Abstract
A squeegee implement for attachment to a conventional squeegee including a squeegee handle and a wiping blade. The implement includes an absorbing component for absorbing a portion of the liquid having been wiped from a surface by the wiping blade. The implement also includes an attachment structure for attaching the absorbing component to the squeegee adjacent the wiping blade so as to allow the absorbing component to absorb liquid emanating from the wiping blade. The squeegee implement further includes a guiding structure in fluid communication with both the wiping blade and the absorbing component for guiding the liquid from the wiping blade to the absorbing component. Guiding and absorbing components prevent liquid wiped with the blade from falling back on the wiped surface.
Claims26
An implement for attachment to a squeegee, said squeegee including a squeegee handle and a wiping blade attached to said handle, said squeegee allowing a liquid to be wiped-off a surface, said squeegee implement comprising:
