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 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.
