Fig. 1 gets the stereogram of the cleaning utensil 2 of sheet material 1 for the dirty wiping that the disposable cleaning implement of the present invention is installed.Cleaning utensil 2 is made of the head 3 of plate body and bar-shaped handle 4.Dirty wiping is got sheet material 1 and is contacted with the bottom surface 3B of head 3, and it is overlapping that a pair of side edge part 16 that is parallel to each other is bending to the end face 3A of head 3, can fix this dirty wiping with clamp 8 with dismantling and get sheet material 1.The cleaning utensil 2 of installment state has handle 4, so that get sheet material 1 wiping floor with dirty wiping.
Dissect mode with the part branch among Fig. 2 and dirty wiping is shown gets sheet material 1, with the contact-making surface on floor be the top, lateral margin that bending shown in Figure 1 is overlapping 16 is launching to the side.Dirty wiping is got sheet material 1 and is formed rectangle by the side edge part 16 that is parallel to each other, and end edge portion 14 that be parallel to each other vertical with lateral margin district 16, and constituted by basic unit 21, dirty seizure layer 22, cover layer 23, basic unit 21 contacts with head bottom surface 3B, a dirty overlaid of catching layer 22 and this basic unit 21, cover layer 23 and dirty top overlaid of catching layer 22, and part covers on this dirty seizure layer 22.Basic unit's 21 used thicknesses are the synthetic film of the thermoplasticity of 0.05mm-0.3mm, and perhaps the level ground amount is 150-1000g/m 2The nonwoven that constitutes of thermoplastic synthetic fiber's (staple fibre).Dirtyly catch tow that layer 22 constitutes for the continuous filament yarn with the thermoplastic synthetic fiber of fiber number 1-25 danier and open fibre equably and form fleece, according to needed size and the cotton layer that is rich in resiliency that thickness cut off, the level ground amount is 150-3000g/m 2Cover layer 23 uses by the level ground amount and is 30-500g/m 2The nonwoven that constitutes of thermoplastic synthetic fiber's (staple fibre).The fiber number of the synthetic fibers that basic unit 21 and cover layer 23 use does not have special qualification, but during the wiping floor, (ス ペ Application レ-ス) method, acupuncture (ニ-De Le パ Application チ) method, spunbond bonding (ス パ Application ボ Application De) method, melt and spray (メ Le ト Block ロ-Application) method and the nonwoven that obtains in order fiber to be moved uses the melt bonded method (メ Le ト ボ Application De) that fiber (staple fibre) mutually combined or interweave, adhesive bonds (chemical is bonding) method, spunbond braiding than lacking of moving of dirty fiber of catching the long filament of layer 22 as cover layer 23.
Sheet material 1 is got in dirty wiping, removes beyond the both side edges portion 16, disposes dirty seizure layer 22 at the middle position of the width of basic unit 21, and every threads 22A is parallel with side edge part 16, extends settings continuously 14 of two end edge portions.Cover layer 23 in fact with basic unit's 21 identical shaped, same sizes, and with dirty seizure layer 22 overlapping part on be provided with a plurality of perforates 24.At least a portion of a plurality of long filaments 22A that is positioned at the position of this perforate 24 can be exposed, this exposed portions serve is 1/10～8/10 of its total length in the length L of 14 directions of two end edge portions, this exposed portions serve in the width W of 16 directions of both side edges portion at least more than 5mm.The number setting of perforate 24 can also can be set to one for several, and number is set to be not particularly limited on its collocation form when several, but the perforated area ratio is preferably and is equivalent to 20%～80% of dirty cover layer 23 areas of catching layer 22 area.When being one, number preferably is provided in the central authorities of basic unit 21.The size of cover layer 23 can be bigger than basic unit 21 as required, also can be littler than basic unit 21.
Fig. 3 gets the local amplification view of sheet material 1 for dirty wiping.Inboard, perforate 24 residing positions in perforate 24, basic unit 21 that overlaps and dirty seizure layer 22 are with first fusing department, 26 pressurization hot melts, this first hot melt portion 26 is provided between two end edge portions 14 unceasingly, is for than thin membranaceous of the periphery of this first hot melt portion 26.First fusing department 26 shown in the figure is provided between the both side edges portion 16 (consulting shown in Figure 1) intermittently, but if necessary, this first hot melt portion 26 also can prolong the both side edges portion 16 that is set to, and aforementioned first fusing department 26 forms the junction.
The basic unit 21 that position beyond the outside of perforate 24, perforate 24 overlaps, dirty layer 22, cover layer 23 and first fusing department 26 of catching similarly with second fusing department 27 that intermittently the sets hot melts that pressurize, and this second fusing department 27 is for than thin membranaceous of its periphery.But at both ends 14, above-mentioned basic unit 21, cover layer 23, dirty layer 22 usefulness of catching than broad and long the 3rd fusing department 28 pressurization hot melts.Basic unit 21 and cover layer 23 coincide in both side edges portion 16, are provided with the 4th fusing department 29 and (consulting shown in Figure 2) with the pressurization hot melt, and aforementioned second fusing department 27, the 3rd fusing department 28 and the 4th fusing department 29 form the junction.
Fig. 4 is the profile of A-A line among Fig. 3.The inboard of sheet material 1 in its perforate 24 got in dirty wiping, is the dirty seizure layer 22 peripheral part swelling state than perforate 24, and with first fusing department (junction) 26 that basic unit 21 fusions, it is lower than top part 31 that periphery relatively dirty catches layer 22.Moreover in the outside of perforate 24, the dirty seizure of basic unit 21 and cover layer 23 crampings layer 22, cover layer 23 are in than on the low position of top part 31.Make second fusing department (junction) 27 of basic unit 21, dirty seizure layer 22, cover layer 23 fusions lower than the top part of its peripheral cover layer 23.Like this, on cleaning utensil 2, dirty wiping is installed and gets sheet material 1, can make dirty top part 31 of catching layer 22 at first contact with cleaning face.Cleaning utensil 2 tightly is squeezed on the cleaning face, and the top part of top part 31 and cover layer 23 can contact with cleaning face.So, dirty seizure layer 22 becomes the dirty seizure layer of ground floor, and cover layer 23 becomes the dirty seizure layer of the second layer.On this dirty seizure layer 22, cover layer 23, can soak to contain and adhere to dirty finish easily, also can adhesive-applying on cover layer 23 and substitute finish.
Sheet material 1 is got in above-mentioned such dirty wiping that constitutes, and for exerting all one's effort the dirty wiping surface of wiping, can use the dirty seizure layer 22 of the ground floor that exposes in opening 24.If have very dirty face need rub hard except that the time, can use as the dirty cover layer 23 of catching layer of the second layer.
Dirty if granular, and cover layer 23 between can not get the occasion of big contact area, even also be difficult to catch dirty at cover layer 23 adhesive-applyings.But can more freely move 26 of fusing departments (junction) respectively, thereby can be with this dirty being taken in the dirty seizure layers 22 because the dirty long filament 22A that catches layer 22 that sheet material 1 exposes is got in dirty wiping.Dirty being wrapped in the long filament 22A of majority that is taken into is not easy to come off from dirty seizure layer 1, because the dirty face of plate non-contiguously, so dirtyly just can not scratch cleaning face.
Because fusing department (junction) 26,27 is harder than dirty seizures layers 22 and cover layer 23, so have situation such as easy scuffing floor.But on dirty seizure layer 1, these fusing departments 26,27 relative seizure layers 22 and cover layer 23 are low-lying, so needn't worry to scratch floor etc.
The dirty seizure layer 1 of above-mentioned effect is along moving the wiping floor with long filament 22A vertical direction, and long filament 22A can scrape and get dirtyly, and will dirtyly be taken into easily in the dirty seizure layers 22.Therefore in Fig. 1, be installed in dirty wiping on the head 3 and get the long filament 22A of sheet material 1 and preferably extend to the length direction of head 3.
Fig. 5 is the structural map of another embodiment of the present invention, has identical section with Fig. 4.This dirty wiping is got sheet material 1 and is had the dirty cover layer 23 of catching layer 22 and covering this dirty seizure layer 22 at the upper and lower faces of basic unit 21.The dirty seizure layer 22 of above and below fusing department 26,27 with cover layer 23 in the same position fusion of relative basic unit 21.If the one side that sheet material 1 is got in this dirty wiping is dirty, the use another side can turn over.
In the present invention, basic unit 21 and cover layer 23 are using the occasion of nonwoven, can use 30% natural fiber and regenerated fiber of basic unit and cover layer weight.Basic unit 21, dirty seizure layer 22, cover layer 23 combine, and except using the fusion technology, also can use the adhesive technology of hot melt adhesive.When the perforate 24 of cover layer 23 when being little, can not combine at the inboard basic unit 21 and the dirty seizure layer 22 of perforate 24 yet.Cover layer 23 also can use the thermoplasticity built up membrane except using the nonwoven, and the surface of these materials has concave-convex type, strikes off the dirty better effects if of floor.
