Die Erfindung betrifft eine Bürste nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1, welche durch Gummisauger 4 auf dem Wannenboden befestigt werden kann. Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, Menschen welche sich aus Alters- bzw. Krankheitsgründen nicht bücken können die Möglichkeit zu geben, die Füße täglich zu reinigen was natürlich nicht ausschließt, dass die Fußbürste auch von gesunden Menschen von Vorteil bei der täglichen Pflege ihrer Füße ist. Ferner wird durch tägliches Bürsten der Füße eine starke Hornhautbildung verhindert und die Füße werden gleichzeitig einer Massage unterzogen.The invention relates to a brush according to the preamble of claim 1, which can be attached to the bottom of the tub using rubber suction cups 4. The object of the invention is to give people who cannot bend down due to age or illness the opportunity to clean their feet daily, which of course does not exclude the fact that the foot brush is also of benefit to healthy people in the daily care of their feet. Furthermore, brushing the feet daily prevents the formation of severe calluses and the feet are massaged at the same time.
Gemäß der Erfindung ist die Fußbürste aus zwei Seitenplatten 1 und einer Fußplatte 2 gefertigt, welche über eine Steckverbindung 8 fest miteinander zu einer U-förmigen Einheit verschweißt sind.According to the invention, the foot brush is made of two side plates 1 and a foot plate 2, which are firmly welded together to form a U-shaped unit via a plug connection 8.
Wie der Figur 1 entnommen werden kann, ist die Bürste U-förmig ausgelegt und verfügt auf der Fußplatte 2 und auf den Seitenplatten 1 über mehrere Reihen von Borstenbündel 5 + 6.As can be seen from Figure 1, the brush is U-shaped and has several rows of bristle bundles 5 + 6 on the base plate 2 and on the side plates 1.
Als besonderer Vorteil stellt sich die einfache Handhabung der Fußbürste heraus. Diese wird auf dem Wannenboden mittels vier an den unten liegenden Trägerleisten 3 der beiden Seitenteile 1 angebrachten Gummisauger 4 befestigt.A particular advantage is the easy handling of the foot brush. This is attached to the bottom of the tub using four rubber suction cups 4 attached to the lower support strips 3 of the two side parts 1.
Der Fuß wird in die feststehende Fußbürste eingeführt und mit entsprechenden Vor- und Rückwärtsbewegungen des Fußes, verbunden mit leichtem Druck des Fußes auf die Borstenbündel 5 der Fußplatte 2 und gleichzeitigen Druck des Fußes abwechselnd seitlich auf die Borstenbündel 6 der Seitenplatten 1 der Bürste, gereinigt und gleichzeitig massiert.The foot is inserted into the fixed foot brush and cleaned and massaged at the same time with appropriate forward and backward movements of the foot, combined with light pressure of the foot on the bristle bundles 5 of the foot plate 2 and simultaneous pressure of the foot alternately laterally on the bristle bundles 6 of the side plates 1 of the brush.
Als besonders vorteilhaft stellt sich heraus, wie der Figur 2 entnommen werden kann, dass die ersten beiden Reihen Borstenbündel 7 der Fußplatte 2 ca. 1,2 mm länger gehalten sind als die Borstenbündel 5 der Fußplatte 2.As can be seen from Figure 2, it turns out to be particularly advantageous that the first two rows of bristle bundles 7 of the base plate 2 are approximately 1.2 mm longer than the bristle bundles 5 of the base plate 2.
Dadurch ist es möglich, durch Aufsetzen der Zehenkehlen auf die Borstenbündel 7, die Zehenkehlen durch seitliche Bewegungen des Fußes zu reinigen.This makes it possible to clean the backs of the toes by placing the backs of the toes on the bristle bundles 7 and by moving the foot sideways.
Ein Verrutschen der Bürste ist durch das leichte Befestigen am Wannenboden durch die vier, an den Ecken unter der Fußplatte 2 angebrachten Gummisauger 4 nicht möglich.Slipping of the brush is impossible because it is easily attached to the tub floor by the four rubber suction cups 4 attached to the corners under the foot plate 2.
Ein weiterer Vorteil ergibt sich daraus, dass die Bürste nach allen Seiten hin offen gehalten ist, und somit nach der Benutzung eine Reinigung leicht durchzuführen ist.A further advantage is that the brush is open on all sides, making it easy to clean after use.
Noch von Vorteil ist, dass die Bürste nach Gebrauch leicht vom Wannenboden entfernt und anderweitig aufbewahrt werden kann zum Beispiel an der Kachelwand einer Dusche. Außerdem beeinträchtigt die Größe, Länge: 110 mm - Breite: 185 mm, der Fußbürste das Platzangebot in einer Dusche nur in geringem Maße.Another advantage is that the brush can be easily removed from the tub floor after use and stored elsewhere, for example on the tiled wall of a shower. In addition, the size of the foot brush (length: 110 mm - width: 185 mm) only affects the space available in a shower to a minimal extent.
Weitere Einzelheiten, Merkmale und Vorteile der vorliegenden Erfindung ergeben sich aus der Nachfolgenden Beschreibung eines besonderen Ausführungsbeispiels unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnung.Further details, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following description of a particular embodiment with reference to the drawing.
Es zeigt:It shows:
Figur 1 eine erfindungsgemäße Fußbürste von vorneFigure 1 a foot brush according to the invention from the front
Figur 2 einen Schnitt durch die FußbürsteFigure 2 a section through the foot brush
Figur 3 eine erfindungsgemäße Fußbürste von hintenFigure 3 a foot brush according to the invention from behind
Wie den Figuren 1+2 entnommen werden kann, wurde bei der Konstruktion der Fußbürste berücksichtigt, alle Ecken und Kanten des gesamten Bürstenkörpers so abzurunden, so dass keine Verletzungsgefahr für den Benutzer besteht.As can be seen from Figures 1+2, when designing the foot brush, consideration was given to rounding off all corners and edges of the entire brush body so that there is no risk of injury to the user.
Als sehr vorteilhaft stellt sich heraus, dass sich beim Aufsetzen des Fußes auf die Borstenbünde 5 der Bodenplatte 2 die Fußbürste insgesamt, bis zur Unterkante der Seitenplatten 1 auf den Wannenboden absenkt.It turns out to be very advantageous that when the foot is placed on the bristle collars 5 of the base plate 2, the foot brush as a whole is lowered to the bottom of the tub as far as the lower edge of the side plates 1.
Dadurch erhält die Fußbürste in Verbindung mit den Gummisaugern 4 optimalen Halt auf dem Wannenboden und ein Wegrutschen oder ein Bruch der Fußbürste ist somit unmöglich.This gives the foot brush, in conjunction with the rubber suction cups 4, an optimal hold on the tub floor and makes it impossible for the foot brush to slip or break.
Ferner ist durch die dreiteilige Konstruktion des Bürstenkörpers, bestehend aus Fußplatte 1 und Seitenplatten 2, eine gewerblich kostengünstige Herstellung aus Kunststoff im Spritzgussverfahren möglich.Furthermore, the three-part construction of the brush body, consisting of base plate 1 and side plates 2, enables commercially cost-effective production from plastic using the injection molding process.
Technisch ergeben sich bei der Herstellung der Bürstenkörper 1+2 und bei der Bestückung mit Borstenbündeln 5,6 + 7 keine Probleme.Technically, there are no problems in the manufacture of brush bodies 1+2 and in the fitting of bristle bundles 5,6 + 7.
