  • Publication number: 20230232969
    Abstract: A caddy for carrying window cleaning accessories such as squeegees. The caddy can hang from the waistbelt of a user. The caddy can include a lower reservoir portion engaged by an upper sleeve portion. The sleeve loosely engages the oversized brim of the reservoir to form a peripheral drainage gap between the outer surface of the sleeve and the reservoir brim to trap liquids dripping over the outer surface of the sleeve. The caddy can be simply manufactured by a pair of arcuate panels bonded along a peripheral seal to a oblong, outwardly concave back panel to securely rest against a user's upper thigh.

  • Publication number: 20210235958
    Abstract: An interlinking sheath removably and intimately mounts upon the head of hand manipulable tool. The sheath can be made from pliable, durable sheet material such as woven nylon fabric. The sheath includes an outer surface having a hook-type hook-and-vane fabric fastener. A number of accessories such as squeegees, scrapers, brushes, bronze wool, and fabric touch-up rags can be interchangeably mounted to the sheath. The sheath can have a substantially hollow cylindrical shape having closed ends and an oblong opening extending along one side. An undulating rim around the opening forms flaps which can fasten across the opening allowing the sheath to be intimately and securely mounted to a rigid cylindrical head on the tool.
