Description

  The present invention relates to a cotton cloth cleaner. More specifically, the present invention relates to a vacuum cleaner for cleaning a floor or a glass window of a living room of a home, an office, or the like with a wet mop or a non-woven cloth, and can easily replace a cotton cloth with a one-touch method. The present invention relates to a cotton cloth cleaner.

  Floors and dirty glass windows in living rooms of ordinary households and offices without carpets are cleaned in various ways. In ordinary households, wet mop is used, and the floor of a living room or the like is squashed down. Such a wet mop cleaning method is the most primitive and requires a lot of manual labor. In addition, floors in offices and the like where carpets are not used use long rags with long rags attached to long rags. However, since the rag is fixed to the long handle, it is difficult to clean the rag and use it. Therefore, it is difficult to maintain a clean state when wiping the floor using a long patterned rag. Although a wet mop cleaner using a cotton cloth such as a towel attached to the wet mop cleaner can separate the wet mop for washing, it is inconvenient to detach the wet mop from the cleaner. Another method for cleaning the floor is to use a vacuum cleaner. Vacuum cleaners are intended to clean the floor on which carpets are laid, and it is not easy to clean floors without carpets.

In particular, in the Oriental culture, where people take off their shoes indoors like in Korea and Japan, it is necessary to clean the floor indoors with a well-washed wet mop. From such a viewpoint, the present inventor has developed a wet mop cleaner capable of easily detaching a neatly-washed rag and wiping the indoor floor conveniently, and has disclosed the following Patent Document 1 (October, 1994). (Filed on the 7th). This patented invention has a complicated internal structure and requires a lot of space between the lid and the lower body, so that the thickness of the product should be large. Also, by using a compression spring to open the lid, a phenomenon in which the main body and the central portion of the lid bulges over time appears, and the supporting member connected to the external sandwiching member for the horizontal movement of the external sandwiching member is changed. Since everyone must be connected to the lid through the slide member, there is a limit in reducing the vertical width of the vacuum cleaner.
