Abstract

A squeegee frame that has almost snap replaceable blades so they can be easily flipped upside down to increase the life of the blades by 100%. The blades are adjoined to two flexible winglets that prevent fluid and debris from going around the blade in both the forward and backward movement of the squeegee providing the squeegee blades with more efficient use of a bi-directional squeegee.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A squeegee mop or wiper sweep with reversible wiper blade comprising:
 a frame from more or less an extruded shaped cross section having sides and mid frame blade inserts;   a flexible attachment coupling the frame to a sweep handle;   at least one squeegee blade with two sides firmly held in parallel to the frame extruded dimension with inserts and at least two pin or rivet type connectors;   a first blade side snuggly adjacent to the frame and a second blade side snuggly adjacent to a flat plate or strip along the frame cross section extruded dimension, and   the two detachable pin holders perpendicular to and sandwiching the blade between the frame back and plate or strip more or less mid-way on the blade height dimension   
       whereby a blade can be easily edge reversed to use the unworn blade edge for doubling the blade life without extra work in doing the flip. 
     
     
         2 . The squeegee mop or wiper sweep of  claim 1  further comprising affixed winglets affixed to the frame ends. 
     
     
         3 . The squeegee mop or wiper of  claim 2  further comprising attachable angle adjustable winglets coupled to the frame ends. 
     
     
         4 . The squeegee mop or wiper of  claim 1  further wherein the flexible squeegee blade material is essentially made from a set of flexible or semi-flexible material. 
     
     
         5 . The squeegee mop or wiper of  claim 1  further comprising winglets which are uni-directional or bi-directional at adjustable frame centerline to sweep direction angles. 
     
     
         6 . The squeegee mop or wiper of  claim 1  further comprising fasteners from a group of blind fasteners consisting essentially of blind pin, rivets, quick release pins, Ring Detent, Shoulder Detent, Cotterless Clevis, Threaded Detent, Ring, Clevis, Adjustable Clevis, Hitch), Positive Locking, Pop, Spring Loaded, and Swell Latch. 
     
     
         7 . The squeegee mop or wiper sweep of  claim 1  wherein the frame cross section can be a shape from a set of shapes consisting of L, inverted U, T and combinations. 
     
     
         8 . A squeegee mop or wiper sweep with reversible wiper blade comprising:
 a frame from more or less an extruded shaped cross section;   a flexible attachment coupling the frame to a sweep handle;   at least one squeegee blade with two sides firmly held in parallel to the frame extruded dimension with at least two fastener connectors;   a first blade side snuggly adjacent to the frame and a second blade side snuggly adjacent to a flat plate or strip along the frame cross section extruded dimension;   the at least two fastener connectors perpendicular to and sandwiching the blade between the frame back and plate or strip more or less mid-way on the blade height dimension, and   winglets affixed to the frame ends   
       whereby a sweep blade can collect the excess fluid and debris without sweep side spillage.
