  • Patent number: 10582765
    Abstract: An automated brush cleaning and drying apparatus includes a housing, a cleaning solution bottle coupled to the housing and a spray nozzle, a fan coupled to the housing, a support frame assembly disposed within the housing, a rotation mechanism assembly coupled to the support frame assembly and having a rotatable claw designed to engage with the brush's end tip, and a height adjustment mechanism assembly operably coupled to the support frame assembly within the housing. The height adjustment mechanism assembly adjusts the height of the support frame assembly to a first position to permit the rotation mechanism assembly to drive the rotatable claw to rotate the brush as the spray nozzle disperses the cleaning solution from the bottle to the brush's bristles. The height adjustment mechanism assembly adjusts the height of the support frame assembly to a second position to align the brush's bristles with the fan.

  • Patent number: 9717314
    Abstract: According to various embodiments, a case for a portable electronic device (PED) includes a stand that is configured to support a PED in an upright position. The stand may be pivotally coupled to a sliding member that can move along the case's back side. The sliding member and stand may move between a first position in which the stand supports the device in an upright position and a second position in which the stand lies flush with the rear face. Thus, the stand may selectively support the case in an upright position or be compact for easy storage.
