Dual cleaning apparatus

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a cleaning apparatus providing a user with the ability to perform two cleaning functions with the same apparatus. According to one aspect of the present disclosure the cleaning apparatus includes an elongated body portion having first and second ends, a first tip integral with the first operative end, the first tip including a first solution for performing a first cleaning function on the electronic equipment, and a second tip integral with the second operative end, the second tip including a second solution to the second operative end for performing a second cleaning function on the electronic equipment.

1 . A dual cleaning apparatus for electronic equipment, comprising:
 an elongated body portion having first and second ends and first and second body sections;   a first tip in mechanical engagement with the first operative end, the first tip including a first solution for performing a first cleaning function on the electronic equipment; and   a second tip in mechanical engagement with the second operative end, the second tip including a second solution for performing a second cleaning function on the electronic equipment;   wherein said second body section is telescopically extendable relative to said first body section such that said body portion is selectively extendable from a first fully retracted position having a first length to at least one extended position having a second length.   
   
   
       2 . The dual cleaning apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the elongated body portion is hollow and defines a pair of first and second reservoirs, said first reservoir in fluid connection with said first tip and said second reservoir in fluid communication with said second tip. 
   
   
       3 . The dual cleaning apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein said elongated body portion includes at least one port formed therein, which ports are in fluid communication with a respective one of each of said first and second reservoirs. 
   
   
       4 . The dual cleaning apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein the first reservoir contains said first solution and the second reservoir contains said second solution. 
   
   
       5 . The dual cleaning apparatus according to  claim 4 , wherein at least one of said first and second solutions is communicated to a respective first and second tip in a wick-like fashion. 
   
   
       6 . The dual cleaning apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein said first solution is an alcohol-based solution. 
   
   
       7 . The dual cleaning apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein said second solution is a non-alcohol-based solution. 
   
   
       8 . The dual cleaning apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein said first solution is isopropyl alcohol. 
   
   
       9 . The dual cleaning apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein said second solution is a citric-based solution. 
   
   
       10 . The dual cleaning apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein at least one of the first and second tips is an abrasive structure. 
   
   
       11 . The dual cleaning apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the geometrical configuration of said first tip is different than the geometrical configuration of said second tip. 
   
   
       12 . The dual cleaning apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one of said first and second tips includes a series of bristles which form a brush-like tip. 
   
   
       13 . The dual cleaning apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one of said first and second tips is selectively detachable from its respective first and second end. 
   
   
       14 . The dual cleaning apparatus according to  claim 13 , wherein said at least one of said selectively detachable tips is selectively interchangeable with an additional tip having at least one of a different geometrical configuration, different porosity, different abrasiveness and amount of bristles. 
   
   
       15 . The dual cleaning apparatus according to  claim 2 , further including an absorbent batting disposed within at least one of said first and second reservoirs. 
   
   
       16 . A cleaning kit for electronic components, comprising:
 a container; and   an elongated body portion having first and second ends and first and second body sections, each of said ends configured to mechanically engage one of a plurality of interchangeable cleaning tips, at least one of said interchangeable cleaning tips including a reservoir for holding a cleaning solution and a working end for applying said cleaning solution to the electronic component; and   wherein said second body section is telescopically extendable relative to said first body section such that said body portion is selectively extendable from a first fully retracted position having a first length to at least one extended position having a second length.   
   
   
       17 . A dual cleaning apparatus for electronic equipment, comprising:
 an elongated body portion having first and second ends and first and second body sections;   a first tip connected to the first operative end; and   a second tip connected to the second operative end; and   wherein each of said first and second tips is selectively attachable to the elongated body portion and includes its own cleaning solution therewith and wherein said second body section is telescopically extendable relative to said first body section such that said body portion is selectively extendable from a first fully retracted position having a first length to at least one extended position having a second length.
