Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to an improved structure of a
bathing brush and more particularly, to a bathing brush of simple
assembly and greatly reduced cost.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] As shown in FIG. 1, a prior art bathing brush comprises a
elastic net tube 10a, a hold part 20a, and a constricting part 30a.
The elastic net tube 10a has predetermined length and diameter. The
elastic net tube 10a is pushed to let its peripheral edge form
continually folded undulations along the axis thereof.
[0003] The hold part 20a is disposed outside the elastic net tube
10a. A first fixing portion 21a, a second fixing portion 22a, and
at least a third fixing portion 23a between the first and second
fixing portions 21a and 22a are disposed on the hold part 20a. The
three fixing portions 21a, 22a, and 23a are spaced at a
predetermined distance and roughly arranged along a straight line,
which extends roughly parallel to the axis of the elastic net tube
10a.
[0004] The constricting part 30a has predetermined length and
flexibility. The constricting part 30a has a first joining portion
31a, a second joining portion 32a, a pressing portion 34a between
the first and second joining portions 31a and 32a, and a third
joining portion 33a corresponding to the third fixing portion 23a.
The three joining portions 31a, 32a, and 33a are spaced at a
predetermined distance.
[0005] The first joining portion 31a is used to fix part material
of one end of the elastic net tube 10a on the first fixing portion
21a. The second joining portion 32a is used to fix part material of
the other end of the elastic net tube 10a on the second fixing
portion 22a. The pressing part 34a is used to press the middle
portion of the elastic net tube 10a on the portion of the hold part
20a between the first and second fixing portions 21a and 22a. The
third joining portion 33a is used to fix the pressing portion 34a
on the corresponding third fixing portion 23a.
[0006] When the above bathing brush is assembled, the elastic net
tube 10a needs to be first sleeved on two parallel rods (not
shown), the constricting part 30a then passes through the first,
second, and third fixing portions 21a, 22a, and 23a of the hold
part 20a, and the pressing portion 34a is used to press the middle
portion of the elastic net tube 10a on the hold part 20a, thereby
fixing the elastic net tube 10a on the hold part 20a. However,
passing and twisting of the constricting part 30a is very difficult
in practical embodiment, resulting in labor-consuming and
time-consuming assembly and thus substantial increase of the
production cost.
[0007] Accordingly, the above bathing brush has inconvenience and
drawbacks in production. The present invention aims to resolve the
problems in the prior art.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0008] The primary object of the present invention is to provide an
improved structure of a bathing brush, wherein a connection belt is
used to constrict and fix a bathing ball thereof on a disk body.
The passing and twisting of the connection belt through fixing
holes of the disk body is very simple. Moreover, after the bathing
ball is fixed on the disk body, it is only necessary to use a
locking device to connect the disk body on a hold part. The
assembly is simple, laborsaving, and timesaving, hence greatly
reducing the production cost and thus effectively enhancing
competitive capability in the market.
[0009] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides
an improved structure of a bathing brush, which comprises a bathing
ball, a disk body, a hold part, and a locking device. The disk body
has a plurality of fixing holes thereon. A connection belt is used
to wind around the bathing ball. The connection belt also passes
through the fixing holes of the disk body. Two ends of the
connection belt are tied together. The connection belt is used to
constrict and fix the bathing ball on the disk body. The hold part
has a connection portion. The locking device is disposed between
the disk body and the connection portion to lock the disk body on
the connection portion of the hold part. A bathing brush is thus
formed.
[0010] The various objects and advantages of the present invention
will be more readily understood from the following detailed
description when read in conjunction with the appended drawings, in
which:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0019] As shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, the present invention provides an
improved structure of a bathing brush, which comprises a bathing
ball 10, a disk body 20, and a hold part 30. The bathing ball 10 is
made of elastic net tube. The bathing ball is pushed to let its
peripheral edge form continually folded undulations along the axis
thereof. The bathing ball 10 is not necessarily made of elastic net
tube, and can be made of net of other shapes. The bathing ball 10
can be constricted by a connection belt 11 and thus fixed on the
disk body 20. Of course, the count of the bathing ball 10 can
increase according to necessity, and various kinds of colors can be
adopted to enhance delicacy.
[0020] The disk body 20 is a flat body of elliptic or other shapes.
The disk body 20 has a plurality of through holes 21 thereon. The
through holes 21 overspread the disk body 20 to facilitate
discharge of water. The disk body 20 also has a plurality of fixing
holes 22 and 23. The bore diameter of the fixing holes 22 and 23 is
larger than that of the through holes 21. In this embodiment, there
are totally six fixing holes 22 and 23, wherein the two first
fixing holes 22 are disposed near the center of the disk body 20,
and the other four second fixing holes 23 are disposed near the
edge of the disk body 20. The four second fixing holes 23 are
equiangularly disposed at 90 degrees. The edge of the disk body 20
forms a slightly projective first annular locking portion 24 to be
locked on the hold part 30.
[0021] The connection belt 11 can be used to pass through the midst
of the bathing ball 10. Two ends of the connection belt 11 passes
through the two first fixing holes 22 in the midst of the disk body
20. The two ends of the connection belt 11 are then tied together,
thus forming a single-line shaped connection belt to constrict and
fix the bathing ball 10 on the disk body 20, as shown in FIGS. 4
and 5.
[0022] Please refer to FIG. 6. In addition to using the connection
belt 11 to pass through the two first fixing holes 22 in the midst
of the disk body 20 and thus fix the bathing ball 10, the present
invention can also use the connection belt 11 to pass through the
four second fixing holes 23 near the edge of the disk body 20 and
thus fix the bathing ball 10. Through providing different ways of
passing and twisting the connection belt 11 to fix the bathing ball
10, the bathing ball 10 can form different shapes. In this
embodiment, the connection belt 11 forms a crossed shape when
viewed from behind the disk body 20.
[0023] The hold part 30 is a rod shape. Of course, the shape, size,
and, length of the hold part 30 can vary according to necessity, as
shown in FIG. 7. The only requirement is that it can be
conveniently held by a user. The hold part 30 has a connection
portion 31 of a larger area corresponding to the disk body 20. The
connection portion 31 is a hollow shell body open at the front side
face thereof. The inner edge of the connection portion 31 forms a
slightly projective second annular locking portion 32. The second
locking portion 32 is locked with the first locking portion 24 to
form a locking device, which lets the disk body 20 be locked on the
connection portion 31 of the hold part 30. Thereby, the bathing
ball 10, the disk body 20, and the hold part 30 can be joined
together. An improved structure of a bathing brush of the present
invention is thus formed.
[0024] The present invention uses the connection belt 11 to
constrict and fix the bathing ball 10 on the disk body 20. The
passing and twisting of the connection belt 11 through the fixing
holes 22 or 23 of the disk body 20 is very simple. Moreover, after
the bathing ball 10 is fixed on the disk body 20, it is only
necessary to use the locking device formed of the first locking
portion 24 and the second locking portion 32 for connecting the
disk body 20 on the hold part 30. The assembly of the present
invention is simple, laborsaving, and timesaving, hence greatly
reducing the production cost and effectively enhancing competitive
capability in the market.
[0025] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 8, the fixing holes 22 and 23
of the disk body 20 can also be connected with perforations 221 and
231, respectively. The perforations 221 and 231 can be used to mesh
the connection belt 11 passing through the fixing holes 22 and 23
to prevent the connection belt 11 from loosening. Therefore, the
connection belt 11 will more firmly constrict and fix the bathing
ball 10 on the disk body 20.
[0026] Although the present invention has been described with
reference to the preferred embodiments thereof, it will be
understood that the invention is not limited to the details
thereof. Various substitutions and modifications have been
suggested in the foregoing description, and others will occur to
those of ordinary skill in the art. Therefore, all such
substitutions and modifications are intended to be embraced within
the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
