Abstract
Systems and methods of cleaning toilets are described; the system includes a structural frame, a foldable arm extendible from the structural frame and a rotatable brush, accommodated while being folded within and retracted into the foldable arm, at an idle state, while protruded from the foldable arm and being sprawl, during the operation of a cleansing cycle.
Claims19
A system for cleaning toilets comprises:
- (a) a pedestal, configured for mounting said system thereon;
- (b) a structural frame of said system, attached to said pedestal, said structural frame comprising a pivoting joint;
- (c) a foldable arm, mounted onto said pivoting joint of said structural frame, wherein said foldable arm is configurable to assume:
- (i) a folded conformation, wherein a distal end of said foldable arm is disposed essentially adjacently to said structural frame, and
- (ii) an unfolded conformation, wherein said distal end of said foldable arm is disposed away from said structural frame;
- (d) an electrical power source, selected from the group consisting of:
- an electrical battery and connection to electric grid;
- (e) a main control unit, comprising a user interface, configured for actuating a cleansing cycle of said system;
- (f) a geared motor, operatively connected to said electrical power source and said main control unit;
- (g) a rotatable brush, rotationally coupled to a rotor of said geared motor, said rotatable brush is configurable to assume:
- (i) a folded conformation, wherein said rotatable brush is essentially retracted into and accommodated within said foldable arm, while bristles thereof are folded within said foldable arm;
- (ii) a deployed conformation, wherein said rotatable brush is protracted from said distal end of said foldable arm and said bristles thereof are sprawl and configured to engage to an inner surface of a toilet bowl.

A method of cleaning toilets comprises:
- (a) providing a toilet cleaning system comprising:
- (I) a structural frame comprising a pivoting joint;
- (II) a foldable arm, mounted onto said pivoting joint;
- (III) a main control unit, comprising a user interface, configured for actuating a cleansing cycle of said system;
- (IV) a geared motor, operatively connected to said main control unit;
- (V) a rotatable brush, rotationally coupled to a rotor of said geared motor;
- (b) conferring to said foldable arm a folded conformation, wherein a distal end of said foldable arm is disposed essentially adjacently to said structural frame;
- (c) conferring to said foldable arm an unfolded conformation, wherein said distal end of said foldable arm is disposed away from said structural frame;
- (d) driving said rotatable brush into a folded conformation, wherein said rotatable brush is essentially retracted into and accommodated within said foldable arm, while bristles thereof are folded within said foldable arm;
- (e) driving said rotatable brush into a deployed conformation, wherein said rotatable brush is protracted from said distal end of said foldable arm and said bristles thereof are sprawl and configured to engage to an inner surface of a toilet bowl.
