Abstract

An assembly of a sink magnetically engaging a dishwashing brush, one of the sink and the brush comprising a magnet and the other of the sink and the brush comprising a magnet or a magnetically permeable material. In one embodiment, the brush comprises a first and a second part, the first part being adapted to be grasped by a user, and the second part comprising bristles, the first and second part each having a longitudinal axis, the longitudinal axes of the first and second parts having a non-zero angle there between, the sink comprises the magnet or magnetically permeable material at a position at a side thereof, the sink having an upper rim and a center portion, and the brush comprises the magnet or magnetically permeable material in a position so that, when engaging the sink, the second part is positioned over the sink and within the upper rim, whereas the first part extends above the upper rim and away from the center portion of the sink.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 - 12 . (canceled) 
     
     
         13 . An assembly of a sink magnetically engaging a dishwashing brush, one of the sink and the brush comprising a magnet and the other of the sink and the brush comprising a magnet or a magnetically permeable material. 
     
     
         14 . An assembly according to  claim 13 , wherein:
 the brush comprises a first and a second part, the first part being adapted to be grasped by a user, and the second part comprising bristles, the first and second part each having a longitudinal axis, the longitudinal axes of the first and second parts having a non-zero angle there between,   the sink comprises the magnet or magnetically permeable material at a position at a side thereof, the sink having an upper rim and a center portion, and   the brush comprises the magnet or magnetically permeable material in a position so that, when engaging the sink, the second part is positioned over the sink and within the upper rim, whereas the first part extends above the upper rim and away from the center portion of the sink.   
     
     
         15 . An assembly according to  claim 14 , wherein the brush has a protrusion adapted to be adjacent to or abutting the rim portion, when the brush engages the sink. 
     
     
         16 . An assembly according to  claim 13 , wherein a handle of the brush, when magnetically engaging the sink, points in a direction away from a bottom of the sink. 
     
     
         17 . An assembly according to  claim 16 , wherein the magnet/magnetically permeable material of the sink is positioned at the bottom and where the magnet/magnetically permeable material of the brush is positioned in or at the handle. 
     
     
         18 . An assembly according to  claim 16 , wherein the magnet/magnetically permeable material of the sink is positioned at a side thereof at a predetermined distance from the bottom and where the magnet/magnetically permeable material of the brush is positioned in or at the handle. 
     
     
         19 . A brush for use in the assembly according to  claim 13 . 
     
     
         20 . A brush according to  claim 19 , the brush comprising:
 a first and a second part, the first part being adapted to be grasped by a user, and the second part comprising bristles, the first and second part each having a longitudinal axis, the longitudinal axes of the first and second parts having a non-zero angle there between, and   a magnet or magnetically permeable material provided at a first side of the brush where the angle between the longitudinal axes of the first and second parts is the smallest.   
     
     
         21 . A brush according to  claim 19 , further comprising a projection positioned at the first side. 
     
     
         22 . A brush for use in the assembly according to  claim 17 , the magnet or magnetically permeable material being positioned at an end portion thereof opposite a handle thereof. 
     
     
         23 . A brush for use in the assembly according to  claim 18 , the magnet or magnetically permeable material being positioned at or in a handle thereof. 
     
     
         24 . A sink for use in the assembly according to  claim 13 , the sink comprising a magnet positioned in a material of the sink wall or bottom or which is fixed to an outer surface of the sink.
