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.

Modular Robot

Provided is a robot including a chassis; a set of wheels coupled to the chassis; a plurality of sensors; a processor; and a tangible, non-transitory, machine readable medium storing instructions that when executed by the processor effectuates operations. The operations include capturing, with an image sensor disposed on the robot, a plurality of images of an environment of the robot as the robot navigates within the environment; identifying, with the processor, an obstacle type of an obstacle captured in an image based on a comparison between features of the obstacle and features of obstacles with different obstacles types stored in a database; and determining, with the processor, an action of the robot based on the obstacle type of the obstacle.

A long rod cleaning machine can prevent swinging due to partial contact and also perform local cleaning. A scrubber includes an electric motor, a tip tool including a cleaning portion, a head to which the tip tool is attachable, a rod, and a rotator between the head and the rod. The tip tool is attached in a manner movable with a driving force from the electric motor. The head includes a peripheral portion surrounding the cleaning portion and including a surface-cleaning lateral portion to be in contact with a cleaning target surface together with the cleaning portion. The rotator includes a rotation restrictor connecting the head to the rod in a manner rotatable relative to the rod about at least two axes. The rotation restrictor partially or fully restricts rotation of the head.

FLAT HEADED MOP AND METHOD OF OPERATION

A method of using a flat headed mop is provided. The method includes cleaning a surface with the mop pad, then rotating the mop head into the folded position at a instance with a biasing member coupled to a hinge assembly. The hinge assembly being disposed between the mop head and a mop pole. Next, inserting the mop head into a first fluid to remove contaminants from the mop pad, then inserting the mop head into a wringing assembly to remove at least a portion of the first fluid.

20230148740 · 2023-05-18 ·

A reconfigurable brush includes an elongated brush head extending between brush-head first and second ends and a brush handle extending between handle proximate and distal ends. The brush-head first end is mounted to the handle distal end for rotation about a brush-head rotation axis between opposed first and second angular orientations and axial displacement along the brush-head rotation axis between opposed axial first and second positions. The first and second angular orientations are defined such that the brush-head second end is disposed, respectively, (i) rearwardly of the brush-head first end and the handle distal end and (ii) forwardly of the brush-head first end and the handle distal end. The axial first and second positions correspond to the handle being, respectively, (a) locked in one of the first and second angular orientations and (b) unlocked to allow rotation between the opposed first and second angular orientations.

Adjustable Stroller Wheel Cleaning Brush
20230189971 · 2023-06-22 ·

An adjustable stroller wheel cleaning brush is a cleaning apparatus, that can access multiple locations of a wheel at the same time. Further, the device may also clean wheels of a wide variety of strollers and other similar sized wheels. To accomplish this, the apparatus is designed similar to an adjustable wrench, but with brushes on the wrench head's interior surfaces. More specifically, the wrench head may have an open jaw with an adjustable range enabling the cleaning apparatus to be used on wheels of varying dimensions. Further, the brushes of the apparatus would extend from multiple directions on the wrench head, thereby enabling the cleaning apparatus to clean multiple locations on the wheel. Thus, the stroller wheel cleaning brush is a user friendly, cost efficient, and width adjustable cleaning apparatus that enables efficient cleaning of stroller wheels.
