Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0064305A1] The invention relates to a carpet-cleaning brush, in particular for cleaning rugs or carpets which have been soiled by the hair of animals kept in the room. Said brush has bristles (3) in the form of an angle or arc, a brush body (2) for receiving said bristles, a brush head (1) which is fixed thereto and is provided with a handle, in addition to a dust-collector head (7) which preferably contains a suction connection (72). The invention is characterised in that the brush body (2) is a rubber plate, pierced by the limbs of elastic, U-shaped metal wire bristles (3) which are fixed on an inclined plane in the direction of pull of the brush. Said bristles form an angle of 5-15 DEG ( alpha ) in relation to the plane which is perpendicular to the plane of the brush body. The limbs which form part of the U-shaped bristles (3) are provided with a plastic coating (4) or similar, at least on the free, protruding ends.
