Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a dishwashing tool, particularly to a dishwashing tool suitable for washing deep-shaped dishes such as cups.

[Conventional technology]

A typical example of dishwashing utensils is a scrubbing brush.

Normal scrubbing brushes are oval or square in shape, but these are not necessarily suitable for cleaning deep-shaped tableware such as cups. For this reason, elongated ones or ones with handles attached to them have been devised for use in deep-shaped tableware.

[Invention or problem to be solved]

However, in all of these conventional dishwashing tools, the inside and outside of deep-shaped dishes are washed separately, and there is considerable waste in the washing operation. Furthermore, it is inconvenient that the detergent stored in a separate container must be supplied each time.

In view of the current state of conventional dishwashing tools, the present invention has developed a dishwashing tool that can reliably clean the inside and outside of deep dishes at the same time and with a simple operation, and which does not require the need to supply detergent each time. This is what we are trying to provide.

[Means to solve the problem]

Specifically, the cleaning section includes a cleaning section in which a holding body holds a cleaning body having a supporting slit in which a pair of clamping surfaces face each other, and a detergent that is connected to this cleaning section via a connecting section and can freely supply detergent to the cleaning section. To provide a dishwasher equipped with a storage part.

[For production]

In this dishwashing tool, for example, taking a cup, the sidewall of the cup is sandwiched between the supporting slits, and the tip of the cleaning body is pressed against the inner bottom of the cup, and in this state, the dishwashing tool By rotating itself or rotating the cup, the entire interior and exterior of the cup can be cleaned at the same time.

In other words, the tip of the cleaning body presses against the inner bottom of the cup, and the supporting force exerted by the holder presses the clamping surface of the cleaning body into and out of the side wall of the cup with moderate pressure, allowing the dishwasher to be washed easily. By simply rotating the tool itself or rotating the cup, the inside and outside of the cup can be washed simultaneously and reliably.

In addition, this dishwasher is equipped with a detergent storage section in the washing section that allows you to freely supply detergent, so you can easily supply detergent from the detergent storage section as needed, and you can always use the appropriate amount of detergent. This not only allows for better cleaning, but also eliminates the hassle of supplying detergent from a separate container.

〔Example〕

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

This dishwasher 1 includes a washing section 2, a connecting section 3, and a detergent storage section 4.

The cleaning section 2 is made up of a slender cylindrical holder 5 with a slender cleaning body 6 adhered to the inside thereof.The holder 5 is made of hard plastic, and the cleaning body 6 is made of synthetic resin. Made of resin-based non-woven fabric.

The cleaning body 6 is provided with a supporting slit 8 formed with a pair of clamping surfaces 7a and 7b facing each other,
As shown in FIG. 3, when the side wall Cw of the cup C is held between the supporting slits 8, the cleaning body is biased by the elasticity of the hard plastic holder 5 to the inside and outside of the side wall Cw of the cup C. Both clamping surfaces 7a and 7b of 6 are pressed together with appropriate pressure. Note that the holding surfaces 7a and 7b forming the supporting slit 8 may be in contact with each other, or may be separated with an appropriate gap.

Further, as seen in FIGS. 2 and 3, one of the clamping surfaces 7a has a convex arc shape, and the other clamping surface 7b has a concave shape complementary to this convex arc shape. It has an arc shape, and the supporting slit 1-8 is curved in an arc shape.

Curving the holding slit 8 into an arc shape in this manner has the advantage that cleaning performance is further improved and rotational resistance during a cleaning operation to be described later is reduced.

Further, the base end of the holder 5, that is, the base end of the cleaning section 2, is spherical, and holes 9 are provided in the base end symmetrically. The bird's beak or the rabbit's ear, and the bulbous proximal end to the head, and the hole 9.
The idea was to create an image of a bird or a rabbit as a whole, giving the impression of a fancy goods, so to speak.

In this example, the cleaning body 6 is formed by abutting the two cleaning body pieces 6t, 6t and forming the supporting slit 8 between them, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the cleaning body 6 may be formed in one piece. It is also possible to shape the cleaning body by cutting slits into it.

The detergent storage section 4 is a detergent container made of synthetic resin, and when it is pressurized and deformed from the surroundings, a built-in valve body operates, and the liquid detergent stored therein is transferred to the washing section via the connection section 3. It has a structure such that it is evenly supplied to the cleaning body 6 of No. 2.

Incidentally, as the valve body, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 57-43801
It is preferable to use what is known as the number. In other words, the valve body of Utility Model Publication No. 57-43801 has a structure that prevents the internal liquid from leaking no matter what position the container is in unless pressure is applied, so the detergent spout always faces downward. This is because it is most suitable for the detergent storage section 4 in the present dishwashing tool 1, which is designed as follows.

The connecting portion 3 is provided on the proximal end side of the cleaning portion 2, and is for detachably connecting the detergent storage portion 4 to the cleaning portion 2.
The outer circumference is knurled.

Hereinafter, the usage condition of this dishwashing tool 1 will be explained.

Taking a cup C as an example, this dishwashing tool 1 is configured so that the side wall Cw of the cup C is sandwiched between the clamping slits 8 and the tip of the cleaning body 6 is pressed against the inner bottom of the cup C. arrow itself along the side wall CW of
It is used by rotating (revolution) as shown in the figure, or by rotating the cup C. At this time, the detergent storage section 4 is pressed to appropriately supply the detergent to the cleaning body 6.

Then, the cleaning body 6 presses its tip against the inner bottom of the cup C and uses the clamping force applied by the holder 5 to apply moderate pressure to both clamping surfaces 7a and 7b to clean the side wall Cw of the cup C.
While pressing against the inside and outside of the cup C, the inside and outside of the inner bottom and side wall Cw of the cup C are rubbed almost uniformly, and cleaning of these parts is completed.

This operation leaves the outer bottom of the cup C unwashed, but this can be easily washed by rubbing it with the tip of the cleaning body 6.

In other words, with this dishwashing tool 1, substantially all of the inside and outside of the cup C can be washed simultaneously and reliably by simply rotating the dishwasher itself or rotating the cup C.

Here, the fact that reliable cleaning can be performed with just such a simple operation is due to the supporting structure of the supporting slit 8, which allows the cleaning body 6 with a certain thickness or more to clean the cleaning surface of the cup C with an appropriate pressure. It seems that the fact that it hits the entire area evenly contributes greatly.

In addition, with this dishwashing utensil l, you can supply detergent as needed and as much as you need just by pressing the detergent storage part 4, so you can always use the appropriate amount of detergent for better cleaning, and you can also use detergent from a separate container. This will also save you the trouble of supplying it.

Here, how to rotate (revolution) the dishwashing tool 1 as described above depends on the habits and preferences of the user.
For example, you can easily make this rotation (revolution) by simply grasping the connection part 3 marked with a row of red marks with your fingers and applying a force that causes the dishwashing tool 1 itself to "rotate" along its center line. I can make it happen. Rotating (revolving) in this manner eliminates wasted movement, which is particularly advantageous when washing a large number of cups.

Further, regarding such a cleaning mechanism, it is considered that the fact that a synthetic resin nonwoven fabric is used for the cleaning body 6 is also more advantageous. In other words, it goes without saying that the synthetic resin nonwoven fabric itself has excellent cleaning performance, but it is also due to the moderate hardness and elasticity of the synthetic resin nonwoven fabric that the supporting slit 8 holds the side wall Cw of the cup C. It is thought that it matches well with the cleaning mechanism of cleaning, and provides superior cleaning performance.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the dishwasher according to the present invention has the following features:
A cleaning section in which a cleaning body having a supporting slit in which a pair of clamping surfaces face each other is held by a holder, and a detergent storage section connected to the cleaning section via a connecting section and capable of freely supplying detergent to the cleaning section. Then, the side wall of the target tableware is sandwiched between the supporting slits, and the tip of the cleaning body is pressed against the inner bottom of the cup, and in this state, it is rotated along the side wall of the cup, or the target tableware is rotated. With this simple operation, the inside and outside of the target tableware can be cleaned simultaneously and reliably, so it has the excellent effect of cleaning deep-sized tableware reliably and quickly with a simple operation.

In addition, this dishwashing tool allows you to easily supply detergent from the detergent storage compartment, which allows for better cleaning by always using the appropriate amount of detergent, and also eliminates the troublesome effort of supplying detergent from a separate container. have
