Squeegee

An improved, light-weight squeegee suitable for use in and around the home for cleaning and drying shower and tub enclosures, windows, and spa decks, or autos and boat decks. The squeegee is constructed without metal parts that could scratch glass, ceramic and painted surfaces or that could corrode and stain such surfaces. A cylindrical handle holds dual S-shaped blades, which extend along the handle and beyond one end of the handle to facilitate cleaning in tight spaces. The unitary blades are coextruded from thermoplastics having different hardnesses, the roots of the blades held in the slotted handle being stiff, while the extended portions of the blades used for wiping surfaces are relatively flexible. The compact size and the integral handle parallel with the blades allows the user to maneuver the squeegee efficiently in the narrow confines of glass enclosures.

A squeegee has a handle consisting of a straight elongate cylindrical member having a pair of elongate blades mounted along one side, flush with one end of the handle and protruding beyond the opposite end. The blades each have a rigid base portion received in one of a pair of channels and a flexible distal portion protruding therefrom for wiping a surface. The blades are integrally formed in a shallow S-shaped cross section and the channels are formed with parallel curved sidewalls conforming to the curvature of a portion of the width of the blade.
