Convertible multi-purpose brush assembly

A convertible multi-purpose brush assembly characterized by providing a multiplicity of working surface for a variety of tasks and versatility and ease in conversion for various uses;

• said brush member comprising:
• a generally cylindrical support shaft means having a predetermined diameter;
• a generally cylindrical, flexible, resilient brush member having a predetermined outside diameter and providing an outside working surface of a predetermined character for performing certain tasks and having at least one substantially unobstructed end, said brush member comprising a spiralled, flexible, resilient brush member defining a hollow interior having an initial predetermined diameter less than the diameter of said support shaft means, said brush member being force-fitted on said support shaft means to prevent relative displacement during use thereof but allowing disengagement of said brush member from said support shaft means for cleaning and replacement;
• a desired plurality of sleeve members each defining a hollow, generally cylindrical interior having a predetermined inside diameter less than the outside diameter of said brush member and each providing an outside working surface of a different predetermined character than said working surface of said brush member and different from each other for performing certain different tasks;
• and
• said sleeve members being selectively and removably force-fitted one at a time on and around said brush member from said substantially unobstructed end thereof due to the resilience and flexibility thereof and the difference in the diameters to prevent relative displacement between said members during use of said brush assembly and for providing said brush assembly selectively with said outside working surfaces of said sleeve members, while allowing easy replacement of said sleeve members on and removal of said sleeve members from said brush member for converting said brush assembly and selectively providing said brush assembly with said outside working surfaces of said sleeve members and said brush member.

A convertible multi-purpose brush assembly for attachment to a home appliance such as a rotary drill, mixmaster, etc., for being driven thereby and being characterized by providing a multiplicity of working surfaces for a variety of tasks and versatility and ease in conversion for various uses;

• said brush assembly comprising:
• a support shaft means having means thereon for reception by a suitable home appliance to be rotated thereby;
• a generally cylindrical, flexible, resilient brush member mounted on said support shaft means and having a predetermined outside diameter and providing an outside working surface of a predetermined character for performing certain tasks and having at least one substantially unobstructed end;
• a desired plurality of sleeve members each defining a hollow, generally cylindrical interior having a predetermined inside diameter less than the outside diameter of said brush member and providing an outside working surface of a different predetermined character than said working surface of said brush member and different from each other for performing certain different tasks;
• said sleeve members being selectively and removably force-fitted one at a time on and around said brush member from said substantially unobstructed end thereof due to the resilience and flexibility thereof and the difference in the diameters to prevent relative displacement between said members during use of said brush member and for providing said brush member selectively with said outside working surfaces of said sleeve members, while allowing easy replacement of said sleeve members on and removal of said sleeve members from said brush member for converting said brush assembly and providing said brush assembly with said outside working surfaces of said sleeve members and said brush member;
• and
• and end cap member removably secured to the outer longitudinal end portion of said brush member and having an outside working surface of a predetermined character for performing certain different tasks and providing additional versatility to said brush assembly.

A convertible multi-purpose brush assembly for manual use by an operator and being characterized by providing a multiplicity of working surfaces for a variety of tasks and versatility and ease in conversion for various uses;

• said brush assembly comprising
• a support shaft means including a first cylindrical member having a handle portion on one end thereof for manual gripping by an operator for holding said brush assembly and a second hollow cylindrical member telescopingly received on said first member for rotation relative thereto or for being fixed thereto;
• a generally cylindrical, flexible, resilient brush member fixedly mounted on said second cylindrical member of said support shaft means and having a predetermined outside diameter and providing an outside working surface of a predetermined character for performing certain tasks;
• a desired number of sleeve members each defining a hollow, generally cylindrical interior having a predetermined inside diameter less than the outside diameter of said brush member and providing an outside working surface of a different predetermined character than said working surface of said brush member and different from each other for performing certain tasks;
• said sleeve members being selectively force-fitted on and around said brush member due to the resilience and flexibility thereof and the difference in the diameters to prevent relative displacement between said members during use of said brush member and for providing said brush member selectively with said outside working surfaces of said sleeve members, while allowing easy replacement of said sleeve members on and removal of said sleeve member from said brush member for converting said brush assembly and providing said brush assembly with said outside working surfaces of said sleeve members and said brush member;
• and
• braking means operatively associated with said support shaft means for selectively allowing relative rotation between said shaft members for providing a rotary brush assembly or for preventing relative rotation between said shaft members for providing a non-rotary brush assembly.
