Toilet cleaning device and method of cleaning a toilet
View Patent ↗The present invention relates to a toilet cleaning device which comprises a handle, and a cleaning head, where the handle comprises an elongate shaft with opposite first and second ends and a longitudinal axis. The cleaning head comprises an upper surface, which connects to the second end of the handle, a lower surface opposite to the handle, and a lower rim which defines a plane, where the longitudinal axis of the elongate shaft forms an acute angle with the plane of the cleaning head, and wherein the lower surface comprises a cavity surrounded by a flange, on which flange the lower rim is defined.
1. A toilet cleaning device, comprising:
a handle; and
a cleaning head;
said handle comprising an elongate shaft with opposite first and second ends, and a longitudinal axis;
said cleaning head comprising
an upper surface connecting to said second end of said handle,
a lower surface opposite to said handle,
a transition-portion forming a transition between said handle and the upper surface of said cleaning head; and
a flange extending outward from said transition portion;
said lower surface comprising an outer perimeter, said outer perimeter defining a plane,
said longitudinal axis of said elongate shaft, forming an acute angle with said plane,
wherein a cavity is formed in at least part of said lower surface of said cleaning head within said outer perimeter; and
wherein one nor more ribs are formed on said lower surface of said cavity.
2. The toilet cleaning device according to claim 1 , wherein said cleaning head has a flat, elongate shape with a first longitudinal axis, said first longitudinal axis being parallel with both said plane defined by said perimeter, and said longitudinal axis of said shaft, and wherein said ribs intersect said-first longitudinal axis of said head.
3. The toilet cleaning device according to claim 1 , wherein said one or more ribs are V shaped.
4. A toilet cleaning device, comprising:
a handle; and
a cleaning head;
said handle comprising an elongate shaft with opposite first and second ends, and a longitudinal axis;
said cleaning head comprising
an upper surface connecting to said second end of said handle,
a lower surface opposite to said handle,
a transition-portion forming a transition between said handle and the upper surface of said cleaning head; and
a flange extending outward from said transition portion;
said lower surface comprising an outer perimeter, said outer perimeter defining a plane,
said longitudinal axis of said elongate shaft, forming an acute angle with said plane,
wherein a cavity is formed in at least part of said lower surface of said cleaning head within said outer perimeter; and
wherein a scrubbing knob is formed on an upper surface of said flange, said scrubbing knob extending from said upper surface in a direction perpendicular to said plane, and in a direction towards said handle.
5. The toilet cleaning device, according to claim 4 , wherein the knob is formed in a position on said flange between said handle and said flange where said handle forms said acute angle with said plane of said cleaning head.
6. A toilet cleaning device, comprising:
a handle; and
a cleaning head;
said handle comprising an elongate shaft with opposite first and second ends, and a longitudinal axis;
said cleaning head comprising
an upper surface connecting to said second end of said handle,
a lower surface opposite to said handle,
a transition-portion forming a transition between said handle and the upper surface of said cleaning head; and
a flange extending outward from said transition portion;
said lower surface comprising an outer perimeter, said outer perimeter defining a plane,
said longitudinal axis of said elongate shaft, forming an acute angle with said plane,
wherein a cavity is formed in at least part of said lower surface of said cleaning head within said outer perimeter; and
wherein one or more slits are formed in an edge of said flange.
