  • Patent number: 5101530
    Abstract: An improved, light-weight squeegee suitable for use in and around the home for cleaning and drying shower and tub enclosures, windows, and spa decks, or autos and boat decks. The squeegee is constructed without metal parts that could scratch glass, ceramic and painted surfaces or that could corrode and stain such surfaces. A cylindrical handle holds dual S-shaped blades, which extend along the handle and beyond one end of the handle to facilitate cleaning in tight spaces. The unitary blades are coextruded from thermoplastics having different hardnesses, the roots of the blades held in the slotted handle being stiff, while the extended portions of the blades used for wiping surfaces are relatively flexible. The compact size and the integral handle parallel with the blades allows the user to maneuver the squeegee efficiently in the narrow confines of glass enclosures.

  • Patent number: 5074027
    Abstract: A squeegee has a handle consisting of a straight elongate cylindrical member having a pair of elongate blades mounted along one side, flush with one end of the handle and protruding beyond the opposite end. The blades each have a rigid base portion received in one of a pair of channels and a flexible distal portion protruding therefrom for wiping a surface. The blades are integrally formed in a shallow S-shaped cross section and the channels are formed with parallel curved sidewalls conforming to the curvature of a portion of the width of the blade.

  • Patent number: 4020300
    Abstract: A sectionalized crane collector system is provided for electrical power rail systems for overhead cranes and the like made up of a pair of aligned conductor rails spaced apart longitudinally to form an air gap and having upper surfaces for engagement by a current conductor movable along them, a bridging rail member of the same shape as the air gap and adapted to fit in the air gap flush with the top of the conductor rails, a conductor apparatus fixed to and parallel to the bridging rail and in electrical contact therewith, the conductor apparatus being longer than the air gap, resilient conductor apparatus on each aligned conductor rail adjacent the air gap releasably engaging the ends of the parallel conductor member, vertically movable carrier apparatus adjacent said air gap carrying the parallel conductor means between a first position engaging the resilient conductor apparatus in which the bridging rail member fills the air gap flush with the top of the aligned rails and a second position in which the par
