FIG. 1 shows a cleaning tool main body 1, and FIG. 2 shows a flat sheet-shaped wiping member 2 used by being attached to the cleaning tool main body. .
[0010]
The cleaning tool main body 1 has a handle 3 for gripping and a column-shaped wiping material mounting portion 4 formed at the tip of the handle 3. As shown in FIG. 3, the wiping material mounting portion 4 is provided with a resilient and flexible material such as a synthetic resin foam, natural rubber, or synthetic rubber around a hard or semi-hard central axis 3a extending from the handle 3. It is formed by attaching a cylindrical member 4a made of a material having the following.
[0011]
As can be seen from FIG. 4, the cleaning tool main body 1 includes a hook rod 6 for hooking the folded wiping material 2 at the position of the fold line 2 b and a wiping material 2 wound around the wiping material mounting portion 4. A fastening member 7 for fastening the free end 2a is provided.
The hook bar 6 is made of a rigid thin wire such as a wire or a synthetic resin filament, and extends along the outer surface of the wiping material mounting portion 4 in the axial direction of the wiping material mounting portion 4. The base end 6 a is fixed to the handle 3. The length of the hook bar 6 is substantially the same as or slightly shorter than the wiping material mounting portion 4.
[0012]
On the other hand, the fastening member 7 is made of a hard or semi-hard material such as a synthetic resin or a metal, and at least a front portion corresponding to the hanging bar 6 has a groove-shaped cross-sectional shape capable of including the hanging bar 6. The base end portion 7a is rotatably supported by a pin 8 so that the base end portion 7a is attached to the handle 3 so as to be freely attached to and detached from the wiping material attaching portion 4 at the position of the hook bar 6. The free end 2a of the wiping member 2 is sandwiched between the hook bar 6 and the wiping member mounting portion 4. In this case, the fastening member 7 is moved to a release position (solid line position in FIG. 1) separated from the wiping material mounting portion 4 and a fastening position (dashed line position in FIG. 1) in contact with the wiping material mounting portion 4, respectively. The locking member 7 may be configured so that it can be locked, but the base member 7a of the locking member 7 is gripped together with the handle 3 without being locked at these positions. May be held in the fixing position.
The fastening member 7 is formed in such a length that its tip is located at the same position as the tip of the hook bar 6 or projects slightly forward from the tip of the hook bar 6.
