  • Device having dual renewable blades for treating a target surface and replaceable cartridge therefor
    Patent number: 8495784
    Abstract: A device for treating a target surface, such as occurs when cleaning a window. The device has a squeegee blade or other member to apply pressure to the target surface. A sheet movably covers the blade, to present a fresh covering to the target surface with each use. The fresh surface provides for improved removal of the liquid from, or improved treatment of the liquid on, the target surface. Additionally a sheet may comprise a prewetted substrate to apply the liquid to the target surface. One or both of the sheets may be disposed in a cartridge insertable to and removable from the device.

  • Head for a cleaning device and cleaning device usable therewith
    Publication number: 20090139045
    Abstract: A head for a cleaning device. The head has a cleaning surface which has multiple sections. The sections are movable relative to each other in response to force applied by the user. The sections can be moved from a first configuration having noncoplanar sections to a second configuration where the sections are coplanar. The noncoplanar configuration may provide cavities for the collection of debris from a surface to be cleaned, such as a floor. The coplanar configuration may provide for improved stress distribution across the cleaning surface.
