しかしながら、かかる清掃用具を用いて部屋の角を清掃しようとすると、ヘッド部と部屋の角との間にどうしても隙間が生じてしまう。そのため、部屋の角においては、床面の埃を捕集しきれない等、清掃が不充分になりがちである。このように、従来の清掃用具には、部屋の角において床を清掃しにくいという問題があった。 However, when such a cleaning tool is used to clean a corner of a room, a gap is inevitably generated between the head portion and the corner of the room. For this reason, cleaning tends to be insufficient at the corners of the room, for example, because dust on the floor cannot be collected. Thus, the conventional cleaning tool has a problem that it is difficult to clean the floor at the corner of the room.

本発明は、上記課題に鑑みてなされたものであり、部屋の角においても床を清掃しやすい清掃用具を提供することを目的とする。 This invention is made | formed in view of the said subject, and it aims at providing the cleaning tool which is easy to clean a floor also in the corner of a room.

本発明による清掃用具は、清掃シートを装着可能な矩形板状のヘッド部と、上記ヘッド部に連結された柄と、上記ヘッド部の四隅の１つである第１の隅に取り付けられた第１の弾性部材と、を備え、上記第１の弾性部材は、側面視で上記ヘッド部の底面から突出するとともに、平面視で上記ヘッド部の側面から突出していることを特徴とする。 A cleaning tool according to the present invention includes a rectangular plate-like head portion to which a cleaning sheet can be attached, a handle connected to the head portion, and a first corner attached to a first corner which is one of the four corners of the head portion. 1, wherein the first elastic member protrudes from the bottom surface of the head portion in a side view and protrudes from the side surface of the head portion in a plan view.

この清掃用具においては、ヘッド部の隅（第１の隅）に第１の弾性部材が取り付けられている。第１の弾性部材は、ヘッド部の底面及び側面から突出している。このため、ヘッド部の第１の隅を部屋の角に押し付けることにより、第１の弾性部材を変形させて当該角に密着させることができる。これにより、部屋の角においても、床の清掃を充分に行うことができる。 In this cleaning tool, a first elastic member is attached to a corner (first corner) of the head portion. The first elastic member protrudes from the bottom surface and the side surface of the head portion. For this reason, by pressing the first corner of the head portion against the corner of the room, the first elastic member can be deformed and brought into close contact with the corner. Thereby, the floor can be sufficiently cleaned even at the corner of the room.

本発明によれば、部屋の角においても床を清掃しやすい清掃用具が実現される。 ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the cleaning tool which is easy to clean a floor also in the corner of a room is implement | achieved.

The cleaning tool 1 is a cleaning tool (flooring wiper) used for floor cleaning, and includes a head portion 10, a handle 20, and elastic members 32, 34, 36, and 38.

ヘッド部１０は、矩形板状をしている。本実施形態においてヘッド部１０の形状は、略直方体である。ヘッド部１０には、清掃シートを装着することが可能である。清掃シートは、乾いたものであってもよいし、濡れたものであってもよい。清掃シートは、ヘッド部１０の底面（清掃時、床に対向する面）を覆うように装着される。清掃シートは、適宜の手段によりヘッド部１０に固定される。ヘッド部１０の材料としては、例えばプラスチックを用いることができる。 The head unit 10 has a rectangular plate shape. In the present embodiment, the shape of the head unit 10 is a substantially rectangular parallelepiped. A cleaning sheet can be attached to the head unit 10. The cleaning sheet may be dry or wet. The cleaning sheet is mounted so as to cover the bottom surface of the head unit 10 (the surface facing the floor during cleaning). The cleaning sheet is fixed to the head unit 10 by appropriate means. As a material of the head unit 10, for example, plastic can be used.

ヘッド部１０の上面には、柄２０が連結されている。柄２０は、清掃用具１の使用者が把持する部分であり、細長い棒状をしている。柄２０は、ヘッド部１０に対して動かないように固定されていてもよいし、ヘッド部１０に対して可動であってもよい。後者の場合、柄２０は、ヘッド部１０との連結部を頂点とする円錐面に沿って運動できるように構成されていることが好ましい。 A handle 20 is connected to the upper surface of the head unit 10. The handle 20 is a portion that is held by the user of the cleaning tool 1 and has an elongated bar shape. The handle 20 may be fixed so as not to move with respect to the head unit 10, or may be movable with respect to the head unit 10. In the latter case, the handle 20 is preferably configured so as to be able to move along a conical surface whose apex is the connecting portion with the head portion 10.

ヘッド部１０の四隅の１つである隅１２（第１の隅）には、弾性部材３２（第１の弾性部材）が取り付けられている。弾性部材３２は、ゴム等の弾性材料からなる。弾性部材３２は、ヘッド部１０よりも柔らかく変形しやすい。弾性部材３２は、ヘッド部１０に対して着脱可能であることが好ましい。ここで、着脱可能とは、清掃用具１の使用者が、ヘッド部１０及び弾性部材３２を損傷することなく、ヘッド部１０に対する弾性部材３２の取付け及び取外しを容易に行えるということである。 An elastic member 32 (first elastic member) is attached to a corner 12 (first corner) which is one of the four corners of the head unit 10. The elastic member 32 is made of an elastic material such as rubber. The elastic member 32 is softer and easier to deform than the head unit 10. The elastic member 32 is preferably detachable from the head unit 10. Here, detachable means that the user of the cleaning tool 1 can easily attach and remove the elastic member 32 to and from the head portion 10 without damaging the head portion 10 and the elastic member 32.

As a result, the corners of the bottom surface of the head unit 10 are covered with the elastic member 32. The figure shows a plane that includes the diagonal line of the bottom surface of the head unit 10 and is perpendicular to the bottom surface.

弾性部材３２は、隅１２にのみ設けられている。ここで、ヘッド部１０の底面を構成する矩形と１つの頂点を共有し、かつ１辺の長さが上記矩形の短辺の長さの４分の１に等しい正方形を考えたとき、平面視で当該正方形に重なる領域（図３に斜線で示した領域）をヘッド部１０の隅として定義する。 The elastic member 32 is provided only at the corner 12. Here, when considering a square that shares one vertex with the rectangle that forms the bottom surface of the head unit 10 and whose length of one side is equal to one-fourth of the short side of the rectangle, a plan view is obtained. Then, an area that overlaps the square (area shown by hatching in FIG. 3) is defined as a corner of the head unit 10.

図１に戻って、ヘッド部１０の四隅の他の１つである隅１４（第２の隅）には、弾性部材３４（第２の弾性部材）が取り付けられている。弾性部材３４は、ゴム等の弾性材料からなる。弾性部材３４は、ヘッド部１０よりも柔らかく変形しやすい。弾性部材３４の弾性率は、弾性部材３２の弾性率と同じであってもよいし、異なっていてもよい。弾性部材３４は、弾性部材３２から離間して設けられている。弾性部材３４は、ヘッド部１０に対して着脱可能であることが好ましい。 Returning to FIG. 1, an elastic member 34 (second elastic member) is attached to a corner 14 (second corner) which is another one of the four corners of the head portion 10.

本実施形態において弾性部材３４は、弾性部材３２と同様、ヘッド部１０の底面から側面にかけて設けられている。すなわち、弾性部材３４は、隅１４において、ヘッド部１０の底面の一部と２つの側面の各一部とを覆っている。これにより、ヘッド部１０の底面の角は、弾性部材３４によって覆い隠されている。弾性部材３４は、隅１４にのみ設けられている。 In the present embodiment, the elastic member 34 is provided from the bottom surface to the side surface of the head portion 10, similarly to the elastic member 32. That is, the elastic member 34 covers a part of the bottom surface of the head unit 10 and a part of each of the two side surfaces at the corner 14. Thereby, the corners of the bottom surface of the head portion 10 are covered with the elastic member 34. The elastic member 34 is provided only at the corner 14.

図１に戻って、ヘッド部１０の四隅の他の１つである隅１６（第３の隅）には、弾性部材３６（第３の弾性部材）が取り付けられている。弾性部材３６は、ゴム等の弾性材料からなる。弾性部材３６は、ヘッド部１０よりも柔らかく変形しやすい。弾性部材３６の弾性率は、弾性部材３２及び弾性部材３４の弾性率と同じであってもよいし、異なっていてもよい。弾性部材３６は、弾性部材３２及び弾性部材３４から離間して設けられている。弾性部材３６は、ヘッド部１０に対して着脱可能であることが好ましい。 Returning to FIG. 1, an elastic member 36 (third elastic member) is attached to a corner 16 (third corner) which is another one of the four corners of the head unit 10. The elastic member 36 is made of an elastic material such as rubber. The elastic member 36 is softer and easier to deform than the head unit 10. The elastic modulus of the elastic member 36 may be the same as or different from the elastic modulus of the elastic member 32 and the elastic member 34. The elastic member 36 is provided apart from the elastic member 32 and the elastic member 34. The elastic member 36 is preferably detachable from the head unit 10.

弾性部材３６は、弾性部材３２，３４と同様、側面視でヘッド部１０の底面から突出している。弾性部材３６におけるヘッド部１０の底面から突出した部分の長さは、２ｍｍ以上５ｍｍ以下であることが好ましい。また、弾性部材３６は、図３からわかるように、平面視でヘッド部１０の側面から突出している。弾性部材３６におけるヘッド部１０の側面から突出した部分の長さは、３ｍｍ以上１０ｍｍ以下であることが好ましい。 Similar to the elastic members 32 and 34, the elastic member 36 protrudes from the bottom surface of the head unit 10 in a side view. The length of the portion of the elastic member 36 protruding from the bottom surface of the head portion 10 is preferably 2 mm or more and 5 mm or less.

The length of the portion of the elastic member 36 protruding from the side surface of the head portion 10 is preferably 3 mm or more and 10 mm or less.

本実施形態において弾性部材３６は、図４からわかるように、ヘッド部１０の底面から側面にかけて設けられている。すなわち、弾性部材３６は、隅１６において、ヘッド部１０の底面の一部と２つの側面の各一部とを覆っている。これにより、ヘッド部１０の底面の角は、弾性部材３６によって覆い隠されている。弾性部材３６は、隅１６にのみ設けられている。 In this embodiment, as can be seen from FIG. 4, the elastic member 36 is provided from the bottom surface to the side surface of the head unit 10. That is, the elastic member 36 covers a part of the bottom surface of the head unit 10 and a part of each of the two side surfaces at the corner 16. Thereby, the corners of the bottom surface of the head portion 10 are covered with the elastic member 36. The elastic member 36 is provided only at the corner 16.

図１に戻って、ヘッド部１０の四隅の残りの１つである隅１８（第４の隅）には、弾性部材３８（第４の弾性部材）が取り付けられている。弾性部材３８は、ゴム等の弾性材料からなる。弾性部材３８は、ヘッド部１０よりも柔らかく変形しやすい。弾性部材３８の弾性率は、弾性部材３２、弾性部材３４及び弾性部材３６の弾性率と同じであってもよいし、異なっていてもよい。弾性部材３８は、弾性部材３２、弾性部材３４及び弾性部材３６から離間して設けられている。弾性部材３８は、ヘッド部１０に対して着脱可能であることが好ましい。 Returning to FIG. 1, an elastic member 38 (fourth elastic member) is attached to a corner 18 (fourth corner) which is the remaining one of the four corners of the head portion 10. The elastic member 38 is made of an elastic material such as rubber. The elastic member 38 is softer and easier to deform than the head portion 10. The elastic modulus of the elastic member 38 may be the same as or different from the elastic modulus of the elastic member 32, the elastic member 34, and the elastic member 36. The elastic member 38 is provided apart from the elastic member 32, the elastic member 34, and the elastic member 36. The elastic member 38 is preferably detachable from the head unit 10.

弾性部材３８は、弾性部材３２，３４，３６と同様、側面視でヘッド部１０の底面から突出している。弾性部材３８におけるヘッド部１０の底面から突出した部分の長さは、２ｍｍ以上５ｍｍ以下であることが好ましい。また、弾性部材３８は、図３からわかるように、平面視でヘッド部１０の側面から突出している。弾性部材３８におけるヘッド部１０の側面から突出した部分の長さは、３ｍｍ以上１０ｍｍ以下であることが好ましい。 The elastic member 38 protrudes from the bottom surface of the head unit 10 in a side view, like the elastic members 32, 34, and 36. The length of the portion of the elastic member 38 protruding from the bottom surface of the head portion 10 is preferably 2 mm or more and 5 mm or less. Moreover, the elastic member 38 protrudes from the side surface of the head part 10 by planar view so that FIG. 3 may show. The length of the portion protruding from the side surface of the head portion 10 in the elastic member 38 is preferably 3 mm or more and 10 mm or less.

本実施形態において弾性部材３８は、弾性部材３２，３４，３６と同様、ヘッド部１０の底面から側面にかけて設けられている。すなわち、弾性部材３８は、隅１８において、ヘッド部１０の底面の一部と２つの側面の各一部とを覆っている。これにより、ヘッド部１０の底面の角は、弾性部材３８によって覆い隠されている。弾性部材３８は、隅１８にのみ設けられている。 In the present embodiment, the elastic member 38 is provided from the bottom surface to the side surface of the head portion 10, similarly to the elastic members 32, 34, and 36. That is, the elastic member 38 covers a part of the bottom surface of the head unit 10 and a part of each of the two side surfaces at the corner 18. As a result, the corners of the bottom surface of the head unit 10 are covered with the elastic member 38. The elastic member 38 is provided only at the corner 18.

清掃用具１の効果を説明する。清掃用具１においては、ヘッド部１０の隅１２に弾性部材３２が取り付けられている。弾性部材３２は、ヘッド部１０の底面及び側面から突出している。このため、ヘッド部１０の隅１２を部屋の角（床面と２つの壁面とが集まる部分）に押し付けることにより、弾性部材３２を変形させて当該角に密着させることができる。これにより、部屋の角においても、床の清掃を充分に行うことができる。したがって、部屋の角においても床を清掃しやすい清掃用具１が実現されている。 The effect of the cleaning tool 1 will be described. In the cleaning tool 1, elastic members 32 are attached to the corners 12 of the head portion 10. The elastic member 32 protrudes from the bottom surface and side surface of the head unit 10. For this reason, by pressing the corner 12 of the head unit 10 against the corner of the room (the portion where the floor surface and the two wall surfaces gather), the elastic member 32 can be deformed and brought into close contact with the corner. Thereby, the floor can be sufficiently cleaned even at the corner of the room. Therefore, the cleaning tool 1 that easily cleans the floor at the corner of the room is realized.

弾性部材３２は、隅１２にのみ設けられている。このように比較的狭い領域に弾性部材３２を設けることにより、ヘッド部１０の隅１２を部屋の角に押し付ける際、当該領域に力を集中させることができる。これにより、部屋の角に対する弾性部材３２の密着度が高まるため、部屋の角における床の清掃が一層容易になる。 The elastic member 32 is provided only at the corner 12. By providing the elastic member 32 in such a relatively narrow area, when the corner 12 of the head unit 10 is pressed against the corner of the room, the force can be concentrated on the area. Thereby, since the adhesion degree of the elastic member 32 with respect to the corner | angular corner of a room increases, the cleaning of the floor in the corner | angular corner of a room becomes still easier.

弾性部材３２は、ヘッド部１０の底面から側面にかけて設けられている。これにより、ヘッド部１０の隅１２を部屋の角に押し付ける際、ヘッド部１０の底面及び側面の双方を通じて弾性部材３２に力を加えることができる。このことも、部屋の角に対する弾性部材３２の密着度の向上に資する。 The elastic member 32 is provided from the bottom surface to the side surface of the head unit 10. Thereby, when pressing the corner 12 of the head unit 10 against the corner of the room, a force can be applied to the elastic member 32 through both the bottom surface and the side surface of the head unit 10. This also contributes to the improvement of the degree of adhesion of the elastic member 32 to the corner of the room.

弾性部材３２におけるヘッド部１０の底面から突出した部分の長さｄ１（図２参照）が小さすぎると、弾性部材３２の変形量が不足し、当該弾性部材３２を部屋の角（特に床面）に密着させにくくなる。かかる観点から、長さｄ１は、２ｍｍ以上であることが好ましい。他方、長さｄ１が大きすぎると、部屋の角以外の部分において床を清掃する際に、弾性部材３２が邪魔になってしまう。かかる観点から、長さｄ１は、５ｍｍ以下であることが好ましい。 If the length d1 (see FIG. 2) of the portion of the elastic member 32 protruding from the bottom surface of the head portion 10 is too small, the amount of deformation of the elastic member 32 is insufficient, and the elastic member 32 is placed in the corner of the room (especially the floor surface). It becomes difficult to adhere to. From this viewpoint, the length d1 is preferably 2 mm or more. On the other hand, if the length d1 is too large, the elastic member 32 becomes an obstacle when the floor is cleaned in a portion other than the corner of the room. From such a viewpoint, the length d1 is preferably 5 mm or less.

弾性部材３２におけるヘッド部１０の側面から突出した部分の長さｄ２（図３参照）が小さすぎると、弾性部材３２の変形量が不足し、当該弾性部材３２を部屋の角（特に壁面）に密着させにくくなる。かかる観点から、長さｄ２は、３ｍｍ以上であることが好ましい。他方、長さｄ２が大きすぎると、ヘッド部１０から部屋の角までの水平距離が長くなるため、当該角においてヘッド部１０を通じて弾性部材３２に加わる下向きの力（床面を押す力）が弱くなってしまう。かかる観点から、長さｄ２は、１０ｍｍ以下であることが好ましい。 If the length d2 (see FIG. 3) of the portion of the elastic member 32 protruding from the side surface of the head portion 10 is too small, the amount of deformation of the elastic member 32 is insufficient, and the elastic member 32 is placed at the corner of the room (particularly the wall surface). It becomes difficult to adhere. From this viewpoint, the length d2 is preferably 3 mm or more. On the other hand, if the length d2 is too large, the horizontal distance from the head unit 10 to the corner of the room becomes long, and therefore the downward force (force that pushes the floor surface) applied to the elastic member 32 through the head unit 10 at that corner is weak. turn into. From such a viewpoint, the length d2 is preferably 10 mm or less.

弾性部材３２がヘッド部１０に対して着脱可能である場合、清掃用具１は、弾性部材３２が取り付けられた状態、及び弾性部材３２が取り外された状態の２通りの使い方が可能となるため、使用者にとっての利便性が高まる。例えば、部屋の角において床を清掃するときは弾性部材３２が取り付けられた状態で清掃用具１を使用し、部屋の角以外の部分において床を清掃するときは弾性部材３２が取り外された状態で清掃用具１を使用することが考えられる。 When the elastic member 32 is detachable from the head unit 10, the cleaning tool 1 can be used in two ways: the state in which the elastic member 32 is attached and the state in which the elastic member 32 is removed. Convenience for the user increases. For example, when cleaning the floor at the corner of the room, the cleaning tool 1 is used with the elastic member 32 attached, and when cleaning the floor at a portion other than the corner of the room, the elastic member 32 is removed. It is conceivable to use the cleaning tool 1.

ヘッド部１０の隅１４に弾性部材３４が取り付けられている。弾性部材３４は、ヘッド部１０の底面及び側面から突出している。このため、ヘッド部１０の隅１４を部屋の角に押し付けることにより、弾性部材３４を変形させて当該角に密着させることができる。これにより、部屋の角においても、床の清掃を充分に行うことができる。 Elastic members 34 are attached to the corners 14 of the head portion 10. The elastic member 34 protrudes from the bottom surface and the side surface of the head unit 10. For this reason, by pressing the corner 14 of the head unit 10 against the corner of the room, the elastic member 34 can be deformed and brought into close contact with the corner. Thereby, the floor can be sufficiently cleaned even at the corner of the room.

弾性部材３４は、隅１４にのみ設けられている。このように比較的狭い領域に弾性部材３４を設けることにより、ヘッド部１０の隅１４を部屋の角に押し付ける際、当該領域に力を集中させることができる。これにより、部屋の角に対する弾性部材３４の密着度が高まるため、部屋の角における床の清掃が一層容易になる。 The elastic member 34 is provided only at the corner 14. By providing the elastic member 34 in such a relatively narrow area, when the corner 14 of the head unit 10 is pressed against the corner of the room, the force can be concentrated on the area. Thereby, since the adhesion degree of the elastic member 34 with respect to the corner | angular corner of a room increases, cleaning of the floor in the corner | angular corner of a room becomes still easier.

弾性部材３４は、ヘッド部１０の底面から側面にかけて設けられている。これにより、ヘッド部１０の隅１４を部屋の角に押し付ける際、ヘッド部１０の底面及び側面の双方を通じて弾性部材３４に力を加えることができる。このことも、部屋の角に対する弾性部材３４の密着度の向上に資する。 The elastic member 34 is provided from the bottom surface to the side surface of the head unit 10. Thereby, when pressing the corner 14 of the head unit 10 against the corner of the room, a force can be applied to the elastic member 34 through both the bottom surface and the side surface of the head unit 10. This also contributes to an improvement in the degree of adhesion of the elastic member 34 to the corner of the room.

弾性部材３４におけるヘッド部１０の底面から突出した部分の長さが小さすぎると、弾性部材３４の変形量が不足し、当該弾性部材３４を部屋の角（特に床面）に密着させにくくなる。かかる観点から、上記長さは、２ｍｍ以上であることが好ましい。他方、上記長さが大きすぎると、部屋の角以外の部分において床を清掃する際に、弾性部材３４が邪魔になってしまう。かかる観点から、上記長さは、５ｍｍ以下であることが好ましい。 If the length of the portion of the elastic member 34 that protrudes from the bottom surface of the head portion 10 is too small, the amount of deformation of the elastic member 34 is insufficient, and it becomes difficult for the elastic member 34 to be in close contact with the corner of the room (particularly the floor surface). From this viewpoint, the length is preferably 2 mm or more. On the other hand, if the length is too large, the elastic member 34 gets in the way when the floor is cleaned in portions other than the corners of the room. From this viewpoint, the length is preferably 5 mm or less.

弾性部材３４におけるヘッド部１０の側面から突出した部分の長さが小さすぎると、弾性部材３４の変形量が不足し、当該弾性部材３４を部屋の角（特に壁面）に密着させにくくなる。かかる観点から、上記長さは、３ｍｍ以上であることが好ましい。他方、上記長さが大きすぎると、ヘッド部１０から部屋の角までの水平距離が長くなるため、当該角においてヘッド部１０を通じて弾性部材３４に加わる下向きの力（床面を押す力）が弱くなってしまう。かかる観点から、上記長さは、１０ｍｍ以下であることが好ましい。 If the length of the portion of the elastic member 34 that protrudes from the side surface of the head portion 10 is too small, the amount of deformation of the elastic member 34 is insufficient, and it becomes difficult for the elastic member 34 to adhere to the corner (particularly the wall surface) of the room. From this viewpoint, the length is preferably 3 mm or more. On the other hand, if the length is too large, the horizontal distance from the head unit 10 to the corner of the room becomes long, and thus the downward force (force that pushes the floor surface) applied to the elastic member 34 through the head unit 10 is weak at the corner. turn into. From this viewpoint, the length is preferably 10 mm or less.

弾性部材３４がヘッド部１０に対して着脱可能である場合、清掃用具１は、弾性部材３４が取り付けられた状態、及び弾性部材３４が取り外された状態の２通りの使い方が可能となるため、使用者にとっての利便性が高まる。例えば、部屋の角において床を清掃するときは弾性部材３４が取り付けられた状態で清掃用具１を使用し、部屋の角以外の部分において床を清掃するときは弾性部材３４が取り外された状態で清掃用具１を使用することが考えられる。 When the elastic member 34 is detachable from the head unit 10, the cleaning tool 1 can be used in two ways: a state in which the elastic member 34 is attached and a state in which the elastic member 34 is removed. Convenience for the user increases. For example, when cleaning the floor at the corner of a room, the cleaning tool 1 is used with the elastic member 34 attached. When cleaning the floor at a portion other than the corner of the room, the elastic member 34 is removed. It is conceivable to use the cleaning tool 1.

弾性部材３４が弾性部材３２と異なる弾性率を有する場合、使用者の筋力等に応じて、弾性部材３２と弾性部材３４とを使い分けることができる。例えば、筋力の低い使用者が清掃用具１を用いて部屋の角を清掃するときは弾性部材３２又は弾性部材３４のうち弾性率が低い（変形しやすい）方を使用し、筋力の高い使用者が清掃用具１を用いて部屋の角を清掃するときは弾性部材３２又は弾性部材３４のうち弾性率が高い（変形しにくい）方を使用することが考えられる。 When the elastic member 34 has an elastic modulus different from that of the elastic member 32, the elastic member 32 and the elastic member 34 can be used properly according to the user's muscle strength and the like. For example, when a user with low muscular strength uses the cleaning tool 1 to clean a corner of a room, the elastic member 32 or the elastic member 34 having a lower elastic modulus (easily deformed) is used. However, when cleaning the corners of the room using the cleaning tool 1, it is conceivable to use the elastic member 32 or the elastic member 34 which has a higher elastic modulus (not easily deformed).

ヘッド部１０の隅１６に弾性部材３６が取り付けられている。弾性部材３６は、ヘッド部１０の底面及び側面から突出している。このため、ヘッド部１０の隅１６を部屋の角に押し付けることにより、弾性部材３６を変形させて当該角に密着させることができる。これにより、部屋の角においても、床の清掃を充分に行うことができる。 Elastic members 36 are attached to the corners 16 of the head portion 10. The elastic member 36 protrudes from the bottom surface and the side surface of the head unit 10. For this reason, by pressing the corner 16 of the head unit 10 against the corner of the room, the elastic member 36 can be deformed and brought into close contact with the corner. Thereby, the floor can be sufficiently cleaned even at the corner of the room.

弾性部材３６は、隅１６にのみ設けられている。このように比較的狭い領域に弾性部材３６を設けることにより、ヘッド部１０の隅１６を部屋の角に押し付ける際、当該領域に力を集中させることができる。これにより、部屋の角に対する弾性部材３６の密着度が高まるため、部屋の角における床の清掃が一層容易になる。 The elastic member 36 is provided only at the corner 16. By providing the elastic member 36 in such a relatively narrow region, when the corner 16 of the head portion 10 is pressed against the corner of the room, the force can be concentrated on the region. As a result, the degree of adhesion of the elastic member 36 to the corner of the room is increased, so that the floor can be more easily cleaned at the corner of the room.

弾性部材３６は、ヘッド部１０の底面から側面にかけて設けられている。これにより、ヘッド部１０の隅１６を部屋の角に押し付ける際、ヘッド部１０の底面及び側面の双方を通じて弾性部材３６に力を加えることができる。このことも、部屋の角に対する弾性部材３６の密着度の向上に資する。 The elastic member 36 is provided from the bottom surface to the side surface of the head unit 10. Thereby, when pressing the corner 16 of the head unit 10 against the corner of the room, a force can be applied to the elastic member 36 through both the bottom surface and the side surface of the head unit 10. This also contributes to an improvement in the degree of adhesion of the elastic member 36 to the corner of the room.

弾性部材３６におけるヘッド部１０の底面から突出した部分の長さが小さすぎると、弾性部材３６の変形量が不足し、当該弾性部材３６を部屋の角（特に床面）に密着させにくくなる。かかる観点から、上記長さは、２ｍｍ以上であることが好ましい。他方、上記長さが大きすぎると、部屋の角以外の部分において床を清掃する際に、弾性部材３６が邪魔になってしまう。かかる観点から、上記長さは、５ｍｍ以下であることが好ましい。 If the length of the portion of the elastic member 36 that protrudes from the bottom surface of the head portion 10 is too small, the amount of deformation of the elastic member 36 is insufficient, and it becomes difficult for the elastic member 36 to adhere to the corner of the room (particularly the floor surface). From this viewpoint, the length is preferably 2 mm or more. On the other hand, if the length is too large, the elastic member 36 becomes an obstacle when the floor is cleaned at a portion other than the corner of the room. From this viewpoint, the length is preferably 5 mm or less.

On the other hand, if the length is too large, the horizontal distance from the head unit 10 to the corner of the room becomes long, and therefore the downward force (force that pushes the floor surface) applied to the elastic member 36 through the head unit 10 at the corner is weak. turn into. From this viewpoint, the length is preferably 10 mm or less.

It is conceivable to use the cleaning tool 1.

ヘッド部１０の隅１８に弾性部材３８が取り付けられている。弾性部材３８は、ヘッド部１０の底面及び側面から突出している。このため、ヘッド部１０の隅１８を部屋の角に押し付けることにより、弾性部材３８を変形させて当該角に密着させることができる。これにより、部屋の角においても、床の清掃を充分に行うことができる。 Elastic members 38 are attached to the corners 18 of the head portion 10. The elastic member 38 protrudes from the bottom surface and the side surface of the head unit 10. For this reason, by pressing the corner 18 of the head portion 10 against the corner of the room, the elastic member 38 can be deformed and brought into close contact with the corner. Thereby, the floor can be sufficiently cleaned even at the corner of the room.

By providing the elastic member 38 in such a relatively narrow region, when the corner 18 of the head unit 10 is pressed against the corner of the room, the force can be concentrated on the region. Thereby, since the adhesion degree of the elastic member 38 with respect to the corner of the room is increased, the floor can be more easily cleaned at the corner of the room.
