Record cleaner

摘要

A phonograph record cleaner having a pair of soft pile covered projections extending downwardly from a cleaner body with a still brush and a soft brush also extending downwardly between the projections. During cleaning of a record, the cleaner is oriented so that the stiffer brush precedes the softer brush, and the pile covered projections properly locate the ends of the brush bristles relative to the record surface. The stiffer bristles are longer than the softer bristles, while the softer bristles of the shorter length are more densely packed than the stiffer bristles. Indicia on the cleaner body allows the cleaner to be hand held and properly oriented during use. Both of the brushes project downwardly through openings in a hollow lower member of the cleaner body and have retainers that limit the downward movement through the openings. An upper member of the cleaner body is snap connected to the lower member as is a retaining member which engages the brushes to limit their upward movement within the openings so as to properly position the brushes. During periods of nonuse, a receptacle mounts the cleaner body with the projections and brushes received within an upwardly opening depression of the receptacle. A cleaning fluid body and an applicator brush are mounted on an end of the receptacle and utilized to apply cleaning fluid to the pile covered projections in order to help in removing static electricity from the record during the cleaning.
