ABSTRACT:
A household implement comprises a tool member including (i) an operative element, (ii) an elongate rod attached at one end to the operative element, and (iii) a bar shaped flange connected to the rod at an end opposite the operative element, the bar extending substantially orthogonally with respect to the rod. The implement additionally comprises a hollow housing having a longitudinal axis, an opening at one end and a hand grip at an opposite end. A first locking mechanism is provided at the end of the housing where the hand grip is located. The first locking mechanism cooperates with the flange, upon a rotation of the tool member from a retracted neutral position, to releasably hold the tool member in a retracted locked position to the housing. A second locking mechanism is provided at the one end of the housing, near the opening in the housing, for cooperating with the flange, upon a rotation of the tool member from an extended neutral position, to releasably hold the tool member in an extended locked position to the housing.
