A remote control apparatus with a cleaning mechanism comprises a controller accommodated in a housing (1) and a cleaning means (8,40, 50,52a-52b,51a-51b, 71, 21,31,25a-25c,26,27a-27b, 37,32,35) assembled to the housing. The user holds the apparatus and makes a selection so as to remotely control the electric appliance. The cleaning means outwardly extends from the housing (1). The user rubs the surface of the electric appliance with the cleaning means pressed against the electric appliance, thereby cleaning the surface of the electric appliance. The cleaning means includes a cleaning element (8, 50, 21, 31) and an extend-retract mechanism (25a-25c,26,27a-27b 37,32,35). The cleaning element may be a brush (21, 31) or a sheet of cloth (8, 50). The extend-retract mechanism causes the cleaning element (21, 31, 8, 50) to move to an operative position where the cleaning element (21, 31, 8, 50) is extended for cleaning the electric appliance and to a non-operative position where the cleaning element is retracted into the housing (1). <IMAGE> |
