E-Z clean brush

Abstract

A hairbrush comprising a set of bristles that are capable of being retracted into the outer wall to allow for the cleaning of debris from the brush. The handle and the head of the hairbrush rotate in opposite directions to allow the bristles of the hairbrush to be retracted into the outer wall to the point that the beaded ends are mated with the outer wall. Once the debris is removed, the handle and the head are rotated to the point where the bristles are in an extended position and then the handle and head are locked in this position by a locking mechanism.

1 . A hairbrush comprising: 
 a set of bristles attached to a rotating device; wherein the rotating device is coupled to an outer wall;    an inner chamber between the rotating device and the outer wall;    a handle attached to the rotating device; and    a locking device coupled to the handle and the rotating device.    
   
   
       2 . A hairbrush of  claim 1 , wherein the outer wall comprises holes that allow the bristles to extend through the outer wall.  
   
   
       3 . A hairbrush of  claim 1 , wherein the bristles contain a beaded end.  
   
   
       4 . A hairbrush of  claim 1 , wherein the handle operates to cause the bristles to rotate into the inner chamber.  
   
   
       5 . A hairbrush of  claim 1 , wherein the locking device operates to hold the handle in place when the bristles are rotated to an extended position.  
   
   
       6 . A hairbrush of  claim 1 , wherein the locking device operates to release the handle allowing the bristles to be rotated into a retracted position.  
   
   
       7 . A hairbrush of  claim 6 , wherein the beaded ends operate to seal the outer wall when in the retracted position.  
   
   
       8 . A hairbrush comprising: 
 a set of bristles having beaded ends; wherein the bristles are attached to a rotating device;    a head comprised of an inner chamber and an outer wall containing holes that allow the bristles to movably extend through;    said rotating device operable to cause the bristles to be retracted into an inner chamber of said head;    a handle attached to the rotating device wherein the handle cooperates with said rotating device to retract the bristles into the inner chamber wherein said beaded ends prevent the complete retraction of the bristles through the outer wall and into the inner chamber; and    a locking device coupled to the handle and the rotating device, wherein the locking device operates to allow the handle and rotating device to release or lock the bristles into an extended or retracted position such that hair and debris trapped on said bristles of said hairbrush can be removed from said bristles in said retracted position.    
   
   
       9 . A method for cleaning a hairbrush having a handle and a set of bristles attached to a rotating device, a head comprised of an inner chamber and an outer wall containing holes that allow the bristles to movably extend therethrough and wherein the handle cooperates with the rotating device comprising: 
 rotating the handle in a first direction to rotate the rotating device until the bristles retract into the inner chamber;    removing hair and debris from end portions of the bristles while the remaining portions of the bristles are retracted into the inner chamber;    rotating the handle in a second direction opposite the first direction to rotate the rotating device until the bristles return to an extended position.    
   
   
       10 . A method of  claim 9 , wherein the bristles comprise beaded ends to prevent the bristles from being fully retracted into said inner chamber.  
   
   
       11 . A method of  claim 9 , further comprising a locking device coupled to the handle and the rotating device wherein said locking device operates to allow the handle and rotating device to release or lock the bristles into the extended or retracted position.  
   
   
       12 . A method of  claim 9 , wherein said handle is comprised of a hard plastic.  
   
   
       13 . A method of  claim 9 , wherein the head is comprised of a rubber material.
