Abstract
Description
- This application is a continuation-in-part of co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/108,973, filed Apr. 19, 2005, hereby incorporated by reference.
- This invention relates to a duster and handle and specifically to a duster having a smaller duster inserted in the handle.
- Cleaning implements such as brooms, brushes and dustpans are routinely used in combination with other cleaning implements to enhance the ability of a user to clean a given surface. Implements commonly combine different advantageous features to achieve a given objective. Examples include brushes having attachable and detachable handles and broom heads that attach to dustpans.
- Cleaning, however, frequently requires performing diverse tasks in addition to sweeping dirt and dust from a floor surface into the dustpan. For example, cleaning can involve unrelated tasks such as cleaning walls and dusting furniture. It can also include scrubbing a first surface with one implement and using a second implement to clean a second different surface or the cleaning of a second different type of grime.
- A manual cleaning apparatus is needed that can combine multiple manual cleaning devices to perform related and independent cleaning tasks.
- A dusting apparatus comprising an elongated rod having a proximal end and distal end, a first cleaning head, a first handle, an opening and an insert. The first cleaning head is attached to the proximal end of the elongated rod and the first handle is attached to the distal end of the elongated rod. The opening is located atop the first handle and is used to removably insert the insert into the rod.
- The elongated rod may be adjustable and may define a single longitudinal axis while the insert defines a second longitudinal axis. The axis of the rod and the axis of the insert are coaxial The opening is tubular and includes a protuberance that is received by a handle of the insert. The handle of the insert has a proximal end and a distal end. The distal end has a cylindrical notch around the circumference of the handle. The notch is received by a protuberance of opening when the insert is positioned in the opening.
- In a first position of the cleaning apparatus the groove of the insert is received by a notch located in the opening and the insert and the handle being coaxially aligned. In a second position of the cleaning device, the insert is removed from the handle.
- Additionally, the insert includes a dust collecting sleeve. The dust collecting sleeve includes a holder and holder attachment means. The dust collecting sleeve is positioned on the insert via a predetermined form that extends from the second handle. The predetermined form also includes locking means. When attached, the dust collecting means is held on the predetermined form through the use of the holder, holder attachment means and the locking means.

The connection is made byfemale screw threads 30 located within theneck 20 of the head andmale threads 31 located on the distal end of the handle. To attach theneck 20 to the handle 100 a user merely screws thehandle 100 into theneck 20 and hand tightens the connection. - The
head 21 also includes arod 102 that holds thebristles 101 of thecleaning head 21. Thebristles 101 of the cleaning head are soft, long bristles. Thebristles 101 are attached to a material (not shown) for easier attachment. Thesebristles 101 mimic the old-time feather dusters of the past. The material of thebristles 101 are attached to therod 102 by the use of glue or any other type of similar adhesive. - A substantial portion of the
rod 102 accommodates thebristles 101 except for thedistal end 103. Thedistal end 103 has a cylindrical diameter that is slightly larger than the diameter of therod 102. This larger diameter is inserted intohole 105 for locking the rod into the neck. This allows for easy replacement of thecleaning head 21. - The
elongated rod 100 has a longitudinal axis X. Theelongated rod 100 is extendable/retractable and has anupper portion 15 and alower portion 17. Theupper portion 15 has a slightly larger cylindrical or tubular circumference than thelower portion 17. This allows thelower portion 17 to retract into theupper portion 16. At the point of intersection of the upper and lower portion is ahousing 16. -
Rod 100 can be rigid or at least partially flexible and has a varying length that is preferably the approximate length of a long handled cleaning device such as a broom or a mop in which two hands are used during cleaning. - In another
embodiment rod 100 can have a fixed length.Rod 100 has an external perimeter that ergonomically accommodates the use of cleaningdevice 10 with one or two hands. - The
elongated rod 100 with telescoping feature has astopper 18. Thisstopper 18 allows thelower portion 17 of therod 100 to retract only a certain distance within theupper portion 15. Thehandle 13 may be either straight or ergonomically shaped to accommodate a user's hand. - The
rod 100 has ahandle 13. Thehandle 13 includes a grippingportion 14 attached to theupper portion 15 of therod 100. The grippingportion 14 has attached at the top aninsert interface 13. The insert interface is movable connected to the grippingportion 14. That is, the insert interface rotates about the longitudinal axis X. Theinsert interface 13 also contains a throughhole 62 as shown inFIG. 3 b. -
Insert interface 13 defines an opening 63 (as shown inFIG. 3 a) aligned with longitudinal axis-X.Opening 63 is shaped and dimensioned to receive insert 11 (SeeFIG. 3 c) and extends a predetermined length in the distal direction within grippingportion 14 androd 100. The inner dimensions of theopening 63 contain a tubular wall that can advantageously accommodate anyinsert 50 independent of the external shape of thehandle 30. Theinsert interface 13 also contains afirst protuberance - As shown in
FIG. 3 c, insert 11 includeshandle 55, holding means 50 and cleaningsurface 43. The insert handle 55 preferably has a length and shape for grasping with a single hand.Handle 55 securely interfaces withinsert interface 13 to lockinsert 11 in a first position. - The
handle 55 includes a throughhole 12 to support the weight of cleaning apparatus when suspended from a hook or bar positioned through the throughhole 12. Thehandle 55 includes anupper portion 52 and alower portion 53. Theupper portion 52 is constructed so that it interfaces withinsert interface 13. Thelower portion 53 is placed within theinsert interface 13. - At the bottom of the
lower section 53 is a second protuberance that surrounds the bottom portion of thehandle 55. Thesecond protuberance 40 forms acylindrical groove 41 that traverses the circumference of the bottom ofhandle 55. Thisgroove 41 interfaces with theprotuberances protuberances groove 41 interface, theinsert 11 is locked into theinsert interface 13. To ensure a proper lock theinsert interface 13 and insert handle 11 must be properly aligned. Also, when properly aligned throughholes - In use, the insert interface locks the
insert 11 into thehandle 100.Insert 11 can be removed and replaced from withinhandle 100.Duster 10 has a first position whereininsert 11 is positioned inrod 100 and a second position whereininsert 11 is removed fromrod 100.Insert 11 in the second position can be used independent of or in conjunction withduster 10. -
Insert 11 has a distal end portion and a proximal end portion that define a longitudinal axis-X′, which is in coaxial alignment with thehandle 100. Distal end portion includes a cleaninghead 43 and proximal end portion includeshandle 55. -
Insert 11 is a hand held device that includes a distal end portion having a soft dust collectingtype brush 43 shaped and dimensioned for readily positioning into and removing from opening 63. - In this preferred embodiment, the distal end portion includes dust-collecting
fibers 43. Distal end portion is shown as cylindrical in this one preferred embodiment, but it is understood that distal end portion can have any cross-sectional shape normal to longitudinal axis-X′ that can be received inopening 63 and include alternative dust collecting materials. - The
dust collection fibers 43 are formed on asleeve 43 as shown inFIG. 3 d. Thissleeve 43 is connected to thehandle 55 via predeterminedform 50. In this embodiment, thepredetermined form 50 is a metal wire but may be any type of device that will keep thesleeve 43′ erect when attached to the insert. - The
metal wire 50 is attached to thelower portion 40 of the handle. Themetal wire 50 is shaped thatwire 50 extends from thelower portion 40 and loops around back to thelower portion 40 making anelongated loop 50. At the top portion of theelongated loop 50 is alocking mechanism 45. To place thecollection fibers sleeve 43 on theinsert 11 thecollection fibers 43 slide along theelongated loop 50 so that theelongated loop 50 extends along and inside the full length of thecollection fibers 43. - Once in place the
collection fibers 43 have astring 44 andholder 42 attached. Theholder 42 is slide in between theelongated loop 50 and thelocking mechanism 45 is slide along theloop 50 to hold theholder 42 firmly in place. This in turn locks thecollection device 43 firmly on theinsert 11.FIG. 2 c shows thesleeve 43 on themetal wire 50 with thelocking mechanism 45 in use. - The
insert 11 in this preferred embodiment is preferably sized for cleaning in small spaces such as between the slats of blinds, for example.Insert 11 is removed and replaced within proximal end portion by generally aligning longitudinal axis-X′ with longitudinal axis-X ofhandle 13. - While insert is shown to be aligned with longitudinal axis for movement relative to longitudinal axis-X, insert 11 in the embodiments of the present invention can be removed and replaced in any manner to include axially, transverse to the longitudinal axis and further include rotating about the longitudinal axis or pivotal movements.
