Abstract

CLEANING SPONGE AND RESPECTIVE GETTING PROCESS, said cleaning sponge being obtained with the use of a specific loom for the manufacture of sports socks, internally clothed, and essentially comprising a basic and properly stretched tubular braid (1), made with cotton threads , polyamide, polyester, polypropylene or equivalent, braided in which an interlacing is interleaved (2), made however with metallic threads, loosely applied, so as to form, on one of the faces of that basictubular braid (1), a plurality of loose loops (3), thus composing a shaggy surface, called basic tubular braid (1), with the loose interlacing of metallic threads (2), being arranged with the shaggy face turned outwards, as well as flattened laterally on itself, and can then be cut transversely in different segments, naturally having extensions corresponding to the intended destinations for them, and with one or both ends cross sections closed by welding or equivalent, thus composing small pads, gloves, or the like.

Description

"CLEANING SPONGE AND THEIR OBTAINING PROCESS ^ Descriptive report

As everyone knows, household cleaning work in general, whether in kitchens, cleaning and / or washing the stove, crockery, cutlery, pans and the like, in bathrooms, tiling, and even sanitary appliances themselves in any other dependencies, except for the use of the essential cleaning requirements, having them available in multiple and varied types and models, and the choice of another for use depending on the preference of the user and / or the characteristics and requirements of the work or service itself. to be executed.

Thus, for example, the most common and traditional sponges are those consisting of a thin metal filament earwire, wrapped around themselves, forming wads or abrasive bushings, which are then passed and rubbed simply on surfaces to be washed or cleaned, with or without autilization. soaps or detergents, thus lending itself to quick and efficient work.

Another type of cleaning sponge also common and common is that formed by two juxtaposed and adhered spongy plates, made of the same plastic material, but with different textures, densities, and even colors, one softer, for lighter cleaning, and another thicker, for heavier cleaning, said sponge being also of recognized utility and efficiency for such domestic services.

In view of the existence and usefulness of such household appliances, and in order to further broaden the corresponding market which is placed at the disposal of users, it has been envisaged to introduce a new type of cleaning sponge for the same household work, and which is the main object of the present invention, This sponge stands out, not only for its constitutive characteristics and presentation, but also, and most particularly, for the originality and absolutely unusual character of the process of obtaining it.

By the way, to obtain said new cleaning sponge of the present invention, it was based on a known process, not used, however, for obtaining articles of the kind, but for the manufacture of a special kind of sports socks, precisely those that have the inner face towel, thus offering greater softness and comfort in contact with the feet of the user.

And in a nutshell, the process of manufacturing the internally clothed sports socks (which served as the basis for designing the new cleaning sponge, constitutive of the object of the present invention), uses a specific loom, in which a braid is manufactured basic and properly distended tubular, made of cotton, polyamide, polyester, polypropylene or the like, twisted in which at the same time interleaved an interweaving of identical threads, but loosely applied, so as to form, on the inner face of that basic tubular braid, a plurality of loops loose, thus forming a fuzzy surface that characterizes an internal towel exactly as desired to offer more comfort and convenience in contact with the user's foot.

present invention in which:

The accompanying drawings illustrate the tubular forming of the cleaning sponge of the present invention as obtained from the specific loom of its manufacture;

Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the tubular cleaning sponge segment of the previous figure;

Fig. 3 is an enlarged view of a small cross section of the tubular segment Fig. 2;

Fig. 4 is a detail view indicated by side A in Fig. 3: and

Fig. 5 illustrates, in perspective, two cleaning sponges obtained from the segmentotubular of Fig. 1.

As illustrated by the above related figures, the cleaning sponge, constituting the main object of the present invention, is obtained by the use of a specific loom, already known and commonly used for the manufacture of internally clothed sports stockings, said deleting sponge comprising essentially a braid. tubular and properly distended 1 (Figs. 1 and 2), made of cotton, polyamide, polyester, polypropylene or equivalent yarn, which is interlaced at the same time as interlaced 2, but made of metal threads, loosely applied to form on one side of that basic tubular braid 1, a plurality of loose loops 3 (Figs. 3 and 4), thus composing a shaggy surface.

The product thus obtained, that is to say, the tubular basic formwork 1, with one side provided with the loose interlacing and metallic threads 2, forming the aforementioned fluffy face, is then disposed with outwardly fluffed said face, and laterally flat on itself. (Fig. 1), which condition can then be cut transversely into distinct segments, naturally having extensions corresponding to the intended destinations therefor.

Thus, for example, it is desired to obtain a cleaning sponge in the form of a small cushion, or that of a glove also rectangular or any desired configuration (Fig. 5), and obviously starting from the tubular segment with the corresponding extension, laterally flattened on it. itself, with the outer faces bearing the metallic wool described above, it is sufficient only to weld it transversely to one or both ends, or to close it in any other equivalent manner, with the purely and simply obtaining the cleaning sponge in the intended mode.

In any of its presentation forms, that is, whatever the intended settings and intended purpose, the cleaning sponge, the main object of the present invention, is formed by a tubular basic braid 1 made of common cotton, polyamide, polyester, polypropylene, or similar yarns. but laterally flattened on itself, with the outer face entirely on a fuzzy surface, made by incorporating a loose interweaving of thin metallic wires (2).

Claims (3)

1. "CLEANING SPONGE", characterized in that whatever its configuration and intended purpose is formed of a basic tubular braid (1) made of common cotton, polyamide, polyester, polypropylene yarn or the like, but laterally flattened on itself, and with the external face entirely on a shaggy surface, they are made by incorporating a loose interweaving of thin metal wires (2). 2. "CLEANING SPONGE PROCESS", characterized in that the sponge delineation, as claimed in 1, is obtained with the use of a specific loom for the manufacture of sportswear, internally clothed, and from a basic and properly distended tubular braid ( 1) made of cotton, polyamide, polyester, polypropylene or the like, in which a braid is simultaneously interleaved (2), but with thin metal threads applied loosely so as to form on one side of that tubular basic braid ( 1), a plurality of loose loops (3), thus composing a shaggy surface, said tubular basic braid (1), with the loose interweaving of metallic wires (2), being arranged with the shaggy face facing outwards, as well as laterally flattened on itself. same condition, in which it can then be cut transversely into distinct segments, tendonually extensions corresponding to the d intended for them, and with one or both transverse ends closed by welding or equivalent.
