Problems solved by technology

But these attempts do not overcome the problem in which the soiled cleaning solution with soluble soil is redeposited on the surface that is intended to be cleaned
[0013] However, none of these attempts in the art have satisfactorily overcome the problem of contamination of target surfaces with dirty liquids
Furthermore, none of these attempts in the art overcome the problem of refreshing the fluid when needed with a single device that does not rely on applicators or recyclable fluid

Embodiment Construction

[0035] see figure 1 and 2 , the present invention may include means 20 for handling the liquid while it is on the target surface. Of course, the skilled artisan will realize that treating the liquid on the target surface may result in simultaneous treatment of the target surface itself. Device 20 may include a head 22 and a handle 24 engaged therewith. The head 22 may have a pressure applying member 26, such as a blade 27, to apply pressure to and thereby treat the target surface.

[0036]Head 22 may include a housing that may serve as a housing for components contained therein. The head 22 may have juxtaposed therewith a blade 27 extending in the widthwise direction. The direction of breadth extends laterally from left to right when the head 22 is held in a horizontal position. Blade 27 extends from a proximal end juxtaposed with and supported by the housing to an opposite distal end. The distal end of the blade 27 contacts the target surface in the absence of an interv...

Abstract

A device for treating a target surface, such as occurs when cleaning a window. The device has a substrate. The substrate has plural, alternating zones. One zone may apply a liquid to the target surface, while the immediately succeeding zone removes the liquid from the target surface. The following plural zones may be used to repeat this process.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to devices that can be used to treat a target surface. The treatment may include applying liquid to and / or removing liquid from the target surface. Background technique [0002] Devices for treating target surfaces are well known in the art. Such devices include squeegees, concrete buoys, dusting mops with renewable surfaces, dusting mops with replaceable surfaces, such as the Swiffer Sweeper sold by the present assignee. [0003] These devices typically have blades or other edges that contact the target surface. The blade can be used to spread the liquid used to treat the target surface or to remove the liquid from the target surface. For example, a squeegee blade can be used to remove cleaning solution and simultaneously remove dirt from windows. [0004] When using a squeegee for this purpose, the user often wipes the blade clean between strokes on the window. This wiping has various disadvantages. First, the blad...
