Abstract

A brush head includes a frame and an assembly of brush sections connected thereto. The assembly of brush sections includes first and second wing brushes and a central brush therebetween. The first wing brush is pivotally interconnected to the frame at a first hinge, and the second wing brush is pivotally interconnected to the frame at a second hinge. The wing brushes move from a first, rest orientation, angled with one another when at rest or lightly loaded; to a second, load orientation, parallel and colinear with one another when loaded.

1 . A brush head comprising: 
 a frame and an assembly of brush sections connected thereto,    said assembly of brush sections include first and second wing brushes and a central brush therebetween;    said first wing brush pivotally interconnected to said frame at a first hinge; and,    said second wing brush pivotally interconnected to said frame at a second hinge.    
   
   
       2 . The brush head of  claim 1 , wherein said central brush is fixedly connected to said frame.  
   
   
       3 . The brush head of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of said first wing brush and said second wing brush hinges from a first position to a second position; 
 said wing brush first position at an angle from about 30° to about 70° relative to said frame; and,    said wing brush second position co-planar with said frame.    
   
   
       4 . The brush head of  claim 1 , wherein said central brush co-planar with said frame.  
   
   
       5 . The brush head of  claim 1 , wherein said frame includes a collar adapted to receive a handle.  
   
   
       6 . The brush head of  claim 1 , wherein said first hinge and said second hinge are distal to said central brush.  
   
   
       7 . The brush head of  claim 6 , wherein said first wing brush and said second wing brush are spring biased from a load position to a rest position.  
   
   
       8 . The brush head of  claim 7 , wherein said first wing brush and said second wing brush are oriented at an angle from about 30° to about 70° relative to said frame when said brush head is in said rest position.  
   
   
       9 . The brush head of  claim 7 , wherein said first wing brush, said second wing brush, and said central brush are co-planar when said brush head is in said load position.  
   
   
       10 . A brush head attachment comprising: 
 a frame, said frame having a fixed central brush; and,    a first and a second wing brush hingedly connected to said frame on opposing sides of said central brush.    
   
   
       11 . The brush head attachment of  claim 10 , wherein said central brush including inwardly directed bristles.  
   
   
       12 . The brush head attachment of  claim 10 , wherein said first wing brush and said second wing brush include outwardly directed bristles.  
   
   
       13 . The brush head attachment of  claim 11 , wherein said first wing brush and said second wing brush include outwardly directed bristles whereby said inwardly directed bristles of said central brush intermingle with adjacent said outwardly directed bristles of said first and said second wing brushes.  
   
   
       14 . The brush head attachment of  claim 13 , wherein said outwardly directed bristles being of a first length; and, 
 said inwardly directed bristles being of a second length;    
   
   
       15 . The brush head attachment of  claim 14 , wherein said first length greater than second length.  
   
   
       16 . The brush head attachment of  claim 14 , wherein said first length less than said second length.  
   
   
       17 . The brush head attachment of  claim 10 , wherein said first and said second wing brushes hingedly connected at opposing ends of said frame whereby said wing brushes rotate from an inwardly extending angle to a linear orientation relative to said frame.  
   
   
       18 . A brush head comprising: 
 a frame;    a first wing brush having a hinge and a second wing brush having a hinge, said first and said second wing brushes hingedly connected on opposing ends of said frame;    said hinges being spring biased from a load position to a rest position; and,    said wing brushes at an inwardly extending angle relative to said frame when said brush head is at said rest position.    
   
   
       19 . The brush head of  claim 18 , further including a central brush, said central brush fixedly connected to said frame between said first wing brush and said second wing brush.  
   
   
       20 . The brush head of  claim 18 , wherein each said spring biased hinge includes a first stop, whereby said first stop limits inward rotation of said wing brushes when said brush head is at said rest position.  
   
   
       21 . The brush head of  claim 18 , wherein said wing brushes are co-planar relative to said frame when said brush head is at said load position.  
   
   
       22 . The brush head of  claim 21 , wherein each said spring biased hinge includes a second stop, whereby said second stop limits outward rotation of said wing brushes when said brush head is at said load position.  
   
   
       23 . The brush head of  claim 22 , wherein said wing brushes include bristles extending therefrom, said wing brushes articulate from said rest position to said load position when a downward force is applied to said wing brush bristles and said wing brush bristles are frictionally engaged with and moved across a floor.  
   
   
       24 . The brush head of  claim 18 , further including a handle, said handle rotatably connected to said frame.  
   
   
       25 . The brush head of  claim 24 , wherein said frame includes a central axis, said handle rotatable about said axis.  
   
   
       26 . The brush head of  claim 24 , wherein said handle is angulated including a first upwardly extending section and a second outwardly extending section.
