  The present invention relates to a wiping body for cleaning a floor surface and a wall surface, and a cleaning tool including a wiping body holder that can be freely inserted into and removed from the wiping body. The present invention relates to a wiping body holder that makes it possible to clean a space, and a cleaning tool that includes a wiping body attached to the wiping body holder.

  As a wiping body holder for inserting a wiping body such as a bag-shaped mop to constitute a cleaning tool and detaching the wiping body after use, it has been described in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-237487 (Patent Document 1). There is something. FIG. 12 shows the wiping body holder 102 in Patent Document 1.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2005-237487

  However, the wiping body holder 102 of the two-axis rotation method has the following points to be improved. As an example, a conventional wiping body holder such as the wiping body holder 102 is suitable for cleaning fine dust and hair, but is suitable for removing dust having a size that can be visually recognized. Absent. That is, in the wiping body for the conventional wiping body holder, the pile is soft, and such a pile is easily entangled with fine dust or hair. However, as for large dust, even if the pile is entangled, it is detached immediately, so that it does not adhere to the pile and is difficult to remove. In order to sweep large trash using a soft pile, it is necessary to apply pressure to the wiping body holder to sweep out the trash. However, the conventional wiping body holder having a large area has a weak point that it is difficult to apply a high pressure enough to forcibly move the dust and the dust cannot be pushed.

  Further, the wiping body holder 102 has a rotating portion 141 having two orthogonal axes (universal joints) in the connection between the wiping body gripping tool 121 and the handle 104, and the wiping body gripping tool 121 has a longitudinal direction and a width. The handle 104 is rotatable in the direction (cleaning direction). The wiping body gripping tool 121 is inverted by the combined effect of the rotation in the width direction and the friction between the wiping body 101 and the floor surface during cleaning. FIG. 13 is a conceptual diagram showing inversion of the wiping body gripping tool 121 in the conventional wiping body holder 102. When performing a cleaning operation by moving back and forth using a cleaning tool having the conventional wiping body holder 102, the rotating part 141, which is a connecting part with the handle, rotates about 180 ° in the width direction rotating shaft 154. In order to make it possible, when the wiping body gripping tool 121 is moved in the width direction of the wiping body gripping tool 121, as shown in FIG. However, as shown in (13C) of FIG. 13, there has been a problem that the lower surface of the wiping body gripping tool 121 is reversed to the back side. When the lower surface of the wiping body gripping tool 121 is reversed, it is necessary to manually return the wiping body gripping tool 121 to the original state (see (13A) in FIG. 13). The finger touched it and became dirty, which hindered smooth cleaning. This reversal is more likely to occur as the handle 104 is tilted, and thus has caused difficulty in cleaning a narrow space such as under the sofa. Furthermore, the conventional wiping body gripping tool 121 is wide, and it is further difficult to use it for cleaning a narrow space or the like.

  Furthermore, in the case of a structure in which two holding pieces protrude in the form of a single plate on the left and right of the handle, like the wiping body holder 102 in FIGS. 12 and 13, there are the following points to be improved. In FIG. 12, the holding pieces 131 and 132 are inserted into the pair of left and right bags 112A and 112B of the wiping body 101 to fix the wiping body 101 to the wiping body gripping tool, but the wiping body 101 is fixed in the width direction. There is no mechanism at all, and therefore, during cleaning, the wiping body 101 easily rotates in the width direction (cleaning direction) with the holding pieces 131 and 132 as the central axis. Moreover, since no means for fixing the central portion of the wiping body 101 is provided, the central portion of the wiping body 101 is likely to hang downward in a U-shape from the wiping body gripping tool 102, and this U-shaped portion is removed during cleaning. When caught on the floor, the U-shaped portion may be twisted due to the ease of rotation described above, and the front and back may be partially reversed.

  Therefore, the object of the present invention can be used for both wiping off small dust and hair and sweeping out large dust, preventing the above-mentioned wiping body gripping tool from being reversed, and providing the wiping body gripping tool with a bag portion of the wiping body. By firmly fixing, the rotation and separation of the wiping body are almost completely regulated, and further, a wiping body holder that can prevent the wiping body from being twisted during cleaning and a wiping body to be attached to the wiping body are provided. And it is providing the cleaning tool using these wiping body holders and wiping bodies.

  According to a tenth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a wiping body in which an opening for allowing the protrusion of the locking means to protrude and retract from the bag cloth is formed on the upper surface of the pair of bag portions.

  In an eleventh aspect of the present invention, the wiping body includes a canvas portion and a pile portion in which a large number of piles are planted on the lower surface of the canvas portion, and the bag cloth is generated on the upper surface of the canvas portion. Wiping body.

  A twelfth aspect of the present invention includes the left-right opening / closing type wiping body holder according to any of the first to eighth aspects and the wiping body according to any of the ninth to eleventh aspects, It is a cleaning tool assembled by holding the wiping body on a body holder.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, in the wiping body holder of the present invention, the width direction of the gripping part main body is set as the cleaning direction, and the handle is disposed in the longitudinal direction on the rotation shaft provided on the upper part of the gripping part main body. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a wiping body holder that can be easily rotated in the cleaning direction even though it is difficult to reverse during cleaning. The prevention of this inversion and the longitudinal shape of the wiping body holder facilitate the cleaning of a narrow space by the wiping body holder of the present invention. In addition, since the lower surface of the wiping body holder is narrow, it is easy to apply pressure to the lower surface during cleaning. Therefore, in addition to wiping fine dust and hair, the wiping body holder can be used to sweep large dust. Can be removed, which helps to increase the efficiency and speed of cleaning. In addition, a pair of hook-shaped grips having slit-like openings formed upward over the entire length in the longitudinal direction facing the lower surface of the gripping part main body are arranged. If inserted, the wiping body can be held over the entire length in the longitudinal direction of the wiping body holder by the grip body and the pair of hook-shaped gripping bodies, and the wiping body is firmly fixed. be able to. This firm fixation prevents the wiping body from rotating around the hook-shaped gripping body as an axis and preventing the wiping body from being separated from the hook-shaped gripping body during cleaning.

Since the gripping part main body here is longitudinal, the wiping body holder is also longitudinal and can roll in the width direction (cleaning direction), but does not roll in the longitudinal direction. The pair of hook-shaped grippers have the slit-shaped opening, and have an inner circumferential curved surface on the inner periphery of the slit-shaped opening. In the closed state, the wiping body is firmly sandwiched between the inner peripheral curved surface and the main body curved surface which is the lower surface of the grip portion main body. In order to facilitate the insertion of the wiping body, it is preferable that a tapered portion is formed at the tip of the hook-shaped gripping body.
Furthermore, since the wiping body holder of the present invention can be rotated in the cleaning direction by using the outer curved surface as a rolling surface, the rotating shaft portion of the handle needs to be a universal joint. No. The rotating shaft portion that connects the grip portion main body and the handle of the present invention is rotatable only in the longitudinal direction, and thus is not a universal joint. Since the handle does not rotate in the width direction (cleaning direction), the wiping body holder does not reverse during cleaning. Nevertheless, since the wiping body holder itself can roll in the cleaning direction, the rotation of the wiping body holder in the cleaning direction is not limited.

The material of the present invention is most preferably plastic that is lightweight and can be easily processed, but metal and wood can also be used in order to enhance strength and aesthetics. These materials may be used at the same time. For example, the gripping part main body may be made of plastic, and the bowl-shaped gripping body may be made of metal. Further, as a structure, the gripping part main body may be solid in order to ensure strength, or the gripping part main body may be hollow in order to ensure light weight. Alternatively, the grip body may be formed of a plurality of ribs in order to make the gap lighter and ensure strength.
In the present invention, the mechanism of the locking means for fixing the pair of hook-shaped gripping bodies to the gripping part main body is not particularly limited, but must be fixable without interfering with the wiping body or the like, and is in an open state. It is preferable that the operation for making is simple. As a usable form, for example, the operation part of the lock unit is arranged on the upper surface of the gripper body for easy operation, and the fixing part of the lock unit is used as a hook-shaped gripper on the lower surface of the gripper body. It is possible to arrange in the part which faces. However, this locking means may consist only of a rotation limiting means for the hinge shaft, for example.
The hinge of the present invention may have a simple structure consisting only of the hinge shaft. However, if necessary, a rotation restricting means such as a ratchet type or an uneven meshing type may be provided.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, when the hook-shaped gripping body is closed, the bag cloth forming the bag portion is sandwiched between the gripping section main body and the pair of hook-shaped gripping bodies. Since the wiping body covers the pair of hook-shaped gripping bodies, the bag cloth is pulled by the curved surface of the main body of the gripping portion main body, and the wiping body is stretched by the hook-shaped gripping body. Close contact with. Therefore, rotation and detachment due to the displacement of the wiping body are prevented during cleaning. In addition, since the wiping body covers these pair of hook-shaped gripping bodies, the pile of the wiping body is mounted to the vicinity of the upper surface of the gripping part main body. The rotating shaft portion is protected, so that the rotating shaft portion can be prevented from being damaged due to a collision with furniture or the like. Since the wiping body of the present invention has two bag portions and can be bent, the wiping body can be easily inserted into the pair of hook-shaped gripping bodies that are open and hang down due to their own weight. The wiping body of the present invention has a canvas portion, which is a cloth material, as a base material, and a pile is planted on the lower surface, but in order to prevent interference with the main body curved surface and the inner circumferential curved surface in the above-described holding state. The upper surface is preferably a bag cloth on which no pile is implanted.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, the inner peripheral curved surface formed on the inner peripheral side of the bowl-shaped gripping body and the main body curved surface of the gripping part main body face each other to form a gap, and this gap Since the bag cloth is held inside, the bag cloth is firmly held by the inner peripheral curved surface and the main body curved surface, and the wiping body can be prevented from shifting during cleaning. Prevention of this deviation is particularly important when a large amount of dust is swept away by applying pressure to the wiping body holder of the present invention. It is preferable that the gap here is constant in order to hold the bag cloth as wide as possible. Moreover, in order to ensure this pinching, it is preferable that the pile cloth is not planted with a pile.

  According to the third aspect of the present invention, since the outer peripheral curved surface that is convex outward is formed on the outer peripheral side of the bowl-shaped gripper, the wiping body holder rolls on the outer peripheral curved surface. The surface can be rotated in the cleaning direction, and thus the wiping body holder can be rotated in the cleaning direction without using a universal joint that causes rollover. The cross-sectional curve in the width direction of the outer peripheral curved surface is preferably circular or semi-circular, but any curved surface that does not have corners or concave curved surfaces can be used. Also, even if there is a corner, it can be used if it is not an acute angle of less than 90 °.

  According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, since the grip body tip details shortened as the width of each of the pair of hook-shaped grip bodies advances toward the distal end side of the hook-shaped grip body, The wiping body can be more easily inserted through the body tip details. In addition, since both ends of the wiping body holder are tapered due to the fine details of the gripping body, cleaning of a narrow space by the wiping body holder is further facilitated.

  According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, the gripper body is composed of an upper surface plate and a plurality of longitudinal ribs projecting on the lower surface side of the upper surface plate and extending in the longitudinal direction. The grip portion main body can be formed firmly. These top plate and the plurality of longitudinal ribs are plate-like members extending in the longitudinal direction, and by combining them, a hollow structure having a gap can be realized, and this hollow structure is lighter than the solid structure, In addition, the strength is comparable to that of the solid structure. Moreover, by employing this hollow structure, the amount of material used can be reduced, leading to a reduction in the price of the wiping body holder of the present invention. Furthermore, by adopting this hollow structure, a lightweight gripping part body can be obtained even when a metal having a relatively high specific gravity is used as a material. The number of the longitudinal ribs can be adjusted to an appropriate number that achieves both ease of production and light weight, and can be set to 2 to 10 for example. In addition, it is good also considering the envelope which the lower side of these some longitudinal ribs forms the main body curved surface mentioned above. The gap between the longitudinal ribs can be adjusted within a range in which the mechanical strength of the gripping part main body can be maintained, and can be adjusted within a range of 5 mm to 50 mm, for example, depending on the number of the longitudinal ribs. Further, the bag cloth can be pressed sufficiently strongly against the inner peripheral curved surface by adjusting the adhesion, contact area, etc. between the envelope surface formed by the lower side of the longitudinal rib and the inner peripheral curved surface. Further, these plurality of longitudinal ribs have an effect of preventing the shifting of the sandwiched cloth in the width direction in particular, and therefore in the width direction of the wiping body during cleaning, which occurs in the conventional wiping body holder. This is particularly advantageous in applications where it is necessary to apply pressure downward to the wiping body holder, such as sweeping out dust and wiping off dirt that has strongly adhered to the floor surface.

  According to the sixth aspect of the present invention, since the plurality of width ribs protruding from the lower surface side of the upper surface plate and intersecting the longitudinal ribs in a lattice shape are formed, the grip portion main body is further lightweight and sturdy. Can be formed. In addition, the grip body having only the plurality of longitudinal ribs and the upper surface plate has sufficient rigidity, but the grip body has resistance to bending by further forming the plurality of width ribs. It becomes like this. Moreover, these several width ribs have the effect which prevents the shift | offset | difference to the longitudinal direction of the bag cloth to pinch | interpose, Therefore, the effect which prevents the deviation to the longitudinal direction of the wiping body at the time of cleaning is shown. Also here, there is an advantage in applications where it is necessary to apply pressure downward to the wiping body holder, such as wiping off dust and wiping off dirt strongly adhered to the floor surface.

According to the seventh aspect of the present invention, in the closed state, the tip formed at the tip of each of the pair of built-in members is a projection formed on each of the pair of hook-shaped grippers. Since they are engaged, the pair of hook-shaped gripping bodies are firmly fixed to the gripping part main body, and the closed state is reliably maintained. Further, when the open state is established, the built-in member is moved in the longitudinal direction together with the tip portion by moving the slide button in the slide hole, and the engagement between the tip portion and the protrusion is released. Therefore, the pair of hook-shaped grips can be easily and arbitrarily opened.
The slide button (opening / closing operation unit) is preferably arranged near the center of the upper surface of the gripping unit main body from the viewpoint of operability. On the other hand, the tip part (engagement part) needs to be placed near the hook-shaped gripping body, that is, on the lower surface of the gripping part body, and is placed near the tip of the gripping part body to secure the fixing strength. It is preferred that With the built-in member in this embodiment, the slide button (opening / closing operation part) and the tip part (engaging part) can be separated, and therefore the opening / closing operation part and the engaging part are provided at the optimum positions described above. Can do. Moreover, although the protrusion in this embodiment has a claw-like structure for engaging with the tip portion, it is also preferably formed near the tip of the hook-shaped gripping body.

  According to the eighth aspect of the present invention, since the pair of slide buttons can be operated simultaneously with only one hand, an operation for opening can be easily performed. Since the pair of slide buttons in this embodiment are arranged close to each other in the vicinity of the center in the longitudinal direction of the grip portion main body, a thumb is put on one slide button and an index finger and / or a middle finger is put on the other slide button. Thus, both slide buttons can be operated with one hand. In this embodiment, the gripper body (and the wiping body holder) can be lifted with this hand while picking both slide buttons with one hand, so that the wiping body can be attached and detached with the other hand. . Therefore, the detaching operation of the wiping body can be performed easily and quickly.

  According to the ninth aspect of the present invention, since the pair of bag portions into which the pair of hook-shaped gripping bodies are inserted are formed at both ends of the wiping body, the wiping body is formed on the pair of hook-shaped gripping bodies. Can be inserted easily. The wiping body of this embodiment has a bag-like structure, and an insertion port is formed on the upper surface of the wiping body, and the pair of bag parts are divided by the insertion port. The insertion port is a common bag port for the pair of bag portions, and the pair of hook-shaped grips are inserted into the pair of bag portions from the insertion port. Therefore, by bending the wiping body at the insertion port, the pair of suspended hook-shaped gripping bodies can be inserted into the pair of bag portions, and the wiping body can be easily attached.

  According to the tenth aspect of the present invention, an opening for allowing the protrusion of the locking means to protrude and retract from the bag cloth is formed on the upper surface of the pair of bag parts. Interference of the locking means can be prevented.

  According to an eleventh aspect of the present invention, the wiping body includes a canvas portion and a pile portion in which a large number of piles are planted on the lower surface of the canvas portion, and the bag cloth is formed on the upper surface of the canvas portion. Since it was produced | generated, both cleaning and pinching can be performed efficiently by isolate | separating the pile part used for cleaning, and the bag cloth used for pinching.

  According to the twelfth aspect of the present invention, the cleaning tool is assembled by holding the wiping body on the left-right opening / closing type wiping body holder, so that the wiping body is firmly held, inversion does not occur, pressure Even when applied, the wiping body does not diverge and rotate from the wiping body holder, the wiping body is easy to attach and detach, the structure is sturdy, and it is compact and has a narrow space, etc. Cleaning can be easily performed, and a cleaning tool capable of wiping fine dust and liquid dry matter and sweeping off large dust can be obtained.
