Description

  The present invention relates to a cleaning tool used for cleaning in a wide range of indoor and outdoor applications.

  “Hataki”, which has been used as a cleaning tool since ancient times, is made by attaching a number of flexible tapping pieces, such as cloth and hair, to the tip of a rod-shaped handle. A piece hits a cleaning place, and the dust accumulated in the place is knocked down.

  This type of "hataki" can be used conveniently for cleaning places that have complex uneven shapes such as floors, ceiling corners, windows, shoji bars and rails, furniture surfaces, etc. On the other hand, there is a drawback in that it is necessary to separately collect dust that has been knocked down.

  Focusing on this point, the present inventor has proposed a cleaning tool that is attached to an intake pipe of a vacuum cleaner and intended to use the intake air sucked into the intake pipe for collecting dust (for example, Patent Document 1).

This cleaning tool has a large number of striking rods configured as thin hollow hollow rods having flexibility at the tip of a cylindrical base that forms an air passage that is continuous with the intake pipe by being attached to the intake pipe. The main attachment and the tip of the hitting stick beat out the dust at the cleaning place, while the dust blown out is sucked into the intake pipe through the hollow portion of each hitting stick and connected to the intake pipe. It is set as the structure collected by a vacuum cleaner.
