Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To effectively clean a drain groove including corner parts by providing an elastic dewatering spatula with a corner part fitting to the corner parts between object surfaces to be cleaned so as to constitute a dewatering cleaning tool whose both corner parts inside is formed in the shape of a curved surface and is suited to use for cleaning the drain groove on the floor of a food factory. SOLUTION: The cleaning tool 1 is provided with a head 3 incorporated with a handle 2, and the dewatering spatula 4 having elasticity is integrally fixed to this head 3 through a holding frame 5. The frame 5 is produced by curve-molding a lip grooved material made of metal such as aluminum in a U-shape by setting an opening part between lips to the outer side. The knife 4 is formed with elastic material such as silicon to be provided with right and left two corner parts 6 and 7 in the shape of U by a plane view and in a shape fitting to the corner part of the drain groove to clean on an outer peripheral side. On the other hand, the knife 4 is large in thickness on the inner peripheral side and it is made thinner toward the outer peripheral side.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a drain cleaner.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, a drain in a floor of a food factory is shown in FIG.
As shown in the figure, both corners 15 and 16 inside the drainage groove 12 are formed in a curved surface shape according to food hygiene regulations.
Both corners 15, 16 can be cleaned with a mop or a broom.

[0003]

However, although mops and brooms can be cleaned by fitting them into the corners 15 and 16 inside the drain groove 12, the mops are so-called wet cleaning tools. However, it was not possible to cleanly remove water in the grooves during cleaning, and it was not necessarily a good cleaning tool in terms of hygiene. In addition, the broom has a problem that water easily escapes from between the shavings and requires labor to remove the water in the groove.

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention can clean the drainage ditch on the floor of a food factory as described above, including the corners, in a clean draining state with less labor. It is an object to provide a draining cleaning tool.

[0005]

The object of the present invention is to provide a water draining cleaning device having an elastic water draining spatula, wherein the spatula has a corner portion which fits into a corner between intersecting surfaces to be cleaned. Settled by the tool.

In other words, with this cleaning tool, the drainage can be cleaned neatly with less labor by using an elastic drainer. Moreover, since the spatula has a corner portion that fits into the corner between the intersecting surfaces to be cleaned, it is possible to use the corner to cleanly drain the corner.

[0007] Further, the spatula has a straight portion which is continuous with the corner portion and fits on both surfaces to be cleaned sandwiching the corner portion, so that only the corner portion is formed by using the straight portion and the corner portion. Instead, both surfaces to be cleaned sandwiching the corner can be simultaneously cleaned in a clean draining state.

[0008] Further, by providing a plurality of the above-mentioned draining spatula, and being provided in parallel in the front-rear direction so as to be adjacent to each other, the drainage of the cleaning tool can be further enhanced.

[0009]

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0010] In the cleaning tool 1 shown in FIG.
Is the head. The head 3 includes a spatula 4 having elasticity and a spatula holding frame 5.

The spatula holding frame 5 is manufactured by bending a metal lip grooved material such as aluminum or iron into a U-shape with the opening between the lips outside, and has a U-shaped opening side. It is provided facing upward.

The draining spatula 4 is made of an elastic material such as synthetic rubber or silicon, and is formed in a U-shape in a front view.
7 and three right and left and lower straight portions 8, 9, and 10. Each of the corner portions 6 and 7 is formed in a curved shape, and the straight portions 8, 9 and 10 are continuous through the corner portions 6 and 7. This drainer spatula 4
Is thicker on the inner peripheral side and gradually thinner toward the outer peripheral side, and the outer peripheral side is configured to be easily elastically deformed. Then, the inner peripheral thick part side is fitted into the frame 5 through the opening between the lips of the holding frame 5 so that the spatula 4 is firmly held by the frame 5.

FIG. 2 shows a state in which the cleaning tool 1 is used to clean the inside of the drainage groove 12 of the floor 11 of the food factory and the corner 14 where the wall 13 and the floor 11 intersect. I have.

When cleaning the inside of the drain groove 12, FIG.
As shown in (a), the lower straight portion 8 of the drainer 4 is elastically contacted with the bottom surface of the drain groove 12, and the one side linear portion 9 is elastically contacted with one side surface of the drain groove 12, and FIG. (B)
As shown in (1), the cleaning tool 1 is moved in the direction in which the drain groove 12 extends. As a result, the corner 6 between the straight portions 8 and 9 also elastically contacts the one corner 15 of the drain groove 12, and the corner 15 is drained cleanly. Also,
The lower straight portion 8 of the drainer 4 is elastically brought into contact with the bottom surface of the drain groove 12, and the other side linear portion 10 is brought into elastic contact with the other side surface of the drain groove 12, and is similarly moved. Thus, the corner 7 between the straight portions 8 and 10 is also elastically brought into contact with the other corner 16 of the drain groove 12, and the corner 16 is also drained cleanly. As described above, the inside of the drain groove 12 including both corners 15 and 16 is cleaned to a clean and drained state.
In addition, the corner portions 6 and 7 of the drainer spatula 4
The radius of curvature may be set to be the same as the radius of curvature of the corners 15 and 16 of, for example, 50 mm.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2A, the cleaning tool 1 can similarly clean the intersection corner 14 between the wall 13 and the floor 11 in a clean draining state. of course,
Using the lower linear portion 8 of the spatula 4 of the cleaning tool 1, the floor surface 11
It is also possible to perform cleaning.

In the modification shown in FIG. 3, a draining spatula 4 having an L-shape in a front view is used, and one corner portion 6 and two right and left and lower straight portions 8 are provided on the outer peripheral side thereof. , 9 are provided. In the cleaning tool 1, by rotating the spatula 4 back and forth in cleaning the drain groove 12, both corners 15 and 16 in the drain groove 12 can be drained. Intersection corner 14 between wall 13 and floor 11
The same applies to.

The modified example shown in FIG. 4 is provided with a plurality of drainers 4, for example, two as shown in the drawing, which are juxtaposed in front and rear adjacently, and is excellent in drainage performance.

Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. For example, the corner of the spatula may be formed in a rounded corner without roundness. This is effective when the corner to be cleaned is a sharp corner, and even when the corner is formed into a curved surface, the sharp corner due to the elasticity of the spatula. Can be fitted to the corners to clean the corners. Further, it goes without saying that the cleaning tool of the present invention can be conveniently used not only for cleaning food factories but also for cleaning various places having corners.

[0019]

As described above, since the cleaning tool of the present invention is provided with an elastic drainer spatula having corners, the corners of the surface to be cleaned intersecting and the corners of the spatula are removed. By using it, cleaning can be performed in a clean draining state with less labor. Therefore, for example, the drainage ditch of the floor of a food factory, including its corners, can be cleaned in a clean draining state with less labor.
