Brush assembly

Abstract

The invention relates to a brush assembly ( 1 ) comprising a retaining body ( 3 ), which is held by a retaining handle ( 2 ) and to which a cleaning element ( 4 ) can be fixed in a first functional position. The cleaning element ( 4 ) can be transferred from the first functional position into at least one second functional position.

1 . Brush system having a retaining body ( 3 ) held by a retaining handle ( 2 ), on which a cleaning element ( 4 ) can be fixed in a first functional position ( 6 ), wherein the cleaning element ( 4 ) can be transferred from the first functional position ( 6 ) into at least one second functional position.  
   
   
       2 . Brush system according to  claim 1 , wherein the cleaning element ( 4 ) is configured in tube or hose shape and surrounds the retaining body ( 3 ).  
   
   
       3 . Brush system according to  claim 1 , wherein the cleaning element ( 4 ) rests against the retaining body ( 3 ) with elastic bias, and can be wedged in place on the latter by means of the retaining handle ( 2 ).  
   
   
       4 . Brush system according to  claim 1 , wherein the cleaning element ( 4 ) has a slightly smaller circumference than the retaining body ( 3 ).  
   
   
       5 . Brush system according to  claim 1 , wherein the cleaning element ( 4 ) is a cleaning plush.  
   
   
       6 . Brush system according to  claim 1 , wherein the retaining body ( 3 ) has lateral depressions, into which the elastically deformable retaining handle ( 2 ) engages with a non-positive and a positive lock and in this connection wedges the cleaning element ( 4 ) in between itself and the retaining body ( 3 ).  
   
   
       7 . Brush system according to  claim 1 , wherein the retaining body ( 3 ) consists of a stiff, elastic foam material.  
   
   
       8 . Brush system according to  claim 1 , wherein the retaining body ( 3 ) has a working surface ( 7 ) that is rectangular when viewed in cross-section, having two straight working edges ( 8 ,  9 ).  
   
   
       9 . Brush system according to  claim 1 , wherein the retaining body ( 3 ) has a working surface ( 11 ) that is triangular when viewed in cross-section, having a working edge ( 12 ) that comes to a point.  
   
   
       10 . Brush system according to  claim 1 , wherein the retaining body ( 3 ) has a working surface ( 13 ) that is round when viewed in cross-section, with a round working edge ( 14 ).  
   
   
       11 . Brush system according to  claim 1 , wherein the retaining handle ( 2 ) has an (-shaped configuration, in cross-section, having a center axis Y-Y, whereby two pressure ridges ( 18 ) that lie diametrically opposite one another, with reference to the center axis, are disposed on the retaining handle ( 2 ), oriented in opposite directions, which run perpendicular to the retaining body ( 3 ).  
   
   
       12 . Brush system according to  claim 11 , wherein an extension ( 21 ) that projects perpendicular away from the pressure ridges ( 18 ) is disposed on the free ends of the pressure ridges ( 18 ), in each instance, which extension runs parallel to the retaining body ( 3 ) and is oriented towards the working edge ( 8 ;  12 ;  14 ).
