Description

【０００１】
【発明の利用分野】
本発明は、簡易モップに関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
この種のモップとして、下面を拭取り面とする板状のモップ本体の上面から柄を突設したものが広く知られている。
【０００３】
【発明の解決しようとする課題】
上記モップは、モップ本体と柄とが一体成形されており、モップ本体上面からの柄の突出角度が固定されることとなるため、利用者の頭上にある網戸部分など、高い場所を拭き難かった。
【０００４】
これに対して、特開平11-99115号のものは、モップ本体と柄基部とを玉継手などで連結して柄に対するモップの角度調整可能に構成している。
【０００５】
しかし、このモップの柄は一定の長さであるため、部屋の内壁面などの高所を拭く場合にあわせて長くすると、ソファーなどの低所を拭くときに扱い難く、他方、低所を拭く場合にあわせて短くすると、上記内壁面の最上部を拭くために別に脚立などを用意する必要が生ずる。又、保管の際にはモップ本体の横幅及び柄の長さに応じた大きな保管スペースが必要となる。
【０００６】
本発明は、上記不都合を解消するため、柄を第１柄部と第２柄部とを枢着させて柄の折り畳み及びモップ本体からの着脱を簡易な構成で可能とした簡易モップを提供することを目的とする。
【０００７】
【課題を解決するための手段】
第１の手段は、下面１を拭取り面とし、かつ上面２一部に柄取付け部３を有するモップ本体Ａと、
上記柄取付け部３へ着脱自在に装着させた挟持部14を基部に有する柄部材Ｂと、からなり、
該柄部材は、上記挟持部14を有する第１柄部11と、該第１柄部先端部から該先端部へ基端部を軸着させて延設した第２柄部12とで折り畳み自在に形成され、これら両柄部の軸着側端部の一方及び他方に、相互に係合させた第１係合手段20a,20b を、かつ上記軸着側端部を除く第１、第２柄部分に柄部材Ｂ折り畳み状態で相互に係合可能な第２係合手段21a,21b をそれぞれ設けている。
【０００８】
第２の手段は、上記第１の手段を有すると共に、上記第１、第２柄部11,12 を、頂板15から左右側板16,16 を垂下させて、一方柄部の端部内へ他方柄部の端部を嵌合させ、該嵌合により重なり合う両柄部の左右側板相互を枢着させると共に、
上記第１係合手段20a,20b は、一方柄部の端部頂板部分から止めピン41を突出させると共に、他方柄部端部の頂板部分には、頂板端面へ開口する先狭のガイド通路42付きピン嵌合孔43を穿設して、止めピン41の着脱は、止めピンがガイド通路先狭部分を弾性に抗して強制通過することで可能に形成した。
【０００９】
第３の手段として、上記第１又は第２の手段を有すると共に、上記第１、第２柄部11,12 を、頂板15から左右側板16,16 を垂下して形成し、一方柄部の端部内へ他方柄部の端部を嵌合させてそれ等両柄部の枢着を、一方柄部端部の左右側板からそれぞれピン軸46,46 を突出させると共に、他方柄部端部の左右側板には、側板端面へ開口する先狭のガイド通路44付き軸孔45,45 を穿設して、上記ピン軸をガイド通路を介して軸孔45,45 内へ強制押込みして行った。
【００１０】
第４の手段として、上記第１の手段を有すると共に、上記第１、第２柄部11,12 はそれぞれ頂板15から左右側板16,16 を垂下した形状とし、かつ第１、第２柄部11,12 の軸着側端部のうち一方端部内へ他方端部を嵌挿して、これら両端部の左右側壁部分を軸着し、かつ折り畳みすると第１、第２柄部11,12 の一方内へ他方が収納されるように設けると共に、上記外方へ嵌合する一方端部から、上記第１係合手段20a,20b の係合及び第２係合手段21a,21b の係合を解除するレバー18が突出しており、
該レバーは、これら第１、第２柄部11,12 の一方の軸着側端部頂板部分を他方側へ延長すると共に、該延長板部を、他方柄部の頂板15から上外方へ次第に離れるように形成しており、
上記第１係合手段20a,20b は、上記他方柄部の軸着側端部頂板部分に穿設した係合孔と、該係合孔内へ嵌合させて上記レバー18基部から突出した係合突部とで形成し、
上記第２係合手段21a,21b は、上記第１、第２柄部11,12 の頂板裏面から垂下され、柄部材Ｂの折り畳み状態において相互に係合可能に設けた一対の係合片で形成した。
【００１１】
第５の手段として、下面１を拭取り面とし、かつ上面２一部に柄取付け部３を有するモップ本体Ａと、
上記柄取付け部３へ着脱自在に装着させた挟持部14を、弾性の板状とした基部に有し、かつ、該基部から後方へ柄部を突出した柄部材Ｂと、からなり、
上記柄取付け部３は、左右一対の軸受け５, ５の間に横設された軸棒６で形成され、
上記挟持部は、上記軸棒６の左右方向中間部前面へ当接させる前押圧板28と、上記軸棒６の左右両側部後面へそれぞれ当接させる一対の後押圧板29,29 とを、上記柄部材Ｂ基部の板状部下面から垂下すると共に、これら前押圧板28及び後押圧板29,29 の軸棒６当接部を係合凹部30,30 に形成しており、
かつ、上記前押圧板28の左右側方を通って前押圧板後方の板状部から該板状部前端まで第１割溝31、31 を穿設して、これら第１割溝間板状部を揺動板部33とすると共に、該揺動板部後方の板状部へU 字形状の第１割溝32を、該第２割溝両端ないし前部を両第１割溝31、31 後端に近接させ、かつ後押圧板29,29 間に位置させて穿設して、該第２割溝が囲んだ板状部を梃子状板部34となし、上記第１割溝後部と第２割溝前部との間の板状部を弾性板部35として、該弾性板部後方の梃子状板部を下方へ押し込むことで揺動板部33が上方へ揺動して上記軸棒６の挟持を解除可能とした。
【００１２】
第６の手段として、上記第５の手段を有すると共に、上記各後押圧板前面に対向して該前面との間に前記軸棒６左右両側部を挟持する一対の補助押圧板36、36 を上記柄部材Ｂ基部の板状部25から垂下した。
【００１３】
第７の手段として、上記第１、第２、第３、第４、第５又は第６の手段を有すると共に、上記モップ本体Ａは、上面に複数の清掃シート挟持部８…を付設しており、該挟持部は、モップ本体下面を包んだ清掃シートの両端部を挟持可能に形成した。
【００１４】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明に係る簡易モップは、合成樹脂製のモップ本体Ａと、該モップ本体に対する着脱及び折り畳み自在に形成した柄部材Ｂとで構成されている。
【００１５】
モップ本体Ａは、左右に長い板形であって、その下面１を拭取り面とすると共に、上面２中央部に柄取付け部３を有している。
【００１６】
該柄取付け部は、モップ本体Ａ上面から立設した左右一対の軸受け５，５の間に断面円形の軸棒６を横設したものである。
【００１７】
好適な図示例では、上記モップ本体Ａを中空の薄箱形に形成すると共に、図３に示す如くモップ本体頂壁の４つの角部付近に、該頂壁に複数切割り線を放射状に穿設することで清掃用シート挟持部８…をそれぞれ設け、これら挟持部によりモップ本体下面１を包む清掃用シートＳの両端部を図１に想像線で示す如く挟持させることで清掃用シートＳを装着可能に設けている。
【００１８】
上記柄部材Ｂは、上記柄取付け部３から後上方へ第１柄部11を突出すると共に、該第１柄部先端部へ第２柄部12の基端部を軸着して、これら両柄部の折り畳み状態での保管及び把持が可能に設けている。上記第１柄部11の基部は、上記柄取付け部３の軸受け５, ５間に嵌合されており、かつ既述軸棒６へ着脱自在に装着させた挟持部14を有する。
【００１９】
第１、第２柄部11,12 は、それぞれ頂板15を有して該頂板側縁から左右側板16,16 を垂下しており、第１柄部11の軸着側端部を第２柄部12の軸着側端部内へ嵌挿して、これら両軸着側端部における左側板部分相互及び右側板部分相互をそれぞれ軸着して、図５に示すように柄部材Ｂの折り畳みの際に第１柄部11の左右側板16,16 外面へ第２柄部12を外嵌させ、該第２柄部内へ第１柄部を収納させることが可能としている。
【００２０】
又、図１に示す如く第２柄部12の軸着側端部の頂板15部分からは、レバー18を突出する。該レバーは、図２に示すように、上記頂板部分の左右両側から第２柄部の先端側へ２本の切割線19,19 を穿設すると共に、これら両切割線間の頂板部分を第１柄部11側へ延長し、かつ、該延長板部が図１に示すように第１柄部11の頂板から上外方へ次第に離れるように形成することで設ける。
【００２１】
上記レバー18の基部と上記第１柄12の対応頂板部分とには、相互に係合して柄部材Ｂの伸長状態を保持する第１係合手段20b,20a を形成する。図示例では、第１柄部11の頂板部分に穿設した係合孔20a とレバー裏面から突出する係合突部20b とで上記第１係合手段を形成しているが、レバー側に係合孔を、又、第１柄部11の頂板部分に係合突部を形成することもできる。上記第１係合手段20a,20b は、伸長させた柄部材Ｂの第２柄部12を握って拭き掃除をする際に第１係合手段に作用する応力により解離しないように強固に係合させるものとし、かつレバー基端部と係合孔20ａとの間に所要距離をとり、レバー先端部に斜め上方への引っ張り力Ｆ₁を加えると、上記第１係合手段20ａ,20 ｂの係合を梃子作用により強制解除することが可能に設けている。
【００２２】
尚、上記柄部材Ｂの構造中、第１柄部11の軸着側端部を第２柄部12の軸着側端部内へ嵌合させる代わりに、第２柄部12の軸着側端部を第１柄部11の軸着側端部内へ嵌合させても良い。この場合には、図２において符号11及び12を相互に置換して得られる構成となる。
【００２３】
上記第１柄部11及び第２柄部12の各頂板15長手方向中間部からは、柄部材の折り畳み状態において相互に係合可能な第２係合手段21a,21b として一対の係合片を突出している。
【００２４】
上記第１柄部11の基部は、該基部を除く第１柄部部分の頂板に連設させて、図１に示す如く前下方へ傾斜する板状部25を有し、図示の例にあっては、この板状部を図３の如く左右方向へ拡幅する頂板として、該板状部前端から前板26を、又、板状部25の左右拡幅部分後縁から一対の後板27,27 を垂下し、これら後板を上記第１柄部分の左右側板に連続させて形成している。
【００２５】
上記第１柄部11基部の板状部25裏面からは、図１の如く既述軸棒６の左右方向中間部前面へ当接する前押圧板28と、図６の如く軸棒６左右両側部後面へ当接する一対の後押圧板29,29 とを垂下しており、これら前後押圧板で既述挟持部14を形成している。それら前押圧板28及び後押圧板29,29 の軸棒当接部には該軸棒６の下方抜出しを防止する係合凹部30,30 が形成されている。
【００２６】
更に上記第１柄部11基部には、図３に示す如く上記前押圧板28の左右側方を通って前押圧板後方の板状部分から上記前板26下端へ至る一対の第１割溝31,31 を、又、これら第１割溝後方の板状部分（基部を除く第１柄部分頂板部を含む）には、Ｕ字形の第２割溝32をそれぞれ穿設すると共に、上記両第１割溝間の板部分を揺動板部33に、かつ上記Ｕ字形第２割溝内の板部分を梃子状板部34に形成している。上記Ｕ字形第２割溝32の両前端部は、上記第１割溝31,31 の後端部に近接させて上記後押圧板29,29 の間に配置され、相互に対応する第２割溝前端部と第１割溝後端部との間の板部分を弾性板部35として、該板部を中心に上記揺動板部33及び梃子状板部34が一枚板として回動可能に設け、かつ上記弾性板部35部分は、梃子状板部34の後端部へ図１の如く押下げ力Ｆ₂を加えると、図７に示すように前押圧板28が軸棒６から離れてその挟持状態を解くと共に、上記押下げ力を解除すると上記弾性板部の弾性復原力により上記前押圧板が再び軸棒前面へ圧接されるように形成する。このような構成とするため、上記第１柄部11は、弾性及び剛性が大きい合成樹脂、例えばＡＢＳ樹脂やＰＰ樹脂で形成するものとする。
【００２７】
又、図示の例では、上記柄部材Ｂ基部の板状部25裏面から、上記一対の後押圧板29、29 前面にそれぞれ対応する一対の平板形の補助押圧板36、36 を軸棒６前面側へ垂下し、これら補助押圧板36と後押圧板29とで上記軸棒６の左右両側部を挟んでいる。これら補助押圧板36,36 は、例えば拭取り操作中に利用者が誤って梃子状板部34を押したときでも、上記後押圧板と共に上記軸棒６を挟持してモップ本体Ａが直ちに柄部材Ｂから落脱しないように設ける。
【００２８】
図８は本実施形態の変形例を示すものであり、上記第２割溝32前端部を上記両第１割溝31,31 後端部の内方乃至外方（図示例では外方）に該後端部との間に変形代をとりかつ第２割溝前端部と第１割溝後端部とが側外方から見て重なるように配置して、これら両端部間の板部分で形成する弾性板部35の強度を大としたものである。
【００２９】
上記構成において、清掃をするときには、図１に想像線で示す如くモップ本体Ａ下面１を清掃用シートＳで包むと共に、該シートの前後両端部をモップ本体Ａ上面側へ折り返して上記清掃用シート挟持部８に挟持させて、清掃用シートＳを装着する。そして高所にある清掃箇所を拭くときには、第２柄部12を握ってモップ本体Ａ下面側の拭取り面で目的面を拭けば良い。又、低所にある清掃箇所を拭くときには、レバー18を掴んで上後方へ引くと、上記第１係合手段20a,20b の係合が解け、第２柄部12が矢印の方向へ回動して図３乃至図５に示す如く柄部材B が折り畳まれると共に、図１に想像線で示す如く第２係合手段21a,21b が相互に係合して上記折り畳み状態を保持するので、この状態で第１、第２柄部11,12 を握持して拭き操作を行えば良い。図３に示す折り畳み状態から再び柄部材B を伸ばして使用したいときには、上記第１柄部11の左右両側板16,16 を上方側から掴んで上記レバー18をモップ本体Ｂの頂板側へ引っ張ると、柄部材Ｂ折り畳み操作と逆の過程を辿って図１の状態に戻る。
【００３０】
上記簡易モップを保管するときには、図１において梃子状板部34の上部を下後方へ押し込むと、該梃子状板部及び揺動板部33が弾性板部35を中心として回転することで、前押圧板28が前上方へ逃げて該前押圧板と後押圧板29,29 とによる軸棒６の挟持が解除され、次にモップ本体Ａを柄部材Ｂ基部に対して引っ張ると、上記軸棒６の左右両側部が上記補助押圧板36と後押圧板29との間から強制的に引き抜かれ、モップ本体と柄部材とが分離する。そして該柄部材Ｂを上述の手順で折り畳み、これらモップ本体及び柄部材を収納すればよい。
【００３１】
図９から図１１は、柄部材Ｂの第１変形例を示す。該第１変形例にあっては、第１係合手段20a,20b を図示のように形成すると共に、第２柄部12の頂板15から突出するレバー18を不要とした。即ち図１１が示すように第２柄部12の第１係合手段20b を、先端部大外径の止めピン41に形成すると共に、第１柄部11の第１係合手段20a を、図９が示すように頂板15端面へ開口する、先狭としたハ字形状のガイド通路42付きのピン嵌合孔43に形成した。
【００３２】
このようにすることで、図９、図１１のように第１柄部11の頂板15下方へ第２柄部12の頂板15を位置させ、かつ第１柄部の両側板外面へ第２柄部の両側板を重ねて嵌合させた状態から、軸13を中心として第２柄部12を回動させると、図１１が示すように止めピンの棒状部41a が上記ガイド通路42内へ入り、かつ上記先狭部分を強制通過することで、ピン嵌合孔43内へ嵌合する。止めピンの棒状部41a 外径とピン嵌合孔43の径とはほぼ同径であり、ガイド通路のピン嵌合孔側部分は棒状部外径よりもやや狭くしている。又該図１１が二点鎖線で示す、第２柄部12延長状態から、再び軸13を中心として第２柄部12を第１柄部11下方へ図９のように折畳みすることが出来る。
【００３３】
図１２から図１５は、柄部材Ｂの第２変形例を示す。該変形例は、第１、第２柄部11,12 の枢着を容易に行えるよう設けている。
【００３４】
図１３が示すように、第１柄部11先端部の左右側板部分に、側板端面に開口するガイド通路44付きの軸孔45,45 を穿設する。そのガイド通路は既述第１変形例のガイド通路42と同様に開口側が巾広でかつ軸孔45側を狭く、ハ字形状に形成している。
【００３５】
第２柄部12の左右両側板内面からは、ピン軸46,46 を突出させておき、これ等ピン軸を、図１５が示すように、第１柄部11へ第２柄部12を、上下逆向きとして、かつ上記軸孔45の開口先方にピン軸46,46 を位置させて嵌合させておき、該状態から第２柄部12を図左方へ、第１柄部11下面に沿って摺動させる。すると、ピン軸46,46 はガイド通路44,44 内に入り、狭少部分を強制通過することで軸孔45,45 内へ嵌合することとなる。該嵌合状態からピン軸46,46 を中心として第２柄部12を下方へ、続いて図右方向へ移動させることで、第１柄部の第１係合手段
20a としての係合孔内へ、第２柄部12の第１係合手段20b としての係合突部が嵌合する。これ等第１係合手段の取外しは上記操作を逆に行い、柄部材Ｂを折畳みすればよい。尚図示例においては第２係合手段21a,21b を、第１柄部左右側板の基部内面から突出させた突部47と第２柄部左右側板の先端面に設けた凹部48とで形成している。
【００３６】
【発明の効果】
本発明は上記構成のものであり、請求項１の発明によれば第１柄部11と第２柄部12とを軸着させて柄部材Ｂを折り畳み自在に設け、かつ第１、第２柄部に柄部材Ｂの屈・伸各状態を維持するための第２、第１係合手段を設けたから、拭取る場所の高低に合わせて柄部材を伸縮させることができ、使い勝手が良い。
【００３７】
請求項２記載のように形成することで、両柄部を延長させた状態の保持および折畳みを容易とすることが出来る。
【００３８】

【００３９】
請求項４の発明によれば次の効果を有する。
○第１、第２柄部11,12 は、それぞれ頂板15から左右側板16,16 を垂下すると共に、これら左右側板相互を軸着させて、柄部材の折り畳み状態で第１、第２柄部の一方内へ他方が収納されるように設けたから、折り畳み状態において握り易いコンパクトな形状となると共に、軽量に設けることができる。
○第１、第２柄部11,12 の軸着側端部のうち外方へ嵌合する一方端部からレバー18を突出すると共に、該レバー基部から突出した係合突部と他方端部の頂壁部分に設けた係合孔とで第１係合手段20a,20b を設けたから、清掃中に上記軸着側端部に加わる応力に対抗して第１係合手段の係合力を十分に大きくしながら、その係合を上記レバーの梃子作用により容易に強制解除することができる。
【００４０】
請求項５の発明によれば、次の効果を奏する。
○モップ本体Ａ上面の軸受け５，５間に横設された軸棒６を、柄部材Ｂの基部に有する挟持部14で着脱自在に挟持したから、上記モップ本体Ａに対する柄部材Ｂの角度を自在に変更することができると共に、モップ本体Ａ及び柄部材Ｂを分離して小さな保管スペースに収納させることができる。

[Field of the Invention]
The present invention relates to a simple mop.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As this type of mop, one having a handle protruding from the upper surface of a plate-shaped mop body having a lower surface as a wiping surface is widely known.
[0003]
[Problem to be Solved by the Invention]
In the above mop, the mop body and the handle are integrally molded, and the projection angle of the handle from the upper surface of the mop body is fixed, so it was difficult to wipe high places such as the screen door part above the user's head. .
[0004]
On the other hand, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-99115 is configured such that the mop body and the handle base are connected by a ball joint or the like so that the angle of the mop relative to the handle can be adjusted.
[0005]
However, this mop handle has a fixed length, so if you make it longer when wiping high places such as the inner wall surface of a room, it will be difficult to handle when wiping low places such as sofas, while wiping low places If shortening according to the case, it will be necessary to prepare a stepladder etc. in order to wipe the uppermost part of the said inner wall surface. Further, when storing, a large storage space corresponding to the width of the mop body and the length of the handle is required.
[0006]
In order to eliminate the inconveniences, the present invention provides a simple mop in which a handle is pivotally attached to a first handle portion and a second handle portion so that the handle can be folded and detached from the mop body with a simple configuration. For the purpose.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The first means is a mop body A having a lower surface 1 as a wiping surface and a handle attaching portion 3 on a part of the upper surface 2;
A handle member B having a holding portion 14 detachably attached to the handle attachment portion 3 as a base,
