  • This invention relates to a brush for cleaning and more particularly to a brush having leaned bristles for cleaning and means for automatically removing dust or the like taken up by and accumulated among the bristles and also means for collecting the dust or the like so removed from the bristles.
  • a cleaning brush provided with a brush surface having numerous short bristles closely implanted thereon and inclined or leaned in the same or one direction is known (US. Pat. No. 3,421,171 patented Jan. 14, 1969). Because of its outstanding cleaning effect, this type of cleaning brush has introduced an innovation in the conventional concept of brushes for cleaning. Thus when the brush is moved on an article to be cleaned in the direction of the inclination of the bristles and in sliding contact therewith dust, lint or the like (hereinaf ter referred to simply as dust,) is readily swept off the article and caught up among the bristles, and unless subjected to an external force, the dust is retained among the bristles against dropping.

  • This new type of brush may well be regarded as an innovation from the viewpoint of its surprising cleaning effect in contrast with a conventional brush comprising relatively long and vertical bristles which merely serve to .move dust from one place to another or to brush the dust 'off an article to be cleaned.
  • the brush of the type described above has a drawback. More specifically, although the brush achieves such an outstanding cleaning effect that the dust once swept and taken up among the bristles will not drop therefrom unless subjected to an external force, this remarkable advantage inevitably results in the necessity that the brush surface itself has to be cleaned frequently because the dust deposited or accumulated among the bristles will deteriorate the brushing action and effect. Further, in order to remove the dust accumulated in the brush surface, it has to be rubbed with considerable pressure by a cloth, tooth brush or the like in the direction of leaning of the bristles. This is not only troublesome but also undesirable since the hands will get soiled.
  • a more particular object of this invention is to provide a brush of the type described above but having means for automatically removing dust from the brush surface.
