Abstract

A rotary brush cleaning device including a wheel configured to rotate in a direction based on a direction the rotary brush cleaning device is propelled, a brush element configured to rotate in an opposite direction of the wheel when the rotary brush cleaning device is propelled, a cover configured to enclose a top part of the wheel and the brush element, and a handle that is configured to provide a location for a user to propel the rotary brush cleaning device. A rotary brush cleaning system is also disclosed.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A rotary brush cleaning device comprising:
 a wheel configured to rotate in a direction based on a direction the rotary brush cleaning device is propelled;   a brush element configured to rotate in an opposite direction of the wheel when the rotary brush cleaning device is propelled;   a cover configured to enclose a top part of the wheel and the brush element; and   a handle that is configured to provide a location for a user to propel the rotary brush cleaning device.   
   
   
       2 . The rotary brush cleaning device according to  claim 1 , further comprising a vacuum connection element formed therethrough the cover configured to provide a connection for a vacuum device. 
   
   
       3 . The rotary brush cleaning device according to  claim 1 , further comprises a gear system configured to rotate the brush element in an opposite direction of the wheel when the rotary brush cleaning device is propelled. 
   
   
       4 . The rotary brush cleaning device according to  claim 1 , wherein the handle is detachable from the rotary brush cleaning device and is attachable to another cleaning device. 
   
   
       5 . The rotary brush cleaning device according to  claim 1 , wherein the handle attached to the rotary brush cleaning device on opposite sides of the rotary brush cleaning device at an attachment location. 
   
   
       6 . The rotary brush cleaning device according to  claim 5 , wherein the handle is rotatable about the attachment location. 
   
   
       7 . The rotary brush cleaning device according to  claim 6 , further comprising a stopper element configured to prevent the handle from rotating beyond a predetermined location. 
   
   
       8 . The rotary brush cleaning device according to  claim 3 , wherein the gear system is at least one of a mechanical gear system and an electrical gear system. 
   
   
       9 . The rotary brush cleaning device according to  claim 1 , further comprising a pole configured to at least one of attach to and extend from the handle. 
   
   
       10 . The rotary brush cleaning device according to  claim 1 , wherein the cover is further configured to provide an opening between the cover and at least one of the brush element and wheel so that debris may pass therebetween. 
   
   
       11 . The rotary brush cleaning device according to  claim 1 , wherein the cover is further configured to direct the rotary brush cleaning device to remain in contact with a surface when the rotary brush cleaning device is submerged in a liquid and is propelled. 
   
   
       12 . A rotary brush cleaning system, the system comprising:
 a rotary brush device including a wheel configured to rotate in a direction based on a direction the rotary brush device is propelled, a brush element configured to rotate in an opposite direction of the wheel when the rotary brush device is propelled, a cover that encloses a top part of the wheel and the brush element, a vacuum connection element formed therethrough the cover, and a handle that is configured to provide a location for a user to propel the rotary brush device;   a vacuum generating device configured to connect to the vacuum connection element;   a pole configured to connect to the handle; and   wherein the vacuum generating device is connected to the vacuum connection element through at least one of the pole and through a vacuum hose.   
   
   
       13 . The system according to  claim 12 , further comprises a mini-vacuum hose configured to extend between the handle and the vacuum connection element. 
   
   
       14 . The system according to  claim 12 , wherein the cover is further configured to provide an opening between the cover and at least one of the brush element and wheel so that debris may pass therebetween. 
   
   
       15 . The system according to  claim 12 , wherein the cover is further configured to direct the rotary brush device to remain in contact with a surface when the rotary brush device is submerged in a liquid and is propelled. 
   
   
       16 . The system according to  claim 12 , further comprises a gear system configured to rotate the brush element in an opposite direction of the wheel when the rotary brush device is propelled. 
   
   
       17 . The system according to  claim 16 , wherein the gear system is at least one of a mechanical gear system and an electrical gear system. 
   
   
       18 . The system according to  claim 17 , wherein the electrical gear system is located within a water-proof enclosure. 
   
   
       19 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein the handle is rotatable about an attachment location on the rotary brush device. 
   
   
       20 . The system according to  claim 1 , further comprising a stopper element on the rotary brush device configured to prevent the handle from rotating beyond a predefined position.
