A unitary child-resistant closure for pill containers, comprises a substantially rectangular base having an opening therein. A first fixed cover portion overlies more than 50% of the opening. There is a moveable closure member, and a hinge--usually, a living hinge--connecting the moveable closure member to the rectangular base. The moveable closure member has first and second major surfaces, which are its upper surface and lower surface when the moveable closure member is in its operative closure position. A camming member is upstanding from the second major surface of the moveable closure member at a first end thereof, and presents a sliding cam surface which is sloped in a direction towards the second major surface and away from the hinge. The first end of the camming member has a latch member formed therein, which extends beyond the first end of the moveable closure member and is spaced away from the second major surface by a distance which is at least equal to the thickness of the first fixed cover portion. A flexible spring member is formed between the second end of the camming member and the hinge, and terminates at one end thereof in the hinge. When the moveable closure member is in its operative closure position, the latch member extends beneath a first end of the fixed cover portion, and the first end of the moveable closure member is urged against the first end of the first fixed cover portion by the spring action of the flexible spring member.

A device for effecting general household cleaning comprises a main body member having a first longitudinal axis, with a portion of said main body member having a generally hollow handle portion defining a storage area. A head member is affixed to a first end of the main body member, and it has a second longitudinal axis. There is a brush at a second end of the main body portion, having an elongated spine and a plurality of bristles securely retained by the spine. The brush is connected in movable relation to the main body member, and is movable between an extended position and a retracted position. A sponge is securely retained on the head portion; and a resilient blade is also securely retained on the head portion and is adapted for wiping liquid from a surface. There is also a retaining member adapted for releasable attachment to the head member and further adapted to securely retain the sponge and the blade on the head member. Thus, the head and the retaining member are generally elongated and have opposed receiving surfaces adapted to receive and retain a portion of the sponge and the blade therebetween. The device further comprises a debris collection pan removable attached thereto by a further handle portion that clips onto the handle of the main body portion. The pan has a filtered spout, so liquids and solids collected in the pan may be separated by pouring off the liquid.
