Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a cleaning tool suitable for removing lint and other debris from carpets, particularly cat and dog hair.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 It is difficult to remove cats and dogs from carpets. An ordinary vacuum cleaner that uses suction power is difficult to absorb. In addition, with cleaning tools that consist of roll-shaped adhesive tape and expose the sticky surface, the hair entangled with the fibers of the carpet is removed directly by adsorbing the hair with the adhesive, but the roll is rolled once. By the way, if the part where the hair etc. had already adhered coincided with the part where the hair had to be removed, it was not possible to adsorb, so it was necessary to roll the same place many times. In addition, since the adhesive is used, the number of times it can be used is small, and the adhesive surface must be renewed many times to clean one room. The adhesive tape that you peeled off is not what you normally want to get out of, but it itself becomes garbage.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to provide a cleaning tool that can remove hair and the like more reliably than using a vacuum cleaner and that does not generate extra dust.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 A means for this purpose is a cleaning tool for wiping dust on the cleaning surface by pressing against and rubbing against the cleaning surface, wherein the sliding contact portion formed of a carpet and in contact with the cleaning surface is formed of a soft foamed resin. It is a cleaning tool.

[0005] Since the sliding contact portion is formed of a soft foamed resin, the porous and elastic portion of the carpet rubs against the carpet. For this reason, the hair entangled with the carpet can be directly captured by the numerous holes. In addition, it is deformed and comes into close contact, so it is easy to catch. In addition, since static electricity is generated by rubbing, hair can be absorbed by this electrostatic force.

It is desirable that the soft foamed resin be easily depressed when pressed at a point, but hardly depressed when pressed at a surface. In other words, if the foam resin has many very fine spaces, is dense, stiff, and hard to dent when pressed with a fingertip, it will actively scratch the carpet fibers and generate static electricity. It can effectively absorb hair and hair. The above point is a relatively small area corresponding to a pile of carpet piles, and the plane is a larger area.

Further, when the sliding contact portion is formed in a plate shape and has a concave portion in at least an intermediate portion on one side, when the sliding contact portion is rubbed and moved, it is moved so as to collect dust in the concave portion. And it is easy to put together in one place of small area. Also, the presence of the recess makes it easy to hold even when holding it directly.

Further, if a hard holding portion for holding the sliding contact portion is formed on the upper side of the sliding contact portion, the sliding contact portion can be stably held, and the rubbing operation can be performed stably and strongly. Good.

When a handle is attached to the holding portion, cleaning work can be performed easily without bending.

[Embodiment of the invention]

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a cleaning tool 1. The cleaning tool 1 integrates a plate-shaped sliding contact portion 3 made of a soft foamed resin with a lower surface of a hard plate-shaped holding portion 2 by bonding. It is formed. The holding portion 2 and the sliding contact portion 3 have the same shape, and have a shape in which both side surfaces of an oval intermediate portion are concavely formed in an arc shape to form concave portions 4 and 4.

The sliding contact portion 3 is formed of an appropriate material such as, for example, soft foamed polyurethane, and its properties are preferably set so that it is easily depressed when pressed at a point, but hard to be depressed when pressed at a surface. More specifically, it has a large number of very fine spaces, is dense and stiff, and is hard enough to be dented when pressed with a fingertip having an area larger than that of a carpet pile.

The cleaning tool 1 configured as described above is used by pressing against a carpet 5 furnished with cat or dog hair and rubbing it so as to collect dust such as hair.

FIG. 2 is an explanatory view of a use state of the carpet 5 having the loop pile 5a. As the cleaning surface moves while sweeping down the loop pile 5a, the sliding contact portion 3 becomes a corner at the lower end thereof. In 3a, dust such as hair is removed from the loop pile 5a and transferred while being elastically displaced with flexibility, and is caught by a large number of holes. The lower surface 3b of the sliding contact portion 3 captures hair and the like while waving in correspondence with the unevenness of the pressed loop pile 5a, generates static electricity, and attracts dust by this force.

The transferred dust is collected at an appropriate place on the carpet 5 and then removed, and the dust adsorbed on the sliding portion 3 is also removed. Since the sliding portion 3 has a structure having a very small space, it is easy to cleanly separate the trapped dust, and the dust adsorbed by the static electricity can be easily separated by removing the static electricity.

When the cleaning is performed with the concave portion 4 directed toward the front in the moving direction, the collected dust is accommodated in the curved concave portion 4, so that it is easy to collect the dust at one place with a small area. Therefore, it is easy and quick to remove collected hair and other debris, and the workability is good.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory view of the state of action on the carpet 5 having the cut pile 5b. As the cut pile 5b moves while slicing down, the sliding contact portion 3 moves in the same manner as described above. At the corner 3a at the lower end, dust such as hair is removed from the cut pile 5b and transferred while being elastically displaced, and is caught by a large number of holes. In addition, the lower surface 3b of the sliding contact portion 3 flexibly responds to the unevenness of the cut pile 5b pressed down, captures hairs and the like while waving smaller than in the case of the loop pile 5a, and generates static electricity. Also adsorbs garbage.

FIG. 4 is an explanatory view of a use state for a carpet 5 without a pile, in which a corner 3a at the lower end of the sliding contact portion 3 is elastically displaced to scrape off dust on the surface and transport it. Catch in the hole. Similarly, the lower surface 3b of the sliding contact portion 3 catches dust with holes. At the same time, static electricity is generated between the carpet 5 and the surface of the carpet 5, and the dust absorbs the dust by this force.

As described above, dust can be effectively collected by a synergistic effect of the two kinds of operations, and the reliability is higher than when a vacuum cleaner is used. In addition, unlike the case of using an adhesive tape, it has the advantage that it can be used many times and does not generate extra dust. FIG. 5 shows another example, in which the holding part 2 and the sliding contact part 3 are detachable. At the same time, a handle 6 is attached to the holding portion 2. That is, the holding portion 2 is formed in a horizontal U-shape, and at the lower end, ridges 2a, 2a projecting inward are formed, and concave grooves 3c fitted with the ridges 2a are formed on both sides of the sliding contact portion 3. Formed on the surface. The attachment and detachment are performed by sliding relative to each other in the length direction of the ridge 2a and the concave groove 3c. The handle 6 has its base formed so that it can be turned three-dimensionally.

When the holding portion 2 and the sliding portion 3 are made detachable, the sliding portion 3 can be replaced with one having the most suitable property according to the type of the carpet 5, thereby increasing the effect. If the handle 6 is attached, cleaning work can be performed easily without bending down or kneeling.

[Effect of the invention]

 As described above, according to the present invention, the cleaning surface formed by the carpet can be cleaned by pressing the sliding contact portion made of a soft foam resin so as to collect the cleaning surface. The elastic, porous sliding contact portion directly catches debris such as hair entangled on the cleaning surface, generates static electricity with the cleaning surface, and indirectly adsorbs. For this reason, cleaning can be performed efficiently and is more reliable than when a vacuum cleaner is used. In addition, since there is no remarkable deterioration of the cleaning ability as compared with the case where the adhesive tape is used, there is no need to renew the adhesive surface, the operation is simple, and there is an advantage that extra dust is not generated.
