DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a metal curling device in which a predetermined amount of a flat thin metal wire curled in a continuous spiral is entangled with a mounting substrate provided with a handle. Metal handle with handle.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a metal curled scissor in which a predetermined amount of a flat metal thin wire curled in a continuous spiral has been entangled has a high rubbing force, so that it can be used to remove sticky dirt and rust around the kitchen. Widely used. However, such metal curling scourers are inherently irregular in shape, and thus have the disadvantage that they easily lose their shape when used, have poor shape retention, and become difficult to grasp quickly by hand. Was.

In order to solve such a defect, for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. Sho 57-166554 discloses a metal curled scissor in which a helical thin metal wire is entangled on a mounting board provided with an arbitrary number of needle-like projections. A metal scourer characterized by piercing the main body is described.

[0004]

However, since the above-mentioned metal scourer is simply obtained by simply sticking a metal curl scrubber main body to a mounting substrate provided with straight needle-like projections,
While the main body of the metal curl scrubber is in sliding contact with the object to be rubbed, it becomes a sandwich between the object to be rubbed and the mounting substrate, and cannot be unintentionally detached from the mounting substrate,
When the sliding contact is released, the sliding contact easily comes off the mounting board. Therefore, during the rubbing operation, a situation arises in which the metal curling scissors body detached from the mounting substrate must be reattached to the mounting substrate many times. In order to avoid this situation, it is sufficient to press the metal curling scrubber body against the mounting board with one hand every time the metal curling scrubber body separates from the object to be brushed during the scrubbing operation. It is rather troublesome.

In Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. 57-166554, a mounting board provided with needle-like projections and a metal curling scissor body are bonded with an adhesive or the like, and the metal curling scrubbing main body and the mounting board are bonded together. To prevent the separation of However, if the metal curling scrubber body is adhered to the mounting board, unintentional withdrawal of the metal curling scrubber main body from the mounting board as described above will surely be prevented. It is extremely difficult to arbitrarily remove the metal curling scrubber main body from the mounting substrate. Arbitrarily removing the metal curling scissors body from the mounting board here, avoiding the deteriorated part of the metal curling scouring body, reassembling the metal curling scrubbing body to the mounting board so that unused parts are exposed, Alternatively, it is performed to replace the entire metal curling scourer body.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned technical background, and although the metal curling scrubber main body and the mounting board are difficult to separate during the rubbing operation, the metal curling scrubber main body is not required. It is an object of the present invention to provide a metal scourer with a handle that allows the user to easily attach / detach a metal curled scissor main body to / from a mounting board when exchanging the scissors.

[0007]

The object of the present invention is to provide a flat plate having a handle provided on one surface of a mounting substrate and a large number of needle-like projections erected on the other surface of the mounting substrate, curled in a continuous spiral shape. A metal curled scissor body in which a predetermined amount of a thin metal wire is entangled is a handle-fitted metal scissor integrally attached to the mounting board in a state where the needle-shaped protrusion is inserted. This is achieved by a metal scourer with a handle, characterized in that an engaging portion for engaging with the thin metal wire is provided.

That is, in a state where the needle-like projection is inserted into the metal curling scrubber main body, the engaging portion provided on the needle-like protruding body and the curled metal fine wire constituting the metal curl scrubber main body are engaged with each other. Therefore, the main body of the metal curling scrubber hardly falls off from the mounting substrate during the rubbing operation.

The mounting substrate and the main body of the metal curl scrubber can be easily separated by pulling them with a certain force or more in the direction in which they are separated from each other. It can be easily assembled by pressing. Therefore, it is possible to easily reassemble the metal curled scissors body so that unused portions are exposed, avoiding the deteriorated portions of the metal curled scouring scaffolds. it can. Further, it is easy to replace only the metal curling scrubber main body, which is economically excellent.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the mounting substrate is provided with a holding hole opened toward the surface on the needle-like projection side, and a water-containing member such as a sponge or a nonwoven fabric protrudes from the surface of the mounting substrate. In this case, a configuration in which the holding holes are used is adopted.

[0011] By the water-containing member held in the holding hole,
The poor water retention of the metal curling scrubber body can be complemented.

Since the water-containing member has a portion protruding from the surface of the mounting substrate and a portion present in the holding hole, it is compressed between the metal curling scrubber main body and the mounting substrate during the cleaning operation. However, the water-containing member is not completely compressed. Therefore, the entire wetted member is compressed by the pressing during the rubbing operation, so that the contained detergent and the like do not flow out at once, and the contained water and the liquid such as the detergent gradually flow from the wetted member to the metal curling scourer main body. Can continue to supply.

[0013]

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

The metal scourer with handle (1) shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 is provided on a shallow circular bowl-shaped mounting substrate (2) made of synthetic resin, and protrudes from the center of the convex surface of the mounting substrate (2). A predetermined amount of a handle (3), a needle-like protrusion (4) standing on a concave surface, and a flat metal wire (9) curled in a continuous spiral form is wound and entangled to form a scoop. Metal curled scourer main body (5).

The needle-like projections (4) are arranged on the concave surface of the mounting board (2) at equal intervals and mutually parallel on the center of the mounting board (2) and on a plurality of concentric circles centered on the center. Has been established.

The needle-like projections (4) are made of a synthetic resin and are formed integrally with the mounting board (2). Thereby, it is possible to secure a strength capable of sufficiently resisting a strong force applied during the rubbing operation. Further, it can be manufactured efficiently, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

At the tip of the needle-like projection (4), an engaging portion (6) projecting over the entire circumference of the needle-like projection (4) in the radial direction.
Is provided. The distal end portion of the engaging portion (6) is substantially spherical, and the connecting portion with the needle-like projection (4) is substantially flat. Due to the shape of the engaging portion (6),
The needle-shaped projections (4) can be easily inserted into the metal curled scissors body (5) and can sufficiently engage with the curled metal fine wires (9).

The engaging portion (6) is formed by pressing the tip of a needle-shaped projection (4) against a heated mold after the molding. Therefore, the engaging portion (6) and the needle-like projection (4) are integral with each other, and of course the force applied during the rubbing operation is generated when the metal curling scissors body (5) is assembled or removed. Can withstand enough power.

The handle (3) has an inclined portion (7) projecting obliquely from the center of the mounting substrate (2), and is substantially parallel to the mounting substrate (2) from the base end of the inclined portion (7). And a gripping portion (8) extended in a shape.

By forming the handle (3) in such a shape, the mounting board (2) does not become an obstacle even if the grip (8) is gripped, and the metal curl scrubbing body ( 5) The force can be sufficiently applied.

The metal curling scissors body (5) is assembled to the mounting substrate (2) with the needle-like projection (4) inserted. In this state, the curled flat thin metal wire (9) constituting the metal curling scrubber main body (5) is entangled with the needle-like projection (4), and the engaging portion ( 6) is engaged. Due to the large number of needle-like projections (4) present in the metal curling scrubber main body (5), the metal curling scrubber main body (5) hardly loses its shape even when the washing operation is repeated. Also,
The engagement between the engaging portion (6) and the thin metal wire (9) makes it difficult for the metal curling scrubber main body (5) to come off from the mounting substrate (2) during the rubbing operation, and to loosen the thin metal wire (9). It is possible to maintain the excellent scrubbing power of the metal curling scrubber main body (5).

The metal curling device (5) and the mounting substrate (2) can be easily separated from each other by applying a certain force or more in a direction in which they are separated from each other. If the metal curling scrubber main body (5) is pressed against the mounting board (2) while being inserted into the scrubber main body (5), it can be easily assembled.

In other words, the metal curl scissors body (5) can be reassembled on the mounting board (2) so that the unused portion of the metal curl scrubber main body (5) is exposed, or a new metal curl scrubber body (5) can be used. Can be easily replaced.

Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 5 is a sectional view of a metal scourer with handle (1) according to another embodiment.

In this figure, (3) is a handle, (4) is a needle-like projection, and (6) is an engaging portion. The shape and the like are the same as those of the above-described embodiment. Since the shape of the handle (3) is the same as that of the above-described embodiment, it is not shown.

(2) is a mounting board. The mounting board (2) is formed in a shallow circular bowl shape. A holding hole (10) opening toward the concave surface is provided at the center thereof, and the holding hole (10) is provided at the center of the mounting substrate (2) on the convex side to secure the holding hole (10). A raised portion (11) corresponding to (10) is provided.

The holding hole (10) holds a water-containing member (12) made of a sponge for compensating for poor water retention of the metal curling scrubber body (5).

The water-containing member (12) has a holding hole (10).
It is set to a size that fills the entirety and further projects from the surface of the mounting substrate (2) to the same extent as the depth of the holding hole (10).

By setting the size of the water-containing member (12) as described above, the water-containing member (12) is moved between the metal curl scourer body (5) and the mounting substrate (2) during the rubbing operation. Even when compressed, the hydrated member (12) contracts only about half. Therefore, the detergent and the like contained in the water-containing member (12) do not flow out at once, and liquids such as water and detergent are gradually discharged from the water-containing member (12) by repeated compression and restoration during the rubbing operation. It is supplied to the metal curling scrubber body (5).

In the case of this embodiment, the handle (3) protrudes from the raised portion (11) of the mounting board (2). On the other hand, the needle-like projections (4) are provided upright on the concave surface of the mounting substrate (2) at equal intervals on a plurality of concentric circles extending outward from the periphery of the holding hole (10). I have.

In the present invention, the arrangement of the needle-like projections is not limited to the above-described embodiment. The position at which the engaging portion is provided is not limited to the tip of the needle-shaped projection, and may be provided at an intermediate portion of the needle-shaped projection. Further, a plurality of engagement portions may be provided on one needle-like projection. The shape may be spherical, conical or elliptical. Arbitrary shapes can also be adopted for the shape of the mounting substrate and the handle. For example, as the form of the handle, a disk-shaped one or a spherical-shaped one may be employed in addition to the handle-shaped one.

[0032]

As described above, in the metal scourer with handle according to the present invention, the needle-like protrusion is inserted into the metal curl scourer main body, and the engaging portion provided on the needle-like protrusion and the metal curl scourer are provided. Since the metal thin wires constituting the main body are engaged with each other, and the metal curl scrubber main body and the mounting substrate are integrally assembled, the mounting substrate and the metal curl scrubber main body may be moved during the rubbing operation. Separation becomes difficult. In addition, it is possible to prevent the metal curling scrubber main body from being deformed and the thin metal wire from fraying, thereby improving the durability of the metal curling scrubber main body.

Assembling of the metal curling scissors main body and the mounting substrate can be easily performed by pressing both so that the needle-like projections are inserted into the metal curling scouring main bodies, and the assembled two are separated from each other. Since the metal curl scrubber main body and the mounting board can be easily re-assembled, and the metal curl scrubber main body can be easily replaced by pulling the metal curl scrubber main body with the mounting board by pulling the metal curl scrubber in the direction with a certain force or more. Therefore, it is possible to provide an economical metal scourer that can effectively use the metal curl scrubber main body and the mounting board.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the water-containing member is held in the holding hole provided in the mounting board, it is possible to supplement the poor water holding ability of the metal curling scourer body.
Furthermore, since the water-containing member is made to protrude from the surface of the mounting substrate, the water-containing member is not completely compressed between the mounting substrate and the metal curling scrubber main body, and is not compressed during the rubbing operation. By repeating the above-mentioned restoration, the detergent soaked in the water-containing member is gradually supplied to the metal curling scourer main body.
