Abstract
A shoe sole cleaning device may include a fluid reservoir capsule having an inner chamber for containing a cleaning solution. The shoe cleaning device may also include a trough and a fluid pump operably connected to a fluid exit port of the fluid reservoir capsule to pump the cleaning solution from the fluid exit port to the trough. A brush may be disposed partially within the trough such that some of its bristles are at least partially submersible in the cleaning solution in the trough. A motor may cause the brush to rotate about an axial shaft picking up the cleaning solution from the trough to clean a shoe's sole. A fluid recycle conduit may transport the cleaning solution from the trough back to the inner chamber of the fluid reservoir capsule when the cleaning solution in the trough reaches a predetermined height.

A shoe sole cleaning device comprising:
- a fluid reservoir capsule having an inner chamber for containing a cleaning solution, a fluid exit port and a fluid recycle port;
- a trough having a rim;
- a fluid pump operably connected to the fluid exit port of the fluid reservoir capsule and configured to pump the cleaning solution from the fluid exit port of the fluid reservoir capsule to the trough;
- a brush having bristles and operably connected to an axial shaft, the brush disposed partially within the trough such that some of the bristles are at least partially submersible in the cleaning solution in the trough;
- a motor operably connected to the axial shaft and configured to cause the brush to rotate about the axial shaft;
- a fluid recycle conduit having an inflow end adjacent to or below the rim of the trough and an outflow end adjacent the fluid recycle port of the fluid reservoir capsule, and configured to transport the cleaning solution from the trough to the fluid recycle port when the cleaning solution in the trough reaches a predetermined height.
