Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cleaning tool for wiping a surface to clean such as a floor, a tatami mat and the like with which tool dusts are effectively removed and does not leave dusts that is not adhering to but is pushed and moved around the wiping member when the tool is drawn. SOLUTION: A protruding part 3 which is continuously protruding on a pressure ring surface 2 of a holder 1 to which a wiping member 10 is attached, is formed in the perpendicular direction to the direction in which the tool is pushed and drawn. Two faces, a front side face 4 and a back side face 5, which intersect at the protruding part 3 with a certain angle, are formed. Between the holder 1 and a handle bar 6, an intermediate bar 7 is inserted to joint the holder 1 and the handle bar 6. On one end of the intermediate bar 7, a rotating joint 8 is used to connect with the holder 1. On the other end of the intermediate bar 7, a universal joint 9 is used to connect with the handle 6.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cleaning tool capable of efficiently and efficiently using a surface of a wiping member such as a fiber, a cloth, and a nonwoven fabric.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional cleaning tool in which a handle is provided on a holding member to which a wiping member is attached, the holding member has a pressing surface serving as a portion for pressing the wiping member against a cleaning surface such as a floor or a tatami mat surface. It was one plane.

[0003]

In the conventional cleaning tool, since the pressing surface of the holding body is one surface, when the holding portion is slid back and forth with the handle bar, the wiping member can be removed. The peripheral edge will first wipe off dust and dirt. Then, if dust adheres appropriately to the peripheral portion, the next dust cannot be taken in, and only the dust is pushed. That is, when the cleaning tool is pushed and then pulled,
Dust that cannot be wiped off remains at the peripheral edge portion of the wiping member, and there is a disadvantage that the central portion of the wiping member cannot be used efficiently.

[0004]

According to the present invention, there is provided a cleaning tool which is parallel to a direction of pushing and pulling a convex portion (3) which is convex and continuous with a pressing surface (2) of a holding body (1). It is provided in the horizontal direction. The front side surface (4), which is the front side to be pushed forward, and the rear side surface (5), which is the rear side to be pulled back, intersect at an angle at the projection (3). An intermediate bar (7) is provided at a portion connecting the holder (1) and one end of the handle bar (6). A connection between one end of the intermediate rod (7) and the holder (1) is connected by a rotary joint (8) that rotates in a direction parallel to the pushing and pulling direction, and the other end of the intermediate rod (7) is connected to the handle. The rod (6) is connected to one end serving as an action point by a universal joint (9) that makes a circular motion on both the left and right sides.

When the holder (1) is slid with the handle (6), the point of action of the handle (6) serving as a universal joint (9) is shifted from the center position of the holder (1) in the sliding direction. Moves to the opposite edge. Due to the movement of the action point, the edge portion on the traveling side of the holding body (1) rises like a seesaw having the projection (3) as a fulcrum. Then, when the sliding is stopped and the point of action of the handle bar (6) is moved to the opposite side and then pulled back, the raised edge portion comes down and comes into contact with the floor surface, etc., and the edge portion which has been in contact up to now rises. Will be. At this time, the dust pressed by the sliding edge portion of the projection (3) falls under the wiping member (10). If you pull it back in this state, you can wipe it. In this way, by moving the universal joint (9) serving as the point of application of the handle bar (6) back and forth and sliding the holder (1) back and forth for cleaning, it can be taken in at the edge. You can wipe away the dust that was pushing and moving without it.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS As one embodiment of a cleaning tool according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, a wiping member 10 is attached to a holder 1, and the wiping member 10 is attached to a floor or a tatami mat. The cleaning tool removes dirt and dust by moving the handle 6 back and forth while pressing against the cleaning surface. The pressing surface 2 pressing the wiping member 10 of the holding body 1 against a cleaning surface such as a floor or a tatami mat surface has a lateral direction that is not parallel to a direction in which the convex portion 3 having a convex shape is pushed and pulled. It is provided in a continuous state, and a front side 4 which is a front side to be pushed forward with the convex portion 3 as a boundary and a rear side 5 which is a rear side to be pulled back intersect at an angle.

The handle bar 6 provided on the holder 1 is not directly connected to the holder 1, but has an intermediate bar 7 interposed therebetween. The connection between the intermediate rod 7 and the handle rod 6 is formed by a universal joint 9 that makes a circular motion in both the left and right directions, and the connection between the intermediate rod 7 and the holder 1 is rotated in a direction parallel to the pushing and pulling direction. It is formed by the joint 8. Since such an intermediate bar 7 is interposed, the point of action of the handle bar 6 for pushing and pulling the holder 1 with the handle bar 6 is opposite to the sliding direction from the center position of the holder 1. It is possible to move to the edge portion. If this action point moves to the edge portion of the holding body 1, the front side surface 4 and the rear side surface 5 will float or come into contact with the floor surface or the like like a seesaw with the convex portion 3 as a fulcrum. .

As a method of operating the handle bar 6, as shown in FIG. 2, the universal joint 9 serving as an action point of the handle bar 6 is moved to the edge portion of the rear side surface 5 and pushed to push the holding body 1 back. Move and clean. At this time, the front side surface 4 is raised from a cleaning surface or the like, and the convex portion 3 serving as a sliding edge portion of the rear side surface 5 collects dirt and dust and wipes off the rear side surface 5. When pulling back after pushing, as shown in FIG. 3, when the universal joint 9 is moved to the edge portion of the front side surface 4 and then pulled, the front side surface 4 comes into contact with the floor surface or the like and presses down the collected dust. When the side surface 5 rises, the convex portion 3 becomes a sliding edge portion, and the front side surface 4 wipes and cleans. Naturally, it is possible to perform cleaning by pulling the universal joint 9 serving as the tip of the handlebar 6 while leaving it on the rear side surface 5 or pushing it while leaving it on the front side surface 4.

As another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, a bar-shaped convex portion 3 is provided on one surface of a pressing surface 2 of a holder 1 in a lateral direction which is not parallel to the pushing and pulling direction. The convex portions 3 may be arranged in a discontinuous state. The operation method of the handle 6 does not change. Further, it is possible to consider a configuration in which a plurality of convex portions 3 are provided. As shown in FIG. 5, a large number of convex portions and a large number of front side surfaces 4 and rear side surfaces 5 are provided on the holding body 1. It is considered something. The handle bar 5 is not limited to a long bar shape, and may be formed by two intermediate bars 7 and a handle 11 as shown in FIG.

[0010]

When the cleaning tool according to the present invention is used, dust that has been pushed and moved without being wiped off at the peripheral edge portion of the wiping member 10 can be pressed and wiped off by the surface of the wiping member 10; This is a cleaning tool that can efficiently and effectively use the surface of the wiping member 10.
