Definitions

  • House-brush device for washing floors covered with carpets, tufted fabric and the like, embodying at least a liquid delivering system, at least an oscillating brush, particularly adapted to distribute the washing liquid and at least an intaking slit, wherein said system and slit are respectively connected to liquid and depression suppliers.
  • the present invention relates to a device, having consistency and functionality of housebrush, for washing carpeted floors, moquette and the like, embodying, in its chest, at least a washing liquid delivering system, at least an oscillating brush, particularly adapted to distribute the washing liquid, as well as at least an intaking slit, for dirt liquid recovery, wherein said delivering system of the washing liquid and said intaking slit are connected, respectively, to a supply of washing liquid, such as a tank or the like and to an aspirator, particularly adapted to intake and receive the dirty liquid.
  • Figure 1 is vertical schematic cross section of a device, in accordance with the present invention, substantially in operation and in the attitude of washing and contextually intaking the dirty liquid from a carpet or the like.
  • Figure 2 is a schematic perspective plane view of a device including its additional parts; the covering being broken off to show at different levels the otherwise hidden particulars.
  • Figure 3 is substantially a repetition of figure 2 but shown from the bottom side.
  • Figure 4 is a perspective view of a water distributing brush broken at one end to show, at different levels, the detail otherwise hidden.
  • Figure 5 is a perspective view of a drying brush for the device in accordance with the present invention.
  • an housebrush-like device for washing carpeted floors and the like, comprising a substantially effective base body 1 has an handling stick 2 connected thereto, whereon a tank 3 is provided.
  • the base body 1 is substantially in the form of a big shell 10 with a base surface, relatively flat and a central opening 11, provided in the rear upper section, adjacent to corner rounding 10′.
  • Shell 10 comprises the main structure of the device, and to it and in its chest are mounted substantially all the other members.
  • the bipolar branch 40 has a bigger diameter and includes, in a position counterposed to the joint of single branch 41, a pair of longitudinally aligned slits 42 and 43, comprising an outlet supplier otherwise dead, since opened only in correspondence of the branch 41.
  • an intaking pipe not shown, will be connected.
  • the stationary support halves 12, 12′ receiving, in respective saddles, the ends of branch 40, of supplier 4, provide a supporting function in all directions with the collaboration of removable counter support halves 13, 13′, as well as of two pairs of screws 14, 14′.
  • the two depressions, 60, 60′ receive, in their chest, each, a brush 7, 7′.
  • each of them includes, at its ends, a support 67, 67; 67′, 67′ acting as a fulcrum for the pivots 76, 76; 76′, 76′ of respective brush 7, 7′.
  • the forward cavity 60 is subjacent to the water supply and thus receives and control the liquid to the wet brush 7 to which delivers the washing water to be supplied, while la cavity 60′ receives the brush 7′ performing functions complementary to that of the brush 7 since the former distribute the soaped water and the latter intakes the possibly dirty liquid reflow resulting from carpeted floor washing as it will be described in the following.
  • Further structure member is the dispenser 8 of intaking flow that, at downstream pole, provides a slit in cooperation with the wall of cavity 60′ and at the upstream end distributes the wet recovery from the slit in equal parts to the two slits 42, 43.
  • each of parts of structure is provided with means for receiving the connecting members, for assembling of various levels of the device.
  • a frame 9 is provided which is provided with opening corresponding to the cavities 60, 60′ for leaving the brushes 7, 7′ to operate, as well as a slit 60" and on the other side provides projections 90 a shifting skate to keep the device detached from the carpet 09.
  • the device embodied by base 1, is completed by a rounding rim 0, the brushes 7, 7′, that are received respectively in the cavities 60, 60′ and pivoted by supports 67, 67′; 76, 76′.
  • brushes 7, 7′ are connected to supports 67, 67′; 76, 76′ in releasable fashion, so that they may be substituted and changed in accordance with the need.
  • the tank 3 is substantially made in the form of pack saddle so that it embodies the pipe 2.
  • the same tank 3 includes, in its upper section a loading plug for the soaped, as well as a knob 31 for controlling say remote controlling a bottom capillary valve 30 connected to the small hose 36.
  • the water supplier 6 conveys the latter in substantially equal quantities in the holes 66 and from here drops into the pool 77 of the oscillating brush 7, having the task to distribute 71 the liquid on the tuft of the carpet 09 or the like covering the floor.
  • the intaking channel 60 ⁇ is activated by an aspirator, not shown, that depresses the "T" shaped manifold 4 by the pipe 2.
  • the brushes in accordance with the present invention include the wet brush 7, and the drying brush 7′.
  • Each of brushes 7, 7′ is provided at each end, with a pivot 9 having a diameter slightly smaller than the substantially cylindrical seat of support and slightly bigger than the opening of said substantially cylindrical seat.
  • the brush tufts, vertically considered, are distributed on alternated columns and lines respectively having for tuft and six tuft, wherein the six tuft of each tern of lines of tufts are placed as the corners of a regular hexagon whose centre determine the position of through holes 8 to supply the soaped water.
  • the operation device should be evident. However a short description of it will be given hereafter.
  • the device is simple and cheap, it does not include own electric parts, but it operates in combination with an aspirator, not shown, electrical household appliance, generally already owned by users or that, even if purposed bought, can be otherwise and conventionally used.
  • the water generally soaped or added with detergent, brushes the carpet 09 and the brush 7 in presence of to and fro motion thereof, brushes efficiently the carpet tufts.
  • the intaking slit 60" run over the already washed and brushed carpet tufts.
  • the device is also provided with a second brush 7′ which performs a complementary task both regarding that of intaking, during forward motions and of washing, during backward motions
