Optics cleaning apparatus and method

Abstract

An optics cleaning apparatus includes a holder with a first end, a second end and an outer surface where the outer surface encloses an internal reservoir. A fluid applicator is connected with the first end and with the internal reservoir and a scrub pad is connected with the second end.

1 . An optics cleaning apparatus comprising:
 a. a holder with a first end, a second end and outer surface wherein said outer surface encloses an internal reservoir;   b. a fluid applicator connected with said first end and with said internal reservoir; and   c. a scrub pad connected with said second end.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1  further including a fluid applicator cover and a scrub pad cover wherein both covers connect with said holder. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said reservoir further includes an optics cleaner. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1  further including a dust brush connected with said holder. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 4  wherein said dust brush is connected with said second end and said scrub pad connects with said dust brush. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 1  further including a buffing cloth contained within said holder. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 6  wherein said buffing cloth is contained within a cover for said first end or said second end. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 6  wherein said buffing cloth includes a buffing cloth removal device for removing said buffing cloth from said cover. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said second end is removable and said internal reservoir is refillable. 
     
     
         10 . An optics cleaning apparatus comprising:
 a. a holder with a first end, a second end and outer surface wherein said outer surface encloses an internal reservoir and wherein said internal reservoir includes an absorbent cartridge;   b. a fluid applicator connected with said first end and with said internal reservoir and said absorbent cartridge;   c. a scrub pad connected with said second end;   d. a dust brush connected with said holder; and   e. a buffing cloth contained within said holder.   
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 10  further including a fluid applicator cover and a scrub pad cover wherein both covers connect with said holder. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 10  wherein said reservoir further includes an optics cleaner. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus of  claim 10  wherein said dust brush is connected with said second end and said scrub pad connects with said dust brush. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus of  claim 10  wherein said buffing cloth is contained within a cover for said first end or said second end. 
     
     
         15 . The apparatus of  claim 10  wherein said buffing cloth includes a buffing cloth removal device for removing said buffing cloth from said cover. 
     
     
         16 . The apparatus of  claim 10  wherein said second end is removable and said internal reservoir is refillable. 
     
     
         17 . An optics cleaning method comprising:
 a. providing a holder with a first end, a second end and outer surface wherein said outer surface encloses an internal reservoir filled with optics cleaner; a fluid applicator connected with said first end and with said internal reservoir; and a scrub pad connected with said second end;   b. applying said optics cleaner to an optic device with said fluid applicator; and   c. rubbing said optics cleaner on said optic device with said scrub pad.   
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17  wherein said holder includes a buffing cloth and dust brush. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18  further including buffing said optics device with said buffing cloth. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 18  wherein before applying optics cleaner to said optic device said optics device is dusted with said dust brush.
