The embodiment for carrying out will be described below. The same members and the like are designated by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted.

First, a cleaning tool for adhering dust and hair on the floor or the like to the adhesive surface by rolling an adhesive tape wound in a roll shape on the floor or the like so that the adhesive surface is on the outside will be described. For example, when cleaning a living room or the like, such a cleaning tool is placed on the floor of the living room or the like with the cleaning tool stored in a storage case so that the cleaning can be performed quickly. It is preferable that it is placed in. That is, in order to perform cleaning quickly and easily, it is preferable that the cleaning tool unit is placed in the living room.

By the way, in the living room, it is easier to feel relaxed without being cluttered if practical household tools such as cleaning tools are not placed. In addition, not only the residents living in the dwelling but also the people who do not live in the dwelling may visit the living room as guests. When the cleaning tool unit is placed on the floor of the living room, the cleaning tool unit is visible to the visiting guest, so it is preferable to keep the housework tools out of the customer's eyes as much as possible.

Here, a study was conducted on the case where the cleaning tool unit was visually recognized. As a result, in particular, when the adhesive tape wound in a roll shape is visually recognized, it is easily recalled as a cleaning tool, and even when the connection portion formed by bending the metal rod is visually recognized, it is easily recalled as a cleaning tool. .. However, it is difficult to think that it is a cleaning tool uniquely because it is not possible to know what purpose it is used for just by visually recognizing the handle.

The present invention has been made from such a viewpoint, and provides a cleaning tool unit that does not remind as much as possible that it is a cleaning tool even if the cleaning tool unit is placed in a room such as a living room.

(Cleaning tool unit)
Next, the cleaning tool unit according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the cleaning tool unit according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a front view. The cleaning tool unit 10 in the present embodiment has a cleaning tool 20 and a storage case 30 for storing the cleaning tool 20. An adhesive tape 40 wound in a roll shape is attached to the cleaning tool 20.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the cleaning tool unit according to the present embodiment has an adhesive tape wound in a roll shape and a connecting portion of the cleaning tool 20 when the cleaning tool unit 10 is viewed from the front or the like. Since it is formed so that it cannot be seen, it is difficult to recall that it is a unique cleaning tool.

(Cleaning tool)
Next, the cleaning tool 20 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. The cleaning tool 20 according to the present embodiment includes a handle 21 held by a human hand, a shaft portion 22 inserted into a center hole of an adhesive tape wound in a roll shape, and a connecting portion 23 connecting the handle 21 and the shaft portion 22. have.

As shown in FIG. 5, the handle 21 is formed of a resin material in a rod shape, and has a cylindrical outer shape having a diameter of about 20 mm. The end surface 21a at one end of the handle 21 is provided with an opening hole 21b having a diameter slightly wider than 6 mm. On the end face 21a side, which is the entrance of the opening hole 21b, an inclined portion 21c whose diameter gradually increases from the back toward the end face 21a is formed. The diameter of the inclined portion 21c on the end face 21a is about 10 mm.

The shaft portion 22 is formed in a columnar shape by the resin material, and can be inserted into the center hole of the adhesive tape wound in a roll shape.

The connecting portion 23 is formed by bending a metal rod having a diameter of about 6 mm. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the connecting portion 23 includes a first vertical portion 23a, a first bent portion 23b, a first horizontal portion 23c, a second bent portion 23d, and a second vertical portion. It has a portion 23e, a third bent portion 23f, and a second horizontal portion 23g.

The first horizontal portion 23c is formed by bending the first vertical portion 23a at a substantially right angle with respect to the extending direction of the first vertical portion 23a. Further, the second vertical portion 23e is formed by bending the second horizontal portion 23d at a substantially right angle with respect to the extending direction of the first horizontal portion 23c. The second horizontal portion 23g is formed by bending the second vertical portion 23e at a substantially right angle with respect to the extending direction of the second vertical portion 23e.

The bending directions of the first bent portion 23b and the second bent portion 23d are opposite, and the extending direction of the first vertical portion 23a and the extending direction of the second vertical portion 23e are substantially parallel. Further, the bending directions of the second bent portion 23d and the third bent portion 23f are the same, and the extending direction of the first horizontal portion 23c and the extending direction of the second horizontal portion 23g are substantially parallel. is there.

Further, at the end of the first vertical portion 23a of the connecting portion 23, a barb 23h wider than the other portions is provided. The width of the barb 23h is about 7 mm.

In the cleaning tool 20 of the present embodiment, a part of the first vertical portion 23a of the connecting portion 23 is inserted into the opening hole 21b provided in the end surface 21a of the handle 21. A barb 23h is provided at the end of the first vertical portion 23a, and when the first vertical portion 23a of the connecting portion 23 is completely inserted into the opening hole 21b of the handle 21, the opening of the handle 21 is opened. Since the barb 23h of the connecting portion 23 is caught in the hole 21b, the handle 21 and the connecting portion 23 cannot be easily disengaged.

Further, although the connecting portion 23 is formed by bending a metal rod, it is not easy in terms of processing to bend the bent portion at a perfect right angle. Therefore, the first bent portion 23b, the second bent portion 23d, and the third bent portion 23f are bent, for example, at the center of the metal rod with a radius of curvature such that they are R6 and R7.

Since the first bent portion 23b is bent with a predetermined radius of curvature, the first bent portion 23b of the connecting portion 23 does not enter the opening hole 21b of the handle 21. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, a part of the first bent portion 23b is inserted into the inclined portion 21c of the opening hole 21b of the handle 21. As a result, the end surface 21a of the handle 21 and the upper side of the first horizontal portion 23c of the connecting portion 23 can be made substantially the same height. This is to prevent the connecting portion 23 from being seen when the cleaning tool 20 is stored in the storage case 30, as will be described later. The height of the end surface 21a of the handle 21 and the upper side of the first horizontal portion 23c of the connecting portion 23 is substantially the same as the height of the end surface 21a of the handle 21 and the upper side of the first horizontal portion 23c of the connecting portion 23. The difference in height is slight, specifically, the case where the difference in height is 0 mm or more and 2 mm or less is included.

Further, the second horizontal portion 23g of the connecting portion 23 is inserted into an opening hole (not shown) provided in the shaft portion 22, and the shaft portion 22 is connected to the connecting portion 23 in a rotatable state.

(Storage case)
Next, the storage case 30 in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 11. 8 is a perspective view of the storage case 30 according to the present embodiment, FIG. 9 is a top view, FIG. 10 is a front view, and FIG. 11 is a side view.

The storage case 30 in the present embodiment is formed in a tubular shape having a substantially quadrangular cross section. Specifically, it is formed by a top plate portion 31, two horizontal plate portions 32, and a bottom plate portion 33. The upper plate portion 31 and the horizontal plate portion 32 are connected in a substantially vertical state between the surface of the upper plate portion 31 and the surface of the horizontal plate portion 32, and the horizontal plate portion 32 and the bottom plate portion 33 are laterally connected to each other. The surface of the plate portion 32 and the surface of the bottom plate portion 33 are connected in a substantially vertical state. Such a square tubular space surrounded by the upper plate portion 31, the two horizontal plate portions 32, and the bottom plate portion 33 is the storage area 34. In the storage area 34, the shaft portion 22 of the cleaning tool 20 according to the present embodiment and the adhesive tape wound in a roll shape attached to the shaft portion 22 can be put, thereby cleaning the storage case 30. The tool 20 is stored.

The upper surface 31a of the upper plate portion 31 has a substantially flat surface as a whole, and a groove 35 is provided in the central portion of the upper plate portion 31. The groove 35 is provided linearly in the same direction as the extension direction of the storage area 34. Further, in the central portion of the groove 35, a recess 36 recessed from the upper surface 31a of the upper plate portion 31 is provided. The groove 35 is formed so that the first horizontal portion 23c of the connecting portion 23 of the cleaning tool 20 is inserted, and the width of the groove 35 is slightly wider than 6 mm and the depth is about 7.5 mm.

The recess 36 is formed so that the end surface 21a of the handle 21 of the cleaning tool 20 can be inserted, has a circular diameter of about 20.4 mm, and has a depth of about 1 mm.

The storage case 30 is provided with a recess 36 so that the cleaning tool 20 can be stored at a predetermined position of the storage case 30. Therefore, when the end surface 21a of the handle 21 of the cleaning tool 20 is inserted in the recess 36 of the storage case 30, the cleaning tool 20 does not easily slide and move along the groove 35, and the cleaning tool 20 can be easily moved. It prevents the storage case 30 from going out of the storage case 30.

If the depth of the recess 36 is too shallow, the cleaning tool 20 easily slides along the groove 35 and becomes easy to move. For example, when the storage case 30 is tilted, the cleaning tool 20 is more easily moved than the storage case 30. It's easy to get out. Further, if the depth of the recess 36 is too deep, it is necessary to increase the depth of the groove 35 accordingly, which narrows the storage area 34 and makes it impossible to insert an adhesive tape having a large diameter. Therefore, the depth of the groove 35 is preferably 0.5 mm or more and 2.0 mm or less, and more preferably 0.7 mm or more and 1.5 mm or less.

When the end surface 21a of the handle 21 of the cleaning tool 20 is contained in the recess 36 of the upper plate portion 31 of the storage case 30, the bottom surface of the recess 36 of the upper plate portion 31 of the storage case 30 and the handle 21 of the cleaning tool 20 The cleaning tool 20 is supported at this portion, which is in contact with the end surface 21a of the. Therefore, in this state, it is preferable that the bottom of the groove 35 and the lower side of the first horizontal portion 23c of the connecting portion 23 of the cleaning tool 20 are not in contact with each other as much as possible.

In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the cleaning tool 20 is slid and moved along the groove 35 of the storage case 30 from the state where the cleaning tool 20 is stored in the storage case 30. As a result, the cleaning tool 20 can be taken out of the storage case 30. At this time, the handle 21 of the cleaning tool 20 inserted in the recess 36 is once lifted slightly and slid along the groove 35. Specifically, after the end surface 21a of the handle 21 completely protrudes from the recess 36, the end surface 21a of the handle 21 of the cleaning tool 20 and the upper surface 31a of the upper plate portion 31 of the storage case 30 are in contact with each other. Then, slide it along the groove 35.

In this state, the bottom of the groove 35 is not in contact with the lower side of the first horizontal portion 23c of the connecting portion 23 of the cleaning tool 20, and the portion where the cleaning tool 20 and the storage case 30 are in contact is not in contact with each other. The contact area is extremely narrow because it is only the contact portion between the upper surface 31a of the upper plate portion 31 of the storage case 30 and the end surface 21a of the handle 21 of the cleaning tool 20. Therefore, there is little resistance when the cleaning tool 20 is slid along the groove 35 of the storage case 30, and when the cleaning tool 20 is stored in the storage case 30 or when the stored cleaning tool 20 is taken out from the storage case 30. The force applied to the cleaning tool 20 is small, and it is possible to prevent the storage case 30 from moving as the cleaning tool 20 slides along the groove 35.

Further, the external shape of the adhesive tape 40 wound in a roll shape so that the adhesive surface is on the outside is cylindrical, whereas the storage case 30 is formed in a cylindrical shape having a substantially quadrangular cross section. It does not reflect the appearance shape of the adhesive tape 40 wound in a roll shape. That is, the storage case 30 does not have a curved surface that is the same as the curvature of the curved surface of the columnar adhesive tape or has a large radius of curvature. Therefore, even if the cleaning tool unit 10 in the present embodiment is visually recognized, it is difficult to recall that it is a cleaning tool.

Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13, a plurality of recesses 36 may be provided in the upper plate portion 31 of the storage case 30. By providing the upper plate portion 31 of the storage case 30 with a plurality of recesses 36, the cleaning tool 20 can be stably supported at the position where each recess 36 is provided. For example, when the cleaning tool 20 is placed in the recess 36 other than the central recess 36, the work can be performed in a state where the adhesive surface of the adhesive tape is floating in the air, which facilitates the work.

Although the embodiments have been described in detail above, the embodiments are not limited to the specific embodiments, and various modifications and changes can be made within the scope of the claims.
