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.

A household implement comprising: a tool member including an operative element and a rod attached at one end to said operative element; a hollow housing having an opening at one end and a hand grip at an opposite end, said housing having a longitudinal axis; mounting means for mounting said tool member to said housing for slidable motion between a retracted position inside said housing and an extended position wherein said operative element and a portion of said rod are outside of said housing; and locking means on said housing for releasably locking said tool member in said extended position, said locking means including: a pair of arrests extending inwardly from opposite sides of an inner surface of said housing, said arrests defining a pair of abutment surfaces disposed essentially in a common plane oriented transversely with respect to said housing, said arrests being spaced from one another in said common plane; and a bar connected to said rod at an end thereof opposite said operative element, said bar extending orthogonally to said rod, said bar having a length greater than a distance between said abutment surfaces, said bar having a width less than said distance. A household implement comprising: a tool member including: (i) an operative element; (ii) an elongate rod attached at one end to said operative element; and (iii) a bar connected to said rod at an end opposite said operative element, said bar extending substantially orthogonally with respect to said rod; a hollow housing having an opening at one end and a hand grip at an opposite end, said housing having a longitudinal axis; first locking means at said opposite end of said housing for cooperating with said bar, upon a rotation of said tool member from a retracted neutral position, to releasably hold said tool member in a retracted locked position to said housing; and second locking means at said one end of said housing for cooperating with said bar, upon a rotation of said tool member from an extended neutral position, to releasably hold said tool member in an extended locked position to said housing, at least one of said first locking means and said second locking means including a pair of arrests extending inwardly from opposite sides of an inner surface of said housing, said arrests defining a pair of abutment surfaces disposed essentially in a common plane oriented transversely with respect to said housing, said abutment surfaces being spaced from one another in said common plane, said bar having a length greater than a distance between said abutment surfaces, said bar having a width less than said distance. A method for executing a household chore, comprising the steps of: lifting up a housing by a handle provided at an upper end thereof; extending, from an opening in a lower end of said housing, a tool member disposed inside said housing prior to said step of lifting; rotating said tool member with respect to said housing; upon said step of rotating, locking, to formations on opposite sides of said housing, opposite ends of a bar connected to said tool member and extending transversely relative to said housing; manipulating said housing and said tool member via said handle to perform a task to which said tool member is adapted; upon completion of said task, again rotating said tool member with respect to said housing, thereby unlocking said tool member from said housing; retracting said tool member back into said housing; and placing said housing upon a horizontal surface so that said opening is covered and said tool member is again contained inside said housing. A household implement comprising: a tool member including: (i) an operative element; (ii) an elongate rod attached at one end to said operative element; and (iii) a bar connected to said rod at an end opposite said operative element, said bar extending substantially orthogonally with respect to said rod; a hollow housing having an opening at one end and a hand grip at an opposite end, said housing having a longitudinal axis; first locking means at said opposite end of said housing for cooperating with said bar, upon a rotation of said tool member from a retracted neutral position, to releasably hold said tool member in a retracted locked position to said housing; and second locking means at said one end of said housing for cooperating with said bar, upon a rotation of said tool member from an extended neutral position, to releasably hold said tool member in an extended locked position to said housing said second locking means including arresting means for preventing said bar from moving more than a predetermined distance beyond said second locking means in a direction opposite said first locking means, said arresting means including a ring extending inwardly from said inner surface, said ring having an inner diameter, said bar having a length greater than said inner diameter.
