Description

The present invention relates to a cleaning tool used mainly for cleaning utensils such as tableware and food containers and various cooking utensils.
More specifically, it is particularly used for scrubbing equipment used when washing and rinsing dirty utensils and cooking utensils with water or detergent in the home kitchen or various kitchens and kitchens. The present invention relates to a structure of a cleaning tool having a glove shape as a whole so that it can be worn on a person's hand.

Conventionally, cleaning tools for utensils and cooking utensils have been used for a long time, such as rags and cloths, but in recent years, many sponges have been used, and moreover, a sponge coated with a mesh-like cloth is also used. . Various ideas have been made for these sponges and mesh-like fabrics, and there are many shapes and materials, and further, sponges formed in a glove shape are also used.
In addition, rubber or synthetic resin gloves are not intended for direct scrubbing of utensils and cooking utensils, and the main purpose is to protect fingers from cold water, hot water, dirt and detergent. It is waterproof.

The above-described sponge or a cleaning tool in which a sponge is coated with a mesh-like cloth has a high detergency and excellent water retention. There was also a problem like this.
That is, since the sponge is a continuous foam having a high flexibility, dirt easily adheres to it, and the dirt penetrates to the inside and remains unsanitary. Furthermore, since it is inferior in wear resistance and easily deforms or breaks, its life is short. A sponge formed in a glove shape is convenient and easy to use because it is easy to wash fine parts such as furniture and can also grasp objects, but the problems of being a sponge are the same. On the other hand, a sponge coated with a mesh-like fabric has a strong detergency and has a long life due to the abrasion resistance of the mesh-like fabric. To do is similar. Further, since the mesh-like fabric is supported by a soft sponge and is pressed and rubbed by a fixture or the like, it is accompanied by a useless movement, which often damages the original function and breaks.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described situation, and provides a cleaning tool that improves durability, is hygienic, and is more convenient and easy to use for a glove-shaped cleaning tool. Is an issue.

In order to solve the above-described problems, the glove-shaped cleaning tool of the present invention has a three-layer structure including an outer layer made of a net-like cloth, an intermediate layer made of a fabric, and an inner layer made of a flexible porous body. It is based on forming the body into a glove-like form.
Furthermore, in addition to forming the overall shape in the form of a mittens glove, the inner layer of the flexible porous body is provided only at the site corresponding to the palm-side fingertip portion of the user. The outer layer net cloth is made of synthetic fiber that is hard, flexible, and has excellent wear resistance, and the middle layer fabric is made of natural fiber that has the flexibility to hold the pressed outer layer in a recessed manner and has excellent drainability. Or it is made of synthetic fiber, and the flexible porous body of the inner layer is made of continuous foamed synthetic resin having excellent elasticity. Still further, in the state where the palm surface and the upper surface are flattened symmetrically and folded, a hanging strap is fixedly provided at a position located in the center of the width of the opening for inserting and removing the user's hand; In addition, the hanging strap shall be made of a resilient material that self-holds a substantially annular shape.

The glove-shaped cleaning tool of the present invention can be made more convenient and easy to use, such as improved durability and superior hygiene by having such a configuration.
That is, the outer layer made of a net-like fabric has extremely high wear resistance, and its surface has an uneven shape and directly rubs the surface of a fixture or the like, so that a high detergency can be obtained. The middle layer of fabric becomes the overall skeletal center and supports the outer and inner layers and provides strong protection for the fingers. The inner layer made of the flexible porous body is rich in water retention and enhances the cleaning effect, and greatly buffers the external force applied to the outer layer and the middle layer.
Furthermore, when the whole is made into a mittens shape, it is convenient and easy to use, for example, it is easy to wash fine parts and to grasp a necessary and sufficient object, and the manufacturing cost can be kept low.
When an inner layer of a flexible porous body is provided only at the part corresponding to the user's palm-side fingertip, the overall thickness is reduced and the flexibility is increased, making it more comfortable for the hand and improving the efficiency of finger movement. can do. Moreover, the fingertip part which is most abused can be reinforced flexibly.
When the outer layer net cloth is made of a synthetic fiber that is hard, flexible, and excellent in wear resistance, the detergency and durability can be remarkably improved. When the fabric of the middle layer is made of natural fiber or synthetic fiber that has the flexibility to hold the pressed outer layer indented and has excellent drainability, the wasteful movement of the outer layer is more strongly suppressed and the original The function can be exhibited and the breakage can be prevented, the fingers can be protected more strongly, and the water that has penetrated inside can be easily removed to the outside. When the flexible porous body of the inner layer is made of a continuous foam synthetic resin excellent in elasticity, the water retention is further increased and the external force applied to the outer layer and the middle layer can be more strongly buffered.
In the state where the palm surface and the upper surface are flattened symmetrically and folded, if a hanging strap is secured to the part located in the center of the width of the opening for inserting and removing the user's hand, wash it. In addition to not disturbing the work, the tip of the glove-shaped cleaning tool is at the bottom when hung with this hanging strap to minimize the horizontal width and can be dried and stored without interruption it can.
When a hanging strap made of a resilient material that self-holds a substantially annular shape is provided in the opening for inserting and removing the user's hand, the reliability increases when the hanging strap is hooked on something. Convenience can be improved.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the common part in each figure, and the overlapping description is abbreviate | omitted.
1 (a), (b) and (c) show an embodiment of the present invention, (a) is a plan view showing a palm surface of a glove-shaped cleaning tool 1, and (b) is a plan view showing an upper surface. (C) is an expanded sectional view of the AA arrow shown to (a).

  As shown in FIG. 1 (c), the glove-shaped cleaning tool 1 is a laminated body having a three-layer structure of an outer layer 2 made of a net-like cloth, an intermediate layer 3 made of a cloth, and an inner layer 4 made of a flexible porous body. Is formed in the shape of a mittens glove. The glove-like shape can be, for example, five fingers, but the thumb and the other four fingers are separated in consideration of cleaning efficiency, manufacturing cost advantage, and ease of inserting and removing fingers. A mittens shape is more preferable.

The material of the net-like fabric of the outer layer 2 can be appropriately selected from various natural fibers or synthetic fibers depending on the object to be cleaned. The outer layer 2 directly rubs the surface of furniture, cooking utensils, etc. to scrape off dirt. Therefore, it is desirable to use a synthetic fiber that is particularly hard, flexible, and excellent in wear resistance.
In addition, there are various mesh sizes, fiber and yarn thicknesses, mesh shapes, knitting methods, and the like, which can be appropriately set according to the object to be washed. It is also preferable to be able to be used in common for the type of dirt and the situation of dirt adhesion.

The material of the fabric of the middle layer 3 can be appropriately selected from various natural fibers or synthetic fibers. The middle layer 3 serves as the overall skeletal center and supports the outer layer 2 and the inner layer 4 and protects the fingers. It is preferable to use natural fibers or synthetic fibers that are flexible and have excellent drainage properties. Further, the middle layer 3 is also for directly scrubbing and cleaning the surface of a fixture or the like through the mesh of the outer layer 2 and desirably has appropriate strength and durability.
Here, explaining that the middle layer 3 supports the outer layer 2, the middle layer 3 receives the outer layer 3 pressed against the surface of a fixture or the like while the middle layer 3 receives a moderate depression, and the increased mutual frictional force causes the outer layer 2 and the middle layer to be supported. 3 to suppress relative movement. For this reason, it is desirable that the middle layer 3 has a degree of flexibility suitable for this.
Further, when the middle layer 3 supports the inner layer 4, the inner layer 4 is a flexible porous body and deforms when pressed, but the frictional force between the middle layer 3 and the inner layer 4 is mutually. Or it is set as the structure which mutually joined and was fixed, and suppressing the relative movement of the inner layer 4 and the middle layer 3. FIG. For this reason, it is preferable that the middle layer 3 is a fabric having an appropriate strength, which is also preferable for protecting the fingers.
Further, the middle layer 3 allows water and detergent to be contained in the inner layer 4 to pass during the cleaning operation, and allows water and detergent to be discharged from the inner layer 4 to pass when the glove-shaped cleaning tool 1 is dried. For this reason, it is desirable that the middle layer 3 has excellent drainability.

The material of the flexible porous body of the inner layer 4 can be appropriately selected from various natural materials or synthetic materials, but this inner layer 4 contains water and detergent during the cleaning operation and has a cushioning property. For example, a kind of sponge or sponge. In consideration of water retention, cushioning properties, durability, and the like, it is particularly preferable to use a continuously foamed synthetic resin excellent in elasticity.
Here, the physical properties or traits that the inner layer 4 should have will be further described. It is rich in water retention, flexibility and cushioning properties, and also has excellent durability and drainage properties, and these must be satisfied consistently. There is. For this reason, it is particularly preferable to use a continuously foamed synthetic resin having excellent elasticity. For example, sponge, which is a flexible porous body made of synthetic resin with excellent elasticity, is relatively hard and slightly inferior in flexibility. Therefore, flexibility can be improved and it becomes more preferable.

The outer layer 2, the middle layer 3, and the inner layer 4 are each in the form of a single bag as shown in FIG. 1, but, for example, in a state where the palm surface and the upper surface are separately configured and overlapped in plane symmetry, It is also preferable to sew the edges other than the opening 6 to join and fix them together, because the strength is improved.
Further, as described above, it is more preferable that the middle layer 3 and the inner layer 4 are bonded and fixed to each other by bonding or the like in order to suppress relative movement.
It is preferable that the outer layer 2 and the middle layer 3 are not only edge portions but also, for example, all or part of them are stitched together to be bonded and fixed so that the cleaning power and durability can be improved.

1 (a) and 1 (b), 5 is a hanging strap, and in the state where the palm surface and the upper surface are flattened symmetrically and folded, the center of the width of the opening 6 for inserting and removing the user's hand is shown. It is fixed to the site located in the area. By configuring in this way, in addition to not disturbing the cleaning operation, when the glove-shaped cleaning tool 1 is suspended with this hanging strap, the lateral width occupied in the horizontal direction is minimized with its tip portion being the lowest portion. And can be dried and stored without disturbing the kitchen or various kitchens or kitchens.
The hanging strap 5 can be appropriately made of various materials, shapes, and dimensions. In particular, when the hanging strap 5 is made of a resilient material that self-holds a substantially annular shape, the hanging strap 5 always has a substantially annular shape. When the string is in an open state and the hanging string 5 is hooked on something, the certainty is increased and the convenience can be enhanced.

  2 (a), 2 (b), and 2 (c) show another embodiment of the present invention, (a) is a plan view showing the upper surface of the glove-shaped cleaning tool 7, and (b) is shown in (a). The expanded sectional view of the BB arrow shown, (c) is the expanded sectional view of the CC arrow shown in (a).

The glove-shaped cleaning tool 7 is a mittens-like glove-shaped laminate formed of a three-layer structure of an outer layer 2 made of a net-like cloth, an intermediate layer 3 made of a cloth, and an inner layer 4 made of a flexible porous body. This is basically the same as the previous embodiment, but as shown in FIGS. 2 (b) and 2 (c), the flexible porous body is provided only at the portion corresponding to the palm fingertip portion of the user. The inner layer 4 is provided.
By adopting such a configuration, the overall thickness is reduced and the flexibility is increased, and the movement of the fingers can be made more efficient by being familiar with the hand. In addition, it is possible to flexibly reinforce the part of the fingertip that is most abused.

  The outer layer 2, the middle layer 3, the inner layer 4 and the hanging string 5 are basically the same in material, physical properties or traits as in the previous embodiment, but the portion provided with the inner layer 4 can be appropriately set. For example, it is possible to use only the thumb part or only the other four finger parts, and it is also preferable to set according to the object to be cleaned.

  In addition, the overall size of the glove-shaped cleaning tool of the present invention can be set as appropriate, for example, relatively large for adults, relatively small for children, etc. It is also preferable to do. It is also possible to use right-handed or left-handed.
