It is a whole block diagram of the wind instrument cleaning tool of the prior art.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 shows an overall schematic diagram of a wind instrument cleaning tool in a state in which a so-called cleaning bar 100, which is a rod-shaped support bar made of cylindrical wood and resin material, is inserted into the cleaning cloth 10 of the present invention. 2 is an external view from the direction of arrow A in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is an external view from the direction of arrow B in FIG.

  The cleaning cloth 10 is made of a stretchable and hygroscopic cloth material, has a predetermined length in the longitudinal direction of the cleaning rod 100, and an insertion slot into which the cleaning rod 100 can be inserted at one end 10 g thereof. 10f is provided, and the other end 10h is suture-sealed by a stitching portion 10e so that the cleaning rod 100 does not protrude from the other end 10h.

  The cleaning cloth 10 is formed by sewing a rectangular cloth one after another at necessary places. The procedure will be described.

  First, the long side end 10a which is one end on the long side of the cloth and the long side end 10c on the other end side are folded in two so as to be on the same line, and at a predetermined distance from both the long side ends 10a and 10b. In addition, the stitched portions 10j are formed by stitching the overlapped fabrics linearly in a direction parallel to the long side edges 10a and 10b.

  Next, a part of the folded fabric is folded in a mountain shape in a direction parallel to the long side edges 10a and 10b to form the mountain portion 10b, and at a position away from the mountain portion 10b by a predetermined distance, A stitched portion 10d is formed in parallel with the stitched portion 10j. Similarly, the fabric is folded as shown in FIG. 2 by forming the stitched portion 10d while sewing the fabric so as to form two more ridges 10b and stitching a total of four locations. Are formed at three locations, and an insertion portion 10k for inserting the cleaning rod 100 can be formed at the center.

  The position of the stitching portion 10d is set so that the diameter of the insertion portion 10k formed by the stitching portions 10d and 10j is slightly smaller than the diameter of the cleaning rod 100. Accordingly, when the cleaning rod 100 is inserted into the insertion portion 10k, a certain holding force is generated using the stretchability of the cloth. The respective distances from the stitched portion 10d to the crest portion 10b are set to substantially the same distance so that the crest portion 10b can appropriately come into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the wind instrument.

  In this way, the insertion portion 10k into which the cleaning rod 100 is inserted is formed in the center portion. In this state, both the one end 10g and the other end 10h of the short side end of the main cloth are both cleaning rods. The insertion slot into which 100 is inserted is open. Therefore, the opening on the other end 10h side of the short side end is stitched and sealed by a stitching portion 10e as shown in FIG. Thereby, the cleaning rod 100 to be inserted can be prevented from protruding from the other end 10h of the short side end through the insertion port 10f on the one end 10g side of the other short side end.

  As a result of stitching the cleaning cloth 10 in this way, an insertion port 10f into which the cleaning rod 100 is inserted is formed at one end in the longitudinal direction, that is, one end 10g side of the short side end, as shown in FIG. A crest portion 10b is formed as a plurality of contact portions that contact the inner peripheral surface of the pipe in a direction parallel to the insertion portion into which the rod is inserted to clean the inner peripheral surface. Further, the end opposite to the side where the cleaning rod 100 is inserted, that is, the other end 10h side of the short side end is formed with an end perpendicular to the peak portion 10b serving as a contact portion, thereby forming a cleaning end described later. be able to.

  A method of cleaning the inside of the wind instrument using the cleaning cloth 10 stitched as described above will be described in detail below.

  The cleaning rod 100 is inserted into the cleaning cloth 10 through the insertion port 10f provided on the short-side end 10g side so that the tip of the cleaning rod 100 reaches the stitching portion 10e at the other end 10h of the short-side end. Since the opening of the other end 10h of the short side end is closed by the stitching portion 10e, the tip of the cleaning rod 100 reaches the stitching portion 10e and is firmly fixed without protruding from the other end 10h. The cleaning cloth 10 is inserted and fixed so as to wrap around the cleaning rod 100, leaving the holding portion 100 b of the cleaning rod 100.

  In this state, the holding portion 100b of the cleaning rod 100 is held by hand, the cleaning cloth 10 and the cleaning rod 100 are inserted into the tube of the wind instrument from the other end 10h side of the short side, and the inner peripheral surface in the tube, etc. Absorb and clean the water adhering to the surface.

  Next, a description will be given of a method of cleaning the inside of a musical instrument tube in which one end of the tube is closed like a flute head tube with the present cleaning tool. FIG. 4 shows a state in which the cleaning cloth 10 attached to the cleaning rod 100 is inserted into the flute head tube 50.

  The head tube 50 is provided with a singing mouth 52 for a player to breathe into a cylindrical tube 51 made of a metal such as white, silver, and gold. To generate sound. One end of the tube 51 is opened and an opening 51a is provided. A flute is formed by sequentially connecting portions called a main tube and a foot tube on this side.

  When cleaning the inside of the head tube 50, the cleaning cloth 10 is inserted together with the cleaning rod 100 from the opening 51a. The crest portion 10 b serving as a contact portion that comes into contact with the inside of the head tube 50 of the cleaning cloth 10 contacts the cylindrical inner peripheral surface 51 b of the head pipe 50 and rotates the cleaning cloth 10 about the axis of the cleaning rod 100 or Moisture adhering to the inner peripheral surface 51b is absorbed by moving in the axial direction. Since the crest portion 10b of the cleaning cloth 10 is formed by bending the cleaning cloth 10, it contacts the inner peripheral surface 51b with a constant contact width by a curved curved surface, so that moisture can be appropriately absorbed. .

  On the other hand, a head joint 53 is provided inside the tubular body 51 of the head tube 50 further on the head side than the singing mouth 52, and the flow of breath blown from the singing mouth 52 by this head joint 53 is provided. Arrange and generate sound. The reflecting member 54 of the head joint 53 is formed of a cylindrical flat plate and is arranged in a direction perpendicular to the tube body 51.

  Since the other end 10h of the short side end of the cleaning cloth 10 inserted into the tube 51 is provided in a direction substantially perpendicular to the peak portion b, the other end 10h can be in contact with the surface of the reflecting member 54 in parallel. It becomes possible to reliably absorb moisture adhering to the surface of 54. In particular, the corner portion 10i constituting the cleaning end where the other end 10h of the short side and the peak portion 10b intersect with each other ensures that the corner portion serving as the connection portion between the reflecting member 54 and the inner peripheral surface 51b of the tubular body 51 is also reliably formed. The cleaning cloth 10 can be brought into contact, and moisture can be absorbed by the cleaning cloth 10 to every corner of the reflection member 54.

  Conventionally, when a gauze or the like is wound around a cleaning rod, the tip portion thereof is round and soft, so that the moisture around the reflecting member 54 cannot be sufficiently absorbed, and the subsequent feeling of blowing and the quality of the tube are reduced. Although it had an influence, it becomes possible to absorb moisture in the pipe easily and reliably by using the main instrument cleaning tool.

  Although the flute head tube 50 has been described as a tube to be cleaned by the cleaning cloth 10, in the case where one end inside the tube is not completely closed like the head tube 50, for example, there is a step in the tube, Even if this cleaning tool is used to clean the stepped portion, the same effects as those described in the present embodiment can be obtained.

  In addition, although the cleaning cloth 10 was set as the structure which provided the curved peak part 10b in three places, it will show the same effect not only in this but in one place, two places, or four places or more. In addition, the cleaning rod 100 inserted into the cleaning cloth 10 may be any rod-shaped member having a predetermined hardness, but an insertion hole 100a is provided at the tip as in FIG. Therefore, it is possible to remove the cleaning cloth 10 from the cleaning stick 100 and insert one end of a gauze or the like instead, and use it as a conventional cleaning stick. It is also possible to freely replace the cleaning cloth 10 depending on the application. It is.

The cleaning cloth 20 is composed of two rectangular cloths 21 and 22, and in a state where the two cloths 21 and 22 are stacked, the cleaning cloth 20 is linear in parallel with the long side edge 21 b in the longitudinal direction of the cloths 21 and 22. The fabrics 21 and 22 are stitched at two locations to form a stitched portion 20d.

  As a result, the insertion portion and the insertion port 20f into which the cleaning rod is inserted are formed at the same center as in the first embodiment. The long side ends 21b, 21c, 22b, and 22c of the cloths 21 and 22 constitute a contact portion that comes into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the pipe, and absorb the moisture in the pipe at the tip. Unlike the curved surface of Embodiment 1, the shape of the contact portion is substantially the same as that of Embodiment 1 except that the contact portion is configured by the end portion of the cloth, and the short side end of the cleaning cloth 20 is the long side end. Since it is formed so as to be substantially perpendicular to 21b and 21c, it is possible to efficiently clean the vicinity of the closed end in the flute head tube 50 as in the first embodiment.

(Embodiment 3)
6 is a view showing still another embodiment, and is an external view as viewed from the direction of arrow A in FIG. 1 in the first embodiment, that is, an external view corresponding to FIG. 2 of the first embodiment. The cleaning cloth 30 is composed of four rectangular cloths 31, 32, 33 and 34. Four stitched portions 30d are formed in the center so that the insertion port 30f of the cleaning rod is provided, and the long side ends 31b, 31c, 32b, 32c, 33b, 33c in the longitudinal direction of the cloths 31, 32, 33, 34 are formed. , 34b, 34c constitute a contact portion for cleaning the inner peripheral surface of the pipe. Other configurations are the same as those in the first and second embodiments.

  As described above, in the first embodiment, the cleaning cloth 10 is composed of a single cloth. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a similar effect can be obtained by stitching a plurality of cloths as in the second and third embodiments. The cleaning cloths 20 and 30 can be configured.

  The present invention is used for flutes or other wind instruments, and in the past, the inside of the tube has a particularly closed end, compared to the case where the inside of the tube has been cleaned simply by wrapping a cloth such as gauze around a cleaning rod. Moisture can be sufficiently absorbed, and can be used to further improve the durability and wind feeling of wind instruments.
