Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、被清掃物の表面に付着した塵や埃を叩き出して除去するのに適した清掃用品に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
布団やソファーなど、表面が繊維などからなる被清掃物の表面に付着、沈積した塵や埃を除去する際には、把手部の先端に木やプラスティックからなる押打部が設けられた用具を用い、前記押打部で物品の表面を叩くことにより、塵や埃を叩き出すという手法が用いられている。
【０００３】
しかし、被清掃物の表面を単に叩くだけでは、叩き出された埃が空中に散乱して周囲の空間に舞い上がり、さらには落下して被清掃物に再付着することもあって、衛生的ではない。
【０００４】
そこで、以下の特許文献１には、前記押打部を覆うごみ取り用カバーに関する考案が開示されている。このカバーの表面には粘着層が設けられており、物品の表面の埃やごみを前記粘着層で吸着できるようにしている。
【０００５】
【特許文献１】
実開平５−３１７６２号公報
【０００６】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかし、特許文献１に記載されている粘着層を有するカバーを取り付けて、前記押打部によりふとんやソファーなどの被清掃物を叩くと、前記粘着層が被清掃物の表面に粘着して、これら表面の生地を痛めるおそれがある。また生地を痛めないように粘着層の粘着力を弱くすると、埃を充分に取ることができなくなる。
【０００７】
また、特許文献１に記載のものは、ビニール製のカバーに粘着層が設けられたものであり、それ自体が通気性を有していないため、ふとんやソファーを叩くと、カバーを振ることにより風が発生して、ふとんやソファーからた叩き出した埃が舞い上がるのを避けることができない。
【０００８】
本発明は、上記従来の課題を解決するためのものであり、ふとんやソファーなどの表面の生地を痛めることなく、これらから叩き出した埃を確実に集塵できる清掃用品を提供することを目的とする。
【０００９】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、清掃頭部と、前記清掃頭部と一体に設けられまたは前記清掃頭部に着脱自在に設けられた把持部とを有し、
前記清掃頭部には、集塵部材を保持する保持部と、前記保持部に保持された集塵部材に対向する覆い部と、前記覆い部と覆い部との間から前記集塵部材に連通する開口部とが設けられていることを特徴とするものである。
【００１０】
この清掃用品では、前記清掃頭部でふとんやソファーなどの被清掃物を叩いたときに、清掃頭部の覆い部で前記被清掃物の表面が確実に叩かれるようになる。そして、覆い部によって被清掃物の表面から叩き出された埃やごみが開口部から集塵部材に与えられて集塵部材で確実に保持されるようになる。
【００１１】
例えば、前記清掃頭部は、互いに逆側に向けられる２つの清掃面を有して、それぞれの清掃面に前記覆い部と前記開口部とが現れており、前記２つの清掃面の間に前記保持部が設けられているものである。
【００１２】
本発明は、集塵部材の一方の側のみに覆い部と開口部が対向していてもよいが、両側に覆い部と開口部が対向していると、清掃頭部の両面を清掃に使用することができる。
【００１３】
また、前記保持部は、前記集塵部材の両側部が差し込まれる溝を有しており、この溝内に前記集塵部材を挟持する挟持手段が設けられていることが好ましい。
【００１４】
前記挟持手段が設けられていると、清掃頭部を振ったときに、清掃頭部から集塵部材が離脱するのを防止できる。
【００１５】
例えば、前記集塵部材は接着剤層を有しており、前記保持部に保持された集塵部材の前記接着剤層が前記覆い部および前記開口部に対向するものである。
【００１６】
集塵部材が接着剤層を有するものであると、覆い部で叩き出された埃が開口部を経て集塵部材の前記接着剤層に確実に接着されて保持されるようになる。また接着剤層が覆い部で覆われていると、接着剤層が直接に被清掃物に当たりにくくなり、接着剤層で被清掃物の生地表面を傷つけるのを防止できる。
【００１７】
また、前記集塵部材は、板状であり、この板を貫通する複数の貫通孔が形成されているものが好ましい。
【００１８】
集塵部材に貫通孔が形成されていると、清掃頭部で被清掃物を叩いたときに、空気が清掃頭部の開口部および集塵部材の貫通孔を抜けるようになるため、被清掃物表面の埃やごみが舞い上がるのを防止しやすい。
【００１９】
また、前記接着剤層と前記覆い部との間に隙間が形成されていることが好ましい。
【００２０】
このように構成することにより、集塵部材を清掃頭部に取り付けられた状態で、集塵部材と清掃頭部とが接着されるのを避けることができ、集塵部材の取り付けと取り外しが容易になる。
【００２１】
また、前記集塵部材は、多数の空隙を有する集塵層を有しており、前記保持部材に保持された集塵部材の前記集塵層が前記開口部に対向するものであってもよい。
【００２２】
このような集塵部材を用いると、埃やごみを集塵層の空隙で捕捉することができる。この場合に、前記集塵層に接着剤を付着させておくことがさらに好ましい。
【００２３】
また、前記清掃頭部の清掃面は、その中央部が隆起しているものであると、前記隆起している部分で、被清掃物のごみや埃を有効に叩き出すことができる。
【００２４】
【発明の実施の形態】
図１は、本発明の第１の実施の形態の清掃用品１を示す斜視図、図２は図１のＩＩ−ＩＩ線の断面図、図３は図１のＩＩＩ−ＩＩＩ線の断面図、図４は図１のＩＶ−ＩＶ線で断面した部分断面図、図５は集塵部材の斜視図である。
【００２５】
図１に示される清掃用品１は、本体部１０とこの本体部１０に保持される集塵部材３０を有している。本体部１０は、合成樹脂材料、軽金属、木材などの剛性があり耐衝撃性に優れた材料で形成されている。本体部１０は、全体が一体に形成され、あるいは各部分ごとに形成されたものが組み立てられて構成されている。
【００２６】
本体部１０は、清掃頭部１１と、この清掃頭部１１から延びる長尺状の把持部１２とを有している。清掃頭部１１と把持部１２は、一体であってもよいし、清掃頭部１１と把持部１２とが分離可能に組み立てられるものであってもよい。
【００２７】
前記清掃頭部１１は平板形状であり、図１ないし図３に示すように、広い面積の第１の清掃面１３と第２の清掃面１４とが互いに逆方向に向けられて形成されており、さらに小さい面積の両側面１５，１５および、小さい面積の後側面１６および前側面１７を有している。前記把持部１２は前記後側面１６に接合されている。
【００２８】
前記清掃頭部１１の内部には挿入空間１８が形成されている。そしてこの挿入空間１８の周縁に集塵部材３０を保持するために保持部１９が形成されている。この保持部１９は、図２に示すように、両側面１５，１５の内側に位置して縦方向に延びる保持溝１９ａ，１９ａと、図３に示すように、後側面１６の内側において横方向に延びる保持溝１９ｂとを有している。保持部１６を構成する保持溝１９ａ，１９ａおよび保持溝１９ｂは、前記挿入空間１８の周囲を囲むように形成されている。そして、前記前側面１７には、前記挿入空間１８および前記両保持溝１９ａ，１９ａに連通する挿入口２１が開口している。
【００２９】
図１に示すように、清掃頭部１１の第１の清掃面１３には、縦横に延びるリブとなる覆い部２２と、覆い部２２で囲まれた開口部２３とが形成されており、この開口部２３は挿入空間１８に連通している。この清掃頭部１１の第１の清掃面１３と第２の清掃面１４は対称構造であり、第２の清掃面１４にも、同様に覆い部２２と開口部２３とが形成されている。
【００３０】
図４に示すように、縦方向に延びる前記保持溝１９ａ，１９ａの内部には、挟持手段となる押圧部２５が設けられている。この押圧部２５は、保持溝１９ａ，１９ａの一方の壁部から突出して形成されている。好ましくは、この押圧部２５は弾性変形可能な金属板ばね材料で形成されている。あるいは前記押圧部２５が、前記保持溝１９ａ，１９ａの一方の壁部を構成する樹脂が突状に一体に隆起されているものであってもよい。
【００３１】
図１および図５に示すように、前記集塵部材３０は板状であり、手前には摘み部３１となる突起が一体に形成されている。集塵部材３０は使い捨てが可能なものであり、その基板３２は厚紙材で形成されている。基材３２の２つの表面には接着剤層３３が形成されている。この接着剤層３３は、ホットメルト型などの感圧接着剤で形成された層であり、塗布後に粘着力を維持できるものである。前記基材３２の２つの表面では、前記接着剤層３３が中央部分に塗布されており、前記摘み部３１が形成された前方部分には、接着剤層３３が設けられておらず、また前記保持溝１９ａ，１９ａおよび保持溝１９ｂに保持される周囲部分にも前記接着剤層３３が設けられていない。
【００３２】
前記集塵部材３０の前記接着剤層３３が形成されている部分には、基材３２を貫通する複数の貫通孔３４が間隔を開けて形成されており、この貫通孔３４を形成することにより、集塵部材３０が通気性を有している。
【００３３】
集塵部材３０の通気度Ｆは、単位時間（ｓ）で且つ単位面積（１ｍ^２）当たりに布を通過する空気の体積をＶ（ｍ^３／ｍ^２・ｓ）とし、このときの集塵部材の表裏の圧力差をΔＰとしたときに、Ｆ＝ΔＰ／Ｖで表される。清掃頭部１１で被清掃物を叩くときに、清掃頭部で過大な空気流を生じさせないようにするためには、前記ΔＰは、前記Ｖを０．０４（ｍ^３／ｍ^２・ｓ）としたときに、１５０ｍｍＨ_２Ｏ以上であることが好ましい。前記ΔＰを（Ｐａ）に換算して、前記通気度Ｆを求めると、Ｆは、２．７２×１０^−５（ｍ^３／ｍ^２・Ｓ・Ｐａ）以上が好ましい。
本実施の形態の清掃用品１の使用方法を説明する。
【００３４】
図５に示すように、清掃頭部１１に取付ける前の集塵部材３０では、基材３２の両面に形成された接着剤層３３，３３が離型シート３５により覆われている。前記離型シート３５を剥がし、摘み部３１を掴んで清掃頭部１１の挿入口２１から挿入空間１８内に挿入し、集塵部材３０の接着剤層３３，３３が形成されていない両側部を保持溝１９ａ，１９ａに挿し込む。集塵部材３０は両側部が保持溝１９ａ，１９ａに案内されて挿し込まれるとともに奥まで挿し込んだ時点で、集塵部材３０の挿入側の先部が、図３に示す保持溝１９ｂで保持される。
【００３５】
集塵部材３０が清掃頭部１１に保持された状態で、図１に示すように第１の清掃面１３と第２の清掃面１４の双方において、接着剤層３３，３３が覆い部２２で覆われるが、図２および図３に示すように、接着剤層３３，３３と覆い部２２との間には隙間が形成されて、接着剤層３３，３３が、覆い部２２に直接に当たらないようになっている。集塵部材３０の接着剤層３３，３３は、挿入空間１８内において清掃頭部１１のいずれの場所にも接着されないため、集塵部材３０を挿入し抜き出すのを容易に行うことができる。
【００３６】
この清掃用品１を用いた清掃作業では、把持部１２を手で掴み、清掃頭部１１を、ふとん、ソファー、ベッドマット、自動車のシートなどの被清掃物に打ち付ける。清掃頭部１１を被清掃物の表面に打ち付けると、第１の清掃面１３または第２の清掃面１４に設けられた覆い部２２で被清掃物の表面が叩かれ、被清掃物の表面に付着したごみや埃、さらには被清掃物の内部に付着したごみや埃を叩き出すことができる。叩き出されたごみや埃は、開口部２３から挿入空間１８内に入り、集塵部材３０の接着剤層３３に接着されて捕捉される。
【００３７】
このように、覆い部２２で叩き出されて被清掃物の表面から浮き上がったごみや埃が接着剤層３３によって直ちに吸着されて保持されるため、ごみや埃を周囲に飛散することなく、確実に捕捉できる。
【００３８】
集塵部材３０は多数の貫通孔３４を有して前記通気度が前記Ｆの範囲に設定されていると、清掃頭部１１で被清掃物を叩いたときに、清掃頭部１１と被清掃物の表面との間に発生する風を抑制でき、ごみや埃が周囲に飛散するのを防止でき、接着剤層３３で確実に保持できるようになる。
【００３９】
清掃頭部１１で被清掃物を叩いたときに、覆い部２２が被清掃物の表面に当たり、集塵部材３０の接着剤層３３が被清掃物の表面に直接に当りにくい構造であるため、接着剤層３３に被清掃物の表面の繊維が接着し、被清掃物の表面が傷むことが起きにくい。また接着剤層３３が覆い部２２で保護されているため、接着剤層３３の粘着力が低下するのを防止できる。
【００４０】
また、保持溝１９ａ，１９ａ内に設けられた押圧部２５により、集塵部材３０の両側部が保持溝１９ａ，１９ａ内で挟持されて保持されるため、清掃頭部１１を勢いよく振っても、清掃頭部１１から集塵部材３０が抜け出るのを防止できる。
【００４１】
集塵部材３０の接着剤層３３に多数のごみや埃が接着したときに、集塵部材３０を抜き出して廃棄し、新たな集塵部材３０を取付けて使用する。
【００４２】
図６は、他の実施の形態の集塵部材４０を示す斜視図である。
この集塵部材４０は、その全体が連続気泡を有するウレタンフォームなどの合成発泡材料で形成され、または熱可塑性樹脂繊維を少なくとも一部に含むエアースルー不織布、あるいはエアーレイド方式で堆積された前記繊維を接着剤で接着した繊維ウエッブで形成されている。この繊維ウエッブの周囲４２は、熱プレス、熱エンボス加工によりシート状または板状に圧縮されており、この周囲４２を清掃頭部１１の保持溝１９ａ，１９ａおよび保持溝１９ｂに挿し込むことができるようになっている。また、中央部分は前記合成発泡材料や繊維ウエッブにより多数の空隙が形成された集塵層４１となっている。この場合も、集塵層４１は、前記と同等の通気度を有していることが好ましい。
【００４３】
この集塵部材４０を清掃頭部１１に挿し込むと、集塵層４１が開口部２３に対向する。清掃頭部１１で被清掃物を叩いたときに、被清掃物から叩き出されたごみや埃が集塵層４１の多数の空隙で保持される。なお、集塵層４１でのごみや埃の捕捉力を高めるために、集塵層４１の表面あるいは集塵層４１の空隙の内部にも感圧接着剤が塗布されていることが好ましい。
【００４４】
図７は本発明の第２の実施の形態の清掃用品１Ａの本体部１０Ａを示す斜視図である。
【００４５】
この本体部１０Ａに設けられた清掃頭部１１Ａは、図１に示した清掃頭部１１と基本的な構造は同じである。ただし第１の清掃面１３と第２の清掃面１４には、挿入空間１８に連通する円形の開口部２３ａが複数箇所形成されており、開口部２３ａ以外の領域が覆い部２２ａとなっている。
【００４６】
図８は、本発明の第３の実施の形態の清掃用品１Ｂの本体部１０Ｂを示す斜視図である。
【００４７】
この本体部１０Ｂでは、清掃頭部１１の第１の清掃面１３と第２の清掃面１４のそれぞれの中央部分において、覆い部２３に隆起部２２ｂが形成され、第１の清掃面１３と第２の清掃面１３は、その中央部が他の部分よりも盛り上がった形状となっている。この清掃頭部１１の前記隆起部２２ｂで被清掃物を叩くことにより、被清掃物からごみや埃を効果的に叩き出すことができ、このごみや埃を開口部２３から集塵部材３０の接着剤層３３に接着させることができる。
【００４８】
なお、前記隆起部２２ｂの表面は平坦面であってもよいし、隆起部２２ｂがさらに中央部が高くなる曲面であってもよい。また、図７に示す実施の形態においても同様に隆起部を形成することができる。
【００４９】
なお、覆い部２２の表面から前記隆起部２２ｂの頂部までの高さ寸法は３〜８ｍｍが好ましい。
【００５０】
なお、本発明は前記実施の形態に限定されるものではなく、種々の変形が可能である。
【００５１】
例えば、清掃頭部１１の一方の面のみに覆い部２２と開口部２３が形成され、他方の面に開口部２３が形成されていなくてもよい。あるいは他方の面が全面的に開放されているものであってもよい。この場合、集塵部材３０は一方の表面にのみ接着剤層３３が形成されたものを使用可能である。
【００５２】
また、前記実施の形態では清掃頭部１１の前側面１７に挿入口２１が開口しているが、この挿入口２１が、後側面１６に形成されており、集塵部材３０を後側面１６から挿入できるようにしてもよい。このように構成すると、清掃頭部１１を勢いよく振ったときに、清掃頭部１１から集塵部材３０が離脱することを効果的に防ぐことができる。あるいは、挿入口２１が側面１５に開口しているものであってもよい。
【００５３】
【発明の効果】
以上詳細に説明した本発明では、集塵部材を覆う覆い部によって被清掃物が叩かれるため、覆い部の叩き力により被清掃物の表面あるいは内部のごみや埃を効果的に叩き出すことができ、叩き出した埃を、前記覆い部の下に位置する集塵部材で確実に捕捉することができる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a cleaning article suitable for knocking and removing dust and dirt adhering to the surface of an object to be cleaned.
[0002]
[Prior art]
When removing dust or dirt that has adhered to or deposited on the surface of an object to be cleaned, such as a futon or sofa, use a tool that has a stamping part made of wood or plastic at the tip of the handle part. A method is used in which dust or dust is knocked out by hitting the surface of an article with the hitting portion.
[0003]
However, simply hitting the surface of the object to be cleaned causes the dust that is struck out to scatter in the air and rise to the surrounding space, and then fall and reattach to the object to be cleaned. Absent.
[0004]
Therefore, the following Patent Document 1 discloses a device related to a dust removal cover that covers the pushing portion. An adhesive layer is provided on the surface of the cover so that dust and dirt on the surface of the article can be adsorbed by the adhesive layer.
[0005]
[Patent Document 1]
Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 5-31762 [0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, when a cover having an adhesive layer described in Patent Document 1 is attached and an object to be cleaned such as a futon or a sofa is struck by the pushing portion, the adhesive layer adheres to the surface of the object to be cleaned, There is a risk of damaging the surface fabric. Further, if the adhesive force of the adhesive layer is weakened so as not to damage the fabric, the dust cannot be removed sufficiently.
[0007]
Moreover, since the thing of patent document 1 is what the adhesive layer was provided in the cover made from vinyl, and itself does not have air permeability, when a futon or a sofa is hit, by shaking a cover, It is unavoidable that wind blows and dust blown from futons and sofas soars.
[0008]
The present invention is for solving the above-described conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a cleaning article that can surely collect dust struck out without damaging the surface fabric such as a futon or a sofa. And
[0009]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention has a cleaning head and a grip portion provided integrally with the cleaning head or detachably provided on the cleaning head,
The cleaning head communicates with the dust collecting member from between a holding portion that holds the dust collecting member, a cover portion that faces the dust collecting member held by the holding portion, and between the cover portion and the covering portion. And an opening to be provided.
[0010]
In this cleaning article, when the object to be cleaned such as a futon or a sofa is struck by the cleaning head, the surface of the object to be cleaned is surely struck by the cover of the cleaning head. And the dust and the dust which were knocked out from the surface of the to-be-cleaned object by the cover part are given to the dust collecting member from the opening part, and come to be reliably held by the dust collecting member.
[0011]
For example, the cleaning head has two cleaning surfaces directed opposite to each other, and the covering portion and the opening portion appear on each cleaning surface, and the cleaning head is between the two cleaning surfaces. A holding part is provided.
[0012]
In the present invention, the cover and the opening may be opposed to only one side of the dust collecting member, but when the cover and the opening are opposed to both sides, both surfaces of the cleaning head are used for cleaning. can do.
[0013]
Moreover, it is preferable that the said holding | maintenance part has a groove | channel into which the both sides of the said dust collection member are inserted, and the clamping means which clamps the said dust collection member in this groove | channel is provided.
[0014]
When the clamping means is provided, it is possible to prevent the dust collecting member from being detached from the cleaning head when the cleaning head is shaken.
[0015]
For example, the dust collecting member has an adhesive layer, and the adhesive layer of the dust collecting member held by the holding part faces the cover part and the opening part.
[0016]
When the dust collecting member has an adhesive layer, the dust struck out by the cover portion is securely bonded and held on the adhesive layer of the dust collecting member through the opening. Moreover, when the adhesive layer is covered with the covering portion, the adhesive layer is less likely to directly hit the object to be cleaned, and the cloth layer of the object to be cleaned can be prevented from being damaged by the adhesive layer.
[0017]
The dust collecting member is preferably plate-shaped and has a plurality of through holes penetrating the plate.
[0018]
If the dust collection member has a through-hole, when the object to be cleaned is struck by the cleaning head, air will pass through the opening of the cleaning head and the through-hole of the dust collection member. It is easy to prevent dust and dirt on the surface of the object from flying up.
[0019]
Moreover, it is preferable that the clearance gap is formed between the said adhesive bond layer and the said cover part.
[0020]
With this configuration, it is possible to avoid adhesion of the dust collecting member and the cleaning head in a state where the dust collecting member is attached to the cleaning head, and easy attachment and removal of the dust collecting member. become.
[0021]
The dust collection member may have a dust collection layer having a large number of voids, and the dust collection layer of the dust collection member held by the holding member may be opposed to the opening. .
[0022]
When such a dust collecting member is used, dust and dust can be captured in the gap of the dust collecting layer. In this case, it is more preferable to adhere an adhesive to the dust collection layer.
[0023]
In addition, if the central portion of the cleaning surface of the cleaning head is raised, dust and dust of the object to be cleaned can be struck out effectively at the raised portion.
[0024]
