Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a car wash tool for washing off dirt adhering to the body of an automobile.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as tools used for car washing,
A car wash brush is known in which a channel having an opening on the rear end side is formed inside a handle having a flocked portion on the tip side, and a large number of ejection holes communicating with this channel are provided on the flocked portion.

In the above car wash brush, a hose is connected to the rear end of the handle to feed water into the flow path, and the water is ejected from the ejection holes toward the body to scrape off dirt.

[0004]

However, according to the above-mentioned car wash brush, there is a problem that the user is constantly tired because his / her arm must always be moved to rub the body.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to reduce fatigue during car washing.

[0006]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, according to the present invention, a frame tube surrounding a cylindrical roll body having a flexible wiping member on its outer periphery and a hose connection portion for water supply are provided. A water wheel, in which an impeller rotates by water sent from the grip tube, is provided between the grip tube and the grip tube, the roll body is rotatably supported together with the impeller, and the ejection holes through which water discharged from the water wheel is ejected. Provided is a car wash tool in which a frame tube is formed.

Further, a container for sending the detergent contained therein into the grip pipe may be detachably attached to the grip pipe.

[0008]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the roll body 1
Is formed by attaching a flexible wiping member 3 made of sponge to the outer periphery of the cylindrical member 2. As the wiping member 3, a base cloth in which twisted yarns are planted may be used.

A frame tube 4 located around the roll body 1.
Is divided into an L-shaped connecting portion 5 and a U-shaped surrounding portion 6. The connecting portion 5 and the surrounding portion 6 are joined and separably connected by screwing the sleeve 7 over the respective outer peripheries, and communicate with each other inside. Surrounding part 6
A large number of ejection holes 8 that face the direction of the roll body 1 and a plurality of ejection holes 9 that face downward are formed in this.

A water wheel 10 is provided on one side of the roll body 1. Inside the casing 11 of this water turbine 10, the impeller 1
2 is rotatably supported, and the boss 13 of the impeller 12 is provided with an output shaft 14 protruding from the casing 11. A key 15 is formed at the tip of the output shaft 14. The frame pipe 4 is connected to one side of the casing 11, and the casing 11 and the connecting portion 5 communicate with each other inside.

Bearing holes 16 are provided at both ends of the cylindrical member 2.
a and 16b are formed, and a key groove 17 that can be engaged with the key 15 is formed in one bearing hole 16b. In the roll body 1, the support shaft 18 provided in the surrounding portion 6 of the frame tube 4 is inserted into the bearing hole 16a, the output shaft 14 is inserted into the bearing hole 16b, and the key 15 is inserted into the key groove 17.
Are supported so as to be rotatable with the impeller 12.

A grip tube 19 is connected to the other side of the casing 11. The grip tube 19 is divided into an L-shaped connection portion 20 and a rod-shaped grip portion 21. The connecting portion 20 and the surrounding portion 21 are joined and separably connected by screwing the sleeve 22 over the respective outer peripheries, and communicate with each other inside. Connecting part 2
Reference numeral 0 communicates with the inside of the casing 11, and the inner diameter surface thereof has a tapered portion 2 having a smaller diameter toward the casing 11.
3 are provided. A water supply hose connection portion 24 is formed at the base end of the grip portion 21.

In the car wash having the above structure, the hose connecting portion 24
When the hose H is connected to and the water is fed into the grip pipe 19, the water is accelerated by the tapered portion 23 and is fed into the casing 11 of the water turbine 10 to rotate the impeller 12.
The roll body 1 also rotates as the impeller 12 rotates. After that, the water in the casing 11 is discharged to the frame pipe 4,
It ejects from the ejection holes 8 and 9. The water jetted from the jet holes 8 moistens the wiping member 3 of the roll body 1.

Therefore, simply by pressing the rotating roll body 1 against the body of the automobile, the dirt adhering to the body is scraped off by the moistening wiping member 3 and washed away by the water ejected from the ejection holes 9 toward the body. .

As shown in the drawing, a connection port 26 is provided on the peripheral wall of the grip 21 so that the container 25 containing the detergent can be removably attached, and the container 25 is inserted into the grip 21 via the connection port 26. You may send in detergent. In this case, a container having elasticity is used as the container 25,
The detergent is pushed out by grasping the outer circumference.

The detergent sent to the frame pipe 4 is jetted together with water from the jet holes 8 and 9 to facilitate the removal of dirt from the body. When the detergent is not used, the container 25 is removed and the connection port 26 is closed with a cap.

Further, since the roll body 1 can be removed by separating the connecting portion 5 and the surrounding portion 6, when the wiping member 3 is significantly soiled or worn, it can be replaced with another one. it can.

Further, at the time of storage, since the connecting portion 20 and the surrounding portion 21 can be separated from each other, the total length can be shortened,
There is no bulk.

[0020]

As described above, according to the present invention, when water is fed into the grip tube, the roll body rotates together with the impeller of the water turbine, and the water is ejected from the ejection holes formed in the frame tube. Simply press against the body of the car to scrape off dirt on the body and wash it away.

Further, when a container for sending the detergent contained therein to the grip pipe is attached to the grip pipe, the detergent spouts from the spout hole together with water, and the dirt is further removed.
