Conventional paintbrushes usually consist of a handle and a permanently attached brush-head. While the brush-head often has a short lifespan due to bristle wear, the handle can last much longer. However, because of their permanent connection, both parts are typically discarded once the brush-head deteriorates. The current invention addresses this problem by featuring a paintbrush with a brush-head that is removably connected to the handle, allowing for easy attachment and detachment without requiring tools or altering either component. This invention also outlines specific techniques and mechanisms to ensure a durable yet detachable connection between the brush-head and handle, achieved cost-effectively and without significantly complicating the design of either part.
A paintbrush comprising at least two separate members, a brush-head (4) and a handle (9), said brush-head (4) having a collar (5) and connection cavity (6) adapted to receive portion (11) of the handle (9) by non-rotational sliding, whereby mere friction between side surface (7) and/or base surface (8) of the brush-head's connection cavity (6) and the surface of the proximate portion (11) of the handle (9) forms a removable connection between brush-head (4) and handle (9) when these are in a connected state, characterized by a soft friction enhancing cushioning material (22) applied onto either the surface of the proximate portion (11) of the handle (9) or the surface of the brush-head's (4) connection cavity (6) or both for increased frictional connection between brush-head (4) and handle (9).
