Abstract
A device is disclosed for manually cleaning surfaces. The device has an angled tubular body having at one end an elastically deformable member with a central opening for holding a paper sheet. The paper sheet is affixed to the elastically deformable member by placing a sheet of paper over a stud on an associated paper support element and pressing a portion of the paper onto the central opening on the elastically deformable member. When it is necessary to change the sheet on the elastically deformable member, a flexible rod that is located coaxially within the tubular body, is used to eject the sheet by pressing on one end to cause the other end to pass through the elastically deformable member and contact the paper sheet.
Claims11
An assembly for cleaning a surface, said assembly comprising:
- a cleaning device comprising an elongated tubular body (1) with an axial bore, having on one end a bent elbow portion (2) and on the opposite end (3) a portion (4) which is movable relative to said tubular body;
- an elongated flexible organ (5) housed within the interior of said tubular body which is axially movable within said tubular body (1), said flexible organ having at one end an enlarged portion (6) and having its opposite end connected to said movable portion (4);
- said bent elbow portion (2) having an elastically deformable support flange (7) mounted thereon by means of a sleeve (3) which is integral with said elastically deformable support flange (7), said elastically deformable support flange having a central opening (8) which is aligned with a hollow interior portion (9) of said sleeve (3);
- and a support (10) adapted to cooperate with the cleaning device having a flat surface on which is mounted a stud (12) having a rounded end and which extends outwardly from said flat surface and has a diameter which is less than the diameter of said central opening (8) and said hollow interior portion (9) in said elastically deformable support flange (7), said flat surface and said stud operatively associated with said cleaning device to aid in mounting a sheet of cleaning material to said cleaning device.
