Abstract
A brush cleaning device includes a flexible body having first and second opposed surfaces defining a top and a bottom. A plurality of different brush treatment surfaces are provided on the top of the flexible body, variously configured for washing and rinsing bristles of brushes having different sizes. A positioning element is provided on the bottom of the flexible body, configured to maintain a position of the device with respect to a work area such as a wash basin, tub or sink. A drain hole extends through the flexible body, configured to drain water from the top through the bottom of the flexible body.
Claims20
A brush treatment device comprising:
- a flexible body having first and second opposed surfaces defining a top and a bottom thereof;
- a plurality of different brush treatment surfaces provided on the top of the flexible body, the different brush treatment surfaces variously configured for each of washing and rinsing bristles of brushes having different sizes;
- at least one positioning element provided on the bottom of the flexible body, the positioning element configured to maintain a position of the device with respect to a work area;
- and
- a drain hole extending through the flexible body, the drain hole configured to drain water from the top of the flexible body through the bottom of the flexible body to the work area.
A mat device for treating bristles of relatively smaller and relatively larger brushes, the mat device comprising:
- a flexible body having a top surface, a bottom surface and a drain hole configured to drain water from the top surface through the bottom surface;
- a stress relief feature provided in a perimeter of the flexible body, the stress relief feature configured to accommodate flexing of the body with respect to a work area;
- a first plurality of different brush treatment textures provided on a first side of the drain hole, the first plurality of different brush treatment textures configured for each of washing and rinsing the bristles of the relatively smaller brushes;
- a second plurality of different brush treatment textures provided on the second side of the drain hole, the second side opposing the first side and the second plurality of different brush treatment textures configured for each of washing and rinsing the bristles of the relatively larger brushes.
A method comprising:
- positioning a flexible body in a wash basin or sink, the flexible body having a drain hole configured to drain water from a top surface of the flexible body through a bottom surface of the flexible body;
- treating bristles of relatively smaller brushes on a first side of the top surface, the first side of the top surface having different brush treatment textures configured for each of washing and rinsing the bristles of the relatively smaller brushes;
- treating bristles of relatively larger brushes on a second side of the top surface, the second side having different brush treatment textures configured for each of washing and rinsing the bristles of the relatively larger brushes;
- and
- refining the bristles of both the relatively smaller brushes and the relatively larger brushes in a medial portion of the top surface, the medial portion extending at least partially onto each of the first and second sides.
