Abstract
The present invention relates to a cleaning device and in particular, to such a cleaning device that is adapted to having a controllable and expandable cleaning surface head. The expandable cleaning surface head is associated with a handle where movement in the vertical direction of the handle is adapted to horizontal movement that controls the size of cleaning surface head.
Claims33
A device having a variable width cleaning surface, the device including a handle assembly provided in the vertical axis, an adaptor assembly and a cleaning head assembly provided in the horizontal axis, said handle assembly is functionally associated with said adaptor assembly which in turn is functionally associated with said cleaning head assembly, wherein said adaptor assembly provides for translating vertical movement along the vertical axis of said handle assembly to horizontal movement along the horizontal axis of said cleaning head assembly, said cleaning head assembly including at least two portions a first portion and second portion wherein each of said at least two portions having an upper surface, lower surface, outer side surface and inner side surface, wherein said lower surface providing a surface from which a cleaning surface extends, and wherein said first portion and said second portion forming said head assembly are associated with one another along said inner side surfaces therein allowing said at least two portions to slide relative to one another along the length of said inner side surfaces to provide the device with variable width while said cleaning surface extends from said lower surface at any variable width.
A broom having a variable width cleaning surface, the broom including a handle assembly and an adaptor assembly configured to move along the vertical axis and a broom head assembly configured to assume at least two configuration along a horizontal axis including a closed configuration an open configuration, wherein said handle assembly is functionally associated with said adaptor assembly which in turn is functionally associated with said broom head assembly, wherein said adaptor assembly provides for translating vertical movement of said handle assembly along the vertical axis to horizontal movement of said broom head assembly along the horizontal axis, characterized in that said broom head assembly includes:
- a) at least two broom head portions that are coupled with one another to form a unitary broom head having variable width along the horizontal plane wherein said variable width is controllable with the movement of said handle assembly along the vertical axis;
- b) the unitary broom head including:
- i) a planar body comprising an upper surface and a lower surface;
- ii) wherein said upper surface is provided for associating with a portion of said adaptor assembly;
- iii) wherein said lower surface features broom brush bristles;
- iv) wherein each of said at least two broom head portions are configured to slide relative to one another along at least one side surface so as to allow said broom head to assume said variable width along the horizontal axis,
- v) and wherein said at least two broom head portions are characterized in that they are geometric chiral bodies of the other, each of said at least two broom head portions forming ‘U-like’ polygonal body comprising a rectangular base integral with two extending arms including a long arm and a short arm, said long arm having an outer edge and an inner edge;
- and wherein said short arm comprises an outer edge and an inner edge;
- wherein said long arm inner edge of each of said at least two broom head portions is configured to slidingly interface with said short arm outer edge of each of said at least two broom head portions;
- and wherein said short arm inner edge of each of said at least two broom head portions is configured to slidingly interface with one another.
