Abstract

One embodiment of the improved squeegee has a front deflector bar, and a plurality of material folding devices that are oriented and positioned on the front deflector bar such that the material encountering the front deflector bar is folded back onto material not yet encountered by the front deflector bar. The front deflector bar has an inside wall with a predetermined configuration and the material folding devices extend from this inside wall. The material folding devices may extend substantially perpendicular from the inside wall or at other angles. The improved squeegee may also have a back support section and a blade. The front deflector bar may be operatively connected to the back support section. The blade may be secured at least partially between the back support section and the front deflector bar.

Claims (10)

1. A squeegee, comprising:
a back support section;
a blade;
a front deflector bar having opposing ends and a plurality of at least three spaced fins, the front deflector bar being generally planar and operatively connected to the back support section, and the blade being secured at least partially between the back support section and the front deflector bar, the front deflector bar having a planar wall; and the plurality of fins being substantially flat, extending out from the planar wall and at least one fin being positioned in the center of the front deflector bar and spaced from the ends such that material encountering the front deflector bar and the plurality of fins are folded back onto oncoming material not yet encountered by the front deflector bar.
2. The squeegee according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of fins are oriented substantially vertical and parallel to one another.
3. The squeegee according to claim 1, wherein the front deflector bar has first and second ends, and wherein a first fin of the plurality of fins is located in an area of the first end, and wherein a second fin of the plurality of fins is located in an area of the second end.
4. The squeegee according to claim 3, wherein each fin of the plurality of fins are substantially evenly spaced along the front deflector bar.
5. The squeegee according to claim 1, wherein the material is one of a fluid and a semi fluid.
6. A squeegee for clearing material on a floor, comprising:
a back support section;
a blade;

a front deflector bar having opposing ends and a plurality of at least three spaced fins there between, the front deflector being operatively connected to the back support section, the blade being secured at least partially between the back support section and the front deflector bar, the front deflector having a planar front surface;
a handle connector connected at least to the back support section; struts connected between at least the back support section and a handle;
a the handle attached to the handle connector; and the plurality of fins being substantially flat, extending out from the planar front surface, and at least one fin being positioned in the center of the front deflector bar and spaced from the ends such that material encountering the front deflector bar and the fins are folded back onto oncoming material not yet encountered by the front deflector bar.
7. The squeegee according to claim 6, wherein each fin of the plurality of fins are oriented substantially vertical and parallel to one another.
8. The squeegee according to claim 6, wherein the front deflector bar has first and second ends, and wherein a first fin of the plurality of fins is located in an area of the first end, and wherein a second fin of the plurality of fins is located in an area of the second end.
9. The squeegee according to claim 8, wherein each fin of the plurality of fins are substantially evenly spaced along the front deflector bar.
10. The squeegee according to claim 6, wherein the material is one of a fluid and a semi fluid.
