Abstract
The present invention 10 discloses a partially cylindrical shaped hairbrush cleaner having teeth or tines 16 projecting longitudinally from the structure 26 forming an arc on one end and a gripping handle 22 on the other end. The tines 16 are made of a material suitable to resist bending, therefore, slots 20 are made extending beyond the tine base 24 into the structural member forming flexible ribbing 18 whereby forces 36 applied to the distal end of the tines will cause them to conform to the cylindrically shaped brush being cleaned. The present invention 10 will remove debris such as hair, threads and line 38 from cylindrically shaped hairbrushes 12. The device can be provided with various shaped handles 40, 42, 44 and 50.
