Surface cleaner with removable wand
A surface scrubbing device includes a pad base member that has at least one exit port with a connection structure provided on the pad base member. A surface engaging member is attached to the pad member. A storage chamber is provided within the scrubbing pad member with fluid stored therein. The storage chamber being positioned within the pad base member. A user manipulatable valve is provided in communication with the storage chamber so that depression of the button urges fluid the storage chamber through the exit port and to the surface engaging member. A wand is removably connected to the pad member via the connection means to extend the reach of the scrubbing device.
1. A fluid delivery device, comprising:
a housing;
a surface engaging member attached to the housing;
a deformable bladder in the housing with a fluid stored therein;
a flexible metering pump accessible on an exterior of the housing, the flexible metering pump in fluid communication with the deformable bladder;
the flexible metering pump being configured such that actuation of the flexible metering pump urges a metered dose of the fluid from the deformable bladder through an exit port and onto the surface engaging member; and
a wand having a proximal end and a distal end removably attached to the housing at the proximal end via a connection member.
2. The fluid delivery device of claim 1 , further comprising: means attached to the wand for actuating the flexible metering pump.
3. The fluid delivery device of claim 1 , wherein the connection member is a circumferential flange disposed about the pump.
4. The fluid delivery device of claim 1 , wherein the wand is pivotally attached to the connection member.
5. The fluid delivery device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a button on the distal end of the wand, the button configured to deliver a blast of air via a duct to actuate the flexible metering pump.
6. The fluid delivery device of claim 5 , wherein the duct is at least partially the wand.
7. The fluid delivery device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a button on the distal end of the wand for mechanically actuating the flexible metering pump.
8. The fluid delivery device of claim 1 , wherein the surface engaging member is at least partially composed of at least one of cellulose foam, open cell foam, closed cell foam, urethane, and reticulated foam.
9. The fluid delivery device of claim 1 , wherein the flexible metering pump further comprises:
an inner cavity in the flexible metering pump;
a base plate attached to the flexible metering pump, the base plate having a top, a bottom, and a liquid flow aperture, the liquid flow aperture being in fluid communication with the deformable bladder;
a sheet of material attached to the top of the base plate, the sheet of material having a flap formed therein, the flap being located over the liquid flow aperture and having a first position and a second position;
wherein when the flap is in the first position the fluid from the deformable bladder is able to flow into the inner cavity of the flexible metering pump; and
wherein when the flap is in the second position the fluid is prevented from entering the inner cavity of the flexible metering pump.
10. A fluid delivery device, comprising:
a housing;
a surface engaging member attached to the housing;
a deformable bladder in the housing with fluid stored therein;
a flexible metering pump accessible on an exterior of the housing, the flexible metering pump in fluid communication with the deformable bladder;
the flexible metering pump being configured such that actuation of the flexible metering pump urges a metered dose of the fluid from the deformable bladder through an exit port and onto the surface engaging member;
a circumferential flange on the housing disposed about the flexible metering pump;
a wand having a proximal end and a distal end, the wand further having a flexible cup at its proximal end; and
wherein the flexible cup is capable of being stretched over the circumferential flange allowing the wand to be removably attached to the housing at the proximal end.
11. The fluid delivery device of claim 10 , further comprising:
a button on the distal end of the wand, the button configured to deliver a blast of air via a duct to actuate the flexible metering pump.
12. The fluid delivery device of claim 11 , wherein the duct is at least partially the wand.
13. The fluid delivery device of claim 10 , further comprising:
a button on the distal end of the wand for mechanically actuating the flexible metering pump.
14. The fluid delivery device of claim 10 , wherein the surface engaging member is at least partially composed of at least one of cellulose foam, open cell foam, closed cell foam, urethane, and reticulated foam.
15. The fluid delivery device of claim 10 , wherein the flexible metering pump further comprises:
an inner cavity in the flexible metering pump;
a base plate attached to the flexible metering pump, the base plate having a top, a bottom, and a liquid flow aperture, the liquid flow aperture being in fluid communication with the deformable bladder;
a sheet of material attached to the top of the base plate, the sheet of material having a flap formed therein, the flap being located over the liquid flow aperture and having a first position and a second position,
wherein when the flap is in the first position the fluid from the deformable bladder is able to flow into the inner cavity of the flexible metering pump; and
wherein when the flap is in the second position the fluid is prevented from entering the inner cavity of the flexible metering pump.
