The present invention relates to a pet brush cleaning system and method for using the same. The system provides at least a first bristle-contact surface for aiding the removal of strands, fibers, or filaments from entraining bristle members on a pet brush. An alternative construction involves a readily transportable brush cleaning kit incorporating a region for storing a pet brush and a removed-pet-hair retaining region that readily facilitates the use of multiple pet-brush cleanings proximate the bristle-contact surface and prevents the detrimental build-up of removed hair during repeated use.

A toothbrush holder designed to be used in combination with disposable cleaning fluid cartridges. The toothbrush holder includes a main storage compartment that is divided into compartments that are configured to receive the disposable cleaning fluid cartridges and a storage area. The main storage compartment is provided with a cover that includes apertures that are aligned over the disposable cleaning fluid cartridge receiving compartments so that toothbrushes can be inserted though the apertures in the cover and into disposable cleaning fluid cartridges. The disposable cleaning fluid cartridges are sized and complementary shaped to be received in the disposable cleaning fluid cartridge receiving compartments. The disposable cleaning fluid cartridges include openable sealed ends and are filled with a cleaning solution. Either the apertures in the cover or the disposable cleaning fluid cartridges are provided with sealing members though which toothbrushes can be inserted.

A germicidal toothbrush and cleaner that uses a germicidal light source to disinfect the individual bristles on the toothbrush. The toothbrush includes bristles made of optical fibers capable of transmitting ultraviolet light. There is also a special method of attachment of the toothbrush inside the cleaner that secures the toothbrushes in a set position in the holder. The germicidal light source may be a germicidal fluorescent ultraviolet lamp. The light rays from the germicidal light source are directed at the opposite ends of the bristle at the critical angle, or slightly greater than the critical angle, in order to attain total internal reflection of the light down the bristles of the toothbrushes.

Flasks 10, 110, 210 and 310 serve as a storage container for toothbrushes 2, 2A and serve are reservoirs for a treating solution, such as a cleaner, which can be used to clean, deodorize, sanitize, decontaminate or otherwise treat the toothbrush between brushings. Flask 10 has an upper section 14 separated from a lower section 22 by an intermediate section 18, which contains a constricted throat 20. A toothbrush 2 in an inverted position would be supported by an inwardly tapered surface 16 above the constricted throat 20. Toothbrush bristles 6 would be located in the enlarged lower section 22, which serves as a reservoir for the treating solution. The constricted throat 22 can be sealed so that overpressure in the lower section can enhance the action of the treating solution. A covered flask 110 can also be used to store or merchandise the toothbrush.

The periphery of a metal rotating shaft is covered with elastic foam material and the peripheral surface of the elastic foam material is coated with conductive adhesive. Before the layer of conductive adhesive hardens, a plurality of bristles is embedded vertically into the smooth material made of a layer of conductive adhesive, thus forming a bristle-embedded layer upon the periphery of the smooth material. Thereafter, the conductive adhesive to become the smooth material is hardened. Alternately, a metal shaft with an outside diameter slightly smaller than the inside diameter of the tube is inserted into the interior of the conductive tube, the tube is heated to cause heat shrinkage, thus tightly adhering the tube to the metal shaft, so that the metal shaft maintains the cylindrical shape of the tube. After the tube is coated with conductive adhesive, it is spirally wrapped with conductive brush cloth cut into strips. At this time, the tube is kept in a cylindrical shape, so the brush cloth is also kept wrapped in a cylindrical shape. The tube is removed from the metal shaft. The periphery of a rotating shaft is coated with elastic material, and the elastic material is pressed into the inside of the tube. Thus, as the charging brush rotates, the brushes of the charging brush are pressed against the contact face of the elastic foam material. At this time, the small holes in the contact face of the elastic foam material remove any developer or other fouling material adhering to the plurality of brushes of the charging brush, and the developer or other fouling material thus removed is transferred to the small holes in the contact face, and thus the bristles of the charging brush are cleaned from near their bases. Continuing on, the bristles of the charging brush are pressed against the smooth surface of the slide plate, thus aligning the bristles of the charging brush in the circumferential direction.

A power-brush apparatus has a housing, a brush rotatable on the housing about a brush axis and having bristles extending generally radially of the axis, and a drive that rotates the brush in a working direction about the axis and thereby orbits tips of the bristles about the axis. Thus when in use the brush is rotated in this working direction. A support immediately adjacent the housing carries a rigid grinding wheel having an abrasive outer surface. This wheel is biased radially against the bristle tips to sharpen and clean them while a drive relatively displaces the bristle tips and the grinding-wheel surface while the wheel is urged against the bristle tips such that the grinding wheel surface primarily engages rear sides of the bristle tips turned away from the working direction.

The Paint Brush Scrubber is a two sided device, for left and right handed use. It has a multiple notched scrub board on each side and a semicircular cutout on one edge. It cleans regulator and sponge paint brushes, paint rollers, and paint pad applicators. Can also be used to clean other types of brushes and other things including clothes etc. The size of the scrubber can vary from a size for an artist brush to the size of a house painters 4″ brush. It has a hole in handle so it can be stored with your paint brushes. It is safe to use and will never require parts or service. Paint brushes are cleaned by scrubbing action, which separates the bristles, cleaning quickly and easily, without getting your hands dirty. As the brush being cleaned it cleans the scrubber, so when the brush is clean the scrubber is also clean. The bristles are combed back into shape after cleaning using the cutout and scrub board. The scrubber also cleans paint rollers by scraping off most of paint into the paint container, using the semicircular cutout area of the scrubber, than scrubbing off the rest using the scrub board. Paint pad applicators are also cleaned using the scrub board.
摘要:
A flotation device for suspending bristles of a manual applicator brush in liquid having a foam body made of material resilient to chemical solvent degradation for flotation upon the liquid. The device has an aperture through the foam body sized and shaped for frictionally engaging a handle portion of the manual applicator brush during use. The aperture is positioned within the foam body to maintain substantial submersion of the bristles of the first manual applicator brush within the liquid. In another embodiment, the device has a plurality of different sized apertures through the foam body for receiving a plurality of manual applicator brushes.

A cleaning apparatus includes a substrate with outward projecting bristles extending through a sheet or scrim impaled over the bristles. The substrate may be mounted on a support which may carry a handle. The sheets may be single sheets arranged in a stack over the bristles on one or more surfaces of the substrate or a roll of separable sheets disposed over the bristles.
