Claims20
A cleaning brush for cleaning a tool comprising:
- a first rigid base part and a second rigid base part, each base part having first and second opposite ends and first and second side wall surfaces extending between the first and second opposite ends thereby defining opposite first and second faces, and further having bristles extending from the respective first face, wherein the first faces are parallel to each other, and free ends of the bristles extending from the first rigid base part face free ends of the bristles extending from the second base part;
- a coupler extending and attached between the first faces of the base parts such that a first set of the bristles is provided on each base part on a first side of the coupler and a second set of the bristles is provided on each base part on a second side of the coupler, the coupler preventing movement of the base parts relative to each other, wherein the coupler is devoid of bristles;
- and
- an opening extending continuously between the first ends of the base parts, between the first side wall surfaces of the base parts and between the second ends of the base parts, wherein the tool is configured to be inserted through the opening such that a first side of the tool is configured to contact the bristles extending from the first base part, a second side of the tool is configured to contact the bristles extending from the second base part and an edge of the tool is configured to contact the coupler.

- a coupler provided at a midpoint of the first and second base parts and extending between the base parts such that a first set of the bristles is provided on each base part on a first side of the coupler and a second set of the bristles is provided on each base part on a second side of the coupler, wherein free ends of the bristles in the first sets face each other, and free ends of the bristles in the second sets face each other, the coupler preventing movement of the base parts relative to each other, wherein the coupler is devoid of bristles;
- wherein the bristles in the first sets are longer than the bristles in the second sets;
- and
- an opening extending continuously between the first ends of the base parts, between the first side wall surfaces of the base parts and between the second ends of the base parts, wherein the tool is configured to be inserted through the opening such that a first side of the tool is configured to contact the bristles extending from the first base part, a second side of the tool is configured to contact the bristles extending from the second base part and an edge of the tool is configured to contact the coupler.
