Patent ID: 8166598

Claim:
A cleaning device comprising an elongated curved body having a proximal segment, a distal segment, an intermediate segment, and a mounting neck attached at the distal segment, said proximal segment having a free end and an end attached to a proximal end of the intermediate segment, and said distal segment having a first end attached to said mounting neck and a second end attached to a distal end of the intermediate segment, and a cleaning head attached to the mounting neck, said cleaning head being aligned with and opposite said proximal segment, such that the position of the free end of the proximal segment defines the relative position of the cleaning head, said intermediate segment being a bight having a radius of curvature of at least three inches and an angle of curvature of at least 120 degrees, wherein said elongated curved body is shaped to provide a vertical space between the proximal segment and the distal segment, said space being capable of being widened by urging the distal and proximal segments apart from each other and said elongated curved body being resiliently biased such that the distal and proximal segments are biased towards one another when urged apart.
