Abstract
Disclosed is a washing attachment and washing system wherein the washing attachment includes a main body having a wall that at least partially circumscribes and defines a main conduit. A plurality of teeth extends from the wall of the main body. Each of at least some of the teeth defines therein an extending conduit being in communication with the main conduit. A plurality of openings along such teeth provides communication between the extending conduit and an external area. A plurality of bristle extensions also extend from the wall of the main body and align along the base of the teeth. In use, fluid passes from a connected hose, through the main conduit, through the extending conduits, and through the openings in the teeth to the external area to wash an object.
Claims20
A washing attachment comprising:
- a main body having a wall at least partially circumscribing and defining a main conduit;
- a plurality of teeth, each of said teeth being supported by and extending from said wall from a base to a tip, each of at least some of said teeth defining
- an extending conduit passing from said base toward said tip, each of said extending conduits being in communication with said main conduit;
- and
- a plurality of teeth openings providing communication between said extending conduits and an external area;
- a plurality of bristle extensions supported by and extending from said wall, said plurality of bristle extensions being aligned along said bases of said teeth;
- and
- a hose attachment adapter supported by said wall of said main body, said hose attachment adapter being configured to accommodate connection of said washing attachment to a hose;
- whereby, in use in connection with said hose, fluid flows from said hose, through said main conduit, through said extending conduits, and through said teeth openings to said external area.

A washing attachment comprising:
- a main body having a wall at least partially circumscribing and defining a main conduit;
- a plurality of teeth arranged in a first row along said wall of said main body, each of said teeth being supported by and extending essentially perpendicularly from said wall from a base to a tip, each of at least some of said teeth defining
- an extending conduit passing from said base toward said tip, said extending conduits being in communication with said main conduit;
- and
- a plurality of teeth openings along a front side of each of at least some of said teeth, said plurality of teeth openings providing communication between said extending conduits and an external area;
- a plurality of bristle extensions supported by and extending from said wall, said plurality of bristle extensions being aligned in at least one second row along said first row and said front sides of said teeth;
- and
- a hose attachment adapter supported by said wall of said main body, said hose attachment adapter being configured to accommodate connection of said washing attachment to a hose;
- whereby, in use in connection with said hose, fluid flows from said hose, through said main conduit, through said extending conduits, through said teeth openings toward said plurality of bristle extensions to said external area.

A washing system for washing a brush, said washing system comprising:
- a washing attachment comprising:
- a main body having a wall at least partially circumscribing and defining a main conduit;
- a plurality of teeth, each of said teeth being supported by and extending from said wall from a base to a tip, each of at least some of said teeth defining
- an extending conduit passing from said base toward said tip, said extending conduits being in communication with said main conduit;
- and
- a plurality of teeth openings providing communication between said extending conduits and an external area;
- and
- a plurality of bristle extensions supported by and extending from said wall, said plurality of bristle extensions being aligned along said bases of said plurality of teeth;
- a reservoir containing fluid;
- and
- a hose connected to said washing attachment and to said reservoir, said hose being configured to communicate said fluid from said reservoir to said main conduit within said main body of said washing attachment;
- said plurality of teeth being configured to be inserted amongst brush bristles of said brush to be washed and combed through said brush bristles;
- whereby, in use to wash said brush, fluid flows from said reservoir, through said hose, into said main conduit of said washing attachment, then into said extending conduits, then through said teeth openings to said external area where said fluid contacts debris along said brush bristles of said brush;
- and
- whereby
- said teeth;
- said fluid from said teeth openings;
- and
- said plurality of bristle extensions
- come into contact with and encourage removal of debris along said brush bristles as said washing attachment is combed through said brush bristles.
