  • Patent number: 4763380
    Abstract: A device for cleaning the top surface of beverage cans is formed from a circular disk provided with symmetrical openings and has a plurality of bristles extending downwardly from a bottom surface thereof. A cylindrical sidewall surrounds the bristles and a bottom circular edge of the cylindrical sidewall extends downwardly past the ends of the bristles. First and second radially spaced circular brush portions are formed of a diameter to engage the gutters formed on two different standard beverage cans. Radially extending brush portions are positioned to clean the flat top surface of beverage containers. In use, the circular plate is placed on top of a beverage can, with the bristles extending downwardly and engaging the top surface of the beverage can. Water is then allowed to run through the openings, while the circular plate is rotated back and forth with the bristles in engagement with the beverage can. This results in a thorough cleaning of the top surface of the beverage can.
