ABSTRACT:
A brush assembly includes a brush head that is releasably attached to a first elongate handle when a remote area is to be reached and which is releasably attached to a second palm-held handle when the elongate handle is not required. The assembly includes a ball and socket joint. The elongate handle is detachably secured within a blind bore formed in the ball. The socket is defined by a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart curved retainers that are spaced apart from one another by a distance sufficient to receive the elongate handle when the handle is held at an angle relative to the brush head. Thus, the brush head does not rotate with respect to the handle when the brush is in use. When the elongate handle is detached from the ball, each of the respective spaces between the retainers is sufficient to receive respective circumferentially spaced apart fingers that collectively form the palm-held handle, and the structure is comfortably held in the palm so that the brush can be used without the elongate handle. In second and third embodiments, a second and a third groove are formed in the ball, respectively, for sliding engagement with a post formed in the socket to enable a brush user to tilt and maintain the brush head on an edge.
