Description

[0001] DESCRIPTION

[0002] Multifunctional cleaning tool for elevated surfaces

[0003] OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

[0004] The invention, as the title of this descriptive document states, is a multifunctional cleaning tool for elevated surfaces. It is an innovation that offers advantages previously unknown within current techniques.

[0005] TECHNICAL SECTOR

[0006] The present invention falls within the sector of current needs in brush making, especially in brushes or paintbrushes, specifically in bristle supports located in the mount in an extendable or articulated manner.

[0007] Similarly, it falls within the sector that corresponds to other instruments for removing dust.

[0008] STATE OF THE ART

[0009] The present invention arises from observing that traditional brushes used in activities such as climbing are not effective in removing the fine dust generated when sweeping or scrubbing surfaces.

[0010] These brushes, although useful for surface cleaning, do not completely remove the fine particles that remain suspended in the air, especially in high or hard-to-reach areas, such as on rock walls or blocks.

[0011] This problem is particularly evident in climbing, both in bouldering and sport climbing, where the accumulation of dust can affect visibility and friction, compromising the climber's performance and safety.

[0012] In response to these difficulties, the present invention introduces a multifunctional cleaning tool for elevated surfaces that not only performs the brushing action but also disperses and removes dust particles generated during the cleaning process. This improves cleaning efficiency, ensuring cleaner and safer surfaces for the user.

[0013] Currently, there is no known existence of any multifunctional cleaning tool for elevated surfaces that presents structural and constitutive technical characteristics equal or similar to those described in this descriptive report, as claimed.

[0014] DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0015] The object of the present invention is the creation of a multifunctional cleaning tool for elevated surfaces that brings a notable innovation within its field of application in the current state of the art, the characterizing details that make it possible being conveniently included in the final claims that accompany the present description.

[0016] The present invention relates to a multifunctional cleaning tool for elevated surfaces, comprising a telescopic element with a duct connected to a compressed air generator. The duct directs the airflow to a nozzle designed to expel it. This nozzle works in conjunction with a cleaning tool, which can be of various types, attached by an anchoring mechanism to the end of the telescopic element at a joint. The anchoring mechanism allows the cleaning tool to be removed and replaced with another tool or a clamping element, thus adapting to the user's needs.

[0017] This invention solves the problem of effective cleaning on elevated surfaces, a common challenge with traditional methods that fail to completely remove the fine dust generated during the brushing process.

[0018] This significantly improves cleaning efficiency, especially in hard-to-reach areas or in specific applications where thorough cleaning is essential.

[0019] The practical benefits of this multifunctional tool include increased efficiency and speed in the cleaning process, optimizing the user's time and effort. Its adaptable design allows the tool to be adjusted to the specific needs of each user, providing a versatile solution for different surfaces and tasks. Furthermore, its ability to easily replace accessories contributes to a more streamlined and convenient cleaning experience, without compromising the final results.

[0020] The telescopic element is typically configured as a hollow rod, designed to extend and lock into position. This mechanism allows its length to be adjusted according to the user's needs, facilitating access to elevated surfaces and its subsequent retraction for optimized transport and storage. Furthermore, the duct is located inside the telescopic element and is configured to channel the airflow from the compressed air generator to the nozzle.

[0021] Conveniently, the rechargeable and removable compressed air generator (compressor, pressurized air tank, etc.) is housed in the lower part of the telescopic element, although it can be a separate unit connected by a hose to the end of the tubular element, so the user doesn't have to carry the weight of the compressed air generator. The compressed air generator also includes a control button easily accessible to the user, allowing them to activate or deactivate it. This control button can start the compressor, open a valve on the air bottle or tank, etc. If it's a compressor, it has a rechargeable battery that charges via a port, such as USB Type-C, thus facilitating its power supply.

[0022] Furthermore, the nozzle, connected to the duct by means of a flexible tube, is preferably adjustable, allowing its position to be adjusted next to the cleaning tool, complementing its action for effective cleaning of surfaces.

[0023] The preferred cleaning tool is a brush designed to clean surfaces and remove particles. Its size is proportional to the telescopic element, and it is lightweight for ease of use and handling. The brush can be made of bristles, microfiber, be rotating, fixed, etc.

[0024] The preferred anchoring mechanism comprises a snap-on coupling mechanism, which facilitates the replacement of the cleaning element with the fastening element and vice versa.

[0025] The joint is typically configured to rotate at least 180 degrees around an axis perpendicular to the telescopic element, allowing the cleaning tool and clamping element to be oriented in different directions. It also includes a locking system to fix the desired angle of the cleaning tool and clamping element.

[0026] Conveniently, the preferred clamping element is designed as a clipping clamp, typical of climbing, ideal for securely holding quickdraws in a variety of applications. This feature adds extra functionality to the multi-functional tool.

[0027] To use the multifunctional cleaning tool for elevated surfaces, the user must extend the telescopic pole to the desired length and connect the compressed air generator to the base.

[0028] Next, you must turn on the generator and adjust the nozzle, attaching the cleaning tool to the anchoring mechanism.

[0029] The user can adjust the tool as needed and proceed to clean the raised surfaces. After finishing, the tool should be disassembled and cleaned, and the rod retracted for storage.

[0030] EXPLANATION OF THE FIGURES

[0031] To complete the description being made and in order to help in the better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, this descriptive report is accompanied, as an integral part thereof, by a figure in which, for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, the following has been represented.

[0032] Figure 1 shows a view of the multifunctional tool for cleaning elevated surfaces.

[0033] PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION.

[0034] The multifunctional tool for cleaning elevated surfaces shown consists of a telescopic element (1) incorporating a compressed air generator (2) at one end, connected to a duct (3), generally internal to the telescopic element (1), which carries the air to a nozzle (4) at the other end. This nozzle (4) expels the air in a way that assists a detachable cleaning tool (5), which is attached by an anchoring mechanism (6) to a joint (7). This design allows the cleaning tool (5) to be removed and replaced with a clamping element (8), according to the user's specific requirements.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, the telescopic element (1) has a hollow structure, such that the conduit (3) is either its own interior or a flexible hose within it, and is designed to extend and be held in position by a locking mechanism. An example of such a locking mechanism is an eccentric structure, such that the relative rotation of the telescopic element (1) sections locks or releases them. This locking system allows the length of the telescopic element to be adjusted according to the user's needs, facilitating access to elevated surfaces and optimizing storage and transport by allowing it to be retracted.

[0036] In another preferred mode, the compressed air generator (2) is a refillable tank and is detachably housed in the lower part of the telescopic element (1), allowing for easy maintenance and refilling of the generator without the need for additional tools. It can also be a compressor with a rechargeable battery.

[0037] As indicated, the duct (3) can be located inside the telescopic element (1) and channels the compressed air from the generator to the nozzle (4), ensuring a continuous and efficient flow that optimizes the cleaning function.

[0038] Preferably, the nozzle (4) is connected to the duct (3) via a flexible tube (9) that facilitates adjusting the position of the nozzle (4) relative to the end of the telescopic element (1), so that the nozzle (4) can be attached to the cleaning tool (5) and reoriented with it. This adjustment complements the cleaning action, ensuring effective coverage of the surface to be cleaned with the air jet (generally air).

[0039] The cleaning tool (5) is typically a specially designed brush for cleaning surfaces and removing particles. Its size is proportional to the telescopic element (1), and it is lightweight. This makes it easy to handle and use in various situations, even in hard-to-reach places.

[0040] In another preferred embodiment, the anchoring mechanism (6) includes a quick-release coupling system, allowing the cleaning tool (5) to be replaced by the clamping element (8) and vice versa quickly and easily, adapting to various tasks. Preferably, the joint (7) is configured to rotate at least 180°, allowing both the cleaning tool (5) and the clamping element (8) to be oriented in different directions. This adjustment contributes to greater versatility during use.

[0041] Generally, this joint (7) incorporates a locking system to fix the desired angle of the cleaning tool (5) and the clamping element (8), providing precise and stable control during use of the tool.

[0042] Preferably, the clamping element (8) is designed as a clipping clamp, ideal for securely holding express tapes in a variety of applications, offering additional functionality to the multifunctional tool.

[0043] In another preferred mode, the compressed air generator (2) is equipped with a user-accessible control button, allowing the compressed air generator (2) to be easily and quickly activated or deactivated.

[0044] Having sufficiently described the nature of the present invention, as well as the manner of putting it into practice, it is not considered necessary to make its explanation more extensive so that any expert in the field may understand its scope and the advantages that derive from it, it being noted that, within its essentiality, it may be put into practice in other modes of embodiment that differ in detail from the one indicated as an example, and which will also achieve the protection sought provided that its fundamental principle is not altered, changed or modified.
