Benefits of technology

[0008]Such structure not only provides the two-way brush of the present invention the functionality of the brush body, but also the functionality of the conventional sponge brush head after covered with the cap of non-woven fabric. In addition, when the cap of non-woven fabric is to be replaced, only the movable sleeve needs to be pushed from the middle of the rod toward the front end, whereby the cap of non-woven fabric is pushed off the brush body, which is convenient while maintaining hygiene of hands.

Problems solved by technology

The conventional brushes for cleaning the bathroom, especially the toilet brushes, can only provide a single cleaning effect because of having only a single brush head.
However, this may cause a mess in the bathroom due to too many utensils.
However, in order to make the sponge brush head bound to the front end of the brush rod tightly, a certain density of the sponge should be maintained, leading to the necessity of employing the costly high-density sponge.
Yet, compared with the brush head made with elastic bristles, the wear resistance of the sponge brush head is poor.
The sponge brush head falls off the rod easily once damaged.
In addition, the sponge brush head tends to develop germs and mold in humid environment.
If the sponge brush head is to be replaced forthwith, the tainted sponge brush head has to be removed by hand, which may contaminate user's hand and jeopardize personal hygiene.

Embodiment Construction

[0017]As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the two-way brush of the present invention comprises at least a rod 10, a brush body 20, and a movable sleeve 30.

[0018]A brush body 20 is fixed to the front end of the rod 10, and a movable sleeve 30 sheathes the middle of the rod 10.

[0019]The rod 10 described in this embodiment has a front end 12 and a rear end 13, wherein in addition to the brush body 20, a barricade 201 is also disposed on the front end 12 facing the brush body 20, which prevents splatter or backflow caused by the brush body 20 during brushing from going into the movable sleeve 30 and contaminating user's hand or other components. Meanwhile, the barricade 201 prevents the two-way brush of the present invention from jamming in the catchment basin of the toilet. A handle 11 extends from the rear end 13, the outer diameter of the handle 11 greater than that of the front end 12. A plurality of curved recess 111 are disposed on the surface of the handle 11 for enhancing friction an...

Abstract

The invention relates to a two-way brush having a rod, a brush body being disposed on an front end of the rod. A movable sleeve sheathes the middle of the rod. An end of the movable sleeve facing the brush body includes a bell-shaped opening for holding the brush body. Moreover, the brush body may be further covered with a cap of non-woven fabric.The two-way brush of the present invention is provided with the functionality of the brush body, and after covered with the cap of non-woven fabric, which is further provided with the functionality of the conventional sponge brush head. When the cap of non-woven fabric is to be replaced, only the movable sleeve needs to be pushed from the middle of the rod toward the front end, whereby the cap of non-woven fabric is pushed off the brush body, which is convenient while maintaining hygiene of hands.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Technical Field[0002]The present invention relates to a two-way brush, in particular to a two-way brush for cleaning the toilet.[0003]2. Related Art[0004]The conventional brushes for cleaning the bathroom, especially the toilet brushes, can only provide a single cleaning effect because of having only a single brush head. Accordingly, there are usually two brushes prepared in the bathroom, one having a sponge brush head, the other having a brush head made with elastic bristles, so as to achieve different cleaning effect. However, this may cause a mess in the bathroom due to too many utensils.[0005]Further, the sponge brush head only has a sponge surface (outer layer). However, in order to make the sponge brush head bound to the front end of the brush rod tightly, a certain density of the sponge should be maintained, leading to the necessity of employing the costly high-density sponge.[0006]Yet, compared with the brush head made with elastic bristle...
