Description

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0017] To complement the description that is being carried out, and in order to assist to a best understanding of the characteristics of the invention, attached to this specification, as an integral part thereof, there is a drawing in which, with illustrative and no limiting nature, the following has been represented:

[0018] FIG. 1.It shows a schematic view in perspective of an example of embodiment of the device to clean, disinfect and unclog kitchen, bathroom sinks drains, garbage disposals or other uses, object of the invention, the main parts and elements it comprises can be seen as well as their arrangement and configuration;

[0019] FIG. 2.It shows a section schematic view of the device main body that is screwed on the tap and that comprises the diameter reducer, its configurations and other eventual elements can be seen; and

[0020] FIG. 3 and they show respective views in perspective of two possible examples of the bar that, the device body optionally incorporates.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

[0021] At the light of these figures, and according to the numerals adopted, a non-limiting example of embodiment of the device to clean, disinfect and unclog kitchen, bathroom sinks drains, garbage disposals and other uses of the invention, which comprises the parts and elements indicated and disclosed in detail thereafter.

[0022] Thus, as it can be seen in the said figures, the device (1) of the invention is essentially constituted by a cylindrical body (2) that, open at its two ends and provided with means for its tight fitting to the outlet (3) of a tap, comprises a reducer length (21), of the diameter of the said outlet that provokes a Venturi effect in the water that is passing through it when opening the tap, the said body (2) being connected, in turn, to a flexible pipe (4), also open at its ends, so that, by its distal end (41), the water is expelled under pressure and can be oriented to carry out cleaning the sink where the tap is located in the non-accessible areas such as the overflow or the drain.

[0023] Preferably, the pipe (4) offers a final length (42) even narrower and of a semi-rigid material.

[0024] Optionally, the distal end (41) of the pipe (4), whether it possesses or not such final length (42), is blind but incorporates several side holes (43) that radially distribute the pressurized water.

[0025] Optionally, the final length (42) of the pipe (4) has a round section or a rectangular section, in order that it can be inserted through round holes or elongated grooves of the overflow.

[0026] Preferably, the final length (42) is of a dismountable and interchangeable nature.

[0027] As for the FIG. 2, it can be seen how, in the preferred embodiment, the body (2) of the device (1), that comprises the diameter reducer (21) defines an internal housing (22) adapted to incorporate a bar (5) of detergent or another chemical.

[0028] The bar (5), as shown in the FIGS. 3 and 4, possesses one or more through holes (51) that allow the passage of the water through them.

[0029] In the said FIG. 2, in addition, it can be seen how, in the said preferred embodiment, the body (2) also incorporates an aerator filter (6).

[0030] More concretely, the said preferred embodiment of the device (1) comprises a cylindrical body (2) and is configured to be fixed by screwing it on the outlet thread (3) of the standard tap, and it shows two independent parts, also couplable to each other by means of a thread, one upper (2a) with the aerator filter (6), that can be left permanently stationary at the outlet of the tap (3), and a lower (2b) with the diameter reducer (21), and the internal housing (22) for the bar (5), and in which the pipe (4) is coupled, that can be mounted and dismounted, at the moment of cleaning or unclogging, by screwing it on the upper part (2a).

[0031] Preferably, the coupling of the body (2) with the outlet (3) of the tap (3), in addition, comprises a sealing O-ring (7).

[0032] Last, the preferred embodiment of the device (1) in addition possesses a protection such as a dome (8), preferably transparent, with an upper hole (81) adapted to insert the pipe (4) through it and a lower opening (82) having a larger diameter, preferably equal or larger than that of the drain outlet, so that, splashes generated by the pressured water exit through the distal end (41) of the said pipe (4) when cleaning or unclogging are stopped by the said protection (8).

[0033] The nature of this invention having been sufficiently disclosed, as well as the manner to implement it, it is not deemed necessary to extend its explanation any longer in order that any man skilled in the art comprises its extent and the advantages arising from it, and it is stated that within its essence, it can be implemented in other embodiments that differ in detail of that indicated for example purpose, and to which shall also apply the protection that is sought, provided that its main principle is not altered, changed or modified.
