SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A water drop wiper with a tank according to the present invention for solving the above-mentioned problems is provided with a substantially dust-free wiper body, and a wiper body attached to the wiper body for collecting water drops collected by the wiper body. In a water drop wiper having a handle that also serves as a cylindrical water storage tank, a bellows-like flexible portion is provided at a connection neck portion of the handle to the wiper body, and the flexible portion is covered with the flexible portion. A tube to suppress the bending of the handle was fitted to the tube, and the tube was made movable between a bending-suppressed position covering the flexible portion and a bending-permitted position away from the flexible portion. It is characterized by the following.

In the above-mentioned water drop wiper with a tank,
In the middle part of the handle that also serves as the water storage tank, an enlarged part for increasing the tank capacity and a grip part at the lower end can be formed, and further, the wiper body has water between the handle and the handle. It is possible to provide a partition for restricting the flow, and to form a small hole in the partition.

[0007]

[Function] The above-mentioned water drop wiper has a handle that also serves as a tank, and the wiper body collects the water drops adhering to the target area such as the glass surface and the wall surface by using the wiper body. Can be stored. Normal scraping of water droplets is performed by holding the tube in a bending restraining position where the tube covers the bellows-like flexible portion of the handle and holding the flexible portion in a straight state. Therefore, the handle is not bent at the flexible portion of the handle. In addition, since an enormous portion for increasing the capacity of the tank is provided in the middle portion of the handle, a large amount of water droplets can be collected and stored, and the enormous portion does not hinder the work.

On the other hand, when collecting water droplets attached to the lower part of the glass door or the like, the pipe is moved to an allowable bending position away from the flexible portion of the handle, and the pipe is held in that state.
The handle is operated while avoiding collision or contact of the handle with the floor or the like due to the bending of the flexible portion. In this case, even if the grip portion side of the handle is lifted, a large amount of water does not flow out of the small hole of the partition wall in the handle due to the pressure drop in the handle. Thereby, the work of scraping water droplets from the lower part of the glass door can be easily performed, and the flexible part can be converted into a straight state or a bendable state only by changing the position of the pipe. .

Therefore, it is possible to easily perform the operation for collecting water droplets at the lower part of the glass door or the like, while increasing the size of the water storage tank as needed without reducing the capacity of the water storage tank.

It comprises a wiper main body 1 for scraping off water droplets and a handle 2 also serving as a water storage tank for storing the water droplets that have been scraped off. The wiper main body 1 has a substantially dustproof shape in which a front end portion 11 is open and a rear end portion 12 is closed in a box shape. The rear end portion 12 is formed so as to slightly project from a central portion, and projects. A water guide pipe 14 is connected to the central portion, and a rubber spatula 15 for scraping off water droplets having a tapered front end is attached to the front end of the bottom surface 13 of the wiper body 1.

An end of the water pipe 14 is fitted to a cylindrical handle 2 also serving as a water storage tank, and water inside the water pipe 14 between the wiper body 1 and the handle 2 is fitted inside the water pipe 14. A partition for regulating the flow is provided, and a small hole 16 is formed in the partition. This small hole 16 is desirably opened at a position higher than the central axis of the water pipe 14. The wiper body 1 can be integrally formed of a synthetic resin.

On the other hand, the handle 2 serving as a tank connected to the water pipe 14 is provided with a bellows-shaped flexible portion 21 at the connection neck thereof, and an enlarged portion 22 for increasing the tank capacity in the middle.
Are formed with a synthetic resin having a certain degree of flexibility but not excessively deformed by forming a grip portion 23 at the lower end.

The bellows-shaped flexible portion 21 is fitted with a pipe-shaped tube 30 for covering the flexible portion and suppressing bending of the handle 2 there. This tube 3
0 is a bending suppression position covering the flexible portion 21 and the flexible portion 2
The handle 2 is provided with a neck portion 24 for holding the tube 30 at the bendable position.

In order to temporarily hold the pipe 30 in the bending restraining position and the bending permissible position, as shown in the drawing, the wiper body 1 is provided with a fitting portion 17 that closely fits the pipe 30. Instead of the fitting portion, a locking means such as a protruding member which comes into pressure contact with the tube 30 in a frictional state can be provided. 25
Locking means can be provided.

In the wiper having the above-mentioned structure, the front end of the wiper body 1 is held upward with the handle 2 serving also as a tank, and the rubber spatula 1 is attached to a target portion such as a glass surface, a ceiling or a wall surface.
5 is pressed and slid to collect water droplets adhering thereto. Since the rear end portion 12 of the wiper body 1 has a funnel shape, the collected water droplets flow into the handle 2 serving as a tank through the water pipe 14 and the small hole 16 and are stored therein.

As shown in FIG. 2, a normal scraping of water droplets is performed by holding the tube 30 in a bending restraining position where the tube 30 covers the bellows-like flexible portion 21 of the handle 2, whereby the flexible portion 21 is moved. Is held in a straight state, and the gripping portion 23 at the lower end is gripped and operated.
