Abstract

This disclosure relates to a stain removal device. The stain removal device includes a brush housing. The stain removal device further includes at least one brush assembly enclosed within the brush housing. Each of the at least one brush assembly includes a cylindrical brush body and replaceable bristles covering the cylindrical brush body. The stain removal device further includes a cleansing solvent chamber in fluid communication with the brush housing via at least one dispensing slot. The cleansing solvent chamber is configured to store a cleansing solvent and dispense the cleansing solvent on the brush assembly through the at least one dispensing slot. The stain removal device further includes a washing slot in proximity to the at least one brush assembly. The washing slot is configured to receive a stained object. The stained object is in contact with corresponding replaceable bristles of the at least one brush assembly.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A stain removal device, comprising:
 a brush housing;   at least one brush assembly enclosed within the brush housing, wherein each of the at least one brush assembly comprises:
 a cylindrical brush body, wherein the cylindrical brush body is rotatable about a rotation axis; and 
 replaceable bristles covering the cylindrical brush body; 
   a cleansing solvent chamber in fluid communication with the brush housing via at least one dispensing slot, wherein the cleansing solvent chamber is configured to:
 store a cleansing solvent when the at least one dispensing slot is in a closed configuration; and 
 dispense the cleansing solvent on the brush assembly through the at least one dispensing slot when the at least one dispensing slot is in an open configuration; and 
   a washing slot in proximity to the at least one brush assembly, wherein the washing slot is configured to receive a stained object, wherein the stained object is in contact with corresponding replaceable bristles of the at least one brush assembly.   
     
     
         2 . The stain removal device of  claim 1 , further comprising a tray assembly positioned below the brush housing at an adjustable distance, wherein the tray assembly is configured to collect run-off cleansing solvent from the brush assembly. 
     
     
         3 . The stain removal device of  claim 2 , wherein the tray assembly comprises one or more drainage pores, and wherein the one or more drainage pores are configured to drain the run-off cleansing solvent. 
     
     
         4 . The stain removal device of  claim 2 , wherein the tray assembly is detachable from the brush housing in a slidable manner, and wherein tray assembly is slidably detached to remove the run-off cleansing solvent. 
     
     
         5 . The stain removal device of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one motor configured to drive the at least one brush assembly about the rotation axis at a variable rotational speed in one of a clockwise direction or an anti-clockwise direction. 
     
     
         6 . The stain removal device of  claim 1 , wherein the cleansing solvent chamber is attached to one of:
 a side wall of the brush housing, or   a top wall of the brush housing.   
     
     
         7 . The stain removal device of  claim 1 , further comprising a water inlet configured to supply water to one of the brush housing or the cleansing solvent chamber from a water source. 
     
     
         8 . The stain removal device of  claim 1 , further comprising a clip mechanism affixed to one of the brush housing or the tray assembly, wherein the clip mechanism is configured to hold the stained object. 
     
     
         9 . A washing machine attachment, comprising:
 a stain removal device comprising:
 a brush housing, wherein the brush housing comprises an attachment means; 
 at least one brush assembly enclosed within the brush housing, wherein each of the at least one brush assembly comprises:
 a cylindrical brush body, wherein the cylindrical brush body is rotatable about a rotation axis; and 
 replaceable bristles covering the cylindrical brush body; 
 
 a cleansing solvent chamber in fluid communication with the brush housing via at least one dispensing slot, wherein the cleansing solvent chamber is configured to:
 store a cleansing solvent, wherein the at least one dispensing slot is in a closed configuration; and 
 dispense the cleansing solvent on the brush assembly through the at least one dispensing slot, wherein the at least one dispensing slot is in an open configuration; and 
 
 a washing slot in proximity to the at least one brush assembly, wherein the washing slot is configured to receive a stained object, wherein the stained object is in contact with corresponding replaceable bristles of the at least one brush assembly, 
   wherein the stain removal device is attachable to a washing machine through the attachment means.   
     
     
         10 . The washing machine attachment of  claim 9 , further comprising a tray assembly positioned below the brush housing at an adjustable distance, wherein the tray assembly is configured to collect run-off cleansing solvent from the brush assembly. 
     
     
         11 . The washing machine attachment of  claim 10 , wherein the tray assembly comprises one or more drainage pores, and wherein the one or more drainage pores are configured to drain the run-off cleansing solvent. 
     
     
         12 . The washing machine attachment of  claim 10 , wherein the tray assembly is detachable from the brush housing in a slidable manner, and wherein tray assembly is slidably detached to remove the run-off cleansing solvent. 
     
     
         13 . The washing machine of  claim 9 , further comprising at least one motor configured to drive the at least one brush assembly about the rotation axis at a variable rotational speed in one of a clockwise direction or an anti-clockwise direction. 
     
     
         14 . The washing machine attachment of  claim 9 , wherein the cleansing solvent chamber is attached to one of:
 a side wall of the brush housing, or   a top wall of the brush housing.   
     
     
         15 . The washing machine attachment of  claim 9 , further comprising a water inlet configured to supply water to one of the brush housing or the cleansing solvent chamber from a water source. 
     
     
         16 . The stain removal device of  claim 9 , further comprising a clip mechanism affixed to one of the brush housing or the tray assembly, wherein the clip mechanism is configured to hold the stained object.
