The powered scrubbing device with telescoping handle accessory includes a handheld, battery-powered scrubbing device and an attachable, telescoping handle. The battery powers a motor that drives a reciprocator, which provides linear reciprocating motion to an attached sponge or brush. The reciprocating speed may be controlled by a user through a button on a body of the device. A scrubbing pad may be removably attachable so it can be replaced when worn out or when a user requires a scrubbing pad having different scrubbing characteristics. The telescoping handle may be attached for accessing hard to reach places with the scrubbing device.

The present invention relates to a brush assembly for cleaning metal, the assembly comprising one or more brush heads, each brush head comprising a bundle of conductive filaments, having a working end adapted for contacting metal, and a terminal end, the brush head connectable to an electricity supply, and a housing connected to and retaining at least one sheath, each sheath at least partially surrounding at least one brush head, wherein each brush head and its respective sheath are movable in relation to each other by operating an adjustment mechanism and the working end of the brush head and the sheath are selectively fixable in relation to each other.

Devices, systems and methods for cleaning and disinfecting footwear items are disclosed herein. In an aspect, an apparatus is disclosed comprising an ultraviolet light element configured to emit ultraviolet light toward a top covering element configured to receive one or more contaminated item, wherein the ultraviolet light element is located within a lower frame element. In another aspect, a grating element is disclosed comprising a frame of bars configured to support the one or more contaminated item; wherein the grating element is a ceiling enclosure portion of the lower frame element. In yet another aspect, a brush frame element mounted to an underside of the grating element is disclosed, wherein the brush frame element comprises a set of brush strips configured to protrude through at least one space between the frame bars.

A vehicle operated cleaning bin for cleaning a storage grid of a storage system, wherein the cleaning bin includes a connector for attaching the cleaning bin to a lifting device of a remotely operating vehicle being configured to vertically convey the cleaning bin inside a column of the storage grid by aid of the lifting device, and a plurality of cleaners for removing foreign debris from the storage grid. The plurality of cleaners are arranged on at least one lateral wall of the cleaning bin.

A bug zapper coil cleaner including a brush element that is non-conductive. At least one handle is attached to the brush element. The at least one handle member is configured to move the brush from the outside of the housing on a bug zapper. The at least one handle has an elongated attachment member protruding from one end. Further, there is a clasp member connected to the brush element. The clasp member is a magnetic clasp. The clasp will hold the bug zapper coil cleaner at the top of the bug zapper between uses.

A wheel and lug nut cleaning device that includes a static central spine defining a front portion and a rear portion, a shape-retaining core encircling the front and rear portions, and a sheath removably coupled to and encircling the core spanning from the rear portion of the static central spine to the distal end of the static central spine, wherein the sheath has a plurality of spaced-part microfiber flanges continuously spanning from the rear portion of the static central spine to the distal end of the static central spine and each extending in a direction outwardly away from an outer surface of the sheath and the core and having a rounded external end, wherein the spine, core and sheath are operably configured to bend in a position to dispose and orient the front portion in a shape-retaining angle relative to the rear portion.

A cleaning system for a solar panel is provided. The cleaning system comprises: i) a frame moveable in a transverse direction over the solar panel, the frame having edges oriented in the transverse direction; a brush assembly positioned within the frame and moveable in a longitudinal direction including a plurality brush holders arranged within the frame, with each brush holder being adapted to interchangeably receive a brush for cleaning the solar panel; and a liquid spray arrangement including nozzles arranged one or more rows for spraying at least one of water and a water detergent mix onto the solar panel. The liquid spray arrangement includes nozzles positioned near at least one of the transverse edges of the frame for spraying the water detergent mix onto a longitudinal end of the brush assembly.

A cleaning robot includes an arm including a distal end portion to which a brush is attached, the arm extending in a first direction parallel to a horizontal direction, a driver connected to the arm, the driver including a first mechanism that moves the arm in the first direction, a second mechanism that moves the arm in a second direction parallel to a vertical direction perpendicular to the first direction, and a third mechanism that moves the arm in a third direction perpendicular to both the first direction and second direction, a controller configured to switch the orientation of the distal end portion between an orientation for cleaning a first target face of the object and an orientation for cleaning a second target face of the object, the first target face facing the first direction, the second target face facing the second direction.

A vehicle wash system includes a vehicle treatment area and an overhead frame portion supporting a rotational brush that is translatable relative to a vehicle disposed within the vehicle treatment area. The brush may rotate in the same rotational direction during a first translation direction and a second translation direction of the brush along the vehicle. During one direction of translation, the brush rotates at a first rotational speed, and in the opposite direction of translation, the brush rotates at increased rotational speed. The system may include a pair of side brushes, with the brushes rotating in opposite rotational directions, but maintaining their rotational directions during both directions of translation.

Automatic emitter point cleaners are disclosed. An automatic emitter point cleaning system includes: a fan configured to direct a stream of air through an air path; a point emitter configured to produce at least one of positive ions or negative ions within or proximate to the air path; a brush; a first gear coupled to the brush and configured to move the brush into contact with the point emitter; a second gear to engage the first gear; and a motor to actuate the second gear such that the second gear actuates the first gear to move the brush past the point emitter.
