brushes of the "Scrusher". "Greelymans Jet Stream Sole Cleaner" is
to he used outdoors where a standard garden hose is attached to the
hose fitting on "Greelymans Jet Stream Sole Cleaner" assembly. By
turning water hose on mud & other debris can easily be cleaned
from the soles & sides of boots & shoes, it also keeps the
brushes of the "Scrusher" free of mud & dirt, which is not

Claims
1. I claim my invention of "Greelymans Jet Stream Sole Cleaner",
has a water jet block or tube with four water jets of size, angle
& position that clean the mud out of the soles of boots, keeps
the brushes of the "Scrusher" or other brands of boot brushes, free
of mud with normal residential or well water pressure, improving
the performance of the "Scrusher" or other brands of boot brushes
making it useful on cleaning muddy boots, that is not attainable
with the "Scrusher" or other brands of boot brushes alone,
Description
BACKGROUND FIELD OF INVENTION
[0001] Cleaning of Muddy Boots.
[0002] I have many times looked at the "Scrusher" & other boot
brushes but never bought one because they plug up with mud when you
try to clean mud off of boots. One day after working outside in the
mud, I had an idea of making a tube with water jets in it to mount
under the "Scrusher", with the idea that with the proper angle and
jet size, the water would wash the mud out of the sole of the boot
as well as keep the brushes of the "Scrusher" clean. I went and
bought a "Scrusher" and experimented with different tubes to find
the optimum angle, jet size and number of jets needed to make this
idea work. After several months of experimentation I found the
right combination to make it work the way I had envisioned. The
result is what I call the "Greelymans Jet Stream Sole Cleaner". It
is designed to work in conjunction with the "Scrusher" boot brush
model SB-M1, made by Chaseburg Mfg. & modified with rubber
splash guards, by Greely Mfg. The "Greelymans Jet Stream Sole
Cleaner", is to be mounted under the "Scrusher" on a grating,
patio, walkway or on a wood deck, providing cleaning of the soles
of boots & shoes, it also keeps the brushes of the "Scrusher"
free of mud & dirt. However, it is not limited to being used
under the Scrusher. The "Greelymans Jet Stream Sole Cleaner" may be
used under any brush configuration that will fit over it.
[0003] The manufacturing of the "Greelymans let Stream Sole
Cleaner" jet block is done by machining a piece of aluminum billet,
to the specifications of drawings or 3D CAD file of the "Greelymans
let Stream Sole Cleaner" jet block. "Greelymans Jet Stream Sole
Cleaner" can also be made from injection molded plastic into a tube
style configuration, using the same sizes, angles, heights &
location of the jet orifices as seen in drawing #4.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF INVENTION
[0004] "Greelymans Jet Stream Sole Cleaner" assembly, is designed
to improve the usefulness & work in conjunction with the
"Scrusher" boot cleaner made by Chaseburg Mfg. The "Greelymans let
Stream Sole Cleaner" assembly, is to be mounted under the
"Scrusher" to a grating, deck, porch or other hard surface,
outdoors where a standard garden hose is attached to the hose
fitting on "Greelymans Jet Stream Sole Cleaner" assembly. By
turning water hose on, mud & other debris can easily be cleaned
from Boots before entering any type of building or vehicle The
design of the "Greelymans Jet Stream Sole Cleaner" jet block
provides cleaning of the soles of boots & shoes it also keeps
the brushes of the "Scrusher" free of mud & dirt, which is a
great improvement to the "Scrusher".
