Benefits of technology

[0014]Another desire of the present invention is to provide a brush cleaning system that is readily adapted for use with conventional pet brushes and removes pet hear swiftly and completely in a single removal-stroke.
[0026]According to another object of the present invention, there is provided a system, wherein: the contact surface means for engaging is positioned on a support member, a handle projecting away from the support member, whereby the handle enables an external user to readily position the contact surface means for an advantageous use.

Problems solved by technology

Unfortunately, to date none of these earlier proposed bristle-length features have been operably successful or commercially successful and the industry awaits a solution.
However, what is not appreciated by any of the previously hair removal features or constructions known in the conventional art is the need for a hair-removal system or kit that is readily adaptable to all forms of pet brush forms and which functions differently then the sliding stripper-plate embodiments in the related art.

Abstract

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.
