Liquid-permeable brush roll for use with cleaners including robotic cleaners

This invention describes a brush roll designed for cleaning machines, including robotic ones, that can store cleaning fluid internally. The brush has a refillable reservoir accessible via a removable stopper, which also serves to connect the brush to the machine's motor for rotation. Cleaning fluid seeps out through small holes in the brush's surface, which is covered by a multi-layer outer sheath.

Why it matters: Since 2021, robotic cleaners have become more sophisticated, with an increasing focus on integrated wet cleaning functions. This design, which combines fluid storage directly within a spinning brush roll and simplifies refilling, could offer a more streamlined solution than separate mopping attachments.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: ModerateCustom molded body, stopper, and brush sheath.
