Abstract: A hairbrush cleaner including a motor compartment, a cleaning compartment receptacle, a cleaning compartment, a motor, and a first cleaning brush. The cleaning compartment receptacle may be secured to a lower portion of the motor compartment. The cleaning compartment may have a lower portion carried by the cleaning compartment receptacle. The motor may have an axle carried within the motor compartment. The first cleaning brush may be suspended within the cleaning compartment receptacle and connected to the motor whereby rotation of the axle of the motor causes rotation of the first cleaning brush.

Abstract: A rotary scrubber apparatus, the apparatus includes a tube member having a helical slot, an attachment end portion, a holding end portion, and an internal cavity extending therethrough. A biasing element is contained within the internal cavity of the tube member. A following pin extends through the helical slot. The following pin has an external portion that engages a handle, and an internal portion that engages the biasing element. A scrubbing element is coupled with the attachment end of the tube member and rotationally fixed therewith. When the handle is pressed towards the attachment end and the handle is prevented from rotating about the tube member, the tube member rotates to rotate the scrubber element. The apparatus thereby provides rotational movement of the scrubber to be generated from only linear movement of the handle provided by a user.

Abstract: The present invention thoroughly cleans hairbrushes and combs and comprises an upper portion with at least two openings for containing a hair remover and an item to be cleaned, a rotating roller brush, and a housing portion. The roller brush, together with the hair remover, effectively clean and remove hair from styling combs and brushes and prevent accumulated hair from impeding the cleaning action by removing it from the roller brush. The device is configured in a specialized concave crescent shape, and the pattern of bristles on the roller brush is configured to optimize cleaning action on hairbrushes and styling combs.

Abstract: The invention is an apparatus suitable for cleaning pots comprising a drive, a shaft assembly, and at least one (1) pad attached to the shaft assembly. The drive rotates the shaft assembly which rotates the at least one (1) pad which is capable of scouring a pot surface held against the rotating pad.

The baby bottle scrubbing device includes a housing having a top wall and a bottom wall and further having a plurality of feet members securely attached to the bottom wall thereof for securing the housing upon a surface and also having openings extending through the top wall thereof; and also includes a scrubbing assembly for scrubbing a baby bottle including a nipple removably attached to the baby bottle.

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 brush cleaning and disinfecting device, for cleaning a brush having brush bristles, comprising a housing having an upper portion and a lower portion. The lower portion having a cavity capable of retaining a fluid disinfecting solution. The upper portion having a top having an aperature for inserting the brush to be cleaned into the cavity. Cleaning elements are arranged circumferentially around the aperature for engaging the brush circumferentially. The cleaning elements are each mounted on a shaft extending through the top. A pulley is attached to each shaft. The pulleys are connected to each other and to a drive motor with a drive belt, for rotating the cleaning elements.

Abstract: An electrically powered brush assembly for the wet scrubbing and cleaning of the hand grip of a piece of athletic equipment such as the grip of a golf club. The assembly is comprised of an elongated housing including an upper compartment which is adapted to receive the grip end of a golf club and contains a liquid cleaning agent and at least one, but preferably a plurality of elongated brushes arranged for contacting the surface of grip as well as a lower compartment which contains an electric drive motor, a grip actuated switch, and a gear train which couples to the brush(es) through an adjoining wall between the compartments. The brush or brushes are coextensive and aligned with the length of the grip and are powered by the electric motor to axially rotate and thus scrub the grip when the butt end of the grip actuates the switch.

Abstract: A thread cleaner for cleaning the pin end of a pipe or tubular member includes a housing with radially adjustable, rotatably mounted brush means therein for engaging the pin end of the pipe or tubular member to clean the threads on the pipe. Power means are adapted to be mounted on the housing for rotating the adjustably mounted brushes with conduit means for injecting solvent or cleaning fluid into the housing as the threads are cleaned and thereafter discharging the solvent or cleaning fluid from the housing.

Abstract: A washing apparatus for tumblers and the like comprising an open-topped container, inlet means in communication therewith for connection to an external supply of cleansing liquid to allow continuous flow from the supply into the container, a first stationary brush unit having a plurality of inwardly directed bristles arranged peripherally around the inside face of the container and a second stationary brush unit comprising an upright member arranged centrally of the container and having a plurality of radially onwardly directed bristles. The open-topped container can be located within an outer jacket into which used cleansing liquid overflows from the container and which has outlet means for removal of the fluid overflow.
