Brush with rotating head

Abstract

The present invention is a brush head that rotates to at least two locked positions on a noncoaxial axis relative to the longitudinal or length-wise axis of the handle. A locking trigger is provided to hold and release the rotating head. A brush head is attached to end of the rotating head. In one version, the handle includes a flat cap sixed to support the brush to prevent the brush head from contacting a counter or other supporting surface.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The field of the present invention is brushes, more specifically brushes used to wash devices, and still more specifically, brushes used to wash items having different shapes and sizes.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Dishes and other items washed by hand can be found in different shapes and sizes. For example, plates, saucers, and baking sheets are flat or relatively flat. Other dishes are curved or have walls and bottoms such as cups, drinking glasses, and goblets as well as pots and measuring cups.[0003]Brushes are often useful in hand washing dishes. Brushes can make cleaning dishes easier, especially pots, pans, plates, etc. that have baked on residue from cooking or previous improper cleaning. However, brushes have a straight handle with the brush extending straight from the end of the handle in a roughly coaxial orientation. Due to the shape of some dishes, it can be awkward to wash some dishes using a brush with the usual coaxial orientation. Conv...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The technical effect of this patent is to provide a brush that can be used efficiently on both flat items and vessels such as glasses and cups.

Problems solved by technology

Due to the shape of some dishes, it can be awkward to wash some dishes using a brush with the usual coaxial orientation.

Conversely, brushes at a different angle relative to the handle will not be efficient in washing other types of dishes.

In both cases, whether full force of the brush cannot be applied to the residue or the brush cannot reach all the residue, the full efficiency of the brush is lost due to the specific angle orientation of the brush relative to its handle.

While two brushes with different orientations can be used, it is often awkward and inefficient to use two brushes during a particular dishing washing session and two brushes will obviously occupy more storage space than a single brush.
