Abstract:
A hand-held apparatus for cleaning by spraying cleaning liquid and by suction of the used liquid has a spray pump (20) for cleaning liquid associated with a brush (23) for spreading of the liquid on the surface to be cleaned. A flexible rubber wiper (14) has a suction opening for the used liquid. A used liquid reservoir (1) communicates with the suction orifice of the wiper (14) by a channel (13). A partitioning device (5) maintains under vacuum the used liquid reservoir (1). A control trigger (21) is provided for the spraying of the cleaning liquid and for the sucking up of the used liquid. A handle (3) functions as a grip and a manipulator.
Abstract:
A headlight cleaner for a vehicle including a brush head; a brush handle having a tip end coupled to the brush head, a base end, and a bend therebetween to thereby define a straight short segment and a straight long segment; a straight squeegee handle having a tip end and a base end coupled to the base end of the brush handle; and an elongated squeegee coupled to the tip end of the squeegee handle.
Abstract:
A two-piece tool inter-connected by a flexible soap water tube (12) which will perform a quick and clean car wash, void of soap film or streaks. The user simply rinses off the loose dirt and cools down the hot metal surface of a section of the car with one piece of the tool held in one hand (FIG. 18), and then washes with the other piece of the tool held in the other hand. The user again rinses with the other tool in the opposite hand to remove the soap before it dries leaving a soap film or streaks. This process is repeated until the last section of the car is completed. The user can expect about five car washes from one ounce of liquid soap before refilling and will find easy control of the rinse water flow rate and pattern whereby conserving soap and water.
Abstract:
A flexible bottle which serves as a fluid cleaning reservoir includes a cap that has a crosshead supporting a cleaning fluid absorbing material. A flow passageway is provided in the cap and feeds cleaning fluid to the absorbing material when the bottle is squeezed and the cap is distorted to open the flow passageway. The absorbent material has a longitudinal slit in its end surface through which a windshield wiper blade can be moved for cleaning the blade. A cover is mounted on the crosshead when the tool is stored. The device can also be used to clean the windshield.
Abstract:
This is a bottle for containing a window-washing solution and having a sponge and a squeegee blade mounted vertially thereon along the side of the bottle. The sponge communicates with the interior of the bottle through an anti-leak valve contained in a button protrusion in the sidewall of the bottle overwhich a plastic member carrying the sponge and squeegee blade is snapped. A protective cover also snaps onto the bottle and covers the sponge and squeegee blade to protect them from deformation and damage during storage. The bottle with sponge, squeegee blade and protective cover in place provides a small profile for storage in the glove compartment of an automobile or the like.
Abstract:
An attachment for a squeegee includes a resilient mounting member to which a liquid applicator is connected. The liquid applicator preferably comprises a water retentive pad or the like, and the mounting member is preferably formed of a resilient material, such as plastic, which is adapted for connection to the squeegee. The resilient mounting of the pad to the squeegee urges the liquid applicator against the surface being cleaned, and the pad is maintained in a position adjacent the squeegee blade when the blade is placed on the surface.
Abstract:
A wheeled trolley (11,12) supports a removable back-pack unit (35,36) containing a motor drive (37,39) and a fluid pump (38). The motor (37) drives the pump (38) to draw fluid from a canister (32) and supply the fluid via flexible hoses (62,63, 64, 65) to a rotary brush unit (57,58,59). The motor rotates the brush via a flexible drive line (61) running from an output (39) on the back-pack to an input (56) on the brush handle (57). The trolley body (11) and back-pack casing (35) co-operate to retain the back-pack on the trolley in a readily removable manner. The canister (32) is likewise readily removable. The fluid supply and the motor electrical supply both run independently of the trolley. The back-pack can therefore be used as such, at locations remote from the trolley, or can remain on the trolley to function as a power pack for the apparatus. The brush (59) may be a cylindrical brush and two different formats (66,83) are disclosed.
Abstract:
A vehicle implement comprising a head carried by a handle, a first seat provided along a longitudinal edge of said head and arranged to receive a rubber strip for drying windows, a second seat provided along the opposing longitudinal edge of said head and arranged to receive, as required a brush for snow removal or a sponge for washing windows and/or other vehicle surfaces, and an ice scraper housed extractably in said head, said first and second seat for receiving said rubber strip and said brush or sponge comprising screws for locking the elments contained in said seats.
Abstract:
A cleaning device for use in cleaning a floor, windshield, window, or signboard which comprises a sponge scrubber, a rubber blade, a spray nozzle and a corrugated hand pump whereby the cleaning device can be utilized to scrub, wipe and spray simultaneously when the cleaning device is utilized by the user.
Abstract:
A toothbrush assembly combining a toothbrush handle, a brush assembly releasably engageable with a head end of the handle, and an oral hygiene device releasably engageable with the tail end of the handle. The head end of the handle has a recess formed therein designed to provide a snap fit with a base of the brush assembly. The tail end of the handle is shaped to provide releasable engagement with a base of the oral hygiene device. The oral hygiene device can take numerous forms. For instance, the oral hygiene device can be used to apply an oral hygiene agent, such as a disclosing agent or a gum treating agent, or a herbal combination usable in oral hygiene, or a refreshing agent. Alternatively, the oral hygiene device can take the form of a stimulator.
