Abstract
A brush assembly for a device with a motor for cleaning soldering tools may include a base portion, a brush drive ring, and a locking assembly. The base portion may include a cylindrical core member and a cleaning brush. The cleaning brush may be disposed around a perimeter of the core member and may extend radially away from the core member. The locking assembly may include a first locking member, a second locking member, and an annular retention member. The first and second locking members may be configured to interface with one another. The annular retention member may define a resting state for the locking assembly, in which the first and second locking members may grip a shaft of the motor. The annular retention member may also define a transient state for the locking assembly, in which the first and second locking members may move out of the resting state.
