Squeegee with broomstick and a foam rubber lip, which adapts to uneven ground that serve the pulling and pushing of dirty water to a drain. Wipers of vehicles provide clear vision in rain and water splashes.
The liquid is reciprocated by damming effect before the puller. A fine -edged lip on smooth glass seals so well that only a very thin film remains which may quickly evaporates. By choosing a suitable lip, matching pitch and pressure rattle can ( swing ) are largely avoided.
