  • Patent number: 11779177
    Abstract: A fan blade cleaning assembly for cleaning a ceiling fan blade includes a sleeve that is elongated for sliding onto a ceiling fan blade. A plurality of brushes is each coupled to the sleeve and each of the brushes is positioned within the sleeve. In this way each of the brushes can clean the ceiling fan blade when the sleeve is slid thereon. Moreover, the plurality of brushes is strategically positioned to clean a top surface and a bottom surface of the ceiling fan blade. A hose is fluidly coupled to the sleeve and the hose can be fluidly coupled to a vacuum source to facilitate the vacuum source to remove the dust and debris from the sleeve.

  • Patent number: 11745311
    Abstract: A buffing and polishing member has an uncompressed monolithic body of foam material having slits from an outside surface toward and less than a distance to a rotational axis of the body. The slits, on circumferential spaced planes, extend generally radially from the outside surface toward and less than a distance to the rotational axis to define a plurality of foam fingers and an unslit center portion. A fastening mechanism holds the center portion of the slit foam body in a compressed state along the rotational axis such that the uncompressed outer ends of the foam finger define a spherocylinder.

  • Patent number: 6098238
    Abstract: The floor treating device includes a tubular sheepskin sleeve telescoped over a single-piece rectangular wooden block having a bottom side and top side. A handle is threaded into an opening on the top side and passed through an opening in the sleeve. The sleeve is formed from a sheepskin blank or a fur including a base fabric and a dense woven pile of soft fibers to define the outer nap. The inner opening of the sleeve is slightly greater than the block. A top thin member a bottom member with the dense woven pile is superimposed and have the longitudinal edges which are sewn together to form the sleeve. A pair of scrap sheepskin blanks cover on the bottom of the head having the opposed longitudinal edges sewn together to form the sleeve. The sewn seam extends outwardly or inwardly into engagement with the head. One end of the sleeve edges may have the end sewn together to again form a closed end.

  • Patent number: 5852842
    Abstract: The floor treating device includes a tubular sheepskin sleeve telescoped over a single piece wooden head having a bottom side and a top side. A handle is threaded into an opening on the top side and passed through an opening in the sleeve. The sleeve is formed from sheepskin blanks of a length of the head length and is formed from a sheepskin blank having a width greater than the bottom side of the head. A single blank has opposed longitudinal edges which are sewn together to form the sleeve. A pair of scrap sheepskin blanks cover on the bottom of the head have the opposed longitudinal edges sewn together to form the sleeve. The sewn seam extends outwardly or inwardly into engagement with the head. One end of the sleeve edges may have the end sewn together to again form a closed end. The sleeve is formed of a tanned sheepskin with the nap exposed for engagement with the floor, and the skin engaging the head, and has a reasonably firm fit to the head.

  • Patent number: 5806128
    Abstract: A cleaning tool includes a fleece covering and support structures which both supported by a handle. The fleece material is sewn into a hollow cylinder and then turned inside out. A foam structure surrounds the upper end of the handle as it extends into the hollow fleece cylinder. A foam plug lies within the foam structure and cushions the upper end of the handle against the inside of the fleece material. Near the point of entry of the handle into the foam structure, the fleece material is attached to the handle to hold the cleaning tool together. Various shapes of cleaning tool can be formed with the overall outer shape of the fleece dependent upon both the cutting and sewing of the fleece material, as well as the shape of the supporting foam material.

  • Patent number: 5117529
    Abstract: An elastic sheet having many kinds of shapes is secured upon the surface of a roller so as to form a combination roller which can create a painted pattern when the roller is rotated such that the paint is thrown onto a surface to be painted by means of centrifugal force whereby the spray splashed thereby creates a pattern. A pattern having different thicknesses of paints and widths of lines can thus be created as a unit of a predetermined repetitive pattern.

  • Patent number: 4930179
    Abstract: A decorating tool (1) suitable for creating a broken pattern in e.g. flowable paint, varnish or glazes to simulate for example ragging, sponging and rag-rolling effects. The tool (1) comprises flexible flaps (6a and 6b) attached to a roller (2) so that when the roller (2) is rolled across a coat of paint etc, the flaps (6a, 6b) strike the paint and create the broken pattern. The tool may be used to distress the coating whereupon flaps (6a, b 6b) are preferably made from sheepskin or chamois leather. Also a method for creating a broken pattern by use of the roller (2), especially use of the roller to create a broken pattern in a paint, varnish or glaze containing an additive to retard drying.

  • Patent number: 4858267
    Abstract: An apparatus for wet cleaning in particular window panes includes an elongated carrier for a removable, fur-like cleaning body surrounding said carrier and a shaft-like handle being mounted at said carrier rectangularly thereto. The cleaning body has an outer cover with a longitudinal slot by means of which it can be applied to the carrier. This apparatus is superior as compared with the known apparatuses in that a holder is secured to the front end of the handle which has at each of its ends short threaded pins, two elongated arms being screwed onto the threaded pins which forms, together with the holder, the carrier for the cleaning body which is open at both ends. The longitudinal slot in the outer cover of the cleaning body is associated with the holder and comprises a length corresponding to that of the holder together with a threaded pin.

  • Patent number: 4637089
    Abstract: A rod-shaped member comprises a respective cleaning wick projecting from the member at each of its two ends, the cleaning wicks extending out of a pin-shaped member end at the one end and being guided in a hollow-cylindrically shaped member end at the other and being bent around a free edge of the latter member end. While crushing the projecting wick, the one end can be introduced into socket-shaped LWG plug connector parts and therefore serves for cleaning LWG end faces ending in depressions, whereby, given suitable dimensioning, a pin-shaped LWG plug connector part can be inserted into the hollow-cylindrically fashioned member end and can be turned therein. Thus, a light waveguide end face at the free end of the plug connector part can be cleaned together with and at the same time as the outside surface of the pin-shaped plug connector part with the same tool.
