Towel bowl brush

Abstract

A toilet bowl brush that is especially useful to industrial and commercial cleaners is provided. The toilet bowl brush has an elongated handle with a grasping portion and a connecting portion. The grasping portion and connection portion have centerlines at an angle to one another. A brush head body is connected to the connecting portion of the handle. Scrubbing bristles extend from the brush head body at a variety of angles, including at an acute angle of from about 35° to slightly less than 90°, relative to a centerline of the connection portion of the elongated handle.

I claim:

         2 . A toilet bowl brush according to  claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of said bristles projecting from the proximate body section projecting therefrom in a direction towards the handle at acute angles of from about less than about 90° to about 35° relative to the centerline at the second end section of the elongate handle.  
     
     
         3 . A toilet bowl brush according to  claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of said bristles projecting from the proximate body section projecting therefrom in a direction towards the handle at acute angles of from about 40° to about 55° relative to the centerline at the second end section of the elongate handle.  
     
     
         4 . A toilet bowl brush according to  claim 3 , wherein at least a portion of said bristles projecting from the proximate body section projecting therefrom in a direction toward the handle at acute angles of about 45° relative to the centerline at the second end section of the elongate handle.  
     
     
         5 . A toilet bowl brush according to  claim 1 , wherein the brush head body is removable attached to the elongate handle.  
     
     
         6 . A toilet bowl brush according to  claim 5 , wherein the second end section of the elongate handle comprise a hollow tubular member having one or more recesses positioned therein, and said proximate end of the brush head body having an radially projecting arm extending therefrom, said arm having one or more outwardly biased flexible protuberances, the arm being received in the hollow tubular member and the one or more protuberances being received in the one or more recesses for retaining the brush head body on the elongate handle.  
     
     
         7 . A toilet bowl according to  claim 2 , wherein the second end section of the elongate handle comprise a hollow tubular member having one or more recesses positioned therein, and said proximate end of the brush head body has an radially projecting arm extending therefrom, said arm having one or more outwardly biased flexible protuberances, the arm being received in the hollow tubular member and the one or more protuberances being received in the one or more recesses for retaining the brush head body on the elongate handle.  
     
     
         8 . A toilet bowl according to  claim 1  wherein the bristles protruding from the brush head body are folded bristles anchored in holes on the brush head body by staples into the holes.  
     
     
         9 . The toilet bowl brush according to  claim 8 , wherein the bristles are plastic bristles and project radially from the brush head body a distance of at least one-inch or more.  
     
     
         10 . The toilet bowl brush according to  claim 9 , wherein the bristles are polypropylene.  
     
     
         11 . The toilet bowl brush according to  claim 10 , wherein the bristles project at least about three inches or more.  
     
     
         12 . The toilet bowl brush according to  claim 9 , wherein the bristles are essentially circular in radial cross-section.  
     
     
         13 . The toilet bowl brush according to  claim 1 , wherein the elongate handle is from about 24 to about 30 inches in length.  
     
     
         14 . A toilet bowl brush according to  claim 1 , wherein 
 at least a portion of said bristles projecting from the proximate body section projecting therefrom in a direction towards the handle at acute angles of from about 40° to about 55° relative to the handle centerline at the second end of the elongate handle,    the second end section of the elongate handle comprise a hollow tubular member having one or more recesses positioned therein, and said proximate end of the brush head body has an radially projecting arm extending therefrom, said arm having one or more flexible protuberances, the arm being received in the hollow tubular member and the one or more protuberances being removably received in the one or more recesses for retaining the brush head body on the elongate handle,    the bristles are folded plastic bristles anchored in holes on the brush head body by staples, said bristles being essentially circular in radial cross-section and projecting radially from the brush head body a distance of at least about three inches or more, and    the elongate handle is from about 24 to about 30 inches in length.    
     
     
         15 .
