Abstract:

A window washing tool includes a sponge-like applicator for applying water and cleaning fluid to a window and a resilient squeegee blade in a head portion of the tool. An elongate handle is attached to the head. A rear bar of a pair of hinged blade wiping bars is hingedly attached to the head portion to be moved from a rear retracted position to a forward position. A flexible tube is attached to a front wiping bar and extends along the handle. A knob at a distal end of the tube is operable to move the wiping bars from the rear retracted position to the forward position in which the wiping bars clamp on the edge of the squeegee bar, and to return the wiping bars to the retracted position, thereby absorbing and expressing cleaning fluid to provide a relatively dry squeegee blade for subsequent use.
