Abstract: A cleaning device includes a shaft, a cleaning element mounted at a distal end of the shaft, a spray device mounted near the distal end of the shaft, a handle assembly mounted at a proximal end of the shaft, and a rod. The spray device includes a liquid reservoir, a pump and a nozzle. The handle assembly includes a lever rotatable about a pivot point with first and second engagement surfaces of different distances from the pivot point, and a knob having a cam surface and rotatable between first and second positions. The rod extends between the pump and the lever. The knob cam surface is engaged with the rod for aligning a first end of the rod to the first engagement surface with the knob in the first position and aligning the first end of the rod to the second engagement surface with the knob in the second position.

Abstract: A sprayer assembly that includes a reservoir for storing liquid, a pump in fluid communication with the reservoir, first and second supply tubes in fluid communication with the pump wherein the pump is configured to draw liquid from the reservoir and discharge the liquid into the first and second supply tubes, a first nozzle in fluid communication with the first supply tube, a second nozzle in fluid communication with the second supply tube, and a collar having at least one protrusion and rotatable between a first position in which the at least one protrusion pinches closed the first supply tube but not the second supply tube, and a second position in which the at least one protrusion pinches closed the second supply tube but not the first supply tube.

Abstract: An adhesive roller for detritus removal having an elongated strip where the strip has both a backing layer and an adhesive layer overlying and covering a first side of the backing layer. The strip also has a first end, a second end and two spaced apart sides. The strip is wound from its first end and to its second end into a tubular cylindrical roller with the adhesive layer facing outwardly. An adhesive release coating also overlies at least a portion of a second side of the backing layer. The adhesive release coating may be either applied as a liquid coating, or may be a solid substrate. This adhesive release coating facilitates removal of individual sheets from the roller. Alternatively, a portion of the backing layer is crimped to form alternating peaks and valleys along at least a portion of the backing layer.

Abstract: A display holder for a tubular cylindrical roll, such as a lint roller. The holder includes a planar main section constructed of a flexible material as well as a roll support which is pivotally mounted to the lower end of the main body between an operable position and a collapsed position. In its operable position, the roll support extends outwardly from the main body and supports the lower end of a roll inserted over the main body. Conversely, in its collapsed position, the roll support folds flatly against the main body for shipping and high density packing.

Abstract: A lint roller holder having a pair of elongated housing parts which are substantially identical to each other. Each housing part includes an elongated handle section and semi-cylindrical lint roller support section which is longitudinally adjacent the handle section. The housing parts are secured together in a facing relationship, such that an outer peripheral edge of both of said semi-cylindrical lint roller support and said handle sections abut against each other to form both a cylindrical lint roller support and a handle. The outer peripheral edges of the housing parts are then secured together by ultrasonic welding. Each housing part also includes at least one cut-out in the semi-cylindrical lint roller support section to reduce raw material usage requirements.

Abstract: A lint roller assembly having a holder with a handle and a lint roller support section longitudinally adjacent each other. The lint roller support section is adapted to rotatably support a tubular cylindrical lint removal roller. A tubular cylindrical rigid roller cover is open at one end and dimensioned to be positioned over the roller so that the cover entirely encloses the roller. A latch in the cover automatically engages a catch on the holder as the cover is longitudinally inserted over the holder to detachably lock the cover and holder together.

Abstract: A clothes hamper having a base with a first and second portions joined by a hinge mechanism. A first bin is mounted to the first portion of the base while a second bin is mounted to the second portion of the base. Each bin is collapsible between an expanded position in which the tops and bottoms of the bin are spaced apart from each other, and a collapsed position in which the top and bottom of the bin are positioned closely adjacent each other and with the sidewall for each bin sandwiched between the top and the bottom. With the bins in their collapsed position, the hinge mechanism enables the base portions to be folded over on each other so that the bins are sandwiched in between the base portions for compact storage.

Abstract: An ironing board assembly for use with a door. The assembly includes an elongated ironing board and an ironing board support. An upper end of the ironing board support is attached to the top of the door so that the ironing board support extends along and closely adjacent one side of the door. One end of the ironing board is attachable to a lower end of the ironing board support so that the ironing board is movable between a first position in which the ironing board extends horizontally outwardly from the door and a second position in which the ironing board extends vertically and closely adjacent the side of the door and so that a top of the ironing board faces outwardly from the door. A first latch locks the ironing board in its first position while, similarly, a second latch locks the ironing board in its second position.

Abstract: A scented hanger assembly having a clothes hanger with a mounting ring attached to the clothes hanger. A scent cartridge has a base defining a cavity and a scented material is disposed within that cavity. The base also includes a recess complementary in shape to the mounting ring and the recess is dimensioned so that the base Frictionally engages the mounting ring when positioned within the recess to thereby detachably secure the scent cartridge to the clothes hanger.

Abstract: A clothes hanger having a shoulder bar with two spaced ends. An elongated pant bar having two ends is disposed between the shoulder bar so that one end of the pant bar is secured to one end of the shoulder bar, while the other end of the pant bar is secured to the other end of the shoulder bar. A hook is attached to the midpoint of the shoulder bar for mounting the hanger on a closet rod. The shoulder bar and pant bar each include at least one elongated airflow through slot which facilitates air circulation through the hanger.

Abstract: A toilet cleaning implement having a plunger with an elongated handle and a compressible cup attached to one end of the handle. The cup defines a cavity open at one end. An elongated rod is longitudinally slidably mounted to the handle and movable between an extended position and a retracted position. A toilet cleaning brush is attached to one end of the handle so that, with the rod in its retracted position, the brush is nested within the cup cavity and with the rod in its extended position, the brush protrudes outwardly through the open end of the cup cavity.

Abstract: A detritus removal roller construction particularly suited for a lint roller is disclosed having an elongated strip with a backing layer and an adhesive layer overlying one side of the backing layer. The strip has a first end, a second end and two spaced apart sides and is wound from its first end to its second end into a tubular cylindrical roll. The backing layer is made of a compressible material which retains and/or creates an electrostatic charge in use.
