Abstract:
A spray dispensing cleaning implement for cleaning hard to reach places includes a handle that is coupled to a bar. A plurality of bristles is coupled to and extends from a bottom of the bar. The handle is hollow and defines a reservoir that is configured to position a solution. A nozzle is coupled to the bar. A tube is coupled to the nozzle and extends into the reservoir. A pump, which is coupled to and positioned in the reservoir, is operationally coupled to the tube. A trigger is pivotally coupled to the handle and is operationally coupled to the pump. The handle is configured to be grasped in a hand of a user positioning a digit of the hand to pivot the trigger to actuate the pump to spray the solution from the nozzle onto a surface. The user brushes the bristles on the surface to clean the surface.

Claim (Index 17):
A spray dispensing cleaning implement comprising:\n a bar, the bar having a top, a bottom, a first end, a second end, and opposing sides, the bottom being flat, the top being arcuate, the first end and the second end being arcuate, the opposing sides extending angularly between the first end and the second end such that the bar is tapered with the bar being wider at the first end than the second end, the opposing sides each having a length such that the bar is elongated between the first end and the second end; a plurality of bristles coupled to and extending substantially perpendicularly from the bottom of the bar, the plurality of bristles comprising a subset of bristles coupled to the bar proximate to the second end, each bristle of the subset of bristles extending transversely from the bar such that the subset of bristles extends past the second end of the bar wherein the subset of bristles is configured for selectively inserting into a crevice and a corner; a handle coupled to and extending from the first end of the bar, the handle being hollow defining a reservoir wherein the reservoir is configured for positioning a solution, the handle having a terminus distal from the bar, the terminus being open, the handle comprising:\n a neck coupled to and extending arcuately from the bar, the neck being substantially circularly shaped when viewed longitudinally, the neck tapered extending towards the bar such that the neck is circumferentially larger distal from the bar, and \n a body coupled to and extending from the neck such that the bar is offset from the body, the body being circumferentially larger than the neck, the body being substantially circularly shaped when viewed longitudinally, the body being circumferentially larger proximate to a centerline of the body such that the body is elongated egg shaped, a maximum diameter of the body being greater than a maximum width of the bar measured between the opposing sides of the bar perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the bar; \n a plug complementary to the terminus of the handle wherein the plug is positioned for inserting into the terminus of the handle for frictionally coupling to the handle for sealably closing the terminus, the plug comprising a disc and a protrusion, the disc being complementary to the terminus of the handle, the protrusion being coupled to and extending from an outer face of the disc wherein the protrusion is configured for grasping in digits of a hand of a user for selectively inserting the disc into the terminus of the handle for frictionally coupling the disc to the handle for sealably closing the terminus, the protrusion being circumferentially smaller distal from the disc such that the protrusion is pointedly tapered; a hole positioned through the protrusion wherein the hole is configured for selectively inserting a fastener coupled to a support for coupling the handle to the support; a grip coupled to an upper face of the handle, the grip being resilient wherein the grip is configured for enhancing a grasp of the hand of the user on the handle, the grip comprising rubber, the grip having an outer perimeter, the outer perimeter being sinuous; a nozzle coupled to the bar, the nozzle being positioned proximate to the second end of the bar; a tube coupled to the nozzle and extending into the reservoir such that the nozzle is in fluidic communication with the reservoir, the tube extending into the body to proximate to the centerline and a lower face of the handle; a pump coupled to and positioned in the reservoir, the pump being operationally coupled to the tube, the pump being positive displacement type, the pump being positioned in the neck; and a trigger pivotally coupled to the handle, the trigger being operationally coupled to the pump wherein the handle is configured for grasping in the hand of the user positioning a digit of the hand for pivoting the trigger for actuating the pump for spraying the solution from the nozzle onto a surface positioning the user for brushing the bristles on the surface with the handle for cleaning the surface, the trigger being coupled to the neck and extending from the lower face of the handle.
