ABSTRACT:
A brush composed of slim rectangular segments hinged together at their edges with bristles protruding from the hinged edges such that when the segments are folded together accordion style the bristles stick out for brushing. Simultaneously the segments act as a backing and grip. When the segments are unfolded, oriented edge to edge, the bristles interdigitate flush against the segments leaving the entire brush thin, flat, flexible, and easily stored or carried, e.g. as in a pants pocket or purse.
Furthermore, a covering can be affixed so that it covers the bristles of the brush when it is in a flat or storage mode (configuration). This covering can be very thin and flexible or segmented and hinged in such a way as to enable it to function as a handle to the brush when the brush is in the folded or brushing mode (configuration).
