2003. 07. 01. Vácity, József dr Joint cleaner for floor-tiled surfaces
1. The invention: 
  • The problem to be solved: The cleaning of dirty joints between the floor tiles.
  • Definition: It is a spherical, 3-line brush, the outer brushline is 3-5 mm shorter than the ones in the middle. An electric motor revolves this brush, with water sprayed on the middle brush, it cleans the joint, the outer brushlines clean the sides of the tiles.

     

  • Presentation: The cause of soiling tile joints:

    A part of dust pollution remains in the joints in case of cleaning with a broom. Traditional mops run over these joints, what is more wet emulsion is created and the joints get even more dirtier (the same happens in case the tiled floor is hoovered before mopping, but it is a slower process).

    The fundamental idea of this invention is a 3-line revolving brush with asymmetric fibre length. Demands for splash  and simmering protection, interchangeable brushes, long and short handles, liquid pumped on the brush, etc. are only supplementary items.

  

  • Application: Cleaning of dirty joints between the floor tiles.
  • Advantages: It becomes fairly easy to clean the joints between the floor tiles.

     

  • Stage of development: Prototype
  • Documentation available: User description.
