Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2769660A1] The brush (1) has a cleaning head (20) mounted at a lower end of a handle (10) through an articulation (21). The articulation tilts the head around a rotation axis (21b) between a transverse work position and an axial fold position. The head has an unbalance to return the head towards the fold position when the handle is held vertically remote from a surface to be cleaned. The head is equipped with a magnet (25) to cooperate automatically with the handle when the head is brought into the fold position so as to maintain the return position against an action of gravity when the handle is tilted.
