Abstract
A brush construction for motor vehicle washing systems comprises a base plate (2) that supports a plurality of bristles (3) each of which has a base end (31), fixed to the plate (2), and a free end (32); the base plate (2) is suitable for being removably fixed to a rotating construction that is suitable for rotating the base plate (2) around the central axis thereof; the bristles (3) are fixed to the base plate (2) with different tilts both in radial directions, inwardly and outwardly, both in non-radial directions, clockwise and anticlockwise, with respect to the rotation direction of the base plate (2) or in any other direction that is different from the preceding directions; the bristles (3) being arranged with mutually converging and/or diverging tilt directions.
Claims15
A brush construction for motor vehicle washing systems, comprising a base plate (2) supporting a plurality of bristles (3) each of which has a base end (31), fixed to the plate (2) and a free end (32);
- wherein
- said base plate (2) includes an outer edge and is suitable for being removably fixed to a rotary structure that is suitable for rotating said base plate (2) around a central axis thereof;
- said bristles (3) comprise sets of bristles which in turn comprise:
- (i) a left set of bristles at the left portion of the base plate;
- (ii) a right set of bristles at the right portion of the base plate;
- (iii) a top set of bristles at the top portion of the base plate;
- and
- (iv) a bottom set of bristles at the bottom portion of the base plate;
- said bristles (3) are fixed to said base plate (2) with different tilts so that angles are formed from the bristles (3) fixed to the base plate (2);
- and
- said bristles (3) are arranged with mutually converging and/or diverging tilt directions, wherein at least one of said sets of bristles (3) are tilted in a counter-clockwise direction with respect to a rotary direction of the plate (2) or at least one of said sets of bristles (3) are tilted in a clockwise direction with respect to the rotary direction of the plate (2);
- wherein the left set, the right set, the top set, and the bottom set of bristles form an acute angle with the corresponding clockwise or counter-clockwise directional line that is tangent to the edge.
