i cleaning device which obviates the necessity Figure 2 is a perspective-view ofit-hedevice of leaning out of the window when cleaning on an enlarged scale.
the outside surfaces of the window panes. The invention further comprehends a win- 10 dow cleaning device which is so constructed as to facilitate the cleaning of the outside surface of the window pane of the inner sash without the necessity of partly operating upon the same from the lowerend and from fire the upper end.
The invention further contemplates in a window cleaning device, a thin, flat pad of absorbent material adapted to contain a washing fluid, together with a handle member detachably connectedtherewith, and in which the pad and handle member are provided with interengageable locking means. i
The invention further embodies ijn-a window cleaning device, a handle member which includes a shank having an end provided with a locking notch spaced from its free terminal and adapted to be associated with a plurality of cleaning elements respectively provided with means. designed toreceive the end of the handle member and to cooperate with the locking notch, whereby said cleaning elements may be interchangeably associated with the handle member to perform their various func- Other obj ects of the invention reside in the comparative simplicity of construction and mode of use of the device, the economy with which it may be produced and the general efficiency derived therefrom.
in view, reference is had to the following specification and'accompanying drawings, in which .there'is exhibited an example or embodiment of the invention which is in no Way intended as a limitation upon thegsc'ope of v the appended claim, as it-is to be clearly understood that variations and -1nodifications which properly fall within the scope of'said 1 Figure 3 is a similar fragme tive view illustrating the rear of the cleaning pad and the manner in which the handle member. is' associatedltherewith.
Figure 45 is a fragmentary sectional view taken approximately on the line 4-4 of Figntaryiperspec Referring to the drawings by characters j of reference, the device includes a handle member designated generally by the reference character 10 which is made up of a pair of slidably associated shank sections 11 and 12, the former having a hand grip 13 at one end thereof and the latter being provided with an angularly disposed arcuate terminal 14 at the same end, which terminal is designed to present a manipulating head for adjusting the length of the handle shank. The shank sections are slidably associated by means of sleeves 15 and 16, the former being secured to the shank section 12 while freely embracing the shank section 11. The latter sleeve 16 is secured to the shank section 11 and freely embraces the shank section 12. The shank section 12 is provided with an offset end 21 having a locking notch 22 spaced from the free terminal of said end.
placement.
The cleaning elements, which may vary in character according to their function, are designed fordetachable association with the offset end 21 and the principal cleaning element consists of a sheet of absorbent matee With the above recited and other objects rial 28 which is stretched over a supporting frame constructed of wire mesh 24. The wire mesh frame has certain of its meshes or wires offset as at 25 to provide a series or plurality of aligned receiving loops through which the offset end 21 of the handle member is designed to vbe threaded until one of the loop snaps into the locking notch 22, thereby connecting and holding the cleaning claim, may be resorted to when found ex element in place and against accidental dis- In use and operation, with the cleaning element and handle associated, it is obvious that the cleaning element may be impregnated with a cleaning fluid and the user by grasping the handle in the manner illustrated in Figure 1, may Wash the outer surfaces of the Window panes. Due to the fact that the cleaning element is in the natureof a thin, fiat absorbent pad, it is Obvious that the outer surface of the Window pane of the inner sash may be Washed completely by merely elevating the in'ner sash partway, as illustrated in Figure 1. Likewise, the outer surface of the wmclow pane of the outer sash may be Washed Without the necessity of leaning out of the window.
