Description

 The present invention aims to create a portable cleaning device for sports shoes using dirty surfaces such as lawns, artificial turf, reception areas, etc. in sports such as Football, Rugby, Athletics, etc.

 The device also comprises a control of a flow between the inlet end arranged to connect to a water bottle containing soapy water for the transmission of liquid from the water bottle to the outlet end which is the submersible / submerged water pump.

 The cleaning of sports shoes is often recommended and carried out by different separate elements such as a cloth, a brush, a toothbrush and be near a water source for a total wash.

 However, this system, somewhat rudimentary, requires time and attention that can be painful for an athlete having made a great physical effort beforehand.

 In this regard, the invention of the portable athletic shoe cleaning device has a primary role of providing increased control of the flow of water through the portable cleaning device. The second role is the supply of the submersible water pump from which flows the water flow using a battery and a DC motor. Thus, it overcomes this disadvantage because it allows a quick, efficient and optimal cleaning in all places and at all times.

 For this purpose, the invention firstly relates to a device having a first feature, a portable cleaning device with a bottle of soapy water operated by an on / off mode (99). Said on / off mode (99), which makes it possible to increase the force exerted by the user, allows the switching of the electrical switch. Thus, when the user presses the operating mode, the electrical switch connected to the battery and the DC motor, supplies both the battery with power cables and the shoe brush of said cleaning device. portable.

 According to specific embodiments:

- The on / off mode is the main element of proper operation of the portable cleaning device. In this configuration, it is used directly on / off mode which regulates the circulation of the flow in the device to interrupt it when necessary. This eliminates the need for a separate flow control system.

 According to a variant, said cleaning means comprising an integrated spatula at the end of said nozzle. Said spatula for scraping sports shoes.

 The multi-head portable cleaning device rotates 360 ° horizontally and vertically.

 A soapy water bottle is integrated into the portable cleaning device. Once the bottle is empty, it is interchangeable.

 a submersible / submerged water pump (77) is the motor of the cleaning device as it allows the operation and transmission of liquid from the water bottle to the sports shoe brush.

 The multi-head further comprises a shoe brush (16) and a spatula (19) for fast, efficient and optimal cleaning.

 The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention:

Figure 1 shows in section, the device of the invention.
