Abstract

A paint brush cleaner device includes a solid cylinder with a series of rigid teeth integrally extending radially from the cylinder and a shank securely mounted to a lower end of the cylinder. The shank is configured to be received and securely held in the chuck and adjustable jaws of a commercially-available power drill.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A paint brush cleaner device comprising:
 an upper section comprising an arbor, the arbor comprising an upper end opposing a lower end, wherein the arbor comprising a plurality of a series of rigid teeth integrally extending radially from the arbor; and   a lower section comprising a shank securely mounted to the lower end of the arbor.   
     
     
         2 . The paint brush cleaner device of  claim 1 , wherein the arbor is solid. 
     
     
         3 . The paint brush cleaner device of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of the series of rigid teeth is oriented orthogonally to one another and uniformly spaced circumferentially about the arbor. 
     
     
         4 . The paint brush cleaner device of  claim 1 , wherein the teeth of the plurality of the series of rigid teeth are uniformly sized. 
     
     
         5 . The paint brush cleaner device of  claim 1 , wherein the shank is received and securely held in a chuck and adjustable jaws of a commercially-available power drill. 
     
     
         6 . The paint brush cleaner device of  claim 1 , wherein the shank is received and securely held in a collet of a commercially-available power drill. 
     
     
         7 . A paint brush cleaner device comprising:
 an upper section comprising an arbor, the arbor comprising an upper end opposing a lower end, wherein the arbor comprises a plurality of a series of rigid teeth extending transversely through the arbor; and   a lower section comprising a shank securely mounted to the lower end of the arbor.   
     
     
         8 . The paint brush cleaner device of  claim 7 , wherein the arbor is solid. 
     
     
         9 . The paint brush cleaner device of  claim 7 , wherein each of the series of rigid teeth is oriented orthogonally to one another in a staggered or overlapping fashion, and wherein each of the series of rigid teeth is uniformly spaced circumferentially about the arbor. 
     
     
         10 . The paint brush cleaner device of  claim 7 , wherein the teeth of the plurality of the series of rigid teeth are uniformly sized. 
     
     
         11 . The paint brush cleaner device of  claim 7 , wherein the shank is received and securely held in a chuck and adjustable jaws of a commercially-available power drill 
     
     
         12 . The paint brush cleaner device of  claim 7 , wherein the shank is received and securely held in a collet of a commercially-available power drill.
