Basting brush having nubs formed on the brush elements

Abstract

A basting brush has a plurality of bristles attached to a handle. The bristles are fabricated of a flexible silica material and have nubs formed therealong. These nubs are preferably circular and extend outwardly from the sides of the bristles at an angle substantially normal to the longitudinal axes of the bristles. The nubs are spaced from each other along the longitudinal axes of the bristles. The nubs on adjacent bristles either abut against each other or on in very proximity to each other.

1 . A brush having a handle and a plurality of bristles attached thereto, 
 a plurality of nubs formed on the surface of each of said bristles;    said nubs extending outwardly from the longitudinal axes of said bristles,    said nubs being spaced from each other along the longitudinal axis of each of said bristles; and    some of the nubs of adjacent bristles abutting against each other while others of said nubs being in close proximity to each other.    
   
   
       2 . The brush of  claim 1  wherein said nubs are circular.  
   
   
       3 . The brush of  claim 1  wherein said nubs extend normal to the longitudinal axes of said bristles.  
   
   
       4 . The brush of  claim 1  wherein the bristles are fabricated of a flexible silica material.
