Abstract: An improved apparatus for spraying a fluid or fluid and gas mixture behind and substantially in the path of a mobile floor cleaner. An attachment housing is attached to the mobile floor cleaner, and at least one spray nozzle is positioned in the housing to generate a fluid or fluid and gas spray. Fluid is supplied to the spray nozzle by a fluid reservoir that is attached to the housing and connected to the spray nozzle by means of a fluid line.

Abstract: This invention provides a rotary floor cleaner having means for detachably securing the drive mechanism to the base of the unit, said means including wedge blocks against which the drive mechanism may be wedged and a rotatable cam for incrementally forcing the drive mechanism into wedging engagement between the wedge blocks and the cam.

Abstract: The improved cleaning tool disclosed herein is particularly designed for cleaning walls and ceilings. The tool includes a novel block assembly that is mounted on an end of a wand adapted to be held and manipulated by the person doing the cleaning and that includes one surface adapted to be disposed adjacent to the wall or ceiling to be cleaned during the cleaning operation. Two continous rows of channel bristles are mounted on the one surface of the block assembly and extend across the one surface, in a direction transverse to the normal, back and forth path of motion of the block assembly while in usage. The block assembly includes a plurality of nozzles that are designed to wet the rows of channel bristles with cleaning fluid so that the cleaning fluid will flow to the distal ends of the bristles and then be applied, as a thin film, to the wall or ceiling to be cleaned. Vacuum suction slots are disposed between the rows of channel bristles.

Abstract: A device for supporting and stabilizing a cylindrical, open-topped container as the container is tipped to discharge its contents into a receptacle. The device includes a pivot member connected by spaced arms to a brace member, legs extending downward from the arms, and an elastic fastening member. The legs hook about a lip on the container, and in cooperation with the fastening member, which loops about a projection on the container, hold the brace member against a side of the container. The pivot member may then rest on the edge of the receptacle to provide a stable pivotal axis for tipping the container.
