Abstract:
A disposal brush for cleaning a disposal unit in a sink, said disposal unit having a generally cylindrical side wall, a top wall and a bottom wall, said disposal brush comprising a generally circular plate having a size sufficient to cover the opening of the disposal unit, a handle affixed to the plate, a support frame secured to and depending downwardly from the plate, said support frame including a central portion, side arms extending upwardly toward the circular plate and outwardly from the central portion and having upwardly and inwardly bent portions at the ends thereof, and bristles secured along the length of the side arms and the inwardly bent portions at the ends thereof, the side arms and the inwardly bent portions being resilient, whereby in use, when the disposal brush is inserted into the disposal, the bristles on the side arms will engage the side wall of the disposal unit, which will tend to urge the side arms inwardly, and the reaction of the resilient side arms will be to urge the bristles on the side arms into firmer engagement with the side wall of the disposal unit, and when the bristles on the inwardly bent portions engage the inside of the top wall of the disposal unit, the bristles on the upwardly and inwardly extending portions will be urged into engagement with the side wall and the top wall of the disposal unit for effectively cleaning both the side wall and the top wall.
