FIG. 3 shows a partially enlarged side view of the flocked cloth, and FIG. 4 shows a top view of the wiping device shown in FIG. 1 with a sheet-like cleaning member attached. FIG. 5 is a side view of the wiping cleaning tool shown in FIG. 1 in a state where the sheet-like cleaning body is mounted, and FIG.
(A) and (b) are partially enlarged side views of the flocking cloth with the sheet-like cleaning body attached.

[0011] The wiping cleaning tool 10 in this embodiment.
Has a base portion 12 formed of a substantially rectangular plastic injection molded article or the like, and has a predetermined angle (for example, about 22 degrees (see FIG. 2)), the operation handle 14 is provided upright.

A cross catch 18 having cutouts 18a for holding a sheet-like cleaning body 16 such as a chemical cloth on the base 12 is provided on both left and right sides of the upper surface of the base 12. Have been.

Further, on a lower surface 12a of the base portion 12, a flocked cloth in which a pile 20b made of chemical fiber, cotton, or silk is planted by electrostatic flocking with respect to a base fabric 20a made of nonwoven fabric or woven fabric. 20 is fixed using fixing means such as an adhesive or a pin.

In this flocking cloth 20, FIG.
As shown in the figure, piles 20b are implanted with a high density and substantially perpendicular to the base cloth 20a.

Here, the base cloth 20a constituting the flocking cloth 20
The pile 20b is formed, for example, with a composition and dimensions as shown in the table of FIG.

Specifically, the base cloth 2 constituting the flocking cloth 20
0a is, for example, a nonwoven fabric of a polyester composition,
The basis weight is 70 g / m ² .

On the other hand, the pile 20b constituting the flocking cloth 20
Is, for example, a polyamide having a composition of 17 dT
ex to 65 dTex (preferably 17 dTex or 22 dTex), and the length is 2.0 mm to
3.0 mm (preferably 2.0 mm or 2.5 mm
Or it is 3.0 mm. ) And the basis weight is 240 g /
m ^{2 to} 300 g / m ² (preferably 240 g / m ² or 250 g / m ² or 290 g / m ² ).

The most preferred example of the pile 20b is as follows.
The composition is polyamide, the fineness is 17dTex,
The length is 2.5 mm and the basis weight is 250 g / m ² . At this time, the base fabric 20a has a composition of polyester, a basis weight of 70 g / m ² , a urethane-based binder applied at 600 g / m ^2, and an acrylic-based adhesive material of 70 μm. When applied with a thickness, the number of flocks of the pile 20b per cm ² is 5
900 pieces (see FIG. 8), and the above-described flocking cloth 2
0 can be produced by a so-called down type electrostatic flocking, but in the points described below,
This is significantly different from the conventional method.

That is, regarding the balance of “denier (fiber degree (dTex)) / cut length (length (mm))” of the pile 20 b, unlike the conventional one, the aspect ratio is in the range of “40 to 45”. Is preferred. For example, a fiber having a fiber degree of 17 dTex and a length of 2.0 mm has an aspect ratio of “44” and is included in the above range.

Next, in this flocking cloth 20, unlike the conventional electrodeposition treatment agent, an aqueous solution of an inorganic ultra-fine particle colloid having a small particle size is used as an electrodeposition treatment agent for producing the pile 20b. By performing a surface treatment on the pile in a predetermined PH region, a pile with high flying property is obtained.

As the antistatic agent used in the electrodeposition treatment agent, a surfactant having a higher affinity for the fiber is selected to improve the adhesion to the pile.

Further, by controlling the dehydration rate after the electrodeposition treatment, the amount of the electrodeposition treatment agent attached is improved as compared with the conventional pile, so that a pile having high flight property is obtained.

Next, in this flocking cloth 20, unlike the conventional binder, a urethane-based binder having a high degree of polymerization is used, and a type having a strong water resistance of the resin film is selected from these and used. I have.

As the crosslinking agent, one having high reactivity and high crosslinking property is used.

[0025] By increasing the amount of binder applied compared to the conventional electrostatic flocking, flocking can be performed densely, and a flocking cloth having high water resistance can be obtained. .

In the present embodiment, a urethane-based emulsion binder is used as the urethane-based binder, but a solvent-type binder is preferable in terms of water resistance.

However, in consideration of the natural environment and the working environment, it is more preferable to use a urethane emulsion binder.

FIG. 7 is a conceptual explanatory diagram of an electrostatic flocking device used for manufacturing the flocking cloth 20. In addition, as a process of manufacturing the flocking cloth 20, as in the related art, an adhesive is applied to the base cloth 20a after printing the binder on the base cloth 20a, and then the pile 20b is electrostatically flocking by the electrostatic flocking apparatus. It has been made to be.

In this electrostatic flocking device 100, the pile 20b is filled, and the filled pile 20b is filled.
Pile hopper 102 and pile hopper 10 as pile hoppers for supplying to the flocking surface 20aa of base cloth 20a
4 and two pile hoppers are installed in two stages.

In the pile hopper 102 at the beginning of the direction in which the base cloth 20a flows, the supply amount of the pile 20b is suppressed while the applied voltage is reduced. On the other hand, the base cloth 2
In the pile hopper 104 next to the pile hopper 102 in the flow direction of 0a, the applied voltage is increased to increase the density of the pile 20b so as to implant the flocks.

With respect to the beater bar (not shown), in order to increase the vibration force, the number of bars attached to the rotating shaft is suppressed as much as possible to increase the number of rotations to give a moderately strong fine vibration. A uniform and highly dense flocking cloth can be obtained.

Further, by increasing the applied voltage higher than usual and further reducing the line speed (the speed at which the base cloth 20a flows), a uniform and highly dense flocking cloth can be obtained.

In this flocking cloth 20, after the pile 20b is electrostatically flocks onto the base cloth 20a, a water-repellent agent is sprayed using a spray device, and after a predetermined time, the baking is performed, and the flocking cloth 20a is waterproofed. Is provided.

In the above structure, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a rectangular sheet-like cleaning body 16 is wound on the lower surface side of the base portion 20 on which the flocking cloth 20 is provided, and End portions 16a, 1a of the opposite side ends of the cleaning body 16
6b is pushed into the cross catch 18 from the notch 18a, and these ends 16a and 16b are locked by the notch 18a.

At this time, the pile 20b of the flocking cloth 20 bites into the sheet-like cleaning body 16, and the sheet-like cleaning body 16 can be attached so as not to be easily displaced from the bottom surface of the wiping cleaner 10.

The wiper 10 with the sheet-like cleaning body 16 attached in this manner is placed on the surface P to be cleaned, such as a screen or a window, and the user grips the operation handle 14 and
The base member 12 is slid on the surface P to be cleaned by the operation, thereby causing a cleaning target such as particulate dust or fibrous dust on the surface P to be cleaned to adhere to the sheet-like cleaning body 16, and It is capable of collecting substances.

Here, the above-mentioned cleaning action will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (b).
If the cleaning surface P is a smooth surface as shown in FIG.
The sheet-like cleaning body 16 is pressed against the cleaning surface P by an appropriate elastic action due to the bending of 0b, so that the cleaning surface P can be efficiently cleaned.

On the other hand, if the cleaning surface P is an uneven surface as shown in FIG. 6B, the pile 20b bends in accordance with the unevenness of the cleaning surface P. As in the case of the smooth surface, the sheet-like cleaning body 16 is pressed against the cleaning surface P by an appropriate elastic action due to the bending of the pile 20b, so that the cleaning surface P can be efficiently cleaned.

By making the pile 20b thick and long, a part of the pile 20b penetrates through the sheet-like cleaning body 16, and the tip of the pile 20b together with the sheet-like cleaning body 16 comes into direct contact with the cleaning surface P. The pile 20
The tip of b functions like a brush, so that a cleaning effect by the brush can be obtained.
