     2. Description of the Related Art 
     The old saying, “I don&#39;t do windows” is a sentiment shared by many. Most people find it tiresome, boring and perhaps difficult to do. Additionally as one walks around the inside or outside of a home or building cleaning windows, one must carry cleaning agent, clean towels, and the used towels. It is also necessary to repeatedly pickup and set down these items during the cleaning process, so that at least one hand may be free to clean the windows. In doing so, it is easy to soil the clean roll of paper towels, perhaps even ruining the entire roll. If one decides to leave the soiled paper towels at each window, one must retrace their steps to retrieve them all when completed. 
     Accordingly, there exists a need for a means by which windows can be cleaned in a quick, easy and effective manner without the disadvantages described above. The development of the combined portable cleaning fluid spray apparatus and paper towel support and dispensing apparatus fulfills this need.

     DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 
     1. Detailed Description of the Figures 
     Referring now to FIGS. 1-3, a combined portable cleaning fluid spray apparatus and paper towel support and dispensing apparatus  10  is shown, according to the present invention, comprised of a manually actuable spray apparatus  20 , a cleaning fluid reservoir cylinder  30 , a base  40 , and a paper roll retaining and dispensing apparatus  70 . 
     The cleaning fluid reservoir cylinder  30  is of a linearly elongated, hollow tubular configuration constructed of a clear, plastic material. The reservoir cylinder  30  is designed and configured for both storing a supply of cleaning fluid  12 , and for supporting a roll of paper towels  60  in an upright manner. A hollow center of a roll of paper towels  60  is designed to mate with the reservoir cylinder  30  in such a manner wherein the hollow center slidably receives the reservoir cylinder  30 . The reservoir cylinder  30  further acts as an axis about which a roll of paper towels  60  rotates. 
     The manually actuable spray apparatus  20  is frictionally attached to the reservoir cylinder  30  through the provision of the reservoir cylinder  30  being provided with a threaded male fitting  32  located at an upper end thereof for threadably engaging a threaded female fitting  22  provided on a lower side of a spray head  24  of the spray apparatus  20 . 
     A fluid pump  26 , located within the spray head  24  and of a type well known in the art, forces cleaning fluid  12  from the reservoir cylinder  30  into and through a flexible syphon tube  27  and exits a spray nozzle  28 . The fluid pump includes a depressible trigger  29  pivotally attached via a pivot pin  25  to the spray head  24 , wherein the trigger  29  extends outward through a slot  21  provided in the spray head  24 . The trigger  29  is designed so as to be easily depressed by a finger of a user. The trigger  29  is connected to the fluid pump  26  via a push rod  23  which actuates the fluid pump  26 . The syphon tube  27  is of a linearly elongated configuration and extends downward to a position near a bottom of the reservoir cylinder  30 . The syphon tube  27  extends into and exits the fluid pump  26  and extends to the spray nozzle  28  which is mounted to an end of the spray head  24 . The syphon tube  27  is of a length which allows the spray apparatus  20  to be removed from the reservoir cylinder  30  while a lower end of the syphon tube  27  remains in the cleaning fluid  12 , thereby allowing a user to spray cleaning fluid  12  in areas which would otherwise be impractical to do so. 
     Referring now to FIGS. 4-6, the reservoir cylinder  30  is further defined as having a circular skirt structure  33  molded integral therewith which extends radially from a sidewall of a lower portion thereof. An upper, outer perimeter of the skirt structure  33  is defined as having a cylindrical housing receiving edge  34  formed peripherally therearound as an angular recess between an upper surface  35  of the skirt structure  33  and a circular apron thereof  36 . A lower, inner perimeter of the skirt structure  33  is defined as having a base receiving edge  38  formed peripherally therearound as an angular recess between a lower surface  36   a  of skirt structure  33  and a lower inner sidewall of the circular apron  36  thereof. 
     A plurality of C-shaped, hollow, sleeved fasteners  39  are molded integral to the lower surface  36  of the skirt structure  33 . The fasteners  39  are designed so as to slidably receive corresponding attachment stems  41  of the base  40  (to be described in greater detail below) in a snug manner for allowing the reservoir cylinder  30  to be removably secured to the base  40 . 
     Referring now to FIGS. 7-9, the base  40  is of a circular, hollow configuration fabricated of a rigid plastic material with an upper surface  42  opposite a lower surface  44 , and a circular apron  40   a  which form a used towel storage compartment  46 . A large circular opening  47  formed along the circular apron  40   a  provides entry into the storage compartment  46 , wherein used towels are inserted through the opening  47  and stored within the compartment  46 . The upper surface  42  of the base  40  serves as a platform upon which the roll of paper towels  60  rest. 
     Attachment stems  41  are molded integral to the upper surface  42  of the base  40  and extend perpendicularly therefrom. Each attachment stem  41  comprises a circular, flattened head  41   a  adapted so as to be snugly received by a corresponding fastener  39 . 
     An upper, outer perimeter of the base  40  is defined as having a skirt structure receiving edge  43  formed peripherally therearound as an angular recess between an upper surface  42  of the base  40  and a circular apron  40   a  thereof. 
     The base receiving edge  38  of the skirt structure  33  is designed to coincide with the skirt structure receiving edge  43  of the base  40  in such a manner whereby adjoinment of the reservoir cylinder  30  to the base  40  forms a smooth outer surface at an outer adjoinment point thereof. 
     The base  40  is further defined as having a portable cleaning fluid tank  90  removably positioned therein for the storage of a supply of cleaning fluid  12 . The cleaning fluid tank  90  provides the user with an additional supply of cleaning fluid  12  should the need arise. 
     It is envisioned that a removably attachable base  40  measuring approximately ⅓ larger in size, and being otherwise identical in design and configuration is provided so as to accommodate a greater number of used towels when encountering larger cleaning jobs. 
     In order to effectuate securement of the reservoir cylinder  30  to the base  40 , a user aligns the reservoir cylinder  30  directly above the upper surface  42  of the base  40  in such a manner wherein the heads  41   a  of the attachment stems  41  reside just shy a head receiving slot  39   a  formed in each fastener  39 . The user then simply rotates the reservoir cylinder  30  approximately ⅛ turn in a clockwise direction, thereby securing the heads  41   a  of the attachment stems  41  within the fasteners  39 , and effectively securing the reservoir cylinder  30  to the base  40 . 
     Referring now in greater detail to FIGS. 10-13, the lower surface  44  of the base  40  is defined as having an upper portion  64   a  opposite a lower portion  64   b  with a circular trap door  49  attached by a hinge  50  thereto. The trap door  49  is defined as having a linearly elongated spring-biased closure latch  52  with a progressively tapering, narrowed, curved end  56  which forms an acute angle opposite a flat end  57  which forms a 90° angle with respect to an upper surface  59  of the trap door  49 . The closure latch  52  rests within a rectangular housing  54  mounted to the upper portion  64   a  of the trap door  49 . A spring  55 , mounted between the flat end  57  of the closure latch  52  and an end wall  62  of the housing  54 , spring biases the closure latch  52  to a protruding position outside an entrance of the housing  54 . 
     In order to maintain the trap door  49  in a closed position, the curved end  56  of the closure latch  52  mechanically interferes with an inner sidewall  69  positioned between the upper and lower portions  64   a,    64   b  respectively, of the lower surface  44  of the base  40 , thereby facilitating retraction of the closure latch  52  within the housing  54 . Upon clearing the inner sidewall  69 , thus removing mechanical interference between the curved end  56  of the closure latch  52  and the inner sidewall  69 , the closure latch  52  is biased to the protruding position, transverse and perpendicularly with respect to an inner rim  68 . Mechanical interference between the curved end  56  of the closure latch  52  and the inner rim  68  maintains the trap door  49  in a closed position. 
     In order to facilitate opening of the trap door  49 , a button  64  extends through a hole  65  in the circular apron  40   a  of the base  40  and is biased lateral with respect to the circular apron  40   a  by spring  66 . A linearly elongated release arm  67  is mounted linear to an end of the button  64 . Pressure exerted on the button  64  actuates the release arm  67  to engage the closure latch  52  in such a manner whereby the closure latch  52  is retracted within the housing  54 , thereby removing mechanical interference between the closure latch  52  and the inner rim  68  of the upper portion  64   a  of the lower surface  44  of the base  40 , and allowing the trap door  49  to swing downward to an open position. The trap door  49  facilitates an easy manner for discarding used paper towels stored within the base  40 . When near a trash collection bin or other waist receiving container, the trap door  40  allows the user to easily discard used paper towels in a quick and efficient manner.

     An upper, outer perimeter of the rubber suction base  110  is defined as having a skirt structure receiving edge  160  formed peripherally therearound as an angular recess between an upper surface  150  of the rubber suction base  110  and a circular apron  154  thereof. 
     The base receiving edge  38  of the skirt structure  33  of the reservoir cylinder  30  is designed to coincide with the skirt structure receiving edge  160  of the rubber suction base  110  in such a manner whereby adjoinment of the reservoir cylinder  30  to the rubber suction base  110  forms a smooth outer surface at an outer adjoinment point thereof. 
     In order to effectuate securement of the reservoir cylinder  30  to the rubber suction base  110 , a user aligns the reservoir cylinder  30  directly above the upper surface  150  of the rubber suction base  110  in such a manner wherein the heads  167  of the attachment stems  166  reside just shy a head receiving slot  39   a  formed in each fastener  39 . The user then simply rotates the reservoir cylinder  30  approximately ⅛ turn in a clockwise direction, thereby securing the heads  167  of the attachment stems  166  within the fasteners  39 , and effectively securing the reservoir cylinder  30  to the rubber suction base  110 . 
     The fourth alternate embodiment of the present invention is further defined as having a surface disengagement means  170  which is defined as a lever  172  rotatably mounted to the circular apron  36  of the reservoir cylinder  30 . Clockwise rotation of the lever  172  actuates disengagement of the rubber suction base  110  from the level surface. Counter-clockwise rotation of the lever  170  allows the rubber suction base  110  to be grippingly held to the level surface. 
     2. Operation of the Preferred Embodiment 
     To use the present invention, the user aligns the reservoir cylinder  30  directly above the upper surface  42  of the base  40  in such a manner wherein the heads  41   a  of the attachment stems  41  reside just shy a head receiving slot  39   a  formed in each fastener  39 . The user then simply rotates the reservoir cylinder  30  approximately ⅛ turn in a clockwise direction, thereby securing the heads  41   a  of the attachment stems  41  within the fasteners  39 , and effectively secures the reservoir cylinder  30  to the base  40 . The user then fills the reservoir cylinder  30  with cleaning fluid; slides a roll of paper towels  60  over the reservoir cylinder  30  such that the lower end thereof rests against the upper surface  35  thereof; feeds a loose sheet end of the towel roll through the towel receiving slot  74 ; slides the upper plate  76  over the reservoir cylinder  30  such that a lower surface of the upper plate  76  rests against an upper end of the paper towels  60  and wherein an anterior end  72  of the retaining rod  71  is slidably received within the oval-shaped hole  77  formed in the upper plate  76 ; slides the syphon tube  27  within the reservoir cylinder  30  and attaches the spray apparatus  20  thereto. Next, the user tears a single sheet from the roll of paper towels  60 , and sprays a soiled area to be cleaned via the spray apparatus  20 . The user then wipes clean the soiled area and places the used paper towel in the storage compartment  46  via the large opening  47 . When the storage compartment  46  is filled, the user depresses the button  64  which actuates the trap door  49  to swing downward to an open position. The trap door  49  facilitates an easy manner for discarding used paper towels stored within the storage compartment  46  of the base  40  when near a trash collection bin or other waist receiving container in a quick and efficient manner. 
     In the event the user&#39;s hands are occupied, a convenient nylon shoulder strap  100  with plastic hook ends  102  is provided. The user connects the hook ends  102  of the strap  100  to apertures  104 ,  106  formed near opposed edges of upper plate  76 , and along opposed edges of the top side  42  of the base  40  respectively, and places the strap  100  over a shoulder, thereby facilitating hands-free transportation of the present invention. 
     The use of the present invention provides a means for one person to quickly clean windows in a safe, easy, and effective manner.
