Description

The present invention relates to a cleaning tool for cleaning a floor surface, a wall surface, an object surface, a bath, a toilet, etc., and more particularly to a cleaning tool having an extremely lightweight handle that does not hurt even if it hits a person.

Conventionally, handle mops, dusters, toilet brushes, bathtub sponges, etc. have been widely used as cleaning tools for homes and workplaces. These cleaning tools are generally composed of a wiping body that directly touches the floor surface or the like and a handle that is connected to the wiping body. Then, the weight of the entire cleaning tool has been reduced so that even elderly people and children can clean it. In particular, in order to reduce the weight, it is important to reduce the weight of the handle and the wiping body.

Regarding the weight reduction of the handle, FIG. 9 of the present application shows a lightweight mop handle disclosed in Utility Model Registration No. 3077488 (Patent Document 1). The summary states that the challenge is to provide a mop handle that is sufficiently lightweight with a simple structure, which allows for light operation.
From the viewpoint of the lightweight structure, the mop handle 101 includes a frame 103 on which the wiping material 102 is mounted, and an operation pole 104 and a grip 141 rotatably connected to the frame 103. The frame 103 is composed of frame pieces 111 and 112 in which a horizontally long ring-shaped peripheral frame 110 formed of a metal linear member is divided into two at the center thereof, and is connected to each other by a strip plate 113. A joint member 130 including a blanket 131, pole rotation shafts 132 and 134, and connecting metal fittings 133 and 135 is attached to the strip-shaped plate 113, and is connected to the pole 104. In particular, the pole 104 is made of an aluminum pipe, so that the weight is reduced.

Regarding the weight reduction of the wiper, FIG. 10 of the present application shows a shape-changeable mop disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-290769 (Patent Document 2). The wiping body is composed of a head and a wiping piece planted therein, and FIG. 10 shows a shape-changeable head.
The mop 201F has a mop head 204F at its tip, and a handle 205 is connected to a substrate 230 fixed to the center of the upper surface of the mop head 204F by a fastening means 233. Air is injected by the pump means 231 through the through hole 232 in the center of the upper surface of the mop head 204F, and the mop head 204F formed of rubber or the like expands. FIG. 10 shows a contracted mop head 204F before injecting air and a mop head 204F expanded by injecting air. That is, in Patent Document 2, since the mop head 204F constituting the wiping body is formed of an air-expandable rubber material, it is possible to achieve much lighter weight than the conventional metal mop head 204F.

In Patent Document 2, an air-expandable rubber material mop head 204F is used, but in the rubber material, the mop head 204F expands like a balloon when it expands as compared with when it contracts. Therefore, although it is a field other than cleaning, a material that does not expand has been developed.

Patent Document 3 is JP-A-7-304112, which discloses a method for producing a tubular laminate. In the summary and FIG. 1, the tubular core material 12 is centered, the inner layer heat-sealing film 11 formed in a tubular shape on the inner side thereof, and the outer layer heat-sealing film 11 formed in a tubular shape on the outer side thereof. A tubular laminated body is provided by preparing a layered body 1 on which the sex film 13 is arranged and covering the outer periphery of the layered body 1 with an expansion restricting material 2. Even if the layered body 1 composed of the heat-sealing film 11 for the inner layer, the tubular core material 12, and the outer layer heat-sealing film 13 has the property of expanding due to heating, it must be covered with the expansion regulating material 2. As a result, the laminate itself retains a constant shape and size without expanding. Therefore, this tubular laminated body can be applied to the bag body of the present invention.

Further, Patent Document 4 is Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-91056, which discloses an airbag for a vehicle. The scope of the utility model registration claim is formed from a sheet material in which one side of a synthetic fiber long fiber woven fabric is coated with rubber or synthetic resin, and non-woven fabric is spot-bonded or scattered on the entire other side. An air bag for a vehicle having a non-woven fabric surface as a face contact surface is described. Further, FIG. 2 shows a cross-sectional view of a sheet material in which rubber 3, long fiber woven fabric 2, and non-woven fabric 4 are laminated. Therefore, it is possible to apply the non-stretchable sheet material in which rubber and woven fabric are laminated to the present invention.

As described above, the weight reduction of the handle is shown as a lightweight mop handle in Patent Document 1. However, only the weight of the pole 104, which is the handle, is reduced by forming the pole 104 with an aluminum pipe, and no other proposal is disclosed. In other words, the handle is traditionally made of iron pipe, but it is just replaced with aluminum pipe. Moreover, it is unlikely that the weight can be reduced so much by replacing the iron pipe with an aluminum pipe.

Further, regarding the weight reduction of the head, Patent Document 2 discloses a rubber mop head 204F capable of injecting air. It is true that if the mop head 204F is made of rubber, which is a stretchable material, and the rubber head is expanded by injecting air, it will be considerably lighter. However, in Patent Document 2, no measure for weight reduction is given for the handle, and there is no measure other than using an iron pipe or an aluminum pipe as in the conventional case.

In the air injection type handle cleaning tool according to the present invention, the focus is on forming the handle with a hollow longitudinal bag body, injecting air into the bag body to inflate it to a substantially tense state, and using it as a handle of the cleaning tool. It was done. We have completed the invention that can contribute to weight reduction by breaking the concept of thin and strong pipes such as iron pipes and aluminum pipes and forming the handle itself with a hollow longitudinal bag body, which led to the present application.

It is possible to provide an air injection type handle cleaning tool, which comprises a hollow longitudinal bag body and to which an air valve for injecting and exhausting air is attached to the bag body.
In other words, the bag body corresponds to a swim bladder for swimming. That is, the bag body expands until it becomes substantially tense when air is injected through the air valve, has a hollow portion inside, retains the shape of the handle, and shrinks when air is exhausted. An air-injection type handle cleaning tool that has and uses this bag body as a handle is provided. Therefore, it is extremely lightweight, and this handle does not cause injury even if it hits a person, and it does not damage an object even if it hits an object. Further, since the bag body is expanded to a substantially tense state, if the bag body is formed of a tough material, the handle shape can be strongly held, and it can be sufficiently effective as a handle of a cleaning tool.

If elastic rubber or synthetic resin is used as the material of the bag body, it will expand to a considerable extent by injecting air like a rubber balloon, but from the viewpoint of maintaining the shape of the handle, if it is expanded to a nearly tense state. Good. In addition, some materials such as rubber do not expand, and when they expand to a substantially tense state by injecting air, they do not expand any further, and at that stage, they can exhibit shape retention as a handle.

There is an advantage that the handle operation becomes extremely easy and the cleaning work becomes extremely easy.
Further, if the outer wall and the inner wall of the double pipe portion are partially joined or connected to each other, the double pipe portion can maintain its shape even if the bag body is inflated by air, and the double pipe portion moves backward. It does not swell and disappear.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, it is possible to provide an air-injection type handle cleaning tool in which a diameter-expanded space portion is formed at the bottom of the open hollow portion and the diameter-expanded space portion serves as a clasp groove on which a finger is hooked.
The double pipe part is a little thick, and the open hollow part in it is shaped like an elongated tunnel. At the bottom of the open hollow portion, a diameter-expanded space portion is formed in which the tunnel expands in diameter and becomes larger. Then, if the fingers are inserted into the open hollow portion and the fingers are further hooked on the enlarged diameter space portion to devise the force adjustment, the handle operation by the fingers becomes very easy and the fine handle operation becomes possible. is there.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the tip side bag body is provided at the tip of the handle of the bag body via the bag body and the partition wall, and air is injected and exhausted into the tip side bag body in the tip side bag body. The tip side air valve is attached, and when air is injected through the tip side air valve, the tip side bag expands until it becomes substantially tense, and has a tip side hollow portion inside to form a protruding shape. An inflatable handle cleaner can be provided that has the property of holding and shrinking when air is exhausted.
In other words, the handle of this embodiment has a form in which the bag body and the tip side bag body are connected in series via a partition wall, and each is provided with an air valve so that air can be injected and exhausted independently. It has a structure. If the independent operation becomes possible in this way, the handle can be lengthened and the delicate attachment / detachment operation with the wiping body becomes possible.
For example, if both the bag body and the tip side bag body are withered, it can be stored for a long time without taking up space, and if only the tip side bag body is withered while the bag body is inflated, only the tip side bag body is withered. Can be attached to the wiping body, which facilitates the attachment operation. Also, if the bag body is withered and only the tip side bag body is inflated, the handle can be shortened, which makes it easier to clean the surface of small items, but in normal cleaning work, both the bag body and the tip side bag body are inflated. Let me use it.
Further, if the enlarged space peripheral wall surrounding the enlarged space portion and the partition wall are connected with a non-stretchable sheet or thread, the enlarged space peripheral wall is strongly pulled to the partition wall even if the bag body is expanded by air. Therefore, the expanded space portion and the double pipe portion can retain their morphology inside the bag body. That is, the enlarged diameter space portion and the double pipe portion do not bulge backward and disappear when the air expands. Other known means can be freely used, such as the same effect even if the peripheral wall of the enlarged space and the wall surface of the bag body adjacent thereto are partially joined at a plurality of points.

According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, the tip side bag body is installed in the bag portion of the wiping body in a deflated state, and the tip side bag body is expanded in the interior state to use the wiping body as a mop. An inflatable handle cleaner can be provided to keep it ready.
When attaching the wiping body to the handle, if only the tip side bag body with a small volume is exhausted through the air valve and withered, and only the withered tip side bag body is installed in the wiping body and air is injected, the handle Can function as. At this time, since it is not necessary to exhaust the long bag body to wither it, there is an advantage that the mounting operation becomes easy. Of course, the long bag body may be contracted, and there is an advantage that the bag body can be attached to and detached from the wiping body only by contracting / expanding the tip side bag body regardless of the expansion / contraction of the bag body.

An air injection type handle cleaning that has a bottomed tubular shape having a cavity from the opening to the bottom inside, the tip of the handle is inserted into the cavity from the opening, and the mounting surface is joined to the bottom of the cavity. Can provide ingredients.
In this embodiment, there are two types of handles, one is a bag body and the other is a case where the tip side bag body is connected in series with the bag body. In the former form, the tip of the handle is the tip of the bag body and the mounting surface is provided at the tip, and in the latter form, the tip of the handle is the tip side bag body and the mounting surface is formed at the tip. On the other hand, a sponge body having a bottomed tubular cavity is used as the wiping body. Then, the tip of the handle is inserted into the cavity of the sponge body, and the mounting surface is joined to the bottom of the cavity to complete an air injection type handle cleaning tool in which the handle and the wiping body are integrated. Since the wiping body is a sponge body, it can be used as a cleaning tool for bathtubs and a cleaning tool for toilets. As described above, in the present invention, the handle is extremely lightweight, and the sponge-type cleaning tool using this handle can be further reduced in weight, so that it is possible to provide a cleaning tool that is easy to handle even for the elderly and children.

According to the seventh aspect of the present invention, a mounting surface is formed at the tip of the bag body or the tip side bag body, the wiping body is composed of a brush body, and the brush body has an opening at the rear end surface. It is a bottomed cylinder with a cavity from the opening to the bottom inside, and the outer peripheral surface of the brush body is molded into a brush projecting piece, and the tip of the handle is inserted into the cavity from the opening to handle the handle. An inflatable handle cleaner can be provided in which the mounting surface at the tip is joined to the bottom of the cavity.
Also in this embodiment, there are two types of handles, one is a bag body and the other is a case where the tip side bag body is connected in series with the bag body. Similar to the above, in the former form, the handle tip portion is a bag body tip portion and a mounting surface is provided at the tip end portion, and in the latter form, the handle tip portion is a tip side bag body and a mounting surface is formed at the tip end portion. On the other hand, as the wiping body, a brush body having a bottomed tubular cavity is used, and a large number of brush protrusions are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the brush body. Then, the tip of the handle is inserted into the cavity of the brush body, and the mounting surface is joined to the bottom of the cavity to complete an air injection type handle cleaner in which the handle and the wiping body are integrated. Since the wiping body is a brush body and the brush protrusions can be changed into vellus hair and coarse hair, it can be used as a cleaning tool for bathtubs and cleaning tools for toilets. Similarly, in the present invention, the handle is extremely lightweight, and the brush-type cleaning tool using this handle can be further reduced in weight, so that it is possible to provide a cleaning tool that is easy to handle even for the elderly and children.

According to the eighth aspect of the present invention, as the joining means, an air injection type handle cleaning tool for joining the mounting surface and the bottom portion with a hook-and-loop fastener or an adhesive is provided. In the above-mentioned sponge cleaning tool or brush cleaning tool, there are various types of joints between the mounting surface and the bottom of the cavity, the mounting surface includes a flat surface and an annular surface, and the bottom is not only the bottom flat surface but also the annular surface surrounding the bottom. It goes without saying that it includes the inner surface. Adhesives or hook-and-loop fasteners can be used as the joining method. Adhesion has a strong bonding force and the handle and the wiper cannot be easily separated, but the hook-and-loop fastener has the advantage that it can be separated and can be fastened as many times as necessary.

According to the ninth aspect of the present invention, a hollow winding rod having a spiral groove formed on the outer periphery thereof is arranged, a charge wiping thread is wound around the spiral groove, and a connecting receiving portion is provided at the base of the hollow winding rod. It is formed to form the wiping body, and on the other hand, a connecting portion is formed at the tip of the bag body or the tip side bag body, and the connecting portion and the connecting receiving portion are connected to each other to be used as a charged cleaning tool. An inflatable handle cleaner is provided.
The charged cleaning tool of this embodiment means a charged duster, and there are two types of charged dusters, an electrostatic duster and an electrette duster, and this embodiment targets both of them. Electrostatic duster is a duster that is attached with a resin piece or resin thread that is charged with static electricity due to friction with air or contact with the surface to be cleaned. Generally, dust is charged, so it is cleaned with an electrostatic duster. When the surface is wiped, dust is attracted by electrostatic force. Electlet duster is a resin film that is irradiated with an electron beam or the like to immobilize electricity on the resin film. Although it is different from static electricity, the principle of electrically adsorbing dust from the surface to be cleaned is electrostatic. It is the same as duster. Both use a charged or chargeable resin wiping thread. This thread is called a charge-wiping thread.

The wiping body is formed by winding a charged wiping thread around a spiral groove formed on the outer peripheral surface of the hollow winding rod. Further, as described above, there are two types of handles, one is a bag body and the other is a case where the tip side bag body is connected in series with the bag body. A connecting receiving portion is formed at the base of the hollow winding rod which is a wiping body, and a connecting portion is formed at the tip of the bag body or the tip side bag body. A charged cleaning tool can be configured by connecting the connecting portion to the connecting receiving portion, and a known concatenation means can be widely adopted for the connecting structure. Therefore, since the handle is composed of a bag body, it is possible to provide an extremely lightweight charged cleaning tool, and it is possible to provide a charged cleaning tool that is easy to handle even for the elderly and children.

According to the tenth aspect of the present invention, it is possible to provide an air injection type handle cleaning tool in which the bag body and the tip side bag body are made of an expandable rubber material or a synthetic resin material.
The bag body of this embodiment is formed of a stretchable rubber material or a synthetic resin material, and is completely contracted in a deflated state, but expands and expands like a balloon as air is injected. To do. In this embodiment, the bag body is formed of the expandable rubber material or synthetic resin material in this way.

According to the eleventh aspect of the present invention, the bag body and the tip side bag body are laminated by laminating a stretch layer made of a stretchable rubber material or a synthetic resin material and a stretch control layer that regulates the stretch of the stretch layer. It is possible to provide an inflatable handle cleaner which is formed of a material and inflates by injecting air until it becomes substantially tense.
In this embodiment, the bag body is formed by a laminated material in which a stretch layer and a stretch control layer are laminated. The characteristic of this laminate material is that when the air is exhausted, the tension state disappears and the bag body becomes a deflated state, when air is injected, the bag body gradually expands, and when the bag body becomes a constant substantially tension state, it expands. Is to stop. This is in contrast to stretchable rubber, which continues to expand as much as possible. For example, the floating ring of a sea bath is withered in the exhaust state, and when air is injected, it expands to a certain tension state, and further air injection becomes impossible. This property is claimed in this form. The substantially tense state means that there is a range of tense states, and includes a desired tense state.

FIG. 10 is a plan view and a cross-sectional view of a shape-changeable mop described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-290769 (Patent Document 2).

The air injection type handle cleaning tool 1 according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, the same parts are designated by the same reference numerals, and unless the reference numerals are given once in a limited drawing, the description of the same reference numerals is omitted in other drawings.
FIG. 1 is an exploded cross-sectional view of a handle mop inflated by injecting air as a first embodiment of the air injection type handle cleaning tool 1 according to the present invention.
The air-injection type handle cleaning tool 1 used as a handle mop is divided into a handle 20 and a wiping body 10, and the wiping body 10 is planted with a wiping piece 11 that wraps the whole, and a hollow bag is formed inside the wiping piece 11. The part 12 is formed. Inside the entrance of the bag portion 12, the middle corner portion 13 of the bag portion is formed in an annular shape.

The handle 20 is formed of an inflatable airtight bag body 21, and when air is injected into the inside by a pump via an air valve 22, the bag body 21 is in a substantially tense state as shown in the figure from a deflated state. Inflates to. At the rear end portion 24 of the handle 20 of the handle 20, the double pipe portion 25 is formed in an annular shape, and an open hollow portion 26 is formed inside the double pipe portion 25. An enlarged diameter space portion 27 is formed at the bottom of the open hollow portion 26, and the handhold groove 28 is for hooking a finger when the hand is inserted into the open hollow portion 26 to facilitate manual operation. The enlarged diameter space portion 27 is surrounded by the enlarged diameter space peripheral wall 27a.

Further, at the tip of the bag body 21, a tip side bag body 31 is continuously provided via a partition wall 29, and a tip side bag is used independently of the bag body 21 by using a tip side air valve 32. Only the body 31 can be inflated or withered. Moreover, the tip-side hollow portion 33 is formed, and the tip-side outer angle portion 34 is formed in a stepped shape.
In FIG. 1, air is injected into both the bag body 21 and the tip side bag body 31 to expand to a substantially tense state, and the handle 20 is completed so as to support the wiping body 10. When the tip side bag body 31 is installed in the bag portion 12 of the wiping body 10, the tip side outer corner portion 34 engages with the bag portion middle corner portion 13, and the wiping body 10 is strongly connected to the handle 20 to form a handle mop. Is completed as.
The enlarged diameter space peripheral wall 27a and the partition wall 29 are connected to each other by a connecting piece 30 made of a non-stretchable sheet, a non-stretchable thread, or the like. When the bag body 21 is air-expanded, the expansion space portion 27 is prevented from expanding upward due to internal pressure by the attractive force of the connecting piece 30, and the shape of the diameter expansion space portion 27 is stabilized in the bag body 21. And hold it. Of course, the above-mentioned form can be maintained even if the enlarged-diameter space peripheral wall 27a is partially joined to the peripheral wall of the adjacent bag body 21 by fusion or adhesion at a plurality of places, and the outer wall and inner wall of the double pipe 25 are partially joined. If the joints are joined by fusion or adhesion at a plurality of places, the strength is high and the shape of the open hollow portion 26 can be maintained. Other known form-retaining means can also be used.

When elastic rubber or synthetic resin is used as the material of the bag body 21 and the tip side bag body 31, the more air is injected like a balloon, the more the internal pressure can be increased and the bag can be expanded. However, when the handle 20 expands to a certain size, the handle 20 can hold a predetermined shape, and the expansion may be stopped at that stage.
Further, if the material is formed of a laminate material obtained by laminating a stretch layer made of a stretchable rubber material or a synthetic resin material and a stretch control layer that regulates the stretch of the stretch layer, the bag body and the tip side bag body are air. It expands until it becomes substantially tense by injection, and the expansion automatically stops, and it can be determined that the handle has reached the completed state in this stopped state.

On the other hand, (2B) is a state diagram in which the bag body 21 is inflated and the tip side bag body 31 is deflated, and the wiping body 10 is attached to the tip side bag body 31.
That is, starting from the storage state of (2A), first, as in (2B), air is injected only into the bag body 21 to inflate it, and the tip side bag body 31 is left withered.

FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a handle mop in which the front end side bag 31 is in a deflated state and an inflated state adjacent to each other.
When the withered tip side bag body 31 is installed in the bag portion 12 of the wiping body 10 from the state of (2B), the state shifts to the state of (3A). When air is filled into the tip side hollow portion 33 by a pump via the tip side air valve 32 in this state (3A), the state (3B) appears. When the front end side bag 31 is expanded to about one degree, the front end side bag 31 is filled in the bag portion 12. This state (3B) is the completed state as a handle mop. At this time, the tip side outer corner portion 34 engages with the bag portion middle corner portion 13, and the handle 20 cannot be easily detached from the wiping body 10.

FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view in which both the bag body 21 and the tip-side bag body 31 are inflated and grasped by the hand 3 and the state in which the hand 3 is inserted are held by the hand 3 of the adjacent handle mop. ..
