1. A squeegee holding apparatus comprising:
- an elongated, rigid, channel-shaped holder formed with spaced-apart, first and second parallel sidewalls cooperating to define therebetween an interior cavity, said first sidewall terminating in an elongated lip and being formed on its interior with a plurality of laterally spaced apart, parallel grooves co-extensive with said lip;
a flexible squeegee blade formed with oppositely disposed first and second edges;
a removable channel-shaped cap for slidable receipt within said cavity and formed with laterally spaced-apart walls for embracing said first edge of said blade; and
a slider positioned on the exterior of said cap and formed for selective, slidable receipt in said grooves and cooperating with said cap to removably hold said blade in said holder whereby said cap may be selectively inserted in said cavity with said slider received in selected ones of said grooves, thereby varying the distance said second edge of said blade projects beyond said lip.

Abstract
A channel-shaped holder having parallel side walls which cooperate to form a cavity therebetween for receiving a cleaning blade. One edge of the cleaning blade is mounted in an elongated channel-shaped cap which includes an elongated slider protruding from one side thereof. The slider is inserted into a selected one of a number of longitudinally-elongated, parallel, laterally spaced apart grooves formed on the interior of the holder to selectively adjust the distance the free edge of such blade projects from the holder.
