Abstract:
A cleaning brush comprising a brush embodiment, a telescopic tube, a valve assembly, and a rotary connector wherein said brush embodiment has a threaded coupling hole disposed at the center thereof, and a through groove disposed at one lateral side thereof for a scraper strip to be adapted thereto; a water inlet control mechanism being characterized by that:said telescopic tube, a hollow tube in shape, mainly made up of a threaded sleeve, a locking sleeve, a sleeve tube, an outer tube, an inner tube, and a sealing sleeve wherein said threaded sleeve having a threaded upper end of smaller diameter, and a sleeve coupling hole disposed at the other end thereof; said locking sleeve having an inner threaded section disposed at one end thereof with a tapered section disposed at the other end thereof; said sleeve tube having an inner ring groove properly disposed at the middle section thereof, a stepwise outer threaded section disposed at one end thereof and a plurality of stopping teeth extending upwards at a top of said stepwise outer threaded section thereof; said outer tube with said inner tube joined therein having a handle cover disposed at the outer surface thereof, and a projecting ring disposed at one end thereof; said sealing sleeve having a plurality of water proof rings disposed at the periphery thereof, a stepwise coupling tube disposed at one end thereof, and an indented groove disposed at the periphery of said stepwise coupling tube thereof; said valve assembly mainly made up of a valve body, a valve sleeve, and a switch sleeve wherein said valve body having a plurality of watertight rings disposed at both an upper and a lower periphery thereof, a circular groove defined properly at the upper section thereof, a stop flange projecting at the middle section thereof, and a transverse retaining hole properly disposed at the lower section thereof; a pair of asymmetric upper and lower water outlet orifices being disposed at the inner side of said transverse retaining hole in communication with an upper water outlet hole and a lower water inlet hole disposed at both ends of said valve body thereof respectively; said lower water outlet orifice being defined by a projecting flange adjacent to said lower water inlet hole thereof; said valve sleeve having a pair of arc ends disposed at both sides thereof, and an indented ring groove disposed at one side thereof with a sealing ring adapted thereto; said switch sleeve being equipped with an eccentric arc facet properly disposed at the inner side thereof, and a guide slope extending at a top of said eccentric arc facet thereof; said rotary connector having an inner threaded hole disposed at the lower section thereof with a sleeve hole and a pivot hole disposed consequently in stepwise at the top of said inner threaded hole thereof for a retaining sleeve to be led there-through; said retaining sleeve having a sleeve seat with a watertight ring adapted thereto disposed at one end thereof, and a pivot rod projecting at the other end thereof wherein a sealing washer is adapted to be abutted against said sleeve seat thereof; in assembly, said valve sleeve of the valve assembly is adapted to the transverse retaining hole of said valve body till the sealing ring of said valve sleeve is abutted against the projecting flange of said valve body to seal up the discharge of water, and both arc ends of said valve sleeve is led through the guide slope of said switch sleeve to be located onto said eccentric arc facet thereof for regulating the water discharge; whereby, said switch sleeve is rotated to one side to dislocate the sealing ring of said valve sleeve from the projecting flange of said valve body via said eccentric arc facet pushing said arc ends thereof to reveal a gap there-between in communication with said lower water orifice thereof for the discharge of water; when the gap thereof becomes wider, the amount of water discharged will increase accordingly; thus, via the mechanism thereof, said switch sleeve can directly regulate the discharge of water without any counter force produced therewith as well as accurately control the amount of water discharged, greatly saving the strength thereof.
