Abstract
A tool for wiping windows by means of a ceramic rectangular permanent magnet, or magnets, which has wiper blades attached. This unit is called the slave unit. On the opposite side of the window surface is a ceramic rectangular permanent magnet or magnets, which is called the master unit. When the two units are placed opposite each other across the window surface the magnetic attraction pulls the slave unit wiper blades against the window surface. When the master unit is moved across the window surface, the slave unit follows in unison on the other side and the wiper blades flip-flop wiping the window clear.
Claims1
A magnetic window cleaning apparatus comprising a master unit and a slave unit, said units adapted to be disposed on opposite sides of a window pane in magnetically coupled relationship for cleaning both sides of said window pane as said apparatus is moved thereover;
- said master unit comprises a first elongated body which includes an elongated cavity therein, said cavity defines a lower planar surface which has attached thereto a metal plate, a first magnet having an upper and lower surface is provided in said cavity with said upper surface coupled with said metal plate, one layer of a hook and loop fastening material is attached to the lower surface of the first magnet and adapted to engage a first side of said window pane;
- said slave unit comprises a second elongated body which includes an elongated cavity therein and a pair of elongated T-shaped channels laterally spaced on opposite sides of the cavity, said cavity defines a lower planar surface which has attached thereto a metal plate, a second magnet having an upper and lower surface is provided in said cavity with said upper surface coupled with said metal plate, the other layer of the hook and loop fastening material is attached to the lower surface of the second magnet and adapted to engage a second side of said window pane, each channel has mounted therein a wiper blade, each wiper blade has a T-shaped head portion which is received in the T-shaped channel, said wiper blades are held in said channels, respectively, by insert means which engage in said channels, and said wiper blades are adapted to engage and wipe said second side of said window pane as the apparatus is move thereover.
