Abstract: An apparatus for cleaning a selected surface, usually fluid-wetted or submerged, has a membrane element. The membrane element comprises a generally concave lower surface that clings, when in motion, to the selected surface by a first force and a generally convex upper surface. The membrane element has a means associated with the generally convex upper surface which generates a second force which, when in motion, causes the lower surface and the selected surface to be pressed more closely together. particularly embodied as a generally wing shaped cross-sectional profile, wherein the generally wing shaped cross-sectional profile is produced with at least one ring wall comprised of a series of rods projecting up from the generally convex upper surface of the membrane and often a plurality of ring walls formed from projecting rods. An elongated handle, usually a float, is affixed to the membrane element upper surface.

Abstract: An apparatus for cleaning a selected surface, usually fluid-wetted or submerged, has a membrane element. The membrane element comprises a lower surface and an upper surface. The membrane element has a means associated with the upper surface which generates a force which, when in motion, causes the lower surface and the selected surface to be pressed more closely together, particularly embodied as a "wing" cross-sectional profile for added cleaning force and structural support. The lower surface is often textured to create and control fluid motion related inter-surfacial attractive and fluid shearing forces used in the cleaning motion. A perimeter scraping edge surrounds at least a portion of the membrane element. An elongated handle, usually a float, is affixed to the membrane element upper surface. In addition to a slightly concave outer region of the lower surface, the membrane element lower surface may have a concave central region and one or more fluid release apertures piercing the membrane element.

Abstract: Provided is a golfing equipment carrier having a housing constructed from a cover member mated to a base member. A rotatable supporting foot is included in the housing. Within the base member is an internal storage volume for retaining golf balls and other small golfing items. Associated with the housing are clamps for reversibly securing golf club shafts.
