Abstract

Cleaning brush system comprises interchangeable heads which can be attached to a shaft (1). A handle (6) can be attached to this which has a battery driven motor (3, 4) which rotates the brush head.

Description

The invention relates to commercial and -unusual household; Sanitary and other brushes.

These brushes are uncomplicated and inexpensive to manufacture.

The disadvantage of commercially available brushes is the cumbersome and often tedious Handling.

The present innovation primarily concerns the change in brush production. This can be illustrated particularly with the example of a toilet brush:
At the end of the toilet brush handle ( Fig. 1) there is usually an eyelet for hanging the same. This eyelet is no longer required according to the prior art, since the brushes are usually in a brush holder. Furthermore, the cross-section of the brush handle is weakened by this eyelet. A simple smaller hole ( 1 ) for a brush rod holder ( Fig. 8) is sufficient here.

The main innovation is the arrangement of a coupling piece ( 2 ) at the end of the brush handle.

When putting on the protective cap ( Fig. 2) the brush can still be used by hand. The eyelet for hanging up can be integrated into this protective cap.

The further innovation concerns the production of a particularly light and cheap motor drive ( Fig. 4) for the brushes. The most important features include the electric motor ( 3 ) for axially driving the brushes, the possibly replaceable accumulator ( 4 ) with plug unit ( 5 ) for the socket ( Fig. 7), the pistol grip ( 6 ) with pusher ( 7 ) for a stepless one Speed control, as well as the matching coupling counterpart ( 8 ) to ( 2 ) and the release button ( 9 ) for the brush coupling ( 2 + 8 ).

The advantage of this brush cleaning system is that it is light and handy Possible application with a wide range of variations. The drive by means of Drill, cordless screwdriver or the like is much too cumbersome and only allows one-handed operation for "strong men" but not for the average housewife too.

Especially in the household, this brush cleaning system enables a stepless axial Revolutions of the ordinary housewife / house husband himself coarsest Soiling in no time and without sweaty exertion in no time remove. This system can also be used in the hobby area or in car maintenance become.

Another advantage of this innovation is that a motor drive can be used for very different brushes. To view an example only a few mentioned here are: toilet brush (Fig. 1), oven brush, bottle brush (Fig. 5) (Fig. 6). Shoe brush ( Fig. 9) and the like.

A special innovation is the production of a sanitary brush ( Fig. 3), which is equipped with a universal joint ( 10 ) and possibly also with a telescopic handle ( 11 ), which allows easy and easy cleaning of showers and bathtubs.

The state of the art today allows inexpensive production of this brush cleaning systems too. Therefore, it can be offered cheaply and affordable for everyone. The possible variations allow sales packages with very different content. The drive unit or the brushes can be used as a single part, spare part or as a whole system are offered. Of course, all brushes can still be operated manually to be used.
