Dispensing paintbrush
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.
ADAPTER WITH INTERCHANGEABLE ELEMENT FOR CONNECTING MAKEUP APPLICATOR TO AN EXTERNAL DEVICE
An adapter is provided that connects any one of a variety of makeup applicators for applying makeup to a motion controlling device that directs movement of the makeup applicator. The adapter includes a base component having a base connection for connecting the adapter to the motion controlling device in a certain orientation, and an end component having an end connection for connecting the adapter to a makeup applicator. The end component has a center axis through its center and is rotatably attached about the center axis to the base component with a structure for locking the end component in a certain rotated angle about the center axis.
CLEANING DEVICES HAVING SELECTIVELY FLEXIBLE OR RIGID HANDLES
A cleaning device is provided that includes a handle, a cleaning implement, a flexible neck, and a collar. The cleaning implement depends from one end the handle. The flexible neck is positioned to allow flexion of the handle. The collar moves with respect to the flexible neck between a first position where movement of the flexible neck is unrestricted by the collar and a second position where movement of the flexible neck is restricted by the collar.
Tool for servicing a structure
A tool for cleaning a structure is provided. The tool includes an extension pole having a length, the extension pole including three or more cylindrical segments having different respective diameters, the segments being arranged in a telescoping configuration to permit the length of the extension pole to be adjusted to a desired length; locking nuts structured to releasably lock adjacent ones of the segments to one another; a grip provided on a most proximal one of the segments; and an attachment member provided on a most distal one of the segments, the attachment member being structured to removably attach at least one cleaning accessory.

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.
TRUSS BRUSH
A truss brush assembly is provided. The truss brush assembly pivotably and rotatably interconnects an elongated telescoping pole and an arrangement of spaced apart brushes that operatively engage the underside and sides of a beam or other member of a working truss. The interconnection includes a handle mount providing a swivel connection to a channel housing supporting the arrangement of spaced apart brushes.
Cleaning devices having selectively flexible or rigid handles
A cleaning device is provided that includes a handle, a cleaning implement, a flexible neck, and a collar. The cleaning implement depends from one end the handle. The flexible neck is positioned to allow flexion of the handle. The collar moves with respect to the flexible neck between a first position where movement of the flexible neck is unrestricted by the collar and a second position where movement of the flexible neck is restricted by the collar.

RECONFIGURABLE MODULAR BRUSH AND ASSOCIATED BRUSH KITS
A reconfigurable modular brush has a brush head including brush-head upper and lower surfaces extending longitudinally along a brush-head axis between brush-head first and second ends. Laterally opposed brush-head first and second sides extend between the brush-head upper and lower surfaces and longitudinally between the brush-head first and second ends. A bristle array is defined by a plurality of bristles protruding from the brush-head lower surface. A brush handle includes a grip portion and a brush-head mount, the brush handle having a lengthwise extent disposed generally along a handle axis between handle proximate and distal ends. The brush head and brush-head mount are cooperatively configured such that the handle can selectively capture and retain the brush head. Moreover, the longitudinal orientation in which the brush head is captured and retained by the brush handle is selectively reversible.
