Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to cleaning brushes and, more particularly, to a power driven toilet brush with a removable, refillable cleaner container all carried by a supporting stand. [0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art [0004] Cleaning toilets and other bathroom house fixtures is a difficult chore not only because it requires in some instances much physical exertion to remove the surface dirt and stain, but because these items are typically very receptive to the growth of bacteria and other germs. Unclean bathrooms are widely regarded as significant contributors to the spread of disease. Cleaning products for bathroom and other household areas are usually applied to the fixture surfaces by a cloth, sponge or spray. A brush or other scrubbing medium is then used to apply the surface-carrying cleaner to the fixtures and surrounding areas. Only a common brush and separately contained and dispensed soap or disinfectant are normally used. These separately contained disinfectants often contain environmentally damaging aerosol sprays. [0005] Hand held devices which join a scrubbing surface with a dispensing device offer some help for fixture cleaning chores, however they usually require a heavy application of soap or other cleaner in a continuous stream which is difficult to obtain when the devices are used in a less-than-continuous manner. [0006] Hand-held, battery powered rotary action devices are known in the art. They usually have the direction of rotation in alignment with (o degrees) from the body of the device. [0007] All of these prior art articles provide a measure of scrubbing assistance in, for the most part, an economical way, however there is a strong need for the provision of an efficient, economical, satisfactorily performing toilet cleaning brush. It is to this effectively produced and highly performing function that the present invention is directed. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0008] A toilet brush has an arcuately shaped elongate handle that has at one end a brush receiving device and, at the other end, a gripping area which is hollow and used to store the power supply for the brush which is operably connected for the power supply to rotate the brush upon actuation by a user. The brush may be powered by batteries and/or an appropriately designed adaptor. A receptacle for operably receiving and storing the power supply is situated within the handle retaining end. The elongate handle is used to store/support a cleaner-filled receptacle that supplys the brush with a cleaning solution. The brush is selectively enclosed by a retractable splashguard. A supporting stand has a supporting surface-engaging end and a handle-supporting and retaining end, both ends connecting with each other proximate the power supply storing receptacle. [0009] Another embodiment of the present inventions includes a substantially straight housing one end of which operably supports and retains a rotating brush, and the other end of which operably supports and retains the power supply. The ends are operably connected through the gripping portion of the brush, and a solution-containing receptacle is positioned with a part of the gripping portion. [0010] From the foregoing summary, it can be seen that a primary objective of the present invention is to provide a brush that is used to clean toilets and other household devices which is electrically powered, has a dischargeable cleaner dispenser, is simple in design and construction, economical to manufacture and reliable to use which has all of the desirable characteristics of prior art devices and more and none of the disadvantageous. [0011] Thus there has been outlined the more important features of the invention in order that the detailed description that follows may be better understood and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are, of course, additional features of the invention that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto. In that respect, before explaining at least one embodiment of the invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its arrangement of the components set forth in the following description and illustrated in the drawings. The invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced and carried out in various ways. [0012] It is also to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein are for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting in any respect. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the concept upon which this disclosure is based may readily be utilized as a basis for designing other structures, methods and systems for carrying out the several purposes of this development. It is important that the claims be regarded as including such equivalent methods and products resulting therefrom that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The application is neither intended to define the invention of the application, which is measured by its claims, nor to limit its scope in any way. [0013] Thus, the objectives of the invention set forth above, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the invention, are noted with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
