GRILL CLEANER INCLUDING WIRE LOOPS
A grill cleaner generally includes a wire brush formed by a plurality of wire loops extending from a brush block. The wire loops may include a solid core wire or a wire cable/cord (e.g., a plurality of wound wire strands). In one embodiment, the wire loops may be formed as individual wire loops having the ends secured in sleeves (e.g., crimped). The grill cleaner also include one or more handles to allow a user to urge the wire loops across a grate of a grill such that movement of the wire loops across the grate dislodges debris (e.g., food particles) adhered to a surface of the grate.
1 . A grill cleaner for removing debris from a grate of a grill, comprising:
a wire brush including a brush block and a plurality of wire loops extending from the brush block; and
at least one handle coupled to the wire brush.
2 . The grill cleaner of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of wire loops are formed as individual wire loops and each individual wire loop of the plurality of wire loops includes a sleeve securing ends of the individual wire loop.
3 . The grill cleaner of claim 2 , wherein the sleeve is a crimp connector.
4 . The grill cleaner of claim 2 , wherein the brush block further comprises a plurality of receptacles configured to receive the sleeves, respectively,
5 . The grill cleaner of claim 1 , wherein at least one subset of wire loops has a different orientation than at least one other subset of wire loops.
6 . The grill cleaner of claim 1 , wherein at least one subset of wire loops has a different height than at least one other subset of wire loops.
7 . The grill cleaner of claim 1 , wherein the at least one handle includes a first handle extending from a side of the wire brush.
8 . The grill cleaner of claim 7 , wherein the at least one handle includes a second handle mounted on a top of the wire brush.
9 . The grill cleaner of claim 8 , further comprising a platform mounted to the brush block, wherein the first handle extends from a side of the platform and the second handle is mounted to a top of the platform.
10 . The grill cleaner of claim 1 , further comprising a scraper coupled to the wire brush.
11 . The grill cleaner of claim 10 , wherein the scraper includes a first cutout and a second cutout, the first and second cutouts being disposed on opposing ends of the scraper.
12 . The grill cleaner of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of wire loops are formed by at least one continuous wire extending through the brush block.
13 . A grill cleaner for removing debris from a grate of a grill, comprising:
a wire brush including a brush block and a plurality of individual wire loops extending from the brush block, wherein each wire loop of the plurality of individual wire loops includes a sleeve securing ends of the wire loop; and
at least one handle coupled to the wire brush.
14 . The grill cleaner of claim 13 , wherein the sleeve is a crimp connector.
15 . The grill cleaner of claim 13 , wherein the brush block further comprises a plurality of receptacles configured to receive the sleeves, respectively.
16 . The grill cleaner of claim 13 , wherein at least one subset of wire loops has a different orientation than at least one other subset of wire loops.
17 . The grill cleaner of claim 13 , wherein the plurality of wire loops include a first row of wire loops arranged at a first angle relative to a longitudinal axis of the wire brush and at least a second row of wire loops arranged at a second angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the wire brush.
18 . The grill cleaner of claim 13 , wherein at least one subset of wire loops has a different height than at least one other subset of wire loops.
19 . The grill cleaner of claim 13 , wherein the scraper includes a first cutout and a second cutout, the first and second cutouts being disposed on opposing ends of the scraper.
20 . A wire brush for a grill cleaner, comprising:
a brush block having a plurality of receptacles, wherein a longitudinal axis of at least one receptacle extends transverse to a longitudinal axis of the brush block; and
a plurality of individual wire loops extending from the brush block, each individual wire loop of the plurality of individual wire loops including a sleeve securing ends of the wire loop, wherein the receptacles in the brush block are configured to receive the sleeves, respectively.
21 . The wire brush of claim 20 , wherein at least one subset of wire loops has a different orientation than at least one other subset of wire loops.
22 . The wire brush of claim 20 , wherein the wire loops are formed of a wire cable.
