Truss brush

Abstract

A truss brush assembly is provided. The truss brush assembly pivotably and rotatably interconnects an elongated telescoping pole and an arrangement of spaced apart brushes that operatively engage the underside and sides of a beam or other member of a working truss. The interconnection includes a handle mount providing a swivel connection to a channel housing supporting the arrangement of spaced apart brushes.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A truss brush assembly, comprising:
 a channel housing having a base housing wall and a first side housing wall and a second side housing wall;   said housing walls joined to define a U-shaped channel;   a swivel mounted to an outer surface of the base housing wall;   a handle mount pivotably connected to the swivel; and   an arrangement of spaced apart brushes connected along an inner surface of the U-shaped channel, wherein said arrangement of spaced apart brushes define a brush gap dimensioned to receive a width of dimensional lumber.   
     
     
         2 . The truss brush assembly of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 an elongated pole operatively associated with the handle mount opposite the swivel.   
     
     
         3 . The truss brush assembly of  claim 2 , wherein the elongated pole is telescopic. 
     
     
         4 . The truss brush assembly of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a channel brush holder having a base holder wall and a first side holder wall and a second side holder wall;   said holder walls joined to define an outer surface generally coextensive with said inner surface of the U-shaped channel;   said holder walls nested in said inner surface of the U-shaped channel; and   said arrangement of spaced apart joined along an inner surface of the holder walls.   
     
     
         5 . The truss brush assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the swivel rotates  360  degrees about an axis orthogonal relative to said outer surface of the base housing wall. 
     
     
         6 . A truss brush assembly, comprising:
 a channel housing having a base housing wall and a first side housing wall and a second side housing wall;   said housing walls joined to define a U-shaped channel;   a swivel mounted to an outer surface of the base housing wall;   a handle mount pivotably connected to the swivel, wherein the swivel rotates  360  degrees about an axis orthogonal relative to said outer surface of the base housing wall;   an elongated telescopic pole operatively associated with the handle mount opposite the swivel;   a channel brush holder having a base holder wall and a first side holder wall and a second side holder wall;   said holder walls joined to define an outer surface generally coextensive with said inner surface of the U-shaped channel;   said holder walls nested in said inner surface of the U-shaped channel; and   said arrangement of spaced apart joined along an inner surface of the holder walls, wherein said arrangement of spaced apart brushes define a rush gap dimensioned to receive a width of dimensional lumber.
