[0018]
As shown in FIG. 1, the cleaning article 20 is mounted on the holder 10 of the present invention.
The holder 10 is integrally formed with a mounting portion 2 and a grip portion 4 and an arm portion 7 that connects the mounting portion 2 and the grip portion 4 with synthetic resin or wood. However, for example, the arm portion 7 and the grip portion 4 may be integrated, the mounting portion 2 may be a separate body, and the mounting portion 2 may be assembled to the arm portion 7 during use.
[0019]
The mounting portion 2 is formed with insertion portions 3 and 3 that form a pair that is bifurcated on the base side and extends to the front side. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a step surface 2 b is formed on the lower surface of the mounting portion 2 on the base end side with respect to the branch portion 3 b of the insertion portions 3, 3. Means 5 are provided. The step surface 2b is positioned above the lower surface 2a of the portion of the mounting portion 2 where the insertion portions 3 and 3 are formed by a slight dimension.
[0020]
The hooking means 5 has a large number of protrusions 6 protruding downward from the step surface 2b. The protrusion 6 may be formed integrally with the resin when the mounting portion is molded with resin, or a so-called latching fastener in which a large number of protrusions 6 are formed to protrude from the resin sheet. May be bonded to the stepped surface 2b.
[0021]
As shown in FIG. 2, the height (step height) H from the lower surface 2 a of the insertion portions 3 and 3 to the step surface 2 b pressed the mounting portion 2 against the upper surface of the wiping sheet 21 of the cleaning article 20. Sometimes the upper surface of the wiping sheet 21 has a very small dimension so as to hit the stepped surface 2b, and the height H is the volume (thickness) of the wiping sheet 21 of the cleaning article 20 in a state where no pressure is applied. The height H is preferably ½ or less of the bulk (thickness) of the wiping sheet 21. For example, the height H is about 1 to 4 mm.
[0022]
And it is preferable that the said protrusion 6 is the length of the range which the lower end does not protrude below from the lower surface 2a of the said insertion parts 3 and 3. FIG. However, the protrusion 6 may protrude downward from the lower surface 2a.
[0023]
Furthermore, when the so-called latching fastener in which a large number of protrusions 6 are formed protruding from the resin sheet is used as the latching means 5, the height H is preferably larger than the thickness of the resin sheet. By comprising in this way, it can prevent that the said resin sheet protrudes below the lower surface 2a of the mounting part 2. FIG.
[0024]
As shown in FIG. 3, in the latching means 5, the protrusions 6 are formed in rows in the vertical direction on both sides in the width direction of the mounting portion 2. However, the number and the arrangement of the protrusions 6 can be set as appropriate.
[0025]
As shown in FIG. 1, in the holder 10, the arm portion 7 extends from the base portion of the mounting portion 2 so as to rise obliquely upward, and the grip portion 4 is continuously formed at the upper end of the arm portion 7. ing. The grip portion 4 is at a high position away from the lower surface 2 a of the mounting portion 2, and the grip portion 4 is substantially parallel to the mounting portion 2.
[0026]
As shown in FIG. 1, an example of the cleaning article 20 attached to the holding unit 10 includes a wiping sheet 21 in which almost the entire lower surface thereof is a wiping surface. The wiping sheet 21 is formed of a single nonwoven fabric, a laminate of a plurality of nonwoven fabrics, or a composite sheet in which the middle layer is a film and the upper and lower layers are nonwoven fabrics. The lower layer that forms the wiping surface of the wiping sheet 21 is preferably one that can exhibit an effect of collecting dust and dust by the appearance of some fibers on the surface, and is formed of, for example, a thermoplastic synthetic fiber. Or a nonwoven fabric containing thermoplastic synthetic fibers and regenerated cellulose fibers such as rayon, and a spunlace nonwoven fabric is particularly preferred.
[0027]
Moreover, the embossing is given to the nonwoven fabric which forms the said wiping sheet | seat 21, and the lower surface used as the wiping surface is preferably used as the uneven | corrugated shape. Further, the wiping sheet 21 may be one in which a large number of fibers and yarns are planted on the lower surface of the nonwoven fabric serving as a base material to form a wiping surface, or a tow surface is formed on the lower surface of the base material. The long fiber layer opened from (TOW) is laminated, and the long fiber layer and the substrate are partially welded. The long fiber layer appears on the wiping surface and collects dust and dirt. It may be one that exhibits a collecting effect.
[0028]
A holding material 23 is attached to the upper surface 21 a of the wiping sheet 21. The holding material 23 is formed of a sheet material such as a resin film formed of a thermoplastic (heat-fusible) synthetic fiber, or a nonwoven fabric containing the thermoplastic synthetic fiber, or a thermoplastic resin. ing.
[0029]
The holding material 23 is joined to the upper surface 21a of the wiping sheet 21 by three joining lines 24a, 24a, 24a extending in parallel in the vertical direction in the central region in the width direction. The edge part is joined to both edge parts of the wiping sheet 21 by joint lines 24b and 24b. When the wiping sheet 21 and the holding material 23 are heat-fusible, the joining lines 24a and 24b are heat-sealing lines. However, the wiping sheet 21 and the holding member 23 may be stitched or bonded at the joining lines 24a and 24b.
[0030]
And in the area | region pinched | interposed by the said 3 joining line 24a, the holding | maintenance clearance gaps 23a and 23a are formed between the upper surface 21a of the said wiping sheet | seat 21, and the said holding material 23. FIG. The holding gaps 23a and 23a are parallel to each other and extend in the vertical direction.
[0031]
However, the holding member 23 may be formed of a plurality of laterally extending strips having a predetermined width, and the strips may be attached at intervals in the longitudinal direction to form the retaining gaps 23a and 23a. .
[0032]
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the longitudinal length L <b> 1 in the range where the holding gaps 23 a and 23 a are formed is shorter than the longitudinal length L <b> 0 of the wiping sheet 21. . As a result, at the base side of the wiping sheet 21, that is, at the portion where the latching means 5 of the holder 10 faces, the wiping sheet 21 protrudes by a length L2 from the holding gaps 23a and 23a, and the length In the range of the length L2, the nonwoven fabric (fiber sheet) forming the upper surface 21a of the wiping sheet 21 appears. In addition, a bulky air-through nonwoven fabric, spunlace nonwoven fabric, fiber web, or the like may be partially laminated in the region of the length L2.
[0033]
Further, the wiping sheet 21 protrudes from the holding gaps 23a, 23a in the range of the length L3 on the front end side in the longitudinal direction of the wiping sheet 21, and the wiping sheet 21 also extends in the range of the length L3. A fiber sheet such as a nonwoven fabric forming the upper surface 21a appears. Therefore, the cleaning article 20 can be attached to the holder 10 from either the front or rear direction.
[0034]
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, when cleaning is performed, the insertion portions 3 and 3 are inserted into the holding gaps 23a and 23a. When the insertion portions 3 and 3 are inserted into the holding gaps 23a and 23a, the hooking means 5 provided on the base side of the lower surface of the mounting portion 2 of the holder 10 is wiped by the portion of the length L2 of the cleaning article 20. It faces the upper surface 21 a of the take-up sheet 21.
[0035]
In this state, the grip portion 4 is pushed downward by hand, and the cleaning article 20 is pressed against the cleaning surface 30 such as a floor surface by the mounting portion 2. At this time, the wiping sheet 21 is pressed against the cleaning surface 30 by the lower surface 2a of the portion where the insertion portions 3 and 3 of the mounting portion 2 are formed, and the wiping sheet 21 is compressed in the thickness direction.
[0036]
However, since the stepped surface 2b is provided on the base end portion side of the mounting portion 2, the amount of compression in the thickness direction of the wiping sheet 21 is small at the portion facing the stepped surface 2b, and the length L2 region. The wiping sheet 21 is in contact with the protrusion 6 of the latching means 5 in a state where the bulk is not completely crushed. In the region of the length L2, the wiping sheet 21 hits the protrusion 6 in a state where the wiping sheet 21 is not completely crushed. Therefore, the protrusion 6 is between fibers of a fiber sheet such as a nonwoven fabric forming the upper surface 21a of the wiping sheet 21. The cleaning article 20 can be reliably held by the latching means 5.
[0037]
When the cleaning article 20 is slid along the cleaning surface 30 while holding the grip portion 4, dust and dirt on the cleaning surface 30 are captured by the wiping surface on the lower surface of the wiping sheet 21. However, during this cleaning operation, the grip portion 4 held by the hand is continuously pressed in the direction of the cleaning surface 30, so that the hooking means 5 is always pressed against the upper surface 21 a of the wiping sheet 21. Therefore, the cleaning article 20 is kept firmly held by the latching means 5 even during cleaning, and the mounting portion 2 and the cleaning article 20 are not easily displaced. In particular, when the grip part 4 is pulled in the right direction in FIG. The cleaning article 20 can reliably follow the movement.
[0038]
In addition, since the protrusion 6 does not protrude below the lower surface 2a of the insertion portions 3 and 3 in the stepped surface 2b of the mounting portion 2, the protrusion 6 causes the base of the wiping sheet 21 to be excessive on the cleaning surface 30. Without being pressed, the wiping sheet 21 is pressed against the cleaning surface 30 mainly by the lower surface 2a of the insertion portions 3 and 3. Therefore, the wiping sheet 21 can be reliably pressed against the cleaning surface 30 by the insertion parts 3 and 3, and the wide area of the lower surface of the wiping sheet 21 can function effectively for cleaning.
[0039]
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 and subsequent figures, the arm portion 7 extends upward from the base portion of the mounting portion 2, and the grip portion 4 is continuous with the arm portion 7, so that the grip portion is sufficiently separated from the cleaning surface 30. The part 4 can be held by hand, and the grip part 4 is easily held. Moreover, it is easy to press the cleaning article 20 in the direction of the cleaning surface 30 while holding the grip portion 4.
[0040]
Further, when the cleaning article 20 is discarded or replaced, the length L2 portion of the wiping sheet 21 is peeled off from the mounting portion 2 so as to be bent downward, and the upper surface 21a of the wiping sheet 21 is latched. The hooked state with the means 5 can be easily released.
[0041]
FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a modification of the holder of the present invention. The holder 31 shown in FIG. 5 has a plate-shaped mounting portion 32 and a grip portion 33. The mounting portion 32 is not branched, and the tip portion is a single insertion portion.
[0042]

Is joined to the wiping sheet 41, and both edges of the holding material 42 are joined to the edge of the wiping sheet 41 by the joining lines 43 b and 43 b. A holding gap 42 a is formed between the wiping sheet 41 and the holding material 42 between the bonding line 43 a and the bonding line 43 a. However, the front end 42b of the holding gap 42a is closed, and the holding gap 42a has a bag shape.
[0043]
And the upper surface 41a of the wiping sheet 41 protrudes in front of the holding gap 42a, and when the mounting portion 32 of the holder 31 is inserted into the holding gap 42a, the base portion of the lower surface 32a of the mounting portion 32 The step surface 32 b formed on the step surface 32 and the latching means 35 provided on the step surface 32 b face the upper surface 41 a of the wiping sheet 41.
