In addition, if you keep your hands wet to drain the water and continue to clean in this state, the hands with the handle may slip, or your dry hands may get wet. In addition, if the amount of water removed from the mop is insufficient, the water may drip from the mop and the floor may become damp, resulting in inconvenience. It had a great impact on the cleaning efficiency.

For this reason, a pair of rollers are provided in opposition to a container for storing water, the mop portion of the mop device is arranged between the rollers, and the lever is stepped on by the foot to depress the mop portion. There is a mop drainer container on the market that allows you to drain the water absorbed in the mop part by sandwiching it with and gradually lifting the mop device. By using this water draining container for mops, it is possible to drain the water absorbed by the mop portion without getting the hands wet.

However, it is difficult to adjust the degree of drainage of the mop portion with the above-mentioned water draining container for mops. For example, if the mop portion is set to be strongly clamped by rollers so that draining can be sufficiently performed, the operation of lifting the mop device can be The load will increase. Naturally, if this load is set to a small value, the amount of water removed from the mop will be insufficient.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and it is possible to easily adjust the amount of drainage of the mop portion of the mop device to a user's preferred state, and to perform efficient wiping, which is excellent in workability. The purpose is to provide a mop device.

As a result, the cloth member 7b is clamped by the connecting portion 62 of the mop fixing member 6 and the cloth covering portion 53 of the tip cap 5, and the mop portion 7 is integrally attached to the tip portion of the handle 2. The assembly of the mop device 1 as shown in FIG. 7 is completed.

It should be noted that, as shown in the figure, since the universal grip portion 3 is movable back and forth in the axial direction of the handle 2, the universal grip portion 3 is attached to the handle 2 as shown in FIG. When the cloth member 7b of the mop part 7 is pulled by moving to the fixed gripping member 2a side, it is in the original folded state, and as shown in FIG. By moving the cloth member 7b of the mop portion 7 gradually, the tension of the cloth member 7b is gradually loosened so that the cloth member 7b spreads in the outer peripheral direction. At this time, the flexible gripping portion 3 is provided with a fixing means for fixing the flexible gripping portion 3 to the handle 2, so that the tension (spread state) of the cloth member 7b can be maintained in a desired state.

Then, as the universal gripping portion 3 rotates, the hooking protrusion 32a of the universal gripping portion 3 is caught by the cloth member 7b of the mop portion 7, and the cloth member 7b is gradually twisted. When the cloth member 7b is twisted, the water absorbed by the cloth member 7b is squeezed out, and when the user determines that the desired draining state is achieved, the rotating operation of the free gripping portion 3 is stopped. As a result, the cloth member 7b is in a desired draining state.

Here, as shown in FIG. 7B, the free gripping portion 3 is moved to the tip cap 5 side, the cloth member 7b of the mop portion 7 is spread into a desired shape, and a water wiping operation is performed. .

When the cloth member 7b becomes dirty, the mop portion 7 is again soaked in water to wash off the dirt, and the cloth member 7b of the mop portion 7 is drained as described above, and the water wiping operation is subsequently performed.

When the cloth member 7b of the mop portion 7 is completely soiled, the mop portion 7 is removed from the handle 2 in the reverse order of the assembling procedure of the mop device 1 described above, and the new mop portion is removed. You can replace it with 7 for wiping with water.

In this way, one end of the cloth member forming the mop portion is fixed to the tip of the handle, while the other end of the cloth member is movable in the axial direction of the handle and orthogonal to the axial direction. Since it is attached to a freely rotatable gripping part, the mop part is immersed in water, then the free gripping part is moved to the gripping member side fixed to the handle, and the free gripping part is rotated in this state. By doing so, the cloth member of the mop portion can be twisted to squeeze the water absorbed by the cloth member. As a result, the cloth member of the mop portion can be drained without getting the user's hand wet.

Further, by appropriately adjusting the force for rotating the universal grip portion, it is possible to easily adjust the drainage of the cloth member to a user's favorite state. As a result, when the water absorbed by the cloth member of the mop portion is squeezed out, the draining state of the cloth member can be adjusted to a desired state only by adjusting the user's own control.

Further, a cloth stopper provided at an end of the cloth member of the mop portion is connected to the mop fixing member, and the mop fixing member connected to the cloth stopper is detachably attached to the tip of the handle. Since it is configured to be removable from the cap, the mop can be easily replaced.

In the above embodiment, an example of the assembly procedure of the mop device is shown, but the assembly procedure is not limited to the order described above, and if the assembly is possible, the assembly order is May be replaced freely.

Further, as shown in FIG. 10, instead of the knob portion 63 provided on the mop fixing member 6, a cutout portion 62b is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the connecting portion 62, and the cutout portion 62b is used as a knob portion. By doing so, the mop fixing member 60 that can be inserted into the handle 2 is formed. As a result, the cloth stoppers 7a provided at both ends of the mop portion 7 are fitted into the groove portions 62a of the mop fixing member 60, respectively, while the mop connection portions located on the front side of the free gripping portion 3 shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 11, the second mop connection portion 35 is formed in the same manner as the tip cap 5 as shown in FIG. 11, so that the cloth cap 7 b of the mop portion 7 is connected to the tip cap 5 and the free gripping portion 3. Since it can be securely attached by screwing, the reliability of the connection between the mop portion 7 and the free gripping portion 3 is significantly improved.
