Textured cleaning wipe for electronic devices

Abstract

A cleaning wipe with a plurality of stiff triangular or rectangular-cross-sectional projections rising from the surface of a non-woven fabric is designed to clean the nooks and crannies, various crevices and other hard to reach areas of cell phones or other electronic items with a myriad of buttons and/or camera lenses, charger outputs, mouthpieces, ear receivers and keypads which are designed in countless shapes and sizes. The projections, whether in the form of cones, pyramids, length-long ridges or other embodiments are specifically designed to clean the small crevices, the mouthpiece and earpiece and between small buttons such as keypads on a cell phone or other electronic device.

1 . A cleaning wipe for electronic devices comprising:
 (a) a non-woven fabric made from synthetic, natural fibers, or blends thereof;   (b) a plurality of projections on a surface of said fabric, wherein said projections have triangular or rectangular cross sections.   
   
   
       2 . The cleaning wipe of  claim 1  wherein projections on the surface of the fabric have a height between 0.2-5 mm and a base of about 3 mm. 
   
   
       3 . The cleaning wipe of  claim 1  wherein each of the plurality of projections has a pyramidal shape. 
   
   
       4 . The cleaning wipe of  claim 1  wherein each of the plurality of projections has a conical shape. 
   
   
       5 . The cleaning wipe of  claim 1  wherein each of the plurality of projections is continuous without breakage along one length of the cloth. 
   
   
       6 . The cleaning wipe of  claim 1  wherein each of the plurality of projections has a triangular cross section. 
   
   
       7 . The cleaning wipe of  claim 1  wherein each of the plurality of projections has a rectangular cross section. 
   
   
       8 . The cleaning wipe of  claim 1  wherein each of the plurality of the rectangular projections is length long and continuous. 
   
   
       9 . The cleaning wipe of  claim 1  wherein the fabric is made up of 100% split microfiber.
