Pool tile dual brush head and method of assembly

Abstract

The present invention introduces a pool tile dual brush head and its method of assembly, designed for user convenience and ease of manufacturing. The brush head comprises a T-shaped pole assembly that includes a central pole and two connection poles, each having proximal and distal ends and designed to attach substantially perpendicularly to the central pole. The distal ends of the connection poles accommodate various cleaning elements, such as bristle brushes, scouring pads, sponge brushes, and others, which can be attached through a rigid base. A key feature of the brush head is its stability, achieved through a unified nut and bolt assembly that connects all the primary components. This nut and bolt assembly ensures stability and facilitates easy disassembly and the interchangeability of cleaning elements. Furthermore, certain embodiments of the invention incorporate coupling adapters for enhanced joint stability, along with an end cap on the central pole.
