Abstract:
A brush assembly for cleaning a toilet includes a handle that comprises an upper section a lower section, and a medial section. The lower section and the medial section are nested in the upper section so that the lower section and the medial section are selectively extensible from the upper section. A scrubber is coupled to a lower end of the lower section and is configured to clean a toilet. A base, which is bowl-shaped, is positioned to partially insert the scrubber. A lid is coupled to and extends from a bottom end of the upper section. The lid is bowl-shaped and complementary the base. A perimeter of the lid is positioned to abut a circumference of the base as the lower section and the medial section are inserted into the upper section. The lid and the base define an interior space that houses the scrubber.

Claim (Index 14):
A brush assembly comprising:\n a handle comprising an upper section, a lower section, and a medial section, said lower section and said medial section being nested in said upper section such that said lower section and said medial section are selectively extensible from said upper section; a plurality of indentations positioned in said upper section wherein said indentations are configured for enhancing a grip of a hand of a user positioned on said handle, said plurality of indentations comprising three said indentations, said indentations being arcuate; a scrubber coupled to a lower end of said lower section wherein said scrubber is configured for cleaning a toilet, said lower end of said lower section being externally threaded, said scrubber comprising:\n a disc, \n a hole centrally positioned through said disc, \n a tube coupled to said disc and extending from said hole, said tube being internally threaded such that said tube is positioned for threadedly inserting said lower end of said lower section for reversibly coupling said disc to said handle, \n a brush coupled to said tube, said brush comprising sponge, said brush comprising a core and a plurality of bristles, said core being substantially spherically shaped, each said bristle being coupled to and extending radially from said core, and \n a plurality of wires, each said wire being coupled to and positioned in a respective said bristle and extending into said core wherein said wires are positioned for stiffening said bristles; \n a base, said base being bowl-shaped such that said base is positioned for partially inserting said scrubber; a lid coupled to and extending from a bottom end of said upper section, said lid being bowl-shaped and complementary said base such that a perimeter of said lid is positioned for abutting a circumference of said base as said lower section is inserted into said upper section wherein said lid and said base define an interior space housing said scrubber; a ring coupled to and extending from an exterior surface of said base, said ring being parallel planarly positioned relative to said circumference of said base such that said ring is positioned for stabilizing said base on a horizontal surface; a plurality of apertures positioned in said lid wherein said apertures are positioned for venting said interior space; a plurality of slits positioned in said base wherein said slits are positioned for venting said interior space; an orifice positioned through a top end of said upper section; a pin, said pin being ball lock type, said pin being positioned in said orifice and coupled to said upper section such that a button of said pin protrudes from said upper section and such that a barrel of said pin extends into said upper section; an upper washer positioned around and coupled to said barrel adjacent to said top end of said upper section; a lower washer positioned around said barrel proximate to a terminus of said barrel such that release balls protruding from said barrel of said pin are positioned between said lower washer and said terminus; a coiled spring positioned around said barrel, said coiled spring being coupled to and extending between said upper washer and said lower washer wherein said button is configured for depressing for urging a spindle of said pin toward said terminus for positioning a recess of said spindle for retracting said release balls such that said coiled spring is positioned for urging said lower washer past said release balls for contacting an upper end of said lower section such that said coiled spring is positioned for extending said lower section and said medial section from said upper section from said upper section.
