Claim Text:
1. A modular cleaning device comprising: a handle assembly including a container, a dispensing element, a cleaning element, a push-button actuator disposed at one end of the handle assembly, a rod disposed in the handle assembly, and a valve disposed in the handle assembly operably engaging an end of the rod, the valve including a piston normally urged to cover an opening formed within the handle assembly providing fluid communication between the container and the dispensing element, the push-button actuator configured to urge the piston away from the opening of the handle assembly to provide fluid communication between the container and the dispensing element when the push-button actuator is pressed in an axial direction of the rod; and a backpack including a bladder in fluid communication with the dispensing element; wherein the handle assembly is configured to selectively dispense a fluid from at least one of the backpack and the container; wherein when the push-button actuator is pressed in the axial direction of the rod for a first time the piston is urged away from the opening of the handle assembly and fluid continuously flows from the one of the container and the bladder, through the opening of the handle assembly, and out the dispensing element, and wherein when the push-button actuator is pressed in the axial direction of the rod a second time the piston of the valve returns to a position covering the opening of the handle assembly thereby preventing the fluid from flowing through the opening of the handle assembly and out the dispensing element.
