[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a glass cleaning tool for removing dirt, water droplets, and the like attached to a window glass and the like, and more specifically, wiping the glass surface using water and removing water droplets temporarily. It is related with the cleaning tool for glass which can.
In the present invention, “water” includes not only ordinary water such as tap water but also cleaning liquid such as detergent solution in its concept.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In general, when cleaning a window glass, first, water is sprayed on the glass surface by spraying or impregnated in a water absorbing member such as a dust cloth or sponge body, and then a T-shape with a spatula member is provided. It is usual to remove water and dirt adhering to the glass surface with a water droplet wiper.
[0003]
However, in the above conventional method, the supply and removal of water to and from the glass surface must be performed separately using two different types of cleaning tools, and handling and proper use of these tools is cumbersome and very laborious. In some cases, it takes more time and is difficult to clean depending on the location. For example, in the case of cleaning window glass at high places such as a high window or a window in a blow-off part, it is almost impossible to spray water with a spray. The method of using the wiper is also time consuming and cumbersome, and requires a lot of force because the water absorbing member with a long handle and the wiper must be used frequently while giving up and dragging them. It is heavy labor.
[0004]
On the other hand, in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 58-16373, a groove-shaped holder having right and left groove walls inclined outwardly is attached to the tip of a handle in a T-shape, and one groove wall of the groove-shaped holder is made of rubber. A cleaning tool having a structure in which a wiper blade is attached and a sponge abrasive member is attached to the other groove wall is disclosed. After the glass surface is polished by impregnating the abrasive member with a cleaning solution, the glass is wiped with the wiper blade. It is shown that it can be used to remove the cleaning liquid adhering to the surface. According to this cleaning tool, it is not necessary to prepare and use two types of cleaning tools separately, so that the cleaning work is relatively simple.
[0005]
However, in the cleaning tool, the wiper blade and the polishing member are attached to the left and right groove walls of the grooved holder so as to face different directions. When the blade is used, the direction of the cleaning tool must be reversed 180 back and forth, which is cumbersome and troublesome. Moreover, when adjusting the amount of impregnation of the cleaning liquid by squeezing the polishing member, there is only a method of compressing directly by hand or pressing it against another object, so that the work of adjusting the amount of impregnation of the cleaning liquid is troublesome. It is.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The technical problem of the present invention is that the glass surface can be easily cleaned and the water droplets can be removed by properly using the sponge body and the spatula member, and the water content of the sponge body can be reduced by squeezing the sponge body.
