Abstract
An apparatus may include a first support, a first cleaning material coupled to a first side of the first support, a second support rotatably coupled to the first support at a first edge of the second support, the second support defining a first opening disposed adjacent to a second edge of the second support opposite the first edge, a second cleaning material coupled to a first side of the second support, and a latch coupled to the first support, the latch to engage the first opening of the second support to maintain the first side of the first support in a substantially fixed relationship with respect to the first side of the second support.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . An apparatus comprising:
a first support; a first cleaning material coupled to a first side of the first support; a second support rotatably coupled to the first support at a first edge of the second support, the second support defining a first opening disposed adjacent to a second edge of the second support opposite the first edge; a second cleaning material coupled to a first side of the second support; a first latch integral with the first support, to engage the first opening of the second support, and comprising a projection to pass through the first opening, the projection to engage a second side of the second support in a case that the first latch engages the first opening of the second support; and a first stop coupled to the first side of first support to engage the first side of the second support in a case that the first latch engages the first opening of the second support.
2 . (canceled)
3 . An apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first latch comprises:
a release element to compress the first latch and to allow the compressed first latch to disengage from the first opening.
4 . An apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the release element extends past a second side of the first support.
5 . An apparatus according to claim 4 , further comprising:
a handle coupled to the second side of the first support.
6 . (canceled)
7 . (canceled)
8 . An apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a second stop coupled to the first side of first support to engage the first side of the second support adjacent to a central portion of the second edge of the second support in a case that the first latch engages the first opening of the second support; and a third stop coupled to the first side of first support to engage the first side of the second support adjacent to a first end of the second edge of the second support in a case that the first latch engages the first opening of the second support, wherein the first stop is to engage the first side of the second support adjacent to a second end of the second edge of the second support in a case that the first latch engages the first opening of the second support.
9 . (canceled)
10 . An apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the second support defines a second opening disposed adjacent to the second edge of the second support, the apparatus further comprising:
a second latch integral with the first support, to engage the second opening of the second support, and comprising a second projection to pass through the second opening, the second projection to engage a second side of the second support in a case that the second latch engages the second opening of the second support; and a second stop coupled to the first side of first support to engage the first side of the second support in a case that the second latch engages the second opening of the second support.
11 . An apparatus according to claim 10 ,
wherein the first latch and the second latch are disposed between the first stop and the second stop.
12 . (canceled)
13 . An apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first opening is defined by at least one beveled portion of the second support.
14 . (canceled)
15 . (canceled)
16 . An apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the second support comprises:
a third beveled edge and a fourth beveled edge opposite the third beveled edge, a first bevel extending from the third beveled edge toward a central portion of the second side of the second support; and a second bevel extending from the fourth beveled edge toward the central portion of the second side of the second support.
17 . An apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the second support is denser than the first support.
18 . An apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first support comprises anti-skew ribs.
