(54) Device for removing moisture from window panes and the like


(57) A device for removing moisture such as condensation from window panes comprises a hollow body portion (2) to which is attached an elongate blade (16) of generally wedge-shape in transverse section, one or more inlets (6) to the body portion (2) being formed in said body portion (2) adjacent the trailing regions of the blade (16). On substantially horizontal engagement of the leading edge (24) of the blade (16) with the window pane (34), and on movement of the device up the pane (34), condensation is removed from the pane (34) by the leading edge (24) of the blade (16) and is forced under gravity and inertia over said blade (16), through said one or more inlets (6) and into the hollow body portion (2). The interior of the body portion (2) is of such a shape that emptying of the water from the device can be achieved by turning the device upside down from the position used to collect the water.
