The present invention relates to the field of cleaning supplies and accessories and pest control, more specifically, a tool configured for the removal of spider webs.
The telescoping spider web removal brush is a device that eliminates spider webs and spiders. Specifically, as the webs are brushed away a pesticide is applied to the area to eradicate the spiders associated with the web. The telescoping spider web removal brush is comprised of a brush, a pesticide application system and a telescopic wand.
These together with additional objects, features and advantages of the telescoping spider web removal brush will be readily apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art upon reading the following detailed description of the presently preferred, but nonetheless illustrative, embodiments when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
In this respect, before explaining the current embodiments of the telescoping spider web removal brush in detail, it is to be understood that the telescoping spider web removal brush is not limited in its applications to the details of construction and arrangements of the components set forth in the following description or illustration. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the concept of this disclosure may be readily utilized as a basis for the design of other structures, methods, and systems for carrying out the several purposes of the telescoping spider web removal brush.
It is therefore important that the claims be regarded as including such equivalent construction insofar as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the telescoping spider web removal brush. It is also to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein are for purposes of description and should not be regarded as limiting.
The accompanying drawings, which are included to provide a further understanding of the invention are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate an embodiment of the invention and together with the description serve to explain the principles of the invention. They are meant to be exemplary illustrations provided to enable persons skilled in the art to practice the disclosure and are not intended to limit the scope of the appended claims.
In the drawings:
The following detailed description is merely exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the described embodiments of the application and uses of the described embodiments. As used herein, the word “exemplary” or “illustrative” means “serving as an example, instance, or illustration.” Any implementation described herein as “exemplary” or “illustrative” is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other implementations. All of the implementations described below are exemplary implementations provided to enable persons skilled in the art to practice the disclosure and are not intended to limit the scope of the appended claims. Furthermore, there is no intention to be bound by any expressed or implied theory presented in the preceding technical field, background, brief summary or the following detailed description.
As illustrated in
The pesticide dispensing system is comprised of a pesticide container 102, an application button 105, a pump 155, a supply tube 115, a first attachment band 111, a second attachment band 112, and an electrical power source 113.
The pesticide container 102 is adapted to store a pesticide 200 that is used to eradicate spiders. The pesticide container 102 can be refillable or replaceable. Mounted within or near the pesticide container 102 is the 155 pump that is used to pressurize the pesticide 200 into the supply tube 115. The supply tube 115 extends from the pump 155 over to the brush 101. The pump 155 distributes the pesticide 200 using either a first design scenario or a second design scenario. In the first design scenario, the pump 155 is sized to disperse the pesticide 200 as a spray mist that is released as the spider webs are being removed by the brush 101. In the second design scenario, the pesticide 200 is pumped directly into the brush 101, which is then wicked into the brush materials. In the second design scenario, the pesticide 200 is dispersed when the brush 101 contacts the surfaces that support a spider web 300.
The application button 105 is used to provide electrical power from the electrical power source 113 to the pump 155. The application button 105 is an electric switch that completes a circuit between the electrical power source 113 located in a fourth hollow extension rod 109 and the pump 155 located near the pesticide container 102. When the electrical circuit between the electrical power source 113 and the pump 155 is completed, the pump 155 pressurizes the pesticide 200 from the container 102 through the tube 115 for dispersal from or into the brush 101. The pesticide container 102 is attached to a first hollow extension rod 106 using the first attachment band 111 and the second attachment band 112. The first attachment band 111 and second attachment band 112 are small strips of materials that are used to lash the pesticide container 102 to the first hollow extension rod 106. The electrical power source 113 comprises the use of at least one battery. Moreover, a wire 154 extends from the pump 155 to the application button 105, and to the electrical power source 113.
It shall be noted that the application button 105 may manually operate the pump 155 in that the application button 105 may act as an actuating force for a mechanical pump that draws the pesticide 200 into the tube 115. The mechanical version of the pump 155 is well known, and utilizes a spring and valve mechanisms that are commonly used in hand soap dispensers. Moreover, the mechanical version of the pump 155 does not require the use of the electrical power source 113.
The telescopic wand 103 is comprised of a plurality of hollow extension rods 120, a plurality of extensible collars 116, a handgrip 104, and an optional end cap 110.
The plurality of hollow extension rods 120 are arranged in a concentric telescopic arrangement. In this arrangement, an example of which is shown in the first potential embodiment that is illustrated in
Once the plurality of hollow extension rods 120 are placed in their relative position, the plurality of hollow extension rods 120 are held in place using a plurality of extensible collars 116. Each of the plurality of extensible collar 116 is a mechanism that tightens to securely hold two adjacent of the plurality of hollow extension rods 120 in place.
An example of this is shown in the first potential embodiment that is illustrated in
The handgrip 104 allows for the comfort and convenience of the operator. When the electric power source 113 is included, the end cap 110 is provided, and is removable to access the electric power source 113 for maintenance and replacement purposes.
As shown in
Telescopic wands are commercially available. Alternatively, hollow extension rods may be purchased commercially or be made out of several materials including, but not limited to, aluminum, pvc, polyethylene, or polycarbonate. The extensible collars may also be purchased commercially. The brush 101 is a soft bristled brush that can be purchased commercially. Rubberized handgrips and end caps are commercially available.
With respect to the above description, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationship for the various components of the invention described above and in
Is shall be noted that those skilled in the art will readily recognize numerous adaptations and modifications which can be made to the various embodiments of the present invention which will result in an improved invention, yet all of which will fall within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the following claims. Accordingly, the invention is to be limited only by the scope of the following claims and their equivalents.
