  The present invention will be described in detail based on the embodiment shown in FIGS.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a cleaning mop with the cleaning sheet of Example 1 removed, and FIG. 2 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of a main part with the cleaning sheet attached.

  The cleaning mop includes a mop base 11, a long handle 12, an elastic core member 13, and a cleaning sheet 14. The mop base portion 11 is made of a synthetic resin that is long in the width direction and has a U-shaped cross section with an opening facing downward, and a rod-like long handle 12 is rotatably connected to the upper portion of the mop base portion 11 via a pin 15. ing. Since the pin 15 is arranged along the short direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction which is the width direction of the mop base 11, the long handle 12 can be rotated with respect to the mop base 11 as indicated by an arrow along the longitudinal direction. Has been.

  An elastic core member 13 made of a soft member is inserted into and fixed to the opening facing the lower side of the mop base 11. The elastic core member 13 is composed of a resin foam made of a soft member made of synthetic resin such as polystyrene, urethane, ethylene / vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), etc., and has a horizontally long plate shape. The thickness of the lower part of the elastic core member 13 is larger than the thickness of the upper part, the cross section is often widened, the upper part is fixed to the mop base part 11, and the lower part is hung from the mop base part 11.

  Other than the elastic core member 13 in which the thickness of the lower part is larger than the thickness of the upper part, the elastic core member having the same thickness in the lower part and the upper part, or the thickness of the lower part is smaller than the upper part, and the cross section goes to the tip You may use the elastic core member of the shape which becomes thin gradually as it goes.

  The length of the elastic core member 13 in the longitudinal direction is longer than the length of the mop base 11 in the longitudinal direction. When the elastic core member 13 is fixed to the opening facing downward of the mop base 11, the elastic core member 13 Both ends in the longitudinal direction of 13 protrude from the both ends in the longitudinal direction of the mop base 11 to the side.

  A plurality of ridges 13a are provided on both surfaces of the elastic core member 13 in the horizontal direction, and further, for example, one groove groove 13b is formed on both surfaces in parallel with the ridges 13a. The groove 13b is provided closer to the upper mop base 11 than the protrusion 13a, and the elastic core member 13 can be easily bent.

  For example, two sheet locking portions 11a are formed on both sides of the mop base 11, and the cleaning sheet 14 can be locked and fixed to the push-type sheet locking portion 11a as required. ing. This sheet locking part 11a is formed in the thin part 11b on the side of the hollow part of the mop base 11, and a jagged broken part is provided in the thin part 11b, and a part of the cleaning sheet 14 is pushed into this broken part. Is locked. Moreover, the cleaning sheet 14 is removed by pulling it out of the sheet locking portion 11a, and the cleaning sheet 14 can be easily attached and detached.

  For example, the disposable cleaning sheet 14 made of a nonwoven fabric is made of a fibrous material that easily adheres to the surface, and is mounted so as to cover the lower surface and both side surfaces of the elastic core member 13. The cleaning sheet 14 is inserted into the mop base 11 by pushing the four portions of the cleaning sheet 14 into the sheet locking portion 11a of the mop base 11 from the outside. The cleaning sheet 14 may be a general cloth or paper material in addition to the non-woven fabric.

  The long handle 12 can be made of various materials such as wood, synthetic resin, and metal, but is preferably made of aluminum that is lightweight, has an appropriate strength, and does not rust. As with the long handle 12, the mop base 11 can be made of various materials such as wood, synthetic resin, and metal, but is preferably made of synthetic resin in terms of light weight and low cost. . The elastic core member 13 is preferably a soft synthetic resin foam in terms of light weight and low cost. Further, the length of the long handle 12 can be adjusted, and the long handle 12 is adjusted and fixed to an appropriate length according to the place to be cleaned.

  In use, the cleaning sheet 14 is attached to the elastic core member 13. When the elastic core member 13 covered with the cleaning sheet 14 is swept in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 3 like a ridge with respect to the floor surface, the surface of the elastic core member 13 is easily formed by the groove 13b on the surface of the elastic core member 13. The dust can be attached and swept out by the cleaning sheet 14 attached to the bent elastic core member 13. At this time, the long handle 12 can be rotated along the longitudinal direction of the mop base 11 with respect to the mop base 11 by the pin 15, but does not rotate in the arrow direction which is the short direction of the mop base 11. Therefore, even if the elastic core member 13 is moved in the direction of the arrow, the mop base 11 is not bent with respect to the short direction, which is the thickness direction.

  When sweeping out in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 3, the elastic core member 13 bends and dust can be swept out and wiped off by its elastic force. When swept in the direction of the arrow, the top of the ridge 13a of the bent elastic core member 13 is in contact with the cleaning sheet 14, and the cleaning sheet 14 is in contact with the floor surface. When the elastic core member 13 is slid along the floor surface in such a state, dust easily collects in the cleaning sheet 14 in the gap between the ridges 13a, and much dust is formed on the surface of the cleaning sheet 14. Dust can be attached. Furthermore, when the dust is swept out like dust, dust having a size that does not adhere to the cleaning sheet 14 can be collected.

  Moreover, since the thickness of the lower part of the elastic core member 13 is larger than the thickness of the upper part and the center of gravity of the elastic core member 13 is below, the elastic core member 13 can be easily bent when swept or wiped.

  Further, the dirt on the floor surface can be wiped off with the cleaning sheet 14 by strongly rubbing the elastic core member 13 against the floor surface as shown in FIG. Since the cleaning sheet 14 comes into contact with the tops of the ridges 13a of the elastic core member 13 and the floor surface is wiped by the cleaning sheets 14 in contact with the ridges 13a, the dirt on the floor surface can be effectively cleaned.

  It is possible to bend and wipe the elastic core member 13 while lifting the mop base 11 with the long handle 12 of the cleaning mop on the ceiling, wall surface, window glass surface and the like as well as the floor surface.

  For cleaning the gaps and grooves, as shown in FIG. 5, the lower surface and the corners of the elastic core member 13 are inserted into the gaps between the wall 16 and the furniture 17 and moved in the direction of the arrow, thereby cleaning with the cleaning sheet 14. Can do. In this case, since the long handle 12 can be rotated with respect to the longitudinal direction of the mop base 11, the mop base 11 is placed in a place that is difficult to reach by using this rotation, for example, a cramped place such as the back side of the refrigerator. Can be pushed in and cleaned.

  Since both ends of the elastic core member 13 protrude from the mop base 11, even if the elastic core member 13 is pushed into a cramped area such as the back side of the refrigerator, the end of the hard mop base 11 is There is no contact with furniture or the like, and the end of the elastic core member 13 is in contact with the wall surface or furniture, so that the wall surface or furniture is not damaged.

  Cleaning for moving the mop base 11 in the longitudinal direction can also be performed for cleaning such as blinds. Cleaning can be easily performed by sliding the mop base 11 lifted by the long handle 12 of the cleaning mop in the longitudinal direction along each blind.

  Moreover, since the width of the cleaning sheet 14 is longer than the width in the longitudinal direction of the elastic core member 13 and protrudes from the elastic core member 13, even when cleaning is performed using the lateral side surface of the elastic core member 13, The elastic core member 13 rarely contacts the surface to be cleaned directly.

  Moreover, when dust adheres to the surface of the cleaning sheet 14 and the dirt increases, or the cleaning sheet 14 is broken, the cleaning mop can be used as appropriate and the use of the cleaning mop can be continued.

  FIG. 6 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of a main part in a state where the cleaning sheet 14 is attached to the cleaning mop according to the second embodiment. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the member same as Example 1, and description is abbreviate | omitted.
