Abstract: A cleaning apparatus and system for removing debris from a surface of a plate. The apparatus has a cleaning area and a pair of brushes disposed in the cleaning area with the bristles of a first brush facing toward the bristles of the second brush so that debris is scraped off the plate as the plate is pushed through the bristles. The cleaning area may be defined by a container or an opening in a work surface. Brush mounting mechanisms mount the brushes to opposing sidewalls of the container or opposing interior surfaces of the opening. Preferably, the brush mounting mechanisms and brushes are cooperatively configured so the bristles of the brushes overlap each other where the plate will be pushed through the bristles. The mounting mechanisms may comprise a clip that engages a sidewall or an attachment mechanism that engages the interior surface. The system includes the apparatus.

Abstract: A portable, hands-free device for cleaning a cooking utensil includes a motor, a battery electrically coupled to the motor, and scrub brushes mechanically coupled to the motor.

Abstract: A dishwasher that uses the abrasive force of brushes to clean dishes. The dish is held in place from the top by a rack made of parallel bars so the top oscillating brush can pass through the rack and clean the outside of the dish. The dish is held in place below by the axle of the bottom rotating brush so the brush rotates to clean the inside of the dish. The dishwasher also consists of a rotating rack that holds the dish in place at the start and during the rinse cycle. The rotating rack consists of bars that support the dish, water slot to guide rinse water to the rinse chamber, and a moving cover that regulates the flow of the washing fluids to appropriate chambers.

Abstract: Provided is a pan cleaner, comprising a cleaning portion, a brush sweeping portion having a cleaning component and a driving portion; wherein the cleaning portion provides cleaning fluid for a pan, the cleaning component is contacted with an inner surface of the pan, so as to brush the inner surface of the pan, and the driving portion is connected to and drives the brush sweeping portion. The pan cleaner of the invention can effectively remove residues in a pan, and thus decreases labor intensity of a chef and increases hygiene quality.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for cleaning residual powder and other contaminants from external surfaces of pressed powder cosmetic pans before the pans are adhered into the compact. A feed chute feeds pans into a feed path in the apparatus one after another in an upright orientation. The feed path includes two cleaning stations, each provided with brushes for scrubbing the pan. One cleaning station has cylindrical or drum brushes to scrub the bottom of each pan. The other cleaning station has a belt-type brush to scrub the sides of each pan. Dust collection systems are suspended above and below the apparatus at appropriate locations along the feed path to collect the residual powder and contaminants removed from the pans. Belts may be provided within the feed path to move the pans through the cleaning stations.

Abstract: A device for cleaning dishes comprising a support having an elongated base horizontally disposed at its lower extent with an outboard end and an inboard end. A connector is essentially vertically disposed between a central extent of the base and one end of the support. The connector has a region at its upper extent with a hole therethrough. Angled fingers extend upwardly at an angle from adjacent the outboard end of the base and angled away from the inboard end of the base to define slots with open upper ends therebetween. The slots have interior surfaces with bristles formed therein extending toward the vertical centers of the slots for receiving dishes to be cleaned therebetween.

Abstract: A ultrastreamlined, adaptable, stationary pot-scrubbing machine comprising a motor positioned in any desirable location beneath a sink, a flexible shaft coupled with the motor, a positioning neck comprising an arched tube rotatably mounting a scrubbing member in a substantially vertical or downturned position for the scrubbing axis and internally housing the flexible shaft to couple with the scrubbing member, and a base supporting the positioning neck adjacent to the sink, whereby said stationary pot-scrubbing machine is adaptable to any sink, and permits pots and pans to be cleaned in an upright, unobstructed manner, visible to the user so particular food deposits can be targeted for scrubbing.

Abstract: Apparatus for removing particulate material from the surface of an article of flat or hollow ware comprises spaced endless belt members adapted to engage the opposite edges of the article, mechanism for driving the belt members at the same peripheral speed alternately in the same direction and in opposite directions whereby to deliver the article to a brushing position and rotate the article in the brushing position, and mechanism for brushing the opposite surfaces of the article during rotation of the article in the brushing position.

Abstract: A cup washing machine includes a first transmission shaft and a second transmission shaft respectively coupled to a motor drive by a set of gears, a third transmission shaft eccentrically coupled to the second transmission shaft, a first cylinder brush and a second cylinder brush respectively coupled to the first and third transmission shafts, a toothed lock block controlled by a lock control knob to lock the third transmission in a desired angular position for permitting the pitch between the first and second cylinder brushes to be adjustably set. A detergent dispensing can with a dispensing tube is mounted on the housing of the machine and controlled to disperse detergent to the cylinder brushes for cleaning cups.

Abstract: A horizontal cup washing machine comprising a fan motor to drive a plurality of tube brushes to rotate via a gear power transmission mechanism and a plurality of output shafts. The casing of the machine has a plurality of tube brush holder means for holding the tube brushes permitting the tube brushes to be dried by the air when they are not in use. An elongated recess and a plate spring are made on the bottom edge of the casing of the machine so that it can be conveniently attached to the casing of a water faucet by a lock screw.

Abstract: A corn silking apparatus designed to remove the silk from ears of corn, which is characterized by a housing containing a drive gear and a driven, or idler gear. The drive gear is driven by an electric motor and carries a drive shaft and the idler gear carries an idler shaft, which drive shaft and idler shaft are spaced from each other in parallel relationship and each receive a pair of brushes that rotate in different directions. The silk is removed from individual ears of corn by placing the ears on top of and between the rotating brushes. In a first preferred embodiment, the drive shaft and idler shaft extend through the housing and are journalled for rotation in bushings located in a removable front plate and a rear end plate and the motor is located externally of the housing.

Abstract: A kitchen appliance has a housing with an inlet opening for admitting water, a rotor rotatable in the housing, a brush member connected with the rotor for joint rotation therewith, a first smaller opening for supplying a smaller portion of water to the brush member for mixing with a soap, and a second greater outlet opening for exiting a greater portion of water for rinsing a dish or the like washed by the brush member.

Abstract: Apparatus is disclosed by which a number of thin, disc-like wafers are moved in a linear path and fed into such path on a discrete basis from a supply or feeding station. The individual or discrete wafers are moved into engagement with a pair of endless belts which, in effect, define the linear path and are arranged one over the other with the facing portions of the belts being spaced apart by at least the diameter of the wafers to be interposed therebetween. As the wafers are moved through the linear path by the belts, they are moved between pairs of brushes, each of a pair being rotatably mounted on a respective side of the path for engaging and cleaning the surfaces of the wafer, the pairs of brushes extending in the direction of movement of the wafers.
