Abstract[English]
Tool holder and tool for unblocking a toilet or dividing an extra large stool A tool (100, 200) includes a narrow, elongate, flexible blade (120, 220) extending in collinear relation from a handle (110, 210) and having oppositely directed narrow surfaces, at least one of the narrow surfaces defining a blunt cutting edge (124, 224). The blade is relatively stiff in its breadth dimension so that the blunt cutting edge or edges can be used to cut soft waste in a toilet pan (3), and relatively flexible in its thickness dimension so that the blade can be urged flexibly through the trap (2) of the toilet to clear a blockage in the trap. In a first aspect, the blade (120, 220) is stored in a narrow, tubular receptacle (310, 410) forming a holder (300, 400) for spare toilet rolls (5), wherein the handle (110, 210) forms a guide for the toilet rolls (5) stacked onto a support surface (321, 421) of the holder. In a second aspect, the blade (120, 220) includes an internal structure defining its flexibility characteristic.[French]
L'invention concene un outil (100, 200) comprenant une lame flexible étroite allongée (120, 220) s'étendant en relation colinéaire à partir d'une poignée (110, 210) et ayant des surfaces étroites dirigées de manière opposée, au moins l'une des surfaces étroites définissant un bord de coupe émoussé (124, 224). La lame est relativement rigide dans sa dimension de largeur de telle sorte que le ou les bords de coupe émoussés peuvent être utilisés pour couper des déchets mous dans une cuvette de toilettes (3), et relativement flexibles dans sa dimension d'épaisseur de telle sorte que la lame peut être poussée de manière flexible à travers le siphon (2) des toilettes pour évacuer un blocage dans le siphon. Selon un premier aspect, la lame (120, 220) est rangée dans un réceptacle tubulaire étroit (310, 410) formant un support (300, 400) pour des rouleaux de toilettes de rechange (5), la poignée (110, 210) formant un guide pour les rouleaux de toilettes (5) empilés sur une surface de support (321, 421) du support. Selon un second aspect, la lame (120, 220) comprend une structure interne définissant sa caractéristique de flexibilité.
