Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cleaning tool having high foaming performance.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when the body is washed with a detergent such as soap or body shampoo, a towel or sponge made of synthetic fiber such as nylon is washed to improve the foaming of the detergent. Tools are often used. Also,
The sponge, etc., can be used only for whipping.
It is used.

In the above-mentioned cleaning tool, a face-washing whipping net as shown in FIG. 10 has been proposed mainly for the purpose of finely foaming a face wash.
-276928). This face-washing whipping net
A base material 11 made of a tubular integrally-molded plastic net cut into a predetermined length is prepared, and openings at both ends of the base material 11 are gathered together and fixed with a binding tool 12 such as a string, It is manufactured by folding the end portion inward and attaching the finger insertion ring 13 to the other end portion.

By applying a face wash or the like to the face-washing foaming net and gently rubbing it, the face wash or the like can be finely whipped. Also, after putting both hands together to press both ends of the tubular base material 11 inward to form a disk shape, open both hands outside and return to the original shape (elongate cylindrical shape), at this time, Air can be taken in and mixed with a face wash etc., so that bubbles are easily formed.

[0005]

However, the above face-washing whipping net is composed of the tubular base material 11 having the openings at both ends gathered together and fixed by the binding tool 12, so that the tubular base material has a tubular shape. The bubbles are retained only on the material 11 (that is, only on the outer peripheral portion of the face-washing whipping net), and the amount of the retained bubbles is small. Moreover, when the tubular base material 11 is returned from the disk shape to the elongated cylindrical shape, even if an attempt is made to take in air from the surroundings to make bubbles, it is difficult for air to enter the inside of the tubular base material 11 and face wash etc. Not enough foam. further,
When the face-washing whipping net is not used, it cannot be kept in a standing state because it has an elongated cylindrical shape. Also, if you leave it lying down, it will roll easily,
Often does not exist in its original position.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a cleaning tool having an increased amount of foam retention, sufficient foaming, and a good sitting quality.

[0007]

To achieve Means for Solving the Problems The above object, the cleaning implement of the present invention is joined by overlapping edges adjacent to each other at each corner of the mesh material formed in a square shape sheet Thus, a bonded mesh body is formed, the bonded mesh body is turned upside down, and in this state, each corner is raised to be integrated into a substantially square pyramid shape .

Namely, the cleaning implement of the present invention, joined by overlapping edges adjacent to each other at each corner of the square shape sheet form formed mesh material, the bonding net-like body formed by the junction Since it is turned upside down and the corners of the joined mesh body are raised and integrated into a substantially square pyramid shape, the joined portion of the joined mesh body can be arranged in the central portion. As a result, the portion of the joint mesh-like body connected to the joint portion can be arranged inside. Therefore, the cleaning tool of the present invention can hold bubbles not only in the outer part thereof but also in the inner part (that is, the joint part and the part of the joint mesh body connected to the joint part), and the amount of foam retained. Will increase. Moreover, the cleaning tool of the present invention has a pyramid shape because each corner portion of the joined mesh body is raised, and has a pyramidal shape, that is, between the corner portions (that is, the adjacent side surfaces of the pyramid shape). (Between them) a passage reaching the central portion of the joint mesh is formed. Therefore, air easily enters the inside of the joint mesh along this passage, and the face wash and the like are sufficiently foamed. Furthermore, the cleaning tool of the present invention, as described above,
As it has a pyramidal shape, it is comfortable to sit on.

Further, in the present invention, when the above-mentioned joining is carried out by heat fusion or stitching, the sides of the mesh members can be overlapped and easily joined.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the cleaning tool of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a whipping net part,
It is formed in a substantially square pyramid shape (substantially pyramid shape). Reference numeral 2 is a ribbon attached to the top of the whipping net portion 1, a mounting portion 2a attached to the top portion of the whipping net portion 1, and a hanging and gripping ring formed above the mounting portion 2a. And part 2b.

The whipping net portion 1 is produced by using a square sheet net (mesh material) 3 made of polyethylene or urethane 66, as shown in FIG. The foaming net portion 1 as a whole has flexibility, stretchability, and shape retention due to deformation of many meshes formed on itself.

Such a cleaning tool can be manufactured as follows. That is, first, a square sheet-shaped net 3 as shown in FIG. 2 is prepared. Then, at the four corners of the net 3, the adjacent sides 4 to 7 (see the chain line in FIG. 2) are overlapped and then joined by heat fusion or sewing. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, this joining is performed by folding back one corner of the net 3 and overlapping two sides adjacent to this one corner, and then, as shown in FIG. 4, as shown in FIG. The parts are joined to each other at a slightly front position (that is, a position slightly closer to the corner than the central part) (8 in FIG. 4 indicates a joined part). Similarly, the joints 8 are provided at the other three corners (see FIGS. 5 and 6). The joint net body (joint mesh body) 9 thus produced has a gap 9a in the center thereof. Next, the joining net body 9 is provided with a gap 9 so that each of the joining portions 8 is on the inside.
Turn over from a. This turned over state is shown in FIG. Next, the portions other than the joint portions 8 of the joint net body 9 are bent into a substantially square shape (see FIG. 8), and in that state, the tip portions (outermost portion) 8a of the joint portions 8 are raised. They are integrated into one at the center (see FIG. 9) and integrated by heat fusion or sewing. After that, the ribbon 2 (see FIG. 1) is attached to this integrated portion. In this way, a pyramidal cleaning tool as shown in FIG. 1 can be manufactured. In this cleaning tool, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 9, a gap 10 is formed between adjacent side surfaces of a pyramid shape.
Are formed.

According to this embodiment, since the net 3 is present not only on the outer peripheral portion of the cleaning tool but also on the inner side of the cleaning tool, the bubbles can be held inside and the amount of foam retained increases. . Moreover, since the air flows into the inside of the cleaning tool through the gap 10, the cleaning agent inside the cleaning tool also comes into sufficient contact with the air, and the bubbles of the facial cleanser are improved. Furthermore, since this cleaning tool has a pyramidal shape, it is comfortable to sit on.

In the above embodiment, polyethylene or urethane 66 is used as the material for the net 3, but the material is not limited to this and various synthetic fibers or the like may be used. In the above embodiment, the ribbon 2
Although the ring portion 2b is provided in the above, it may not be provided.

[0016]

As described above, according to the cleaning tool of the present invention, bubbles are generated not only in the outer portion but also in the inner portion (that is, the joint portion and the joint mesh body portion connected to the joint portion). It can be retained, increasing the amount of foam retained. Moreover, the cleaning tool of the present invention has a pyramid shape because each corner portion of the joined mesh body is raised, and has a pyramidal shape, that is, between the corner portions (that is, the adjacent side surfaces of the pyramid shape). (Between them) a passage reaching the central portion of the joint mesh is formed. Therefore, air easily enters the inside of the joint mesh along this passage, and the face wash and the like are sufficiently foamed. Furthermore, since the cleaning tool of the present invention has a pyramidal shape as described above, it is comfortable to sit on.

Further, in the present invention, when the above-mentioned joining is performed by heat fusion or stitching, the sides of the mesh members can be overlapped and easily joined.
