Abstract
A cleaning implement includes a handle, a head, a first operative surface connected to the head, comprising bristles, a second operative surface connected to the head in opposing relation to the first operative head, the second operative surface being interchangeable among at least one cleaning element, and a swivel connected to the handle and the head. The swivel allows varied angular positioning of the head with respect to the handle. The head is rotatable to selectively position the first and second operative heads.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . An implement, comprising:
a handle; a head; a first operative surface connected to the head, comprising bristles; a second operative surface connected to the head in opposing relation to the first operative head, the second operative surface being interchangeable among at least one cleaning element; and a swivel connected to the handle and the head; wherein the swivel allows varied angular positioning of the head with respect to the handle; wherein the head is rotatable to selectively position the first and second operative heads.
2 . The implement of claim 1 , wherein the handle has a generally longitudinal axis, the swivel forms a pivot point for the head with respect to the handle, at an extended end of the handle, the pivot point is approximately perpendicular to the generally longitudinal axis of the handle, and the head has a rotational centrum approximately perpendicular to the pivot point.
3 . The implement of claim 2 , wherein the head is selectively pivotally fixable relative to the longitudinal axis of the handle about the pivot point.
4 . The implement of claim 2 , wherein the swivel selectively fixes the head relative to the handle at the pivot point.
5 . The implement of claim 3 , wherein the head is selectively rotationally fixable relative to the pivot point and the handle about the rotational centrum.
6 . A system for cleaning, comprising:
a joint; a handle extension connected to the joint; and a head connected to the joint, having a first element and a second element, the first element and the second element selected from the group consisting of: bristles, mop, squeegee, duster, scraper, and combinations; wherein the head is rotationally fixable relative to the handle via the joint, over at least about 270° of rotation relative to the handle extension.
7 . The system of claim 6 , further comprising:
a pivot pin connected to the handle extension at the joint, and connected to the head, the head is rotatable on the pivot pin.
8 . The system of claim 7 , further comprising:
a selector for facing the first element and the second element with respect to the handle, for cleaning selectively by either of the first element and second element.
9 . An implement for cleaning a surface, comprising:
a head having generally opposing cleaning elements; and an extension hingedly connected to the head; wherein the head is positionable in fixed relation to the extension for cleaning; wherein the head is positionable in fixed relation to the extension and the surface for cleaning.
10 . The cleaning implement of claim 9 , wherein the head is rotatably positional for contacting the surface.
11 . The cleaning implement of claim 10 , wherein the opposing cleaning elements are each selected from the group consisting of: bristle, broom, mop, squeegee, duster, scraper, brush, and combinations.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
