A disposable cleaning pad having a grout cleaning brush includes a bristle attachment for use with a disposable pad. The bristle attachment is molded into a rectangular base piece forming a stand-alone removable brush that can be removably attached to a disposable pad. A top rectangular piece of similar dimensions to the base is connected to the end portion of the base by way of a hinge. The ends opposite the hinge have mating clasps that allow for the brush assembly to be securely yet removably fastened to an existing cleaning pad which is then mounted in the normal manner to the cleaning system. The brush assembly enjoys a longer life than that expected from a disposable cleaning pad thus the brush assembly may be reused many times before it needs to be replaced.

Components of automatic pool cleaners (APCs) are detailed. The components may include brushes configured to attach to blades of scrubbers of the APCs.

A toilet bowl brush assembly, a toilet bowl brush, and a method of manufacturing the same. The brush includes a handle assembly that has a proximal end and a distal end and a brush head that includes a plurality of tufts of bristles disposed on an outer surface of the brush head, a cavity defined by an inner surface of the brush head, and a fastener portion. The toilet bowl brush assembly includes a base that forms a cup for receiving the brush head. The brush head selectively couples to the handle assembly distal end at the fastener portion of the brush head at a handle assembly-brush head connection. At least one of the base and the brush head define an interference feature for preventing the brush head from moving relative to the base as the handle assembly is selectively separated from the brush head.

A device for cleaning welds. The device comprises a bristles pad, the bristles pad being electrically conductive to deliver electrical current to a weld to be cleaned when the bristles pad is in physical contact with the weld. The device further includes a bristles pad support, the bristles pad support including an elongated body receiving the bristles pad and extending along the bristles pad, the elongated body including a first section and a second section attached to each other, the first section being separable from the second section to reduce a length of the bristles pad support.

The livestock grooming article includes a handle extending along a handle axis, and a head extending along a head axis and connected to the handle. The head includes a body including a first major surface and a second major surface, and a back slidably connected to the first major surface of the body. The back includes a first major surface and a second major surface, where the first major surface of the back faces the first major surface of the body when the back is connected to the head. The head also includes a bristle extending through the body and beyond the second major surface of the body.

An applicator device for cosmetic and/or hygiene applications, which includes a shaft with a longitudinal axis, a proximal and a distal end as well as a carrier element, wherein at the carrier element there are arranged bristle elements in an anchor-free manner, wherein the carrier element is introduced in a receiving opening or put onto a receiving section at the distal end of the shaft and wherein the carrier element is connected to the shaft and to a respective method.

The invention relates to a cosmetic pencil having a working end, a grip region and a combing or brushing device. According to the invention, it is provided that the combing or brushing device is located between the working end and the grip region,

A toothbrush structure contains: a body, a movable brush, and a protective unit. The body includes a handle, a connecting neck, and a fixed head. The connecting neck is connected with the handle and the fixed head, the fixed head has multiple first orifices for receiving multiple first bristles, and a slot is formed on the fixed head and extends to the handle. The movable brush slides in the slot linearly and includes a push block, a slidable post, and a movable brushing portion. The push block is disposed on the slidable post, and the movable brushing portion is mounted on the slidable post opposite to the push block and has multiple second orifices for receiving multiple second bristles. The slidable post is received in the slot. The protective unit is configured to cover the slot so that the movable brush is limited to slide in the slot.

A brush structure contains: a holder and multiple cleaning assemblies. The holder includes multiple ribs. A respective cleaning assembly includes a positioning element, a brushing unit, at least one flexible element, and a support plate. The respective cleaning assembly is accommodated in a respective receiving groove by using the positioning element, and a top of the positioning element is engaged by a respective rib. The positioning element has an accommodation orifice defined therein, and the positioning element has a stop shoulder extending from an inner wall of a top thereof. The brushing unit has a base and multiple brushes mounted on the base, the base is received in the accommodation orifice of the positioning element, and the multiple brushes extend out of the accommodation orifice and are stopped by the stop shoulder. The at least one flexible element abuts against the base and the support plate.
