Abstract
A combined portable, cleaning fluid spray apparatus and paper towel support and dispensing apparatus is provided which combines the functions of a liquid window cleaner spray dispenser and a paper towel roll holder into one product. A long, tube-type arrangement fits inside a roll of paper towels, and the lower portion of the tube comprises a base which holds used and discarded paper towels in a lower compartment. A standard pump sprayer at the top connects to the tube with a threaded connection. An upper plate-type washer along with a tension rod provides a method of restraining the paper towels when not being used, as well as an easy means to tear off the paper towels during use.
Claims8
A combined portable cleaning fluid spray apparatus and paper towel support and dispensing apparatus comprising:
- a manually actuable spray apparatus in fluid communication with a cleaning fluid reservoir cylinder;
- said cleaning fluid reservoir cylinder of a linearly elongated, hollow tubular configuration forming a reservoir cylinder designed and configured for both storing a supply of cleaning fluid and for supporting a roll of paper towels in an upright manner, said cleaning fluid reservoir cylinder capable of being insertable within a hollow center of a roll of paper towels in such a manner wherein the hollow center slidably receives the reservoir cylinder and further acts as an axis about which a roll of paper towels rotates;
- and
- a base terminating a lower portion of said cleaning fluid reservoir cylinder, wherein said reservoir cylinder is further defined as having a circular skirt structure molded integral therewith which extends radially from a sidewall of a lower portion thereof, thereby forming said base, wherein an upper, outer perimeter of said skirt structure is defined as having a cylindrical housing receiving edge formed peripherally therearound as an angular recess between an upper surface of said skirt structure and a circular apron thereof;
- and
- a lower, inner perimeter of said skirt structure is defined as having a base receiving edge formed peripherally therearound as an angular recess between a lower surface of said skirt structure and a lower inner sidewall of the circular apron thereof.
