ABSTRACT:
A brush with an automatic water control valve is disclosed. The brush includes a handle portion pivotably connected to an actuation portion and rigidly attached to a brush portion. A fluid passageway is provided through the handle portion into the bristles of the brush. Communicating with the fluid passageway is the flexible tubing which is adapted to be connected to a water fluid source under pressure. A valve is provided for opening and closing the passageway formed by the tubing and for providing flow through the passageway to the brush portion. The valve is actuated by a pivoting motion of the actuation portion with respect to the handle portion. The valve includes a roller which engages the flexible tubing and squeezes same, such that the normal rest position of the actuation portion with respect to the handle portion closes the tubing. Upon angling or pivoting of the actuation portion about the pivot on handle portion, the passageway is open so that fluid may be pass into the bristles of the brush in a controlled manner.
