Abstract
A device for cleaning the base of a wall generally compromises an extendable handle retaining member that is free to swivel about a predetermined range of motion. This action also allows you to get into those hard-to-reach areas without bending, stooping, or kneeling for prolonged periods. The placement of the handle will allow the device to be steered or guided more easily than other wheelbase arrangements. A base member includes a plurality of wheels on a wheelbase to allow the base member to balance on its wheelbase unaided. This is also used for sturdiness and durability. This device has several cleaning attachments such as a sponge, a scouring pad, a dust mop, and a wringer mop to accommodate baseboards of various dimensions.
Claims10
A baseboard cleaning device comprising:
- a base member including a plurality of wheels spaced apart to define a generally triangular wheelbase, wherein the plurality of wheels attach to the base member in a rotatable relation adapted to allow the base member to roll on a floor,
- wherein at least two of the plurality of wheels define a first plane and at least one of the plurality of wheels define a second plane;
- wherein the first plane and the second plane are offset from each other to enable the plurality of wheels of the base member to engage a same planar surface;
- a cleaning attachment retaining member defined by a portion of the base member and oriented parallel to a leg of the triangular wheelbase,
- wherein the attachment retaining member is adapted to reversibly receive a cleaning attachment;
- and a handle retaining member defined by a portion of the base member and disposed at a vertex of the triangular wheelbase distal from the cleaning attachment retaining member, wherein the handle retaining member is free to swivel about a predetermined range of motion, and wherein the handle retaining member is adapted to receive a handle in a fixed relation.

- a cleaning attachment retaining member defined by a portion of the base member and oriented parallel to a leg of the triangular wheelbase,
- wherein the attachment retaining member is adapted to reversibly receive a cleaning attachment having generally planar cleaning surface that extends away from the wheelbase in a radial direction of the wheels,
- the cleaning surface being adapted to contact a baseboard or a base of a wall for cleaning;
- and
- a handle retaining member defined by a portion of the base member and disposed at a vertex of the triangular wheelbase distal from the cleaning attachment retaining member,
- wherein the handle retaining member is free to swivel about a predetermined range of motion, and wherein the handle retaining member is adapted to receive a handle in a fixed relation.
