Abstract

A brush head includes a frame and an assembly of brush sections connected thereto. The assembly of brush sections includes first and second wing brushes and a central brush therebetween. The first wing brush is pivotally interconnected to the frame at a first hinge, and the second wing brush is pivotally interconnected to the frame at a second hinge. The wing brushes move from a first, rest orientation, angled with one another when at rest or lightly loaded; to a second, load orientation, parallel and colinear with one another when loaded.
