Description

  The present invention relates to a screen door cleaning tool. More specifically, the present invention relates to a screen door cleaning tool in which a brush member having a large number of raised hairs protruding outward is rotatably attached to a main body with a handle. The screen door cleaning tool of the present invention cleans the screen door by rotating the brush member having a number of raised hairs projecting outward on the surface of the screen door to infiltrate the raised hairs into the mesh screen, thereby moving the mesh door closer. The dirt attached to the screen door can be wiped off efficiently and reliably without causing damage or damage, and when the brush member becomes worn or dirty, the brush member is replaced with a new one and repeated. Can be used.

  In order to clean the screen door, a method of spraying water on the screen door with a hose or a method of wiping the screen door with a rag has been generally employed. The method of spraying water with a hose or the like is superior in that the dirt is removed relatively cleanly and the mesh screen of the screen door is less prone to damage and damage, but it is necessary to remove the screen door from the building and perform cleaning. It can't be done easily. The screen door can be wiped with a dust cloth without removing the screen door from the building, but it takes a lot of time and labor for the cleaning work, the hands are easily soiled, and the dirt is removed instead of the labor. In addition, there is a drawback that it is difficult to cause meshes and damage.

  In view of the above, the screen door can be cleaned easily and efficiently, and the screen door can be cleaned while preventing the screen door from being displaced or damaged. A cleaning tool (see Patent Document 1) covering the surface of the screen door cleaning roller with a sexual gel, and a wiping cleaning tool in which a flocking cloth in which piles are flocked at a high density is attached to a base portion having an operation handle (Patent Document 2) ), A screen door cleaning tool (see Patent Document 3), in which a holding slope is arranged on the upper surface of a substantially rectangular compressible sponge plate, and a wiping cloth for wiping off dirt is attached to the lower surface of the sponge plate. Has been.

However, in the cleaning tool of Patent Document 1, the dirt wiped off with the water-containing gel is excessively adsorbed on the water-containing gel, and the water-containing gel that has adsorbed the dirt is reduced in stickiness and the ability to wipe off dirt is reduced. As a result, cleaning is not performed smoothly. In addition, since the water-containing gel covering the roller surface cannot be regenerated, it cannot be used repeatedly, resulting in a high cost burden for the user.
Moreover, since the wiping cleaning tool of the said patent document 2 cleans by sliding this wiping cleaning tool on the surface of a screen door, and rubbing a screen door in a flocking cloth part, the moving direction of a wiping cleaning tool and the direction which crosses it The degree of removal of dirt is different between the two, and the mesh of the screen door is easily damaged or damaged.
Similarly to the wipe cleaning tool of Patent Document 2, the cleaning tool for the screen door of Patent Document 3 is to clean the screen door by sliding the screen door cleaning tool on the surface of the screen door and rubbing the screen door with the surface wiping cloth. For this reason, the degree of dirt removal tends to be different between the moving direction of the wiping cleaner and the direction crossing the wiping cleaner, and the mesh of the upper screen door tends to be damaged or damaged.

The present invention is described in detail below.
The screen door cleaning tool of the present invention includes a brush member and a main body with a handle. The brush member acts to scrape off the dirt adhering to the mesh when a large number of nappings in the brush member enter the mesh of the screen door. The handle-equipped main body includes a handle (handle) for holding the brush member rotatably and making it easier for a screen door cleaning operator to hold and operate the screen door cleaning tool.

  The brush member in the screen door cleaning tool of the present invention is a hairy member having a predetermined length formed by using a napped linear body provided with napped along the length direction of the surface of the linear body. The brush member has a structure in which a large number of raised hairs in the raised linear body used for forming the brush member protrude outwardly over the predetermined length of the brush member on the outer periphery of the brush member.

The napping provided on the napped linear body forming the brush member is a napped (so-called cut pile) with the tip cut in order to facilitate the napping of the napped into the mesh of the screen door.
In the napped linear body that forms the brush member, each napped hair may be individually erected on the linear body without being converged, or a plurality of napped hairs whose ends are cut off may be the root. It may be a tuft-like raised group (tuft-like cut pile) converged at a portion. Among them, the latter napped linear body having a tufted napped group (tufted cut pile) is generally easy to manufacture, and more efficiently scrapes off dirt adhered to the screen mesh. Furthermore, it is preferable because the retention of the cleaning liquid is good.

As a method for providing napping in the napped linear body, an appropriate one can be selected according to the shape and structure of the brush member formed from the napped linear body, and representative examples include the following (a) to (c). Can be mentioned.
(A) A bundle of cut pile-shaped tufts surrounding the outer periphery of the linear body, for example, in the number of rows of 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or more. The napped linear bodies formed by standing one after the other along the length direction (i.e., the cut pile-like tufted napped group surrounds the central linear body, from the entire circumference of the linear body Napped linear body standing radially outward).
In this napped linear body of (a), the tufted napped groups of each row provided in the number of rows of three or more along the length direction of the linear body surrounding the outer periphery of the linear body are linear. It may be at the same cross-sectional position of the body [see, for example, the napped linear body of FIG. 1 (a) described in the examples below] or at a different cross-sectional position.
(B) Stands in which a large number of cut pile-like tufts are erected one after another along the length of the linear body at two opposing positions (180 ° apart) on the outer periphery of the linear body. Hairy linear body [See, for example, the napped linear body of FIG. 1 (b) described in the following examples].
(C) A napped linear body in which tufted napped groups made up of a number of cut piles are erected one after another in one line along the length of the linear body at one position on the outer periphery of the linear body [ For example, see the napped linear bodies in FIGS. 1C and 1D described in the following examples].
The linear body in the napped linear body may be linear or may be wound in a coil shape. That is, the napped linear body may be a linear linear body that is rigid and difficult to bend, or may be napped on a linear body that is rigid but can be wound into a coil. It may be a thing, or it may be a soft linear body provided with napping, and depending on the shape of the brush member formed from the napped linear body, the napped linear body suitable for each Should be used.

The thickness of the linear body in the napped linear body is not particularly limited, and can be determined according to the shape of the brush member formed from the napped linear body. In general, the thickness of the linear body in the napped linear body is 0.1 to 2 mm, particularly about 0.5 to 1 mm, and it is easy to form the brush member from the napped linear body. It is preferable from the viewpoints of strength, form stability, and the like of the brush member formed from the napped linear body.
The material of the linear body in the napped linear body may be any of plastic, metal, wood, a composite of two or more thereof.
Further, the linear body in the napped linear body may consist of a single linear body (bar-shaped body), or a plurality of linear bodies converged into a linear shape, or twisted into a linear shape. Any of these may be used.

The napped in the napped linear body may be composed of any of synthetic fiber, metal fiber, vegetable fiber, animal hair, or a composite thereof, and among them, it is easy to manufacture the napped linear body because it is a plastic fiber. It is preferable from the point of being the point of being, and the point which is not easy to produce | generate and the damage of a mesh at the time of the screen door cleaning.
In the case where the napped in the napped linear body is formed from a plastic fiber, it is preferably formed from a synthetic fiber having flexibility such as polyolefin fiber, polyester fiber, nylon fiber, polyvinyl alcohol fiber, and in particular, formed from polyester fiber. Is preferred.
The napping in the napped linear body may be formed from straight fibers without crimps, or may be a combination of fibers without crimps and crimped fibers. 5 to 80%, especially 10 to 50% of the total number of napped hairs in the napped linear body is made into crimped fibers, and the naps made of the crimped fibers are used in the length direction of the napped linear body. When the brush member is formed from the napped linear body that is uniformly dispersed, the cleaning liquid retention ability is improved.

It is preferable that the thickness (diameter) of the napped in the napped linear body [the diameter of individual fibers (napped) forming tufts in the tufted napped group] is 0.001 to 2 mm, 0.003 More preferably, it is -0.3mm, and it is still more preferable that it is 0.01-0.1mm. If the napping is too thin, the napping does not stand up from the linear body and falls into the mesh of the screen door, and the cleaning efficiency decreases. On the other hand, if napping is too thick, it will be difficult to be inserted into the mesh of the screen door, and the cleaning efficiency will be lowered. It tends to occur.
The number of napped hairs in the napped linear body (the number of individual fibers forming a tufted napped group in the case of a tufted napped group) is the length of the napped linear body (length along the length direction). ) 50 to 3000 per 25 mm is preferable, and 500 to 2000 is more preferable. In addition, the thickness (diameter) of one tufted nap group (diameter of the portion most closely converged at the root portion of the tuft) is 0.05 to 1.5 mm, particularly 0.1 to 1 mm. preferable. By setting the number of raised hairs and the thickness of the tufted raised hair group as described above, the production of the raised hair linear body is facilitated, and the formation of the brush member from the raised hair linear body is facilitated. In addition, the screen door has good cleaning performance, and when the screen door cleaning tool soiled by cleaning the screen door is immersed in the cleaning liquid to remove the dirt adhering to the brush member, the dirt is easily removed.

Since the length of the napped in the napped linear body (the length from the napped base to the napped tip held by the linear body) is 3 to 20 mm, particularly 5 to 15 mm, it is formed from the napped linear body. From the viewpoints of cleaning performance and durability of the brush member. If the napping is too short, it will not be inserted into the mesh when cleaning the screen door, and the cleaning performance will deteriorate. On the other hand, if the napping is too long, the napping will fall without standing, and it will be difficult to enter the mesh when cleaning the screen door, and the cleaning performance will also easily deteriorate.
In the napped linear body, the length of napped may be the same in all napped groups, or, for example, a long and short one may be mixed in one tufted napped group.

In the napped linear body, napped (tufted napped group) can be provided at equal intervals along the length direction of the napped linear body, and a screen door cleaning tool provided with a brush member formed from the napped linear body. When the screen door is used for cleaning, the entire screen door can be uniformly cleaned, and the dirty brush member can be washed well, which is preferable.
The distance between nappings in the napped linear body (when napping consists of tufted napping groups, the distance between one tufted napping group and a tufted napping group located next to it) is napped. An appropriate distance can be adopted according to the shape of the brush member formed from the hair linear body, the standing structure of the raised hair in the raised hair linear body, the thickness of the raised hair (the tufted hair group) in the raised hair linear body, etc. In general, the thickness is 0.1 to 10 mm, particularly 0.2 to 1 mm, the ease of manufacturing the napped linear body, the cleaning performance of the brush member formed from the napped linear body, and the retention of the cleaning liquid It is preferable from the viewpoint of sex.

  In the napped linear body, the napped and linear body may be formed from the same material or may be formed from different materials. In addition, the napped linear body may be manufactured by integral molding, or may be produced by using an appropriate method [for example, twisted yarn, braided fiber, etc. (Russell knitting), heat fusion, adhesive, etc.] may be formed by bonding or attaching to the linear body.

The brush member formed from the above-mentioned napped linear body has a predetermined length, and the napped (tufted napped group) of the napped linear body used for forming the brush member is the outer periphery of the brush member. As long as it has a structure projecting outward over the predetermined length of the brush member, any may be used.
In the brush member, when a large number of nappings that protrude outwardly over the length of the brush member on the outer periphery of the brush member are surrounded from the outside while being in contact with the tips of the nappings on a virtual enveloping surface, It is preferable that the surrounding surface is formed in a cylindrical shape or a substantially cylindrical shape in order to clean the entire screen door cleanly without causing the direction of dirt to be removed. That is, in the brush member that constitutes the screen door cleaning tool, the nappings (tufted napping groups) of the napped linear bodies forming the brush member have the same height around the brush member over the entire length of the brush member. It is preferable from the point that a screen door cleaning tool having an excellent cleaning function can be obtained.
