Patent number: 10730487Abstract: A brush having manual or automatic operation for maintenance of mechanical rims or any object placed on top of the rims. Access to the inside of the rims is difficult due to the obstacle that the spokes and the brake disc constitute, whereby cleaning is often imperfect and residual dirt remains despite the broad range of existing products. A perfectly clean rim requires tedious cleaning using unsuitable brushes or cloths, at the price of one or more hand injuries. A brush is provided in a kit made up of elements that can be associated with one another. A horizontal body is associated with a main vertical body or a secondary vertical body, allowing areas that are difficult to access and the arms of the rim to be cleaned in a single movement without the hand ever touching any part of the wheel, thus avoiding injuries and saving time.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2016Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Inventor: Jean Max Yao Dibi
