Definitions

  • the invention relates to a brush with a tubular handle element containing a cover element, a brush body which is rotatable relative to the latter and a locking element which is displaceably fastened to the handle element and which cooperates with the brush body in order to lock it against the handle element.
  • Such a brush is known from German utility model 72 46 522.
  • the brush body contains a hole 'running perpendicular to it with a screw about which a cover can be rotated.
  • the cover contains a locking pin on the outside, which can engage in various holes in the top of the brush body. The operator must use two hands to turn the brush body relative to the handle, which makes operation more difficult.
  • a washing brush (DE-GBM 69 31 637) is also known, in which the brush body can be pivoted about an axis which runs parallel to its longitudinal extent.
  • the brush body should be pivotable about an axis that is perpendicular to its plane.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a brush, in particular a washing brush, which allows simple operation with the simplest possible construction and thus as simple and inexpensive to manufacture as possible, without the functionality suffering.
  • the brush body has a circular opening on its top, into which a circular edge of the cover element engages, the locking element being arranged approximately in the middle of the brush body and preferably cooperating with a locking device at the edge of the opening.
  • the arrangement of the locking element centrally on the brush body makes it possible to actuate the locking element with the hand holding the handle of the brush, for example with the thumb. This enables easy handling.
  • the brush is also of simpler construction according to the invention.
  • the locking element is spring-loaded and can be released from its locking position by being pushed in.
  • the spring action is increased by the pressure prevailing inside the brush, so that the locking under water pressure is further improved. This increased resistance when actuating the locking element during use is clearly noticeable to the user.
  • the cover element has an approximately circular-cylindrical extension in the area of its edge, which engages in the opening of the brush body.
  • This circular-cylindrical approach leads to better guiding and holding of the cover element or of the grip element integrally connected to it relative to the brush body.
  • the approach can be fully executed on the inside, but it is particularly advantageous if it is hollow so that it has the shape of a circular cylinder ring.
  • the brush body has an approximately circular-cylindrical apron in the region of the edge of its opening, which is preferably directed into the brush body.
  • a further improved guidance and holding of the brush body relative to the cover element can be achieved. This not only ensures a play-free rotatability, but also ensures that the freedom from play remains even after long use.
  • the backlash-free holder is of particular interest if the brush is a washing brush in which the water is not supposed to exit through the joint, but rather from the brush surface.
  • the invention instead proposes that the shoulder and / or the apron have a groove and the other part has a rib engaging in the groove can.
  • the two parts can simply be snapped into one another, for which purpose the rib and / or the groove can have a corresponding shape.
  • An embodiment is preferred in which the rib is arranged on the brush body and the groove on the cover element.
  • At least one shoulder for engaging an O-ring is arranged on the outside of the attachment of the cover element and / or the inside of the apron. It is an extremely inexpensive component, so that a good seal can be achieved with simple means.
  • an apron of the brush body is concentrically connected to an inner circular cylindrical ring with the aid of webs.
  • This inner circular cylinder ring can be used, for example, to improve the guidance of the cover element or to improve the seal.
  • the webs leave openings between them through which the water can pass unhindered.
  • the extension of the cover element is designed as a hollow cylinder, it can advantageously engage between the apron and the inner circular cylinder ring. This results in improved guidance of the cover element.
  • the cover element on its underside is a cylindrical skirt designed as a contact surface for a seal on the locking element in the region of a passage opening for the drive element ment. Since the drive element moves perpendicularly to the extent of the seal when it is actuated, it makes sense here to provide a larger contact surface for the seal, which is done particularly cheaply with this measure.
  • the invention provides that the locking element has on its outside a toothing which engages in a toothing on the brush body, a displacement of the locking element disengaging the toothing.
  • the toothing can consist, for example, of webs which are rectangular in cross section with spaces arranged between the webs. The webs can be chamfered, so that the sliding of the teeth into each other is facilitated. It is particularly expedient if the toothing of the brush body is arranged on the inside of the inner cylinder ring.
  • the locking element can advantageously have a disk-like base with a hollow central pin which projects through a through opening of the cover element.
  • the locking element is not only easy to manufacture, but it is also possible that the toothing can be arranged on the disk-like part, while the hollow central pin can be designed such that it is adapted, for example, to the contour of a thumb of the user, thereby creating a to allow easier operation.
  • the hollow central pin expediently has at least partially a square or other non-circular cross-section, so that it is ensured that the locking element is inserted in the correct orientation during assembly.
  • the interior of the hollow center pin can advantageously accommodate a compression spring which is supported on the one hand in the hollow center pin and on the other hand on the brush body or the part receiving the brushes.
  • the locking element has guide pins arranged parallel to the axis of rotation, which preferably cooperate with guide walls arranged on the underside of the cover element. This allows the locking element to be guided in an exact, smooth manner, so that the risk of canting or stiffness is eliminated. This also contributes to the ease of use of the brush proposed by the invention.
  • the washing brush shown in FIG. 1 contains a hollow brush body 11, on the underside of which the schematically indicated bristles 12 are attached. On its side facing away from the bristles 12, a cover element 13 is arranged on the brush body 11, which integrally merges into a tubular handle element 14.
  • the grip element 14 contains a corrugation 15 on its outside and a coupling piece 16 at its free end.
  • the coupling piece 16 contains an outwardly facing attachment with an external thread 17 and a grip ring 18 with recessed grips 19. With the aid of the coupling piece 16, the washing brush can be used, for example an extension handle can be screwed on.
  • a push button 20 protrudes from it, which is part of the locking element, with the aid of which the cover element 13 or the grip element 14 integrally connected thereto can be locked relative to the brush body 11.
  • the cover element 13 can be rotated about an axis running perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.
  • FIG. 2 now shows a top view of the washing brush according to FIG. 1.
  • the cover element 13 contains an essentially circular edge 21 which is partially covered by the tubular handle element 14 in FIG. 2.
  • a trough 22 is attached, which enables easier access to the push button 20. It has a rectangular cross section with rounded ends.
  • the axis about which the brush body 11 can be rotated relative to the cover element 13 held fixed is perpendicular to the plane of the paper and passes through the center of the circle on which the edge 21 of the cover element lies.
  • the cover element 13 On the side facing away from the coupling piece 16, the cover element 13 contains, in the region of its edge 21, a pointer-shaped marking 23, which has a plurality of dash marks 24 arranged opposite it on the brush body 11. These markings serve to facilitate the adjustment of the various locking positions, since in each locking position the pointer 23 is opposite a line marking 24. There are a total of twelve line markings 24, and the number of different possible angular positions is twelve.
  • Fig. 3 now shows a longitudinal section through the washing brush according to the invention.
  • the bristles 12 are attached to a bottom plate 25 screwed to the underside of the brush body 11.
  • the bristles 12 are attached in such a way that a single bundle is shot into one of the various conical recesses 26 which are open at the bottom.
  • the base plate 25 is screwed to the brush body 11 with the aid of two screws 27, the outer edge 28 of the base plate 25 being additionally wedged by individual ribs 29. Between the base plate 25 and the outer edge 30 of the brush body 11, an O-ring 30 is inserted, which serves to seal the brush downwards.
  • the base plate 25 contains a plurality of through openings 32, from which the water is directed out of the hollow Inside the brush body 11 can escape into the space between the bristles 12.
  • the brush body 11 In its central region, the brush body 11 contains an opening 33, the edge of which has a cylindrical ring-shaped skirt 34 directed into the interior of the brush body 11.
  • An inner circular cylindrical ring 35 is arranged concentrically with the apron 34 and is connected to the apron 34 via webs 36 which form openings between them for the passage of water.
  • the cover element 13 contains in the region of its edge on its underside a cylindrical ring-shaped extension 40 which is arranged directly inside the skirt 34 and engages in the space between the skirt 34 and the cylindrical ring 35.
  • the locking element 37 which has an approximately disk-shaped base 38 and a central hollow central pin 39, which forms the push button 20 on its upper side, is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the cover element 13.
  • the hollow center pin 39 extends through an opening in the cover element 13.
  • the base 38 of the locking element 37 contains a total of four guide pins 41 which are rectangular in cross section, of which only two can be seen in FIG. 3.
  • the guide pins 41 have different lengths, so that they prevent incorrect insertion of the locking element 37.
  • the guide pin 41 are immediately in front of one Guide wall 42 so that they effect an exact guidance of the locking element 37.
  • a compression spring 43 is inserted, which is supported on the underside of the base plate 25.
  • it contains radially extending walls 44 which are dimensioned such that their mutual distance corresponds to the outside diameter of the compression spring 43.
  • the water passes through the interior of the hollow handle element 14 through a central opening 45 in a partition 46 and through the space between the cylindrical extension 40 and the cylindrical inner ring 35 into the interior of the brush body and from there through the openings 32 to the bristles.
  • the inward facing apron 34 of the brush body 11 contains a rib 47 on its inside, while the opposite outside of the cylindrical extension 40 of the cover element 13 has a groove 48.
  • the rib 47 engages in the groove 48 in the position shown.
  • the space between the outer edge 49 of the cover element 13 and the outside of the cylindrical extension 40 forms a shoulder 50 which is spaced apart from a similar shoulder 51 on the brush body 11.
  • An O-ring is inserted in the space 52 formed thereby for sealing.
  • a toothing 55 is attached, the two toothings cooperating with each other for locking.
  • the cover element 13 has on its underside in the area of the opening 56 for the locking element 37 a cylindrical skirt 57, while the hollow central pin 39 has a seal 58 on its outside in this area.
