Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a rice scrubbing brush intended for use in the kitchen of ordinary households.

Traditionally, rice was polished in a typical household by putting rice and water into a container and stirring or massaging the rice directly by hand.

However, since this kind of rice scrubbing work is done almost every day, chilblains and chapped hands are likely to occur in the winter or in cold regions when the water is cold, so it is difficult to do rice scrubbing easily. If there was a device that could do this, it would be valuable to housewives, and its development was long awaited.

The present invention was made in response to such demands, and aims to economically provide a rice scrubbing brush with excellent cleaning effects and ease of use.

The rice scrubbing brush of the present invention is made by twisting two hard wire materials with synthetic resin bristles interposed between the wires to a pitch p and a length l of the bristles. Form a helical blade by uniformly measuring about 3.0 to 6.0 mm along the longitudinal direction of the material, bend this helical blade into a loop shape to form a loop-shaped molded product, and solder two of the loop-shaped molded products. These loop-shaped moldings are arranged almost perpendicularly so that the bristles on the tops of the loop-shaped moldings intersect with each other and restrain the movement of the other loop-shaped moldings, without using any special locking means. A gap larger than the size of the object to be cleaned is formed between the tip of the bristle material of the molded product and the tip of the bristle material of the adjacent molded product. It is.

An embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.
As shown in Fig. 1, the brush 1 for rice scrubbing consists of two loop-shaped molded parts (hereinafter abbreviated as molded parts) 2, 2'.
It is composed of a head portion consisting of a handle 3, and a handle 3 having a substantially perfect circular cross section. Molded products 2 and 2' have exactly the same specifications, but the details of molded product 2 are shown in Figures 2a and 2.
As shown in b, a hair material 5 made of a synthetic resin material such as nylon, which can withstand hot water, is sandwiched between two stainless steel wire materials 4, 4. The hair material 5 is formed into the shape of a spiral feather 6 by twisting in the same direction, and then the twisted product is bent into a loop shape.

The molded parts 2 and 2' are arranged so that their respective top parts 7 and 7' are perpendicular to each other (the angle θ is 90° in FIG. 3).
At the top, the bristles 5 and 5' are placed close to each other in the vertical direction so as to penetrate deeply into each other and restrain the movement of the other molded product, and there is an even and large gap between the molded products 2 and 2'. 8 is formed in four places.

The shape of the helical blade 6 is determined by the length l of the bristles 5 and the pitch p of the helix, as shown in FIG. 2b.
are made uniform along the longitudinal direction of the wire material 4, but the values of l and p are different from those of raw rice when the spiral blade 6,
Approximately the length of the uncooked rice so that it can easily pass through the 6-space gap.
It ranges from 0.5 times (approximately 3.0 mm) to approximately 1.0 times (approximately 6.0 mm).

The handle 3 is made of wood, but may also be made of synthetic resin, and a through hole 9 is provided at the end of the molded product 2 opposite to the top 7 for hanging the brush 1 on the hook. There is. Note that 4' is a linear member.

Thus, by putting rice and water into the container and rotating the head of the brush 1 within the container, the rice scrubbing work can be carried out extremely efficiently. That is,
When the head is rotated (hereinafter, the molded product 2 will be described, but the same applies to the molded product 2'), the hair material 5
Friction on the rice due to the tip of the rice, friction on the rice due to the wire material 4, friction on the rice due to the helical blade 6 when the rice enters and passes through the helical blade 6, friction between rice, etc. occur.

In this case, since a continuous gap of size p is formed in the spiral blade 6, rice is hardly caught between the bristles 5 and clogged. Furthermore, since the length l of the bristles of the bristle material 5 is made uniform, the tips of the bristle material 5 are aligned, so that the same good cleaning effect can be obtained at any location in the longitudinal direction of the molded product 2. There is no need to worry about damaging the container surface, and
The aesthetic appearance is also excellent. Furthermore, since the large gap 8 is provided, the bristle material 5 inside the molded product 2 can also have a sufficient cleaning effect, and even if the bristle material 5,
Even if dirt or foreign matter gets stuck or gets stuck between the brushes 5 and 5, it can be accurately removed by rubbing the spiral blades 6 with your fingers, and the brush itself can also be easily cleaned. be.

In addition, the molded parts 2 and 2' are intertwined with each other so that their movements are restrained without applying any special locking means such as soldering the tops of the molded parts 2 and 2' to each other. Therefore, the rice scrubbing brush has a simple structure, is extremely easy to manufacture, and is highly effective in cleaning.

In each of the above embodiments, the distal end of the molded product is inserted into the handle and the molded product is attached to the handle, but the distal end may be extended and the extended portion may be used as the handle.

As mentioned above, the present invention exhibits a remarkable cleaning effect for rice scrubbers, and is not only easy to use, but also extremely lightweight, easy to manufacture, and inexpensive to provide, and solves the conventional problems faced by housewives. It has the effect of eliminating the problem.
