Description

  The present invention relates to a dust remover for sweeping and cleaning articles such as electrical appliances and furniture.

  This type of dust remover for sweeping and cleaning articles such as electrical appliances and furniture has been proposed in Patent Document 1, for example. The dust removal tool of Patent Document 1 includes a handle member and a cleaning member that is detachably attached to the handle member.

  The handle member includes a grip portion that is gripped by the user and a mounting portion that is a portion to which the cleaning member is attached. The mounting portion is formed in a flat plate shape. The cleaning member includes a flat bag-shaped core into which the mounting portion is inserted, and a fiber bundle laminated on both side surfaces of the bag-shaped core. The bag-shaped core is formed by joining the periphery of two nonwoven fabrics. Engagement cuts are formed in the short sides of both ends in the longitudinal direction of the bag-shaped core. A locking projection to be locked to the engagement cut is formed on the handle member mounting portion.

  In the dust removal tool described in Patent Document 1, the cleaning member and the handle member are assembled by inserting the handle member mounting portion into the bag-shaped core of the cleaning member and locking the locking protrusion with the engagement cut. Attach a dust remover. Dust can be removed by using the gripping portion of the handle member so that the user of the dust removal tool grips the surface of the dust removal object with the cleaning member. When the cleaning member is contaminated with dust, the user of the dust remover can remove the cleaning member from the handle member and wash it.

Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2015-51090

  However, the bag-shaped core of the cleaning member is made of a nonwoven fabric. For this reason, when the cleaning member is washed repeatedly, the bag-shaped core weakens, and the locking force between the locking projection and the engagement cut does not work. Then, the cleaning member comes off from the handle member during use of the dust remover.

  Then, this invention aims at provision of the dust removal tool which can suppress that a cleaning member remove | deviates from a handle member in use, even if it wash | cleans a cleaning member repeatedly.

  The dust remover according to the present invention includes a handle member and a cleaning member, and the handle member is a portion that attaches the cleaning member and a grip body portion that is gripped by a user and is formed in a flat plate shape.

Are arranged in a longitudinal direction which is a direction perpendicular to the width direction, and both sides in the width direction of the coated fiber surfaces are sewn and provided with sewn portions on both sides in the width direction. A plurality of fibers used in the bag-shaped core, and the sewing The distance between the is characterized in that it is substantially equal to the width of the mounting portion.

  Since the attachment part of the handle member can be inserted into and removed from the bag-like core of the cleaning member as in the above configuration, the cleaning member can be removed from the attachment part and washed. The distance between the sewing parts formed on both sides in the width direction of the coated fiber surface to be configured is set to be approximately equal to the width of the attachment part, so that the attachment part can be sacked even if the cleaning member is washed repeatedly. If it inserts in, a cleaning member will be reliably attached with respect to an attachment part by friction with a fiber.

  In the dust removing tool of the present invention, the pair of coated fiber surfaces can adopt a configuration in which a bag-like core planned fiber surface formed in a band shape is bent at an intermediate portion in the longitudinal direction.

  As in the above configuration, the bag-shaped core is formed by bending the bag-shaped core-planned fiber surface formed in a band shape, so that one side in the longitudinal direction of the bag-shaped core is closed.

  In the dust removal tool of the present invention, a configuration in which the pair of coated fiber surfaces are displaced from each other in the longitudinal direction in the insertion / extraction opening can be employed.

  If the pair of coated fiber surfaces are displaced from each other in the longitudinal direction in the insertion / extraction opening as in the above-described configuration, the handle member mounting portion is provided along one of the pair of coated fiber surfaces in the insertion / extraction opening. If it is made to do, it will be easy to insert an attaching part in a bag-shaped core.

  In the dust removal tool of the present invention, the dust removal fiber group is formed in a state where a large number of fibers constituting the bag-like core are raised at the end in the width direction, and the dust removal fiber group includes the bag-like core. The structure made into the hair leg which can be covered from the width direction both sides is employable.

  As in the above configuration, the dust removal fiber group covers the bag-shaped core, so that dust can be removed without being caught by the posture of the dust removal tool.

  According to the present invention, even when the cleaning member is removed from the handle member and repeatedly washed, the cleaning member is securely attached to the handle member, so that the cleaning member can be prevented from coming off from the handle member during use.

It is a perspective view showing the middle of inserting an attaching part in a bag-like core in a dust removal tool concerning one embodiment of the present invention. It is a single top view of the cleaning member. It is a schematic sectional drawing in the AA in FIG. It is a whole perspective view showing the use condition.

  Hereinafter, a dust remover according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The dust remover according to the present embodiment is used, for example, when sweeping and cleaning articles such as electrical appliances and furniture, and is also referred to as a brush or a mop.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the dust remover 1 includes a handle member 2 and a cleaning member 3 made of a large number of dust removing fibers as shown in FIG. 2. The handle member 2 includes a gripping body portion 4 gripped by a user and a mounting portion 5 that is a portion to which the cleaning member 3 is attached and is formed in a flat rectangular plate shape that is long in the longitudinal direction of the gripping body portion 4. Prepare. The grip body part 4 is extendable in the longitudinal direction, and the attachment part 5 is connected to the grip body part 4 so as to be rotatable. An air hole 7 b is formed in the grip body 4.

  The attachment portion 5 is formed in a flat rectangle having a thickness t that is sufficiently thinner than the length L and the width B. The length L is sufficiently longer than the width B. The front end surface of the attachment portion 5 is formed in an arc shape. Since the distal end surface is formed in an arc shape, it is easy to insert into the bag-shaped core 6 of the cleaning member 3 described later. The attachment portion 5 includes protrusions 5a that protrude on both sides in the width direction.

  The cleaning member 3 includes a bag-shaped core 6 and a dust removal fiber group 7. The dust removal fiber group 7 is provided on both sides of the bag-shaped core 6 in the width direction, and is formed by extending the fibers constituting the bag-shaped core 6 to both sides in the width direction.

  That is, the cleaning member 3 has a flat bag-shaped core 6 in which an insertion / extraction opening 8 is formed on at least one of both longitudinal sides of the attachment portion 5 so that the attachment portion 5 can be inserted and removed, and both ends of the bag-shaped core 6 in the width direction. And a dust removal fiber group 7 formed by extending fibers constituting the bag-shaped core 6. In the present embodiment, the insertion opening 8 is formed only on one side in the longitudinal direction of the bag-shaped core 6.

  The bag-shaped core 6 includes a pair of coated fiber surfaces 10 and 11 that face each other in the thickness direction of the attachment portion 5. The pair of coated fiber surfaces 10 and 11 are formed by arranging a large number of fibers in the longitudinal direction, which is a direction orthogonal to the width direction, and the both sides in the width direction of the coated fiber surfaces 10 and 11 are sewn together. Further, core forming sewing portions 22 and 22 described later are provided.

  As an example, the bag-shaped core 6 is manufactured in the order of (1) coated fiber surface forming step, (2) bristles alignment step, (3) bending step, (4) sewing step, and (5) raising step. .

The coated fiber surface forming step (1) will be described in detail. The coated fiber surface forming step is a step of forming a belt-shaped coated fiber surface that becomes the bag-shaped core 6. The dust removal fibers arranged in the longitudinal direction, which is a direction orthogonal to the width direction of the attachment portion 5, are sewn so as to form a fiber bundle group consisting of a large number of fiber bundles 12, as shown in FIG. A fiber surface is formed. A plurality of (at least three) sewing portions are formed. In this embodiment, five sewing parts are formed. That is, there are two end sewing parts 13 and 13 and three intermediate sewing parts 14 between the end sewing parts 13 and 13 on both sides in the width direction.

  The two first separation widths L1 between the intermediate sewing portions 14 are set equal. The second separation width L2 between the end sewing portions 13 and 13 and the intermediate sewing portion 14 on the end sewing portions 13 and 13 side is set to be slightly smaller than the first separation width L1. The end sewing parts 13 and 13 are sewn so as to bisect the fiber bundle 12 in the longitudinal direction. That is, the end sewing parts 13 and 13 are sewn so as to extend over the fiber bundle 12 adjacent in the longitudinal direction.

The bristle and feet alignment step (2) will be described in detail. The bristles alignment step is a step of cutting off the bristles of the dust removal fibers protruding outward in the width direction from both ends in the width direction (end sewn portions 13 and 13) with respect to the coated fiber surface, and adjusting the bristles. is there. The bristles are adjusted to a length that can cover the coated fiber surface (bag-shaped core 6) from both sides in the width direction.

The bending step (3) will be described in detail. The bending step is a step of bending the coated fiber surface at an intermediate portion in the longitudinal direction. By the bending process, the coated fiber surface is provided with a pair of coated fiber surfaces 10 and 11 that face each other in the thickness direction of the attachment portion 5. In this bending process, the other ends 20 and 21 in the longitudinal direction of the pair of coated fiber surfaces 10 and 11 are displaced in the longitudinal direction. At the other ends 20, 21 in the longitudinal direction of the coated fiber surfaces 10, 11 that have been displaced, the dust removal fibers protruding outward in the width direction from both ends in the width direction with respect to the coated fiber surfaces 10, 11 The bristle is cut shorter than the area dust removal fibers.

The sewing process (4) will be described in detail. The sewing process is a process in which both sides in the width direction of the coated fiber surfaces 10 and 11 are sewn to form the bag-shaped core 6. On both sides in the width direction of the coated fiber surfaces 10 and 11, core forming sewing portions 22 and 22 are formed. The core forming sewing portions 22 and 22 are formed adjacent to the end sewing portions 13 and 13 and outward in the width direction with respect to the end sewing portions 13 and 13. The separation dimension between the core forming sewing portions 22 and 22 and the intermediate sewing portion 14 closest to the core forming sewing portions 22 and 22 inward in the width direction is the first separation width L1. . The distance between the core forming sewing portions 22 and 22 is set substantially equal to the width of the mounting portion 5. When the bag-shaped core 6 is formed by bending the coated fiber surfaces 10 and 11 formed in a band shape, one side in the longitudinal direction of the bag-shaped core 6 is closed.

The raising process of (5) will be described in detail. The raising process is a process of raising the dust removing fibers protruding outward in the width direction from both ends in the width direction with respect to the coated fiber surfaces 10 and 11. On the other hand, the coated fiber surfaces 10 and 11 are regions that cannot be raised because they are sewn and bundled.

  The cleaning member 3 manufactured as described above has a flat bag-like core 6 in which the attachment portion 5 can be inserted and removed, and an insertion / extraction opening 8 is formed on at least one of both sides in the longitudinal direction, and the bag-like core 6. And a dust removal fiber group 7 formed by extending the fibers constituting the bag-shaped core 6 at both ends in the width direction.

  Since the attachment part 5 of the handle member 2 can be inserted into and removed from the bag-shaped core 6 of the cleaning member 3 as in the above configuration, the cleaning member 3 can be removed from the attachment part 5 and washed.

  The bag-shaped core 6 is made of fiber, and the distance between the core forming sewing portions 22 and 22 formed on both sides in the width direction of the coated fiber surfaces 10 and 11 constituting the bag-shaped core 6 is the width of the mounting portion 5. It is set approximately equal. Thus, even if the cleaning member 3 is washed repeatedly, when the attachment portion 5 is inserted into the bag-shaped core 6, the cleaning member 3 is reliably attached to the attachment portion 5 due to friction with the fibers. Further, the cleaning member 3 is unlikely to be detached from the attachment portion 5 due to friction between the fiber and the protrusion 5a.

  The other ends 20 and 21 in the longitudinal direction of the pair of coated fiber surfaces 10 and 11 are displaced in the longitudinal direction. If the pair of coated fiber surfaces 10 and 11 are displaced from each other in the longitudinal direction in the insertion / extraction opening 8, the handle member 2 is attached to one of the pair of coated fiber surfaces 10 and 11 in the insertion / extraction opening 8. If the part 5 is made to follow, the attachment part 5 can be easily inserted into the bag-shaped core 6. In addition, at the other ends 20 and 21 in the longitudinal direction of the coated fiber surfaces 10 and 11 that are shifted in position, the dust removing fibers protruding outward in the width direction from both ends in the width direction with respect to the coated fiber surfaces 10 and 11 are: The hair foot is cut shorter than the dust removing fibers in other regions. For this reason, when inserting the attachment part 5 in the bag-shaped core 6, the dust removal fiber does not interfere.

  The dust removal fiber group 7 is a hair leg that can cover the bag-shaped core 6 in the width direction. Therefore, the dust removal fiber group 7 can cover the bag-shaped core 6, and as shown in FIG. 4, the dust removal fiber group 7 can have a rectangular parallelepiped shape or a columnar shape, and thus the bag-shaped core 6 is used. The dust removal operation can be performed using the entire region of the dust removal fiber group 7 without exposing the bag-shaped core 6 (without exposing the bag-shaped core 6).

  The end sewn portions 13 and 13 are sewn so as to extend over the fiber bundle 12 adjacent in the longitudinal direction. For this reason, the fiber bundles 12 are more strongly integrated, the fibers are not easily frayed, and even if the cleaning member 3 is washed repeatedly, it can withstand long-term use.

  The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, it is good also as a structure which folds each coated fiber surface 10 and 11 in the thickness direction in the opening 8 part for insertion / extraction of a pair of coated fiber surface 10 and 11. FIG. If it does in this way, while being able to reinforce the longitudinal direction other side ends 20 and 21 of the covering fiber surfaces 10 and 11 corresponding to the opening 8 part for insertion and extraction, it becomes easy to insert the attachment part 5 by using the folded part as a guide. .

  In the said embodiment, the case where the opening 8 for insertion / extraction was formed only in the longitudinal direction one side of the bag-shaped core 6 was illustrated. However, instead of the step of bending the coated fiber surface in the middle in the longitudinal direction, a pair of separate coated fiber surfaces to be the bag-shaped core 6 are prepared, and both are formed by the core forming sewing portions 22 and 22. It can also be integrated. In this case, the insertion / extraction opening 8 is formed only in one longitudinal direction of the bag-shaped core 6, and the attachment portion 5 can be inserted from any of the insertion / extraction openings 8.
