Abstract: This is a bottle for containing a window-washing solution and having a sponge and a squeegee blade mounted vertially thereon along the side of the bottle. The sponge communicates with the interior of the bottle through an anti-leak valve contained in a button protrusion in the sidewall of the bottle overwhich a plastic member carrying the sponge and squeegee blade is snapped. A protective cover also snaps onto the bottle and covers the sponge and squeegee blade to protect them from deformation and damage during storage. The bottle with sponge, squeegee blade and protective cover in place provides a small profile for storage in the glove compartment of an automobile or the like.

Abstract: A hand tool for applying hot melt adhesive which minimizes leakage and enhances the speed and convenience of adhering one material to another. An applicator roller receives liquefied adhesive through an adjacent slot in an upper part of a retention chamber. The slot is at the top level of the liquefied adhesive when the tool is in its rest position. On the outside of the chamber, and below it, a brayer roller is provided for pressing one material to another to complete the adhering process. The tool must be tilted forward to provide adhesive to the applicator roller while it is rolled across the material, and tilted back somewhat to lift the applicator roller and to press down on the material with only the brayer roller.
Abstract: The present invention comprises a scrub brush for medical cleaning purposes having a housing including a base with a plurality of walls comprising a reservoir for containment of treatment material. A foil type sealing material is disposed across the walls to seal the treatment material in the reservoir. A foam element is arranged on the housing, and a piercing means is arranged to break the foil and soak the foam.
Abstract: A combination writing instrument comprising a plurality of nib devices detachably mounted at the front of pen holder, all of the nib devices being mounted in a head-to-tail connection with a uniform ink flow system to induce a constant and uniform ink flow from an ink reservoir to the front-most writing point for immediate and smooth writing, so that the user can select one of the nib devices to perform a desired writing purpose and enjoy a variety of writing modes.
Abstract: A toothbrush assembly having a handle, a brush assembly releaseably interconnected with one end of the handle, and a massaging device connected with a second end of the handle. The brush assembly has a cylindrical base shaped to be received in a recess in the end of the handle and has an array of bristles arranged to provide a concave brushing surface. The massaging device includes a carrier having a container of liquid positioned in an internal cavity of the carrier. The container is positioned so as to be broken and dispense its contents when an end of a toothbrush is inserted into the carrier. A porous, absorbent material forms an outer surface of the device and absorbs the liquid for application to the gums of a user.
Abstract: Lightweight, simple rug cleaner for residential use which uses a powdered cleaning composition for the cleaning of carpets. The cleaning composition comes in a throw-away, disposable container which is inserted into the rug cleaner for use.
Abstract: A cleaning device for cleaning phonograph records comprises a grip member th at least one cleaning insert engaged with the grip member and having a record engaging cleaning surface which projects outwardly therefrom which is adapted to rest upon a record to be cleaned. The surface may advantageously be covered by a ribbon or other cleaning cloth which may be wetted with a cleaning liquid. The grip member is provided with a bearing pressure weight member which acts through the grip member on the insert to apply a predetermined cleaning pressure to the record. The grip member advantageously comprises a member having a trough facing outwardly from each side into which an insert is positioned and a weight member is disposed therebetween the trough members. One of the inserts is adapted to rest in a cleaning housing or case so that it contacts a wick which is wetted with cleaning liquid so that its surface or the surface of a cleaning cloth wrapped therearound is wetted at all times.

Abstract: The tape player cleaning device comprises an elongated cylinder having felt pads at either end. One felt pad is designed to remain dry while the other felt pad is provided with a liquid solvent cleaning substance from an internal reservoir chamber with such supply being controlled by a manually actuated plunger mechanism connected to an actuating lever extending outwardly through a longitudinal slot in the barrel of the device. In operation, the end having the felt tip which is to be supplied with liquid is threadably removed whereupon the reservoir is filled by retraction of the plunger and the felt tip is threadably reconnected to its respectively associated end of the device. Thereafter, the tape player parts which require cleaning are accessed by this felt tip end which is supplied with a suitable amount of cleaning fluid by simultaneous manual actuation of the plunger mechanism.
