Abstract

The weighted deformable cleaning device deforms to pass through narrow openings of a container, such as a bottle. The added mass from the weighted sack allows for increased frictional cleaning forces when the container is agitated, thereby increasing the cleaning efficiency of the device.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A weighted deformable cleaning device comprising:
 a deformable exterior sac having an interior volume;   a deformable weighted sac removably inserted into said interior volume of said deformable exterior sac;   wherein said deformable exterior sac and said deformable weighted sac have a non-deformed cross-section area and are configured to deform to fit through an opening smaller than said non-deformed cross-section area; and   wherein said deformable exterior sac further comprises a textured surface.   
     
     
         2 . The weighted deformable cleaning device of  claim 1 , wherein said deformable exterior sac further comprises an opening to said interior volume. 
     
     
         3 . The weighted deformable cleaning device of  claim 2 , wherein said deformable exterior sac further comprises a fastener configured to seal said opening. 
     
     
         4 . The weighted deformable cleaning device of  claim 3 , wherein said deformable weighted sac comprises a bead composition within an interior volume of said deformable weighted sac. 
     
     
         5 . The weighted deformable cleaning device of  claim 4 , wherein said bead composition comprises a plurality of weighted beads and a plurality of cushion beads. 
     
     
         6 . A weighted deformable cleaning device comprising:
 a deformable exterior sac having an interior volume;   a deformable weighted sac having an interior volume filled with a plurality of weighted beads and a plurality of cushion beads, said deformable weighted sac removably inserted into said interior volume of said deformable exterior sac.   
     
     
         7 . The weighted deformable cleaning device of  claim 6 , wherein said plurality of cushion beads are each between 0.125 to 0.5 times smaller than said plurality of weighted beads. 
     
     
         8 . The weighted deformable cleaning device of  claim 6 , wherein said plurality of cushion beads has a cushion bead quantity and said plurality of weighted beads has a weighted bead quantity wherein said cushion bead quantity exceeds said weighted bead quantity in said deformable weighted sac. 
     
     
         9 . The weighted deformable cleaning device of  claim 6 , wherein a volumetric weight of said plurality of cushion beads exceed a volumetric weight of said plurality of weighted beads. 
     
     
         10 . The weighted deformable cleaning device of  claim 6 , wherein a volumetric weight of said plurality of cushion beads exceed a volumetric weight of said plurality of weighted beads by a ratio of 2:1. 
     
     
         11 . A weighted deformable cleaning device comprising:
 a deformable exterior sac having an interior volume;   a deformable weighted sac having a bead composition removably inserted into said interior volume of said deformable exterior sac;   wherein said deformable exterior sac and said deformable weighted sac each have a non-deformed cross-section area and are each configured to deform to fit through an opening smaller than said non-deformed cross-section areas; and   wherein said deformable exterior sac further comprises a textured surface.   
     
     
         12 . The weighted deformable cleaning device of  claim 11 , wherein said deformable exterior sac further comprises an aperture to said interior surface. 
     
     
         13 . The weighted deformable cleaning device of  claim 12 , wherein said deformable exterior sac further comprises a fastener configured to close said aperture. 
     
     
         14 . The weighted deformable cleaning device of  claim 13 , wherein said deformable exterior sac further comprises a retrieval loop. 
     
     
         15 . The weighted deformable cleaning device of  claim 14 , wherein said textured surface of said deformable exterior sac is an abrasive surface. 
     
     
         16 . The weighted deformable cleaning device of  claim 15 , wherein said bead composition comprises a plurality of weighted beads and a plurality of cushion beads. 
     
     
         17 . The weighted deformable cleaning device of  claim 16 , wherein said cushion beads are between 0.125 to 0.5 times smaller than said weighted beads. 
     
     
         18 . The weighted deformable cleaning device of  claim 17 , wherein said plurality of cushion beads has a cushion bead quantity and said plurality of weighted beads has a weighted bead quantity wherein said cushion bead quantity exceeds said weighted bead quantity in said deformable weighted sac. 
     
     
         19 . The weighted deformable cleaning device of  claim 18 , wherein a volumetric weight of said plurality of cushion beads exceed a volumetric weight of said plurality of weighted beads. 
     
     
         20 . The weighted deformable cleaning device of  claim 19 , wherein a volumetric weight of said cushion beads exceed a volumetric weight of said weighted beads by a ratio of 2:1.
