Field of the Disclosure
The disclosure relates to cleaning devices and more particularly pertains to a new cleaning device for cleaning a surface.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a cleaning glove having a planar face. The planar face has a palm portion and digit portions extending from the palm portion. A peripheral wall of the cleaning glove extends from a peripheral edge of the planar face. A taper portion of the peripheral wall extends between a main portion and the peripheral edge. The main portion is perpendicular to the planar face. An adhesive layer covers the planar face to have debris adhered to the planar face by the adhesive layer when the cleaning glove is pressed against and removed from a surface.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
As best illustrated in
The cleaning glove 12 includes a peripheral wall 34 coupled to and extending from a peripheral edge 36 of the planar face 14. The peripheral wall 34 has a main portion 38 and a taper portion 40. The taper portion 40 extends between the main portion 38 and the peripheral edge 36 of the planar face 14. The main portion 38 is perpendicular to the planar face 14. The cleaning glove 12 has a bottom end 42 which is open wherein the cleaning glove 12 is configured for receiving a hand into the cleaning glove 12 through the bottom end 42.
An adhesive layer 44 is positioned on and covers the planar face 14 wherein the cleaning glove 12 is configured to have debris adhered to the planar face 14 by the adhesive layer 44 when the cleaning glove 12 is pressed against and removed from a surface. The adhesive layer 44 completely covers the planar face 14. A cover 46 is planar and removably positioned on and covers the adhesive layer 44. A tab 48 is coupled to an interiorly facing surface 56 of the cover 46 which abuts the adhesive layer 44. The tab 48 extends outwardly from the cover 46 substantially perpendicular to the peripheral wall 34. Thus, the tab 48 is configured to facilitate being grasped for removal of the cover 46 to expose the adhesive layer 44. The tab 48 extends from an edge 50 of the cover 46 such that the tab 48 is parallel with the cover 46. The tab 48 is elongated having parallel opposite edges 52 and a convexly arcuate end section 54. The tab 48 is positioned adjacent to the thumb portion 26 of the planar face 14.
The cleaning glove 12 may be symmetrical about a plane extending through the main portion 40 of the peripheral wall 34 parallel to the planar face 14 allowing respective adhesive layers on each side of the cleaning glove 12 and orientation for use on either hand depending on which adhesive layer is exposed. Alternatively, one cleaning glove 12 may be used sequentially on one and then the other of a left hand and a right hand exposing the corresponding adhesive layer 44 as needed for use with each hand.
In use, the cleaning glove 12 is worn on a selected hand and the adhesive layer 44 exposed. The cleaning glove 12 is then used to remove debris by pressing the planar face 14 against a surface to be cleaned. The cleaning glove 12 is disposable after use.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
This application is a continuation in part of application Ser. No. 14/551,822 filed Nov. 24, 2014, abandoned as of Dec. 26, 2016.
