Patent ID: 7886396

Claim:
A cleaning tool comprising: a telescopic support having at least two separate shafts, of which a first shaft is configured to slidably receive a second shaft within the first shaft; a forward mount attached to the second shaft of the telescopic support; a primary support having a first end adapted to receive a cleaning pad and a second end; a wheel at the second end of the primary support, the wheel having a plurality of pockets circumferentially spaced from one another and defining a plurality of angular positions for the primary support relative to the telescopic support, and wherein the plurality of positions include a folded position, a stable extended position rotated from the folded position, and a number of partial folded positions; and a resilient catch connected to the forward mount and configured to operably engage respective ones of the plurality of pockets of the wheel to secure the primary support at a desired angular position relative to the telescopic support; wherein a torque applied to the primary support deflects the resilient catch to permit rotation of the wheel without damaging the cleaning tool; and wherein the wheel is formed of a first material having a first rigidity and the resilient catch is formed of a second material having a second rigidity that is less than the first rigidity and wherein torque applied to the primary support causes the resilient catch to flex inwardly away from the wheel to allow rotation of the wheel relative to the support.
