Publication number: 20250134243Abstract: A cleaning attachment and rotary tool for cleaning are provided. A cleaning attachment includes a housing, a plurality of bristles, and a drive shaft extending from the housing in an axial direction, the drive shaft being coupled to the housing such that rotation of the drive shaft causes rotation of the housing. The housing includes a reservoir, a valve for dispensing the fluid from the reservoir, and at least one resilient element surrounding an axis defined by the drive shaft. Translation of the drive shaft along the axial direction causes compression of the resilient element, and compression of the resilient element causes the valve to open to dispense fluid from the reservoir. A rotary tool for cleaning includes the cleaning attachment and a rotary tool having a motor, power source, and a chuck configured to receive the drive shaft of the cleaning attachment.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2023Publication date: May 1, 2025Inventors: Jeremy Fedrigon, J. Luke Jenkins, Stephen A. Hughett, Ryan Li Hao Yang, Aiden Li Zhang, Leo You Rui Li, Hank Yong Hang Huang, Guo Hua Liang
