Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field This invention relates to a combination of a toilet bowl and a cleaning tool, and in particular, to a cleaning tool that can easily clean the inner and outer surfaces of the downwardly bent portion of the upper part of the toilet bowl.

Conventional technology Conventionally, as a cleaning tool for toilet bowls,
As shown in No. 104063, it is well known to have a handle attached to a sponge or brush, but it has been difficult to clean the inside of the downwardly bent portion of the upper part of the toilet bowl with this type of cleaning tool. In other words, since the inside of the downwardly bent part is a narrow downward groove, it is difficult to insert a brush or sponge into the groove, and even if a part of it can be inserted, it requires excessive effort during cleaning. This was necessary, and depending on the cleaning method, sewage and detergent were splashed out. In particular, strongly acidic or strongly alkaline detergents were often used, which could be dangerous.
As a result, the inside of the downwardly bent portion of the toilet bowl is rarely cleaned, and dirt and the like remain attached to that portion, resulting in soiling of the toilet bowl.

Therefore, Jikkosho developed a toilet bowl cleaning tool that has a handle protruding upward from the lower end of the friction body bent in a U-shape, and which cleans by inserting the free end side of the friction body into the inside of the bent part of the toilet bowl. No. 55-2875, which required separate cleaning of the inner and outer surfaces of the downwardly bent edge of the top of the toilet.

Further, a cleaning brush consisting of a main brush part formed at the tip of the handle and a sub-brush part arranged diagonally upward from the side of the main brush part in a loop shape is disclosed in Utility Model Application Publication No. 114757/1983. Although it has been proposed,
This also required separate cleaning of the inner and outer surfaces of the downwardly bent curve at the top of the toilet bowl.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention This invention eliminates the drawbacks of the conventional toilet bowl cleaning tools mentioned above, and provides a toilet bowl and a cleaning tool that can simultaneously clean the inner surface of the downwardly bent part of the upper part of the toilet bowl and the outer surface of the bent part at the same time, easily and reliably. The aim is to provide a combination of

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the combination of a toilet bowl and a cleaning tool of this invention includes a toilet bowl having a downwardly bent inside upper part, and an inner part of the downwardly bent piece inside the upper part of the toilet bowl. The cleaning tool has a handle attached to the upper surface of an absorbent elastic body whose upper surface has cut grooves that are in close contact with the outer surface and whose lower surface is sloped.

Example An embodiment of this invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a cleaning tool, in which 1 is an absorbent elastic body made of an open-cell sponge, a mesh body, etc., a handle 2 is inserted from the upper surface 3, and the elastic body 1 and handle 2 are connected to each other. It is integrated. The lower surface 6 of the elastic body 1 is a slope. FIG. 2a is a side view, and FIG. 2b is a plan view. As shown in these figures, the outer side 4 of the elastic body 1 is curved so as to be convex in the width direction, and the upper surface 2 A cutout groove 5 is bored in the outer surface 4, the depth and width of which are approximately the same as the length and thickness of the downwardly bent portion 9 formed on the inside of the upper part of the toilet bowl shown in FIG. It is curved along. Note that the opposite side surface 7 to the outer side surface 4 may be either a curved surface having the same shape as the outer surface 4 or a flat surface.

As shown in FIG. 3, a downwardly bent part 10 having a bent piece 9 is formed inside the upper part of the toilet bowl. When the bent piece 9 is inserted, the part of the elastic body 1 between the outer surface 4 and the notch groove 5 fits into this downward bent part 10, and the elastic body 1
comes into contact with the entire inner surface of the downwardly bent piece 9. Furthermore, since the outside of the bent piece 9 is also sandwiched between the notch grooves 5, it is in contact with the elastic body 1.
By the way, although the upper part of the toilet bowl is formed into a substantially oval or substantially circular shape, one side surface 4 of the elastic body and the notch groove 5 are curved, so that the downwardly bent part 1 is curved.
The portion of the elastic body 1 that has entered the toilet bowl is pressed almost uniformly against the toilet bowl. Then, with the bending piece 9 fitted into the notch groove 5 in this way, the downward bending part 1 is opened.
When the elastic body 1 is moved along 0, the inside and outside of the downwardly bent piece 9 are smoothly cleaned at the same time.

Effects of the invention Since this invention has the above-mentioned configuration, it is possible to simultaneously clean the inner and outer surfaces of the downwardly bent part of the top of the toilet bowl, which was difficult to do with conventional toilet bowls, without getting your hands dirty by gripping the handle. It has the excellent effect of being able to Furthermore, since the lower surface of the absorbent elastic body is sloped, the obliquely formed portion of the toilet bowl can be easily cleaned using the lower surface. Furthermore, by making the lower surface sloped, an acute angle is formed at the bottom of the elastic body, and this acute angle is suitable for cleaning hard-to-remove dirt or small areas. Because the elastic body absorbs water and detergent for cleaning, it does not splash liquid like a brush and has excellent effects.
