Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a disposable toilet scraper and a method for its manufacture;
  • the purpose of this scraper is to allow the toilet to be kept clean with maximum hygiene.
  • the scratch, once used, can be thrown into the toilet itself because it dissolves in the water thanks to its technical characteristics.
  • these brushes also have the disadvantage that a part of them continues to be non-disposable, and is used repeatedly by different users: this, especially in the case of public toilets, can continue to present hygiene and health problems. rejection by users.
  • the cost of these brushes due to the existence of the non-disposable handle, is still relatively high.
  • the scraper or brush object of the invention has been designed to solve all this problem to full satisfaction, constituting an element or device of a single use, that is to say, that it is disposable, being constituted of a material of vegetable origin or cellulose, and with the geometric characteristics, of optimum weight and density so that it effectively fulfills the cleaning function of the toilet itself and is at the same time cost significantly lower than the brushes known so far, both in relation to the material and in Its manufacturing process.
  • the scraper in question is constituted by a body based on virgin and recovery paper pulps, which once treated confer the optimum weight and density characteristics, and offers a slender shape that is achieved based on a die-cutting process or molded
  • the disposable toilet scraper according to the invention comprises a hand grip part and a cleaning part, both of water soluble material; It is characterized by being an elongated laminar body of a single piece, with a rigid structure, which has two distinct zones, one of greater length that constitutes the hand-grip part, and another of smaller length and greater width that constitutes the cleaning part, which comes into contact with the wall of the toilet.
  • the cleaning area has a width greater than the rest to expand the friction surface and increase its efficiency.
  • the laminar and elongated configuration provides a good rigidity to the body, but does not prevent it from easily falling apart as soon as it is thrown into the toilet, because the thickness to which water must access to impregnate all the material is much smaller than in known brushes.
  • the active part of greater width allows a comfortable, fast and efficient use.
  • the cost of the scraper is lower than the known brushes, both for the amount of material to be used and for the simplicity of the manufacturing process.
  • the scraper material is biodegradable, so that it does not constitute a source of contamination for the environment; preferably, the material is a fibrous material of vegetable or cellulose origin, for example paper or derivatives thereof, responding to the optimal absorption and disintegration conditions for its proper functioning.
  • recycled paper can be used to manufacture the scraper or brush, which makes the piece cheaper and also constitutes an advantage for the environment.
  • the present invention is intended to incorporate in the cleaning zone of the brush a substance that retards its dissolution in water with respect to the rest of the scraper. This prevents the cleaning zone from falling apart too quickly when it comes into contact with moisture and before cleaning can be completed.
  • the end of the body corresponding to the cleaning zone is crushed in the form of a shovel of decreasing thickness towards its leading edge.
  • the laminar body has sausages in the longitudinal direction, which give it rigidity in the longest area corresponding to the handle.
  • the sausages are crushed so that the end adopts the shape of a shovel of decreasing thickness towards the leading edge.
  • the laminar body is tubular, with the manual grip end open and the cleaning end crushed to constitute said blade shape.
  • the elongated laminar body may be constituted by several sheets joined together; These can be flat, wavy or a combination of both.
  • a manufacturing process for the brush with longitudinal reinforcement sausages consists of starting a strip of water-soluble biodegradable material, continuously drawn in a longitudinal forward movement. Throughout its movement, the strip passes between sets of molds and countermolds that form longitudinal sausages therein. Next, a product that retards its dissolution in the water is applied to the strip, deposited in short areas and regularly spaced from each other by longer lengths of strip devoid of said product. The strip then passes through a pressing station that acts regularly and intermittently, to crush only the impregnated areas. Finally, the strip is cut at the end of the crushed areas to get the brushes.

  • Figure 5 is a perspective view of a flat brush
  • Figure 6 is a cross-sectional view of a plurality of stacked brooms
  • Figure 7 is a schematic side elevation view showing the different phases of a brush manufacturing process
  • Figure 8 is a plan view of various sections of a strip along the process of manufacturing the brushes illustrated in Figure 7.
  • the scraper or brush of the invention is constituted by a fibrous sheet structure of vegetable or cellulose origin, sufficiently cohesive to give it resistance, of high air content and, therefore, porous, being manufactured with virgin and recovery paper pulps, which once treated confer the optimal weight and density characteristics.
  • the shape is elongated and in it two distinct zones are distinguished, a so-called handle or manual contact zone 1 and another called cleaning zone 2, so that the zone of manual contact is the destined one to be grabbed by the user, while the zone 2, through its edge 3, will be the one that performs the cleaning of the toilet; zone 2 is of greater width than the previous one, to extend the friction surface and increase its efficiency, since said zone 2 and specifically its edge 3, will be the one that contacts the wall of the toilet bowl to effect the cleaning.
  • the dimensions of the scraper can be 40mm maximum width in the cleaning zone 2 and 2mm thick.
  • the slender or elongated configuration is achieved with a die-cutting or molding process, while the resistance to its optimal operation is due to the rigid structure that will offer one or more sheets of either Wavy or flat shape.
  • the scraper thus constituted is intended to carry out the cleaning of the toilet, once it is used, without accumulating unhygienic and bacterial remains of the feces, since once the use of the scraper is finished it is thrown away in the toilet itself disappearing along with the spilled water.
  • the brush object of the invention consists in figures 3 to 6 of the drawings of a single sheet of general reference -101-, of biodegradable and water-soluble material, such as a thin cardboard, which It has an elongated section -102- in the form of a handle and a shorter section at one of its crushed ends in the shape of a shovel -103-, thick decreasing towards its leading edge -104-.
  • the elongated part constituting the scraper is formed by several sheets glued together by means of a water-soluble adhesive, based on starch or the like.
  • the handle -101- has longitudinal sausages -105- that reinforce it considerably, forcing incoming and outgoing complementary to each other, so that they facilitate the stacking of the brushes (figures 3 and 6). At one end of the brush, these sausages are crushed to form the blade -103-.
  • a brush -101a- (figure 4) has a tubular handle -102a, with a crushed end to form the shovel -103a- of decreasing thickness towards the edge -104a-.
  • the opposite end of the blade -103- is open to facilitate the entry of water and accelerate the dissolution of the brush once used.
  • Figure 5 shows a very simple version of the scraper or brush, formed by a flat strip -101b- with a handle -102b-, a crushed end -103b- and a leading edge -104b-.
  • the manual gripping area of the scraper according to the invention does not require transverse lines of breakage or weakening, since the laminar configuration thereof allows its rapid dissolution in the toilet water.
  • the crushed end -103, 103a, 103b- is impregnated or coated with a product -106- which delays a few seconds its dissolution in water, in relation to the time it takes to make the handle -102, 102a, 102b-.
  • the product -106- can impregnate or cover the blade-shaped end and a short section of the handle immediately to said end.
  • a product supplied by the company 3M can be cited under the name SCOTCHBAN.
  • the brush is very light but it is stiff enough to use it only once to clean a toilet bowl or other similar body, which is what the brush is thrown into the toilet itself so that it dissolves in the water. It is important to note that in order to avoid premature dissolution of the blade during its cleaning work, the product -106- has been incorporated into it, which delays said dissolution for a few seconds in relation to the time it takes for the handle -102- to do so.
  • the scraper or brush can be supplied in packages, perfectly stacked, from which it will be extracted for use.
  • this brush is very small and perfectly acceptable, much more considering that it can carry printed advertising motifs, recommendations for use, and any type of drawing or legend, thanks to the fact that its manufacture can be made from a strip of recycled paper or cardboard.
  • a material suitable for The brush can have a gram of about 160 g / m 2 .

Abstract

Le racloir est constitué d'un corps monobloc laminaire allongé en matière soluble dans l'eau et avantageusement biodégradable, présentant deux zones (1, 102; 2, 103) différenciées, une zone de prise manuelle (1, 102) plus longue, et une autre zone de nettoyage (2, 103) plus courte et plus large. On a incorporé dans la zone de nettoyage (2, 103) une substance (106) qui retarde la dissolution dans l'eau par rapport au reste du racloir. L'extrémité du corps dans la zone de nettoyage (2, 103) peut être aplatie en forme de pelle (104). Le corps laminaire peut présenter des nervures longitudinales (105) qui lui donne une certaine rigidité, ou bien il peut être tubulaire (102a). Le procédé consiste à faire passer en continu une bande entre des moules et des contre-moules pour former les nervures, à incorporer le produit retardant la dissolution dans des zones alternées de la bande, à aplatir les zones imprégnées et à couper la bande par la moitié de ces zones afin de séparer deux racloirs.
