Abstract: An apparatus for removing ice, frost or bugs from a glass surface includes a bottle having an outer surface and an end. The apparatus also includes a base attached to the end of the bottle and washer interposed between the bottle and the base. The apparatus further includes a guard extending from the washer so as to define a space interposed between the bottle and the guard. In addition, the apparatus includes a plurality of gripping members extending outwardly from the outer surface of the bottle. The gripping members increase the ergonomic efficiency of the apparatus. The base of the apparatus has flutes extending therefrom for the removal of ice or frost from a glass surface. Alternatively, the base can have a fabric attached thereto for the removal of bugs from a glass surface.

Abstract: This disclosure is directed to a thumbless snow removal and cleaning paddle of generally pentagonal configuration which encloses the user's entire hand, fits snugly around the wrist, is reversible during use, contains a moisture penetration resistant outer layer of greater size and extent elastically fastened on its inner side to the outer portion of a substantially symmetrical inner layer of lesser size and extent approximately one major surface of which (dorsal or plantar) is composed of natural or synthetic chamois material with the remaining major surfaces being composed of absorbent, soft cloth material.

Abstract: A cleaning device includes a barrier having (1) a central axis, (2) a first barrier segment extending from the central axis, (3) a second barrier segment extending from the central axis, and (4) a third barrier segment extending from the central axis. The cleaning device also includes a first cleaning layer having a first layer front side and a first layer back side, the first layer back side being attached directly to the first barrier segment and the second barrier segment. The cleaning device further includes a second cleaning layer having a second layer front side and a second layer back side, the second layer back side being attached directly to the second barrier segment and the third barrier segment. In addition, the cleaning device includes a third cleaning layer having a third layer front side and a third layer back side, the third layer back side being attached directly to the first barrier segment. The cleaning device also includes a cleaning agent impregnated within the first cleaning layer.
