Abstract
A reciprocating wire brush is provided with a shank portion to which is attached metal bristles, the shank portion being adapted to be received by and secured to a reciprocating saw chuck in the same manner as a traditional reciprocating saw blade, and the device being useful in cleaning metal or other surfaces for which a manually operated wire brush would be used.
Description
- Not Applicable
- The present invention does not involve any form of federally sponsored research or development.
- The present invention relates to the field of power tool attachments, and more specifically to wire brush attachments for reciprocating saws. These types of attachments are generally known in the art, as exemplified by U.S. Pat. No. 6,237,179 B1 to Balceiro.
- The device disclosed in the Balceiro patent, while adequate to perform the function of a wire brush attachment, is deficient in some respects relating to wire brush function within small spaces and to manufacturing cost considerations. Consequently, there exists a need to improve upon its basic design limitations. It is the objective of the present invention to provide a wire brush attachment for reciprocating saws that will function more satisfactorily in confined spaces, as well as provide a design that is less expensive to manufacture.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide a cost-effective device comprising a wire brush attachment adapted to fit the chuck of conventional reciprocating saws such as jigsaws and sawzalls.
- FIG. 1 is a view of the device attached to a reciprocating saw, a jig saw in this drawing.
- FIG. 2 is a lateral view of the device.
- FIG. 3 is a view from the first end of the device toward the second end of the device demonstrating one possible embodiment of bristle shape, namely a wedge shape.
- FIG. 4 is a view from the first end of the device toward the second end of the device demonstrating one possible embodiment of bristle shape, namely a flat shape.
- FIG. 5 is a view from the first end of the device toward the second end of the device demonstrating one possible embodiment of bristle shape, namely a rounded shape.
- FIG. 6 is a view from the first end of the device toward the second end of the device demonstrating one possible embodiment of bristle shape, namely an angled flat shape.
- This invention is directed to a Reciprocating Wire Brush50. The Reciprocating Wire Brush 50 comprises a
shank portion 10 andbristles 30. Theshank portion 10 has a first end 12 and asecond end 14, and has afront side 16 and aback side 18. The first end 12 of the shank can be adapted to be secured by a chuck of a reciprocatingtype saw 40, such as a “sawzall” and a jigsaw. - The
bristles 30 can be attached to thefront side 16 of thesecond end 14 of theshank 10. Thebristles 30 can alternatively be attached to theback side 18 of thesecond end 14 of theshank 10. - The
bristles 30 can be constructed of metal wire. Thebristles 30 further comprise afirst end 31 and asecond end 33. Thefirst end 31 of the bristles can be attached to theshank 10, and thesecond end 33 can be adapted to engage an object to be brushed. Thesecond end 33 of the bristles can be constructed so as to form a flat shape when viewed from the first end of the device toward the second end of the device, as shown in FIG. 4. Alternatively, thesecond end 33 of the bristles can be constructed so as to form a wedge-shape as shown in FIG. 3, an angled flat shape as shown in FIG. 6, and a rounded shape as shown in FIG. 5, when viewed from the first end of the device toward the second end of the device.
