BRUSHES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR DISPENSING MULTIPLE FLUIDS DURING CLEANING OF A SURFACE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17959606 titled 'BRUSHES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR DISPENSING MULTIPLE FLUIDS DURING CLEANING OF A SURFACE

Simplified Explanation

The disclosed example brush for dispensing multiple fluids during cleaning of a surface includes an annular porous polymeric brush body and a first annular plate mechanically coupled to the brush body. The plate includes a channel to direct the first fluid from an inlet to the brush body, and a plate annulus aligned with a brush annulus of the brush body to direct a second fluid from an inlet to the surface.

  • Annular porous polymeric brush body
  • First annular plate with channel for first fluid and plate annulus for second fluid
  • Dispenses multiple fluids during surface cleaning

Potential Applications

The brush can be used in cleaning applications where multiple fluids are required for effective cleaning, such as in industrial settings or healthcare facilities.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of efficiently dispensing multiple fluids during surface cleaning without the need for separate tools or equipment.

Benefits

The brush allows for a more streamlined and efficient cleaning process by combining the dispensing of multiple fluids into one tool, reducing the need for multiple steps or equipment.

Potential Commercial Applications

"Efficient Multiple Fluid Dispensing Brush for Surface Cleaning" can be used in industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, and hospitality for effective and convenient cleaning processes.

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to brushes with multiple fluid dispensing capabilities, but the specific design of an annular porous polymeric brush body with a mechanically coupled annular plate for fluid dispensing may be unique.

Unanswered Questions

How does the brush handle different viscosities of fluids during dispensing?

The abstract does not mention how the brush accommodates fluids with varying viscosities. This could be important in determining the versatility of the brush in different cleaning applications.

What materials are used in the construction of the brush to ensure durability and longevity?

The abstract does not provide information on the materials used in the brush construction. Understanding the materials used can help assess the brush's durability and longevity in various cleaning environments.


Original Abstract Submitted

A disclosed example brush for dispensing multiple fluids during cleaning of a surface includes: an annular porous polymeric brush body configured to dispense a first fluid through the brush; and a first annular plate mechanically coupled to the brush body, wherein the plate includes: a channel to direct the first fluid from an inlet of the channel to the brush body; and a plate annulus aligned with a brush annulus of the brush body, such that the brush annulus and the plate annulus direct a second fluid from an inlet to the surface.
