The present invention relates to a cleaning device and in particular, to such a cleaning device that is adapted to having a controllable and expandable cleaning surface head. The expandable cleaning surface head is associated with a handle where movement in the vertical direction of the handle is adapted to horizontal movement that controls the size of cleaning surface head.

The expandable cleaning surface head is associated with a handle where movement in the vertical direction of the handle is adapted to horizontal movement that controls the size of cleaning surface head.

Provided is a tool that includes a handle assembly including a top portion and a bottom portion. The tool also includes a lock plate disposed between the top and bottom portions and having a deflectable arm having a free end biased towards the top portion, a fixed end opposite the free end, an inner edge, an outer edge, and a detent near the free end and the inner edge. The tool additionally includes a blade having first and second ends, an indent in a bottom surface of the blade near the first end for engaging the detent in a closed position, and a ramp on the bottom surface near the indent defining a reduced thickness portion of the blade that reduces in thickness from the indent towards an edge of the blade to reduce contact between the detent and the blade during rotation of the blade.

A floating liquid material distribution device having a plurality of apertures arranged in a grid pattern is disclosed. The device floats on top of liquid material within a container. When a person applies force to the device with an applicator, the device allows liquid material to be evenly distributed through the apertures to the application surface of the device and onto the applicator. As the liquid material is used up, the device follows the top of the surface of the liquid, and thus follows the liquid material to the bottom of the container, always a distance off the paint. Also disclosed is an actuation device that works in combination with a container lid. When the actuation device is actuated, a liquid material distribution device drops down onto liquid contained within the container.

A drop cloth retention system includes a drop cloth that may be positioned on a support surface. Thus, the support surface is protected from being contaminated. A clamping unit is provided and the clamping unit may be positioned on the support surface. The clamping engages the drop cloth such that the drop cloth is inhibited from moving on the support surface.

A table shelf is provided which can be firmly attached in harmony with the shape and diameter of the legs of various tripods. A table shelf 3 attached to the tripod 80. Shelves 3, plate-shaped board part 30 and the board part 30 the beam part is attached to the side edge vicinity of 31 and the beam part 31 a pair of right and left attached to the engaging arm parts 32, 32 a, tripod 80 It is provided with engaging arm parts 32, 32 extending from the outside to the inside so as to hold the two legs 81, 81. The engaging arm part 32 is adapted to extend diagonally with respect to the beam part 31 so that the gap 34 formed between the engaging arm part 32 and the beam part 31 is narrowed on the outside and widened on the inside.
