Cleaning covers for handles of swimming pool brushes and handles of swimming pool brushes formed therewith

Abstract

A pool brush includes a handle including a proximal end and a distal end attached to a bristled head, and a cover fitted removably over a length of the handle between the proximal end and the distal end, the cover including an outer surface. Bristles for cleaning project outwardly from the outer surface of the cover. In another embodiment, protuberances for cleaning project outwardly from the outer surface of the cover.

1 . A pool brush, comprising:
 a handle including a proximal end and a distal end attached to a bristled head;   a cover fitted removably over a length of the handle between the proximal end and the distal end, the cover including an outer surface and bristles for cleaning projecting outwardly from the outer surface of the cover.   
     
     
         2 . The pool brush according to  claim 1 , wherein the cover further comprises a first end proximate to the distal end and a second end between the proximal end and the distal end. 
     
     
         3 . The pool brush according to  claim 2 , wherein the cover further comprises:
 a first marginal extremity and a second marginal extremity concurrently extending from the first end and the second end of the cover;   the cover is wrapped about the length of the handle juxtaposing the first marginal extremity with the second marginal extremity; and   a fastener releasably securing the first marginal extremity to the second marginal extremity.   
     
     
         4 . The pool brush according to  claim 3 , wherein the fastener comprises a hook-and-loop fastener including an element thereof carried by the first marginal extremity and a complemental element thereof carried by the second marginal extremity. 
     
     
         5 . The pool brush according to  claim 1 , wherein the bristles are integral with the cover. 
     
     
         6 . The pool brush according to  claim 5 , wherein the cover and the bristles are formed of a material having inherently flexible, resilient, and elastic material characteristics. 
     
     
         7 . The pool brush according to  claim 6 , wherein the material comprises rubber. 
     
     
         8 . The pool brush according to  claim 1 , wherein the bristles of the cover are present throughout the outer surface of the cover. 
     
     
         9 . A pool brush, comprising:
 a handle including a proximal end and a distal end attached to a bristled head; and   a cover fitted removably over a length of the handle between the proximal end and the distal end, the cover including an outer surface and protuberances for cleaning projecting outwardly from the outer surface of the cover.   
     
     
         10 . The pool brush according to  claim 9 , wherein the cover further comprises a first end proximate to the distal end and a second end between the proximal end and the distal end. 
     
     
         11 . The pool brush according to  claim 10 , wherein the cover further comprises:
 a first marginal extremity and a second marginal extremity concurrently extending from the first end and the second end of the cover;   the cover is wrapped about the length of the handle juxtaposing the first marginal extremity with the second marginal extremity; and   a fastener releasably securing the first marginal extremity to the second marginal extremity.   
     
     
         12 . The pool brush according to  claim 11 , wherein the fastener comprises a hook-and-loop fastener including an element thereof carried by the first marginal extremity and a complemental element thereof carried by the second marginal extremity. 
     
     
         13 . The pool brush according to  claim 9 , wherein the protuberances are integral with the cover. 
     
     
         14 . The pool brush according to  claim 13 , wherein the cover and the protuberances are formed of a material having inherently flexible, resilient, and elastic material characteristics. 
     
     
         15 . The pool brush according to  claim 14 , wherein the material comprises rubber. 
     
     
         16 . The pool brush according to  claim 9 , wherein the protuberances are present throughout the outer surface of the cover.
