The invention relates to a bottle cleaning brush, whose two or more resiliently spreading wire rods with their equilateral Ends are combined to a handle, in the area of their free ends opposite the handle - mainly exchangeable - individual brushes wear and by means of one with recesses for guiding the separated wire rods can be brought together on this longitudinally axially displaceable disc.

A known bottle cleaning brush has half-parts opposite a single rigid brush a gripper that can be adjusted by means of a guide part wound from wire without a backstop with which a cork that has fallen into a bottle can be grasped and taken out.

Another known bottle brush can have several individual brushes because of their wire rods walk freely through a central hole in the retaining plate, not compulsorily by hand be guided. The individual brushes that complement each other to form a roller brush can therefore never be used at the same time attack effectively on all sides.

The subject of the invention is essentially characterized in that the wire rods at their, are stranded near the free end area with cranks, so that each one recess can slide against resistance over the cranks for each guide disc having a Dralitsiab, but kept under tension on this in the axial direction and thus prevented from sliding back by itself is secured and that at the free ends of one or more or all of the wire rods brushes, wipers od. The like. Are replaceably attachable. By inevitably adjusting, expanding or bundling the With individual brushes, simultaneous brush attack on all sides is possible. The springy wire rods are inevitably taxable and secured against self-displacement by the central bar Mastered guide disc.

The in F i g. 1, 3 and 13, summarized in a handle 1, resiliently spreading apart Wire rods 3 are provided with offsets 10 at their area near the free end, so that the guide disk 5, which has a recess 8 for each wire rod 3, when moving can slide against resistance over the crankings 10, but kept under tension on this and is thus secured against sliding back by itself.

At the free ends of one or more or all of the wire rods 3 are brushes 11, for example Bottle cleaning brush

also wiper 12, scraper or the like, primarily replaceable attachable. In order to prevent the guide disk 5 from sliding over the free ends of the wire rods 3, one, several or all of the wire rods 3 in the zone area x-x (FIG. B. kinks 15, indentations 16, inserted in grooves 17 open spring washers 18 or press-on 19 formed or provided with it. For stabilization, a longitudinally axially displaceable slider 5 'provided with differently shaped recesses 8' is arranged centrally symmetrically between the handle 1 and the guide disk S, which mutually supports the wire rods 3 in the sliding area between the handle 1 and the guide disk S, contrary to the function brought about by them apart in a supporting manner.

So that the guide disc 5 - can be actuated - after it has been inserted into a bottle, a with the slider 5 'firmly connected, in the handle 1 loosely mounted center rod 13 installed, whose outer, the handle 1 associated end to a, at the same time serving as a hanging loop operating handle is bent.

In order to set the bottle brush in rotation, the handle 1 can be detachably connected to a motor-driven coupling element 31 rotatably mounted in a handle 30 for motorized drive by connecting the suspension hook 2 ', 20 or the suspension eyelet 2, 2 "in a designated Slot 32 can be inserted, with an open spring ring 33 loosely arranged in the coupling element 31 securing the bottle brush against independent detachment (FIG. 14).

In the area of their free ends, the wire rods 3 can also act as direct carriers 21 for bristles and thus itself to brushes 11, but also to carriers for various different types of cleaning body, eg. B.

Wiper 12, scraper od. Like., As well as for detecting scouring sponges of all kinds or hook-like Brackets 4 be formed.

In the F i g. 2, 5 through 12 and 15 through 19 are applicable Connecting elements, for example coupling parts 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27 and 35, are shown.

The coupling part 22 is an independent helical spring or a helical spring that is integral with the axis of a carrier 21 the hole diameter in the relaxed state is slightly smaller than the thickness of a wire rod 3 is. The hole can be continuously cylindrical, on one or both sides conically widened outwards get lost.

The coupling part 23, a rod-shaped or tubular body made of preferably elastic material, has a continuous or interrupted, cylindrical or cylindrical and both sides in a conical Bore overlying bore, with the respective cone tapering towards the inside of the coupling part runs.

The U-shaped coupling part 24 of preferably elastic material for connecting a wire rod 3 with a carrier 21 has an insertion groove 27 interrupted over the entire length, slot-like recess in its cross-section.

Individual or all of the wire rods 3 designed as hook-like clamps 4 can be provided with supports 21 be connected by first inserting the relevant wire rod 3 broadly in the direction of the arrow Coupling part 24 is inserted and then the respective carrier 21 is inserted longitudinally axially next to it will.

The U-shaped elastic coupling part 25 allows the parts to be connected to each other be able to snap into it broadly.

The self-contained coupling part 26 made of spring wire consists of a carrier 21 and wire rod 3 longitudinally axially slidable helically wound, in its cross section oval or flattened helix. Those that can be pressed against each other in the case of the individual coupling parts Surface sections 28 and 29 expediently run conically or parallel to one another or wedge-shaped.

Another simple, quick, easily detachable and yet secure connection between a brush 11 and a wire rod 3 is supported by a helical spring 22 'firmly connected to the brush 11 on one side. reached, which is of larger hole diameter than that of the wire rod 3 and when pushed over is displaced in the longitudinal direction from the longitudinal axis by a counter crank 34 on the wire rod 3.

The pocket-like coupling part 35, which is preferably made of plastic material, is for connection a shaped to a bracket 4 wire rod 3 with a carrier 21 or with a for the Storage of the clamp 4 and the section of a carrier 21, with a slot recess 36 and a hole 37 is provided.

The distance between the broadly touching surfaces 38 of the clamp 4 is equal to the thickness of the wire rod 3.

The coupling part 35 is used to connect the carrier 21 with the wire rod 3 or on this bent bracket 4 in the direction of the arrow and with wedge tightening through the mutually wedge-shaped Contact surfaces 28 and 29 pushed on. It can be the support part 2Γ compared to the Coupling part 35 loose, but also firmly connected, so that in the rest of the possible further, i.e. an additional second connection outside the coupling part 35 by means of the coupling part 22 ' to one of the counter crank 34 corresponding crank 34 'be designed.

The bottle cleaning brush is whole or

ίο partly preferably made of steel, non-ferrous Metals or plastic.

Claims (4)

Patent claims: 1. Bottle cleaning brush with several resilient ones grasped on one side in one handle Wire rods whose free ends, each carrying a brush, spread apart and when moving a perforated guide disc surrounding the rods can be brought together, thereby indicates that the wire rods (3) at their, near the free end lying area are provided with crankings (10) so that each recess (8) for a wire rod (3) having guide washer (5) can slide against resistance over the crankings (10) but this is kept under tension in the axial direction and thus prevents it from sliding back by itself is secured and that at the free ends of one or more or all of the wire rods (3) Brushes (11), wipers, scrapers or the like can be attached in an exchangeable manner. 2.

Bottle brush according to claims 1 and 2, characterized in that the central rod (13) at its end associated with the handle (1) is designed as an operating handle and thus at the same time as a hanger (14) while on at its lower end the slider (5 ') which can be moved with it is fixedly arranged. 4. Bottle brush according to claims 1 to 3, characterized in that the handle (1) with a motor-driven coupling element rotatably mounted in a handle (30) (31) is releasably connected by the hanging hook (2 ', 20) or the hanging loop (2.2 ") can be inserted into a slot (32) provided for this purpose, with one in the coupling element (31) loosely arranged, open spring washer (33) prevents the bottle brush from becoming detached.
