[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cleaning sponge used for cleaning floors, tiles, window glass, automobile bodies and the like.

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION When a soft sponge material such as a cellulose sponge is moistened with water to wipe a surface to be cleaned such as a floor surface, the sponge material absorbs dirt and dust. Thus, the surface to be cleaned can be cleaned. However, dirt that has clung to the surface to be cleaned to some extent cannot be separated from the surface to be cleaned simply by wiping with a soft sponge material, and it is necessary to remove such dirt using another cleaning tool. Therefore, it is one of the factors that reduce the efficiency of the cleaning work.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art, and its purpose is to scratch the surface to be cleaned with dirt sticking to the surface to be cleaned. It is an object of the present invention to provide a cleaning sponge body that does not exist and can be effectively separated from the surface to be cleaned to perform the cleaning operation efficiently.

[0004]

To achieve the above object, the cleaning sponge body of the present invention comprises a sponge body having relatively high water absorbency and flexibility, and a rubber plate body having relatively low flexibility. With the edge of the rubber-like plate located on the surface of the sponge body, both sides of the rubber-like plate are sandwiched between the slit-like parts provided in the sponge. Therefore, at least both side surfaces of the edge portion of the rubber plate are not fixed to the slit portion.

[0005]

[Function] When the sponge body is moistened with water and the surface to be cleaned is wiped with the surface where the edge of the rubber plate is located on the surface using the sponge body, the surface of the sponge body and the rubber plate are The edge of the body moves while contacting the surface to be cleaned.

At least the edge portions of the rubber-like plate member are not fixed to the slit-like portions on both side surfaces thereof, and have a high degree of freedom with respect to the sponge member. Therefore, the sponge body receives a compressive force between it and the surface to be cleaned, or receives a shearing force from the surface to be cleaned, so that the edge portion of the rubber-like plate body projects from the surface portion of the sponge body, It deforms with or without the sponge body.

The sponge body absorbs dirt and dust on the surface to be cleaned, and the dirt clinging to the surface to be cleaned does not damage the surface to be cleaned by the edge portion of the rubber plate having relatively low flexibility. The surface to be cleaned is effectively separated, and the separated dirt is absorbed by the sponge body. Stick to the surface to be cleaned
The dirt is separated by the edge of the rubber plate, so the floor surface
On the relatively flat surface to be cleaned, etc.
Dirt sticking to the surface to be cleaned by contacting them evenly
Can be comprehensively separated.

Since both sides of the rubber-like plate are sandwiched between the slit-like portions provided in the sponge body, at least when the surface to be cleaned is wiped while moving the sponge body in any direction. The side surface of the base portion of the rubber plate body is supported by the sponge bodies on both sides of the slit-shaped portion. for that reason,
The stiffness of the rubber plate becomes stronger, and
If the effect of separating dirt that adheres to the surface to be cleaned increases
Both have good durability of rubber-like plate holding by sponge body
It becomes something .

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 to 4 relate to a cleaning tool as one embodiment of the present invention, in which FIG. 1 is a front view of a main part, FIG. 2 is a bottom view, and FIG. 3 is a side view of a main part of a rubber plate body, FIG. 4 is a front view of the relevant part.

The cleaning sponge body 10 is made of fine-grained cellulose and has relatively high water absorbency and flexibility. The sponge body 10 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape, and has two parallel slit-shaped portions 12 opening to the bottom surface 10a between both ends in the longitudinal direction. In this embodiment, the depth of these slit-like portions 12 is about one half of the thickness of the sponge body 10.

Each slit-shaped portion 12 has a sponge body 10
Rectangle rubber plate 14 having a relatively low flexibility as compared with
Is inserted. The upper end 14a of the rubber-like plate 14 is
The rubber plate 14 is slightly expanded to both sides and bites into both side walls of the upper end of the slit-shaped portion 12 of the sponge body 10.
And an upper surface of the slit-shaped portion 12 and both side surfaces of the slit-shaped portion 12 are bonded by an adhesive 16. This prevents the rubber-like plate body 14 from falling off the slit-like portion 12.

As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, a large number of small projections 18 are evenly provided on both sides of the lower portion 14b of the rubber-like plate member 14, and the lower portion 14b of the rubber-like plate member 14 and the slit-like shape. It is not adhered to the portion 12. Both sides of the lower portion 14b of the rubber-like plate member 14 are not fixed to the slit-shaped portion 12 and have a high degree of freedom with respect to the sponge member 10.

A pipe 20 is embedded at an intermediate position in the longitudinal direction of the left and right central portions of the sponge body 10 in FIGS.
The ends of the fittings 22 connected to the handle (not shown) of the cleaning tool at both ends of the pipe 20 through cuts (not shown) provided at both ends of the pipe 20 on the upper side of the sponge body 10. Has been inserted.

When the surface to be cleaned is wiped with the bottom surface 10a while the sponge body 10 is soaked in water and moved in the lateral direction, the bottom surface 10a of the sponge body 10 and the lower end of the rubber-like plate body 14 are cleaned. The rubber-like plate 14 moves in a direction orthogonal to the side surface while contacting the surface.

Since the lower portion 14b of the rubber-like plate 14 has a large degree of freedom with respect to the sponge body 10, the sponge body 10 receives a compressive force between the handle and the surface to be cleaned, or shearing force from the surface to be cleaned due to friction. When the rubber-like plate 14 is received, the lower end of the rubber-like plate 14 projects from the bottom surface 10a of the sponge body 10, together with the sponge body 10, or the sponge body 10.
Transforms independently of.

As a result, the sponge body 10 absorbs dirt and dust on the surface to be cleaned, and as for the dirt stuck to the surface to be cleaned, the lower end portion of the rubber plate 14 having a relatively low flexibility is the surface to be cleaned. Is effectively separated from the surface to be cleaned without damaging it, and the sponge body 10 absorbs the separated dirt. A rubber plate is used to separate dirt that has clung to the surface to be cleaned.
Since it depends on the lower end of the body 14, it is possible to clean the floor surface relatively flat.
The lower end of the rubber-like plate 14 is evenly contacted with the sweep surface.
To thoroughly separate dirt that has clung to the surface to be cleaned.
Can be made. Since many small protrusions 18 are evenly provided on both sides of the lower portion 14b of the rubber plate body 14,
The lower end of the rubber plate 14 is the bottom surface 10a of the sponge body 10.
By protruding from or deforming together with the sponge body 10 or independently of the sponge body 10, the group of small projections 18 moves while being in contact with the surface to be cleaned to enhance the effect of separating dirt from the surface to be cleaned.

The rubber-like plate 14 is substantially impermeable to water. Therefore, the water absorbed by the sponge body 10 is prevented from leaking through the rubber-like plate body 14.

Since both sides of the rubber plate 14 are sandwiched between the slit-like portions 12 provided on the sponge body 10, the surface to be cleaned is wiped while moving the sponge body 10 in any direction. However, at least the upper side surface of the rubber plate body 14 is supported by the sponge bodies 10 on both sides of the slit-shaped portion 12. Therefore, the waist of the rubber plate 14 is strong.
And the lower end of the rubber-like plate 14 causes a scrape on the surface to be cleaned.
The effect of separating clinging dirt is enhanced, and the durability of holding the rubber-like plate body 14 by the sponge body 10 is good .
