Abstract

An automated brush cleaning and drying apparatus includes a housing, a cleaning solution bottle coupled to the housing and a spray nozzle, a fan coupled to the housing, a support frame assembly disposed within the housing, a rotation mechanism assembly coupled to the support frame assembly and having a rotatable claw designed to engage with the brush's end tip, and a height adjustment mechanism assembly operably coupled to the support frame assembly within the housing. The height adjustment mechanism assembly adjusts the height of the support frame assembly to a first position to permit the rotation mechanism assembly to drive the rotatable claw to rotate the brush as the spray nozzle disperses the cleaning solution from the bottle to the brush's bristles. The height adjustment mechanism assembly adjusts the height of the support frame assembly to a second position to align the brush's bristles with the fan.
