No. 802,615. PATENTED OCT. 24, 1906. E. A. VELLER. WINDOW CLEANER.
APPLIGATION FILED DBU.2Z,1904.
EDWARD A. VELLER, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
WINDOW-CLEANER.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Oct. 24, 1905.
Application filed December 22, 1904:. Serial No. 237,936.
l To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EDWARD A. VELLER, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Window-Cleaners, of which the following is a specification.
The invention relates to a certain new and improved device for cleaning windows and the like, and has for its object to provide a simple and efiicient instrument by means of which the entire surface of a window-glass may be quickly cleaned, dried, and polished.
To this end the invention comprises a flat blade, of metal or similar material, having a straight forward edge adapted to support a piece of textile fabric or the like and a resilient or flexible handle attached to said blade and adapted to relieve the blade and the window-glass from dangerous pressure, as well as sudden shocks or jars due to slipping.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents the mode of applying the invention in the operation of cleaning a window-glass. Fig. 2 is a vertical elevation of the device on a larger scale.
Referring to the drawings, A indicates the blade or body portion of the cleaner, which consists of aflat sheet, preferably of metal or hard rubber, having a straight forward edge. Secured to the blade is aflexible holder, which in the preferred form of the invention comprises a rod or shank B, flattened at one end and attached to body by rivets or other appropriate fastening means, and a handle C,
. loosely connected to the other end of said rod or shank. As shown, the handle C consists of a helical wire structure tapering in both directions from an intermediate swell or enlargement, the upper end of the wire being secured to the stem B by means of a slot cut transversely of the latter, into which the end of the wire is snapped, and the lower end of the wire is formed into a loop, by means of which the cleaner may be suspended when not in use. The handle may of course have any other preferred form provided it is loosely connected to the shank to permit relative lateral motion between the parts.
To use the device, a piece of wet cloth or other suitable material is thrown over the straight forward edge of the blade, as shown inFig, 1, and drawn backward and forward over the surface of the glass until all dirt is removed, after which a piece of dry cloth or other material is substituted and applied to the surface, as before, until the glass is thoroughly dried and polished, and, if desired, a polishing medium may be applied to the cloth last used. If too great pressure is applied to the device or the latter accidentally slips in the hand of the operator, the flexible handle yields laterally and all danger of breaking the glass is obviated. Owing to the straight front edge and the thin flexible character of the blade, every portion of the window-glass may be reached for thoroughly washing and dryj ing, and, in fact, the portion of the glass included between the partially raised or lowered sash may be reached by inserting the blade between the sash either from above or below.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patcut, is
1. A window-cleaner,comprisingaflat blade having a straight forward edge, a shank secured to the blade, and a handle loosely and yieldably connected to said shank.
2. A window-cleaner, comprising aflat blade having a straight forward edge, a shank secured to the blade, and a helical wire handle having its free end secured in a slot in the shank, whereby the handle and shank are loosely and yieldingly connected.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
EDWARD A. VELLER.
