Description

Technical area

[0001] The invention relates to a device for hygienic cleaning and disposal of residues after using a toilet. This device represents an environmentally friendly and hygienic alternative to the conventional toilet brush. State of the art

[0002] Currently, toilet brushes are used to clean toilets after use. However, these brushes are unhygienic, difficult to clean, and pollute the environment through their production and disposal. Furthermore, direct contact with residue can spread bacteria and germs. Object of the invention

[0003] The aim of the invention is to provide a contactless, hygienic and environmentally friendly cleaning device that solves the problems mentioned. Solution to the task

[0004] The invention solves this problem with a special device that effectively removes residues after toilet use without the user coming into direct contact with them. Its special design and shape minimize the need for water and cleaning agents, making it particularly environmentally friendly. Detailed description of the device1. Cleaning element

[0005] The central cleaning element is made of a specially developed material that effectively removes residue without direct contact with the user's hand. It is similar to toilet paper but more robust to enable thorough cleaning. Materials:

[0006] Recycled paper: High-quality, absorbent recycled paper with high strength and pleasant softness.

[0007] Biodegradable materials: The material decomposes in water after use and can be easily disposed of by flushing the toilet. Different paper forms (addition of 16.12.2024):

[0008] The device is available in different shapes to meet different needs: 1. Rectangular, flat shape: Ideal for precise applications in tight spaces. 2. Cylindrical or rectangular shape: Suitable for larger areas to increase efficiency. 3. Round or oval shape: Ergonomically shaped, ideal for gentle and even application. 4. Customization: The device can also be manufactured in other shapes according to the customer's wishes and preferences.

[0009] Additionally, the device is available in a variety of colors to suit user preferences and the requirements of specific applications. This variety offers a high degree of flexibility and allows for a wide range of uses for different needs and requirements. 2. Packaging and application

[0010] The cleaning elements are available in practical packaging similar to paper tissues (e.g., Tempo packs). This allows them to be easily removed and hygienically disposed of after use. 3. Activation component (optional)

[0011] The device may be equipped with an activation component that, upon contact with water, triggers a mechanism to enhance the cleaning performance. Materials:

[0012] Water-soluble layer: A water-soluble film that activates upon contact with water and releases a gentle cleaning solution.

[0013] Eco-friendly cleaning products: Biodegradable substances that do not harm the toilet or the environment. Summary

[0014] The entire device is designed to be as environmentally friendly as possible. The main components are made of recyclable and biodegradable materials to avoid the environmental impact of conventional toilet brushes. After use, the cleaning element can be flushed directly down the toilet.

[0015] Thanks to the practical packaging, the cleaning elements can be easily removed and used hygienically without the need for a separate holding system.

Claims

[1] Device for hygienic cleaning and disposal of residues after using a toilet, comprising: a cleaning element made of a special, robust but soft material designed to effectively remove residues in the toilet without the user coming into direct contact with these residues; the cleaning element is made of high-quality recycled paper that has high absorbency and is completely biodegradable, so it decomposes quickly after use in water; a holding system that holds the cleaning element in a stable and ergonomically shaped manner, allowing easy handling; the holding system is made of an environmentally friendly plastic or a natural fiber composite material that is strong enough to hold the cleaning element in position and at the same time light enough to be disposed of or cleaned after use; a disposal unit that allows the user to dispose of the cleaning element without contact. [2] The device of claim 1, wherein the retention system comprises a reusable or biodegradable component. [3] Device according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the device is equipped with an activation component which, upon contact with water or by a mechanical trigger, increases the cleaning power of the cleaning element, for example by foaming or the release of cleaning agents. [4] The device of claim 3, wherein the activating component comprises a water-soluble layer that is activated upon contact with water and releases a gentle cleaning solution. [5] Device according to one of the preceding claims, wherein the cleaning agents used in the activation component are based on biodegradable substances which do not pollute the toilet or the environment. [6] Apparatus according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the apparatus is designed to minimize the need for water and cleaning agents. [7] A device according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the cleaning element is made of fibers designed to ensure thorough cleaning while at the same time being soft enough not to cause damage to the toilet bowl.
