Benefits of technology

[0007] With only manual, as well as corded machines, available to satisfactorily remove wax and dirt build up from edges of various types of flooring, the embodiment of a cordless edger would decrease not only the time needed to strip and scrub edges of floors, but would greatly reduce the amount

Problems solved by technology

While there are a number of battery-operated cleaning tools, none would be sufficient to perform the specific task of this field of endeavor.
In the field of dc powered cleaning tools, there are many that use detachable rotary discs as well as changeable pad, however, none use an adjustable splash guard, or a reversible motor which is needed for various users.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,289,605 Armbruster, uses a telescoping pole and a hinge, however

Embodiment Construction

[0033] With reference to FIG. 1 the device according to the present invention uses a fixed length pole 8. Prepare the pole by notching out holes both top and bottom to support polarity reverse switch 42 and variable speed switch 45, also drill counter sink holes 43&44 in proper position on the pole. Drill counter sink holes 9 to support battery retaining and supporting bracket 10. At the bottom of the pole drill counter sink holes 28, both left and right side, to support 2 pieces of the female side of the hinge 26. Connect wires to polarity reverse switch 42. Then run them to the bottom of pole 8, to the top of pole 8, and to the notched out hole for the variable speed switch 45.

[0034] Slide polarity reverse switch 42 into place and screw down through counter sink holes 43, then attach wires to the variable speed switch 45, slide into place, and screw down through counter sink holes 44. Starting from top of the pole 8, slide pole grip handle 2 down the pole and into place. Connect ...

Abstract

In the floor cleaning industry to have a battery powered machine that can quickly remove dirt and wax build up from edges of floor would revolutionize the way floors are stripped, scrubbed, and buffed. The splash guard would eliminate any floor cleaning agents from contaminating shelved goods. The unique hinge system allows the brush or pad to travel under stationary objects. With no cord to deal with floor jobs would move along faster with higher quality and less risk of injury. The quick release piece would allow user to switch from brush to pad rapidly not losing valuable time on the job. Current methods of cleaning edges, and hard to get to areas are limited to manual operations. This machine offers a power tool with a rechargeable battery adjustable to both right and left handed users.

Description

FIELD OF INVENTION [0001] This invention relates to cordless, battery operated cleaning mechanisms and more particularly to the stripping, scrubbing, and buffing of edges and hard to reach areas on various types of floors using 18 and 24-volt reversible motor, designed to accommodate both left and right handed users, with adjustable splash guard, and a polarity reverse switch. Changeable heads and hinge motor housing unit, which allows for cleaning of hard to reach areas, such as under stationary tables, benches, and chairs. also, incorporated is a variable speed switch which allows slower speeds which are needed to strip and scrub and higher speeds which are needed for buffing.
