ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for automatically cleaning and sanitizing brushes such as hair brushes including a carrier which supports and carries a brush to be cleaned along a predetermined path and disposed alongside this path are a plurality of cleaning and sanitizing devices. The latter include one or more rotary cleaning members with fingers which engage and clean the bristles of the devices and nozzles disposed both before and after the rotary members. Liquid soap or plain hot water is selectively sprayed through the nozzles and onto the bristles with at least the last effective nozzle spraying a rinse of hot water. A cam co-acts with a follower on the carrier to turn the brush so that the bristles face the cleaning devices and thereafter the cam is effective to oscillate the brush as the latter passes the cleaning devices so that all the bristles are presented to each of these devices. As the brush nears the end of its path of travel, the cam and follower oscillate the brush vigorously to shake excess water from the bristles. As disclosed, the apparatus also includes a chamber for drying and sanitizing cleaned brushes and another chamber for storing the brushes after they have been dried.
