Glass cleaning device

1. A glass cleaning device, comprising:

a handle having a distal portion and a proximal portion, the proximal portion pivotally coupled to the distal portion so that the proximal portion can pivot between an extended position and a folded position;

a spray head having a nozzle in fluid communication with a fluid reservoir, the fluid reservoir being disposed with the proximal portion of the handle and the nozzle being pivotably coupled to the distal portion of the handle;

a button to activate and expel a cleaning solution from the nozzle, the button being disposed on the proximal portion of the handle; and

a plate coupled to the spray head, the nozzle being spaced from the plate and being angled such that the cleaning solution is expelled from the nozzle onto a treatment surface in an area laterally adjacent to the plate.

2. The glass cleaning device of claim 1 , further comprising a joint at which the proximal portion and the distal portion are pivotally coupled.

3. The glass cleaning device of claim 2 , wherein the joint includes an axle and a locking pin, the locking pin being receivable in an opening to provide releasable locking of the handle in the extended position.

4. The glass cleaning device of claim 2 , further comprising a flexible conduit extending through the handle from the fluid reservoir to the spray head, the flexible conduit including a lumen to provide the fluid communication between the nozzle and the fluid reservoir.

5. The glass cleaning device of claim 4 , wherein the handle includes a plurality of retaining members configured to secure and position the flexible conduit in the handle.

6. The glass cleaning device of claim 4 , further comprising a reinforcing member disposed in the lumen of the flexible conduit adjacent to the joint to prevent the lumen from collapsing when the handle is in the folded position.

7. The glass cleaning device of claim 6 , wherein the reinforcing member includes a spring.

8. The glass cleaning device of claim 1 , wherein the plate is rotatably coupled to the spray head.

9. The glass cleaning device of claim 8 , wherein the spray head includes at least one recess and the plate includes a spring-biased projection that engages with the at least one recess to allow the plate to be releasably secured, relative to the spray head, in a plurality of positions.

10. A glass cleaning device, comprising:

a handle including a linkage providing a pivoting connection between a distal portion of the handle and a proximal portion of the handle, the pivoting connection allowing the distal portion to be pivoted relative to the proximal portion between an extended position and a folded position;

a nozzle;

a fluid reservoir;

a flexible conduit having a lumen extending through the handle to provide fluid communication between the nozzle and the fluid reservoir;

a reinforcing member disposed within the lumen adjacent to the linkage to prevent the lumen from collapsing when the handle is in the folded position;

a button to activate and expel a cleaning solution from the nozzle disposed on the proximal portion of the handle; and,

a plate coupled to the nozzle, the nozzle being spaced from the plate and being angled such that the cleaning solution is expelled from the nozzle onto a treatment surface in an area laterally adjacent to the plate.

11. The glass cleaning device of claim 10 , wherein the linkage includes an axle and a locking pin.

12. The glass cleaning device of claim 11 , wherein, in the extended position, the locking pin is received in an opening to releasably secure the handle in the extended position.

13. The glass cleaning device of claim 12 , wherein the locking pin is depressable to disengage the locking pin from the opening to allow the proximal portion to pivot about the axle relative to the distal portion.

14. The glass cleaning device of claim 10 , wherein the a plate is designed and dimensioned to receive a cleaning accessory.

15. The glass cleaning device of claim 14 , further comprising a spray head, wherein the plate is rotatably coupled to the spray head.

16. The glass cleaning device of claim 15 , wherein the spray head includes at least one recess and the plate includes a spring-biased projection that engages with the at least one recess to allow the plate to be releasably secured, relative to the spray head, in a plurality of positions.

17. The glass cleaning device of claim 10 , wherein the reinforcing member includes a spring.

18. The glass cleaning device of claim 10 , wherein the nozzle is positioned such that upon activation of the nozzle via the button, liquid contained within the fluid reservoir is urged to an area adjacent the plate.

19. The glass cleaning device of claim 10 , wherein the handle includes a plurality of retaining members configured to secure and position the flexible conduit in the handle.
