Description

  The present invention relates to a liquid-absorbing pad used in a device for applying a handy-type liquid to a surface, and more particularly to a liquid-absorbing pad used for a device for cleaning a surface with a liquid or applying a liquid to a surface. Something related to liquid pads.

Conventionally, handy-type containers containing liquids are carried and used for various purposes.
For example, a liquid storage device for carrying out a container in which a cleaning liquid is stored and easily cleaning dirt in a place where there is no water supply or the like, specifically a hip cleaning device for nursing care or the like has been known.
In this case, as a simpler type that simply sprays liquid, a number of handy-type heel liquid storage devices that cause dirt to flow with the water pressure of water sprayed from the nozzle tip have been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1). ). Such a handy-type heel liquid container is intended to be able to easily clean the buttock on the go, and to wash away dirt on the skin with a jet of water.

  When removing dirt on the skin with a jet of water, it is effective for washing low-viscosity items such as water-soluble stool, but it is not possible to remove solid substances stuck to the skin surface with soft stool or solid stool. It is very difficult only by the pressure of water pressure. Further, in order to remove dirt more neatly, it is necessary to increase the water pressure. In this case, the liquid rebounds from the skin surface, and the surrounding clothes and skin surface are stained.

  In addition, cleaning of the buttocks is also necessary for sick people, elderly caregivers, and infants, which imposes great burden on those who are involved in caregiving and childcare. When washing urine and stool adhering to a diaper for nursing care of an elderly person or changing diapers of infants, it is difficult to remove the dirt reliably without dirtying hands. Furthermore, infants are rare to stay still when changing diapers, and always move around, so it is required to quickly and quickly clean their buttocks.

  Therefore, it is common to remove the dirt by spraying the liquid on the part to be cleaned, and then wiping with a cloth or sponge, etc., or wiping with a cloth or sponge or the like that has previously absorbed the liquid, instead of cleaning with only the liquid. there were. In this case, it is necessary to handle the liquid container with one hand and the cloth with the other hand, which is not convenient.

  By the way, as a means to wipe off this liquid, stubborn dirt on the skin is generally wiped off with wet wipes, etc. In the case of wet wipes, too much force or rubbing for a long time Then, it may damage your skin red. In addition, if it is rubbed strongly, the absorbed water will not be squeezed out, and there may be a vicious cycle in which more force is applied and the skin is damaged.

  Thus, a product that can easily handle the liquid container and the means for applying and wiping off the liquid has been desired for various applications.

  Under such circumstances, as a specialized type of handy-type buttock cleaning device, an integrated container containing a liquid and a sponge for wiping dirt has been proposed. For example, a base end portion, a tube member that extends from the base end portion, is at least partially bendable, a liquid is circulated inside, and the liquid is discharged from the front end; and the tube member There has been proposed a pressure sore cleaning and cleaning instrument comprising a liquid supply means for supplying a liquid (see Patent Document 2). The base end portion and the liquid supply means are constituted by a water injection liquid holding container, and a cleaning and cleaning sponge that contacts the human body can be attached to the tip of the tube member.

However, a part of the extended portion is bendable, and a cleaning body in which a sponge and a cylindrical sheath body are integrated at the distal end portion is externally fitted to the water discharge portion at the distal end of the tube member. Because it is structured to be installed and washed by
1. Since a part of the tube member is bendable and has a certain length, a large force cannot be applied to the sponge provided at the tip during cleaning and cleaning. That is, it may have to be a gentle touch to clean and clean wounds such as pressure ulcers, but it is difficult to clean stubborn dirt.
2. Since the sheath body and the sponge are integrated, it is troublesome and difficult to replace only the dirty tip without touching the contaminated portion.

Incidentally, even if the liquid container according to Patent Document 2 is used for other purposes, the above-described drawbacks are not solved.
Registered Utility Model No. 3050494 JP2003-334231A

  An object of the present invention is to provide a liquid-absorbing pad used for a device for applying a handy-type liquid that can be operated with one hand to a surface, such as a handy-type cleaning device or a coating device, It is an object of the present invention to provide a liquid-absorbing pad that is easy to attach and detach, is firmly fixed to the tip of a liquid container when performing work, and can be hygienically detached after use without touching it.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to such conventional problems, and has solved the above problems.

That is, the present invention
(1) A handy type liquid having a container body that can be deformed by pressing at least partly, a nozzle that ejects the liquid, and a protrusion that protrudes from the tip of the container body on the surface. In the liquid absorption pad used for the instrument for applying, it is a liquid absorption pad fixed to the said protrusion so that attachment or detachment is possible.

(2) The liquid-absorbing pad of the present invention comprises a liquid-absorbing member that absorbs and holds a liquid and a fixing member that fixes the liquid-absorbing pad to the tip of the liquid container, and the fixing member is fitted into the protrusion. It is preferable to have an opening for fixing.

(3) Further, the fixing member has a surface that fits into the projecting portion and comes into contact with an abutting surface provided at the projecting portion or the tip of the liquid container, and is attachable to and detachable from the projecting portion. Furthermore, it is preferable that the contact surface is fixed in contact with the contact surface.

(4) Moreover, the liquid absorption pad of this invention is provided with an opening at the position of the liquid absorption member corresponding to the opening of the fixing member, and both openings continuously form a through hole of the liquid absorption pad. It is preferable that

(5) Furthermore, in the liquid-absorbing pad of the present invention, the surface of the liquid-absorbing member is preferably an ellipse, a rhombus, or a deformed triangle,
(6) Moreover, it is preferable that it has a fold which has an angle with respect to the longitudinal direction of the said shape on the surface side of a liquid absorption member,
(7) Furthermore, it is preferable that the pleats of the liquid-absorbing member have a length that collapses during use and covers the opening of the fixing member.

(8) The liquid-absorbing pad of the present invention is preferably made of urethane foam in which the liquid-absorbing member has continuous holes,
(9) The fixing member is preferably made of foamed polyethylene having a closed cell structure.

  The liquid-absorbing pad according to the first aspect of the present invention is a device for applying a handy-type liquid (hereinafter simply referred to as “liquid-applied device”) capable of sufficiently supplying liquid and cleaning dirt with a single hand operation. For example, a device for applying a liquid to a surface is used as a cleaning device. When used as, it supports easy cleaning of personal furniture, OA equipment, automobiles and other dirt. It can be suitably used for baby diaper replacement, care for sick and elderly people, etc., and the dirt adhering to the skin when operated with one hand can be reliably and quickly removed with the liquid absorption pad.

  In this case, it is needless to say that the liquid applicator can be used for various purposes according to the idea of the user. For example, a paint, a stain remover, or the like can be used as the liquid. In this case, the liquid application operation or the like can be performed with one hand using the liquid absorption pad.

(2) Since the liquid absorbing pad of the present invention is fixed by fitting the opening of the fixing member into the protrusion at the tip of the container body, the liquid absorbing pad can be attached to and detached from the liquid container by a simple operation. Can do.
(3) Furthermore, since the fixing member has a surface that abuts against the abutment surface of the protrusion or the tip of the container body, when the fitting is inserted into the protrusion, the fixing member is fitted into the protrusion of the container tip. In addition to fixing, it can be fixed more firmly with the contact surface, and it is possible to prevent the liquid absorbing pad from wobbling especially during use.

(4) Although the opening of the fixing member is fitted and fixed to the protrusion, the liquid can be directly ejected to the dirt by providing the opening in the liquid absorbing member.

(5) Since the surface of the liquid absorbing member that touches the dirt is an ellipse, diamond, or deformed triangle, if the liquid absorbing member is moved in the longitudinal direction against the object, the force concentrates in a narrow area. Can be added. That is, for example, when used as a liquid absorbent pad for a cleaning tool, stubborn dirt can be easily removed. Moreover, it can be used suitably for cleaning dirt in narrow places.
(6) Since pleats having an angle with respect to the longitudinal direction of the shape are provided, dirt can be rubbed one after another with a large number of pleats.
(7) By using a pleat with a length that covers the opening of the fixing member by falling down during use, it is possible to prevent the opening of the fixing member from being contaminated. Etc. can be avoided.

(8) When the liquid absorbing member is made of urethane foam, it is flexible and has a water retaining ability, and particularly has a good touch feeling. Therefore, it is useful for diaper replacement and skin cleaning at the time of nursing care.
(9) When the fixing member is made of foamed polyethylene having a closed cell structure, it can be fitted and fixed to the protrusion by using a material having moderate elasticity and a large amount of deformation to be restored. It is also suitable as a stand that supports the urethane foam liquid-absorbing member, and does not bend at the time of washing.
Since urethane foam and polyethylene foam are general-purpose synthetic resins, they are easy to process such as molding and bonding, and are inexpensive materials suitable for mass production. Can be used well.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
In addition, for convenience of explanation, the case where the device for applying the liquid to which the liquid-absorbing pad according to the present invention is applied to the surface will be mainly described as a cleaning device for the buttocks. Of course, it is not limited to this.

  FIG. 1 shows an overall view of a handy type liquid applicator 1 equipped with a liquid absorption pad of the present invention. FIG. 2 (a) shows a state where members (liquid absorbing pad 10 and cap 9) that can be removed during normal use of the handy-type liquid applicator 1 of FIG. 1 are removed, and FIG. 2 (b). These show the front view which looked at the liquid storage container 2 which fitted the cap 9 from the left side in drawing of Fig.2 (a). 2A and 2B, the pad attachment / detachment knob 14 and the ejection switching lever 15 shown in FIG. 1 are omitted.

  The container main body 3 of the liquid storage container 2 is formed in a shape that is at least partially easy to grip with a material that can be pressed and deformed, and stores the liquid therein. Although not visible in FIG. 1, the container tip 4 is provided with a nozzle 16 for ejecting a liquid and at least one protrusion 17 disposed so as to protrude from the container tip 4 (FIG. 2 ( a)). The liquid absorption pad 10 of the present invention that absorbs and holds the liquid ejected from the nozzle 16 is detachably fixed to the protrusion 17.

  Hereinafter, the liquid absorbent pad 10 will be described in detail. In the case of FIG. 1, the liquid absorption pad 10 is composed of a liquid absorption member 11 and a fixing member 12. Therefore, the container gripping portion 6 of the container body 3 can be grasped by hand and pressurized so that the liquid in the container is ejected from the nozzle 16, and the liquid supplied from the nozzle 16 causes the wave-like (pleated shape) of the liquid absorption pad 10. The flexible liquid-absorbing member 11 processed in (1) is moistened. The dirt is removed by wiping the liquid-absorbing member 11 containing liquid against the object to be cleaned and wiping it back and forth and right and left. Further, during washing, the container body 3 can be further pressed to send out the liquid, and washing can be carried out while washing away dirt.

  A liquid absorbing pad 10 including a liquid absorbing member 11 for absorbing liquid and wiping and cleaning the liquid and a fixing member 12 for fixing the liquid absorbing member 11 to the liquid container is integrally formed. What is used as a disposable type to be discarded after use is hygienic and preferable.

  The liquid-absorbing member 11 is a member that absorbs and holds a liquid and applies the liquid to a cleaning target to wipe off and remove the dirt. The fixing member 12 is a member that detachably fixes the liquid absorbent pad 10 to the tip portion 4 of the container main body 3, and in particular, the container main body so that the liquid absorbent pad 10 does not interfere with the cleaning operation during cleaning. 3 is firmly fixed to the tip 4 of the 3.

In order to detachably fix the liquid absorption pad 10 to the distal end portion 4 of the container main body 3, the fixing member 12 is provided with an opening 23 that fits into the protrusion 17 that is disposed to protrude from the distal end portion 4 of the container main body 3. It is preferable. Furthermore, it is preferable that the fixing member 12 is provided with a surface that abuts against the abutting surface provided at the container tip 4.
FIG. 3A shows a conceptual diagram of a state in which the liquid absorption pad 10 is attached to the distal end portion 4 of the container body 3, and the opening 23 of the fixing member 12 of the liquid absorption pad 10 protrudes from the container distal end portion 4. 17, the liquid absorption pad 10 is fixed to the container tip 4. Furthermore, the contact surface 21 of the container tip 4 and a part of the outer surface 24 of the fixing member 12 are in contact with each other in a plane, and the fixation is made stronger, especially when the liquid absorbing pad 10 is pressed against the dirt and moved. The contact of this surface and the fitting at the protrusion 17 are effectively fixed, and the liquid absorption pad 10 is prevented from wobbling. Further, a protrusion 18 is provided on the outer surface of the protrusion 17 that contacts the opening 23 of the fixing member 12 of the liquid absorbing pad 10, and the protrusion is formed on the inner wall surface of the opening 23 when the fixing member 12 of the liquid absorbing pad 10 is fitted. If 18 intrudes, the liquid absorption pad 10 is firmly fixed by the container front-end | tip part 4 (refer Fig.3 (a)). FIG. 3B shows a state in which the liquid absorption pad 10 is separated from the protrusion 17 of the distal end portion 4.
When the liquid absorbent pad 10 is fixed to the distal end portion 4 of the container body 3, the opening 23 of the fixing member 12 is fitted into the protrusion 17 and fixed using the elasticity of the material of the fixing member 12. Therefore, it is preferable that the opening 23 of the fixing member 12 is processed to be smaller than the cross-sectional outer shape of the protrusion 17 in view of elasticity.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3A, when the abutting surface 21 of the container front end 4 and the fixing member 12 abut on a plane, the fixing effect is greatly increased, so that the liquid absorbing pad 10 is firmly attached. It can be fixed to the tip 4 of the container body 3. However, if the liquid absorbent pad 10 (liquid absorbent member 11) can be applied to the object to be cleaned and wiped forward, backward, left and right, the fixed member 12 does not necessarily have to contact the contact surface 21, and as shown in FIG. The member 12 may be fixed simply by fitting the opening 23 of the fixing member 12 into the protrusion 17 in a state where the member 12 is separated from the distal end portion 4 of the container body 3. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the liquid absorbing pad 10 is provided with a flat contact surface 21 on the protrusion 17 itself, and the fixing member 12 is fitted into the protrusion 17 so as to contact the contact surface 21 of the protrusion 17. They may be fixed in contact with each other, and a desired fixing effect can be obtained.

The cross-sectional shape, size, number and arrangement of the protrusions 17 are not particularly limited as long as the liquid absorbing pad 10 is appropriately fixed to the protrusions 17, and can be appropriately selected. That is, the cross-sectional shape is not limited to a circle, and may be an ellipse, an arbitrary polygon, or a combination of these. When providing the some protrusion 17, the cross-sectional shape may use a different shape, or the same shape may be used. A shape that is easy to process is desirable, and the protrusion 17 is particularly preferably a columnar shape or a cylindrical shape.
In the liquid absorption pad 10 of the present invention, the fixing member 12 is provided with openings 23 having a shape, size, number and arrangement corresponding to the cross-sectional shape, size, number and arrangement of the protrusions 17 in consideration of the elasticity of the material. . Therefore, the opening 23 of the fixing member 12 can be fitted into the protrusion 17, and thus the liquid absorption pad 10 can be fixed to the distal end portion 4 of the container body 3.

FIG. 6 is a view of an example of the shape of the opening 23 of the fixing member 12 as viewed from the outer surface 24 side of the fixing member 12. As described above, the shape of the opening 23 corresponds to the protrusion 17, but any shape may be employed because the fixing member 12 may be fitted into the protrusion 17 and fixed firmly. Specifically, a circular shape, an elliptical shape (FIG. 6A), a polygonal shape (FIG. 6B), and other arbitrary shapes (FIG. 6C) that are a combination of these are exemplified. The opening 23 usually has the same shape as the cross section of the corresponding protrusion 17, but it is not always necessary to do so, and the fixing member 12 of the hexagonal opening 23 may be combined with the protrusion 17 having a circular cross section, On the contrary, the fixing member 12 of the circular opening 23 can be combined with the protrusion 17 having a hexagonal cross section, and the combination is free, and it is preferable to appropriately select one that is fixed more firmly. By providing the opening 23 of the fixing member 12 at the position of the center of gravity of the rhombus, ellipse, deformed triangle, or the like, the liquid absorbing member 11 of the liquid absorbing pad 10 is pressed against the dirt in a balanced manner during cleaning. be able to.
Further, if there are a plurality of protrusions 17, it is naturally necessary to provide openings 23 in the fixing member 12 according to the number of the protrusions 17. For example, when there are two protrusions 17 and two openings 23, as shown in FIG. 6D, the openings 23 of the fixing member 12 may be provided side by side along the longitudinal direction so as to constitute the center of gravity. As shown in FIG. 6E, they may be arranged at right angles in the longitudinal direction. Since the liquid absorbing pad 10 is normally moved in the longitudinal direction, the two openings 23 are preferably provided along the longitudinal direction.

  The liquid absorbing member 11 of the liquid absorbing pad 10 can also be provided with an opening 22 at the same position as the opening 23 of the fixing member 12. When the opening 23 corresponds only to the protrusion 17, it is not particularly necessary to provide the opening 22 to the liquid absorbing member 11, but the same size of both the fixing member 12 and the liquid absorbing member 11 is the same Providing the openings 22 and 23 has an advantage that it is easy to process because the through-hole 36 is formed in the liquid absorbing pad 10 at a time. Further, when the nozzle 16 is coaxially inserted inside the cylindrical protrusion 17 or when only the nozzle 16 is provided, it is preferable to provide a through hole 36 at those positions. In addition to supplying the liquid to the liquid absorbing member 11, if the liquid is jetted straight, the liquid can be directly applied to the dirt by passing through the through hole 36. In addition, the nozzle 16 can also serve as the protrusion 17, and the nozzle 16 can substitute for one of the plurality of protrusions 17. In the same manner as in the case of the protrusion 17 described above, an opening 23 corresponding to the nozzle 16 may be provided, and the liquid absorbing pad 10 may be fixed by fitting into the opening 23.

  The liquid absorption pad 10 may have any shape as long as the liquid absorption member 11 that absorbs and stores liquid can be applied to the object to be cleaned and can be rubbed back and forth and left and right to remove dirt. The liquid-absorbing member 11 and the fixing member 12 are integrally formed, fitted into the protrusion 17 of the container tip 4 and further in contact with the contact surface, and the liquid-absorbing member 11 is used during cleaning. In view of the fact that the film is firmly pressed against the dirt and does not come off the protrusion 17 and can be easily detached from the protrusion 17 after washing, a flat plate shape is preferable. The surface to be cleaned can have any shape such as a circle or a rectangle, but an elongated shape such as a rhombus or an ellipse is preferable. For example, shapes such as a rhombus (a), an ellipse (b), and a deformed triangle (c) shown in a perspective view in FIG. 7 are preferable. Here, the deformed triangle refers to a long triangle in which the height of the regular triangle is extended by a few times. Moreover, it is preferable that the corners of the rhombus and the triangle are rounded by rounding. In this way, when the shape is elongated, when the liquid absorbing member 11 is applied to the dirt and moved in the longitudinal direction, the force can be concentrated in a narrow range, and stubborn dirt can be easily removed. Of course, it can be suitably used to clean dirt in narrow places. In addition, the length (width) of the narrow and narrow shape is preferably a length that covers the contact surface as much as possible, and preferably a length that completely covers the contact surface, in order to maximize the effect of the surface.

It is preferable to provide a pleat 37 having an angle with respect to the longitudinal direction of the shape on the surface side of the liquid absorbing member 11 of the liquid absorbing pad 10. The direction in which the pleats 37 are formed is most preferably perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. However, if the pleats 37 are not completely perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, a direction having an angle with respect to the longitudinal direction (a direction not parallel to the longitudinal direction) is desirable. It becomes possible to obtain the effect.
The height of the protruding pleat 37 is preferably set to a length that covers and closes the opening 23 of the fixing member 12 when the pleat 37 falls down due to dirt during cleaning. The thickness of each protruding pleat 37 is preferably the same as the distance between adjacent pleats 37 and the pleats 37, and is preferably less than half the height of the pleats 37. If the pleats 37 are provided with the above dimensions, the pleats 37 will fall down and the opening 23 of the fixing member 12 will be closed when the liquid absorbent pad 10 is rubbed against the dirt and rubbed in the longitudinal direction. A plurality of pleats 37 hit the dirt one after another, and the dirt can be wiped off.

The liquid absorbing member 11 of the liquid absorbing pad 10 is not particularly limited in material, shape, etc., as long as it can absorb and hold the liquid to clean the surface or apply the liquid to the surface. Alternatively, materials such as cloth, non-woven fabric, paper, sponge, and hair (used for brushes) can be used. Moreover, what can be united with the fixing member 12 well and forms the liquid absorption pad 10 is preferable. In particular, the liquid absorbent pad 10 includes a liquid absorbent member 11 made of a sponge-like urethane foam in which the cleaning surface side is processed to have a concavo-convex shape and a pleat 37 is projected, and a foamed polyethylene having a closed cell structure having moderate elasticity and hardness. What has the structure which bonded the fixing member 12 which consists of these with the adhesive agent is used preferably. The urethane foam is flexible, has a good feel to the touch, has water retention, and can be particularly preferably used as the liquid absorbing member 11. The liquid absorbing member 11 is preferably made of a hydrophilic material. If it is not hydrophilic, hydrophilicity may be imparted in advance by coating or surface treatment with a hydrophilic substance or compound by a known method.
In addition, since the foamed polyethylene having a closed cell structure has appropriate elasticity and a large amount of deformation to be restored, it can be preferably used for the fixing member 12 in order to be fitted into the protrusion 17 of the container tip 4 and fixed. it can. The fixing member 12 does not require hydrophilicity, and conversely, water repellency may be preferable. In addition, since urethane foam and polyethylene foam are general-purpose synthetic resins, they are easy to process such as molding and bonding, and are inexpensive materials suitable for mass production. Can be used.

  The liquid absorption pad 10 can be easily and hygienically detached from the handy type liquid container after use. An example of the desorption mechanism is shown in FIG. Three extrusion rods 30 are fixed in parallel to the protrusion 17 on the back side (liquid container side) of the extrusion plate 29 having the contact surface 21, and the other end portion of the three extrusion rods 30 is an extrusion ring. The extrusion plate 29, the three extrusion rods 30, and the extrusion ring 31 have an integral structure. The casing member 33 is a plate-like member that is parallel to the extruded plate 29 and is fixed to the casing, and the protruding portion 17 is provided so as to protrude outward from that point. The casing member 33 is provided with holes through which the three extrusion rods 30 slide. Accordingly, the push plate 29 and the push ring 31 coupled to the three push rods 30 can move the distance between the push plate 29 and the push ring 31 with the casing member 33 fixed to the casing interposed therebetween. Further, an extrusion knob 32 is provided on the outer peripheral upper portion of the extrusion ring 31 so as to protrude from the center of the ring, and the extrusion knob 32 is connected to the liquid absorbing pad attaching / detaching knob 14 near the container tip 4.

Therefore, when the liquid absorption pad attaching / detaching knob 14 is slid in the distal direction of the liquid container 2 after the cleaning is completed, the extrusion knob 32, the extrusion ring 31, the extrusion rod 30 and the extrusion plate 29 connected to the knob 14 are moved in the container distal direction. Slide to. The liquid absorbing pad 10 fitted into the opening 23 and the protrusion 17 of the fixing member 12 and fixed by the elasticity of the fixing member 12 is pushed by the abutting surface 21 of the pushing plate 29 to fix the liquid absorbing pad 10. The 12 parts contract and are further pushed so that the force exceeds the force to be inserted and fixed by elasticity, and the liquid absorbing pad 10 is detached from the protrusion 17.
FIG. 9 shows a state where the liquid absorbent pad 10 is detached after cleaning. FIG. 9 (a) shows a state in which the index finger is attached to the liquid absorbent pad attaching / detaching knob 14 in order to remove the liquid absorbent pad 10 immediately after cleaning, and FIG. 9 (a ') shows the protrusion of the container tip 4 at that time. 17 and the state of the extruded plate are shown excluding the liquid absorbing pad 10. FIG. 9B shows a state in which the liquid absorption pad attaching / detaching knob 14 is slightly moved. FIG. 9C shows a state in which the liquid absorption pad 10 has been pushed out and the liquid absorption pad 10 has been removed. FIG. 9 (c ′) shows the state of the container tip 4 at that time, and it can be seen that the pushing plate 29 is at the tip of the protrusion 17.

  Note that the extrusion plate 29 having the contact surface 21 is not necessarily made integrally with the entire contact surface 21. As the extrusion plate 29, it is only necessary that the washed liquid absorbing pad 10 can be removed from the protrusion 17. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 10A, the extrusion plates 29-1 and 29-2 can be provided above and below the protrusion 17 so as to be fixed to the tip of the extrusion rod 30 in FIG. 8. . Further, the four extrusion plates 29-1 to 29-4 can be provided on the top, bottom, left and right of the protrusion 17 as shown in FIG.

  The usage method of the liquid application instrument which mounted | wore with the liquid absorption pad 10 of this invention is mainly demonstrated based on FIGS. 1-3. First, the cap 9 is removed from the container body 3 and filled with a liquid (for example, water, hot water, a disinfecting liquid containing alcohol or acetic acid, a cleaning liquid containing a surfactant, etc.), and the cap 9 is closed.

  Then, the opening 23 (see FIG. 3B) of the fixing member 12 of the liquid absorbing pad 10 is fitted into the protrusion 17 until the outer surface 24 of the fixing member 12 is in perfect contact with the push plate 29. When the container gripping portion 6 of the container body 3 is grasped and pressure is applied to the container body 3, the liquid in the container is pushed out and ejected from the nozzle 16. At this time, by operating the ejection switching lever 15, the liquid is ejected straight and sprayed directly onto the dirt to be cleaned, or sprayed in a shower-like manner or sprayed extensively, or the liquid absorbing pad 10 is sucked. The liquid can be supplied to the liquid member 11 via the inner wall surface of the opening 22.

  Next, the liquid-absorbing member 11 of the liquid-absorbing pad 10 is applied to the dirt to be cleaned, and the dirt is wiped off by rubbing. If the cleaning side of the liquid absorbing member 11 is concavo-convexly processed, when the liquid application tool is moved and rubbed, the pleats 37 of the liquid absorbing member 11 are rubbed one after another. Further, the pleats 37 block the opening 23 of the fixing member 12 and can prevent the nozzle 16 from being contaminated and the nozzle 16 from being blocked at the tip of the nozzle 16. Further, when the dirt is severe, the container body 3 can be pressed during the washing to continuously discharge the liquid and wash it so as to be washed away.

  When cleaning is completed, when the liquid absorption pad attaching / detaching knob 14 disposed near the tip of the container body 3 is slid in the direction of the liquid absorbing pad 10, the liquid absorbing pad attaching / detaching knob 14 is connected to the extrusion plate 29. The plate 29 is pushed out to the tip of the protrusion 17, that is, near the tip of the nozzle 16. By this movement, the liquid absorbing pad 10 that comes into contact with the pushing plate 29 is detached from the protrusion 17. If the liquid absorbent pad 10 is attached and detached on a suitable waste container, the soiled liquid absorbent pad 10 falls into the garbage container by its own weight. At this time, the contaminated liquid absorbing pad 10 can be sanitized and disposed without touching the contaminated liquid absorbing pad 10 without contaminating the periphery.

  As described above, the liquid-absorbing pad 10 of the present invention can be suitably used for the above-described handy-type liquid applicator 1, and the liquid-absorbing pad containing the washing water by holding the container body 3 with one hand. The dirt can be easily wiped off by rubbing the dirt with 10. In particular, since the operation from washing to disposal can be performed without touching at all except when the liquid absorption pad 10 is inserted, all kinds of dirt in hospitals, homes, offices, etc. can be easily treated.
