TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a floor cleaning tool that is capable of collecting dirt and dust on a floor surface and wiping off dirt adhering to a floor surface.

Patent Document 1 discloses a wiping tool. This wiping tool consists of a gripping member and a cleaning head to which the gripping member is continuous. Holding means are provided at the four corners of the cleaning head, and each holding means is made of flexible and elastic synthetic resin, and includes a roughly rectangular top plate and a small area around the periphery of the top plate. It consists of a peripheral wall that falls from the inside.

The top plate is formed with a holding slit that extends in the longitudinal direction of the cleaning head when the holding means is attached to the cleaning head, and first and second opening slits that are continuous with the holding slit.

By pushing a part of the wiping sheet into the holding slit with your finger, the cleaning head can hold the wiping sheet. At this time, the first and second opening slits are connected to the holding slit. Since the wiping sheet is continuously formed, it is possible to easily deform the serrated portion and the linear portion in the pushing direction to push the wiping sheet into the holding slit.

Even if the wiping sheet of the wiping tool is strongly rubbed against the floor surface during cleaning, in the holding means of Patent Document 1, the wiping sheet will not come off from the cleaning head because it is strongly held by the slit in the top plate.

Good too. Further, the depth of the cut side 3c may be such that it passes through the cleaning portion 3, or an appropriate depth from the engaged surface 3b may be adopted.

On the entire back surface 3d of the main body part 3a, as shown in the cleaning part 3 shown in a circle in an enlarged view, a large number of fiber bundles 3f made of a plurality of fiber bristles 3e made of a hard resin such as nylon are arranged substantially uniformly. It is located in

The fiber bristles 3e constituting the fiber bundle 3f arranged at equal intervals are directed toward the tip at least in one direction A along the direction in which the gripping part 1 is mainly slid, and in this one direction A. It is expanded in the opposite direction and in the other direction B along the direction in which the grip portion 1 is mainly slid.

When gripping part 1 is gripped with one hand, the main sliding directions are one direction A and the other direction B along the longitudinal direction of cleaning part 3 as shown by the arrows, so that fiber bristles 3e are at least They are arranged to extend in directions along one direction A and the other direction B.

The cleaning sheet 4 attached to the floor cleaning tool is, for example, a commercially available non-woven fabric with a width of 20 cm, a length of 30 cm, and a thickness of about 0.5 mm, and may be a wet type cleaning sheet containing a liquid such as alcohol or a dry cleaning sheet. The sheet can be selected and installed as appropriate.

When using the floor cleaning tool, first, the hook engaging surface on the back surface of the attachment section 2 and the engaged surface 3b on the front surface of the cleaning section 3 are brought into surface engagement. As shown in FIG. 2, the notch side 3c is positioned within the through hole 2b of the attachment part 2, and the attachment part 2 is aligned and attached.

Subsequently, the cleaning section 3 attached to the attachment section 2 is placed approximately in the center of the expanded cleaning sheet 4, and the fiber bundle 3f is brought into contact with the surface 4a of the cleaning sheet 4. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the ends 4b of the cleaning sheet 4 on both sides in the longitudinal direction are passed through the through holes 2b of the attachment part 2, and pushed into the cut sides 3c of the cleaning part 3 with fingers.

FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line CC' in FIG. 3 when the cleaning sheet 4 is pushed in. Since the main body 3a is made of soft resin, the end 4b of the cleaning sheet 4 can be easily pushed into the cut side 3c. can. In this way, by inserting the ends 4b of the cleaning sheet 4 into the four notched sides 3c, the cleaning sheet 4 is fixed to the integrated mounting section 2 and cleaning section 3. Become.

Then, by pushing the end portion 4b of the cleaning sheet 4 into the cut side 3c, the cleaning sheet 4 is pulled in the longitudinal direction, and the surface 4a of the cleaning sheet 4 is pressed against the fiber bristles 3e.

When the tips of the fiber bristles 3e spreading in one direction A and the other direction B slide in one direction A and the other direction B, which are the main sliding directions of the floor cleaning tool, the cleaning sheet 4 , and a strong frictional force is generated against the cleaning sheet 4.

After cleaning the floor surface, the cleaning sheet 4 to which dust, dust, and dirt are attached is removed from the floor cleaning tool and discarded. If the floor surface is to be cleaned again, a new cleaning sheet 4 may be attached to the cleaning section 3 as described above.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a floor cleaning tool according to the second embodiment, and the same reference numerals as in the first embodiment indicate the same members. In the first embodiment, the part where the grip part 1 is gripped with one hand is approximately parallel to the surface 2a of the attachment part 2, whereas the grip part 1' of the floor cleaning tool in the second example is a straight rod-shaped body. It is.

Further, in the mop-shaped floor cleaning tool shown in FIG. 5, the grip portion 1' is attached to the attachment portion 2 in an oblique direction. The grip part 1' may be attached in a direction perpendicular to the attachment part 2, and furthermore, the tip 1a' of the grip part 1' can be rotated (not shown) to freely rotate the grip part 1' to an appropriate angle. It may also be fixed to the attachment part 2 via a section.

The attachment part 2, which can be attached to and removed from the cleaning part 3 using a hook-and-loop fastener, can be used alone without the cleaning part 3 attached thereto. The blade portion 2d used in this case is formed along the longitudinal direction on the side portion of the attachment portion 2, and the end side is made an acute angle toward the outside. This blade portion 2d is made of an elastic material such as silicone, and can remove deposits stuck to the floor surface in a scraping manner.

The main method of using the floor cleaning tool of Example 2 is the same as the floor cleaning tool of Example 1: the cleaning sheet 4 is attached to the floor cleaning tool before cleaning, and the cleaning sheet is removed and discarded after cleaning. The main sliding directions during cleaning are one direction D and the other direction E along the width direction of the cleaning section 3 as shown by arrows, and the fiber bristles 3e are moved at least in one direction D and the other direction E along the width direction of the cleaning section 3. They are arranged to spread out toward the other direction E.

Further, in both of the floor cleaning tools of Examples 1 and 2, the cleaning section 3 can clean the floor surface without attaching the cleaning sheet 4. In this case, since the fiber bristles 3e provided on the back surface of the cleaning part 3 function like a brush body, the fiber bristles 3e can also be used by directly rubbing the floor surface.

When used without attaching the cleaning sheet 4, the back surface 3d of the cleaning section 3 is washed with water or the like after cleaning. In this case, the cleaning section 3 may be removed from the attachment section 2 and cleaned.

As described above, according to the floor cleaning tool of the present invention, by arranging the fiber bristles 3e that generate a strong frictional force against the cleaning sheet 4 on the back surface of the cleaning section 3, the holding provided in the cleaning section 3 can be improved. Even if the cleaning sheet 4 is held by the cut edge 3c with a weak force, there is no risk that the cleaning sheet 4 will come off from the cleaning section 3 when the cleaning sheet 3 is strongly rubbed against the floor surface. Furthermore, whereas the top plate of a conventional wiping tool is easily damaged, the cut side 3c of the floor cleaning tool has a simple structure and will not be damaged even after long-term use.
