Field of invention. The present invention relates generally as a trimming tool for removing leaves and matter from dried plants and more specifically relates to the manual removal of dried leaves from cannabis flowers or buds.
Various tools have been provided in prior art that are used as tools to trim dried cannabis by removing the leaves and preserving the flower. These tools include both mechanical and manual methods of trimming. Their functionality is dependent upon their design and material used, allowing the user to choose the method or apparatus that best works for their desired outcome. Mechanical methods of trimming include machines with blades that are designed for cutting and trimming, powered by a motor to rotate the blades and a mechanism to tumble the cannabis flower over the blade surface. These methods have decreased the amount of time spent trimming, but have failed to consistently produce quality and damage-free flowers or buds after the process is complete. Additionally, mechanical methods of trimming have an electrical component that increases the risk of personal injury or harm, compared to its manual equivalent. Currently, manual trimming methods are limited to what is currently on the market including gardening scissors or the like, or using the manual method of plucking with one's fingers to remove the dried leaves from the cannabis flower. Mechanical methods are harder to clean, manual methods typically require soap and water to remove residue from fingers or scissors. While the mentioned prior art may be used to act as a reliable method of trimming dried cannabis leaves, they may not be suitable for the purposes of the present invention as presently described.
A primary objective of the present invention is to provide an ergonomic design that allows for long periods of comfortable use and safety. The three indentations on the brush handle allow the user to use a proper grip in order to comfortably hold the tool in multiple positions while preforming the trimming process. This design is compatible with right or left-handed use.
Another primary objective of the present invention is to provide an interchangeable, screw-on tip for two brush heads that comprise of (1) a set of straight silicone bristles or (2) a set of angled silicone bristles. The silicone material is soft and does not stick, minimizing damage to the flower. The flat and angled bristle options increase surface area coverage to remove the maximum amount of dried matter.
An additional primary objective is that the components and materials of this trimming tool are dishwasher safe and can be easily cleaned and sanitized as necessary.
A further primary objective is that the present invention is a safe alternative to existing methods and does not require an abundance of skill or precision to operate.
Further objectives of the invention will appear as the description advances. To the accomplishment of the above and related objectives, the present invention may be represented in illustrated form through the accompanying drawings, attention being called to the fact, however, that the drawings are illustrative only.

Each set of bristles has its own functionality and purpose for trimming the cannabis flower. The straight bristles offer more coverage while brushing the dried leaves, while the angled bristles allow for increased precision and are able to access the harder to reach areas of the flower. The size and weight of the present invention is convenient for prolonged use and reduces the time spent on the trimming process compared to existing manual methods. The present invention is a faster, more reliable, and safer method for trimming dried leaves from cannabis flower.
