Brush head collection container for vehicles, especially car washes

Description

[0001] The invention relates to a handle brush head holding container for vehicle, in particular car, washing systems.

[0002] In many car washes, before the actual cleaning of the vehicles, they are pre-cleaned using stick brushes and their brush heads by an applied high-pressure jet of water and / or cleaning fluid.

[0003] Several embodiments of containers for the handle brush heads of stick brushes in / for car washes are known from the prior art, in which essentially a handle brush head of a stick brush is inserted from above into a virtually closed container and placed there. As a rule, the handle brush head is not cleaned, or the container has a lateral slot so that the handle brush head and its bristles can be cleaned with washing fluid or water, usually by means of a high-pressure jet.

[0004] DE 20 2018 000 655 U1 discloses a receiving device for receiving a brush with a brush back and bristles, wherein the receiving device has an interior space for receiving the brush head or the bristles, and wherein the receiving device has a lateral cleaning opening for cleaning the brush head received in the interior space of the receiving device.

[0011] In this context, it is advantageous, as it has proven effective, if the inner handle brush guide is designed in such a way that, when the handle brush is passed through the inner handle brush guide, the handle brush, with its handle below its upper handle end, runs up against a second, middle to lower inner part of the inner handle brush guide arranged diagonally opposite the first, upper inner part, thus achieving a three-surface / three-point fixation of the handle brush within the inner handle brush guide.

[0012] Furthermore, it is advantageous and proven if the handle brush guide is designed as a slope, curve, rocker or lowering mechanism.

[0013] Furthermore, it is advantageous and proven if the cleaning opening is designed in such a way that the bristles of the handle brush head of the handle brush extend completely out of the cleaning opening during use.

[0014] Furthermore, it is advantageous and proven to be the case if a liquid intake is arranged below the cleaning opening, such that liquid is absorbed by the bristles of the handle brush head during use.

[0015] Furthermore, it is advantageous, as has proven effective, if the first, upper inner part has a handle receptacle, such that the handle is held securely in place during use.

[0016] Furthermore, it is advantageous, as it has proven effective, if the stem receptacle is designed in a concave-arched or concave-semicircular shape.

[0017] Furthermore, it is advantageous, as has proven effective, if the second, middle to lower inner part has a run-up edge or a run-up surface, such that in use the handle rests securely against the run-up edge or the run-up surface.

[0018] Furthermore, it is advantageous, as it has proven effective, if the second, middle to lower inner part is designed as an inclined plane, such that in use the handle brush head of the handle brush can be inserted / inserted from above into the downwardly tapered opening.

[0019] Furthermore, it is advantageous and proven if this container has at least one viewing window on the side facing the cleaning opening.

[0020] Furthermore, it is advantageous, as it has proven effective, if the cleaning opening has at least one brush head retention element to prevent the handle brush head of the handle brush from falling out of the cleaning opening.

[0021] In this context, it is advantageous, as it has proven effective, if the brush head retention element is designed in a cone shape.

[0022] In this context, it is advantageous, as it has proven effective, if the cleaning opening has several brush head retention elements.

[0023] Furthermore, it is advantageous, as it has proven effective, if at least one brush head retention element is aligned vertically, horizontally or diagonally.

[0024] Furthermore, according to the invention, a vehicle, in particular motor vehicle, washing system is claimed, comprising a handle brush head receiving container according to the invention.
