Abstract

See full text

A brush useful for washing external surfaces, such as of a vehicle. The brush comprises a plurality of bristles connected to a hub. Each bristle has an elongated shaft having a number of cleaning structures extending outwardly from the shaft, providing multiple faces and edges arranged in a circumferential manner around the shaft, and producing multiple washing actions by the bristles as they are moved adjacent the surface. The hub and bristles may be integrally molded in a first condition having a planar form, and then folded relative to the hub to position the bristles extending from the hub in a cleaning direction from the hub. The hubs are secured to mounting structures by reception of the hubs in apertures in the mounting structures. In an embodiment, the mounting surfaces comprise flexible stanchions which are moved relative to an external surface to provide high resolution washing of a vehicle surface.
