Abstract

A sweeper device for RV slide-outs for safely and conveniently reaching hard-to-reach areas that needs to be swept. The sweeper device for RV slide-outs includes support members hingedly connected to one another for a user to effectively reach tops of RV slide-outs while standing upon a ground; hinge members interconnecting the support members; a handle assembly being attached to one of the support members; and a work member assembly being removably disposed to at least one of the support members for sweeping off the tops of RV slide-outs.

Claims

1. A sweeper device for RV slide-outs comprising:

support members hingedly connected to one another and having lengths for a user to effectively reach tops of RV slide-outs while standing upon a ground, wherein said support members include a first elongate support member, a second elongate support member being hingedly connected to said first elongate support member, and a third support member which is a stub member being hingedly connected to said second elongate support member;

hinge members interconnecting said support members, wherein said hinge members also include a first hinge member interconnecting said second elongate support member and said third support member and having a pair of triangular-shaped side walls being spaced apart and forming a slot therebetween, said first hinge member also having an end wall interconnecting said side walls and limiting extension of said third support member relative to said second elongate support member, upon being extended said third support member being disposed 90 degrees to said second elongate support member;

a handle assembly being attached to at least one of said support members; and

a work member assembly being removably disposed to at least one of said support members for sweeping off the tops of RV slide-outs.

2. The sweeper device for RV slide-outs as described in claim 1, wherein said hinge members include a second hinge member interconnecting said first and second elongate support members and having a pair of triangular-shaped side walls being spaced apart and forming a slot therebetween, each of said side walls having holes being disposed therethrough and being adapted to receive a fastener, said second hinge member also having an end wall interconnecting said side walls and limiting extension of said second elongate support member relative to said first elongate support member, upon being extended said second elongate support member being disposed 90 degrees to said first elongate support member and said first elongate support member being disposed parallel to said third support member.

3. The sweeper device for RV slide-outs as described in claim 1, wherein said hinge members also include a second hinge member interconnecting said first and second elongate support members and having a pair of side walls being spaced apart and forming a slot therebetween, said second hinge member also having a spindle interconnecting said side walls of said second hinge member and being attached to said second elongate support member for rotation therewith, and upon extending said second elongate support member relative to said first elongate support member said third support member being parallel to the first elongate support member.

4. A sweeper device for RV slide-outs comprising:

support members hingedly connected to one another and having lengths for a user to effectively reach tops of RV slide-outs while standing upon a ground, wherein said support members include a first elongate support member, a second elongate support member hingedly connected to said first elongate support member, and a third support member hingedly connected to said second elongate support member, wherein said first elongate support member has a work member-receiving end and a recessed portion at said work member-receiving end;

hinge members interconnecting said support members;

a handle assembly being attached to at least one of said support members; and

a work member assembly being removably disposed to at least one of said support members for sweeping off the tops of RV slide-outs, wherein said work member assembly includes a sleeve being removably received about one of said support members, and also includes a work member being swivelly connected to said sleeve for sweeping the tops of RV slide-outs.

5. The sweeper device for RV slide-outs as described in claim 4, wherein said sleeve is removably received about said third support member.

6. The sweeper device for RV slide-outs as described in claim 4, wherein said sleeve is removably received about said work member-receiving end and said recessed portion of said first elongate support member.
