Abstract
A convertible surface contacting implement having a head member and a long handle. The head member has a base, and a surface contacting member carried by the base. The head member forms a short-handled implement with the base acting as a short handle. A first connector is provided on the base and a second connector is provided on one end of the long handle. The second connector cooperates with the first connector to detachably connect the long handle to the base to form a long-handled implement. The implement may be a brush or an applicator. Preferably, the base of the head member is hollow to carry a liquid dispersed to the surface contacting member.
Claims24
A convertible surface contacting implement having:
- a head member;
- a long handle, with the long handle having a length at least three times the length of the head member;
- the head member having a base and surface contacting means connected to the base;
- the base hollow to form a container for liquid, the base having a metered opening for dispensing the liquid to the surface contacting means;
- the base forming a short handle;
- first connecting means on the base and second connecting means on one end of the long handle;
- the implement, with the head member connected to the long handle with the first and second connecting means, forming a long handled implement with the long handle held to dispense liquid from the container through the surface contacting means;
- the long handled implement convertible to a short handled implement by separating the head member from the long handle and holding the base of the head member to dispense liquid from the container through the surface contacting means.
A convertible surface contacting implement having:
- a head member;
- a long handle;
- the head member having a base and surface contacting means carried by the base;
- the base hollow to form a container for liquid;
- the base having an inlet for introducing liquid into the container:
- a closure, separate from the long handle, for normally closing the inlet on the base, the closure removable from the inlet to be able to fill the container with liquid;
- the base having a metered opening for dispensing the liquid to the surface contacting means;
- the base forming a short handle;
- first connecting on the base and second connecting means on one end of the long handle;
- the implement, with the head member connected to the long handle with the first and second connecting means, forming a long handled implement with the long handle held to dispense liquid from the container through the surface contacting means;
- the long handled implement convertible to a short handled implement by separating the head member from the long handle and holding the base of the head member to dispense liquid from the container through the surface contacting means.
