Abstract

A sponge holding system includes a handle that is joined to a paraboloid having a central slot. An attachment fastener is joined to the handle. A sponge is arranged in the paraboloid. A lanyard is attached to the sponge, extending through the central slot, and connected to the attachment fastener. The lanyard holds the sponge in the paraboloid.

Claims (43)

1. A sponge holding system, comprising:

a handle, joined to a paraboloid having a central slot;

a plurality of hooks joined to the handle; wherein the plurality of hooks extend along one side of the handle away from the paraboloid;

a sponge, arranged in the paraboloid;

a lanyard, attached to the sponge, extending through the central slot, and connected to at least one of the plurality of hooks;

wherein the lanyard holds the sponge in the paraboloid.

2. The sponge holding system of claim 1 , wherein the handle further comprises a first side handle support and a second side handle support, attached to the handle and the paraboloid.

3. The sponge holding system of claim 2 , wherein the handle further comprises a first rear side handle support and a second rear side handle support, attached to the handle distant the paraboloid, the first side handle support and the second side handle support.

4. The sponge holding system of claim 1 , wherein the handle further comprises a proximal portion joined to the paraboloid proximate the central slot wherein the plurality of hooks is arranged on the proximal portion.

5. The sponge holding system of claim 4 , further comprising an intermediate portion extending distally from the proximal portion and having an increasing cross-sectional area while extending distally from the proximal portion.

6. The sponge holding system of claim 5 , further comprising a distal portion extending distally from the intermediate portion and having a finger grip portion on an underside of the distal portion.

7. The sponge holding system of claim 6 , further comprising a lanyard connected to a distal portion opening arranged in the distal portion.

8. The sponge holding system of claim 6 ,

wherein the proximal portion is arranged on a proximal portion axis;

wherein the intermediate portion is arranged on an intermediate portion axis;

wherein the distal portion is arranged on a distal portion axis; and

wherein the proximal portion axis is approximately parallel to the distal portion axis.

9. The sponge holding system of claim 8 ,

wherein a first angle is measured counterclockwise from the proximal portion axis to the intermediate portion axis;

wherein a second angle is measured counterclockwise from the distal portion axis to the intermediate portion axis;

wherein the first angle is approximately equal to the second angle.

10. The sponge holding system of claim 9 , wherein the first angle is at least 30 degrees but no more than 60 degrees.

11. A sponge holding system, comprising:

a handle, joined to a paraboloid having a central slot; wherein the handle further comprises a first side handle support and a second side handle support, attached to the handle and the paraboloid

an attachment fastener joined to the handle;

a sponge, arranged in the paraboloid;

a lanyard, attached to the sponge, extending through the central slot, and connected to the attachment fastener;

wherein the lanyard holds the sponge in the paraboloid.

12. The sponge holding system of claim 11 , wherein the handle further comprises a first rear side handle support and a second rear side handle support, attached to the handle distant the paraboloid, the first side handle support and the second side handle support.

13. A sponge holding system, comprising:

a handle, joined to a paraboloid having a central slot; wherein the handle further comprises a proximal portion joined to the paraboloid proximate the central slot; wherein the proximal portion is arranged on a proximal portion axis;

an intermediate portion extending distally from the proximal portion and having an increasing cross-sectional area while extending distally from the proximal portion; wherein the intermediate portion is arranged on an intermediate portion axis;

a distal portion extending distally from the intermediate portion and having a finger grip portion on an underside of the distal portion; wherein the distal portion is arranged on a distal portion axis; wherein the proximal portion axis is approximately parallel to the distal portion axis

a distal portion extending distally from the intermediate portion and having a finger grip portion on an underside of the distal portion;

an attachment fastener joined to the handle; wherein the attachment fastener is arranged on the proximal portion;

a sponge, arranged in the paraboloid;

a lanyard, attached to the sponge, extending through the central slot, and connected to the attachment fastener;

wherein the lanyard holds the sponge in the paraboloid.

14. The sponge holding system of claim 13 ,

wherein a first angle is measured counterclockwise from the proximal portion axis to the intermediate portion axis;

wherein a second angle is measured counterclockwise from the distal portion axis to the intermediate portion axis;

wherein the first angle is approximately equal to the second angle.

15. The sponge holding system of claim 14 , wherein the first angle is at least 30 degrees but no more than 60 degrees.
