Automobile duster with reversible handle

Abstract

A brush having an ergonomic handle is utilized in conjunction with a body in different orientations as a result of rotation of the handle. Suitable handles are readily removed from the body by the user by operating a spade shaped clip or other quick release mechanism. It is especially desirable to provide a collection of interchangeable brushes and handles that provide numerous permutations for different uses. It is further contemplated that the advantages of such a system of brushes could benefit from advertising that directs potential consumers to usefulness with respect to automotive care.

1 . A dusting system, comprising 
 a dusting base coupled to a dusting surface;    a curved handle; and    a quick release mechanism that releasably couples the handle and the base such that orientation of the handle to the dusting surface is altered by rotating the handle with respect to the base.    
   
   
       2 . The dusting system of  claim 1  wherein the dusting base has a receiving cavity adapted to receive the curved handle.  
   
   
       3 . The dusting system of  claim 2  wherein the cavity comprises a slot.  
   
   
       4 . The dusting system of  claim 2  wherein the cavity comprises a shoulder.  
   
   
       5 . The dusting system of  claim 2 , wherein the cavity comprises a tab receiving indentation.  
   
   
       6 . The dusting system of  claim 1  wherein the mechanism comprises at least two arms that are biased apart from one another, and that are pushed towards one another to release the handle.  
   
   
       7 . The dusting system of  claim 1  wherein the handle comprises an ergonomic feature.  
   
   
       8 . The dusting system of  claim 1  wherein the ergonomic feature comprises an indentation for a thumb.  
   
   
       9 . The dusting system of  claim 1  wherein the handle has a top and a bottom and each of the top and the bottom has an indentation for receiving a finger or thumb.  
   
   
       10 . The dusting system of  claim 10  wherein the indentation in the top is a mirror image of the indentation in the bottom.  
   
   
       11 . The dusting system of  claim 1  further comprising at least one indentation in the base for receiving a portion of a hand of a user.  
   
   
       12 . The dusting system of  claim 1  wherein the base has a longest dimension, and the handle is longer than the longest dimension of the base.  
   
   
       13 . The dusting system of  claim 12  wherein the handle is disposed substantially perpendicular to the base.  
   
   
       14 . The dusting system of  claim 13  wherein the handle comprises at least two telescoping pieces.  
   
   
       15 . The dusting system of  claim 1  further comprising identifying information that identifies the brush as being for automotive use.  
   
   
       16 . A method of marketing a duster, comprising: 
 providing a plurality of interchangeable duster surfaces and handles of different sizes, shapes or curvatures;    advertising the plurality of interchangeable bases and handles as being adapted to clean different parts of an automotive vehicle.
