DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cleaning tool in which a handle and a base on which a cleaning cloth is mounted are detachably connected to each other so that the base can be easily replaced.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there has been widely known a cleaning tool in which a cleaning cloth is mounted on a base portion connected to a handle, and only the cleaning cloth is replaced after cleaning (see Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 2-119151). JP-A-10-179486, etc.).

[0003]

However, when waxing or the like is performed using such a cleaning tool, not only the cleaning cloth but also the base is often stained. Had to be wiped out. An object of the present invention is to solve such a conventional problem and to provide a cleaning tool in which not only the cleaning cloth but also the base can be easily replaced.

[0004]

The above objects are achieved by the inventions according to claims 1 to 3. The invention according to claim 1 is the cleaning tool, wherein the handle and the base on which the cleaning cloth is mounted are detachably connected. In this way, the handle and the base on which the cleaning cloth is mounted are detachably connected, so that the cleaning cloth and the base can be replaced together, and each time the replacement is performed, the dirt on both parts is wiped off. do not have to. Further, when the cleaning cloth is soiled, the cleaning cloth can be removed from the handle together with the base, and the stain on the base together with the cleaning cloth can be wiped without interference of the handle.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a base having a handle, a cleaning cloth adhered to a lower surface, and one engaging member of a hook-and-loop fastener attached to an upper surface, and a lower end of the handle. Attached,
A lower surface to which the other engaging member of the hook-and-loop fastener is adhered; and a joining portion of the joining portion is joined to an engaging member of the upper surface of the base portion, thereby forming a handle portion and a base portion. Are detachably connected to each other.

As a means for engaging and disengaging the handle and the base, for example, a simple locking means such as a hook can be employed. It is effective without requiring a disengagement operation.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, the base portion is
It is characterized by being formed by a cardboard or pulp mold provided with water resistance. These cardboard or pulp molds are lightweight and have the required strength, and can be easily washed with water because of their excellent water resistance, and are the most preferable materials for this type of base.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In the present invention, the method of detachably connecting a handle to a base is not particularly limited as long as it is easy to attach and detach and can be stably waxed. Various systems such as a system, a screwing system, a sandwiching system, a hook-and-loop fastener system, and an adhesive system are employed.

FIG. 1 is a front view schematically showing an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 5 denotes a base, and a lower surface of the base 5 is made of a nonwoven fabric, a woven fabric, or a knitted fabric. A cleaning cloth 6 made of a nonwoven fabric, a woven cloth, a knitted cloth, or the like, which acts as a female side fastener, is attached to the upper surface as shown in a top view of FIG. On the other hand, a connecting portion 2 for connecting the handle portion 1 and the base portion 5 is attached to a lower end of the handle portion 1, and a lower surface of the connecting portion 2 is provided with a male as shown in FIG. The side fastener 3 is stuck. Then, as shown in FIG. 1, when the male side fastener 3 of the connecting portion 2 is joined to the cloth 4 on the upper surface of the base portion 5, the handle portion 1 and the base portion 5 are integrally connected.

In the cleaning tool according to the present invention, the male side fastener 3 and the cloth 4 are pressed against each other during cleaning, so that they do not peel off during cleaning.
The connection between the handle 1 and the base 5 is firmly held. on the other hand,
The male side fastener 3 and the cloth 4 can be easily peeled off from each other similarly to a normal hook-and-loop fastener. Therefore, after cleaning, the dirty base portion 5 is peeled off from the joint portion 2 to form a new base portion. The base 5 can be easily replaced by joining the cloth 4 on the upper surface of the 5 to the male side fastener 3 of the connecting section 2.

The base of the cleaning tool according to the present invention can be made of a plate made of various materials such as resin, wood, paper, etc., but is inexpensive because it is discarded and incinerated after cleaning. It is desirable to minimize harmful gases generated during incineration from the viewpoint of the environment and the environment.From these points, it is preferable to use a corrugated cardboard or pulp mold that has been given water resistance so that it is not deformed or damaged during cleaning. In particular, these base materials using waste paper are more preferably used.

According to the present invention configured as described above,
Since the handle portion and the base portion of the cleaning tool are detachably connected, not only the cleaning cloth but also the base portion can be easily exchanged. In particular, as shown in the embodiment of the present invention as the connection method. When a simple surface fastener system is adopted, not only replacement is easy, but also waxing and the like can be performed extremely stably. Further, when the base is made of a cardboard or a pulp mold having water resistance, the production cost is reduced and disposal / incineration without environmental problems becomes possible.
