Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for cleaning brushes of various types, such as those habitually used by hairdressers or for brushing animals' coats.
  • Background Art The removal of hair and/or animal fur from brushes is a long job, requiring patience.
  • US patent US 5,701 ,626 (Zara) teaches a device for cleaning hairdressers' brushes.
  • the device comprises three cleaning elements, rotating at a same speed and in a same direction, and distributed circumferentially about a space for receiving a brush to be cleaned.
  • Both the rotating cleaning elements and the brush being cleaned are immersed in a sterilising liquid contained in a recipient which is part of the device.
  • the counter-brushes exhibit an arrangement in which the bristles are arranged in tight bundles all of a same height, the arrangement of the bristles being such as to define an external cylindrical surface which is almost totally filled with bristles.
  • the device requires use of external combs, one for each counter- brush, in order to facilitate the removal of hairs from the counter-brushes.
  • WO2005/046325 also exhibits this drawback, due to the fact that during the mechanical action of the rotation of the counter-brushes on the brush to be cleaned, the brush to be cleaned tends to rise, as it is pushed upwards.
  • the invention has the aim of obviating the drawbacks in the prior art and, in particular, the above-indicated drawbacks.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view from above of the device, with the cover thereof removed;
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view from above of the device, with the cover and the counter-brushes removed;
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a counter-brush
  • FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the device with the cover present. Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention
  • number 1 denotes, in its entirety, a device for cleaning brushes, such as those commonly used by hairdressers, or for brushing animals' coats or for other types of brushes.
  • the device comprises a container 12 and at least three rotary counter- brushes 2a, 2b, 2c, which are substantially parallel to one another, and which are inserted in the container 12.
  • the rotary counter-brushes 2a, 2b, 2c are circumferentially distributed such as to define a space 3 for receiving a brush to be cleaned 4, and are removable mounted on rotating shafts 11a, 11b, 11c.
  • the counter-brushes are equidistant from one another.
  • At least one of the rotary counter-brushes 2a, 2b, 2c rotates in an opposite direction to the others 2b, 2c.
  • the movement of the counter-brushes can be commanded by an electric motor and a gear-type transmission, or a cogged belt or another system.
  • the absolute angular velocities of the counter-brushes are preferably about the same as one another.
  • a support 55 for supporting the brush to be cleaned can be exhibiting on the bottom of the container 12.
  • the support 55 is made of a low-friction coefficient material, for example Teflon.
  • Teflon Alternatively it would be possible to provide a support which blocks the rotation of the brushes.
  • At least one of the counter-brushes 2a is preferably mounted on a tilting shaft
  • the tilting shaft 11a is mounted on an oscillating arm which can distance the shaft 11 a from the other two shafts
  • This movement can also be realised automatically.
  • the device can be adapted to the diameter of the brush to be cleaned, as it exerts an almost constant pressure thereon.
  • the counter-brushes 2a, 2b, 2c can exhibit, along the whole length of the bodies thereof, an external longitudinal groove 41.
  • the groove 41 can be used as a guide for knives or similar tools, for facilitating the periodic operations of maintenance and cleaning of the counter-brushes.
  • each counter-brush 2a, 2b, 2c is provided with bristles 9, arranged in adjacent groups, which develop in lines of bristles which wind spirally about the body of the counter-brush.
  • the spiral shape of the bristles also means that the hairs or animal fur can be optimally retained; the hairs or fur are arranged along the body of the counter-brushes because between the various spiral lines of bristles free spaces are afforded.
  • the lines of bristles possibly being of different heights, with free spaces left between the groups or pairs of lines.
  • An alternative embodiment of the counter-brushes includes a plurality of bundles of bristles which develop such as to define lines of bristles which are vertically arranged on the body of the counter-brush, leaving between a vertical line of bristles and another sufficient spaces to enable hair or fur to be wound up thereon along the body of the counter-brush.
  • a further variant includes diagonal lines of bristles, or even horizontal lines of bristles. Also in the case of vertical, diagonal or horizontal lines it is possible to have two close lines of bristles which follow a same direction, with the close-by lines possibly having different heights, with free spaces left between the groups or pairs of lines.
  • Bristles having a minimal length can be inserted in the spaces on the body of the counter-brushes comprised between the lines of bristles.
  • the bristles 9 can be made of polyamide, can be metallic filaments, or synthetic or natural filaments of animal or vegetable or other origin.
  • the free spaces between the lines formed by the bundles of bristles are such as to enable hairs or fur to be wound along the body of the counter-brush.
  • the bristles are about 2 mm long and have a diameter of about 0.2 mm.
  • the interaxis step between the bristles can be of between 5 and 200 mm, preferably about 23-24 mm.
  • the lines of bristle bundles are spirally-arranged, or in a case in which they are vertically-arranged or in any case in which they have an orientation with respect to the vertical, in order to facilitate cleaning of the device the lines of bristles can be extractable from the body of the counter- brush, for example mounted on strips insertable in appropriately-conformed seatings afforded on the body of the counter-brush.
  • the bristlecleaning device can comprise means for aspirating the deposits removed from the counter-brushes, and accumulating the deposits in the container 12, thus reducing the cleaning operations of the machine itself.
  • an aspiration hole 14 can be afforded on the bottom of the container 12, the hole 14 being connected by an aspirating tube to a collection tank 16 positioned below the container 12.
  • the illustrated device further comprises means 13 for creating a jet of water steam which exits from a nozzle 33 and strikes the brush 4 to be cleaned and means 114 for generating a jet of hot air which exits from at least a hole 44 and strikes the brush 4 to be cleaned and the counter-brushes (2a, 2b, 2c) in order to dry the steam.
  • the steam can also exit from several nozzles arranged in different positions internally of the container.
  • the means for generating steam 13 and hot air 14 can also be positioned below the container 12.
  • the special arrangement of the bristles of the counter-brush facilitates the winding of the hair and fur along the body of the counter-brushes.
  • the means for aspirating, for generating the steam and the hot air can be of conventional type.
  • the regulation of the means for aspirating, the means for generating steam and the means for generating hot air can be effected by known device.
  • the container 12 is preferably closed by a cover 21 mounted on fastening pins 51 , 52, 53, which exhibits a hole 27 for insertion of the part to be cleaned of a brush 4, while the handle of the brush can remain outside.
  • the device further comprises an annular chamber 60 provided with a plurality of openings 61 for inserting already-cleaned brushes.
  • Ultraviolet lamps can be inserted in the annular chamber to keep the brushes in optimal hygienic conditions.
  • the device 1 as it is described herein can be mounted on wheels 26 to facilitate movement thereof.
