AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The harder nylon bristles will last longer but may melt if accidentally touched to a hot surface.
With such a construction, the bristles detach easily and often end up on the food being prepared with the brush.
In addition, ordinary bristle-tipped pastry brushes are difficult to clean.
It is virtually impossible to clean each and every bristle, and therefore, impossible to remove all the build up and resin that accumulates in the brush from each use.
To date, no attempts have been made to provide a pastry brush of unitary construction and uniform composition.
Further, no attempts have been made to provide a pastry brush that is easy to clean and resistant to the sticking and clinging nature of food and other substances.

Embodiment Construction

[0012] Silicone is a term much like “plastic”—it covers a rather wide range of materials and properties. The chemistry of a particular polymer determines its characteristics, from hard and brittle varnishes, to soft and flexible rubbers.

[0013] Silicones are extremely versatile and have many uses. Technically speaking, silicones are any of a group of semi-inorganic polymers based on the structural unit R2SiO, where R is an organic group, characterized by wide-range thermal stability, high lubricity, extreme water repellence, and physiological inertness and used in adhesives, lubricants, protective coatings, paints, electrical insulation, synthetic rubber, and prosthetic replacements for body parts.

[0014]FIG. 1 shows a pastry brush in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, generally indicated by reference numeral 10, for applying various liquid substances such as egg wash, melted butter or glazes to the exterior of pastry products. The brush 10 may also be used to g...

Abstract

The present invention provides a silicone pastry brush of uniform composition and unitary construction. The pastry brush is a single, formed piece of silicone with a uniform composition throughout.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention deals with a pastry brush and more specifically, a pastry brush of uniform composition and unitary construction wherein the uniform composition includes silicone. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] A pastry brush is a small brush used for applying liquid substances used in the cooking and preparing of food. Some liquid subs,.ances that may be use include glazes, egg wash, oils, melted butter and lard. These substances may be applied directly to food either before or after baking. When applied to food, baked goods are usually involved, such as breads, pastries, cookies, etc. The brush can also be used for greasing cookware surfaces. For example, to apply a thin, even layer of a lubricating agent to a cookie sheet, cake, pan, or muffin tin. [0003] Normally, the best all-purpose size has a width of 1 to 1½ inches. Pastry brushes are usually made of nylon bristles, sterilized natural bristles or goose feathers. The harder nylon bristle...
