Publication number: 20180344124Abstract: A cleaning device is provided that includes a cleaning element, a cleaning head, a housing, an electric pump, a battery, a container of cleaning fluid, an activation button, and a spray nozzle. The cleaning element and the cleaning head have spray openings that are in registration with one another. The container forms a fluid and air tight connection with the pump. The activation button places the pump and the battery in electrical communication. The spray nozzle forms a fluid tight and air tight connection with the pump so that the pump is configured to spray fluid from the container through the first and second spray openings onto a surface to be cleaned. The cleaning head, the cleaning element, and the spray nozzle define a cavity that traps spray from the spray nozzle between the cleaning device and the surface to be cleaned.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2018Publication date: December 6, 2018Applicant: Unger Marketing International, LLCInventors: Joseph K. Patterson, James M. Buckley, John Lombardo, Stephen Huda, Paul H. Adams, Bryan Lee Roberts, Frank Wilde
