Convertible implement

Abstract

The present invention provides a implement, having an operable head connected to a handle. The first implement is removably connected to a second implement also having an operable head connected to a handle.

1 . A convertible implement comprising:
 a first handle having a first connecting element;   a first head connected to said first handle, said first head having an operable portion;   a second handle having a second connecting element, said second connecting element configured to engage said first connecting element;   a second head connected to said second handle, said second head having an operable portion;   wherein said second handle is removably connected to said first handle by way of said first and second connection members to align said operable portion of said first head with said operable portion of said second head.   
     
     
         2 . The convertible implement of  claim 1  wherein said first connecting element is a magnet. 
     
     
         3 . The convertible implement of  claim 2  wherein said second connecting element is capable of magnetic connection with said magnet. 
     
     
         4 . The convertible implement of  claim 3  wherein said first connection member extends longitudinally along said first handle and said second connection member extends longitudinally along said second handle. 
     
     
         5 . The convertible implement of  claim 3  wherein said second connection member includes a plurality of metallic members positioned along the length of said second handle. 
     
     
         6 . The convertible implement of  claim 1  wherein said first head is removably connected to said first handle. 
     
     
         7 . The convertible implement of  claim 6  wherein said second head is removably connected to said second handle. 
     
     
         8 . The convertible implement of  claim 1  wherein said first operable portion comprises paintbrush bristles. 
     
     
         9 . The convertible implement of  claim 8  wherein said second operable portion comprises paintbrush bristles. 
     
     
         10 . A convertible implement comprising:
 a first handle having a first operable head connected thereto, said first operable head comprising one of a bristle head, a scraper, a hairbrush, a screwdriver or a rake;   a first connection member connected to said first handle;   a second handle having a second operable head connected thereto, said second operable head corresponding to the first operable head;   a second connection member connected to said second handle; and   wherein said second handle is removably connected to said first handle.   
     
     
         11 . The convertible implement of  claim 10  further comprising a guide member extending outward from said first handle. 
     
     
         12 . The convertible implement of  claim 11  further comprising a receiving portion in said second handle. 
     
     
         13 . The convertible implement of  claim 12  wherein said guide member is a rivet. 
     
     
         14 . The convertible implement of  claim 12  wherein said guide member is a screw. 
     
     
         15 . The convertible implement of  claim 14  wherein said receiving portion is defined by a threaded cavity in said second handle. 
     
     
         16 . The convertible implement of  claim 10  wherein said first operable head is removably connected to said first handle. 
     
     
         17 . The convertible implement of  claim 16  wherein said removable connection comprises an elongated substantially trapezoidal member extending substantially perpendicularly outward from the distal end of said first handle, and a first body interconnected between said first handle and said first operable head, said first body having a groove capable of slidingly engaging said trapezoidal member.
