Abstract

A platform for supporting an end effector connected to a distal end of an elongate member above an elevated surface, such as a roof of a building, when a proximal end of the elongate member is positioned on towards a lower surface, such as a ground surface, the platform comprising: a guide for receiving a portion of a mast configured to support an elongate member, the elongate member having a distal end and an end effector connected to the a distal end thereof; a first actuator configured to move the mast in a first direction so as to move raise the end effector vertically relative to an elevated surface; a second actuator configured to move the guide in a second direction different to the first direction so as to move the end effector across the elevated surface when a proximal end of the elongate member is positioned on towards the lower surface, and a controller operatively connected to the first actuator and the second actuator.

Abstract

The present application provides window cleaning apparatus (100) comprising: an elongate pole (102) comprising a plurality of telescopic pole members (103, 103a, 103b); a fluid inlet (118) to connect to a source of window cleaning fluid; and a head (106) provided at a distal end of the elongate pole (102) and comprising a fluid outlet (148) in fluid communication with the fluid inlet (118). A sectional profile (116) of each of mutually engaging surfaces of the plurality of telescopic pole members (103, 103a, 103b) define one of a plurality of non-circular shapes, whereby to substantially prevent mutual rotation of the telescopic members (103, 103a, 103b) around a longitudinal axis of the elongate pole (102).
