Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
328 words
A brush device comprising: a. a handle including an end portion having a longitudinal axis and a free end, b. said end portion comprising a distal annular groove coaxial of said longitudinal axis and adjacent said free end, c. an attachment surface extending circumferentially and coaxially of said end portion adjacent the proximal end of said distal groove opposite said free end, d. a first elongated strip of synthetic, loose-weave, net material, having first and second side edge portions, e. a first strand sewn the length of and along said first side edge portion of said first strip, gathering said strip at spaced points along said stRip, thereby shortening the effective length of said strip and creating an effective thickness normal to the ungathered surface of said strip, f. said first strip being lap-wound around said end portion of said handle, said first strand being wound circumferentially in said distal groove, and said second side edge portion projecting distally from said attachment surface, g. means securing said first strip wound around said end portion, h. a second elongated strip of synthetic, loose-weave, net material, having first and second side edge portions, i. a second strand sewn along the length of and medially of said first and second side edge portions of said second strip, gathering said second strip at spaced points along said strip, thereby shortening the effective length of said second strip and creating an effective thickness normal to the ungathered surface of said second strip, j. said second strip being lap-wound around said end portion of said handle, said second strand being wound circumferentially around said attachment surface so that the first side edge portion of said second strip projects distally toward and against said first wound strip, and the second side edge portion of said second strip projects generally in the opposite direction of said first side edge portion of said second strip, k. second means securing said second strip wound around said attachment surface.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
328 words
A brush device comprising: a. a handle including an end portion having a longitudinal axis and a free end, b. said end portion comprising a distal annular groove coaxial of said longitudinal axis and adjacent said free end, c. an attachment surface extending circumferentially and coaxially of said end portion adjacent the proximal end of said distal groove opposite said free end, d. a first elongated strip of synthetic, loose-weave, net material, having first and second side edge portions, e. a first strand sewn the length of and along said first side edge portion of said first strip, gathering said strip at spaced points along said stRip, thereby shortening the effective length of said strip and creating an effective thickness normal to the ungathered surface of said strip, f. said first strip being lap-wound around said end portion of said handle, said first strand being wound circumferentially in said distal groove, and said second side edge portion projecting distally from said attachment surface, g. means securing said first strip wound around said end portion, h. a second elongated strip of synthetic, loose-weave, net material, having first and second side edge portions, i. a second strand sewn along the length of and medially of said first and second side edge portions of said second strip, gathering said second strip at spaced points along said strip, thereby shortening the effective length of said second strip and creating an effective thickness normal to the ungathered surface of said second strip, j. said second strip being lap-wound around said end portion of said handle, said second strand being wound circumferentially around said attachment surface so that the first side edge portion of said second strip projects distally toward and against said first wound strip, and the second side edge portion of said second strip projects generally in the opposite direction of said first side edge portion of said second strip, k. second means securing said second strip wound around said attachment surface.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
The invention according to claim 1 in which said circumferential attachment surface comprises a shoulder having a circumferential extent substantially greater than the circumferential extent of said distal annular groove.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
140 words
The invention according to claim 1 further comprising a third elongated strip of synthetic loose-weave net material, having first and second side edge portions, a third strand sewn the length of and along the first side edge portion of said third strip gathering said third strip at spaced points along said strip, thereby shortening the effective length of said third strip and creating an effective thickness normal to the ungathered surface of said third strip; said third strip being lap-wound around said end portion, said third strand being wound circumferentially around said end portion proximally of said attachment surface, the first side edge portion of said third strip projecting distally, and the second side edge portion of said third strip flaring proximally and against said second strip, and third means for securing said third strip wound around said end portion.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
55 words
The invention according to claim 3 further comprising a proximal annular groove coaxial of said longitudinal axis and adjacent said attachment surface on the opposite side from said distal groove, said third strand being wound circumferentially around said proximal groove, and said attachment surface having a greater circumferential extent than either of said annular grooves.
