Abstract
The invention describes a cleaning system in the form of a mitt having cleaning pads attached by reversible fastening means so that pads may be electively and consecutively attached, removed, or replaced. Furthermore, the invention provides a means for introducing, retaining, dispensing, and distributing a fluid, such as water or a liquid cleaning product, so that a removable pad may be irrigated with a regulated dose of fluid prior to use. The invention also describes a cooperative enclosure that can store a plurality of cleaning pads. Features of the compatible enclosure serve to physically guide the body of the mitt into alignment with a replacement pad.
Claims23
A portable fluid dispensing device for mounting upon a human hand comprising:
- a hand-held applicator that includes a pocket that is configured to receive one hand of a user, the pocket partitioning the hand-held applicator into a rear portion and a front portion;
- a fluid reservoir formed in the rear portion for holding a fluid that is to be dispensed;
- wherein the rear portion includes a first layer and a second layer that are fluidly sealed to one another such that the fluid reservoir is directly defined by and located between the first and second layers, the second layer being a separate layer from the first layer and further defining one layer and face of the pocket and being contactable by the one hand of the user, wherein a footprint of the second layer is less than a footprint of the first layer;
- at least one fluid dispensing outlet formed in the front portion and in selective fluid communication with the fluid reservoir for selectively dispensing the fluid through the at least one fluid dispensing outlet;
- and
- a fluid dispensing mechanism in fluid communication with the fluid reservoir and the at least one fluid dispensing outlet and being configured to selectively deliver the fluid from the fluid reservoir to the at least one fluid dispensing outlet through which the fluid is dispensed along the front portion.

- and
- a fluid dispensing mechanism in fluid communication with the fluid reservoir and the at least one fluid dispensing outlet and being configured to selectively deliver the fluid from the fluid reservoir to the at least one fluid dispensing outlet through which the fluid is dispensed, the fluid dispensing mechanism including a dispensing tube that has a distal end that defines the fluid dispensing outlet, wherein the distal end of the dispensing tube is disposed along an outer surface of the front portion at a location spaced internally from a peripheral edge of the front portion for delivering the fluid centrally with respect to the front portion.
A portable fluid dispensing device for mounting upon a human hand comprising:
- a hand-held applicator that includes a pocket that is configured to receive one hand of a user, the pocket partitioning the hand-held applicator into a rear portion and a front portion;
- a fluid reservoir formed in the rear portion for holding a fluid that is to be dispensed, wherein the rear portion includes an outer layer and an inner layer that are fluidly sealed to one another such that the fluid reservoir is defined between the outer and inner layers, wherein the front portion is only defined by a single layer that is directly attached to the outer layer but free of attachment to the inner layer;
- at least one fluid dispensing outlet formed in the front portion and in selective fluid communication with the fluid reservoir for selectively dispensing the fluid through the at least one fluid dispensing outlet;
- and
- a fluid dispensing mechanism in fluid communication with the fluid reservoir and the at least one fluid dispensing outlet and being configured to selectively deliver the fluid from the fluid reservoir to the at least one fluid dispensing outlet through which the fluid is dispensed.
