AI Technical Summary
Existing cleaning systems for mixers used in construction materials like grout and tile adhesive require manual cleaning after each use, which is time-consuming and inefficient, leading to inconsistent mixing results due to residue buildup.
A cleaning system with integrated components, including a water-resistant self-adhesive profile pad and UV-resistant polyamide 6.6 bristles, that allows for automatic cleaning of mixers by positioning the agitator against the bristles during rotation, using a bucket filled with water to facilitate quick and effective residue removal.
The system enables effortless and rapid cleaning of mixers, reducing cleaning time significantly and ensuring a clean mixing surface for subsequent processes, thereby maintaining consistent mixing quality.

Abstract
Description
Description of the sketch
[0001] A profile pad made of PLA for attaching C and as a support platform for B. The support consists of water-resistant plastic with a nominal size of approximately 4.5 x 4.5 cm, although the size may vary, but it must accommodate 2 profiles for attaching C.
[0002] B. Water-resistant self-adhesive surface that is virtually impossible to remove, which takes on the size of the pad and serves for attachment to a support wall in the bucket.
[0003] C bristles with angular profile made of UV and water-resistant polyamide 6.6 with high tensile strength mounted on a pad in profile, in length 3.6x14mm, whereby the dimensions can vary in length and width, the arrangement is 2x 2 bristles using a braiding technique on a pad measuring 4.5x4.5 cm. Technical description
[0004] The cleaning system ensures that the spiral mixer / whisk remains clean at all times. The whisk is used to mix grout and tile adhesive, and for mechanical mixing of the materials, residues of the material constantly adhere to the mixer, requiring manual removal after each mixing process.
[0005] By using the cleaning system, this can now be done effortlessly in seconds in the existing bucket, mortar tub or jointing box filled with water.
[0006] The water for cleaning should be in the lower third of the bucket. The fill level should be at least... 50% of the intake volume. The cleaning system facilitates and optimizes work performance, significantly reducing cleaning time. and fulfills the requirement to always produce a clean mixing result in the next mixing process.
[0007] A special feature of this system is that it can be retrofitted into an existing bucket and installed by the user. It simply adheres to the inside of the bucket, and the number of pads used is variable, with the number of pads influencing the cleaning effect. The pads are positioned freely and should be centered at the fill level. During the cleaning process, the agitator is held against the bristles. The rotation of the switched-on stirrer cleans the whisk and shaft automatically.
[0008] The rotation of the switched-on stirrer cleans the whisk and shaft automatically.
Claims
[1] Device designed for cleaning a whisk (stirrer) and comprising profiled bristles (C) on a carrier (A), wherein the bristles are fixed but variably arranged horizontally to the bottom of the bucket on the carrier. A structural connection to the bucket / container is not required! [2] The bristles (C) are according to claim 1 characterized by The body is flat. The bristles retain their shape after use in water and are free of silicone and split ends. The bristles are made of premium PA, which is particularly UV+ water-resistant, without exceeding the scope of the invention. [3] The attachment of the bristles is according to claim 2 characterized bythat it creates a connection. By absorbing the bristles into the existing profile pad. An interweaving of C and A occurs, allowing C to be replaced if necessary. It is understood that the assembly connection consists of the given combination and can also consist of other combinations without departing from the scope of the invention. [4] The cleaning system is according to claim 3 characterized by The whisk is cleaned by its own rotation after a bucket has been filled with water and the whisk, driven by the agitator (while running at low speed), is held against the bristles. This results in a mechanical cleaning process. [5] According to claim 4, the device is characterized by , that the amount of water in the bucket can be variable, however the cleaning performance with water-soluble substances is improved and / or increased by the amount of water and should be at least 1 / 3 of the bucket's volume. The bucket or tub should have a recommended usable volume of approximately 20 liters and be able to accommodate the carrier (A) without blocking the rotating whisk. [6] According to claim 5, the cleaning system characterized by , that The carrier (A) is glued to the bucket wall according to its own requirements; the arrangement can be as a solo pad or as a set, e.g. 5 x pad or in a higher number. [7] According to claim 6, it is characterized that the carrier (A) with the bristles (C) is attached in the bucket by means of self-adhesive (B), without assembly or use of tools. [8] According to claim 7, it should be noted that the cleaning system is supplied without a bucket and is for retrofitting. Any bucket / tub or round container of appropriate size will work.
