Abstract: The present invention is a new and unique device which allows a brush to be securely attached to a container. A wedge plate is located at the brush head and in line with the handle. Offset from the handle is a base plate. The base plate is wider and longer than the wedge plate. When forced onto the rim of a bucket the invention flattens a region of the rim between the base plate and the wedge plate. This creates three points of contact with the brush—one on the outside of the bucket and two flanking the first but on the inside of the bucket.

Abstract: The hairbrush includes an elongated member having a handle segment and a bristle substrate segment. The bristle substrate defines an hourglass shaped core having a central region that is either cylindrically shaped or has a substantially similar elliptical cross-sections bounded on either side by dimensionally larger end regions. A plurality of hairbrush bristles are attached over the bristle substrate. The hairbrush bristles can have substantially equal lengths such that the outer peripheral portions of the plurality of hairbrush bristles defines an hourglass shape. Alternatively, the hairbrush bristles can have varying lengths such that the bristle ends form a planar surface or substantially cylindrical surface. Rectangular and oval shaped bristle substrates are also disclosed.

Abstract: The hair brush includes an elongated member having a handle segment and a bristle substrate segment. The bristle substrate defines a cylindrical core having a smoothly curved, concave central region and radially larger end regions. A plurality of bristles are attached over the bristle substrate. The bristles have varying lengths such that the outer peripheral portions of the plurality of bristles define a planar surface, an arcuate segment of cylinder, or a complete cylinder. The bristles are distributed throughout the bristle substrate in a predetermined pattern. The bristles are disposed over the peripheral surface of the bristle substrate in one of two manners. In one embodiment the bristles are individually disposed on the bristle substrate in a series. In another embodiment, the bristles are segmented into groups of small bundles and these bundles are disposed on the bristle substrate in a series.
