ABSTRACT:
A mechanically assisted animal self-grooming device simulates the brushing movements of a human hand by utilizing a compact, maintenance-free miniature electric motor assembly 22 affixed and concealed to the underside of upper surface 28 of housing assembly 10. The electric motor assembly output shaft 24 is directly coupled to an opening 30 in the bottom of the brush body 12. The brush body 12 is mushroom shaped to accommodate the top and side surface of an animal's body simultaneously. An electrically powered reversing switch 40 permits changing the rotation of the electric motor 48 when desired. An animal can effectively groom its coat by simply pressing any part of its body against the rotating brush.
