What the claims cover, in plain language

Claim 1 - a scraping device with a housing, a support movable inside it carrying several scraping pieces on two opposite sides, and a gear transmission. When the device moves over a surface, the transmission moves the support so that the scraping piece in front lifts away and the one behind presses on the surface and wipes.

Claims 2-5 - the transmission has a sliding block and a sliding plate linked by gears; the block moves backward relative to the direction of travel and makes the plate swing the support (claim 2); a friction element on the block contacts the surface (claim 3) through a hole in the housing (claim 4) and is removable (claim 5). Claims 6-8 - a shaft with a first gear meshing a rack on the sliding plate (claim 6), driven by a rack on the block and a second gear (claim 7), or by a motor controlled by a processing unit (claim 8). Claims 9-12 - pressing surfaces on the plate, and limiting features (holes and ribs) that limit and hold its travel. Claims 13-17 - the support is two parallel mounting beams and at least two cross beams, hinged in the housing by a shaft or hinge seat, with slots for the blades, and may be one molded part. Claim 18 - the support moves through 5-25° relative to the housing center.

This is a simplified reading for orientation only. The legal scope is defined by the exact claim wording in the official Chinese document.

What this means for US production

This patent was filed only in China. It is still in force in China, so making or selling this design in China would need the owner’s permission while it lasts (at most until 2030-07-13). It has no US or other foreign counterpart and does not restrict the design outside China.

Before production, keep in mind:

  • Other patents may exist. Window squeegees and magnetic window cleaners are made by many brands with US patents and design patents. Use your own styling and have a freedom-to-operate (FTO) search done by a US patent attorney before volume production.

Customization and manufacturing

What can be customized

AreaOptions
Product typeMagnetic two-sided window cleaner, handheld squeegee, pole-mounted head
SizeHead width and blade length - to be confirmed in design
BladesSilicone or rubber; replaceable blade strips
PadMicrofiber, sponge or scrub pad; replaceable
Magnet strengthFor magnetic versions, matched to the glass thickness range
HousingABS or PP, brand colors, soft-touch grip
PackagingRetail box with spare pads and blades

Things to plan for (US market)

  • Magnets - strong magnets need a pinch warning and a safety cord for the outer unit; keep them away from children.
  • Glass thickness - state the supported glass thickness range on the package for magnetic versions.
  • Labels - country of origin; check plastics and rubber against California Proposition 65.

How a project runs

  1. Inquiry - product type, size and quantity.
  2. Design - gear train, friction slider and blade frame for the chosen size.
  3. Prototype - samples for switching, streak and wear tests on glass.
  4. Pilot run - small batch to check molding and assembly.
  5. Production - volume production, packaging and shipping.

Quantities & timeline

The housing, frame, slider and gears are injection-molded parts, so the main cost is the mold set; blades and pads are standard consumables. Send us your product type, size, quantity and target price and we will reply with options.
