  • Patent number: 6584638
    Abstract: A mesh brush has a handle and a mesh sponge is fixed to one side of the head of the handle. The head of the handle flares out from and is wider than a grasping portion of the handle. The particular attachment between the mesh sponge and the head of the handle is accomplished by wrapping a cord around the mesh sponge and threading the cord through multiple eyelets distributed around the head. A rim around the perimeter of the head produces a recess on one side thereof. The portion of the cord looped around the mesh sponge fits within the perimeter of the head and can be at least partially recessed within the head.

  • Patent number: 6574822
    Abstract: A dual brush assembly has a detail brush that is removably attached to a scrub brush. The scrub brush has a footing to which a bristle block is attached. The bristle block includes a plurality of brush bristles that form a substantially flat bristle surface and a curved bristle surface. The detail brush has a brush head with a plurality of bristles forming a smaller surface area than the curved bristle surface and forming a substantially smaller surface area than the flat bristle surface. The detail brush conformably fits into a recess in a grip of the scrub brush, and the recess has a sloped surface to receive the brush head. The detail brush also has a pressure pad that flares out to cover the brush head. In the attached position, the pressure pad substantially covers the recess and provides a ridge for detaching the detail brush from the scrub brush. In the detached position, the pressure pad provides a platform for a user's thumb or forefinger.
