BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cleaning tool with a handle for cleaning a cleaning surface such as a flooring, which is provided with a wiping sheet made of a chemical rag such as a non-woven fabric, and particularly sand or dust that is difficult to remove with the wiping sheet. The present invention relates to a cleaning tool with a handle that can be easily removed.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Recently, a cleaning tool with a handle called a flooring wiper has been used for cleaning a flooring floor of a general household. In this cleaning tool, a wiping sheet (chemical rag) having a function of mainly adsorbing dust is detachably attached to the lower surface of the pedestal.

Further, there is also used a roll-type cleaning tool for a carpet in which an adhesive sheet is wound in a cylindrical shape and a handle is attached. In this roll-type cleaning tool, an adhesive roll is rolled on a carpet, carpet or the like to mainly remove hair, sand, food and other relatively small solid dust.
Thus, in general households, it was necessary to prepare two types of cleaning tools having different functions.

On the other hand, the cleaning function of the wiping sheet and the cleaning function of the adhesive sheet are integrated into one cleaning tool.
Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 10-323320 proposes a cleaning tool that can selectively switch between them and selectively use them.

[0005]

A cleaning tool having a wiping sheet on a pedestal mainly absorbs dust by the wiping sheet, but hair, sand (dust), food and other relatively small solid dust are easily removed. Absent. Although the adhesive roll type cleaning tool can easily remove solid dust, it is suitable for cleaning a limited part such as a carpet or carpet, but is not suitable for cleaning a wide range.

On the other hand, the cleaning tool proposed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 10-323320 is large-scale and is difficult for a woman or a child to handle. Also, if you switch the wiping sheet and the adhesive sheet by mistake and slide it as it is, dust and solid dust attached to the wiping sheet and the adhesive sheet will conversely adhere to the cleaning surface side. As a result, this product is not suitable for general household use.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and provides a wiping sheet type cleaning tool with a handle which allows easy cleaning work, such as hair, sand (dust), food and other things which have been difficult to remove until now. An object of the present invention is to provide a cleaning tool with a handle and a pressure-sensitive adhesive adapter to be attached to the cleaning tool, which can easily remove relatively small solid dust.

[0008]

The gist of the present invention is a cleaning tool with a handle in which a wiping sheet is removably attached to the lower surface of a rectangular pedestal, and an adhesive adapter having the lower surface as an adhesive surface is attached to at least one side of the pedestal. It is more extended and attached to this pedestal.

Therefore, when the cleaning tool is carried by holding the handle and sliding the cleaning surface such as the flooring, the dust is adsorbed by the wiping sheet attached to the lower surface of the pedestal.
Hair, sand (dust), food, and other relatively small solid debris are hard to adsorb, so slide the cleaning tool back and forth and left and right to collect it in one place. Then, when the pressure sensitive adhesive adapter is pressed toward the cleaning surface with hands or feet, the pressure sensitive adhesive surface on the lower surface of the pressure sensitive adhesive adapter contacts the cleaning surface, and the collected solid dust is adhered to the pressure sensitive adhesive surface on the lower surface of the pressure sensitive adhesive adapter.

Further, the adhesive adapter of the present invention includes at least a part of an elastic substrate and an adhesive sheet attached to the lower part of the substrate. Moreover, the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is formed by laminating a plurality of pressure-sensitive adhesive papers so that the pressure-sensitive adhesive surface faces the lower surface so that they can be separated. The elastic substrate makes it easy to press the adhesive surface against the cleaning surface of the flooring. Moreover, when the pressure applied to the adhesive adapter is released, the adhesive surface easily separates from the cleaning surface and returns to its original position due to the elasticity of the elastic substrate. Further, since a plurality of adhesive papers are laminated so that they can be peeled off, if the adhesiveness becomes poor, the lowermost adhesive paper can be peeled off to remove dust with the next adhesive paper.

Further, the gist of the present invention is that the lowermost adhesive surface of the adhesive sheet is located slightly above the lower surface position of the pedestal. The adhesive adapter is configured so that its side edge does not protrude from the side edge of the pedestal.

Therefore, since the adhesive sheet is always located farther from the cleaning surface of the flooring, there is no fear that the adhesive sheet will interfere with the sliding of the cleaning tool. Further, since the side edge of the adhesive adapter does not protrude from the side edge of the pedestal, the adhesive adapter does not hit furniture etc. during cleaning.

The gist of the adhesive adapter of the present invention is to be removably attached to a pedestal of a cleaning tool with a handle, and an elastic substrate having an attachment portion extending from one side of the pedestal, and the attachment portion. The pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet comprises a plurality of pressure-sensitive adhesive sheets which are releasably laminated and whose lower surface serves as a pressure-sensitive adhesive surface. Therefore, the adhesive adapter can be easily attached to the currently used cleaning tool with handle,
It is also practical that a new adhesive paper can be used by peeling off the adhesive paper that can no longer be used.
