ABSTRACT:
A water-wiping blade for wiping water from curved surfaces is based on a flexible panel having a height at least ten percent of the length. The flexible panel comprises an upper and a lower long edge, with a handle attached to the upper long edge, and a lip formed along the lower long edge, the lip ending in a sharp line at the end away from the flexible panel. In a preferred embodiment a handle is attached along the upper long edge. By rotating the flexible panel around the handle length and urging the panel into a curved surface, the panel can be caused to wrap around a substantial length along the curved surface with the sharp line of the lip in contact with the curved surface. Translating the panel then is effective in wiping standing water from the curved surface. In some embodiments handle extensions may be used to allow positioning the flexible panel in hard-to-reach places. Also in some embodiments a lip is provided to both sides of the flexible panel so either side may be used for wiping water.
