| Abstract: |
A squeegee assembly includes i) a handle having a male blade-mounting portion; and ii) a dual-extruded squeegee blade having a resilient squeegee portion and a channel. The channel is constructed of a generally semi-rigid material and is sized and shaped to be slidably mounted to the male blade-mounting portion of the handle. The handle is constructed of a molded thermoplastic or a stamped metal and includes a gripping area. The dual-extruded squeegee blade is constructed of compatible vinyls, elastomers, or other thermoplastics. The squeegee portion is chevroned, with the chevron defining a pair of cleaning members, so that the squeegee blade is reversible. In an alternative embodiment, the squeegee blade includes a sponge extruded therewith. In a further alternative embodiment, the squeegee blade includes a second channel extruded therewith and an extruded sponge adapted to be slidably insertable into the second channel.

I claim:
1. A squeegee assembly which comprises:
- (a) an elongated handle having a longitudinal axis and a male blade-mounting portion at an end thereof, the male blade-mounting portion comprising an elongated upstanding member oriented transverse with respect to the longitudinal axis of the handle, the elongated upstanding member comprising a bulbous portion at a free end thereof; and
- (b) an elongated dual-extruded squeegee blade comprising a one-piece extrusion having a resilient squeegee portion and a semi-rigid portion constructed of a semi-rigid material which is more rigid than the resilient squeegee portion, the semi-rigid portion of the squeegee blade having a channel formed therein which is shaped to slidably receive the male blade-mounting portion of the handle, the channel being open along at least one end thereof and along a longitudinal axis thereof, the channel having a first narrow portion corresponding to the upstanding member and a second enlarged portion corresponding to the bulbous portion.
