DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0025] The following description of the embodiments can be understood in light of the Figures which illustrate specific aspects of the embodiments and are part of the specification. Together with the following description, the Figures demonstrate and explain the principles of the embodiments. In the Figures the physical dimensions of the embodiment may be exaggerated for clarity. The same reference numerals or word descriptions in different drawings represent the same element, and thus their descriptions may be omitted.

[0026] FIG. 1 shows the brush cleaning sheet 100 of the present invention including a mesh pattern 110. The hair brush 200 is by way of example, the hairbrush 200 including a handle 210, brush head 220 and bristles 230.

[0027] As shown in FIG. 2A the brush cleaning sheet 100 is configured to fit over the bristles 230 of the hairbrush 200. Hair 300 which is loose or broken will become entrapped in the bristles 230 above the top surface of the brush cleaning sheet 100. FIG. 2B demonstrates how as the brush cleaning sheet 100 is removed from the hairbrush bristles 230, hair 300 is pulled out of the bristles 230 and is free to throw away.

[0028] FIG. 3 is another embodiment of the present invention or brush cleaning sheet 100 comprising a thin planner mesh 110 and including a tab 110 or pull tab 110 used to aid in the installation and removal of the brush cleaning sheet 100 from the bristles of a hairbrush. FIG. 4 describes possible profiles or shapes of the brush cleaning sheets 100 configured to fit a hairbrush having a different shaped head.

[0029] FIG. 5 showing a plurality of brush cleaning sheets 100 configured to be fit onto the hairbrush 200.

[0030] The brush cleaning sheet 100 of FIG. 6 including a pair of hook and loop fasteners 131/132 configured to allow the cleaning sheet 100 to be fit over the bristles of a hair brush and then be securely attached using the fasteners 131/132 around the back portion of the hair brush body.

[0031] FIG. 7 describes a brush cleaning sheet 100 formed as a cover or a bonnet having an elastic member 141 sewn into the perimeter.

[0032] As shown in FIG. 8, brush cleaning sheet 100 can be installed over the bristles 230 of the hair brush 200 with the perimeter elastic 141 pulled over the hair brush body 220 to the back portion of the hair brush head. In an instance where the brush cleaning sheet 100 does not fully extend over the bristles 230, installation tool 300 can be used to compress the brush cleaning sheet 100 down between the rows of bristles 230. It is contemplated that the installation tool 300 will be formed using a material which is thin enough to extend between the bristles 230 of the hair brush 200 and have enough rigidity to resist deformation or bending.

[0033] It is to be understood that the above mentioned arrangements are only illustrative of the application of the principles of the present disclosure. Numerous modifications or alternative arrangements may be devised by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure and the appended claims are intended to cover such modifications and arrangements. Thus, while the present disclosure has been shown in the drawings and described above with particularity and detail, it will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art that numerous modifications, including, but not limited to, variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use may be made without departing from the principles and concepts set forth herein.
