Abstract
A hand held dusting apparatus for use with a motor provided with a rotating axle, such as a variable speed drill, includes an elongated extension member attachable at one end to the rotating axle and a dusting member having a body section attachable to the opposite end of the elongated extension member and a dusting section constructed having multiple strands of synthetic fiber materials extending from the body section. In a preferred embodiment the apparatus further includes a tubular hand guide member fitted about the extension member and constructed to slide along the extension member. In another preferred embodiment the body of dusting section has a mid-section that can be pivoted to allow the dusting elements to rotate about an axis set at an angle to the axis of the extension member.
Claims13
A hand held cleaning apparatus, comprising:
- a. an elongated extension member operatively attachable at one end to a motor to cause the elongated extension member to rotate, wherein the elongated extension member comprises:
- i. an exterior surface of generally uniform diameter;
- ii. at least two segments attachable to one another;
- each segment having a first end constructed having a male connector and an opposite end constructed having a female connector shaped to receive the male connector;
- b. a hand guide member constructed to fit about and to slide along the elongated extension member, wherein the hand guide member is constructed having a passageway extending through the hand guide member, wherein the passageway has a diameter of about 0.015625 to 0.125 inches greater than the generally uniform diameter of the elongated extension member to permit the hand guide member to slide along the exterior surface of the extension member without binding;
- and
- c. a dusting member operatively attachable to an opposite end of the elongated extension member to cause the dusting member to rotate.
