说明书全文 | This application claims benefit of U.S. provisional No. 60/263,584, filed Jan. 22, 2001. The present invention relates to brushes for cleaning pipe ends, pipe fitting and the like and more particularly to a multi-headed cleaning tool that includes a handle having a rotatable end fitting for receiving a dog legged shaped shank, a dog leg shaped shank having a far end provided with a stop ball with an outside band for receiving the back end of the shaft of a cleaning item, and a number of cleaning items including detachable brushes and shafts adapted for holding sandpaper and the like. It is often difficult for plumbers and other individuals who work with piping tubing and the like to clean the interior of the fitting prior to making attachments. Although it is difficult to perform these cleanings, it is necessary that they be cleaned so that a proper joint may be fastened between the pipe and the fitting. It would be desireable, therefore, to have a tool that included a handle that could be easily attached to any one of a number of brushes or other cleaning elements so that the user could rapidly and easily clean the pipe and/or fitting as needed. It is thus an object of the invention to provide an all-in-one fitting brush that includes a handle having a rotatable end fitting for receiving a dog legged shaped shank, a dog leg shaped shank having a far end provided with a stop ball with an outside band for receiving the back end of the shaft of a cleaning item, and a number of cleaning items including detachable brushes and shafts adapted for holding sandpaper and the like. Accordingly, an all-in-one fitting brush is provided. The all-in-one fitting brush includes a handle having a rotatable end fitting for receiving a dog legged shaped shank, a dog leg shaped shank having a far end provided with a stop ball with an outside band for receiving the back end of the shaft of a cleaning item, and a number of cleaning items including detachable brushes and shafts adapted for holding sandpaper and the like. For a further understanding of the nature and objects of the present invention, reference should be had to the following detailed description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which like elements are given the same or analogous reference numbers and wherein: It can be seen from the preceding description that an all-in-one fitting brush has been provided. It is noted that the embodiment of the all-in-one fitting brush described herein in detail for exemplary purposes is of course subject to many different variations in structure, design, application and methodology. Because many varying and different embodiments may be made within the scope of the inventive concept(s) herein taught, and because many modifications may be made in the embodiment herein detailed in accordance with the descriptive requirements of the law, it is to be understood that the details herein are to be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense. |
