20080295270 | Suction brush for vacuum cleaner - A suction brush for a vacuum cleaner includes blocking members mounted front and rear, to a brush body bottom surface to seal off the periphery of a suction inlet formed thereon and to generate a high suction force between a surface to be cleaned and the suction inlet during cleaning, wherein the front blocking member is pivotably mounted to the brush body when one end thereof is connected thereto, and includes blocking arms to maintain the high suction force between the suction inlet and the surface to be cleaned while being alternately brought into close contact therewith when the brush body moves forwards or backwards; and the first blocking arm includes a plurality of air suction apertures to restrict passage of air flowing into the suction inlet while the first blocking arm is in close contact with the surface to be cleaned when the brush body moves forwards. | 12-04-2008 |
20090139042 | Paint brush cleaner and method - An apparatus for cleaning a paint brush and preventing a discharge of harmful and flammable vapors into the environment. In a first embodiment, a housing has an open top portion, vertical front, side and rear walls, and a bottom wall. The vertical front, side and rear walls have upper edge portions in a common horizontal plane for providing a seat for a seal. The open upper portion of the housing is sealed by a cover that mates with an upper surface of the soft cellular seal. The cover and resilient cellular seal cover have aligned apertures for receiving in a pass through sealing relationship a handle of a paint brush. In a second embodiment, a cylindrical housing has an open top portion which is sealed by threadably engaging a cover with a resilient cellular seal therebetween. The cover and resilient cellular seal cover have aligned apertures for receiving in a pass through sealing relationship a handle of a paint brush. | 06-04-2009 |
20090211046 | APPARATUS FOR CLEANING THE HEAD OF A GOLF CLUB - An apparatus for cleaning heads of golf clubs has a substantially upstanding housing having an upper end, a lower end and a wall structure interconnecting the two and defining a chamber. At least one portal is formed in the wall structure. The portals may be slot-like or may have a curvilinear configuration such as a circle or ellipse. A set of brushes extends from the interior of the upper end into the chamber. An opposing set of brushes extends from the interior of the lower end into the chamber. The terminal ends of the two sets of brushes define a substantially narrow passageway in alignment with the portals. At least one of the upper and lower sets of brushes has a plurality of bristle zones wherein the brush bristles of one bristle zone are of a different length and rigidity than the brush bristles of a different bristle zone. | 08-27-2009 |
20110154596 | VACUUM BRUSH HAVING RETRACTABLE BRISTLES - A brush that may be used as a vacuum brush in a vacuum cleaner may comprise a housing having a plurality of openings, a plurality of bristles, and a mechanism that is moveable to a first position and a second position for controlling the plurality of bristles. If the mechanism is moved to the first position, the plurality of bristles may extend out of the housing through the plurality of openings on the housing. If the mechanism is moved to the second position, at least a portion of the plurality of bristles may retract into the housing. | 06-30-2011 |
20140059793 | HAIR BRUSH HAVING RETRACTABLE BRISTLES - It comprises a handle made up of two parts aligned along a shaft - | 03-06-2014 |
20150121638 | RETRACTABLE COSMETIC IMPLEMENT WITH MULTIPLE POSITIONS - A retractable cosmetic implement may be movable between multiple different use positions. In one example, the cosmetic implement may include a housing elongated along a longitudinal axis, a multi-stop positioning mechanism disposed within the housing, an applicator coupled to the positioning mechanism at a first end of the housing, and a push-button for engaging the positioning mechanism, the push-button disposed at a second end of the housing. By actuating the positioning mechanism, the applicator may move through an opening to a partially extended position and/or a fully extended position from a retracted position. The applicator may have a material characteristic, such as a density of bristles, affected by its position relative to a rim of the opening applying a force against the applicator. | 05-07-2015 |
20160022022 | METHOD TO MEASURE AND/OR ADJUST COMBING RESISTANCE BY USING A BRUSH - Disclosed herein is a method to measure and/or adjust combing resistance of fibers by using a brush, wherein the brush comprises: a brush handle; a brush head connecting to the brush handle and comprising a substrate and bristles which are mounted on the substrate, wherein a certain number of the bristles are movable; an activation means which moves the movable bristles from their original positions to different positions; wherein the brush further comprises at least one of the following: a cover for the brush head which is movable between an open position and a closed position, which internal surface can closely face to the tips of the bristles in its closed position, and which has a gap between the substrate and its side ends in its closed position; an indication to match at least one position of the movable bristles to at least one fiber type and/or at least one treatment type; or the combination thereof. By the use of the above brush device, it becomes easier to measure and/or adjust combing resistance of a variety of fiber types. | 01-28-2016 |
