Angle-adjustable bath brush

An angle-adjustable bath brush comprises a handle disposed with a sliding block and an elastic element that is connected to the sliding block, the sliding block having at least a protruded portion; and a connecting pole being connected to the handle which includes a plurality of brush fleeces and concave portions. When the protruded portion of the sliding block is engaged in the concave portion, the connecting pole is unadjustable, when the protruded portion of the sliding block is disengaged in the concave portion, the angle of the connecting pole is adjusted. When the protruded portion is engaged in other concave portions again, thus adjusting and fixing the angle of the connecting pole.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a bath brush, and more particularly to an angle-adjustable bath brush.

2. Description of the Prior Art

A conventional bath brush includes a plurality of brush fleeces that disposed at a handle, since the bath brush is unadjustable, when bathing, some parts of the human body (such as the back) can not be scrubbed effectively.

The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The primary objective of the present invention is to provide an angle-adjustable bath brush comprises a handle disposed with a sliding block, the sliding block includes at least a protruded portion; and a connecting pole that is connected to the handle, and the connecting pole includes a plurality of brush fleeces and concave portions. Since at least one protruded portion of the sliding block is disengaged from and engaged in the concave portion, the angle of the bath brush is adjusted and fixed, and each part of the human body can be scrubbed.

The handle is disposed with an elastic element for abutting against the sliding block.

The sliding block is disposed with a soft member that is located at the surface of the handle, the sliding block can be moved by pushing the soft member.

The connecting pole is disposed with a flexible portion, thus when bathing, the human body will feel comfortable when being contacted with the brush fleeces.

The connecting pole is mounted with a plurality of protruded posts for massaging the human body.

The handle includes a soft handle portion to be gripped by the user.

The present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, which show, for purpose of illustrations only, the preferred embodiments in accordance with the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Referring to FIGS. 1-3, an angle-adjustable bath brush in accordance with the present invention comprises a handle 1, a connecting pole 2, a sliding block 3 and an elastic element 4. The handle 1 includes a through hole 11 for hooking, a soft handle portion 12 to be gripped by the user, a groove 13 and a cavity 14. The connecting pole 2 is disposed with brush fleeces 21 for scrubbing the human body, a plurality of protruded posts 22 for massaging the human body, a flexible portion 23 and a plurality of concave portions 24 that are arranged in an arc-shaped fashion. The concave portions 24 of the connecting pole 2 are pivotally disposed in the groove 13 by a pivot P, so that the connecting pole 2 is rotated along the pivot P. The sliding block 3 that includes at least a protruded portion 31 and the elastic element 4 are inserted into the cavity 14 of the handle I respectively, as shown in FIG. 3. Both ends of the elastic element 4 are abutted against an inner wall 141 of one end of the cavity 14 and the sliding block 3, thus the sliding block 3 will be moved towards the connecting pole 2 by the elasticity of the elastic element 4, and at least a protruded portion 31 of the sliding block 3 is engaged in the concave portion 24 of the connecting pole 2 so as to fix the connecting pole 2.

A plate 5 is disposed in the top surface of the sliding block 3 by connecting assemblies N, the top surface of the plate 5 is connected to a soft member 6, the plate 5 and the soft member 6 are located in the cavity 14, and the soft member 6 is located at the surface of the handle 1. When the soft member 6 is pressed and moved towards the direction of the soft handle portion 12 as shown in FIG. 4, the sliding block 3 will overcome the elasticity of the elastic element 4 and move towards the direction of the soft handle portion 12. At that time, the elastic element 4 is compressed, and the protruded portion 31 of the sliding block 3 is disengaged in the concave portion 24. Therefore, the connecting pole 2 together with the brush fleeces 21 and the protruded posts 22 are rotated along the pivot P arbitrary (as shown in FIGS. 5-8). Once the adjusting angle of the connecting pole 2 is fixed, and when the soft member 6 is released by the user, the sliding block 3 will be influenced by the elasticity of the elastic element 4, so the protruded portion 31 of the sliding block 3 is moved towards the direction of the connecting pole 2 and then engaged in the concave portion 24 again (as shown in FIG. 3).

FIG. 8 shows the collecting condition of the bath brush, wherein the brush fleeces 21 of the connecting pole 2 are rotated to be near the soft handle portion 12.

To summarize, the brush fleeces 21 and the protruded posts 22 can be adjusted together with the connecting pole 2, and each part of the human body can be scrubbed and massaged easily. And since the connecting pole 2 is disposed with a flexible portion 23, the human body will feel comfortable when being contacted with the brush fleeces 21 and the protruded posts 22.

It is to be noted that the elasticity of the elastic element 4 enables the protruded portion 31 of the sliding block 3 to engage in the concave portion 24 stably, even though when scrubbing or massaging, the protruded portion 31 is still engaged in the concave portion 24.

While we have shown and described various embodiments in accordance with the present invention, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that further embodiments may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
