Abstract:
A cleaning brush assembly for mounting on a power-driven rotatable shaft of a swimming pool cleaning apparatus for contacting surfaces of the pool to be cleaned, said brush assembly comprising:a flexible web having first and second opposing edges, said first edge having at least one first element having a first opening therethrough extending in a direction parallel to the first edge, and said second edge having at least one second element having a second opening therethrough extending in a direction parallel to the second edge, said web having a first surface with a plurality of mounting members projecting therefrom and an opposing second surface with a plurality of cleaning members projecting therefrom, and said web being deformable about the rotatable shaft to bring said first and second edges into contact, with said first element being in spaced relation to said second element such that said first opening is aligned with said second opening to form a continuous open path, and to orient said web with said first surface facing toward the shaft and said second surface facing away from the shaft with said cleaning members extending outwardly for contacting the pool surfaces as the shaft is driven; and a locking pin sized to fit within said open path to hold said first and second elements together in a secure, locking fit with said mounting members engaging the shaft for inhibiting relative rotation between the shaft and said web, wherein said mounting members space said web from the shaft and are spaced apart on said web to permit fluid circulation between the shaft and said web.
