Definitions

  • the invention relates to a broom comprising a bristle carrier body and a handle attached in its central region.
  • the phenomenon is known that with increasing width of the broom, so length of the bristle carrier body, with stiff bristles the broom with the bristles no longer evenly rests when sweeping on the ground, but vibrates around a running in the sweeping axis, due to the - depending on the irregularities of the ground and unevenly applied force of the user - once at the left and once at the right end of the bristle carrier body from the ground a higher or lower force against the bristle carrier body is applied, and thereby one of the ends is pushed up and at Movement in the sweeping direction can also lift off the ground.
  • the space required for storing such a broom is much greater than for a conventional broom with a straight bristle carrier body.
  • a broom has very soft, so very elastic-elastic, bristles, the problem continues to occur, that in most cases a sweeping is possible only in the drawing direction, and less and less in the sliding direction, since when pushing the applied force of User is applied obliquely down on the broom, and thereby the bristles bend and brake hard on the ground, while pulling almost no force component is applied vertically down to the broom, except the weight of the being.
  • Another problem with almost all broom types is the sweeping of an edge between a horizontal and a vertical surface. This problem is greater, the shorter the bristles are and the less obliquely outward they protrude from the broom head or its base body.
  • a broom can be used with a greater width and thus greater sweeping, without the hindering rocking or lifting off the ground in areas of the broom.
  • the bristle area runs parallel to its trailing edge and thus, seen in the sweeping direction, the bristle area is everywhere the same width. This applies at least to the left region and / or the right region of the bristle region separately, preferably over the entire bristle region.
  • a contiguous contour of a leading edge and a trailing edge is preferably one complete sine wave results.
  • the shape of the left area is identical to the shape of the right area, and preferably left and right range from the respective outer end to the longitudinal center of the bristle area, in particular of the broom head.
  • the deflection should be between 2 % and 20 %, better still between 3 % and 12 %, better between 5 % and 10 %, better between 6 % and 9 % of the transversely measured width of this curved area, So with a cavity the depth of the cavity and with a convex edge the height of the convex deflection.
  • this deflection of the convex shape or depth of the cavity should range between 0.3 cm and 4.0 cm, in particular between 0.5 cm and 2.5 cm, in particular between 1.0 cm and 2.0 cm As tests have shown, and remarkably, these absolute values are hardly dependent on the width of the curved contour.
  • the point at which the curvature of the bristle area changes is the center of the bristle area, especially in the case of a bristle area of equal width.
  • the bristle area is thus point-symmetrical designed to the center, ie the intersection of the longitudinal direction of the sweeping direction with the viewed in the top view center line of the bristle area.
  • the individual curved contours ie cavities or convex contours, are preferably formed laterally symmetrically to the longitudinal direction through their lowest or highest point, which has proved to be particularly advantageous in tests, or more curved in the outer region than to the middle of the bristle region out.
  • the bristle carrier body to which the bristles are attached either over the entire width - ie extending in the transverse direction - be integrally formed, or consist of one or more separate left and right carrier body parts, which are then fixed directly or indirectly against each other.
  • the bristle carrier body is preferably fastened to a head base body on which the attachment device for the stem is arranged, and preferably positively secured to this head base body.
  • the attachment device for the stem is preferably not a rigid attachment device, but designed as a joint, so that the attached to the one part of the joint stem relative to the attached to the other part of the joint bristle support body or in particular a head body adjustable: Preferably, an adjustability given in a longitudinally extending vertically vertical longitudinal plane, whereby the inclination of the stem can be adapted to the size of the user to each lead the bristles as perpendicular to the ground when sweeping or the flat bottom of the bristle support body as parallel to the ground respectively.
  • the attachment of the bristle-carrying body which preferably consists of the same material as the bristles, preferably takes place in a form-fitting manner on the head base body by means of the inherent elasticity of the bristle-supporting body, considered in cross-section example, C-shaped and can be mounted on a matching contour of the head body.
  • the fastening device is arranged, on which the handle is attached.
  • the two support body parts may be designed relative to one another or relative to the part arranged therebetween, such as the fastening device preferably pivotable about a vertical axis and in the respective desired pivot position also adjustable.
  • the two support body parts at an angle to each other, so not aligned with respect to their main extension direction, or the two support body parts can be adjusted in alignment with each other with respect to their main directions of extension, but at an angle deviating from 90 ° to the sweeping direction.
  • the joint of the stem also in a transverse vertical plane, which is so beispielswese by the viewed in the direction of main extension direction of the broom head on the one hand and the stem on the other hand to pivot on the other hand ,
  • This allows the broom head to be pivoted up to a position parallel to the stem, which greatly reduces the space required for storage, especially in very wide broom.
  • the stem is preferably connected only at one point with the broom head, so that only a single such attachment device between broom head and stem is present, preferably in the longitudinal center of the broom head, ie symmetrically on the broom head.
  • the at least one stem is secured to the broom head via at least two transversely spaced locations, that is, there are two laterally spaced attachment devices, each of which may be configured as described above.
  • the two fastening devices are then arranged on the left and right of the longitudinal center and symmetrically to the latter on the broom head, in particular the head base body.
  • Either the handle is then a single handle, which however is fork-shaped with two prongs, at least in its front region, and each of the prongs is fixed with its free end to one of the fastening devices.
  • it may also be two stems, which are connected to each other in particular via a cross brace and thus may be designed for example U-shaped or a single stem is fork-shaped in its entire length. Then the connecting leg of the U-shape can also be used to guide the broom, so as a handle.
  • the bristles should preferably have a relatively low flexural strength transverse to the skin extension direction of the bristles, preferably having a hardness between 50 shore and 70 shore, more preferably between 55 shore and 65 shore.
  • bristles made of a rubber-like material, in particular of synthetic rubber or natural rubber are particularly well suited.
  • Such rubbery bristles may be integrally formed together with the bristle support body, for example by injection molding.
  • the cross section of the bristles should have at least one pointing in the sliding direction and / or in the drawing direction of the broom indentation, at least in the lower end region, the intermediate angle between the flanks of the indentation - regardless of whether the contour is rounded or angular - preferably larger than 40 ° should preferably be 50 °, in particular even greater than 70 °, preferably greater than 90 °, but preferably not greater than 100 °.
  • transversely extending rows of bristles of one kind may cross-sectional orientation follow in the sweeping direction subsequent rows with the other bristle orientation, or in such a transverse cross-sectional orientation bristles of one and bristles of the other cross-sectional orientation can be arranged by each other, in particular alternately.

  • the shape of the leading edges and trailing edges is in Fig. 1a a curved line, which either has a uniform curvature and thus is a circular arc segment, or has a changing curvature and in particular represents a sine curve, which applies to both the continuous front edge 4 a and the continuous trailing edge 4 b.
  • the bristle area 4 and / or the bristle carrier body 3 and / or the head base body 8 have the shape of a sinusoidal band or a band composed of two counter-arcuate circular arc segments.
  • the Fig. 1b differs in terms of the viewed in the top view bristle area 4 in that the leading edges 4 a and 4 b are no curved, but angled contours, so so the cavities 6 a in the left area of the front edge and 6 b in the right area of the trailing edge V-shaped contour, and also the corresponding opposite edges of the same area form an analogous convex contour.
