An improved swimming pool brush construction resists buildup of bacteria and other microbes and is convenient to switch between different types of handles. Brushes in accordance with the invention comprise a handle connection portion and a brush head attached to the handle connection portion. The brush head has a body and a plurality of extending from the body. The head can be formed of polymer material, with antimicrobial material such as silver and/or zinc therein. The brush head can be joined to a handle adaptor with two portions. The distal portion has a proximal end threaded to receiving a standard brush/rake handle. The proximal portion is adapted to be received in the distal end of a conventional pool pole.

The present invention provides a portable golf club head cleaning device designed to more conveniently and effectively clean golf club heads and comprising a housing with a top surface defining an enclosed club entrance aperture, a liquid storage cavity defined within the housing and operably configured to house a liquid therein, at least one cleaning brush with a central core, an upper brush end 140, a lower brush end 142, a plurality of bristles disposed along the brush length and extending radially outward from the central core and operably configured to rotate 360°, and at least one DC motor electrically coupled to a battery-powered power source and an electronic switch operably configured to selectively complete a circuit with the battery-powered power source and the at least one DC motor and cause rotation of the at least one cleaning brush about a central core axis.

A grill-cleaning tool includes a cleaning head and a cleaning implement connected to an underside of the cleaning head. The cleaning implement includes a first end and a second end opposite the first end relative to a length dimension of the cleaning head, and a first side and a second side opposite the first side relative to a width dimension of the cleaning head. The cleaning implement includes a compressible member and a scrubbing member covering the compressible member. The scrubbing member is fabricated from a metallic-mesh material and defines a working outer surface of the cleaning implement. At least one clamp is connected to one of the underside of the cleaning head and the cleaning implement. The at least one clamp is configured to secure the scrubbing member in place on the compressible member.

A broom has a rigid backing plate having a rectangular cross section, an overall length, an upper surface and an undersurface, the backing plate having two straight regions connected by a curved region, a bristle unit comprising an elastic and flexible backing having a rectangular cross section with a width and length the same as the backing plate, an upper surface and an undersurface, with bristles extending orthogonally from all of the undersurface of the bristle unit, providing a brushing surface at the end of the bristles away from the backing plate, and a handle connected by a connector mechanism to a point on the upper surface of the shaped rigid backing plate. The upper surface of the bristle unit is joined to the undersurface of the backing plate by an adhesive along the full length of the undersurface of the backing plate.

A device capable of being attached to a work machine and which is designed to remove fireproofing, insulation and other material from buildings. The device includes a brush element that, when in contact with the material, rotates and strips the material from the building. The device is elevated by the work machine to contact the material to be stripped. This enables rapid clearing of the material with significantly fewer personnel.

A cleaning robot includes a detector configured to detect an obstacle; a determining circuit configured to determine whether the cleaning robot is in an obstacle obstruction state; and a controller configured to control the first drive wheel to cross an obstacle and control the second drive wheel to cross the obstacle according to a detection result when the cleaning robot is in the obstacle obstruction state, wherein the detector is further configured to detect whether the first drive wheel crosses the obstacle; and the controller is further configured to control the second drive wheel to cross the obstacle when the detector detects that the first drive wheel crosses the obstacle.

The disclosure provides a cleaning brush configured to clean a working channel of the endoscope. The cleaning brush comprises a first joint, a second joint and a plurality of cleaning units, the plurality of cleaning units are sequentially connected, each cleaning unit comprises a cleaning portion configured to be in contact with the working channel of the endoscope, and the hardness of the cleaning portions of at least two cleaning units in the plurality of cleaning units is different. The first joint and the second joint are respectively connected with two outermost cleaning units in the plurality of cleaning units, and the first joint and the second joint are configured to be connected to make a ring-shaped cleaning brush. The cleaning brush is efficient in removing bioburden from the working channel of an endoscope.
