Abstract:
An extendable pole for window washing includes a plurality of substantially hollow elongated rigid tubular sections, each of which has a lower end and an upper end and a substantially cylindrical outer side wall. The upper end of one section is mechanically connected to the lower end of a section there above to form a substantially continuous pole. Apertures are formed in the side wall of each of the tubular sections adjacent the lower ends and adjacent the upper ends. An elongated flexible tube which is slightly longer than its associated tubular section extends through the interior of the tubular section with its ends passing through the lower and upper apertures to the exterior thereof. Fluid connectors at the ends of each of the tubes connect them together so that the tubes are in fluid communications with each other.
Abstract:
A self-contained device that allows persons to easily clean the windows of their vehicles is disclosed. The device features a housing to which a cleaning wand is retractably tethered. The cleaning wand operates in a manner similar to a squeegee, but is fed cleaning fluid through the hose connected to the wand from a reservoir within the housing. Fluid is dispensed adjacent to a wiping blade on the cleaning wand, thereby allowing a person to easily wash a vehicle window without the mess normally associated with the use of a squeegee. The device may be coin-operated, thereby distributing fluid only when a coin is inserted by the person and for a set period of time.
Abstract:
The window washing tool is a tool for washing windows located high above ground without requiring the use of ladders or scaffolding. The window washing tool has an extension handle which serves as both a reach extension device allowing reaching high windows from the ground, and for supplying water and cleaning solution to a washing head. The washing head holds the implements used to clean the window. The extension handle has a plurality of sections, which are connected together to provide the required length. The extension handle is hollow and conducts water supplied at pressure to the lower end of the extension handle to the washing head at the top of the extension handle. A lower section of the extension handle includes a shutoff valve for controlling the flow of water to the washing head, and a reservoir for introducing cleaning solution into the flow of water.
Abstract:
A cleaning device (100) for smooth surfaces, especially for cleaning windows. The inventive cleaning device comprises a handle (1) and a contact element (10) that is mounted on one end of said handle (1) and that extends in a substantially transversal direction to the handle (1). The contact element is provided with a cleaning surface element (4) on at least the one front face thereof that contacts the surface to be cleaned. The cleaning surface element can be wetted with a cleaning liquid in a controlled manner. A zone (5) is provided behind the cleaning surface element for the distribution and temporary storage of the cleaning liquid. The handle (1) is linked with a blade element (8) that is part of the contact element. The front face of said blade element is detachably linked with a direct removing element (7) that carries the cleaning surface element (4).
Abstract:
A squeegee with squeegee handle and remote spraying device, includes a squeegee section having an enclosed container for holding liquid, a sprayer head, which is in connection with the squeegee section, and a surface extending in a lengthwise direction. The enclosed container has a threaded neck. The sprayer head has a threaded cap adapted for engaging the threaded neck, as well as a dispensing means for dispensing the liquid. The dispensing means includes a trigger being in connection with a conduit, a nozzle at an end of the sprayer head, and pressure inducing means for inducing a pressure change in the conduit so as to draw spraying agent into the conduit and out of the nozzle. The conduit extends through the threaded cap and into the enclosed container. There is also a squeegee blade attached to the sprayer head and being nearly perpendicular to the surface of said enclosed container. In preferred embodiments, an extended handle further includes a plurality of sections in which each section extends to allow for longer reaching range.

Abstract:
A device for wiping and cleaning dirty surfaces, with a carrier body (1) for a wiping element (3), where the carrier body (1) is structured as a latent heat storage unit.
Abstract:
The present invention is a spray squeegee having automatic recipient surface wetting mechanism with extension and remote triggering system, which includes a squeegee section having an enclosed container for holding liquid, a sprayer head, which is in connection with the squeegee section, and a surface extending in a lengthwise direction. The enclosed container has a threaded neck. The sprayer head has a threaded cap adapted for engaging the threaded neck, as well as a dispensing means for dispensing the liquid. There is a squeegee blade and at least one wiping mechanism. One wiping means includes a wiping support that has a plurality of nozzles for wetting the wiping mechanism and is located on a side opposite the blade. Another wiping means, which may be on the blade side or the first wiping mechanism side, is tiltable and includes a clamp for holding a wiping material.
Abstract:
A fluid chargeable implement comprises a hollow, elongate body, the body having one or more apertures located in a wall or walls thereof to enable in-flow and out-flow of fluid to and from an inside of said body. An applicator material (not shown) is supported by the body. A handle (not shown) and a mechanism for controlling the flow rate of the out-flow are attached to the body.
Abstract:
The apparatus has an elongate, rigid, tubular body with a universal-type swivel coupling to a water hose at its proximal end, and a transverse head bar disposed at the distal end, the head bar having a scrubbing sponge and wiping blade projecting therefrom in opposite directions. A flexible, distally-projecting, selectively-directable, fluid-emitting nozzle is in fluid communication with the water hose and can be used for wetting a dirty window or for filling a radiator. The distal, fluid-emitting nozzle is constructed of multiple segments which can be swiveled and set in a stable position with respect to one another; a flexible, resilient sheath covers the segments. The scrubbing sponge is covered with a layer of slightly abrasive, foraminous material, and is impregnated with a concentrated, water-soluble, cleaning-enhancing compound.
