Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Entfernen von Haaren gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentspruchs 1.The invention relates to a device for removing hair according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Das Entfernen von Haaren aus Abflüssen, insbesondere aus Abflüssen von Waschbecken, Badewannen oder Duschwannen ist nach Benützung der entsprechenden Waschbecken oder Wannen eine notwendige aber gemeinhin lästige Aufgabe, um Verstopfungen zu vermeiden und ein problemloses Ablaufen des Wassers durch den Abfluss und das Abflussrohr zu gewährleisten. Mit dem ablaufenden Wasser werden in diesem vorhandene Haare und sonstige Verunreinigungen mit in den Fluss gezogen, wobei sich insbesondere Haare häufig zu Knäueln verwirren und an Ecken, Kanten oder anderen Unebenheiten oder Vorsprüngen, die an Einläufen von Abflüssen oder den zugehörigen Rohrteilen vorhanden sind, hängen bleiben. Die Entfernung solcher Haarrückstände in Abflusseinläufen und/oder Abflussrohren ist eine unangenehme und manchmal nicht ganz einfach zu bewerkstelligende Aufgabe, da ein Waschbeckenstopfen häufig mit einer in dem Abflussrohr vorhandenen Stangenmechanik bewegt wird. Diese Stangenmechanik erstreckt sich oft erheblich in das Abflussrohr hinein, so dass Haare, die an dieser Mechanik hängen bleiben, häufig nicht ohne Hilfsmittel erreicht werden können. Vielfach werden deshalb zum Entfernen der Haare Pinzetten oder ähnliche Gegenstände verwendet, die in das Abflussrohr eingebracht werden können, was jedoch die Gefahr birgt, dass diese Hilfsmittel in das Abflussrohr fallen und dieses zusätzlich verstopfen.The removal of hair from drains, especially from sinks, bathtubs or shower trays is a necessary but generally annoying task after use of the corresponding sinks or tubs, to avoid blockages and to ensure easy drainage of the water through the drain and the drainpipe. With the running water in this existing hair and other impurities are drawn into the river, in particular, hair often confused to tangles and at corners, edges or other bumps or protrusions that are present at inlets of drains or the associated pipe parts hang stay. The removal of such hair debris in drains and / or drains is an awkward and sometimes uneasy task, since a sink plug is often moved with a rod mechanism present in the drainpipe. This rod mechanism often extends considerably into the drainage tube, so that hair that sticks to this mechanism, often can not be achieved without tools. In many cases therefore tweezers or similar objects are used to remove the hair, which can be introduced into the drain pipe, but this carries the risk that these aids fall into the drain pipe and this clogged in addition.

Bei Abflusseinläufen, die mit einem mit Öffnungen versehenem Sieb abgedeckt sind, fließen die beim Ablaufen des Wassers in diesem vorhandenen Haare darüber hinaus nicht nur in eine Öffnung, sondern in aller Regel, je nach Länge des Haares in mehrere Öffnungen gleichzeitig und verfangen sich auf diese Weise in dem Sieb, wobei sich die Haare jedoch aufgrund der beim Ablaufen des Wassers entstehenden Wasserwirbel oft unterhalb des Siebs mit ihren Enden regelrecht verknoten, so dass eine Entfernung der Haare nicht ohne weiteres möglich ist, und einer gewissen Gewaltanwendung bedarf, um die Haare zu zerreißen und anschließend aus dem Sieb zu entfernen.In drain drains, which are covered with an apertured sieve, the existing in the running of the water in this hair beyond not only in an opening, but usually, depending on the length of the hair in several openings at the same time and get caught on this Way in the sieve, but the hair due to the water swirls arising during the drainage of water often below the sieve literally knot with their ends, so that a removal of the hair is not readily possible, and requires some use of force to the hair tear and then remove from the sieve.

Des weiteren ist es bisher praktisch immer notwendig die zu entfernenden Haare mit der Hand anzufassen, was oft eine unangenehme und unhygienische Tätigkeit ist, die deshalb häufig vernachlässigt wird, so dass die Abflüsse durch weitere mit dem Ablaufwasser ablaufende Haare immer stärker verstopft werden und eine Reinigung immer problematischer wird.Furthermore, it is practically always necessary to handle the hair to be removed by hand, which is often an unpleasant and unhygienic activity, which is why often is neglected, so that the outflows are increasingly blocked by more running with the drainage hair hairs and a cleaning is increasingly problematic.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine kostengünstige Vorrichtung sowie ein Verfahren zum Entfernen von Haaren oder dergleichen wickelbarer Verunreinigungen aus Abflüssen, insbesondere aus Abflüssen von Waschbecken, sowie Bade- und Duschwannen zur Verfügung zu stellen, das die vorgenannten Probleme löst.The invention has for its object to provide a cost-effective device and a method for removing hair or the like windable contaminants from drains, in particular from drains of sinks, as well as bathtubs and shower trays available that solves the above problems.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Vorrichtung gemäß Patentanspruch 1, ein Verfahren gemäß Patentanspruch 12 sowie die Verwendung einer Vorrichtung gemäß Patentanspruch 15 gelöst.This object is achieved by a device according to claim 1, a method according to claim 12 and the use of a device according to claim 15.

Insbesondere wird die Aufgabe durch eine Vorrichtung zum Entfernen von Haaren und dergleichen wickelbaren Verunreinigungen aus Abflüssen, insbesondere aus Abflüssen von Waschbecken, Spülbecken sowie Bade- und Duschwannen, mittels eines stabförmigen Haltestabs an dessen einem Endbereich, insbesondere Funktionsabschnitt, umfänglich zumindest zwei Stifte unter Ausbildung einer Fang- bzw. Sammelvorrichtung vorgesehen sind, gelöst.In particular, the object is achieved by a device for removing hair and the like windable contaminants from drains, especially from drains, sinks and baths and shower trays, by means of a rod-shaped holding rod at one end, in particular functional section, circumferentially at least two pins to form a Catching or collecting device are provided, solved.

Ein wesentlicher Punkt der Erfindung liegt darin, dass der Haltestab stabförmig, also langgestreckt ausgebildet ist und ein Einführen in Abflussrohre ermöglicht. Am Funktionsende des Haltestabs sind umfänglich zumindest zwei Stifte angeordnet. Mit diesen Stiften können Haare, die sich bereits im Abflussrohr oder an dessen Einlauf befinden eingefangen bzw. eingesammelt werden. Dies wird üblicherweise dadurch erreicht, dass der Haltestab gemeinsam mit dem fix an diesen befestigten Stiften zumindest etwas gedreht wird. Die Drehung kann in einer hin- und her Drehung, aber auch in einer ein- oder mehrmaligen vollen Umdrehung bestehen.An essential point of the invention is that the holding rod is rod-shaped, so elongated and allows insertion into drain pipes. At the functional end of the retaining rod circumferentially at least two pins are arranged. With these pins, hair that is already in the drainpipe or at its inlet can be caught or collected. This is usually achieved in that the holding rod is at least slightly rotated together with the fixedly attached to these pins. The rotation can consist in a back and forth rotation, but also in a one or more full turn.

In vorteilhafter Weise ist es ermöglicht den stabförmigen Haltestab soweit in das Abflussrohr des Wasch- oder Spülbeckens bzw. der Bade- oder Duschwanne einzuführen, dass ein effektives Entfernen der darin befindlichen Haare oder sonstiger Verunreinigungen, wie beispielsweise von aufgeweichtem Papier und/oder Gegenständen, die sich gemeinsam mit den Haaren in dem Abflussrohr verfangen haben, möglich ist.Advantageously, it is possible to introduce the rod-shaped holding rod as far into the drainage pipe of the washing or sink or the bath or shower tray, that effective removal of the hair or other contaminants therein, such as softened paper and / or objects, the have caught together with the hair in the drainpipe is possible.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Erfindung sind die Stifte an dem Haltestab in verschiedenen Ebenen angeordnet. Mit anderen Worten bedeutet dies, dass die Stifte im Endbereich, insbesondere Funktionsabschnitt, des Haltestabs in unterschiedlichem Abstand vom Ende des Haltestabs angeordnet sind. Auf diese Weise ist es möglich den Wirkbereich des Funktionsabschnitts zu vergrößern, so dass gleichzeitig ein größerer Bereich bzw. Abschnitt des Abflussrohres gereinigt werden kann.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the pins are arranged on the support rod in different planes. In other words, this means that the pins in the end region, in particular functional portion, of the support rod at different distances from End of the support bar are arranged. In this way, it is possible to increase the effective range of the functional section, so that at the same time a larger area or section of the drainage pipe can be cleaned.

Des weiteren sind die Stifte in vorteilhafter Weise hakenförmig, insbesondere widerhakenförmig und/oder in der Art von Klett-Haken ausgebildet, so dass ein Hängen bleiben von in dem Abflussrohr oder Abflusssieb befindlichen Haaren leichter möglich ist.Furthermore, the pins are advantageously hook-shaped, in particular barb-shaped and / or designed in the manner of hook-and-loop, so that it is easier to hang from hairs located in the drainage tube or drainage screen.

Die Stifte sind an dem Funktionsabschnitt im wesentlichen rechtwinklig angeordnet, wobei auch eine leichte Aufwärtsorientierung in Richtung eines Halteabschnitts des Haltestabs vorteilhaft sein kann, da bei einer solchen Anordnung beim zurückziehen des Haltstabs aus dem Abflussrohr ein gewisser Fang- bzw. Sammeleffekt auf in dem Abflussrohr vorhandene Haare ausgeübt wird.The pins are arranged substantially at right angles to the functional section, whereby a slight upward orientation in the direction of a holding section of the holding bar may also be advantageous, since with such an arrangement, when the holding bar is withdrawn from the drainage tube, a certain catching effect on the drainage tube is present Hair is exercised.

Alternativ ist es möglich, dass die Stifte an dem Funktionsabschnitt in einem Winkel im Bereich von 10° bis 70° vorzugsweise im Bereich von 20° bis 50° und besonders bevorzugt im Bereich vom 50° bis 40° angeordnet sind. Mit dieser Ausführungsform ist es in vorteilhafter Weise möglich die Stifte in Öffnungen eines Siebes, dass am Abflusseinlauf vorhanden ist, einzuführen. In diesem Fall sind die Stifte vorzugsweise haken- oder widerhakenförmig ausgebildet oder weisen zusätzliche Widerhaken auf, an denen sich die in dem Abfluss bzw. Sieb befindlichen Haare verfangen können.Alternatively, it is possible that the pins are arranged on the functional portion at an angle in the range of 10 ° to 70 °, preferably in the range of 20 ° to 50 ° and particularly preferably in the range of 50 ° to 40 °. With this embodiment, it is advantageously possible to insert the pins into openings of a screen that is present at the drain inlet. In this case, the pins are preferably hook-shaped or barb-shaped or have additional barbs on which the hairs located in the drain or sieve can get caught.

Selbstverständlich können auch an dem Funktionsabschnitt im wesentlichen rechtwinklig angeordnete Stifte mit Widerhaken versehen sein.Of course, also be provided on the functional portion substantially rectangular pins arranged barbs.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist der Funktionsabschnitt mit dem Haltestab lösbar, insbesondere steck- und/oder schraubbar, verbunden. Auf diese Weise ist eine einfache Reinigung der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung zum Entfernen von Haaren oder dergleichen wickelbaren Verunreinigungen aus Abflüssen möglich, indem der Funktionsabschnitt einfach von dem Haltestab gelöst und durch einen neuen Funktionsabschnitt ersetzt wird. Der verschmutzte Funktionsabschnitt kann anschließend entweder separat gereinigt oder entsorgt werden. Die Befestigung des Funktionsabschnitts an dem Haltestab kann beispielsweise mittels einer Rast- und/oder Schnappverbindung hintersichert werden, um ein unbeabsichtigtes Abrutschen des Funktionsabschnittes von dem Haltestab zu vermeiden.According to an advantageous embodiment of the functional portion with the holding rod is detachable, in particular plug and / or screw connected. In this way, a simple cleaning of the device according to the invention for removing hair or the like windable contaminants from drains is possible by the functional section is simply detached from the support rod and replaced by a new functional section. The soiled functional section can then either be cleaned or disposed of separately. The attachment of the functional portion to the support rod can be backed up, for example by means of a latching and / or snap connection in order to prevent accidental slipping of the functional portion of the support rod.

Vorteilhafterweise ist der Haltestab aus Kunststoff, Metall und/oder Holz und die Stifte aus einem starren Material insbesondere aus Metall oder einem festem Kunststoff ausgebildet, wobei der Haltestab insbesondere auch schlauchförmig flexibel sein kann, um ein tieferes Einführen desselben in ggf. gewinkelte Abflussrohre zu ermöglichen.Advantageously, the support rod made of plastic, metal and / or wood and the pins of a rigid material, in particular made of metal or a solid plastic, the retaining bar in particular can also be flexible hose to allow deeper insertion of the same in possibly angled drain pipes ,

Des weiteren ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass die Stifte sowie ggf. die zusätzlichen Widerhaken antirutschbeschichtet und/oder aufgeraut sind, um eine möglichst optimierte Fang- bzw. Sammeleigenschaft derselben zu gewährleisten.Furthermore, the invention provides that the pins and possibly the additional barbs are anti-slip coated and / or roughened to ensure the best possible catch or collection property thereof.

Gemäß einer besonders einfachen Ausführungsform sind die Stifte durch jeweilige an dem Haltestab, insbesondere Funktionsabschnitt, vorgesehene Bohrungen geführt und in diesen fixiert; eine alternative Variante besteht darin, die Stifte an dem Haltestab, insbesondere Funktionsabschnitt, dadurch zu befestigen, dass diese in den Abschnitt des Haltestabs eingesteckt und/oder eingeschraubt sind.According to a particularly simple embodiment, the pins are guided by respective bores provided on the holding bar, in particular function section, and fixed therein; an alternative variant is to attach the pins to the retaining bar, in particular functional section, by inserting and / or screwing it into the section of the retaining bar.

Des weiteren wird die erfindungsgemäße Aufgabe durch ein Verfahren zum Entfernen von Haare oder dergleichen wickelbaren Verunreinigungen aus Abflüssen, insbesondere aus Abflüssen von Waschbecken, Spülbecken sowie Bade- und Duschwannen, mittels einer erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung gelöst, wobei die folgenden Schritte durchgeführt werden:

  • Plazieren des Haltestabs im wesentlichen senkrecht über einem Einlauf des Abflusses, wobei der Funktionsabschnitt in Richtung Einlauf gerichtet ist;
  • Einführen des Funktionsabschnitts in den Abfluss bzw. die Stifte in einzelne Abflusslöcher;
  • Ausführen von zumindest leichten Drehbewegungen an dem Haltestab; und
  • Zurückziehen des Haltestabs aus dem Abfluss.
Furthermore, the object of the invention is achieved by a method for removing hair or the like windable impurities from drains, in particular from drains of washbasins, sinks and bathtubs and shower trays, by means of a device according to the invention, wherein the following steps are carried out:
  • Placing the support rod substantially vertically above an inlet of the drain, the functional portion being directed towards the inlet;
  • Inserting the functional section into the drain or pins into individual drainage holes;
  • Performing at least slight rotational movements on the support rod; and
  • Retract the retaining bar from the drain.

Nach dem Zurückziehen des Haltestabs aus dem Abfluss, werden an den Stiften hängengebliebene Verunreinigungen, insbesondere Haare entfernt.After retracting the retaining rod from the drain, impurities stuck to the pins, especially hair, are removed.

Des weiteren kann nach dem Zurückziehen des Haltestabs aus dem Abfluss der an diesem vorhandenen verschmutzte Funktionsabschnitt von dem Haltestab gegebenenfalls gelöst und durch einen anderen, beispielsweise neuen Funktionsabschnitt ersetzt werden.Furthermore, after retraction of the retaining rod from the drain, the contaminated functional portion present thereon may optionally be released from the retaining rod and replaced by another, for example, new functional portion.

Im übrigen wird erfindungsgemäß die Verwendung einer erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung zum Entfernen von Haaren oder dergleichen wickelbaren Verunreinigungen, wie beispielsweise aufgeweichtem Papier oder Salatblättern aus Abflüssen, insbesondere aus Abflüssen von Waschbecken, sowie Bade- und Duschwannen beansprucht.Moreover, according to the invention, the use of a device according to the invention for removing hair or the like windable impurities, such as softened paper or lettuce leaves from drains, especially from drains of washbasins, and bath and shower trays claimed.
