Claims16
A tail sweep for cleaning a pool, comprising:
- a hose, the hose comprising a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is operable to be coupled to an automated pool cleaner;
- at least one ring disposed around the hose;
- a brush comprising:
- an emission hole configured to expel liquid;
- an at least partially hollow body defining a mouth and a conduit, wherein:
- the mouth has a first diameter that is greater in size than a diameter of the at least one ring;
- the conduit extends from an interior portion of the mouth to the emission hole;
- and
- a plurality of bristles projecting from the at least partially hollow body;
- a means for coupling the brush to the at least one ring in a manner that facilitates rotation of the brush about the hose, wherein the means for coupling is configured to:
- deform from a static shape to a deformed shape to allow passage of the ring and the second end of the hose into the mouth;
- and
- retake the static shape upon the passage of the ring and the second end of the hose, whereby retaking the static shape retains the ring and second end of the hose within the mouth.
