A debris capturing device includes a glove including an open end, a plurality of finger extensions including finger slots, and a thumb extension including a thumb slot. An adhesive pad is coupled to the glove. A removable pad cover is disposed on the adhesive pad. The removable pad cover is configured to expose an adhesive surface of the adhesive pad when removed. The adhesive surface faces away from the glove. The adhesive pad is dimensioned, shaped and positioned with respect to the glove to fold a distal end of the adhesive pad to contact a proximal end of the adhesive pad. The glove is dimensioned, shaped and positioned with respect to the adhesive pad to be inverted upon removal of the glove from a user's hand.

This invention provides a sticky cleaner used for removing organic dirt deposited on an article surface. The sticky cleaner comprises a dirt-collecting member that collects the organic dirt upon contact with the article surface. The dirt-collecting member has an acrylic PSA in an area that comes in contact with the article surface. The dirt-collecting member exhibits a hardness of 90 or less in the area that comes in contact with the article surface.

A lint remover cover is provided. The cover is a substantially flat and bendable sheet having a first end, a second end, an upper surface, a lower surface, and an edge about the perimeter. A strap is attached to the upper surface and protrudes past the edge on the first end. A connector is attached to the upper surface near the second end and releasably attaches to the strap. The cover is wrapped around a lint roller covering the adhesive tape. The strap connects to the connector to further secure the cover to the lint roller.

An adhesive roller assembly is provided having a non-cylindrical roller. The non-cylindrical roller is rotatably affixed to a handle's distal end. In addition, adhesive tape is helically wrapped about the roller, and the adhesive tape includes perforations so as to facilitate the breaking of the adhesive tape into individual segments. Because the roller has a non-cylindrical circumferential surface, the adhesive tape is deformed to have a non-cylindrical exterior. The roller, and consequentially exterior of the adhesive tape, can take various forms. In preferred embodiments, the roller and tape exterior have a concave, convex, undulating, dimpled or bumpy surface. The adhesive tape is made of material providing increased elongation.

A disposable cleaning wipe that can used by hand or by attachment to a sweeper is provided wherein the cleaning wipe has tacky pick-up material concentrated at its working surfaces as opposed to within its intermediate region.

A personal grooming device designed to loosen and remove dirt and other debris from the surface of a material, such as a shirt or jacket. The grooming device comprises a handle, an inner cage fixedly attached to the handle and sized to receive a travel-size lint roller, an outer cage sized to fit over the travel-size lint roller, and an outer sleeve made from moleskin sized to fit around the outer cage. The outer sleeve may be constructed from an piece of adhesive-backed material wrapped around the outer cage or a single piece of cylindrical material sized to snuggly fit around the external cage. The outer sleeve may be made from other materials. In use, the sleeve loosens debris from a surface after which the external cage with sleeve is removed to expose the lint roller. The lint roller then picks up the loosed dirt and debris.

A dustpan is disclosed. The dustpan include a debris receptacle coupled to the grip, having a debris collection surface and a bottom surface, and a roller mechanism, wherein the roller mechanism includes a roller with an adhesive surface, a biasing member, and a handle to apply a force coupled to the grip, wherein application of force to the handle moves the roller from i) a non-contact position, above the bottom surface of the debris receptacle, to ii) a contact position, configured to be one of below the bottom surface of the debris receptacle or ground level, and wherein once the force is released the biasing member returns the roller to the non-contact position.

An article of manufacture for providing a lint roller assembly is disclosed. The lint roller assembly includes a handle having an opening to couple to a shaft component, a roller barrel having a shaft opening running lengthwise through the center of the roller barrel and a pair of bearing cavities at each end, the shaft component having a threaded end and an opposite end having a threaded retaining hole, and a pair of bearing components having an outer edge and an inner edge. The roller barrel being configured to retain a roll of adhesive material about the outer surface. The outer edge being coupled to the bearing cavities and the inner edge engaging the shaft component to permit the roller barrel to rotate about the shaft component.

A lint removing device (10), the device (10) comprising: a housing (12), a roller (14) for holding a lint-removing material (141), wherein the roller (14) and lint-removing material (141) are dimensioned and configured to be housed by the housing (12), wherein the roller (14) and housing (12) are arranged such that the roller (14) is deployable from the housing (12); and an actuator (16) coupled with or formed by either the roller (14) or the housing (12), the actuator (16) being manipulable by a user to deploy the roller (14).
