Abstract

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.

Description

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.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

• FIG. 2 is another perspective view of the angle-adjustable bath brush in accordance with the present invention;
• FIG. 3 is an assembly cross sectional view of a part of the angle-adjustable bath brush in accordance with the present invention, showing a connecting pole is fixed;
• FIG. 4 is another assembly cross sectional view of a part of the angle-adjustable bath brush in accordance with the present invention, showing the angle of the connecting pole is adjusted;
• FIGS. 5-7 are further assembly cross sectional views of showing the angle-adjustable connecting pole; and
• FIG. 8 is still an assembly cross sectional view of showing the connecting pole being adjusted to be near the handle.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
• Referring toFIGS. 1-3, an angle-adjustable bath brush in accordance with the present invention comprises ahandle1, a connectingpole2, asliding block3 and anelastic element4. Thehandle1 includes a through hole11 for hooking, asoft handle portion12 to be gripped by the user, agroove13 and acavity14. The connectingpole2 is disposed withbrush fleeces21 for scrubbing the human body, a plurality of protrudedposts22 for massaging the human body, aflexible portion23 and a plurality ofconcave portions24 that are arranged in an arc-shaped fashion. Theconcave portions24 of the connectingpole2 are pivotally disposed in thegroove13 by a pivot P, so that the connectingpole2 is rotated along the pivot P. The slidingblock3 that includes at least aprotruded portion31 and theelastic element4 are inserted into thecavity14 of the handle I respectively, as shown inFIG. 3. Both ends of theelastic element4 are abutted against aninner wall141 of one end of thecavity14 and thesliding block3, thus the slidingblock3 will be moved towards the connectingpole2 by the elasticity of theelastic element4, and at least aprotruded portion31 of thesliding block3 is engaged in theconcave portion24 of the connectingpole2 so as to fix the connectingpole2.
• Aplate5 is disposed in the top surface of thesliding block3 by connecting assemblies N, the top surface of theplate5 is connected to asoft member6, theplate5 and thesoft member6 are located in thecavity14, and thesoft member6 is located at the surface of thehandle1. When thesoft member6 is pressed and moved towards the direction of thesoft handle portion12 as shown inFIG. 4, thesliding block3 will overcome the elasticity of theelastic element4 and move towards the direction of thesoft handle portion12. At that time, theelastic element4 is compressed, and theprotruded portion31 of thesliding block3 is disengaged in theconcave portion24. Therefore, the connectingpole2 together with thebrush fleeces21 and theprotruded posts22 are rotated along the pivot P arbitrary (as shown inFIGS. 5-8). Once the adjusting angle of the connectingpole2 is fixed, and when thesoft member6 is released by the user, thesliding block3 will be influenced by the elasticity of theelastic element4, so theprotruded portion31 of thesliding block3 is moved towards the direction of the connectingpole2 and then engaged in theconcave portion24 again (as shown inFIG. 3).
• FIG. 8 shows the collecting condition of the bath brush, wherein thebrush fleeces21 of the connectingpole2 are rotated to be near thesoft handle portion12.
• To summarize, thebrush fleeces21 and the protrudedposts22 can be adjusted together with the connectingpole2, and each part of the human body can be scrubbed and massaged easily. And since the connectingpole2 is disposed with aflexible portion23, the human body will feel comfortable when being contacted with thebrush fleeces21 and theprotruded posts22.
• It is to be noted that the elasticity of theelastic element4 enables theprotruded portion31 of the slidingblock3 to engage in theconcave portion24 stably, even though when scrubbing or massaging, theprotruded portion31 is still engaged in theconcave portion24.
• 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.
