  • Patent number: 12202013
    Abstract: The device includes a substantially cylindrical, oblong, rigid, extension pole having a distal end upon which is formed an articulatable jaw structure head which can be actuated between open and closed positions by the pull of either a medial handle or knob located at the proximal end. A collector sock made from a pliable sheet material can be mounted upon the jaw structure so that the sock enwraps the entire item to be dusted such as a ceiling fan blade. The inner surface of the sock surrounding its open end maw can include asperities and electrostatic, dust adhering fibers to help scrape off and capture fine particles of dust and other debris from the item being dusted. The head can include a pair of parallely separatable cantelevered beams engaging the sock.

  • Publication number: 20230347005
    Abstract: The device includes a substantially L-shaped body including a docking station for mounting a wick-based fragrance dispensing bottle within a range of sizes. The docking station can include a number of resilient support tabs that grasp the neck of the bottle and serve to localize the bottle’s top wick to a central plane regardless of bottle size so that it can be adjustably engaged by a movable heater. Resilient guide tabs straddling the plane are stiffer than a resilient latching tab that moves within the plane. The heater can be mounted on a sliding carriage that can move along the plane to closely nest the wick for increased vapor emission and move away to decrease vapor emission.

  • Patent number: 11679420
    Abstract: The device includes a substantially cylindrical oblong rigid extension member having a distal end upon which is formed an articulatable jaw structure, and an opposite proximal end including a hand-operable trigger for actuating the jaw structure between open and closed positions. A collector sock made from a pliable sheet material can be mounted upon the jaw structure so that the sock enwraps the entire fan blade. The inner surface of the sock surrounding its open end includes a plush surface which can conform to uneven or embossed surfaces on the fan blades so that the sock scrapes off and captures dust and other debris from the fan blade.

  • Publication number: 20180000309
    Abstract: The device includes a substantially cylindrical oblong rigid extension member having a distal end upon which is formed an articulatable jaw structure, and an opposite proximal end including a hand-operable trigger for actuating the jaw structure between open and closed positions. A collector sock made from a pliable sheet material can be mounted upon the jaw structure. The sock has an open end and an opposite closed end. The inner surface of the sock surrounding its open end includes a plush surface which can conform to uneven or embossed surfaces on the fan blades. The sock can be mounted to the paddles of the jaw by folding the opening backward over the paddles to engage fasteners. When the jaw structure is in the open position, the open end of the mounted sock forms a maw for accepting the end of the fan blade therethrough. The maw can be translated over the fan blade until the sock enwraps essentially the entire fan blade.
