Abstract
A cleaning brush includes a handle, and a head part secured to one end of the handle; the head part has many bristles fitted thereon, and includes several elastic sections spaced along it; thus, in using the cleaning brush to clean an object, the cleaning brush will be bent, and angularly displaced at the head part according to the shape of the object, and in turns, all portions of the object can be cleaned.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a cleaning brush, more particularly one, whose head part has several elastic sections spaced along it such that in using the cleaning brush to clean an object, the head part can be bent, and angularly displaced according to the shape of the object.
- 2. Brief Description of the Prior Art
- A wide variety of sources of pollution exist in our environment, which can produce much dirt and harmful substances every day. And, dust is probably the most common, which will dirty our houses, cars etc. easily. A pleasant and healthful environment can be maintained if pollution is effectively handled.
- Therefore, there are a wide variety of cleaning tools and equipments available for suiting people's needs. Among various cleaning tools, there are cleaning brushes, which are usually used for removing dirt and dust over the surfaces of objects, and which usually consist of a handle, a head secured to one end of the handle, and many bristles secured on the head.
- However, most conventional cleaning brushes are stiff at the joint between the handle and the head thereof therefore they can't be changed in position for cleaning particular portions of an object or place such as the corners. Therefore, there is room for improvement on such cleaning brushes.
- It is a main object of the present invention to provide a cleaning brush to overcome the above disadvantages.
- The cleaning brush of the present invention includes a handle, and a head part secured to one end of the handle. The head part has many bristles fitted thereon, and includes several elastic sections spaced along it; thus, in using the cleaning brush to clean an object, the cleaning brush will be bent, and angularly displaced at the head part according to the shape of the object, and in turns, corners of the object can be effectively cleaned with the bristles.
- The present invention will be better understood by referring to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the cleaning brush according to the present invention, -
FIG. 2 is a front view of the present cleaning brush, -
FIG. 3 is a view of the present cleaning brush in use (1), -
FIG. 4 is a view of the present cleaning brush in use (2), -
FIG. 5 is a view of the present cleaning brush in use (3), and -
FIG. 6 is a view of the present cleaning brush in use (4), - Referring to
FIGS. 1 and 2 , apreferred embodiment 1 of the cleaning brush of the present invention includes ahandle 11, and ahead part 12. Thehead part 12 is joined to one end of thehandle 11, and has severalelastic sections 15 spaced along it, and long andshort bristles elastic sections 15 of thehead part 12 has ashort side 151, and along side 152, which face the same directions as thelong bristles 13, and theshort bristles 14 respectively. Furthermore, theelastic sections 15 can be made of soft materials or resilient materials. - Referring to
FIGS. 3 and 4 , thecleaning brush 1 can be bent, and angularly displaced at thehead part 12 thereof because of theelastic sections 15 of thehead part 12. In using the cleaning brush to clean an object, e.g. a toilet, wheel, and window frame, thehead part 12 is bent and angularly displaced according to the shape of the object; thus, corners of the object can be effectively cleaned with thelong bristles 13 as well as theshort bristles 14. - Furthermore, because the
short sides 151 of theelastic sections 15 face the same direction as thelong bristles 13 while thelong sides 152 of theelastic sections 15 face the same direction as theshort bristles 12, thehead part 12 is allowed to bend for a larger angle towards the direction of theshort bristles 14 than towards the direction of thelong bristles 13. - From the above description, it can be easily understood that being equipped with the elastic sections, the present cleaning brush will perform better than those conventional ones that have stiff head parts.
