ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a self cleaning paint brush. More specifically, the invention relates to a paint brush that has a hollow handle for attaching to a water source, and a hollow head that contains water diverting bars therein to control the flow of water through the bristles.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
When cleaning dirty paint brushes they are usually placed inside a cup or tray of water to soak, or held under a faucet. This method is not desirable since the brush is not thoroughly cleaned, and the bristles tend to get bent and therefore, the brush is discarded.
This invention alleviates these problems by providing an easy to clean paint brush. This paint brush consists of a hollow handle that contains a tube that extends throughout to provide a passage for water. A water source is connected to the first end of the paint brush. At the second end of the paint brush, a hollow brush head is attached. This hollow brush head contains at least one diverting bar which controls the flow of water. In addition, a bristle bar or bristle plate containing a plurality of orifices is attached to the hollow head. A plurality of bristles are attached to the bristle bar so that they surround the orifices. These bristles can be fixed to the bristle bar as known in the art either individually or in groups using an adhesive. Therefore, the water flowing through the orifices have contact with all the bristles. The water source is attached to the first end of the hollow handle, and the water flows through the tube, through the hollow head, through the orifices and over the bristles for easy cleaning.
