Systems and methods for recommending repair facilities to a user based on repair validation/coaching data are disclosed. In one implementation, a repair facility recommendation system receives repair information from a user regarding damage to an automobile, the repair information received via a graphical user interface rendered on a webpage. The repair facility recommendation system identifies a repair facility verified to repair the damage to the automobile based on the repair information and verification information from a verification module, the verification information comprising evaluation information based on evaluation of technicians performing repairs of automobiles at repair facilities. The repair facility recommendation system then provides information regarding the identified repair facility to the user via the graphical user interface.

The hand-held cleaning device, especially the hand-held cleaner for smooth surfaces, comprising a supporting unit, a wiper blade, a guiding device and a capture unit, wherein the wiper blade is fixed to the supporting unit, wherein the wiper blade at least in certain areas has a guiding element, which is designed for guiding fluid present at wiper blade in the direction of the guiding device, and wherein the guiding device is arranged adjacent to the wiper blade and is directly adjoining to the capture unit in order to transport the fluid from the wiper blade across the guiding element and the guiding device to the capture unit.

An adjustable hand-held squeegee device with reverse angle head adjustment. An elongated handle can include either a single elongated member or any plurality of members configured in telescoping fashion. A head includes a rotatable base portion supported at a forward end of the handle. A spring biased locking mechanism is integrated into the handle in proximity to the rotatable base and includes a forward projection engaging a first recess of the rotatable base in a first position. Upon retracting the mechanism via a projecting trigger portion, the rotatable base is rotated to align a second circumferentially offset recess so that, and upon releasing the trigger, the squeegee head is oriented in a reverse angular fashion relative to the handle.

A window wiper is provided. A wiper blade assembly includes a wiper blade and a mounting part. The wiper blade includes a first layer and a second layer which are arranged in a layered manner. The first layer is a scrubbing layer made of a rubber material, silica gel material, soft PVC material or EVA material, and the second layer is a guide layer made of a water-absorbing material. A rear end of the wiper blade is connected with the mounting part, and its front end is a free end. The window wiper includes the wiper blade assembly, a wiper blade mounting frame and a handle, wherein the wiper blade mounting frame is provided with a water receiving port. When the wiper blade assembly is mounted on the handle through the wiper blade mounting frame, the guide layer is located above the water receiving port.

An ice scraper for removing ice from a surface includes a longitudinal handle with a longitudinal axis, and a blade with a first scraping edge extending transversely relative to the handle. A blade holder extends between the handle and the blade, with the blade holder extending in an angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the handle. The blade is connected to the blade holder with a joint coupling for allowing movement of the blade relative to the blade holder.

This invention enables attachment of a washer to a squeegee head in a state in which the handle head and a back plate are joined to each other. A squeegee includes a handle, a back plate and a channel. The handle includes a handle head and a grip. A channel is clamped between the handle head and the back plate. A part of the squeegee on a front end side relative to the grip, the part excluding the channel, is referred to as a squeegee head. The squeegee includes a washer attachment portion which enables attachment of a washer to the squeegee head in a state in which the back plate is attached to the handle head. The washer attachment portion is disposed in an area of the squeegee head, the area being off an area in which the handle head and the back plate overlap each other.
