Description

The present invention wipes away the wrinkles scattered on the rim and floor of the toilet when urinating in the standing position, or wipes the stool slightly attached to the toilet without flowing even if washed with water after the end of the stool It is related with the toilet bowl simple cleaning tool which can do.

When a man urinated in a standing position, splashes were often scattered on the edge 6 of the toilet 1 and the surrounding floor 2. The spider 13 attached to the edge 6 of the porcelain western-style toilet bowl dried and turned yellow over time, and the person who entered later was not comfortable when looking at it. In addition, if left as it is, the ridges 13 that fell on the floor 2 discolored and soiled the floor, causing the life of the flooring to be shortened. Therefore, the sputtered squirrel 13 must be wiped off immediately. However, only suitable tools for wiping this off are found with patterned cleaning tools and cleaning sheets that can be washed in water. Therefore, since it is troublesome to take out and use such a cleaning tool, cut out the toilet paper of a nearby cigaretter to an appropriate length, fold it several times, hold it in your hand, and you can not see with your eyes I felt uneasy that the urging urine might get in my hand, but I put up with the bad feelings, wiped it against the wall 13 and wiped it away. Therefore, I had to wash my hands more carefully than usual.

Moreover, after sitting on the toilet bowl 1 and urinating the stool, the butt is wiped off, and flush water is poured to flush the stool. However, it is sometimes the case that a small amount of stool adheres to the toilet without flowing cleanly and this does not flow no matter how many times the water flows. If the stool 13 adhering to the dry surface part 3 of the Western-style toilet 1 is left as it is, it will dry and discolor, and it will be very unpleasant when the next person uses it. And even if the stool that has dried and stuck to the toilet bowl is cleaned, it is much harder to drop than immediately after. Therefore, it must be wiped off immediately, and this is etiquette for the next person. However, since there is no appropriate cleaning tool in the immediate vicinity, cut the toilet paper to an appropriate length, fold it several times, put up with patience, hold it directly in your hand, press against this dirt and wipe it off It was thrown away in the water of the puddle part 5. Since the dry surface 3 immediately after washing with water is still slightly wet, the toilet paper, which absorbs a large amount of water even when wiping off a small amount of stool, is soaked with water, and the wet stool 13 is also soaked. Because of this, I thought that it might stick to my fingertips, but I had to help unsanitary actions. And later I had to wash my hands again and again.

There are many people who feel uncomfortable doing this. Such a person can remove a sardine with a handle for cleaning the toilet bowl or a cleaning tool with a cleaning sheet attached to the tip of the handle from a storage device on the floor or a built-in storage, and wipe a few stools. I had to take it. After the work was completed, it had to be washed with water and stored. Originally, such a cleaning tool with a handle is used to sometimes stubbornly remove stubborn dirt adhering to the toilet bowl. It was too large to wipe off the slightly adhered dirt immediately after defecation as described above, which was not appropriate. In addition, water-degradable cleaning sheets soaked with disinfectant and the like have been commercially available in the past, but this is also a soft sheet with water absorption, similar to the toilet paper described above. Therefore, if you hold it directly and hold it against the cleaning area, the hand-held part and the cleaning part may stick together, and the stool that has soaked in may be attached to your hand. In addition, since the fingertips are wiped by wrapping with this sheet, a round fingertip has a narrow contact width with a toilet and cannot be wiped at once when the width of dirt is wide. For this reason, there are cases where it cannot be wiped off unless it is reciprocated several times. In addition, the original purpose of this cleaning sheet is to remove dry and stubborn dirt on complicated parts of the toilet. Since it is used from time to time, it is normal to store what is in a sealed container in the storage, and after defecation, it cannot be taken out while standing in front of the toilet bowl, and the sheet is taken out from the sealed container. It was time consuming and cumbersome and inconvenient.

The patterned cleaning tool was difficult to place in a small toilet, and it looked unclean and was not pleasant. In addition, the water-degradable cleaning sheet attached to the tip of the handle is a cleaning tool for occasionally cleaning stubborn stains that can be formed near the water line of the backside of the complicated structure of the toilet bowl and the puddle. As a simple cleaning tool like this application that will be consumed considerably, this relatively expensive sheet is used to wipe off slightly adhered urine stools and stools just after the above repeated daily. It was a waste to use one piece, and it was awkward to remove it from the storage.

Thus, as a conventional technique, there is a water-decomposable paper spatula that can efficiently remove dirt on a complicated structure of a toilet (see Patent Document 1). This may be good without immersing moisture in order to wipe off the dry dirt adhering to the smooth surface of the pottery. Due to the close proximity of a certain flat part 3, this paper, which has a strong water absorption, may cause moisture and stool to penetrate when the urine or stool that is still wet is wiped off. Wiping with was never pleasant. Also, the raw materials are expensive and the manufacturing process is complicated, so the manufacturing cost seems to be high.

In addition, there was one in which a water-decomposable sheet was processed into a corrugated shape and wound into a cylindrical shape to give strength to withstand scrubbing (see Patent Document 2). Again, this is good for scraping off stubborn dirt, but it's too exaggerated and too expensive to wipe off a little dirt.

In addition, there is a water-decomposable or water-soluble cleaning pad that can be thrown away in a flush toilet after cleaning. Was not suitable (see Patent Document 3).

Then, a water-soluble substance such as toilet paper and a substance such as water-soluble glue are mixed to form a clay, which is formed into a rod-like, spatula-like, U-shaped, rod-like nail shape, uneven shape, etc. There was a water-soluble scrubbing tool that was dried. These may be hard and strong enough to wipe stubborn dirt from time to time, but it may be nice, but this strength is not necessary for wiping off the urine of a urine or soft stool just after, and for daily use To put it close to the toilet bowl, it is difficult to place it, and it is too hard to dissolve in water and it is difficult to drain it into the toilet bowl. There is a statement that "I put it in the water and let it flow in the water after a while," but it will be difficult to wait in the toilet until you wipe it up and then wipe it off. (See Patent Document 4).

And there is a disposable wiping tool made of a water-degradable material, but it has a complicated structure and seems expensive, and it is difficult to place. (See Patent Document 5).

Further, there is a method of obtaining a water-decomposable disposable cleaning paper spatula having a strength as high as that of ordinary cardboard, but the purpose and means are described in paragraph No. 0007 and below (see Patent Document 6). . However, this is for stubborn dirt and is a description of a high-strength paperboard for a cleaning tool such as a paper spatula, although no drawing is attached. However, for the purpose of wiping the stool of urine or urine that is still wet just like the present invention, the strength up to that is not necessary, and as described in Example 1 and below. High-grade raw materials and advanced manufacturing processes will be expensive to manufacture. It seems that it is difficult to use it because it is too expensive for a cleaning tool that is used daily.

And I looked for a paper spatula for cleaning as described in the previous patent document 6 that has been put into practical use in pharmacies, etc. In order to prevent secondary infection such as norovirus in products that are also sold online It was found that vomit and filth were scraped and collected with a chili-like paper spatula. However, this was different from the present application.

The present invention is intended to solve such problems of the prior art, and the stool 14 slightly adhered to the dry surface portion 3 of the toilet bowl 1 even after being washed with water after the end of defecation, It is an object of the present invention to provide a toilet bowl simple cleaning tool 10 that can immediately wipe off the urine traps 13 scattered on the rim of the toilet bowl and the floor surface when urinating the urine at a low level and flush it with water.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the first problem-solving means of the present invention is a water-decomposable simple toilet cleaning device having an elongated flat plate-like hand-held portion and a wiping portion formed from a thick paperboard made of a papermaking raw material for toilet paper. It is a tool.

Then, in order to achieve the above object, the second problem solving means of the present invention is the toilet bowl simple cleaning tool according to claim 1, which can be stored in a storage container and attached to the toilet bowl.

The effects of the above problem solving means are as follows.
(1) Since the toilet bowl simple cleaning tool of the present invention stores a large number of sheets in a storage container and is attached to the side of the toilet bowl with a hooking hook or other latching tool, it is only necessary to reach out while standing in front of the toilet bowl. It can be taken out and can immediately start cleaning work.
(2) Because it is made of water-degradable raw material, it has a high water absorption rate and can easily absorb urine scum adhering to the edges of toilet bowls. You can also
(3) The slightly wet stool 14 attached to the drying surface portion 3 of the toilet 1 is held in the hand holding portion 11 of the cleaning tool, and the corner portion 121 of the cleaning portion 12 is moved to the drying surface portion 3. If you wipe it off at an angle of about 45 degrees, you can wipe it clean and easily. The dirt is almost removed at the first time, but if it still remains a little, it can be removed neatly by lightly wiping with the opposite corner 121 again. The minimum strength is secured by the thickness, width, etc. so that this cleaning tool will not bend even if it is pressed against about 45 degrees.
(4) Also, if the stool attached to the pottery part in the puddle part is left as it is, it will dissolve naturally and drop to the bottom, but there is no problem. If the stool adhering to the surface of the pottery immediately below is wiped quickly, it can be cleaned because it does not collapse in water for about 2 seconds.
(5) Since it is a thick paperboard having a large water absorption ratio that has been processed into a strip shape, a cutting knife shape, or a bee shape, the color becomes a wet color when the wiping portion gets wet during cleaning. As time passes, the wet color rises upward and it can be visually observed that it approaches the hand-held part. Since this cleaning tool has a sufficient length, if it is done quickly, it will not rise to the hand-held part, but since it is visible, it can be cleaned with confidence without getting the fingertips wet. Therefore, it is hygienic and not bad. Also, if it rises close to the finger, it can be thrown away in the toilet and replaced with a new one. This cleaning tool processed into a cutting knife has the advantage that the wiping part is wider than the strip-shaped one, but the sharp part of the tip quickly collapses when water is sucked, and it is different from the strip-shaped of the same width In either case, the effect will not change much, but if it is strip-shaped, it may be used as a hand-held part or a cleaning part, so a strip-shaped one will be more convenient. In addition, the parts processed into a bee shape have a wide and easy-to-use cleaning part, but the width of the hand-held part is narrow and inferior in strength compared to the wide cleaning part, or the shape is complicated and difficult to pack in the storage container This is not recommended.
(6) Since it is a water-decomposable cleaning tool made of a water-decomposable raw material, it can be passed directly to a toilet bowl after urine or stool is wiped off. Eliminates the hassle of taking out the cleaning tool with handle from the storage, washing the tip of the handle with water, drying it, and storing the cleaning tool in the storage again like before. be able to.
(7) Compared with the conventional cleaning sheet, the toilet bowl simple cleaning tool of the present invention uses waste paper as a raw material, and since the manufacturing process is simple, it can be manufactured at low cost.
(8) The toilet bowl simple cleaning tool of the present invention can be easily used to easily clean the toilet bowl and the surrounding area, and can keep every day comfortable and hygienic.

An example of the simple production method of the present invention will be described in (1) to (8) below.
(1) Household roll-shaped toilet paper (Kamiyama Paper, Silk White 12 Double. The raw material is 100% used paper) was used as the raw material. Cut this out 5 meters. The weight was about 20 grams.
(2) Put (1) in a wash basin containing about 2 liters of water and stir by hand for 2 to 3 minutes. The toilet paper will dissolve in water and be separated into fibers.
(3) Slowly pour (2) into a 180 mm diameter, 45 mm high, 10 mesh mesh sieve placed in the kitchen sink.
(4) Although it was about half of the sieve, if it is left as it is, it will be considerably finished in a few hours and will be about 10 mm thick.
-When this was dried in the sun for two days, it was completely dried, and a slightly elastic cardboard with a diameter of 180 mm and a weight of about 20 grams was obtained. The surface was flat with some irregularities such as meshes, and the thickness was about 4 mm.
(6) This was cut into a width of about 25 mm and a length of about 70 mm with a cutter knife to complete a strip-shaped simple cleaning tool.
(7) Check the strength of the simple cleaning tool (6). When holding the hand-held part 11 and pressing the corner part 121 of the cleaning part 12 against the upper plate of the cooking scale at an angle of about 45 degrees and applying the force directly below, it becomes 250 grams The middle part was bent because it could not withstand bending. On the other hand, in order to wipe off the soft stool adhering to the dry surface portion, it is possible to wipe it cleanly by applying a force of about 100 to 150 grams. For this reason, the soft stool 14 can be wiped cleanly without holding the intermediate portion bent in view of strength by holding the simple cleaning tool 10 of (6) in hand. Of course, it is possible to wipe cleanly with a force of 150 g or less in order to wipe away the urinal ridge 13 scattered on the edge of the toilet bowl and the floor.
(8) Also, when examining the water disintegration time of this simple cleaning tool, when this simple cleaning tool is thrown into a basin containing water, it immediately absorbs water (in 1 to 2 seconds). After sinking, it started to lose its shape in about 15 seconds, and when the water was stirred by hand, it was separated into fibers by water flow and dispersed in water in about 3 seconds. Toilet paper used as a raw material also loses its shape in about 5 seconds, and when water is stirred, it is separated into fibers by the water flow. Even if the processing described in (1) to (6) above is performed, glue etc. Since no connection was used, there was no significant difference in the hydrolysis time. Therefore, the toilet bowl is not clogged like toilet paper, and can be thrown away and flushed in a flush toilet.

Further, as described in the above-mentioned Patent Document 4, a water-degradable toilet paper added with water-soluble glue to form a clay and dried, the following (1) to (4) Try to say.
(1) Wrap and squeeze the product made in step (4) of the production method above, squeeze the water, add starch paste (commercially available FP10) that dissolves in water, and knead well by hand. At first, it did not become clayy at first, but it became clayy at about 20 grams. This was stretched into a plate shape having a thickness of about 5 mm on a desk and cut into a strip shape having a width of 30 mm and a length of about 80 mm.
(2) Although this was dried for two days in the sun, it was still moist, so when it was dried for about 30 minutes with a strong hair dryer, it dried and shrunk slightly, and the strip-shaped simple cleaning of the present invention described in (6) above Completed with the same dimensions as the tool.
(3) The simple cleaning tool made in this way was glued, making it hard and durable like wood. Examining the strength, holding the hand-held part in the hand, pressing the corner part 121 at an angle of about 45 degrees against the dish on the cooking scale and applying force vertically, 2000 grams Finally, it was strong enough to bend.
(4) Also, I examined the water disintegration time of a simple cleaning tool hard like this tree. When this simple cleaning tool was thrown into a basin containing water, it took about 10 seconds to absorb water and sank, but after 2 minutes it did not collapse, and after about 3 minutes it was picked with a finger. Although it bends a little, it is not in a state where it is soft. There was still no change in shape after 10 minutes. Even after 1 hour, 2 hours, and 24 hours, no deformation was observed. Since it is difficult to dissolve in water like this, it cannot be said that it is a water-degradable cleaning tool, and it cannot be flowed to the toilet in peace. From the viewpoint of strength and water disintegration time, it was unsuitable for a simple cleaning tool such as the present application, which was intended to wipe off the urine immediately after the urine and soft stool for a short time and to immediately flow it.

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the structure of a flush-type western-style toilet, but when a man urinates in a standing position, urine traps 13 are scattered on the rim 1 or the trap 13 falls on the floor 2. That is often the case. In addition, when sitting on a stool, the stool 13 may sometimes remain slightly attached to the pottery part in the dry surface part 3 or the puddle part 5 even if water is flowed after the stool ends. .

FIG. 2 is a front view showing the shape of the toilet bowl simple cleaning tool of the present invention, where (a) is a strip shape and (b) is a cutting knife shape. Each has a predetermined thickness, length and width. The thickness is about 4 mm, the width is about 25 mm, and the length is about 70 mm. As shown in FIG. 3, the hand-held part 11 is pinched with a finger to clean the cleaning part 12 with the drying surface part 3 of the toilet 1. It is applied at an angle of about 45 degrees, and the adhered soft stool is wiped off by rubbing it while pressing it with the corner portion 17 of the cleaning unit 12, but even if it is pressed with a force of about 250 grams It is strong enough not to bend, but for safety, it will not bend if pressed and wiped off with a force of about 100 grams. In addition, since the corner portion 121 has some elasticity, it is easy to adjust to the surface of the pottery, and when it gets wet with a little remaining water, the corner portion 121 is slightly deformed and the entire width is in close contact with the pottery surface. The remaining stool can be wiped off at once. If you still have a little left, you can clean it with a light wipe again. And if this is dropped into the puddle portion 5 and the water is made to flow, it becomes fibrous and can be loosened into the water and flowed together.

In addition, the length is about 70 mm and it is easy to pinch the handheld part 11 with your thumb and forefinger, and there is a distance to the cleaning part 12, so if you work quickly, moisture will soak up to the handheld part and rise. I won't do it. Moreover, when the toilet bowl simple cleaning tool of the present invention formed in the above-described dimensions is dropped on the puddle portion 5, the shape is considerably broken in about 15 seconds. At that time, when water is flowed, it is completely decomposed by the water flow and mixed with water to flow. Therefore, the pipes and toilet bowls are not clogged. Also, a strip-shaped product with a thickness of about 1 mm was also prototyped. However, since it is too thin, the cleaning part 12 is quickly deformed when it gets wet with a small amount of moisture remaining on the dry surface part 3, making cleaning difficult. However, if the pressure is applied with a little force, the strength is insufficient, so that it will be bent immediately below the hand-held part. Therefore, it becomes unhygienic like folding the toilet paper as described above and wiping it off. It is effective to secure a certain level of strength by setting the thickness of the cardboard to about 3 mm or more. Alternatively, pressure may be applied at the manufacturing stage to increase the strength.

And the urinal urn 13 adhering to the edge 6 of the toilet bowl can be easily sucked or wiped by the simple cleaning tool 10 of the present invention. The urine trap 13 scattered on the floor 2 is also visible immediately after it is shining, so that it can be seen, and the simple cleaning tool 10 of the present invention stands at an angle of about 45 degrees with respect to the floor, and is 250 grams. It has the strength that can be pressed against the floor surface with a certain amount of force and can be cleaned, and because it has some elasticity, it is easy to adapt to the unevenness of the flooring material, and it is easy to wipe clean without getting your hands dirty it can. And the lifetime of a flooring is not shortened like before. And even if you accidentally spilled a lot of urine on the floor, a lot of simple cleaning tools 11 are prepared in a storage container 15 such as a box or bag, so if it gets wet, replace it with a new one. It can be cleaned without getting your hands dirty. The width of the cleaning tool is about 20 to 40 mm which is easy to use, but a few types may be prepared and used depending on the width of dirt.

In addition, when the cleaning unit 12 at the lower end is immersed in water, the wet color rises with time, and when the time is measured, the following results are obtained.
It was about 20 mm at 5 seconds, about 30 mm at 10 seconds, about 40 mm at 20 seconds, about 50 mm at 30 seconds, and about 70 mm at 60 seconds. Therefore, if the cleaning is completed within about 20 seconds, the wet color does not rise up to the hand-held portion 11, and a sufficient cleaning time is secured for slight dirt. Also, if there is a lot of dirt and one sheet is not enough, it can be cleaned without any problems by replacing it with a new simple cleaning tool 10. As shown in FIG. 4, the strip-shaped or cutting knife-shaped cleaning tool 10 as described above is packed in a storage container 15 such as a box or a bag, and is attached to the side surface of the tank 7 with a latching tool 15 such as a suction cup. If attached, it will not get in the way when cleaning the floor, etc., leaving no trace of attachment, and can be easily removed simply by reaching out while standing in front of the toilet. And every day, urine splashes and slightly attached stools can be cleaned immediately, and if they are poured into water, cleaning can be completed simply and hygienically.

When the toilet bowl cleaning tool of the present invention is mass-produced, it is usually used in the papermaking process through the process of dissolving, beating, selecting, and deinking the collected recovered paper at a paper mill that manufactures toilet paper. The toilet paper is thinly made with a machine, but this may be changed and thickly made into a thick paperboard, and then dried, molded, or molded and dried. Further, the bending strength may be increased by an appropriate pressure that does not impair the water disintegration time. In addition, in order to improve the water disintegration property, in many cases, recycled paper having a short fiber is used, and no glue or the like is used as a connecting paper. In addition, although it is possible to produce paper by making it into water-decomposable cardboard, it may be dehydrated and molded in a mold, but the production cost will be high.

Explanatory drawing of this invention. The front view which shows the Example of this invention. The expanded sectional view which shows the Example of this invention. The perspective view which shows the Example of this invention.

If a paper manufacturer that manufactures toilet paper manufactures the toilet bowl simple cleaning tool of the present invention, it is likely that there will be much demand, so it can be developed as a new business.
