Dual brush

Abstract

A dual brush is disclosed having a handle and housing substructure for storing and dispensing cleaning solution. A flexible overmold forms a diaphragm pump to expel cleaning solution through a dispensing valve and port located between a removable brush head and a removable pad head. The removable brush and removable pad head are removably attached to the handle and housing substructure with a tab and slot arrangement, and are attached at an angle that facilitates ease of use at an optimal cleaning orientation.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A dual brush comprising:
 a hollow substructure comprising a dispensing handle and a dispensing housing formed together;   a first opening in the handle configured to receive a flexible overmold and so create a first diaphragm;   the housing having a first planar receiving surface formed at an angle with the longitudinal axis of the handle and having a second planar receiving surface formed at an opposing angle with the first planar receiving surface;   a first receiving slot and a second receiving slot integral with the first planar receiving surface;   a third receiving slot and a fourth receiving slot integral with the second planar receiving surface;   a dispensing port between the first planar receiving surface and the second planar receiving surface;   a dispensing valve placed within the dispensing port;   a removable brush head comprising a first tab and a second tab removably engaged with the first receiving slot and the second receiving slot of the first planar receiving surface;   a removable pad head comprising a third tab and a fourth tab removably engaged with the third receiving slot and the fourth receiving slot of the second planar receiving surface; and   a cap to removably seal the formed handle and housing.   
     
     
         2 . The dual brush of  claim 1 , further comprising a first receptacle and a second receptacle integral with the dispensing housing. 
     
     
         3 . The dual brush of  claim 1 , further comprising a fifth tab and a sixth tab attached to the removable brush head and a seventh tab and an eighth tab attached to the removable pad head. 
     
     
         4 . The dual brush of  claim 1 , wherein the removable brush head further comprises a brush release tab and wherein the first planar receiving surface further comprises a bevel to receive and retain said brush release tab. 
     
     
         5 . The dual brush of  claim 1 , wherein the removable pad head further comprises a pad release tab and wherein the second planar receiving surface further comprises a bevel to receive and retain said pad release tab. 
     
     
         6 . The dual brush of  claim 1 , further comprising a second opening in the handle to receive the flexible overmold and so create a second diaphragm. 
     
     
         7 . The dual brush of  claim 1 , wherein the substructure is optically clear. 
     
     
         8 . The dual brush of  claim 7 , wherein the flexible overmold covers the handle and forms an opening to allow for viewing of stored cleaning solution within the handle. 
     
     
         9 . The dual brush of  claim 1 , wherein the removable brush head further comprises a scraper part that protrudes out from the brush. 
     
     
         10 . The dual brush of  claim 1 , wherein the removable pad head further comprises a scraper part that protrudes out from the pad. 
     
     
         11 . The dual brush of  claim 1 , wherein the removable brush head further comprises a brush scraper part that protrudes out from the brush and the removable pad head further comprises a pad scraper part that protrudes out from the pad such that the brush scraper part and the pad scraper part form a scraper. 
     
     
         12 . The dual brush of  claim 1 , wherein the removable brush head further comprises a dispensing flare brush part that provides clear passageway of dispensed cleaning solution from the dispensing port. 
     
     
         13 . The dual brush of  claim 1 , wherein the removable pad head further comprises a dispensing flare pad part that provides clear passageway of dispensed cleaning solution from the dispensing port. 
     
     
         14 . The dual brush of  claim 1 , wherein the removable brush head further comprises a dispensing flare brush part and the removable pad further comprises a dispensing flare pad part that together form a dispensing flare that provides clear passageway of dispensed cleaning solution from the dispensing port. 
     
     
         15 . The dual brush of  claim 1 , wherein the pad head is slightly shorter than the brush head such that the brush head is only received by the first planar receiving surface and the pad head is only received by the second planar receiving surface. 
     
     
         16 . The dual brush of  claim 1 , wherein the cap further comprises a flexible overmold. 
     
     
         17 . A removable brush head comprising:
 a substrate having a first surface and a second surface;   a plurality of bristles protruding from the first surface of the substrate;   four tabs protruding from the second surface of the substrate;   a brush release tab protruding from the substrate; and   a dispensing flare brush part.   
     
     
         18 . The removable brush head of  claim 17 , further comprising a brush scraper part protruding from the substrate. 
     
     
         19 . A removable pad head comprising:
 a substrate having a first surface and a second surface;   a cleaning pad attached to the first surface of the substrate;   four tabs protruding from the second surface of the substrate;   a pad release tab protruding from the substrate; and   a dispensing flare pad part.   
     
     
         20 . The removable pad head of  claim 19 , further comprising a pad scraper part protruding from the substrate.
