Cleaning device

Abstract

The cleaning device is a device made up of a handle, connector, paddle, and a cover surrounding the paddle. Together, it can be used to clean between double pane windows. An operator may put the cover on the paddle, pull the cover straps over the paddle, and, grabbing the handle, place the device between the double pane windows. The operator may stroke the device in an upward, downward, or side-to-side motion to clean the window surfaces. Lastly, the paddle on the cleaning device has little hemispherical protrusions that stick out on one side of the paddle in order to grip the cover. The protrusions help the cover clean the window surfaces. The cleaning device includes a handle and a connector with a first end portion having an angled portion and a straight second end portion attachable to the handle. The cleaning device includes a paddle with a flat plane, a front side, a back side, a proximal end, a distal end, a left side and a right side where that paddle is attached to the angled portion of the first end portion at the proximal end.

         2 . The cleaning device of  claim 1 , wherein the paddle is flexible such that the paddle conforms to a cleaning surface when the paddle is pressed against the cleaning surface. 
     
     
         3 . The cleaning device of  claim 1 , wherein the angled portion translates the flat plane of the paddle away from an axis that travels through the straight second end portion in a direction orthogonal to the front side of the paddle. 
     
     
         4 . The cleaning device of  claim 1 , wherein the angled portion is flexible such that the paddle conforms to a cleaning surface when an end of the paddle is pressed against the cleaning surface. 
     
     
         5 . The cleaning device of  claim 4 , wherein the angled portion is rigid in a rotation axis that is orthogonal to the flat plane of the paddle such that the paddle does not rotate toward the left side or the right side when the paddle is moved in a side-to-side motion. 
     
     
         6 . The cleaning device of  claim 1 , wherein the connector and paddle together have a thickness of less than between about ⅛ inch and ½ inch in an axis that is orthogonal to the flat plane of the paddle. 
     
     
         7 . The cleaning device of  claim 1 , wherein the front side of the paddle contains one or more protrusions, the one or more protrusions configured to concentrate pressure on a cleaning surface when the paddle is pressed against the cleaning surface in a concentrated area that is smaller than an area of the flat plane of the paddle. 
     
     
         8 . A cleaning device comprising:
 a connector with a first end portion having an angled portion and a straight second end portion;   a paddle with a flat plane, a front side, a back side, a proximal end, a distal end, a left side and a right side; and   the paddle attached to the angled portion of the first end portion at the proximal end.   
     
     
         9 . The cleaning device of  claim 8 , further comprising
 an attachable cleaning cover that has a flat plane shape with a front side and a back side;   wherein the cleaning cover envelopes the paddle;   wherein the cleaning cover has a first set of protrusions on the front side of the cleaning cover;   wherein the cleaning cover has second set of protrusions on the back side of the cleaning cover; and   wherein the first set of protrusions and the second set of protrusions are unequal in at least one of their size, shape, or pattern.   
     
     
         10 . The cleaning device of  claim 9 , wherein:
 the connector and paddle together have a thickness of less than between about ⅛ inch and ½ inch in an axis that is orthogonal to the flat plane of the paddle;   the angled portion translates the flat plane of the paddle away from an axis that travels through the straight second end portion in a direction orthogonal to the front side of the paddle; and   the angled portion is flexible such that the paddle conforms to a cleaning surface when an end of the paddle is pressed against the cleaning surface.   
     
     
         11 . A cleaning device comprising:
 a connector with a first end portion having an angled portion and a straight second end portion attachable to a handle;   a paddle with a flat front side with one or more protrusions, a back side, a proximal end attached to the angled portion, a distal end, a left side and a right side; and   a cleaning cover that covers the flat front side of the paddle.   
     
     
         12 . The cleaning device of  claim 11 , wherein the paddle is flexible such that it conforms to a cleaning surface when the paddle is pressed against the cleaning surface. 
     
     
         13 . The cleaning device of  claim 11 , wherein the angled portion translates the paddle away from an axis that travels through the straight second end portion in a direction orthogonal to the front side of the paddle. 
     
     
         14 . The cleaning device of  claim 11 , wherein the angled portion is flexible such that the paddle conforms to a cleaning surface when an end of the paddle is pressed against the cleaning surface. 
     
     
         15 . The cleaning device of  claim 14 , wherein the angled portion is rigid in a rotation axis that is orthogonal to the flat plane of the paddle such that the paddle does not rotate toward the left side or the right side when the paddle is moved in a side-to-side motion. 
     
     
         16 . The cleaning device of  claim 11 , wherein the device has a thickness of less than between about ⅛ inch and ½ inch in an axis that is orthogonal to the front side of the paddle. 
     
     
         17 . The cleaning device of  claim 11 , wherein the one or more protrusions are configured to concentrate pressure on a cleaning surface, when the paddle is pressed against the cleaning surface, in a concentrated area that is smaller than an area of the front side of the paddle. 
     
     
         18 . The cleaning device of  claim 17 , wherein:
