Extensible squeezee with reversible blade
11439282 · 2022-09-13 ·

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.

SQUEEGEE WITH SELECTABLE ROTATION MODE
20220218173 · 2022-07-14 · ·

A cleaning device includes a handle, having a longitudinal axis, and a cleaning body, having a cleaning plane, arranged to contact and wipe a surface. The cleaning device also includes a first pivotal constraint arranged to allow a relative rotation between the handle and the cleaning body about a first rotation axis orthogonal to the cleaning plane and a second pivotal constraint arranged to allow a relative rotation between the handle and the cleaning body about a second rotation axis parallel to the cleaning plane. The cleaning device also includes a first selection mechanism arranged to make the first pivotal constraint to pass between a free rotation mode. The handle and the cleaning body can rotate freely to each other with respect to the first rotation axis, a locked rotation mode but cannot rotate to each other with respect to the first rotation axis and a constrained rotation mode.

Method and apparatus to clean wind turbine blades

A robot for cleaning and inspecting wind turbine blades. The robot has a module that adheres to the blade using a vacuum force. The robot also has a cleaning compartment is divided into two sections that are connected by a flexible section. The cleaning compartment is flexible such that it adapts to convex and concave curvatures on the blade.

Melamine Foam Sponge Cleaning Devices

A cleaning device for removing marks from a surface includes a body of melamine foam sponge having a front side and a rear side opposed to the front side, and a holding layer secured to the rear side of the body of melamine foam sponge to prevent relative movement therebetween. The holding layer is preferably a cloth and more preferably natural or synthetic chamois which can be used to wipe and/or buff the surface after rubbing the body of melamine foam sponge on the surface to remove at least one surface mark. The body of melamine foam sponge can be pre-moistened with a liquid such as a disinfecting solution.

Edge-a-Squeege
20220088642 · 2022-03-24 ·

An innovative improvement of the hand-held squeegee. A curved squeegee, allowing cleaning in the crevasses of acute, obtuse, or right angles as well as flat surfaces. Uses could include household deep cleaning, animal troughs, cylinders, buckets, boats, industrial vats with solvents, glass tanks and more. Created by an avid equestrian who was sick of scrubbing the disgusting algae out of her horse's water trough. This tool is no-touch way to clean edges of surfaces. Allows the user to utilize the tool in situations where edge and crevasse cleaning or scraping is desired especially if toxic, chemical, bacteria laden, moldy, or dirty material is present.

GLASS CLEANING DEVICE
20220071457 · 2022-03-10 ·

A glass cleaning device including a handle and an attachment adaptor provided to the handle. The attachment adaptor may be affixed to the handle or may be configured to be sold separately and may also be configured to be removable from the handle. The attachment adaptor is configured to attach to a replaceable windshield wiper blade of the type conventionally available for vehicles. In some cases, the glass cleaning device may include a windshield wiper blade together with the handle and/or the attachment adaptor. In some cases, the handle is extendible. The ability to use commercially available windshield wiper blades allows a large selection of easily available replacements or options for the cleaning head of the glass cleaning device.
