Description
【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、床、じゅうたん、畳、家具の表面その他を清掃するための掃除具の改良に関する。特に、清掃端に繊維布を被せて使用し、その繊維布を交換することができる掃除具に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
本願出願人は、把手と、この把手に連接された保持板と、この保持板に付設された弾性体とを備え、この弾性体に薄手の繊維布を着脱自在に被せる掃除具を製造販売しきわめて好評を得ている。その基本的な構造は、実開平２−１１９１５２号公報に開示されている。
【０００３】
従来構造は、前記弾性体はその表面がほぼ平坦であり、その平坦な表面に使い捨て可能な繊維布を被せる構造になっている。
【０００４】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
清掃の対象物がプラスチック床のように平坦な場合には、上記構造の清掃具により均一な清掃ができるが、清掃面に凹凸がある場合に上記構造のものでは、必ずしも繊維布の動きにより凹凸の谷の部分の塵を収集できない場合がある。凹凸がある表面でも、その凹凸の谷の部分まで均一に清掃することができるように、本願発明者はさまざまな改良を試み多数の試験を行った。
【０００５】
本発明は、清掃対象がじゅうたんなどのように表面が平坦でない場合にも有効に清掃することができる清掃具を提供することを目的とする。本発明は、プラスチック床面のように平坦な表面に対しても、力を加えることなく有効な清掃を行うことができる清掃具を提供することを目的とする。
【０００６】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、薄手の繊維布を被せ、把手を操作することによって床面の収塵を行う掃除具の弾性体表面に多数の突起を形成し、床面に凹凸があってもその谷の部分の塵を収集できるようにすることを特徴とする。
【０００７】
すなわち、本発明は、把手と、この把手に連接された保持板と、この保持板に付設された弾性体とを備え、この弾性体に繊維布を着脱自在に被せる掃除具において、前記弾性体の表面に多数の凸部を形成したことを特徴とする。
【０００８】
清掃対象が畳やじゅうたんのように表面が平坦でない場合に、弾性体の表面に形成された多数の凸部がその谷の部分まで繊維布を押し出し塵を収集する。清掃対象面が平坦な場合には凹部上にある繊維布は押し込まれないためにほぼその全面が床面に接触し塵を均一に収集する。
【０００９】
弾性体は長方形の板状に形成し、その表面（床に接する面）に高さ０．５〜１０ｍｍの突起を設けることによって凹凸を形成する。突起の配列は長方形に対して斜めに整列配置することがよい。通常、把手による保持板の清掃操作は前後方向あるいは左右方向に行われるので、突起が斜めに整列配置されていれば、操作方向全体にわたって突起が通過し、隙間なく繊維布を清掃面に接触させることができる。
【００１０】
突起は弾性体と同一の材質もしくは弾性体より硬質の材料を用いることができるが、じゅうたんやカーペットのように表面が柔らかい床面の場合には弾性体を突起より軟質にした方が対応しやすく清掃面に繊維布を効果的に接触させることができる。また、突起は半球の上にさらにそれより径の小さい半球を重ねた２段構造にしておけば柔らかい床面の場合に、細部に繊維布が押し出されるので、じゅうたんなどの場合に表面だけでなくその内部も有効に清掃することができる。
弾性体の表面を湾曲した形状に形成すれば、清掃対象がじゅうたんのように深さを有する場合に突起が内部に入りやすくなり、谷底に入り込んだ塵を有効に収集することができる。
【００１１】
【発明の実施の形態】
【００１２】
【実施例】
次に、本発明実施例を図面に基づいて説明する。図１は本発明実施例の要部の構成を示す斜視図、図２は本発明実施例の図１に示すＡ−Ａ部分断面図、図３は本発明実施例における突起の配列を説明する図、図４（ａ）は本発明実施例の外観形状を示す斜視図、（ｂ）は繊維布が取りつけられた使用状態を示す斜視図である。
【００１３】
本発明実施例は、把手１と、この把手１に連接された保持板２と、この保持板２に付設された弾性体３とが備えられ繊維布４が着脱自在に被せられる弾性体３の表面に多数の凹凸が形成される。
【００１４】
弾性体３は長方形の板状であり、その表面に突起５を形成することにより前記凹凸が形成される。突起５の高さは０．５〜１０ｍｍであり長方形に対して斜めに整列配置される。また、突起５は弾性体３と同一の材質であるか、あるいは弾性体３より硬質な弾性材料により形成され、半球の上にさらにそれより径の小さい半球が重ねられた２段構造に構成される。
【００１５】
本実施例では、図２に示すように、突起５の大きい半球の直径Ｄ１ は６ｍｍ程度、その上に重ねられる小さい半球の直径Ｄ２ は４ｍｍ程度、その高さＨは６ｍｍ程度に形成される。その配列は図１に示すように長方形の弾性体３に対し１９個および２０個が交互に７列にわたり図３にその一部を示すように斜めに整列配置される。
【００１６】
把手１と保持板２とは図４に示すように自在継手６により回動自在に連結され、清掃を行うときには同図（ｂ）に示すように、繊維布４が保持板２の突起５側の面を包むようにしてその両端部が４ケ所の係止部２ａに押し込まれ係止される。係止部２ａは弾性体３には鋸歯状の歯形が噛み合うように形成されているので、押し込まれた繊維布４はその噛み合いによって固定される。繊維布４の取外しはその噛合部の近傍を引き出すことによって係止部から外れ容易に保持板２から分離される。
【００１７】
図４（ｂ）に示すように繊維布４が被せられた状態で清掃が行われるが、床面が平坦なときには繊維布４には係止時に張力が与えられているので、突起５による凹凸の影響を受けることなくほぼその全面が床面に接触し塵を収集する。じゅうたんあるいはカーペットのように表面が柔らかくかつ不規則に変化する面の場合には、その凹凸の谷の部分に突起５により繊維布４が部分的に押し出され内部の塵を収集する。突起５は小さい半球と大きい半球の２段構造になっているので、小さい半球の部分は深くかつ狭い部分に繊維布４を押し出し、大きい半球の部分はその中間部分に繊維布４を接触させ、突起５相互の空間部分は繊維布４をその表面部分に接触させる。
【００１８】
把手１による清掃操作は保持板２を前後または左右に移動することによって行われる。突起５の配列は斜め方向に整列状態で配置されているので、保持板２が前後または左右方向に移動したときに、床面は突起５とその谷間とによる繊維布４の接触を交互に受ける。そのために床の表面が柔軟であってもその変化に対応して、深い部分および浅い部分が繊維布４によりまんべんなく拭き取られ、塵の収集が効果的に行われる。
【００１９】
清掃対象面が柔らかくかつ不規則な変化がある場合には、弾性体３を軟質な材料で形成し、突起５をそれより硬質な材料で形成しておくことによって、床面が変化したときに弾性体３がその変化に応じて変形するので、さらに収塵効果を高めることができる。また、弾性体の表面を湾曲した形状に形成することができ、湾曲をもたせることによってじゅうたんのように深さを有する清掃対象面の場合に突起が内部に入りやすくなり、谷の部分にたまった塵を有効に収集することができる。
【００２０】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように本発明によれば、清掃対象が畳、じゅうたん、カーペットなどのように表面が平坦でなく、かつその凹凸が複雑な場合にも有効に塵の収集を行うことができ、板あるいはプラスチック床面のように平坦な床面に対しても効果的な収塵を行うことができる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an improved cleaning tool for cleaning floors, carpets, tatami mats, furniture surfaces and the like. In particular, the present invention relates to a cleaning tool that can be used by covering a cleaning end with a fiber cloth and replacing the fiber cloth.
[0002]
[Prior art]
The applicant of the present application manufactures and sells a cleaning tool comprising a handle, a holding plate connected to the handle, and an elastic body attached to the holding plate, and covering the elastic body with a thin fiber cloth. Very popular. The basic structure is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 2-119152.
[0003]
In the conventional structure, the elastic body has a substantially flat surface, and a disposable fiber cloth is placed on the flat surface.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
When the object to be cleaned is flat like a plastic floor, the cleaning tool with the above structure can be used for uniform cleaning, but when the cleaning surface is uneven, the structure with the above structure is not necessarily uneven due to the movement of the fiber cloth. It may not be possible to collect the dust in the valley. The inventor of the present application tried various improvements and performed a number of tests so that even the uneven surface could be uniformly cleaned up to the valley of the uneven surface.
[0005]
An object of the present invention is to provide a cleaning tool that can be effectively cleaned even when the surface to be cleaned is not flat, such as a carpet. An object of the present invention is to provide a cleaning tool capable of performing effective cleaning without applying force even to a flat surface such as a plastic floor surface.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention forms a large number of protrusions on the surface of the elastic body of a cleaning tool that covers a thin fiber cloth and collects dust on the floor surface by operating the handle. It is possible to collect dust.
[0007]
That is, the present invention includes a handle, a holding plate connected to the handle, and an elastic body attached to the holding board, and the elastic body in which the fiber cloth is detachably covered on the elastic body. A large number of convex portions are formed on the surface of the film.
[0008]
When the surface to be cleaned is not flat, such as tatami mats or carpets, a large number of convex portions formed on the surface of the elastic body push the fiber cloth to the valley portion and collect dust. When the surface to be cleaned is flat, the fiber cloth on the concave portion is not pushed in, so almost the entire surface comes into contact with the floor surface and collects dust uniformly.
[0009]
The elastic body is formed in a rectangular plate shape, and irregularities are formed by providing protrusions having a height of 0.5 to 10 mm on the surface (surface in contact with the floor). The arrangement of the protrusions is preferably aligned obliquely with respect to the rectangle. Usually, the cleaning operation of the holding plate by the handle is performed in the front-rear direction or the left-right direction. Therefore, if the protrusions are arranged obliquely, the protrusions pass through the entire operation direction, and the fiber cloth is brought into contact with the cleaning surface without gaps. be able to.
[0010]
The protrusion can be made of the same material as the elastic body or a material harder than the elastic body. However, if the surface is soft, such as carpets or carpets, it is easier to handle the elastic body softer than the protrusion. The fiber cloth can be effectively brought into contact with the cleaning surface. In addition, if the projection is a two-tiered structure with a hemisphere with a smaller diameter on top of a hemisphere, the fiber cloth will be pushed out to the details in the case of a soft floor surface, so not only the surface in the case of carpets etc. The inside can also be effectively cleaned.
If the surface of the elastic body is formed into a curved shape, the protrusions can easily enter the interior when the object to be cleaned has a depth such as a carpet, and the dust that has entered the valley bottom can be collected effectively.
[0011]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

【Example】
Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a configuration of a main part of an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a partial sectional view taken along line AA of FIG. 1 of the embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. FIG. 4A is a perspective view showing an external shape of an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4B is a perspective view showing a use state in which a fiber cloth is attached.
[0013]
The embodiment of the present invention includes a handle 1, a holding plate 2 connected to the handle 1, and an
[0014]
The
[0015]
In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, hemispherical diameter D 1 of the large projection 5 is about 6mm, smaller diameter D 2 of the hemisphere to be overlaid thereon 4mm about its height H is formed on the approximately 6mm The As shown in FIG. 1, 19 and 20 are alternately arranged in a slanting manner as shown in FIG.
[0016]
The handle 1 and the holding plate 2 are rotatably connected by a universal joint 6 as shown in FIG. 4, and when cleaning, the fiber cloth 4 is connected to the projection 5 side of the holding plate 2 as shown in FIG. The both ends are pushed into and locked by the four locking portions 2a so as to wrap the surface. Since the engaging portion 2a is formed so that a sawtooth shape is engaged with the
[0017]
As shown in FIG. 4B, cleaning is performed with the fiber cloth 4 covered. However, when the floor is flat, the fiber cloth 4 is tensioned at the time of locking. The entire surface is in contact with the floor without being affected by the dust and collects dust. In the case of a surface having a soft and irregular surface such as a carpet or a carpet, the fiber cloth 4 is partially pushed out by the projections 5 in the concave and convex valley portions, and the internal dust is collected. Since the protrusion 5 has a two-stage structure of a small hemisphere and a large hemisphere, the small hemispherical part pushes the fiber cloth 4 into a deep and narrow part, and the large hemispherical part brings the fiber cloth 4 into contact with the intermediate part, The space portion between the protrusions 5 brings the fiber cloth 4 into contact with the surface portion.
[0018]
The cleaning operation by the handle 1 is performed by moving the holding plate 2 back and forth or right and left. Since the array of the protrusions 5 is arranged in an oblique state, when the holding plate 2 moves in the front-rear direction or the left-right direction, the floor surface alternately receives the contact of the fiber cloth 4 by the protrusions 5 and the valleys between them. . Therefore, even if the floor surface is flexible, corresponding to the change, the deep part and the shallow part are wiped evenly by the fiber cloth 4, and dust is collected effectively.
[0019]
When the surface to be cleaned is soft and irregularly changed, the
[0020]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, dust can be effectively collected even when the object to be cleaned is not flat, such as tatami mats, carpets, and carpets, and the unevenness is complicated. Alternatively, effective dust collection can be performed even on a flat floor surface such as a plastic floor surface.
