Abstract
A cleaning mechanism for spray and aerosol nozzles comprising a cap and a plurality of cleaning members where the cleaning members are affixed to the internal surface of the cap in one or more different arrangements covering at least a portion of each of the vertical height of the internal surface and the internal circumference. The cleaning mechanism may be configured as fixed within a cap or as a standalone cap attachment that is inserted and/or detached from the cap for use. The cleaning members may comprise brush members, plastic members, or members made of other materials.
Claims26
A cleaning mechanism comprising:
- a cap that defines a cavity and comprises an external surface area and an internal surface area, where the internal surface area further comprises a vertical height and an internal circumference;
- and
- a plurality of cleaning members arranged along at least a portion of the internal circumference and the vertical height of the internal surface area, where the plurality of cleaning members are configured to interact with one or more nozzles of a canister for cleaning.
A cleaning mechanism comprising:
- a cap attachment that defines a cavity and comprises an external surface area and an internal surface area, where the internal surface area further comprises a vertical height and an internal circumference;
- and
- a plurality of cleaning members arranged along at least a portion of the internal circumference and the vertical height of the internal surface area, where the plurality of cleaning members are configured to interact with one or more nozzles of a canister for cleaning.
An assembly comprising:
- a canister comprising one or more nozzles;
- a cap that defines a cavity and comprises an external surface area and an internal surface area, where the internal surface area further comprises a vertical height and an internal circumference;
- and
- a plurality of cleaning members arranged along at least a portion of the internal circumference and the vertical height of the internal surface area, where the plurality of cleaning members are configured to interact with the one or more nozzles of the canister for cleaning.
A method for cleaning comprising:
- providing a cleaning mechanism, where the cleaning mechanism:
- defines a cavity and comprises an external surface area and an internal surface area, where the internal surface area further comprises a vertical height and an internal circumference, and
- wherein the cleaning mechanism further comprises a plurality of cleaning members arranged along at least a portion of the internal circumference and the vertical height of the internal surface area, where the plurality of cleaning members are configured to interact with the one or more nozzles of a canister;
- affixing the cleaning mechanism to the canister in a manner that permits the cleaning members make contact with the one or more nozzles;
- and
- moving the cleaning mechanism in at least one of a vertical, horizontal, and rotational manner so that the cleaning members clean the nozzle.
