Power driven duster and cleaner apparatus
An improved hand held apparatus used for dusting, cleaning, polishing, and similar tasks utilizing a lightweight conventional power drill having a rotating axle with a chuck to which is attached two or more elongated extension members telescoped within one another forming a gap between adjacent extension members into which at least one band fitted about one of the elongated extension member is positioned to reduce wobble in the adjacent extension member when the axle of the power drill causes the first extension member to rotate.
1. A hand held apparatus having a first elongated tubular extension member operatively attachable at one end to a motor to cause the first elongated tubular extension member to rotate, a hand guide member constructed to fit about and to slide along the first elongated tubular extension member; and a dusting member operatively attachable to an opposite end of the first elongated extension member, the dusting member rotating with the first elongated extension member, the improvement to which comprises:
a. a second elongated tubular extension member with a first and second end, the first end sized to telescope in and out of the first elongated tubular extension member, the second end attached to the dusting member to rotate with the first elongated extension member, wherein a gap is formed between overlapping sections of the first and second elongated tubular members; and
b. a first band snugly fitted about the first end of the second elongated tubular extension member and sized to permit the first band to fit into the gap, the first band providing stability to the second extension member with respect to the first extension member to reduce wobble in the second extension member when the motor causes the first extension member to rotate.
2. The hand held apparatus according to claim 1 further comprising, an affixing member structured to fit about the first elongated tubular extension member and the second elongated tubular extension member to affix the first elongated tubular extension member to the second elongated tubular extension member; the affixing member having a shoulder section extending into the gap to form a stop allowing the second elongated tubular extension member to extend from the first elongated tubular extension member no more than a predetermined distance.
3. The hand held apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a second band snugly fitted on the first end of the second elongated extension member, sized to permit the second band to fit into the gap and be spaced apart from the first band, the first band and the second band providing stability to the second extension member with respect to the first extension member to reduce wobble in the second extension member when the motor causes the first extension member to rotate.
4. The hand held apparatus according to claim 3 wherein the second band is spaced apart from the first band about 2-4 inches.
5. The hand held apparatus according to claim 3 wherein the first band and the second band are constructed from a resilient material.
6. The hand held apparatus according to claim 1 having more than two bands snuggly fitted on the first end of the second elongated extension member, each band spaced apart from any adjacent band by about 2-4 inches and sized to permit each band to fit into the gap providing stability to the second extension member with respect to the first extension member to reduce wobble in the second extension member when the motor causes the first extension member to rotate.
7. The hand held apparatus according to claim 6 further comprising, an affixing member structured to fit about the first elongated tubular extension member and the second elongated tubular extension member to affix the first elongated tubular extension member to the second elongated tubular extension member; the affixing member having a shoulder section extending into the gap to form a stop allowing the second elongated tubular extension member to extend from the first elongated tubular extension member no more than a predetermined distance.
