AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0006]A goal of the invention is to further develop a brush of the foregoing type that can be cleaned more easily and rapidly following its use. The undesired formation of spray water should thereby be minimized during the cleaning process of the brush.

Problems solved by technology

Previously known washing brushes frequently can be washed out, after their use, only with great effort and only with limited success—particularly if, beforehand, pasty, highly viscous soilings were removed from dishes.
Often, in makeshift fashion, the soilings are then removed with the aid of scissors or knives, wherein there is also the danger of irreparably damaging the brushes.
If during the washing of the washing brush, flowing water strikes the brush head from above, there is a large amount of spray, which is unpleasant for the user of the washing brush.
Furthermore, the water sprays into the surroundings in an undesired and uncontrollable manner.

Embodiment Construction

[0037]FIG. 1 shows an exemplary embodiment of a brush that can be used as a washing brush. The washing brush includes a brush head 1, which is connected with bristles 2. In the illustrated embodiment, all of the bristles 2 are joined together to form bristle bundles 10. Embodiments of the invention using part bristles 2 and par, bristle bundles 10 or only bristles 2 can also be used depending on the application.

[0038]In the illustrated embodiment, the brush head 1 is made of a polymeric material and has a unitary construction with the handle 14 with both the head and the handle being made of the same material.

[0039]Three openings 4, in the form of cleaning channels 3, are located in the brush head 1. The openings completely penetrate the brush head 1 in the washing direction 5. The cleaning channels 3 are shaped as slits, which are arranged transverse to the longitudinal direction 6 of the brush head 1, and extend almost over the entire width of the brush head 1.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention concerns a brush, comprising a brush head, which is connected with bristles, and also refers to a use of the brush.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Brushes with bristles are generally known and can be used in various areas; for example, as washing brushes.[0003]Previously known washing brushes frequently can be washed out, after their use, only with great effort and only with limited success—particularly if, beforehand, pasty, highly viscous soilings were removed from dishes. Frequently, these soilings settle firmly on the shaft of the bristles or bristle bundles, in the transition area to the brush head. Often, in makeshift fashion, the soilings are then removed with the aid of scissors or knives, wherein there is also the danger of irreparably damaging the brushes.[0004]If during the washing of the washing brush, flowing water strikes the brush head from above, there is a large amount of spray, which is unpleasant for the user of the washi...
