Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a cleaner having a wiping part in a loop state, and more particularly to a cleaner suitable for cleaning precision equipment and minute parts.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Up to now, a so-called cotton swab, which has cotton-like wiping parts fixed to both ends of a rod-shaped body, has been widely used for cleaning precision instruments and minute parts. Had a defect such as scratching the surface of, and easy removal of fiber debris.

In order to solve such a problem, for example, Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 2-112245 and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-24013 disclose a swab-like cleaner in which the wiping portion is made of ultrafine synthetic fiber. ing.

However, in the cleaner, since the wiping portion behaves integrally with the handle portion, the force of the hand is directly transmitted, which may damage minute parts and the like, and the wiping part causes the back surface of the part to be damaged. There was a problem that it may not reach.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the problems of the prior art described above, and to clean precision parts and micro parts without damaging the micro parts and cleaning the parts that cannot be reached by a cotton swab-like cleaner. It is to provide a suitable cleaner for.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 As a result of earnest studies by the present inventors in order to achieve the above object, as a result of the above-mentioned cleaner, when a wiping portion made of ultrafine synthetic fiber is arranged on the outer peripheral surface of a loop-shaped monofilament core, a desired cleaner is obtained. I found that

Thus, according to the present invention, in a cleaner comprising a handle portion and a wiping portion, the wiping portion comprises a linear body in which an ultrafine synthetic fiber structure is arranged on the outer peripheral surface of a monofilament core, and A cleaner is provided, which is characterized in that the shape has a loop state.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the cleaner of the present invention, wherein 1 is a handle part, 2 is a wiping part, and 3 is a fixing part.

The ultrafine synthetic fiber used in the present invention is preferably exemplified by synthetic fibers such as polyamide and polyester having a single fiber fineness of 0.01 to 1.0 denier.

When the single fiber fineness exceeds 1.0 denier, the surface of the object to be cleaned may be damaged or the cleaning performance may be deteriorated.

On the other hand, if the single fiber fineness is less than 0.01 denier, the fiber waste tends to fall off, which is not preferable.

As a method for obtaining the ultrafine synthetic fiber, a known method such as a direct spinning method, a superdraw method, a physical and chemical division such as a sea-island type composite fiber or a peeling division type composite fiber can be arbitrarily adopted.

Particularly preferred is a fiber obtained by splitting a splittable split type composite fiber composed of polyester and polyamide with an alkali.

Next, the ultrafine synthetic fiber is formed into a round braid, a woven or knitted fabric, or other fiber structure, and is wound around the outer peripheral surface of the monofilament core in a cylindrical shape or a spiral shape to form a linear shape. To form a wiping part.

At this time, it is preferable that the fiber structure is a round braid, since molding of the fiber structure and winding around the core can be performed at the same time.

Further, the monofilament used as the core may be one having flexibility and elasticity such that the wiping part can maintain a loop state, and synthetic fiber monofilament such as polyester or polyamide or metal fiber monofilament may be used. It is preferably exemplified.

Of these, monofilaments of 6-nylon and 6,6-nylon have suitable flexibility and elasticity, and are particularly preferred.

The fineness of the core is preferably 1000 to 4000 denier in the case of synthetic fiber monofilament. When the fineness is more than 4000 denier, the wiping portion lacks flexibility, while when the fineness is less than 1000 denier, elasticity is insufficient and the purpose of the present invention may not be achieved.

Next, the linear wiping portion is fixed to at least one end of the handle portion so as to form a loop state.

The method of fixing is not particularly limited, and as shown in FIG. 1, any method such as a method of covering with a heat-shrinkable tube and then heat-shrinking or a method of adhering with an adhesive can be adopted.

A plurality of the wiping parts may be fixed to the handle part.

The material of the handle portion is not limited, and any material such as paper, wood, metal, plastic, etc. can be used. The shape of the handle is not limited, and any shape can be used depending on the purpose of use.

In the thus-obtained cleaner, the wiping part can be bent or twisted freely according to the shape of the object to be cleaned, so that it cannot be reached by the conventional swabs such as the back surface of the parts. It is possible to clean the part where

Further, when the wiping portion is bent or twisted, the contact force to the object to be cleaned becomes almost constant due to the elastic recovery of the core body, so that the surface of the object to be cleaned may be scratched or minute parts may be damaged. It will not damage.

[0026]

[Action]

 Since the cleaner of the present invention uses the monofilament for the core of the wiping part, the wiping part is highly flexible and elastic, and can be bent or twisted freely according to the shape of the object to be cleaned. It is possible.

Further, in the present invention, since the wiping part is attached to the handle part so as to exhibit a loop state, in addition to the elastic recovery force of the monofilament itself, the deformation recovery force of the loop acts and any shape is obtained. The contact force of the wiping part can be made almost constant with respect to the part to be cleaned.

That is, in the present invention, when the wiping part comes into contact with the uneven object to be cleaned, the deformation recovery force of the loop is mainly for large deformation, and the monofilament itself is mainly for minute deformation. Deformation recovery force of is applied, and a constant contact force is always applied.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to embodiments.

[Example 1] 6-nylon multi-fiber having a fineness of 0.23 denier, obtained by alkali-splitting the splittable splittable composite fiber on the outer peripheral surface of a 6-nylon monofilament core having a fineness of 3000 denier A filament (total fineness of 75 denier) was coated while being formed into a 16-round round braid.

Next, the obtained linear body was fixed to one end of a polypropylene handle portion having a diameter of 3 mm and a length of 60 mm so as to form an elliptical loop having a peripheral length of 6 mm to obtain a cleaner. .

In the obtained cleaner, the wiping portion was able to bend or twist freely according to the shape of the object to be cleaned, and the back surface of the component could be cleaned.

Further, neither the surface of the object to be cleaned nor the minute parts were damaged.

[Comparative Example 1] The round braided product of 6-nylon multifilament of Example 1 was directly attached to a polypropylene handle to obtain a conventional swab type cleaner.

In the obtained cleaner, the wiping portion could not be bent or twisted, and cleaning of the back surface of the component was impossible.

Further, since the force of the hand is directly transmitted to the object to be cleaned, the surface of the object to be cleaned may be scratched or minute parts may be damaged.
