Abstract:
1. A system for cleaning, comprising: a handle; a head having a cleaning surface, connected to the handle; wherein the head is extendable to selectively widen the cleaning surface; wherein the head is contractable to selectively narrow the cleaning surface; a gear, connected to the handle and operably connected to the head, so that twist of the handle rotates the gear; wherein rotation of the gear selectively extends the head to selectively widen the cleaning surface; wherein the reverse rotation of the gear selectively contracts the head to selectively narrow the cleaning surface; a first series of extension gears operably connected to the gear; a first head extension operably connected to the first series; a second series of extension gears operably connected to the gear; a second head extension operably connected to the second series; and wherein twist of the handle rotates the gear, causing rotations of the first series and the second series, causing the first head extension to laterally extend and causing the second head extension to laterally extend.
