Handle for a cleaning brush

The invention relates to a handle for a cleaning brush, in particular a handle with which a bath sponge of any size and shape can be picked up and with which a body can be massaged, wherein the bath sponge is picked up by the clamping jaws at the front end portion of the handle and the body is struck with the balls at the front end portion of the clamping jaws, so that the body can also be massaged while bathing.

In order to maintain physical cleanliness, one takes a bath to remove sweat and dirt from the body. However, the back and back of the legs are difficult for the hands to reach, so they are often neglected or not cleaned thoroughly. As a result, dirt accumulates on them, causing a bad smell from the body and affecting health. Therefore, a cleaning brush with a long handle is used to clean these areas thoroughly. However, the conventional cleaning brushes such as a hair brush (A), a cotton brush (C) and a foam brush (E) (as shown in Figure 1) have a rigid shape. Since the bristles (B) of the hair brush (A) are pointed, the skin may be injured. In addition, the bristles are easily detached, which may cause clogging of the water outlet, so that the hair brush is seldom used when bathing. The cotton (D) of the cotton brush (C) and the foam (F) of the foam brush (E) cannot injure the skin, but they will absorb dirt. Since the cotton (D) and the foam (F) cannot be removed for cleaning, the foam from the soap and the dirt from the body will accumulate on them or in the gap (G) between the cotton (D) or the foam (F) and the handle (C or E). Furthermore, the hair brush (A), the cotton brush (C) and the foam brush (E) each have a fixed size. Since they have a small contact area with the body, when brushing the back, the brush must be held alternately with the left and right hand in order to reach the entire surface of the back, which is very inconvenient.

For this reason, the inventor, considering the disadvantages of traditional solutions, based on many years of experience in designing, manufacturing and selling this product, after long studies, numerous

search and constant improvements, the present invention has been developed, whereby a bath sponge of any size and shape can be releasably held by clamping jaws at the front end of a handle of a cleaning brush.

The invention is based on the object of creating a handle for a cleaning brush which has two clamping jaws at the front end section, through which a bath sponge of any size and shape is held in order to allow a change in the contact surface with the body, so that &iacgr;&ogr; cleaning is optimized.

The invention is based on a further object of creating a handle for a cleaning brush, the clamping jaws of which each have a ball at the front end section, with which the body is lightly struck in order to simultaneously massage the body while bathing.

Another object of the invention is to provide a handle for a cleaning brush in which the bath sponge can be released from the clamping jaws for cleaning in order to prevent dirt from accumulating on the bath sponge or in the gap between the bath sponge and the clamping jaws.

In the following, the structure, features and functioning of the invention are explained in more detail with reference to the attached drawings. They show:

Figure 1 is a schematic representation of conventional cleaning brushes;

Figure 2 is a perspective view of the invention;

Figure 3 is a representation of the first embodiment of the invention;

Figure 4 is a representation of the second embodiment of the invention;

Figure 5 is a representation of the third embodiment of the invention.

As shown in Figure 2, the cleaning brush (10) according to the invention consists of a Y-shaped handle (11) which extends forwards and forms two clamping jaws (12) which each have a ball (13) at the front end and enclose a space (14) to accommodate a bath sponge (20, 30) (as shown in Figures 3 and 4), the size of which is not limited so that a larger bath sponge (30) can be accommodated in order to

to increase the contact area between the cleaning brush (10) and the body. The clamping jaws (12) can also grip a net ball (40) (as shown in Figure 5), so that a cleaning brush (10) of another shape is formed. Since the connection between the clamping jaws (12) of the cleaning brush (10) and the bath sponge (20, 30) or the net ball (40) is made by releasable gripping, the bath sponge (20, 30) and the net ball (40) can be detached from the clamping jaws (12) for cleaning in order to avoid the accumulation of dirt in the gap (15) between the bath sponge (20, 30) or the net ball (40) and the clamping jaws (12), so that the handle

β³ (11) and the clamping jaws (12) of the cleaning brush (10) can be kept clean, thus ensuring hygiene when bathing.

As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the clamping jaws (12) each have a ball (13) at the front end section, which can be used to gently hit the body in order to massage the body while bathing. Furthermore, the cleaning brush (10) can be turned into a simple massage device after the bath sponge (20, 30) has been removed using the handle (11), the clamping jaws (12) and the balls (13). The cleaning brush (10) therefore has a wide range of possible uses.

In summary, it can be said that the cleaning brush according to the invention achieves a change in shape by gripping, for example, a bath sponge or a net ball, and the body can be massaged by the balls on the front end section of the clamping jaws. Its progressiveness and novelty fully meet the requirements for a utility model. The applicant therefore sincerely requests that the utility model be granted for the present invention.
