Abstract

A self-standing manual surface-treating wiper assembly comprising a floor-engaging wiper head and an elongate handle pivotally-attached thereto at a central location for vertical extension to enable manual movement of the wiper head over a surface to be treated. A short swivel leg is pivotally-attached near the base of the handle for engagement with a detent on the wiper head to enable the handle to be supported upright and render the wiper assembly self-standing during periods of non-use.
