Abstract

A rotatable cleaning assembly comprising an elongated adjustable frame structure having a handle member on one end and a rotatable structure on the opposite end. An adhesive roll comprised of a tubular core having a wound length of flexible material with an outer adhesive surface is mounted on the rotatable structure. The length of flexible material is serially segmented portions by tear lines. Non adhesive areas are positioned covering the tear lines for segment identification and removal.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
That which is claimed is:  
     
         1 . An adhesive roll cleaning assembly comprising: 
 a) a tubular core member having a circumference;    b) a length of flexible material wound around said tubular core member, said length of flexible material having an adhesive outer side, a bottom side and two opposing edges;    c) a plurality of serially spaced perforations extending between said opposing edges at predetermined segments along said length of flexible material, said predetermined segments having a length at least the circumference of said tubular core member;    d) at least one non-adhesive area located on said adhesive outer side of said length of flexible material, said at least one non-adhesive area extending to adjacent segments outward from both sides of each of said plurality of perforations along said length of flexible material; and    e) means to secure said tubular core member for rotation.    
     
     
         2 . The adhesive roll cleaning assembly of  claim 1 , wherein said means to secure said tubular core member for rotation is a frame structure having a first end and a second end and wherein a handle member is attached to the first end and wherein a rotatable member for receiving said tubular core member is attached to said second end.  
     
     
         3 . The adhesive roll assembly of  claim 2 , wherein an extension member is provided for attachment to said handle member.  
     
     
         4 . The adhesive roll cleaning assembly of  claim 1 , wherein said flexible material is selected from the group of materials consisting of cellophane, mylar, plastic and paper and wherein said tubular core member is made of a material selected from the group of materials consisting of cardboard and plastic.  
     
     
         5 . The adhesive roll cleaning assembly of  claim 1 , wherein said length of said predetermined segments is approximately the circumference of a full roll having said tubular core member with said length of flexible material wound there-about.  
     
     
         6 . A rotatable cleaning assembly comprising: 
 a) an elongated frame structure having a first end and a second end;    b) a handle structure attached to said first end;    c) a rotatable structure attached to said second end, said rotatable structure constructed and arranged to receive a core member having a predetermined circumference; and    d) a length of flexible material having an adhesive outer surface and being wound about said core member, wherein said length of flexible material is further comprised of a plurality of serially separable segments of flexible material and wherein the length of each said serially separable segment is generally the same or greater than said predetermmined circumference of said core member.    
     
     
         7 . The assembly of  claim 6 , wherein said serially separable segments are defined by tear lines extending across said length of flexible material, and wherein at least one non-adhesive portion is located along said tear lines and extending into the adjacent serially separable segments of flexible material.  
     
     
         8 . The assembly of  claim 7 , wherein a plurality of non-adhesive portions are provided on said tear lines and wherein one non-adhesive portion is positioned on each edge of said separable segments.  
     
     
         9 . The assembly of  claim 6 , wherein said length of flexible material is made from the group of materials consisting of cellophane, mylar, plastic and paper.  
     
     
         10 . The assembly of  claim 6 , wherein said elongated frame structure is comprised of a bent frame elongated metal structure and wherein said handle structure has means to receive an extension member and wherein an extension member is attached to said means to receive said handle structure.  
     
     
         11 . The assembly of  claim 6 , wherein said rotatable structure is further comprised of a plurality of spaced generally triangular support members and wherein said plurality of generally triangular support members further include longitudinal support members interconnecting said generally triangular spaced support members.  
     
     
         12 . The assembly of  claim 6 , wherein at least one locking cap is provided configured to secure said rotatable structure to said elongated frame structure.  
     
     
         13 . The assembly of  claim 6 , wherein said elongated frame structure is approximately 0.75 cm in diameter and wherein said core member is approximately 7.5 cm in diameter and 23 cm in length.  
     
     
         14 . A cleaning roller assembly comprising: 
 a) a plurality of serially attached flexible sheets constructed and arranged to form a length of separable cleaning devices having an adhesive outer side for collecting debris, each said serially attached flexible sheet having a top and a bottom, said top and bottom defined by perforations located at predetermined locations along said length of separable cleaning devices,    b) at least one non-adhesive area located along said perforations and extending from said bottom of one said sheet into said top of an adjacent flexible sheet;    c) a roll member for holding and receiving said length of separable cleaning devices, said roll member having a specified circumference, wherein said predetermined locations of said perforations are spaced at intervals generally the same length as or greater than said specified circumference of said roll member; and    d) a frame structure having a means to receive and secure said roll member for rotation and further having an elongated handle member extending from said means to receive and secure.    
     
     
         15 . The cleaning roller assembly of  claim 14 , wherein said length of cleaning separable devices is provided in a spiral roll for use.  
     
     
         16 . The cleaning roller assembly of  claim 14 , wherein an extension member is attached to said bent rod member.  
     
     
         17 . The cleaning roller assembly of  claim 14 , wherein said plurality of serially attached cleaning devices is made of a material selected from the group consisting of cellophane, mylar, plastic and paper.  
     
     
         18 . The cleaning roller assembly of  claim 14 , wherein said roll member is made of a material selected from the group consisting of cardboard and plastic.  
     
     
         19 . The cleaning roller assembly of  claim 14 , wherein said cleaning roller assembly is renewed for reuse by detaching a cleaning device along said perforations.  
     
     
         20 . A rotating cleaning device comprising: 
 a) an adjustable frame member having a bottom end for holding a rotatable member, said rotatable member being constructed and arranged to receive a cylinder; and    b) a cylindrical roll for positioning on said rotatable member, said cylindrical roll comprising a length of flexible material having an adhesive outer surface, said length of flexible material having spaced perforations along said length, thereby forming segments, said segments each having a length generally the circumference of said cylindrical roll, said spaced perforated segments being defined by a perforated line extending across the width of said length of flexible material and having a plurality of non-adhesive areas extending over said perforated lines, one said non-adhesive means being positioned on the edge of each said segment and covering said perforated.
