Tub scrub/scrubber

Abstract

There are several reasons this invention is new and different. It will be manufactured with a lightweight plastic tubular handle that is about 3-3½ feet long, which will aid in the convenience and physical need of not having to bend over the bathtub for cleaning. This can also make other jobs such as washing a car, boat etc. easier by the use of detachable brushes, sponges or chamois. Because it is battery operated, the circular movement of the sponge, brush or chamois together with a good cleanser aids in the cleaning action. The plastic or plastic and aluminum combination handle is lightweight. The rubber grip makes it easier to hold and the nylon cord at the end is convenient for storage.

What I claim as my own invention is:  
     
         1 . I claim that the long or extended handled battery operated tub scrubber product is my idea and invention.  
       I conceived of this idea while cleaning the bathtub, which is a backbreaking job.  
       I also thought this job would be even easier if the handle had detachable heads such as a sponge, brush or chamois, which would turn in a circular motion and would make the tub cleaning etc. much easier.  
       The detachable heads would turn in a circular motion by battery power. A Nycad Battery with recharger, or approximately 6 C cell batteries could be used effectively.  
       It took an enormous amount of research to find the appropriate D.C. Micro Servo Motor, and additional research to find how to make the tub scrubber battery operated. Two different methods, as described, can be used. 
 1. 6 C Cell batteries will give about 26 hours of use time.  
 2. A Nycad battery is good for 1 year with 1 hour of use time before re-charging.  
 Not only does the long or extended handle and convenience of batteries make this product desirable for almost anyone, but particularly for the physically challenged and the senior population.  
 The tub scrubber product becomes even more appealing by the detachable heads, which will be circular and in the form of a sponge, brush or chamois.  
 The invention's main objective was to solve three (3) problems. To produce a long handled tub scrubber so one does not have to bend over to clean the bathtub, is battery operated, and to make the circular movement of the sponge, brush or chamois clean a surface without hand or hard scrubbing.  
 The focus is on the bathtub but this product can also be used on a boat, car sink, shower etc.
