Utility mitten

Abstract

A mitt comprising inner and outer layers of relatively soft material adapted to fit about a bristled brush to encapsulate a quantity of sudsy water, the material being perforated to permit relatively uniform dispersal of the sudsy water over the finish of an automobile to clean the same, while inhibiting damage to the finish by protecting the finish from the bristles of the brush.

1 . An accessory in the nature of a mitt for covering a bristled brush used for cleaning the finish of a vehicle or the like, said mitt comprising: 
 a tube of soft pliable material, said tube having an opening formed therein, said opening being of such size as to receive a bristled brush therethrough such that said material completely covers the bristles of the brush;    a closure for securing said tube about the brush; and a series of openings in said material in proximity to the bristles of the brush to permit disgorgement of sudsy water in said tube.    
   
   
       2 . The accessory of  claim 1 , wherein said tube comprises at least two layers of material.  
   
   
       3 . The accessory of  claim 1 , wherein said closure is a strap having a hook and loop device for securing said material about the brush.  
   
   
       4 . The accessory of  claim 1 , wherein said material in proximity to the bristles of the brush prevent the bristles from protruding beyond the boundary of said material to thereby prevent contact between the bristles and the finish of the vehicle to be cleaned.  
   
   
       5 . The accessory of  claim 1 , wherein the exterior surface of said material covering the bristles of the brush presents a soft smooth surface for cleaning the finish contacted by said material without scratching or marring the finish.  
   
   
       6  . An accessory in the nature of a mitt for covering a bristled brush used for cleaning the finish of a vehicle or the like, said mitt comprising: 
 a tube of outer material, said tube having a closed end, and an open end opposite said closed end, said tube adapted to fit about a bristled brush completely covering the bristles thereof;    an inner layer of material interfaced with said outer layer of material;    a closure for securing said tube about the brush; and    a series of openings in said inner and outer materials in proximity to the bristles of the brush to permit disgorgement of sudsy water in said tube without permitting the bristles to come into contact with the finish to be cleaned.    
   
   
       7 . The accessory of  claim 6 , wherein said closure is a strap having a hook and loop device for securing said material about the brush.  
   
   
       8 . The accessory of  claim 6 , wherein said material in proximity to the bristles of the brush prevent the bristles from protruding beyond the boundary of said material to thereby prevent contact between the bristles and the finish of the vehicle to be cleaned.  
   
   
       9 . The accessory of  claim 6 , wherein the exterior surface of said material covering the bristles of the brush presents a soft smooth surface for cleaning the finish contacted by said material without scratching or marring the finish.
