Next, attachment of the cloth W will be described. As shown in FIG. 9, in a state where the rotation holding plate 14 is rotated with respect to the fixed holding plate 13, the cover member 1 is rotated.
One upper cloth 2 of the rag W is inserted into the gap between 0 and the fixed holding plate 13, and the fixed holding plate 13 is inserted into the bag portion 3. Next, the rotation holding plate 14 rotated downward is inserted into the other bag portion 3 of the rag W. Then, while rotating the rotation holding plate 14 in the direction of the cover member 10, as described above, the umbrella-shaped bulging portion 14 g ′ of the male engagement member 14 g formed on the rotation holding plate 14 is Cylindrical body 10 of cover member 10
The rotation holding plate 14 is attached to the cover member 10 via the female engagement member 15 by engaging with the engagement protrusion 15c of the elastic plate member 15b of the female engagement member 15 inserted in h. As described above, the rag W is removed by inserting a finger into the through-hole 10i formed in the cover member 10 and pushing the female engagement member 15 downward, so that the female engagement member 15 can be removed. By disengaging the engagement with the male engaging member 14g formed on the rotation holding plate 14, the rotation holding plate 14 is rotated downward, and the one bag portion 3 of the rag W is disengaged from the rotation holding plate 14. Then, the other bag portion 3 of the rag W is removed from the fixed holding plate 13. Reference numeral 10j denotes a semicircular projecting plate protruding from the back surface near both ends in the direction of the major axis 10a of the cover member 10, and includes a gap between the cover member 10 and the fixed holding plate 13 and the cover member 1
The upper cloth 2 of the rag W inserted into the gap between the rotation holding plate 14 and the rotation holding plate 14 is fixed to the fixed holding plate 13 by the semicircular projecting plate 10j.
By pressing in the direction and the direction of the rotation holding plate 14, the rag W is configured not to move with respect to the cover member 10, the fixed holding plate 13, and the rotation holding plate 14. As described above, the rag W is attached to the rag W by the cover member 10, the fixed holding plate 13 fixedly attached to the cover member 10, and the rotatable holding plate 14 rotatable with respect to the fixed holding plate 13. The mounting member M is configured.

The above-described cover member 10 and intermediate block 1
2, fixed holding plate 13, rotating holding plate 14, female engaging member 1
5. The support pedestal member 16 is integrally formed of a synthetic resin.
Since it is possible to assemble only by using 7 ′ and 17 ″, a mop which has a small number of parts and is inexpensive and hard to break down can be realized.

When the mop is assembled, as described above, the fitting block 16 "is inserted into the concave portion 13e formed on the upper surface of the fixed holding plate 13, and the lower surface of the fitting block 16" Since the upper surface of the fixed holding plate 13 located in the concave portion 13e is brought into contact with the upper surface of the fixed holding plate 13, the support base member 16 is fixed. The support base member 16 in such a fixed state
, An intermediate block 12 is attached via coil springs 17 ′ and 17 ″.
A rod-shaped handle 11 is provided via the connecting member 11c. The axis of the horizontal pin 12a formed in the intermediate block 12 is configured to be parallel to the major axis 10a of the cover member 10 and perpendicular to the minor axis 10a 'of the cover member 10, and Block 12
The center line of the through hole 12b formed in the upper part of the cover member 10 is configured to be parallel to the minor axis 10a 'of the cover member 10 and perpendicular to the major axis 10a of the cover member 10.

Therefore, the rod-shaped handle 11 is rotatable about the connecting member 11c in the direction of the major axis 10a of the cover member 10, and the rod-shaped handle 11 is shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. So that it can rotate to a substantially horizontal state. As described above, the handle 11
Hole 11 formed in the lower end of the fork and formed in the forked part 11a
b and a female pin 11d with a flange, which constitutes the connecting member 11c, is inserted into a through hole 12b formed in the upper part of the intermediate block 12 inserted into the forked portion 11a, and a cylindrical portion 11d 'of the female pin 11d with a flange. The handle 11 is connected to the intermediate block 12 via the connecting member 11c by inserting the forked leg 11e 'of the male pin 11e with a flange constituting the connecting member 11c into the connecting member 11c. In this case, the handle 11 is easily collapsed by its own weight.

An intermediate block 12 is attached to the fixed support base member 16 via coil springs 17 'and 17 "as spring members. The intermediate block 12 is connected to the intermediate block 12 via a connecting member 11c. Handle 11
Is disposed, the cover member 10 and the fixed holding plate 1
The rag W attached to the rotation holding plate 3 and the rotation holding plate 14 does not freely rotate in the direction of the minor axis 10a 'of the cover member 10. Then, while maintaining the state in which the back surface of the rag W is in contact with the floor or the like, the rod-shaped handle 11 is moved against the cover member 10 against the urging force of the coil springs 17 ′ and 17 ″.
When the bar-shaped handle 11 is lifted and the rag W is separated from the floor or the like even when the cover member 10 is tilted in the direction of the short diameter 10a ', the cover member 10 is moved by the urging force of the coil springs 17' and 17 ". Is returned to a standby state perpendicular to the stick-shaped handle 11. When the mop is used instead of a broom, the sweeping direction, that is, the reciprocating direction of the rag W is set to the major axis 10a of the cover member 10. By reciprocating the mop in such a direction, the wider width of the rag W can be used, so that efficient sweeping using the mop can be performed. When the wipe W is reciprocated in such a direction, the wipe W does not fluctuate in the short diameter direction of the cover member 10 due to the urging force of the coil springs 17 ′ and 17 ″. Cleaning floors and tatami mats Can be.

[0030]

Since the present invention has the above-described structure, the following effects can be obtained.

When the rag is reciprocated, the rag does not fluctuate in the short diameter direction of the cover member due to the urging force of the spring member, so that the floor, the tatami, and the like can be thoroughly cleaned.
