Description

  The present invention relates to a cleaning tool and a set of dust removers, each of which includes a cleaning tool such as a basket for sweeping a floor or a tabletop brush for sweeping on a desk, and a dust remover that can be combined with these cleaning tools.

  Since cleaning tools such as scissors are often used together with dust removal, it is advantageous if the cleaning tools and dust removal can be handled together for convenience of storage and carrying. In order to cope with such circumstances, various configurations have been conventionally employed in which a cleaning tool is detachably supported by dust.

  For example, Patent Document 1 describes a set of a cleaning tool and a dust remover as shown in FIG. This cleaning tool and dust removal set B is composed of a collar 910 made of a handle 911 and a brush 913, and a dust removal 920 that can hold the collar 910 in an upright posture. The handle 911 of the collar 910 is in the form of a straight bar extending in the vertical direction in FIG. 8, and a brush 913 is continuously provided at the lower end of the handle 911. The brush 913 is a bundle of synthetic resin wires, bamboo branches, camellia, palm, and the like. The dust remover 920 is formed of an elastically deformable soft resin, and is configured by integrally providing a substantially semi-conical cylindrical dust receiving plate portion 922 at the tip of a substantially semi-cylindrical grip portion 921.

  In such a cleaning tool and dust removal set B, the dust receiving plate portion 922 has a substantially semi-conical shape in order to function as a stand for supporting the flange 910 and to prevent dust from spilling. The tip of the dust receiving plate portion 922 is curved in a semicircular shape. However, when dust is swept into the dust receiving plate portion 922, it is desirable that the tip of the dust receiving plate portion 922 be linear. The dust receiving plate portion 922 is made of an elastically deformable resin, but it is difficult to bring the tip of the semicircular dust receiving plate portion 922 close to a straight line. Further, when combining the heel 910 with the dust remover 920, there is no index for determining the position of the heel 910 with respect to the dust remover 920, which makes it difficult to combine. As described above, the positioning of the ridge 910 and the dust remover 920 cannot be performed. Therefore, when combined, there is a possibility that the tip of the ridge 910 hits the floor surface, and the tip of the ridge 910 becomes hazy.

According to such a configuration, the work of fitting and removing the handle to and from the gripping part becomes simple, and the fitting and removing work is complicated, so that the cleaning workability is not lowered.

  In a preferred embodiment, the dust receiving plate portion has a substantially second equilateral triangular front view shape with the connection portion with the gripping portion as a vertex. According to such a structure, since the width | variety of the front-end | tip part of a dust-receiving board part can be taken comparatively long, it is convenient when sweeping up dust.

  In a preferred embodiment, in the combined state, the dust receiving plate portion is concavely curved in any cross section from the connecting portion with the gripping portion to the tip edge on the dust receiving surface side facing the cleaning tool. The radius of curvature of the curvature is the smallest at the connecting portion and continuously increases toward the tip edge. According to such a configuration, the dust is swept into the concave portion of the dust receiving plate portion curved in a concave shape, so that the dust is not easily spilled, and the dust can be easily transferred to the trash box.

  The dust receiving plate portion is formed of an elastically deformable resin, and the front end edge can be deformed substantially linearly by pressing the convex side near the front end edge against a flat cleaning surface. As described above, when the tip edge is deformed in a substantially straight line, it is advantageous when sweeping dust into the dust receiving plate portion.

  The dust receiving plate portion is formed of a resin having a certain range on the tip edge side of which the rigidity is lower than the remaining portion. According to such a configuration, while maintaining the rigidity of the gripping part to a certain extent and gripping this part, it is possible to maintain the handleability of trimming and the proper fitting state with respect to the handle of the cleaning tool. It becomes easier to deform the leading edge of the plate portion into a substantially straight line as described above.

  In the combined state, the brush is formed so as not to contact or slightly contact the dust receiving surface of the dust receiving plate portion. According to such a configuration, when the cleaning tool and the dust remover are combined, the brush does not hit the dust receiving plate portion, and the brush tip of the brush is less painful.

  Other features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the detailed description given below with reference to the drawings.
