Description

Side bucket for car wash

[0001] The present invention relates to a side bucket for washing a car, and more particularly, to a side bucket for washing a car that hangs on a bucket for washing a car and holds various car washing tools.

[0002] Recently, self-car washing, where car users wash off dust and dirt from their cars, has become popular, and various tools for self-car washing have been introduced.

[0003] Tools for self-washing include buckets, grit guards, car shampoo, wash mitts, and drying towels. Users mix car shampoo and water in a bucket equipped with a grit guard, soak a wash mitt in the solution, and then wipe the wheels and paintwork with it. Finally, they dry the car with a drying towel.

[0004] Additionally, self-car washing uses additional tools such as spray containers containing glass cleaner, water-repellent wax, various brushes, gloves, and sponges.

[0005] Self-washing requires a large number of tools, and the process often involves replacing each tool multiple times. However, due to the lack of a suitable storage location, many people end up leaving them on the floor or in the car trunk. If placed on the floor, the tools become contaminated, making it difficult to maintain cleanliness. Leaving them in the trunk complicates the workflow, extending the car wash time.

[0006] The present invention provides a side bucket for washing a car that allows convenient use of car washing tools by hanging them on a car washing bucket used when washing a vehicle.

[0007] A side bucket for a car wash according to the present invention may include a body having a tubular shape with an open upper surface, a first catch provided on the inner side of the upper portion of the body and hooked to the upper portion of a car wash bucket to place the body on the outer side of the car wash bucket, and a second catch provided on the outer side of the upper portion of the body and hooked to the upper portion of the car wash bucket to place the body on the inner side of the car wash bucket.

[0008] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the body may have a cylindrical shape in which an inner wall, an outer wall, and a bottom wall are connected to each other, and the first catch may be provided at the upper end of the inner wall, and the second catch may be provided at the upper end of the outer wall.

[0009] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the inner wall may include a central portion having a curved shape and side portions having a flat shape, each of which is connected to both sides of the central portion.

[0010] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the first catch is provided at the upper end of the central portion and includes a cylindrical catch that catches the cylindrical car wash bucket, and when the body is placed on the outside of the car wash bucket, the central portion can face the side wall of the car wash bucket.

[0011] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the first catch is provided on the upper end of the side portions and further includes a square catch that catches the square-shaped car wash bucket, and when the body is placed on the outside of the car wash bucket, the side portions can face the side wall of the car wash bucket.

[0012] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the outer wall has a curved shape, and when the car wash bucket has a cylindrical shape, the outer wall can face the side wall of the car wash bucket when the body is placed inside the car wash bucket.

[0013] According to one embodiment of the present invention, at least one of the inner surface of the outer wall and the inner surface of the inner wall may be provided with a step-shaped protrusion for brushing or washing a wash mitt.

[0014] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the protrusion has a plurality of openings penetrating the outer wall or the inner wall, and foreign substances of the car wash brush or water or solution of the car wash mitt can be discharged through the openings.

[0015] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the inner wall is connected to the bottom wall so as to be inclined inwardly upward, and the outer wall is connected so as to be inclined inwardly upward, and when the body is placed on the outside or inside of the car wash bucket, the protrusion can be exposed to the outside due to the inclination of the outer wall or the outer wall.

[0016] The car wash side bucket according to the present invention can be mounted on the outside of a cylindrical car wash bucket using the cylindrical catch, or on the inside of a cylindrical car wash bucket using the second catch. Accordingly, the usability of the car wash side bucket can be increased.

[0017] In addition, the car wash side bucket can be mounted on the outside or inside of a square-shaped car wash bucket using the square-shaped bracket. Therefore, the car wash side bucket can be used not only on a cylindrical car wash bucket but also on a square-shaped car wash bucket. Therefore, the usability of the car wash side bucket can be further increased.

[0018] In addition, since the side bucket for washing the car can be placed on the inside of the side bucket for washing the car, the convenience of storing the side bucket for washing the car can be increased.

[0019] Meanwhile, the cleaning of the car wash brush and the washing of the car wash mitt can be easily accomplished by using the protrusion provided on the inner surface of the outer wall or the inner surface of the inner wall.

[0028]

[0029] FIG. 1 is a perspective view for explaining a side bucket for a car wash according to one embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a bottom perspective view for explaining the side bucket for a car wash illustrated in FIG. 1, FIGS. 3 to 6 are a front view, a rear view, a side view, and a plan view for explaining the side bucket for a car wash illustrated in FIG. 1, and FIGS. 7 and 8 are perspective views for explaining a state of use of the side bucket for a car wash illustrated in FIG. 1.

[0030] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 8, the car wash side bucket (100) is configured to allow convenient use of car wash tools by hanging them on the car wash bucket (10) used during car wash, and includes a body (110), a first hook (120), and a second hook (130).

[0031] The above body (110) has a cylindrical shape with an open upper surface.

[0032] Specifically, the body (110) may have a tubular shape in which the inner wall (111), the outer wall (112), and the bottom wall (113) are connected to each other.

[0033] The inner wall (111) may include a central portion (111a) and side portions (111b).

[0034] The central portion (111a) above has a curved shape. In the case where the car wash bucket (10) has a cylindrical shape, the central portion (111a) may have the same curvature as the side wall (11) of the car wash bucket (10).

[0035] The above side portions (111b) are connected to each side of the central portion (111a) and have a flat shape.

[0036] The outer wall (112) has a curved shape. In the case where the car wash bucket (10) has a cylindrical shape, the outer wall (112) may have the same curvature as the side wall (11) of the car wash bucket (10).

[0037] The outer wall (112) and the central portion (111a) may be formed with curved surfaces in the same direction.

[0038] At least one of the inner surface of the outer wall (112) and the inner surface of the inner wall (111) may be provided with a step-shaped protrusion (114). The protrusion (114) may be formed in an up-and-down direction. The protrusion (114) may function as a kind of washboard. A car wash brush may be rubbed on the protrusion (114) to remove foreign substances, or a car wash mitt may be rubbed on the protrusion to wash. Therefore, the car wash brush and the car wash mitt can be easily cleaned.

[0039] The protrusion (114) is provided with a plurality of openings (114a) penetrating the outer wall (112) or the inner wall (111). Foreign substances from the car wash brush or water or solution from the car wash mitt can be discharged through the openings (114a). Accordingly, it is possible to reduce the accumulation of foreign substances on the bottom of the body (110) or to reduce the accumulation of water or solution on the bottom of the body (110).

[0040] The above bottom wall (113) may be provided with a discharge port (113a). The above discharge port (113a) may be provided through the bottom wall (113).

[0041] For example, the discharge port (113a) may be located along the edge of the bottom wall (113).

[0042] Specifically, the discharge port (113a) may include a first discharge port located at both ends of a portion connected to the central portion (111a) of the inner wall (111) in the bottom wall (113), and a second discharge port located at the center of a portion connected to the outer wall (112) in the bottom wall (113).

[0043] As another example, the outlet (113a) may be located at the center of the bottom wall (113).

[0044] Water or solution inside the body (110) can be discharged through the discharge port (113a).

[0045] Meanwhile, the inner wall (111) may be connected to the bottom wall (113) so as to be inclined upwardly toward the inner side, and the outer wall (112) may be connected so as to be inclined upwardly toward the outer side. Accordingly, the body (110) has a shape in which the cross-sectional area increases from the bottom wall (113) toward the upper surface.

[0046] When the body (110) is placed on the outside of the car wash bucket (10), the inner wall (111) is erected, so the outer wall (112) can be further inclined. Due to the inclination of the outer wall (112), the protrusion (114) provided on the outer wall (112) is easily exposed to the outside.

[0047] Likewise, when the body (110) is placed on the inside of the car wash bucket (10), the inner wall (111) can be further inclined as the outer wall (112) is erected. Due to the inclination of the inner wall (111), the protrusion (114) provided on the inner wall (111) is easily exposed to the outside.

[0048] Since the above protrusion (114) is easily exposed to the outside, the above protrusion (114) can be conveniently used.

[0049] When the body (110) is placed on the outside of the car wash bucket (10), the inner wall (111) is raised, so that the bottom wall (113) is inclined outward. Accordingly, water or solution inside the body (110) can be discharged through the second discharge port.

[0050] When the body (110) is placed on the inside of the car wash bucket (10), the outer wall (112) is raised so that the bottom wall (113) can be inclined inward. Accordingly, water or solution inside the body (110) can be discharged through the first discharge port.

[0051] The first catch (120) is provided on the upper inner side of the body (110) and is hung on the upper side of the car wash bucket (10) so that the body (110) can be placed on the outer side of the car wash bucket (10).

[0052] Specifically, it can be provided on the upper end of the inner wall (111) of the first hanging protrusion (120).

[0053] The first catch (120) may include a cylindrical catch (121) provided at the upper end of the central portion (111a). Since the cylindrical catch (121) is provided at the upper end of the central portion (111a) having a curved shape, the cylindrical catch (121) has an arc shape.

[0054] The above cylindrical catch (121) can be caught on the top of the cylindrical car wash bucket (10).

[0055] When the body (110) is positioned on the outside of the cylindrical car wash bucket (10) and the cylindrical catch (121) is caught on the upper end of the cylindrical car wash bucket (10), the central portion (111a) faces the side wall (11) of the car wash bucket (10).

[0056] Since the central portion (111a) has the same curvature as the side wall (11) of the car wash bucket (10), the car wash side bucket (100) can be stably placed on the outside of the cylindrical car wash bucket (10) using the cylindrical catch (121).

[0057] The second catch (130) is provided on the upper outer side of the body (110) and is hung on the upper side of the car wash bucket (10) so that the body (110) can be placed on the inner side of the car wash bucket (10).

[0058] Specifically, it can be provided on the upper end of the outer wall (112) of the second catch (130).

[0059] Since the second catch (130) is provided on the upper end of the outer wall (112) having a curved shape, the second catch (130) has an arc shape.

[0060] The second catch (130) may be provided on the entire upper portion of the outer wall (112) or may be provided spaced apart from each other on a portion of the upper portion of the outer wall (112).

[0061] The above second catch (130) can be caught on the upper end of the cylindrical car wash bucket (10).

[0062] When the body (110) is positioned on the inside of the cylindrical car wash bucket (10) and the second catch (130) is caught on the upper end of the cylindrical car wash bucket (10), the outer wall (112) faces the side wall (11) of the cylindrical car wash bucket (10).

[0063] Since the outer wall (112) has the same curvature as the side wall (11) of the car wash bucket (10), the car wash side bucket (100) can be stably placed on the inside of the cylindrical car wash bucket (10) using the second catch (130).

[0064] The above-described car wash side bucket (100) can be placed on the outer and inner sides of the cylindrical car wash bucket (10) using the cylindrical catch (121) of the first catch (120) and the second catch (130). Therefore, the usability of the car wash side bucket (100) can be increased.

[0065] Although not illustrated in detail, the first catch (120) may include a square catch provided at the upper end of the side portions (111b). Since the square catch is provided at the upper end of the side portions (111b) having a flat shape, the square catch has a straight shape.

[0066] The above square-shaped hanging jaw can be hung on the top of the square-shaped car wash bucket (10).

[0067] When the body (110) is positioned on the outside of the square-shaped car wash bucket (10) and the square-shaped catch is caught on the top of the square-shaped car wash bucket (10), the side portions (111b) face the outer surface of the side wall (11) of the square-shaped car wash bucket (10).

[0068] In addition, even if the body (110) is positioned inside the square-shaped car wash bucket (10) and the square-shaped catch is caught on the top of the square-shaped car wash bucket (10), the side portions (111b) face the inner surface of the side wall (11) of the square-shaped car wash bucket (10).

[0069] Since the above side portions (111b) have the same flat shape as the side wall (11) of the square-shaped car wash bucket (10), the car wash side bucket (100) can be stably placed on the outside or inside of the square-shaped car wash bucket (10) using the square-shaped catch. Accordingly, the usability of the car wash side bucket (100) can be further increased.

[0070] Since the above-mentioned car wash side bucket (100) can be placed on the inside of the car wash bucket (10) having a cylindrical or square shape, the convenience of storage of the car wash side bucket (100) can be increased.

[0071]
