Abstract

An apparatus comprises a clamp head comprising a handle member, a spring handle clamp being removably joined to the handle member, and a first coupler being removably joined to the handle member. The spring handle clamp comprises a coil base being configured to slide over the handle member and two clamp handles extending outwardly from the coil base. Each of the clamp handles terminates in a clamp head. The clamp heads are interlocked and configured for holding a cleaning item in a normally closed position with the clamp heads moved to an open position by squeezing the two clamp handles together. A utility handle comprises a second coupler being removably joined to the first coupler, and a contoured grip, in which the apparatus may be assembled by a user for holding the cleaning item to clean their posterior and subsequently disassembled for cleaning and transportation.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An apparatus comprising:
 a clamp head comprising a handle member, a spring handle clamp being configured for removably joining to said handle member, and a first coupler being configured for removably joining to said handle member, said spring handle clamp comprising a coil base being configured to slide over said handle member and two clamp handles extending outwardly from said coil base, each of said clamp handles terminating in a clamp head, said clamp heads being interlocked and configured for holding a cleaning item in a normally closed position with said clamp heads moved to an open position by squeezing said two clamp handles together; and   a utility handle comprising a second coupler being configured for removably joining to said first coupler, and a contoured grip, in which the apparatus may be assembled by a user for holding the cleaning item to clean their posterior and subsequently disassembled for cleaning and transportation.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 1 , further comprising an extension handle being configured for extending a length of the apparatus, said extension handle comprising a third coupler being configured for removably joining to said first coupler, and a fourth coupler being configured for removably joining to said second coupler. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 1 , in which said clamp heads comprise a gripping material for gripping the cleaning item. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 1 , in which said spring handle clamp comprises spring tempered stainless steel wire. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 4 , in which said clamp heads are formed from bending said wire into a triangular shape. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 1 , in which said first coupler and said second coupler comprise screw threads for joining 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 1 , in which said handle member and said utility handle are tubular. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 7 , in which said handle member and said utility handle comprise PVC tubing. 
     
     
         9 . An apparatus comprising:
 a clamp head comprising a handle member, means for holding a cleaning item, said holding means being configured for removably joining to said handle member, and first means for coupling, said first coupling means being configured for removably joining to said handle member; and   a utility handle comprising second means for coupling, said second coupling means being configured for removably joining to said first coupling means, and means for gripping said utility handle, in which the apparatus may be assembled by a user for holding the cleaning item to clean their posterior and subsequently disassembled for cleaning and transportation.   
     
     
         10 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 9 , further comprising means for extending a length of the apparatus, said extending means being configured for removably joining to said first coupling means and said second coupling means. 
     
     
         11 . An apparatus comprising:
 a clamp head comprising a threaded axis nipple comprising a first end and a second end, a female threaded end cap being configured to be removably joined to said first end, a first flexible washer being configured to slide over said threaded axis nipple and abut said female end cap joined to said threaded axis nipple, a spring handle clamp being configured to firmly slide over said threaded axis nipple and abut said first flexible washer abutting said female end cap, a second flexible washer being configured to slide over said threaded axis nipple and abut said spring handle clamp abutting said first flexible washer, and a first female threaded coupler being configured to be removably joined to said second end and tighten said second washer, spring handle clamp and first washer against said female threaded end cap for mitigating rotation of said spring handle clamp about said threaded axis nipple, said spring handle clamp comprising spring tempered stainless steel wire formed into a coil base being configured to slide over said threaded axis nipple, two clamp handles extending outwardly from said coil base, and a triangular shaped clamp head on each clamp handle, said triangular shaped clamp heads being interlocked and configured for holding a cleaning item in a normally closed position with said triangular shaped clamp heads moved to an open position by squeezing said two clamp handles together; and   a utility handle comprising a handle member, a second coupler being joined to said handle member, and a contoured grip being joined to said handle member, said second coupler being configured for removably joining to said first female threaded coupler, in which the apparatus may be assembled by a user for holding the cleaning item to clean their posterior and subsequently disassembled for cleaning and transportation.   
     
     
         12 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 11 , further comprising an extension handle being configured for extending a length of the apparatus, said extension handle comprising a third coupler being configured for removably joining to said first female threaded coupler, and a fourth coupler being configured for removably joining to said second coupler. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 11 , in which said triangular shaped clamp heads comprise a gripping material for gripping the cleaning item. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 11 , in which said first coupler and said second coupler comprise screw threads for joining 
     
     
         15 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 11 , in which said handle member and said utility handle are tubular. 
     
     
         16 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 15 , in which said handle member and said utility handle comprise PVC tubing.
