JP2003325414A - Broom - Google Patents

Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a broom which enables a user to use it in the case where fallen leaves, papers and the like stuck to roads and cleaning surfaces and they are difficult to be removed by sweeping only with an ordinary broom. <P>SOLUTION: Slender steel wires with a high strength as utilized for springs are used as material for bristles of the broom, and are bent upwards to the cleaning direction at the tip portion thereof and bundled to make bristles of the broom. Thus, the tips of the bristles are penetrated between the road surface and the fallen leaves and work to scrape the fallen leaves off from the road surface while taking dirt off the cleaning surfaces thereby enabling the cleaning of the fallen leaves stuck onto the roads as well. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hoke used for cleaning fallen leaves, dust and the like falling on a road or a cleaning surface.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When cleaning fallen leaves that have fallen on the road, hardened hoki or rakes are used because fallen leaves that get wet or stick to the road are difficult to peel off. Further, as a cleaning tool, as in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 05-084209, there is proposed one in which short fibers are planted at the tip of a flexible blade.

[0003]

The hoki is made of a flexible material, but its purpose is to collect it by sweeping, so basically the tips are straight and the function of stripping is taken into consideration. No, the fallen leaves stuck to the road were hard to peel off, and it was necessary to sweep the same place many times. In addition, the tip of the rake is bent almost at a right angle, but it is heavy like a stone mixed with dust and is convenient for scraping a large amount of dust, but it is a thick material to strengthen it. Since it is composed of a wide material and a wide material, it is necessary to sweep the same place many times to clean the fallen leaves stuck to the road, which is a problem that cleaning requires a lot of labor was there. Also, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 05-0842
In 09, a cleaning tool provided with a flexible blade in which short fibers are planted at the tip of the blade is proposed, but the cleaning mechanism is also different and it is not suitable for cleaning fallen leaves stuck to the road. It was Therefore, the present invention is intended to provide a hoke which has a function of removing not only ordinary dust but also fallen leaves stuck to a road by peeling it off from the road surface by improving the tip of the hoki.

[0004]

In order to solve the problems, according to the present invention, the spikes of the hoki are made of a slender steel wire which can be used as a spring, and the tips of the hokes are bent upward. It is characterized by that. By doing this, the tip of the hooki enters between the road surface and the fallen leaves, and the fallen leaves stuck to the road are peeled off by the tip of the hooki, and the fallen leaves stuck to the road can be cleaned.

[0005]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION In the embodiment of the present invention, a hoke is used so that a curved tip is directed in a cleaning direction, and it can be used to sweep a fallen leaf on a road with a normal hoke. Acts like peeling off cleaning items such as fallen leaves,
You can sweep the fallen leaves stuck to the road.

【Example】

(Embodiment 1) FIG. 1 is a schematic view for explaining the structure of a hoke according to the present invention in which the tip 3 is bent outward, and FIG. 2 is a partially enlarged view of the tip 3. In the example in which the ears 2 are made of stainless hard wire of about 0.5 mm that is also used as a spring material, the ears 3 have a spacing of about 3 mm and consist of one row. It is bent about 35 degrees upward. Since it is possible to peel off the fallen leaves and the like stuck on the curved tip 3 from the road surface, most of the fallen leaves can be moved by one operation. It can be used alone or can be used as a hoke that can be used for cleaning small dust by attaching it to the normal hoke cleaning direction.

FIG. 3 shows an embodiment in which the tips 3 are directed inward, which can be used when the width of the tips is not desired to be wide.

FIG. 4 shows an example in which the tips 3 are branched and can be used without specifying the cleaning direction.

FIG. 5 shows an example in which the tip 3 of the steel wire used for the spike 2 is covered with rubber 4 and the spike fixing portion is further vibration-isolated by the rubber 5, which has the effect of reducing work noise. In the case where the cleaning surface may be damaged by the tips, a plastic such as Teflon (R) having abrasion resistance or a ceramic having a smooth surface may be attached to the tips of the tips 3.

As described above, the present invention has the above-described structure. According to the present invention, it is possible to efficiently remove fallen leaves that have fallen on the road, and to efficiently clean the leaves.

Claims (3)

[Claims] 1. A hoke, a brush, or a brush (hereinafter, abbreviated as a hoke) used for bundling slender elastic materials to collect dust, which is used as a spike for ferrous or non-ferrous spring material, carbon fiber, high-strength plastic, or bamboo. Use a material that is hard and has a large elasticity (such as a steel wire), such as a straw. The tip of the spike is 15 ° to 60 ° above the cleaning direction of the hoke.
A hooki characterized by being bent in the range of °. 2. The cleaning method according to claim 1, wherein the steel wire forming the ear is covered, a vibration absorbing alloy is used for the steel wire itself, or rubber or plastic is inserted into a holding portion of the steel wire, thereby cleaning the steel wire. A hawk characterized by reducing the work noise generated. 3. The hoke according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the tip of the tip is covered with plastic or ceramics to prevent the cleaning surface from being damaged.
