FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a replaceable reciprocating work head, for example a brush head for use in an electric tool assembly such as an electric brush assembly.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] It is often desirable to remove small dirt patches and spots from fabrics such as carpets and this is often conventionally carried out manually using a scrubbing brush or using a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment. Manual scrubbing may be labour intensive and once the bristles on the brush have worn down the brush must be discarded. The use of a conventional vacuum cleaner may be difficult in some circumstances as the vacuum cleaner is a generally cumbersome device and not suitable for use in all locations.

[0003] Thus there is a need for a low cost modular replaceable reciprocating work head such as a brush head for use in an electric tool, such as a brush, of small size.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0004] According to a first aspect of the invention there is provided a reciprocating work head for use with an electric tool assembly comprising:

[0005] a movable section; and

[0006] a fixed section having a longitudinal axis, the movable section carrying a retaining pin;

wherein the movable section is arranged to move along the retaining pin in a reciprocating motion along the longitudinal axis of the fixed section.

[0007] According to a further aspect there is provided an electric brush assembly comprising the reciprocating work head defined above.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0011] FIG. 1c is a plan view of the other side of the brush head to that shown in FIG. 1a;

[0012] FIG. 2 is a parts exploded view of the brush head of FIGS. 1a to c showing the assembly method;

[0013] FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view through the brush head of FIGS. 1a to c;

[0014] FIG. 4 is a sectional view through a longitudinal centreline of the brush head of FIG. 3;

[0015] FIG. 5a is a perspective view of the bristle side of a brush head having bristles at one extreme position according to a first preferred embodiment of the invention;

[0016] FIG. 5b is a perspective view of the other side of the brush head of FIG. 5a in the same position as that shown in FIG. 5a;

[0017] FIG. 6a is a perspective view of a bristle side of a brush head with bristles at another extreme position;

[0018] FIG. 6b is a perspective view of the other side of the brush head of FIG. 6a in the same position as the brush head of FIG. 6a;

[0019] FIG. 7a is a projection showing the underside (non-bristle side) of the brush head attached to a brush drive assembly; and
