Abstract: A cleaning implement includes an elongated, arcuate shaft having a handle at a proximal end and a cleaning head at a distal end. The cleaning head includes a plurality of juxtaposed, removable attachments, such as a sponge, a scrubbing brush and one or more wiper blades. The shaft is constructed with a resilient but slightly pliable material so that a user can simultaneously force the sponge, brush and blades against a windshield by applying a predetermined amount of force to the handle.

Abstract: A support stand for portable electronic devices includes a substantially-circular base component having an upper surface, a lower surface and a continuous periphery surrounding a central aperture. Formed on the upper surface are a pair of transverse channels that are each substantially tangential to the central aperture. Within each channel are a plurality of substantially semi-cylindrical grooves, each having an imaginary bisector plane that is at a discrete, oblique angle relative to a vertical plane. Each channel includes an inclined inner wall that in combination with one of the grooves uprightly supports a portable electronic device at a distinct angle.

Abstract: A screen protector applicator includes a cradle having a bottom surface, a plurality of upstanding peripheral walls and an open top in communication with an interior chamber. The interior chamber is dimensioned and configured to tightly conform to the periphery of both an adhesive screen protector and a corresponding portable electronic device, such as a wireless phone. The protector includes an earpiece slit adjacent a top edge and a control button aperture proximal a lower edge that respectively align with a protrusion and a mound on the bottom surface of the cradle. To apply the screen protector, a user positions the protector within the cradle such that the protrusion is seated in the slit and the mound is received within the aperture. The electronic device is superimposed, face-down, on the anchored protector to adhesively bond the device thereto.

To apply the screen protector, a user positions the protector within the cradle such that the protrusion is seated in the slit and the mound is received within the aperture. A protective layer on the film is removed to expose an adhesive, and the electronic device is superimposed, face-down, on the anchored film to adhesively bond the device thereto.

Abstract: A pet leash includes an elongated shaft formed of an inner core of bendable but extremely resilient tubing similar to that used to construct certain tent frames. The tubing is encapsulated by a cylindrical foam layer and an outer hollow sleeve that minimize impact with surrounding objects when the shaft is flexed and suddenly released. At an upper end of the shaft is a handle formed of a length-adjustable strap with a loop attached thereto. A clip at the lower end of the shaft is releasably securable to either a pet collar or an adjustable yoke. The resilient-but-flexible shaft easily bends around trees and similar obstructions but returns to an original, linear configuration when a stressing force is removed to prevent entangling.
