Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <<Technical Field of the Invention>> This invention relates to a cleaning tool that facilitates the cleaning operation of automobiles and the like.

<Prior Art and its Problems> The task of washing cars, bathtubs, and other objects is extremely troublesome. In the case of automobiles, dirt is usually removed by scrubbing the surface of the vehicle with a brush or the like while water or a cleaning solution mixed with water and detergent flows out of a hose. It is very tiring to have to hold the brush while squirting water etc. in the other hand and move it.

Therefore, cleaning tools have been put into practical use in which a brush is connected to the end of a hose and water or the like is jetted from inside the brush. FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing an example of a conventional cleaning tool. In the figure, a is a brush made of hard synthetic resin or the like in a hollow shape, and one end of which is connected to the end of a hose b.A brush c is implanted on one side, and a cleaning liquid such as water is fed through the hose b. , a large number of holes d are drilled for spouting. This cleaning tool is designed to remove dirt by rubbing the surface of the car body with a brush c while sending liquid from a hose b and squirting it out from a hole d, so it can be conveniently operated with one hand.

However, even with this cleaning tool, since the handle e is held in the hand for cleaning, the tip of the brush a may hit the vehicle body and cause scratches. Further, there was a problem in that it was not possible to remove dirt from every corner of the vehicle body, such as the back side of the wheel house, with the brush c, and it was necessary to use a rag or the like for supplementary cleaning.

<<Purpose of the invention>> The object of the invention is to provide a cleaning tool that allows cleaning to be performed directly with one hand while applying cleaning liquid with the palm of the hand.

<<Structure of the invention>> In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a flexible glove and a hose connection portion laminated on the palm surface of the glove and a plurality of liquid spouts formed on the surface thereof. It includes a closed flexible cleaning bag and a sponge which is a cleaning material and has a large number of through holes that correspond to the liquid spout and is laminated on the surface of the cleaning bag.

<<Description of Embodiments>> FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a cleaning tool according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a partially sectional perspective view.

In the figure, 1 is a mitten-shaped glove into which a hand can be inserted through an opening 2 at the base end. Reference numeral 3 denotes a cleaning bag portion laminated and bonded to the palm surface of the glove 1, and the overall shape is the same as that of the glove 1, but the base end is closed and a portion has a hose 4 for supplying cleaning liquid. connected.

The glove 1 and the cleaning bag 3 are made of a flexible sheet made of rubber or a soft synthetic resin such as cold-resistant vinyl chloride.

The cleaning bag part 3 is made by welding the peripheral edges of front and back flexible sheets 3a and 3b together with a hose 4 by high-frequency sewing, etc., and the front sheet 3a has a large number of jets that communicate with the inside of the bag. The holes 5 are opened in a predetermined pattern.

Furthermore, a sponge 6, which is a cleaning material, is laminated and adhered to the same surface. The sponge 6 is made of an open-cell material such as foamed urethane resin.
It is formed to have the same outer shape as the sheet 3a, and has the same pattern of through holes 7 formed in the thickness direction in the same number as the liquid jet ports 5.

To use the cleaning tool configured as described above for cleaning a car, insert the palm of your hand into the glove 1 through the opening 2, and feed a cleaning liquid such as water into the cleaning bag 3 through the hose 4 as shown by the arrow. The user moves his/her hand while squirting the cleaning liquid from the spout 5 and scrubs the surface of the vehicle body with the sponge 6 to clean the vehicle. According to this work,
The cleaning bag part 3 can be directly pressed against the surface of the car body with the palm of the hand to remove dirt while causing the cleaning liquid to flow out, and since it is sufficiently flexible, any part of the car body can be cleaned freely.

When the sponge 6 is pressed against the surface of the vehicle body in this manner, a portion of the cleaning liquid ejected from the liquid spout 5 impregnates the inside of the sponge 6 from the peripheral wall surface of the through hole 7, so that the sponge 6 becomes sufficiently water-filled. Further, when the sponge 6 is separated from the surface of the vehicle body, the cleaning liquid ejected from the liquid ejection port 5 is transmitted through the through hole 7 and is vigorously ejected outside in a shower-like manner. Therefore, by changing the state of contact of the sponge 6 with the vehicle body surface, cleaning operations similar to those using a shower and wiping can be performed. In addition, since this entire cleaning tool has flexibility, by connecting or opening the hand inside the glove 1,
Since the opening area of the through holes 7 of the sponge 6 changes, the amount and force of water coming out of the through holes 7 can be changed.

FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment of the present invention in which the original liquid volume can be adjusted manually.
Note that the same parts as described above will be described with the same reference numerals.

In the figure, a water volume adjustment pot 10 is connected to the protruding end of the hose 4. By operating the knob 10A of this pot 10, the original amount of water can be adjusted by hand, making it even more convenient to use.

Although the bags 1 and 3 are mitten-shaped in each example, the shape of the bag is not limited to this, and even if the bag has a five-finger shape depending on the shape of the palm, it can be used for the four fingers below the second finger. It is also possible to form a mitten shape with an integrated bag.

In addition, the cleaning bag portion 3 is constructed by stacking back and front sheets 3a and 3b, but one sheet is attached to the glove 1.
It can also be configured by pasting it on the palm of the hand.

《Effects of the invention》 As explained above, the cleaning tool of the present invention can simultaneously drain the cleaning liquid from the part corresponding to the palm of the worker and remove dirt using the sponge, which is the cleaning material, and has extremely high work efficiency. good. Furthermore, hand movements are directly transmitted to the cleaning tool, making it possible to thoroughly clean every corner of the cleaning surface. In addition, since the entire cleaning tool is made of a soft material such as rubber, you can not only change the amount and force of water that flows out by connecting or opening your hand inside the glove, but also change the amount of water that flows out. There is no risk of scratches caused by bumping into the bathtub or other surfaces.

Furthermore, by pressing this cleaning tool against the cleaning surface and releasing it, it can be used as a rag containing water, or as a powerful shower.
