1. A ceiling fan brush for vacuum cleaning of thin, elongated, planar ceiling fan blades having laterally opposed, longitudinally extending opposite side edges, said ceiling fan brush comprising:

  • an elongated body, a plenum chamber within said body and opening to one face of said body, a pair of side brushes mounted on said one face and projecting outwardly thereof, spaced laterally from each other and extending over the major length of said body, a pair of longitudinally opposed end brushes, spanning transversely across the body on said one face and projecting outwardly of said one face in the same direction as said side brushes and forming with said side brushes a vacuum chamber with the tips of said side brushes in contact along each face of said thin elongated planar ceiling fan blade, the end brushes having bristles of a length in excess of the length of the bristles forming said side brushes and being spaced from each other a distance generally equal to the lateral width of the ceiling fan blades to thereby engage respective opposite side edges of said elongated planar ceiling fan blades, and means carried by said body and opening to said plenum chamber for coupling said plenum chamber to a source of vacuum pressure such that said ceiling fan brush, when moved longitudinally over the surface of the fan blade, dislodges accumulating dust from the surface of the fan blade and said dust is sucked into the plenum chamber under vacuum pressure for effectively removing the dust from the ceiling fan blades.
