Abstract:
1. A hand held wiper for wiping a fluid on a substrate, comprising: a) a housing; b) a manifold on the housing, wherein the manifold includes multiple fluid passages to control fluid flow; c) spreading material on the manifold such that the manifold provides a base for the spreading material, with the spreading material comprising a fiber network, with a bottom of the spreading material having an arcuate surface extending in a lateral direction to minimize drag as the hand held wiper is wiped side to side across the substrate; d) a cartridge in the housing, wherein the cartridge comprises a flexible bag; e) a fluid in the flexible bag; f) a pump on the housing and transferring fluid from the cartridge to the manifold such that the fluid is wiped by the spreading material upon the substrate; and g) wherein the manifold includes two ends and a floor, with one of the ends of the manifold being designated a first end, with the first end having two faces extending at generally right angles relative to each other and at generally a right angle relative to the floor of the manifold, with the hand held wiper further comprising spreading material engaged at least partially on said faces of the first end, whereby said first end is a corner sperader end.
