Yes.

The means of the present invention for achieving the above-mentioned object is as follows:
In a cleaning tool provided with a cleaning sheet and a cleaning body that detachably holds the cleaning sheet,
The cleaning body includes a main body having a support surface with which the intermediate portion of the cleaning sheet abuts on a lower surface portion, a holding member that is provided on an upper portion of the main body and engages and holds an end portion of the cleaning sheet; A handle provided on the main body,
The holding member includes a receiving hole portion for inserting an end portion of the cleaning sheet, and a first locking body and a second locking body formed on a base provided to cover the receiving hole portion,
The first locking body and the second locking body are respectively extended inward from both side portions of the base body, and the respective leading ends of the first locking body and the second locking body are extended. The parts are close to or in contact with each other, and both ends of the first locking body and the second locking body have a configuration of a cleaning tool provided with slits formed in a direction parallel to the extending direction.

  The first locking body and the second locking body are provided with different lengths in the direction extending inward from both side portions of the base body.

  The first locking body and the second locking body are formed of flexible elastic members, and are provided with different elastic forces of the first locking body and the second locking body.

  The present invention configured as described above can be easily performed when the cleaning sheet is attached by the first locking body and the second locking body provided so as to be close to or in contact with each other. Then, even if it receives frictional resistance with the cleaning surface, the cleaning sheet can be reliably held without slipping.

Next, an embodiment of the cleaning tool according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
1-4, A is a cleaning tool and is provided with the cleaning sheet 1 and the cleaning main body 2 holding this cleaning sheet 1 detachably.

  And the above-mentioned cleaning sheet 1 is formed in sheet shape, such as a square shape, by materials, such as a nonwoven fabric, polyester, and polypropylene, A wet type, a dry type, etc. can be selected suitably. Moreover, it forms so that it may have a shape at least larger than the support surface 3a of the main body 3 mentioned later.

  The cleaning main body 2 described above is engaged with the main body 3 having a support surface 3a with which the intermediate portion 1a of the cleaning sheet 1 abuts on the lower surface thereof, and the end 1b of the cleaning sheet 1 provided on the upper side of the main body 3. The holding member 4 to be held and the handle 5 provided on the main body 3 are provided.

  The main body 3 is formed in a rectangular thin box shape or a thin plate shape having a long side on one side and a short side on the other side orthogonal to the long side by synthetic resin or the like. Further, the support surface 3a uses a plate-like elastic body 6 such as foamed polyethylene fitted to the lower side of the main body 3, so that the contact state between the cleaning sheet 1 and a cleaning surface such as a floor is flexible. The wiping ability is improved by adapting to the uneven surface of the cleaning surface.

  The holding member 4 includes a receiving hole portion 7 into which the end 1b of the cleaning sheet 1 is inserted, and a first locking body 9a and a second engagement member formed on a base 8 provided so as to cover the receiving hole portion 7. It consists of a stop body 9b.

Among these, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3 and the like, the receiving hole portion 7 is formed at each of the four corners on the upper surface of the main body 3, and the end of the cleaning sheet 1 inserted by a fingertip or the like. The portion 1b has a predetermined depth to be embedded.
Then, by attaching the base 8 having the outer shape matched to the inner shape of the receiving hole portion 7, the receiving hole portion 7 is entirely or at least partially covered in appearance.

The first locking body 9a and the second locking body 9b described above are formed of a material having flexibility and elasticity (may be a spring property that can be restored after deformation). Are extended inward from both side portions (outer portions) of the first locking body 9a and the extended distal end portions of the first locking body 9a and the second locking body 9b in a single plane. Furthermore, both the locking bodies 9a and 9b are close to or in contact with each other, and the extending direction is provided at both ends of the first locking body 9a and the second locking body 9b. The slits 10 and 10 are formed in a groove shape or cut in a direction parallel to or substantially parallel to the slit.
That is, the first locking body 9a and the second locking body 9b are sandwiched between the slits 10 and 10 on both sides, and a continuous cut 11 is formed at the front end portion thereof. 9a and the second locking body 9b are extended in a cantilever state in the direction from the base 8 to the cut 11 toward the inside of the base 8.
Moreover, although the cut | interruption 11 of the front-end | tip part in the 1st latching body 9a and the 2nd latching body 9b may be formed in linear form, as shown to FIG. 1 and FIG. If it is formed in a serrated sawtooth-shaped jagged shape, the locked state with the cleaning sheet 1 becomes good.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIGS. 4 to 6, the first locking body 9 a and the second locking body 9 b extend in the direction extending inward from both sides of the base body 8. It is provided with different lengths.
That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the extension length dimension of the first locking body 9 a located on the outer peripheral side of the main body 3 in the cleaning body 2 and the second locking body 9 b positioned on the inner side of the main body 3. The extension length dimension n of the second locking body 9b is longer (m <n) than the extension length dimension m of the first locking body 9a.
Therefore, when the cleaning sheet 1 is wound around the cleaning body 2, the terminal side is positioned on the second locking body 9 b.
The so-called slits 10 and 10 have lengths m and n in the extending direction of the first locking body 9a and the second locking body 9b. Therefore, if the length of the slit 10 is long, the length dimension n in the extending direction becomes long, and if the length of the slit 10 is short, the length dimension m in the extending direction becomes short. In the case where the cut line 11 is formed in a saw-toothed shape with the length dimension m, the mountain-shaped form becomes the extending portion, and therefore the length dimension m by the slit 10 may not be required.

  As a result, when the cleaning sheet 1 wound around the cleaning body 2 is locked to the holding member 4, as shown in FIG. 6A, the cleaning sheet 1 is pushed from above the cleaning sheet 1 toward the receiving hole portion 7 with a finger or the like. By this pushed-in force, the second locking body 9b having the long extension length dimension n can be deformed more easily and earlier than the first locking body 9a having the short extension length dimension m.

Therefore, the cleaning tool A according to an embodiment of the present invention configured as described above has the following effects.
First, the rectangular cleaning sheet 1 is spread and wound around the main body 3 in the cleaning main body 2, and both terminal portions thereof are folded back to the upper surface portion of the main body 3 so as to cover the holding member 4 provided on the upper portion of the main body 3. Put on.
Next, as shown in FIG. 6 (a), when the finger is pushed from above the cleaning sheet 1 toward the receiving hole 7 in the holding member 4, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 6 (b), the extension length dimension n of the second engagement element 9b is longer than the extension length dimension m of the first engagement element 9a. First or a large amount of the curve changes, and the terminal side of the cleaning sheet 1 is pushed into the receiving hole portion 7 together with the second locking body 9b by a predetermined size.

  If the pushed finger is released in this state, as shown in FIG. 6 (c), the second locking body 9b whose curvature is changed returns to its original position due to its elasticity. Therefore, the cleaning sheet 1 pushed into the receiving hole portion 7 remains in the receiving hole portion 7, and the tip end portion of the second locking body 9 b that has returned to the original position is first in the cut portion 11. The cleaning sheet 1 is held between the first locking body 9a and the second locking body 9b in contact with the tip of the locking body 9a.

Therefore, by performing these operations on the holding members 4 provided at the four corners of the main body 3 in the cleaning body 2 in the same manner, the cleaning sheet 1 has a predetermined tension on the cleaning body 2 as shown in FIG. It is attached by.
In this state, by sliding the support surface 3a in correspondence with the cleaning surface such as the floor surface, dirt and dust on the floor and the like can be wiped off by the cleaning sheet 1 and cleaned cleanly.

At this time, when the cleaning sheet 1 is moved to the left and right while being applied to the cleaning surface, a sliding frictional resistance is generated between the cleaning surface and the cleaning sheet 1, and as shown by an arrow p in FIG. Although a tensile force is applied to the terminal portion side of the cleaning sheet 1, the cleaning sheet 1 is held and held by the cut 11 at the contact portion between the first locking body 9 a and the second locking body 9 b. The cleaning sheet 1 does not come off the holding member 4.
In particular, the first locking body 9a having a short extension length m is located on the outer peripheral side of the main body 3, that is, provided on the side where the tensile force p is applied to the terminal portion side of the cleaning sheet 1, Since the extension length m exhibits a resistance against the pulling force p and does not cause bending deformation, it prevents the cleaning sheet 1 from coming off.

  When the cleaning sheet 1 is removed from the main body 3 by replacement or the like, the terminal portion side 1c of the cleaning sheet 1 wound around the main body 3 is indicated by an arrow r in FIG. By pulling in the direction, the second locking body 9b having a long extension length dimension n is curved and deformed relatively easily to form a gap of the cut portion 11, and the first locking body 9a and the second locking body Since the contact of the tip portion with 9b is released, the cleaning sheet 1 can be easily detached from the holding member 4.

  As described above, the first locking body 9a and the second locking body 9b in the holding member 4 are attached to the cleaning sheet 1, and in order to obtain a good mounting property, the cleaning member 1 can be attached from above. When pressed with a finger or the like, the second locking body 9b has a configuration in which the first locking body 9b is bent and deformed. As a configuration capable of exerting this action, the first locking body 9a and the second locking body 9b It can also be provided with different elastic forces.

That is, the first locking body 9a and the second locking body 9b are formed by flexible elastic members. In this case, the first locking body 9a and the second locking body 9b are not necessarily inward from both side portions of the base body 8, respectively. It is not necessary to provide the extension length dimension in the direction in which the extension extends.
As an example, as shown in FIG. 7A, the thicknesses t1 and t2 of the first locking body 9a and the second locking body 9b (thickness t1 of the first locking body 9a> second relationship). The first locking body 9a and the second locking body are changed by changing the thickness t2) of the stopping body 9b or by providing the reinforcing ribs 12 on the first locking body 9a as shown in FIG. The second locking body 9b can be bent and deformed before the first locking body 9a by changing the strength and elastic force with 9b.
