CO OS o ON 1^ (54) HANDBÜRSTE'(57) a Handbürste points a housing (1) with a Waschmittelbehälter (6) up, of which a pipe (10) is away downward, which intersperses a passage (17) in a carrier (16), which is moved back and forth along axles (15) by one of an electric motor (18) propelled eccentric disk (20). The carrier (16) is connected by a mounting plate (23) with a brush base (26), of that bristles (29,30,32,34) is away. The mounting plate (23) is tiltable around the lower axle (15) and by the carrier (16) with its reciprocating movement is carried forward, so that also the brush base (26) such reciprocating movement drove out. If the brush base (26) with the mounting plate (23) is swivelled, then becomes over one in the mounting plate (23) intended attack (35) in the pipe (10) arranged tappet (21) upward pressed, whereby the valve disk (12) of the ground (9) of the Waschmittelbehälters (6) and detergent into the cavity (40) of the brush base (26) is arrived, of where it over an opening (41) in the brush base it withdraws. At the same time operated via a pin (37), which with a further attack (36) in the mounting plate (23) cooperates, a switch (39) for start-up of the electric motor (18), so that the carrier (16) concerns and working and thus the brush base (26) brushing the movement ausführen.ImINR 0078018 No. 390,719 the invention a Handbürste, with distant bristles an exhibiting brush base, which is on a linear guidance by a drive device, for example an electric motor, preferably stored by means of an eccentric cam, and adjustably. By an electric motor propelled Handbürsten are already admit 5In of the US-PS 3,439,370 are descriptive a Handbürste, with which with distant bristles of provided brush bases along a linear guidance by a crank gear movable arranged are. The detergent is supplied during this well-known arrangement over nozzles, which are intended separately from the brush arrangement, the user must thus first its hands under the nozzles hold, where they are moistened with the detergent, and afterwards into the range of the brushes to move, in order to clean them by means of the brushes. Such an execution form exhibits the disadvantage that it stresses much place, since a separate area for the nozzles must be planned. The moreover consumption is substantially increased at detergents, since this withdraws also if the hands which can be moistened are not underneath the nozzles. Other well-known Handbürsten point rotating brushes around an axle to (US-PS 3,081,471, US-PS 3,940,819). During these arrangements the supply of the detergent is also made by nozzles. These nozzles did not take place in the range of the brush base arranged, so that the space requirement is reduced, a proportioned, material-saving supply of the detergent however also. The detergent up-sprayed on the rotary brushes spun in the housing taking up the brushes by the rotation outward and arrived only partially at the palms. In addition a cleaning in particular the fingernails is in sufficient measure does not ensure the available invention to the task placed itself to avoid the disadvantages of the well-known arrangements and out-arrange a Handbürste in such a manner with rotary brushes that it exhibits a simple structure and needs a small space requirement and that above all an automatic and proportioned supply of the detergent guarantees it to those palms, which are worked on straight with the bristles. For the solution of this task, on the basis of a Handbürste of the initially described kind, it is suggested that the brush base exhibits a cavity, which is connected with a Waschmittelbehälter by a line and exhibits at its wall at least one outlet for the detergent, and that this brush base is preferably solvable connected with a carrier, which along the guidance is adjustably stored. With the training according to invention effected thus the supply of the detergent from a cavity planned in the brush base and withdraws over an outlet from this brush base, which is in the range of the bristles, so that the supply of the detergent takes place directly to the palms worked on by the bristles. It is thus only necessary to stop those for washing palms to the brush base in the range of the bristles. In accordance with a preferential Ausfüihrungsform of the invention the brush base is stored in one normal level for shift direction tiltable and it is operatable during its lagging in the Anspeiseleitung of the electric motor of lying switches and/or a Abspeirorgan cooperating with the line to the Waschmittelbehälter. Such a training exhibits the advantage that by pressing the hand which can be washed to the brush base this is swivelled and hiedurch the electric motor is switched on and/or the supply of the liquid detergent into the ways led. 40Gemäß a further characteristic of the invention is the brush base with a mounting plate solvable connected, which is coupled to common movement with the carrier, however relative to the carrier tiltable stored is, so that the lagging of the brush base as well as the mounting plate can take place relative to the carrier and be easily changed for the Bürstengrundköiper, how this is appropriate for example during a wear of the bristles necessarily or of the Handbürste when using different persons 45, since then each person can use their own brush base. Such execution form obtained on constructionally simple way thereby that the mounting plate with bearing sleeves on an axle, on which the carrier and adjustably is stored is tiltable stored thereby, whereby the bearing sleeves are together with the carrier movable arranged for example that two bearing sleeves of the mounting plate fit to opposite faces each other on in shift direction of the carrier 50 the same. In accordance with a further characteristic of the invention with the Waschmittelbehälter connected the line exists its end, preferably over a kugelkalottenförmigen contact part, of a pipe, which is enough by an opening arranged in the carrier through into the mounting plate and is adjustably led into the shutoff device of operating tappets, with an attack arranged in the mounting plate cooperates. The 55 opening must hiebei be so largely selected that the being certain pipe permits reciprocating movement of the carrier the mounting plate swivelled, then over the attack of the tappets connected with the mounting plate is shifted and thus the shutoff device opened, so that the liquid detergent can flow over the mounting plate into the hollow body of the Grundköipers. The kugelkalottenförmige contact part facilitates reciprocating movement of the mounting plate connected with the carrier relative to the being certain tappet. 60Das shutoff device can according to invention consist of in the closing position by a feather/spring od. such to the ground of the Waschmittelbehälters pressed in slightly valve disk. The tappet exhibits appropriately the interior cross section of the pipe appropriate cross section and is provided with a serration, over the which 2 - No. of 390,719 detergents is supplyable takes place a safe thereby tilt-free guidance of the tappet in the pipe. The switch, which lies in the Anspeiseleitung of the electric motor, is appropriately to the carrier fastened and by a pin led adjustably in this carrier operatable, whose end cooperates with a further attack arranged in the attitude. This execution form guarantees that during a swivelling of the mounting plate and/or the brush base connected with this mounting plate the electric motor is switched on and thus reciprocating movement of the carrier is caused. In accordance with a further characteristic of the invention the brush base of the mounting plate extends downward and is at the back, which surfaces including from two an obtuse angle if necessary with one another exists, and at this back facing the front with bristles provide, whereby the bristles at the front are arranged preferably only in the right and left boundary region of this front. Such a brush is handfairly in particular trained as the care of the nails, whereby only partially the bristles arranged at the front for the cleaning of the thumb nail and the bristles arranged at the back serve the right and left hand for the cleaning of the remaining fingernails. Preferably additionally bristles are intended also at the lower surface of the brush base, over which for example the Handrücken or the hand inner surface can be cleaned. In the design the invention is schematically illustrated on the basis a remark example. Fig. 1 shows a cross section by a Handbürste according to invention after the line (I -1) in Fig. 2. Fig. 2 places a profile after the line (11 - ü) in Fig. 1 and Fig. 3 shows a partial cross section after the line (REAR - DI) in Fig. 2. 20Die Handbürste according to invention points a housing (1) up, which by means of a console (2) to a wall (3) above a not represented wash basin the connection between the housing (1) and the console (2) is fastened been made by screws (4), which long holes (5) in the console intersperse (2), so that the distance of the housing (1) from the wall (3) to be changed and to different sizes of the wash basin be adapted can. 25Der top of the housing (1) is as Waschmittelbehälter (6) trained, the one by a cover (7) lockable opening (8) as filling in a liquid detergent, for example a liquid soap, exhibits. Of the ground (9) of the Waschmittelbehälters, which opening (8) facing, a pipe (10) extends downward, in which a tappet (11) is adjustably led. The tappet (11) is connected at its upper end with a valve disk (12), which in the closing position against the ground (9) of the Waschmittelbehälters rests, and exhibits at its lower end to a kugelkalottenförmigen contact part (of 13). By one between the kugelkalottenförmigen contact part (13) and the lower Stimende of the pipe (10) arranged feather/spring (14) the tappet (11) is pressed into its closing position, in which the valve disk (12) at the ground (9) of the Waschmittelbehälters (6) lies close. If the tappet (11) is shifted upward in the following the way described more near against Kraft of the feather/spring (14), then the valve disk (12) of the ground 35 (9) of the Waschmittelbehälters (6) off, so that the liquid detergent can flow over a serration (45), planned in the tappet, lifts itself downward. At opposite side panels of the housing (1) two to each other parallel shaped like a bar axles (15) are fastened as linear guidance (15 '), at which a carrier (16) is and adjustably stored. The carrier (16) points an oval passage (17) for that the line (10 ') to screen end pipe 40 (10) up, which is so limited that she makes reciprocating shift possible of the carrier (16). This shift movement is caused by an electric motor (18), on whose wave (19) an eccentric disk (20) sits, which intervenes in a slotted hole (21), extending in a direction perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the axles (15), in the carrier (16). The side panels of the slotted hole (21) in the carrier (16), preferably consisting of plastic, are lined by a metal bushing (22), in order to prevent a rapid wear of these side panels. The eccentric disk (20), arranged in the slotted hole (21), causes the mentioned during its rotating motion reciprocating movement of the carrier (16) along the axles (15). On the lower axle (15) a mounting plate (23) is tiltable stored. The tiltable storage takes place over with the mounting plate connected bearing sleeves (24), which are interspersed by the lower axle (15) and which interspersed reciprocally at the stimseitigen end of one of the lower axle (15) Hinterschneidung of the carrier (16) lie close, so that the mounting plate (23) is not only around the lower axle (15) tiltable, but also by reciprocating movement of the carrier (16) along this axle (15) also such a movement implement. With the mounting plate (23) a brush base (26) is connected, its back, like in particular from Fig by a spring-actuated lock (25). 1 follows, from with one another surfaces including an obtuse angle (27, 28) exists, on which bristle rows (29, 30) are fastened. At the lower surface (31) a Borstemeihe (32) is and at the front (33) of the brush base (26) only in the right and left boundary region one with bristles (34) equipped surface (see Fig. 2). The mounting plate (23) is trained hollow and exhibits an attack (35), rising up inward, which cooperates with the kugelkalottenförmigen contact part (13), as well as a further attack (36) (see Fig. 2 60 and 3), which cooperates with one in the mounting plate (23) led pin (37), which operates a switch (39), arranged in the mounting plate, by its shift under inserting a feather/spring (38), which lies in the electric circuit of the electric motor (18).

No. 390,719 the brush base exhibits a cavity (40), which by an opening (41), which for instance in the deepest place of the cavity (40), gathering down, is arranged, with the exterior of the brush base (26) is connected. The current supply of the electric motor (18) is made either by replaceable mono cells (42) or over at 5 place of the mono cells intended loadable batteries, which are rechargeable over a battery charger (43). It can be made however the Anspeisung also directly from electricity mains by an insulating transformer (44). With application of the Handbürste according to invention, which is fastened above a wash basin, is the Waschmittelbehälter (6) filled with a suitable detergent, for example with liquid soap. During the cleaning procedure of the hands and/or fingernails these are set on the bristles in such a manner that the thumb of a hand rests against one of the two with bristles equipped surfaces (34) and the remaining fingers at the bristle row (29) and/or (30). With light pressure on the rear side of the brush base (26), consisting of the surfaces (27, 28), this is swivelled around the lower axle (15), whereby both the tappet (11) and the pin (37) are shifted upward. Thus takes place on the one hand taking the valve disk (12 off) of the ground (9) of the Waschmittelbehälters (6), so that a detergent supply by the 15 serration (45) into the cavity (40) of the brush base been made, of where the detergent withdraws over the opening (41), on the other hand via the switch (39) the electric motor (18) with river is supplied, whereby the carrier (16) and thus the mounting plate (23) and the brush base (26) are moved back and forth, thus a brushing movement would drive out. The brush base (26) can be loosened and exchanged over the spring-actuated lock (25) easily from the mounting plate (23).
