Description

【0001】
【産業上の利用分野】
本発明は、パーソナルコンピューターのキーボードにおいて、キースイッチ間の溝内に付着したダストを掃除するためのキーボード掃除具に関する。
【0002】
【従来の枝術】
従来より、パーソナルコンピューターのキーボードにおいて、キースイッチ間の溝内に付着したダストを掃除する道具として、先端部に箒状の化学繊維を設けたキーボード掃除具等、布等を先端部に設けた掃除具等が知られている。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、従来の掃除具では、キーボードのキースイッチ間に存在するダストを十分に拭き取ることができなかった。
【0004】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、これらの従来の掃除具の欠点を改良し、キーボードのスイッチ間のダストを効果的に取り除くことが可能な掃除具を提供するものであり、手持部材と、該手持部材から延設させた平板状の挿入部材と、該挿入部材の先端部の若干部分のみが湾曲可能な掃除部から構成されたものである。そして、先端部の掃除部と挿入部材が一体的に形成されると共に、少なくとも前記掃除部にダスト吸着用の拭き取り部材が被覆されていることを特徴とする。
【0005】
【作用】
本発明は、上記の如く構成することで、キーボードにおけるキースイッチ間の、特に、隙間から見えないスイッチ周辺部に付着したダストを吸着して取り去ることが可能である。
即ち、本発明は、手持部材と、該手持部材から延設させた平板状の挿入部材から成るへら状の掃除具に対して、挿入部材の先端部の若干部分のみが湾曲可能な掃除部を設けている。これにより、キースイッチ間の溝部に挿入させた挿入部材をキーボードの底部へ押し付けると、その先端部分の掃除部のみが湾曲するので、キートップの裏面側に付着したダストへ先端部が届くことになる。
そして、先端部分の掃除部には、ダスト吸着用の拭き取り部材が被覆されていることから、この拭き取り部材により、ダストを効果的に取り去ることが可能である。
【0006】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、発明の実施例について、実施例の図面に基づき説明する。
図1は、本発明のキーボード掃除具の概観図である。
【0007】
図示の如く、本発明のキーボード掃除具1は、主に、手持部材2と、該手持部材2から延設させた平板状の挿入部材3から構成されている。これらの内、少なくとも挿入部3は、キースイッチのキートップK・K間の溝に挿入できる厚みで形成されると共に、比較的硬質のプラスチック材から形成される。そして、挿入部材3の先端部の若干部分のみが湾曲可能に掃除部4として構成されている。これらの各部は、一体的に形成されることが可能であるが、少なくとも、先端部の掃除部4のみは、薄肉状にして湾曲可能に構成される。
【0008】
即ち、図2の本発明に係わるキーボード掃除具の使用状態を示す側面概要図に示される如く、前記掃除部4は、その先端をキーボードのキースイッチ、詳細には、キートップK・K間の溝の底部へ押し付けた際に、その部分のみが、キートップKの裏面直下のスプリング外周に至る十分な長さ部分が湾曲することが好ましい。このため、掃除部4を挿入部3と別体の部材にて形成することも可能であるが、一体の場合は、掃除部4となる部分のみを薄肉として形成することで実現される。
【0009】
そして、少なくとも前記掃除部4には、ダストD吸着用の拭き取り部材5を被覆させる。この拭き取り部材は、溝内のダストを効果的に吸着させる化学繊維系の材質が選択される。また、被覆部分は、キースイッチのキートップKに引っかかることで剥離しないよう、たとえば、掃除部4を底部に押し付けて湾曲させた際に、キートップの上端部程度に露出する部位まで被覆されることが好ましい。
【0010】
このようにして、構成された本発明のキーボード掃除具1は、キーボードにおけるキースイッチ間の、特に、隙間から見えないスイッチ周辺部に付着したダストDを吸着して取り去ることが可能である。
【0011】
本発明のキーボード掃除具1を使用するに際しては、先ず、手持部材2を手で持ち、キースイッチ間の溝部挿入部材3を挿入させる。この際、キーボードの底部へ先端部を押し付けると、その先端部分の掃除部4のみが湾曲するので、キートップKの裏面側に付着したダストDへ先端部が届くことになる。そして、先端部分の掃除部には、ダストD吸着用の拭き取り部材5が被覆されていることから、溝に沿ってこれを動かすことで、拭き取り部材5により、見えないダストDを効果的に取り去ることが可能である。
【0012】
【発明の効果】
本発明のキーボード掃除具は、前記の如く構成したので、従来では取りにくかったキースイッチ間の溝内、詳細には、キートップの裏面直下に存在するダストを容易且つ効果的に取り去ることが可能になった。また、掃除部の被覆部分を交換することで、経時に亘る使用が可能な有意義な発明である。

[Industrial applications]
The present invention relates to a keyboard cleaner for cleaning dust attached to a groove between key switches in a keyboard of a personal computer.
[0002]
[Conventional branch surgery]
Conventionally, in a keyboard of a personal computer, as a tool for cleaning dust adhered in a groove between key switches, a cleaning tool provided with a cloth or the like at a tip portion, such as a keyboard cleaner having a broom-shaped chemical fiber at a tip portion. Tools are known.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, with the conventional cleaning tool, dust existing between key switches of the keyboard cannot be sufficiently wiped.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention improves the drawbacks of these conventional cleaning tools, and provides a cleaning tool capable of effectively removing dust between switches of a keyboard, comprising a hand-held member, and a hand-held member extending from the hand-held member. The flat plate-shaped insertion member and only a part of the distal end of the insertion member are constituted by a bendable cleaning portion. The cleaning section and the insertion member at the distal end are integrally formed, and at least the cleaning section is covered with a dust-absorbing wiping member.
[0005]
[Action]
According to the present invention having the above-described configuration, it is possible to suck and remove dust adhering between key switches of a keyboard, particularly, around a switch that cannot be seen from a gap.
That is, the present invention provides a cleaning unit in which only a small part of the distal end of the insertion member can be bent with respect to a spatula-like cleaning tool including a hand-held member and a flat insertion member extended from the hand-held member. Provided. As a result, when the insertion member inserted into the groove between the key switches is pressed against the bottom of the keyboard, only the cleaning portion at the tip is bent, so that the tip reaches dust adhered to the back side of the key top. Become.
Since the cleaning unit at the distal end is covered with a dust absorbing wiping member, the dust can be effectively removed by the wiping member.
[0006]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings of the embodiments.
FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a keyboard cleaning tool of the present invention.
[0007]
As shown, the keyboard cleaning tool 1 of the present invention mainly includes a hand-held member 2 and a flat insertion member 3 extending from the hand-held member 2. Of these, at least the insertion portion 3 is formed with a thickness that can be inserted into the groove between the key tops KK of the key switch, and is formed of a relatively hard plastic material. Then, only a small part of the distal end of the insertion member 3 is configured as the cleaning unit 4 so as to be able to bend. Each of these parts can be formed integrally, but at least only the cleaning part 4 at the tip is made thin and bendable.
[0008]
That is, as shown in a schematic side view showing the use state of the keyboard cleaning tool according to the present invention in FIG. 2, the cleaning unit 4 has a tip located at a key switch of the keyboard, specifically, between key tops KK. It is preferable that when pressed against the bottom of the groove, only that portion bends a sufficient length to reach the outer periphery of the spring directly below the back surface of the key top K. For this reason, the cleaning unit 4 can be formed as a member separate from the insertion unit 3, but in the case of an integral unit, it is realized by forming only the part to be the cleaning unit 4 thin.
[0009]
Then, at least the cleaning unit 4 is covered with a wiping member 5 for adsorbing dust D. The wiping member is made of a chemical fiber material that effectively adsorbs dust in the groove. In addition, the covering portion is covered up to a portion that is exposed to an upper end portion of the key top when the cleaning unit 4 is pressed against the bottom and bent, for example, so as not to be peeled off by being caught on the key top K of the key switch. Is preferred.
[0010]
The keyboard cleaner 1 of the present invention configured as described above can adsorb and remove dust D adhering between key switches of the keyboard, particularly, around a switch that cannot be seen from a gap.
[0011]
When using the keyboard cleaning tool 1 of the present invention, first, the hand holding member 2 is held by hand, and the groove insertion member 3 between the key switches is inserted. At this time, when the front end is pressed against the bottom of the keyboard, only the cleaning section 4 at the front end is curved, so that the front end reaches the dust D attached to the back side of the key top K. Since the cleaning unit at the tip is covered with the wiping member 5 for sucking the dust D, by moving the wiping member 5 along the groove, the invisible dust D is effectively removed by the wiping member 5. It is possible.
[0012]
【The invention's effect】
Since the keyboard cleaning tool of the present invention is configured as described above, it is possible to easily and effectively remove dust present in the groove between the key switches, which is difficult to remove in the past, in particular, immediately below the back surface of the key top. Became. Further, the present invention is a significant invention that can be used over time by replacing the covering portion of the cleaning unit.
