Description

  The present invention mainly relates to a polishing tool which can easily remove and clean tile joints in a bathroom, kitchen, hand restroom, etc., as well as dirt at corners such as a boundary between a floor surface and a wall surface in a room.

  Conventionally, for example, to clean tiles placed in bathrooms, kitchens, etc., even if the tiles themselves are polished with a brush or the like, the joints themselves are located deeper than the tile surfaces, so the joints The dirt present inside is difficult to remove with a brush that cleans the tile surface. Therefore, in order to remove dirt and the like existing on the tile joint, it is often performed by using a relatively small brush and strongly polishing along the joint.

  In order to eliminate such inconvenience, for example, a polishing tool for joints as disclosed in Patent Document 1 has been proposed, and this polishing tool is configured by rotatably mounting an endless polishing cloth on a thin plate-like core material. The polishing cloth paper portion covering the thin edge of the core material is positioned in the joint and polished so as to be pressed by the core material to remove the stain on the joint.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4, a large number of bristle hairs 102 are implanted in the brush fixing hole 103 provided on the end surface of the base base 101 having a reduced width as in this joint polishing tool, thereby reducing the width of the entire brush. The tip of the bristle 102 can be inserted into the joint by reducing the width to correspond to the joint width, and by cutting and aligning the tip of the entire bristle 102 to be tapered. Jointed brushes have also been proposed.
Registered Utility Model No. 3062934

  However, such a joint polishing tool proposed in the prior art is such that the joint polishing tool according to Patent Document 1 directly presses and strongly presses the polishing tool itself with a finger or the like. Not only is a strong pressing force required, but it is also cumbersome because the new surface must always be directed to the joint while rotating the abrasive cloth relative to the core. Further, according to the brush formed by the brush bristles 102 having the planting configuration, the brush bristles 102 are forcibly inserted into the brush fixing hole 103 provided on the end face of the base base 101 in a group of brush bristles 102. Since it is configured by fixing, a certain amount of width is required for the base substrate 101 itself, and it is difficult to configure a brush end having a narrow width corresponding to the joint width.

  Furthermore, with these conventional polishing tools, the operator holds the finger with his / her fingers and presses the polishing tool into the joint, so that the working posture is forced to be a very unnatural working posture such as a bent posture. Therefore, the work load is large, and it is a big problem especially for professional workers who work in cleaning.

  Moreover, since the conventional polishing tool for joints is configured exclusively for polishing the joint itself, it is difficult to divert it to use for cleaning other parts, and as a result, it becomes expensive. The business use of this was also expensive.

  Therefore, the present invention was created in view of the conventional circumstances as described above, and by fixing the filament material mixed with the abrasive to the base substrate end face having a small width as a brush hair, the width of the tip is fixed. It can be easily inserted into the joint by narrowing it so that the dirt in the joint can be easily removed and cleaned, and its base base can be linked to a handle of an appropriate length to make it impossible for workers to work An object of the present invention is to provide a polishing tool that can be used easily even if it does not.

In order to solve the above-described problems, in the present invention, the base substrate 1 having a flat narrow lower end surface and a flat width groove space corresponding to the lower end surface at the lower portion, It comprises a brush portion 2 fixed integrally with the base substrate 1 in a groove space in the base substrate 1, and the brush portion 2 has a narrow width of a large number of hard filament materials 3 mixed with a powdery abrasive. Are densely arranged in an array.
And the brush part 2 can be fixed in the groove space of the base board | substrate 1 through the adhesive agent 4, for example.
A connecting body 10 to which a handle 20 is connected is connected to the base base 1, and the connecting body 10 is a cylindrical insertion for forcibly inserting the handle 20 and a fixing portion 11 to be fixed to the base base 1. The part 12 can be formed integrally.

In the polishing tool according to the present invention configured as described above, the filament material 3 of the brush portion 2 provided in the lower groove space of the flat narrow base substrate 1 is in a narrow state. As a result, the dirt, etc., that is directed to the narrow joint surface of the tile or the narrow surface to be cleaned, such as the corner corner of the room, is rubbed there. Remove and clean.
In addition, the filament material 3 is arranged in a narrow space in a dense manner by fixing it to the groove space of the base substrate 1 with an adhesive 4, and the configuration of the brush portion 2 having a narrow array is covered. Smooth the rubbing action against the cleaning surface.
The powdery abrasive mixed in the filament material 3 is exposed from the tip surface of the hard filament material 3 itself, and is bent to the surface to be cleaned when it is directed to the surface to be cleaned. It becomes a butted shape without peeling off and removing dirt and the like existing on the surface to be cleaned.
The connection of the handle 20 having an appropriate length via the connecting body 10 fixed to the base substrate 1 makes the working posture of the cleaning worker workable and improves the work efficiency.

  According to the polishing tool according to the present invention configured as described above, it is possible to easily remove dirt or the like existing in narrow corners such as narrow joints such as tile joints and in the room such as the boundary between the floor surface and the wall surface. Since it can be removed and cleaned, and it does not impose an unreasonable working posture during the cleaning work, the work can be performed efficiently.

  That is, in the present invention, the base substrate 1 having a flat width groove space corresponding to the lower end surface of the flat narrow width portion in the lower portion, and the groove space of the base substrate 1 through, for example, an adhesive 4 This is because the brush portion 2 is formed by arranging a large number of hard filament materials 3 mixed with a powdery abrasive in a narrow width so as to be thin. With a large number of filament materials 3 arranged in a width, narrow portions such as narrow tile joints and indoor corners can be easily cleaned.

  Moreover, since the powdery abrasive | polishing agent is mixed in the filamentous raw material 3, this mixed abrasive | polishing agent will be exposed from the front end surface of the filamentous raw material 3, and when this is addressed to the to-be-cleaned surface The rubbing action removes and removes dirt and the like on the surface to be cleaned, and dirt and the like on tile joints that were troublesome in the past can be easily removed.

  The filament material 3 of the brush part 2 can be arranged and fixed in a dense state even if the groove space is narrow by fixing it in the groove space of the base substrate 1 via the adhesive 4. Since it is strong and firm, it will not drop out or fall out even if it is used to rub against the surface to be cleaned.

  Furthermore, since the base body 1 is connected to the connecting body 10 to which the handle 20 is connected, by connecting the handle 20 of an appropriate length, the cleaning operator can use it without being bent by, for example, standing posture. The cleaning work can be performed more efficiently. In addition, since the connecting body 10 is integrally formed with the fixing portion 11 that is fixed to the base base 1 and the cylindrical insertion portion 12 that forcibly inserts the handle 20, the connecting body 10 is connected to the base base 1. Alternatively, the separation can be easily performed by forcible insertion into or removal from the insertion portion 12, which is extremely convenient.

  Note that the reference numerals added in the means for solving the above-described problems and the effects of the invention are given for easy reference to the parts showing the components shown in the drawings. The present invention is not limited to the structure / shape indicated by the reference numeral.

  The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Reference numeral 1 shown in the figure is a base base formed in a flat shape with a size that can be gripped with fingers of an operator. is there. The base substrate 1 is configured such that a pair of plates made of, for example, a synthetic resin material having a thickness of about 1 to 2 mm, for example, are arranged in a confronting manner with a base plate interposed at a lower portion by setting an interval of, for example, about 2 to 5 mm. The space in the lower part has a U-shape with an opening at the bottom when viewed from the side, and is a groove space having a flat width similar to the lower surface of the base substrate 1 itself. The brush part 2 mentioned later is comprised. The base substrate 1 itself has a substantially mountain shape when viewed from the front so that the central portion is higher than the left and right portions, and a connecting body 10 for detachably connecting to a handle 20 described later is attached to the top of the central portion. It is provided.

  A brush portion 2 is formed integrally with the base substrate 1 at the lower end of the base substrate 1, and the brush unit 2 is provided with a large number of hard filamentous materials 3 mixed with an abrasive. Even if it is wide when viewed from the front, it is formed narrow when viewed from the side. The filament material 3 itself is made of, for example, an abrasive formed by pulverizing a glass material, a grindstone material, a shell material, and other organic or inorganic hard materials, and is a thermoplastic synthetic that is excellent in heat resistance, acid resistance, alkali resistance, and the like. It is mixed with a resin material and formed as a linear material having a diameter of, for example, about 1 to 2 mm, and the filament material 3 itself is bent and formed in a zigzag wave shape as shown in the figure. Of course, the abrasive itself is not limited to the materials described above, and the material of the synthetic resin material into which the abrasive is mixed is not particularly limited, and the tip of the filament material 3 itself is abutted against the surface to be cleaned. At this time, the filamentous material 3 itself has a rigidity that does not easily bend, and is in contact with the surface to be cleaned while maintaining the abutting state. Further, the abrasive is exposed at the tip of the filament material 3 to be abutted, and dirt and the like existing on the surface to be cleaned can be peeled off and removed by the abrasion.

  The filamentary material 3 is fixed to the base substrate 1 by, for example, an adhesive 4 disposed in the back of the groove space in the base substrate 1 as shown in FIG. Done. That is, before the adhesive 4 injected into the inner part of the groove space is solidified, the filamentous material 3 is inserted so as to be immersed in the adhesive 4, and the filamentous material 3 is solidified by the solidification of the adhesive 4. Is fixedly connected integrally to the base substrate 1 and, if necessary, a covering piece 5 covering the surface of the adhesive 4 is fixed to a side edge of the base substrate 1 which is an end of the groove space. The filamentous material 3 is in close contact with each other without any gaps between them, as if it is in a clustered state and has a narrow width when viewed from the side, and is preferably arranged in a dense manner. .

  Further, the brush portion 2 and the base substrate 1 can be fixed by welding instead of the adhesive 4 as described above, and further fixed by being firmly held by the side wall 5 forming the groove space. The fixing means is not particularly limited.

  In addition, a connecting body 10 is provided on the upper part of the base base 1, and the connecting body 10 sandwiches the upper part of the base base 1 so as to be fixed to the base base 1 and is fastened with screws as shown in the figure. 11 and a cylindrical insertion portion 12 for forcibly inserting the handle 20 are integrally formed. When fixing to the upper portion of the base base 1 by the fixing portion 11, if necessary, the connecting body 10 itself can swing with respect to the base base 1 using a screwing portion as a fulcrum. It can also be used at a free connection angle with respect to the handle 20 in the connected state, that is, in a so-called swinging state.

  The handle 20 connected to the base substrate 1 by being inserted into the insertion portion 12 of the connecting body 10 is, for example, a rod-like material or pipe material having a length of about 150 to 200 cm. When the base substrate 1 is connected, for example, a cleaning worker can clean the surface to be cleaned with a standing posture. The distal end of the handle 20 reaches the distal end so that the diameter of the distal end is smaller than the inner diameter of the insertion portion 12 of the connecting body 10 and slightly larger than the diameter of the insertion portion 12 on the rear end side. Accordingly, the diameter gradually becomes smaller, so that it can be connected by forcibly inserting into the insertion portion 12. Needless to say, the handle 20 can be formed short, and can be arbitrarily selected. The connection structure with the connecting body 10 is not limited to the forced insertion type shown in the illustrated example.

  Next, an example of use of this will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, the handle 20 is fixedly connected to the base base 1 via the connecting body 10, and the tip of the brush part 2 of the base base 1 is held on the floor, for example, with the handle 20. Polishing is performed with the longitudinal direction of the brush portion 2 being directed to the joint portion of the tile along the joint direction. Or although illustration was abbreviate | omitted, without using the handle | steering-wheel 20, the base base | substrate 1 is directly gripped with a finger | toe, and the brush part 2 tip is addressed to a to-be-cleaned surface, and is polished. In addition, what is necessary is just to forcibly pull out the handle 20 from the connection body 10.

  In addition, the surface to be cleaned is not limited to the joint portion of the tile, but can be, for example, a corner corner that is the boundary between the floor surface and the wall surface. What has been cleaned again in the posture is that the polishing tool according to the present invention is used with the handle 20 so that it can be easily cleaned with a scissors in a standing posture and dirt and the like can be removed.

It is a disassembled perspective view which shows the best form for implementing this invention. It is sectional drawing similarly. It is a perspective view of use condition similarly. It is a principal part notch perspective view of a prior art example.
