A method of cleaning a surface includes steps of: urging brushes of a cleaning device against the surface; providing solvent to the surface via a solvent supply that passes through a housing of the cleaning device; rotating a drive gear about a drive-gear rotational axis to drive driven gears about corresponding driven-gear rotational axes inside the housing to rotate the brushes; and evacuating material from the surface via a vacuum tube, passing through the housing.

A brushing sprayer includes a pipe body, a diverter, a control assembly and a brushing head. A pipe body includes an inlet end and an outlet opening communicating with each other. A diverter is positioned in the pipe body, and includes a first flow way, a second flow way and a third flow way communicating with each other and communicating with the inlet end and the outlet end of the pipe body. A control assembly passes through the pipe body, and is connected to the diverter. The control assembly is adapted to plug two selected from the group consisting of the first flow way, the second flow way and the third flow way, whereby a water flow could be regulated by the control assembly to outlet from the first flow way, the second flow way or the third flow way. The brushing head is positioned on the outlet end of the pipe body.

An attachment for use with a hose is provided. The attachment includes a body having a proximal end opposite a distal end. The body defines an inlet disposed at the proximal end. The body further defines an outlet at the distal end. The body defines an inner flow passage operable to enable water to flow from the inlet to the outlet. A connector is disposed at the proximal end of the body and is operable for attachment to a water source. A plurality of bristles is disposed at the distal end of the body and is operable for scrubbing a surface.

A brush (200) for delivering a glutinous substance (168) to a workpiece (170) from an end-effector (102) is disclosed. The brush (200) comprises a body (202), having a rotational axis (238) and comprising a first channel (208) that comprises an inlet (209) and a first outlet (280). The inlet (209) is coaxial with the rotational axis (238) and the first outlet (280) is offset from the rotational axis (238). The brush (200) also comprises tufts (222), extending from the body (202) and each comprising at least one bristle (220) and a tip (227). The brush (200) further comprises a first tube (210), communicatively coupled with the first outlet (280) of the first channel (208) of the body (202).

A method for cleaning a surface that is selected from at least one of a medical device surface and a soft tissue surface includes the steps of: contacting the surface with bristles of a moving brush head that is part of a powered hand-held device; and dispensing onto the surface an irrigation fluid through the brush head and a dispensing opening formed along the brush head.

A cleaning device includes a porous body and a dispensing reservoir disposed within the porous body. The dispensing reservoir has at least one opening being disposed at a predetermined location along a length of the dispensing reservoir such that a rate at which the solution flows into the porous body varies based specific orientations of the porous body. A perforated fluid supply conduit is also disposed within the porous body and extends alongside the dispensing reservoir, the perforated fluid conduit having a plurality of perforations. The dispensing reservoir and the perforated fluid supply conduit are not directly fluidly coupled.

A dental cleaning appliance includes a handle and a fluid delivery system. The fluid delivery system includes a nozzle for delivering a burst of working fluid to the teeth of a user, and a moveable fluid conduit which is moveable about an axis relative to the handle. The nozzle is moveable with the fluid conduit, which is biased for movement about the axis in a direction which urges the nozzle against a user's teeth during use of the appliance.

A cleaning sponge roller includes a cylindrical sponge body and a shaft-shaped core. The sponge body is formed of a porous material having continuous pores and having elasticity in a wet state. The core is inserted through an inner diameter portion of the sponge body and fixedly supports an inner circumferential surface of the sponge body. The core is formed of a porous sintered compact having continuous pores.

A dispensing paintbrush includes a handle, a brush head connected to the handle, and bristles attached to the brush head to apply a fluid to a surface. A coupler is attached to the handle and is configured to connect to a fluid source. A nozzle is attached to the coupler and is configured to dispense the fluid to the bristles. The nozzle extends within the bristles and terminates at a position from the brush head that is less than one half the length of the bristles.

The present invention is directed to a multi liquid dispensing brush, specifically, a hairbrush that has the ability to dispense multiple liquids simultaneously. While many hairbrushes known in the prior art have the ability to dispense one liquid, there are occasions in which one liquid is not sufficient for a consumer; particularly when the consumer desires to detangle and style his or her hair using only one hairstyling tool. With the current hairstyling tools available in the marketplace, hair care can become a cumbersome process when a consumer attempts to maneuver multiple brushes along with multiple containers of liquids. Depending on a consumer's hair needs, one hairbrush that can dispense multiple liquids from multiple surfaces would eliminate the hassle of needing to constantly switch hairstyling tools, and it would enable the consumer to achieve his or her desired hairstyling results through the usage of one all-encompassing tool.
