An implement for cleaning, polishing, sanding or other rubbing action which comprises a hollow handle (2) adapted to accommodate a cleaning fluid, polish, lubricant or other fluid and having a head (1) to which the fluid may be dispensed from the handle (2) through a dispensing aperture (6), the head (1) comprising a cleaning or polishing pad or brush or the like (11), the implement having a fluid dispensing flow regulating means comprising a plunger (5) which in use projects from the head (1) through the dispensing aperture (6) and into the hollow interior of the handle (2), the plunger (5) being operated by pressing the head against a surface to advance the plunger (5) to open up the dispensing aperture (6) for dispensing of the fluid, wherein the head (1) is mounted to the handle (2) in such a way as to bend and thereby pre-stress a resiliently flexible part (4) of the head (1) from which the plunger (5) projects to resiliently bias the plunger (5) to retract and occlude the dispensing aperture (6).

1. An implement for cleaning, polishing, sanding or other rubbing action which comprises a hollow handle adapted to accommodate a cleaning fluid, polish, lubricant or other fluid and having a head to which the fluid may be dispensed from the handle through a dispensing aperture in fluid communication with the hollow, the head having a periphery and comprising a cleaning or polishing pad or brush or the like, the implement having a fluid dispensing flow regulator comprising a plunger projecting from the head and cooperating with the dispensing aperture, the plunger being operated by pressure from a surface against the head to advance the plunger to open up the dispensing aperture for dispensing of the fluid and release of said pressure causing retraction of the plunger to close the aperture, wherein the head is mounted to the handle at areas of the head periphery and otherwise the periphery is free, including two mountings being provided as a pair of mountings on opposite sides of the handle, the head being mounted effective to provide a freedom of movement at the mounting effective to allow resilient flexing of the head toward and away from the handle and also to flex the head so as to normally bias the plunger to retract and close the dispensing aperture.2. An implement as claimed in claim 1, wherein the pair of mountings comprises a first pair of means on the head cooperating with a second pair of means on the handle, and the first pair of means are spaced apart from each other by a greater distance than the distance by which the second pair of means on the handle are spaced apart from each other, thereby necessitating bending and pre-tensioning of the resiliently flexible part of the head to enable the head to be mounted to the handle.3. An implement as claimed in claim 2, wherein the manner of engagement of the mounting means of the head with the mounting means of the handle is configured to allow a degree of freedom of the head to move at the mounting and also lateral freedom of movement of the head relative to the handle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the handle.4. The implement of claim 2, wherein the handle comprises at least one additional pair of means alternatively selectable for complementary mounting to said first pair of means on the head, said second and at least one additional pairs of means on the handle present at different spacings.5. An implement as claimed in claim 1 wherein the head includes a resiliently flexible backing plate and a working part.6. An implement as claimed in claim 5 wherein the resiliently flexible backing plate is a substantially flat plate, when not mounted to the handle.7. An implement as claimed in claim 5 wherein the flexible working part is a pad.8. An implement as claimed in claim 5 wherein the flexible working part is bristles thereon or fastened thereto.9. An implement for cleaning, polishing, sanding or other rubbing action which comprises a hollow handle adapted to accommodate a cleaning fluid, polish, lubricant or other fluid and having a head to which the fluid may be dispensed from the handle through a dispensing aperture, the head comprising a cleaning or polishing pad or brush or the like, the implement having a fluid dispensing flow regulating means comprising a plunger which in use projects from the head through the dispensing aperture and into the hollow interior of the handle, the plunger being operated by pressing the head against a surface to advance the plunger to open up the dispensing aperture for dispensing of the fluid, wherein the head is mounted to the handle in such a way as to bend, arching and thereby pre-stressing, a resiliently flexible part of the head from which the plunger projects to resiliently bias the plunger to retract and occlude the dispensing aperture, wherein the head has first mounting means at a first position thereon and a second mounting means at a second position thereon spaced from the first mounting means and the handle has complementary first mounting means and second mounting means thereon to co-operatively engage respectively, with the first mounting means and the second mounting means of the head, the first mounting means and the second mounting means of the head being spaced apart by a greater distance than the distance by which the complementary first mounting means and second mounting means of the handle are spaced apart, thereby necessitating bending and pre-tensioning of the resiliently flexible pert of the head to enable the head to be mounted to the handle, wherein one or more alternatively selectable complementary mounting means are provided on the handle at a differing spacing from the first complementary mounting means to enable selection of the extent of resilient bending of the resiliently flexible part of the head.10. An implement as claimed in claim 1, wherein the head is disengageable from the handle to enable the head to be removed and replaced with another head.11. An implement as claimed in claim 1 wherein the plunger is formed with an aperture leading to the working side of the head.12. An implement for cleaning, polishing, sanding or other rubbing action which comprises a hollow handle adapted to accommodate a cleaning fluid, polish, lubricant or other fluid and having a head to which the fluid may be dispensed from the handle through a dispensing aperture, the head comprising a cleaning or polishing pad or brush or the like, the implement having a fluid dispensing flow regulating means comprising a plunger which in use projects from the head through the dispensing aperture and into the hollow interior of the handle, the plunger being operated by pressing the heed against a surface to advance the plunger to open up the dispensing aperture for dispensing of the fluid, wherein the head is mounted to the handle in such a way as to bend, arching and thereby pre-stressing, a resiliently flexible part of the head from which the plunger projects to resiliently bias the plunger to retract and occlude the dispensing aperture, wherein the resiliently flexible part of the head is a flexible working part, wherein the working part comprises bristles and the backing plate is initially substantially flat and has a plurality of socket head extensions extending therefrom to receive the bristles with voids between adjacent extensions whereby the material content of the backing plate to receive the bristles is economized and the backing plate may be readily flexed by flexing between the socket extensions.13. An implement as claimed in claim 12, wherein the backing plate has a series of socket extension extrusions arranged as a series of socket extension extrusion ribs, each rib of which extends laterally of the backing plate and has a plurality of sockets to receive bristles arranged in a row in each rib.14. An implement as claimed in claim 1 and wherein the dispensing aperture includes an elastomeric sealing component.15. An implement as claimed in claim 14, wherein the plunger has a tubular configuration so that when advanced into the elastomeric sealing component it will act as a conduit for the fluid from within the handle to flow onto the head.
