Abstract

PURPOSE: To enable to make a cleaner always have dampness, control liquid flow, and perform wet wiping work on the surface to be cleaned or wiped. CONSTITUTION: A case body 1 supports a support body 4 such as cotton, a sponge pad, etc., against a sheet of a wet thin board material for wiping. The sheet 5 is disposable to be simply exchanged when it is soiled, and is supported by end clips 6 at each end of the case body 1 and securely holds the support body 4 so as to be tightly overlapped. The sheet 5 is mounted after impregnating liquid into the material of the support body 4 which acts as a liquid storage to uniformly supply the liquid to the sheet 5. The sheet 5 makes a thin board comprising an inside layer 7 and an outside layer 8 and has suitable porosity with a feature for wet wiping motion. Both layers 7, 8 must supply dampness to make the liquid flow from the liquid storage support body 4 through the sheet 5 toward the outside sheet surface 5 as shown by arrow marks 9.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to cleaning instruments, and more particularly to instruments used for wet cleaning of surfaces.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Paper wiping typically involves paper or similar materials used to clean surfaces that can be wiped clean without leaving stains. Disposable cleaning systems include paper-like materials attached to a float-like or similar holder and obtained by tearing or cutting rolls used to collect dust and sand from the floor. It is known that the material is good. And when it becomes soiled, the soiled material is removed and replaced with a new one.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention aims to take advantage of the use of paper and similar materials in more efficient processing, and in particular relates to a cleaning device for surfaces to be wiped or cleaned.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention provides a cleaning tool comprising a casing or a holder having or supporting a support for a disposable sheet of material such as paper, in which the support acts to store liquid. The disposable sheet remains moist during use, the material of the sheet is porous, and the outer contact surface is suitable for cleaning or wiping the surface to be cleaned. It is characterized by sufficient even flow of liquid from the reservoir material to the contact surface to provide a moist wiping action on the surface to be cleaned or wiped.

In addition, the disposable sheet of the present invention can more effectively remove dirt and dust from walls and windows than the currently used paper wipes or disposable sheets. It has a moist surface that removes dirt from surfaces such as

Preferably, the instrument holder is a handle in use and has a handle attachment member to which either a short handle for wiping windows or a long handle for cleaning floors can be attached without staining windows (in each case The support supporting the disposable damp wipe sheet is conveniently in an elongated form with the disposable sheet fastened securely using an end clip at any position on the holder. Used in a wet or damp mopping system using a mop pad with a reservoir material for retaining liquid by a sheet, and a similar holder can be used as a wet or damp mopping system, and can also be used as a wet or damp mopping system. Wipe sheets are attached for non-staining wiping of surfaces to be mopped.Similar end clips are attached to mop pads and/or
Or used to tighten wet wipes. The mop pad holder is alternatively used for wet mopping, and the holder is attached using a cotton or cellular sponge pad with a support reservoir material.

An essential feature of a disposable wet wipe material is that it remains permanently moist without allowing free flow of liquid from the reservoir material, and furthermore has a blotting process as far as the flow to the surface to be cleaned is concerned. It must have a structure that allows moisture to flow from the outer surface for cleaning or wiping, and when wet it must maintain sufficient tension so that it does not pull apart during use.

The wet wipe material is in the form of a laminate with an outer layer chosen primarily for its liquid flow and surface cleaning properties and an inner layer chosen primarily for its tensile strength when wet. And the outer layer has the property of being able to move smoothly on the cleaning surface with minimal traction (force) when wet;
It has the property of controlling the flow of liquid to the outer layer to provide more absorption and even wetting than wetting the surface to be cleaned.

(Example) Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a longitudinal side view of one embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating the laminated shape of disposable sheets of wet wiping material used in the device of this example.

Each figure has a length (
A hand-held device is shown using a narrow housing 1 attached to a handle 3 shown extended. The housing 1 supports a support 4, such as a cotton or sponge pad, against a sheet 5 of laminated wet wiping material. The sheet 5 is disposable, easily replaced when soiled, and is held at each end of the housing 1 by end clips 6 to hold the support 4 in tight overlapping fashion.

The sheet 5 is attached after impregnating the material of the support 4 with a liquid, and acts as a reservoir so that the liquid is constantly and evenly supplied to the sheet 5 (in particular, on surfaces such as windows or floors to be cleaned). This is because the sheet 5 is used for "wet wiping" or "wet cleaning" work because the material of the sheet 5 is such that the outer contact surface of the sheet 5 is wet. The effect is due to the controlled flow of liquid to keep the condition more moist.
In other words, it is possible to wipe the mop in a wetter state than when mopping.

The liquid on the impregnated support 4 is fresh water, for example a cleaning solution with some detergent in the required cleaning operation. The housing 1 is preferably a collapsible mop pad holder used to hold a mop pad for wet or wet mopping of surfaces.

And using the pad of the sheet 5 and the support 4, which are separated from the ordinary pot pad, the device can be used to wet and wipe after mopping the surface, and the device has two functions. It can be installed because it is.

Similarly, since the mop pad is provided with a reservoir support for the sheet 5, the sheet 5 can be wrapped around the actual mop pad after being impregnated with liquid.

As shown in FIG. 2, the sheet 5 has a thin plate shape consisting of an inner layer 7 and an outer layer 8. Each of these layers may be a paper or paper-like material, or porous with suitable characteristics for the wet wiping action of the present invention. Both layers 7, 8 must be moistened in order to flow from the reservoir support 4 through the sheet 5 towards the surface 5a of the outer sheet as indicated by arrow 9. The arrangement of the inner layer 7 is such that it provides the necessary tensile strength to the sheet 5 when wet. This is because layer 7 does not separate when the surface to be cleaned is wiped.

The outer layer 8 comprising the outer wiping or cleaning surface 5a has a primarily selected structure. This is because when wet it can move smoothly over the surface to be wiped or cleaned with minimal traction. The layers 7.8 have a porous structure and/or the layers 7.8 have a porous structure and are transparent to the outer surface 5a. A controlled flow of liquid can be obtained, and the surface remains sufficiently and evenly moistened without becoming overly wet.

In particular, if you lift a surface that has been cleaned or wiped, not even a drop will come off.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, according to the present invention, it is possible to maintain moisture at all times and control the flow of liquid, and to perform wiping work on a wet surface to be cleaned or wiped with a sufficiently uniform flow of liquid. Can be provided.
