Abstract:
A scrubber assembly, comprising:a scrubber portion;a handle assembly having an engagement portion and a distal portion extending outwardly from the engagement portion, the engagement portion of the handle assembly being slidably couplable to the scrubber portion;the distal portion of said handle assembly being angled relative to said engagement portion;a longitudinal axis of the engagement portion forming a generally obtuse angle relative to a longitudinal axis of the distal portion;an elongated protrusion extending along a lower surface of the engagement portion, the protrusion having a generally trapezoidal cross section taken perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the protrusion, a length of a distal side of said cross section being longer than a length of a proximal side of said cross section;said scrubber portion having an elongated slot, said slot having a complimentary configuration to said protrusion such that said slot snugly receives said protrusion when said protrusion is slid into said slot whereby said scrubber portion is engaged to said engagement portion; andsaid slot having a retaining nipple positioned therein for engaging said protrusion when said protrusion is inserted into said slot, said retaining nipple being for facilitating retention of said protrusion within said slot during use, said retaining nipple being aligned with said longitudinal axis of said distal portion when said protrusion is fully received in said slot such that force along said longitudinal axis of said distal portion facilitates frictional engagement of said retaining nipple by said protrusion when said distal portion is being grasped during use.
