Toilet brush and cleaning system
A toilet cleaning system, comprising: (a) a brush adapted to clean an inner surface of a toilet bowl of a toilet; (b) a brush control mechanism adapted to move said brush up and down, to clean said inner surface of said toilet bowl, said brush control mechanism including a dual-element construct, configured to convert between linear motion and rotational motion, wherein said dual element construct includes: (A) a linear element; and (B) a rotational element, wherein said rotational element, is operationally coupled to said brush; and whereby linear movement of said rotational element along said linear element causes said rotational element to rotate, thereby effecting rotational movement of said brush coupled thereto, thereby reversibly increasing said torque of said brush, causing said brush to rotate, contract and move linearly in the direction dictated by said rotational element; (c) a support assembly adapted to operationally couple said brush control mechanism and said brush to said toilet; and (d) a movement actuation arrangement, operationally coupled on a first end to said support assembly and on a second end to said brush control mechanism, wherein said movement actuation arrangement is configured to effect a reversible downward movement of said brush control mechanism towards a floor of said toilet bowl, wherein said brush control mechanism further includes: (i) a slideable element coupled to said dual-element construct; and (ii) a guide shaft, housing said slideable element, wherein said slideable element is configured to move within said guide shaft during said linear movement of said rotational element, said rotational element being operationally coupled to said slideable element.
