Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a cleaning tool, and more specifically to a cleaning tool that is particularly useful for cleaning sick people, bedridden elderly people, and animals such as dogs and cats.

[Conventional technology]

Traditionally, the bodies of sick people and bedridden elderly people have been washed by wiping them with wet towels, but sometimes that is not enough, so they sometimes wash themselves in the bathtub, but this is extremely tedious and sweaty. It becomes a tedious task.

In addition, cleaning animals such as dogs and cats is a troublesome and time-consuming task, and also leaves clothes wet. In particular, cats have a habit of hating water, so if you take them to the bathroom to wash them, they will hate it, and when it comes time to shampoo or wash them, they will go wild, and they will scratch you with their claws. This is a daily experience for anyone who owns a cat.

[The problem that the idea aims to solve]

Despite the above-mentioned situation, the lack of simple and effective cleaning tools makes it difficult for the sick, bedridden elderly, dogs and
Animals such as cats are cleaned using the typical cleaning methods described above. This is because there is a fixed idea of washing with water.
This is thought to be due to the inability to break away from past conventions.

Therefore, in order to overcome the conventional situation described above, it is necessary to break away from the stereotype of washing with water and develop a cleaning tool that can be washed without spraying water.

The present invention is based on such an unprecedented and innovative viewpoint, and its purpose is to provide a cleaning tool that can be easily and effectively cleaned without splashing water.

[Means to solve the problem]

According to the present invention, in order to achieve the above object, there is provided a bag-shaped liquid-impermeable inner layer body whose one end is open so that a hand can be inserted thereinto, and a bag-like liquid-impermeable inner layer body provided to cover at least one side of the inner layer body. A cleaning tool is provided, which comprises a liquid-absorbing outer layer having at least one side surface impregnated with a cleaning liquid.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIGS. 1 and 2 show an example of the cleaning tool of the present invention, and the cleaning tool 1 includes a bag-shaped liquid-impermeable inner layer body 2 in which an opening 3 for inserting a hand is formed at one end side; It consists of a liquid-absorbent outer layer 4 that is attached to cover both sides of the inner layer 2, and the liquid-absorbent outer layer 4 on at least one side of the cleaning tool is impregnated with a cleaning liquid as described below. There is.

The cleaning tool 1 is made by folding a long strip of liquid-impermeable material coated with a liquid-absorbing material sheet in advance so that the liquid-impermeable material sheet is on the inside, and heat-sealing the strip. It can be easily manufactured by sealing both sides A by a known method such as adhesion. Next, at least one side of the liquid-absorbent outer layer 4 is impregnated with a cleaning liquid, and a single piece of the obtained cleaning tool 1 is packaged, or a surface of the liquid-absorbent outer layer impregnated with the cleaning liquid is coated to prevent liquid transfer. A product is obtained by stacking a plurality of overlapping plastic films and packaging them as they are, or by folding them in half and packaging them.

To use, tear open the package, take out the cleaning tool 1, insert your hand through the opening 3, and touch the surface of the liquid-absorbing outer layer impregnated with the cleaning liquid to the body of a sick person, bedridden elderly person, dog, cat, etc. The animal's body will be cleansed by applying it to the animal's fur and wiping it off with a towel, etc. In the case of animals, the animal's body hair will have a shine that looks like it has been rinsed, and it will become clean. If the liquid-absorbing outer layer on both sides is impregnated with cleaning liquid, it may be wiped off with a towel after cleaning as described above, but if the liquid-absorbing outer layer on one side is impregnated with cleaning liquid, , if the other side of the absorbent outer layer is not impregnated, the surface of the absorbent outer layer that is impregnated with the cleaning liquid is used for cleaning;
Thereafter, wiping may be performed using the surface of the liquid-absorbent outer layer that is not impregnated with the cleaning liquid. Furthermore, the end of the bag-shaped liquid-impermeable inner layer 2 on the opening 3 side is slightly larger than the end of the opening 3 of the liquid-absorbent outer layer 4 impregnated with the cleaning liquid, as shown in FIG. Preferably, it extends. As a result, when the hand is inserted through the opening 3, the cleaning liquid impregnated in the liquid-absorbent outer layer 4 does not adhere to the wrist, and the hand can be inserted by pinching the end of the inner layer 2. , the advantage is that it can be inserted without getting your hands dirty.

In the above embodiment, a bag was formed from a laminated sheet in which a liquid-absorbing material sheet was pasted on a liquid-impermeable material sheet, but a bag was formed by overlapping each of the separate sheets. It can also be formed into a shape. In this case, the inner layer body and the outer layer body are in a separated state except for the seal portion A. However, from the viewpoint of productivity and the like, it is preferable to use the above laminated sheet. Alternatively, the liquid-absorbing outer layer 4 may be attached to only one side of the bag-shaped liquid-impermeable inner layer 2 and impregnated with the cleaning liquid. Such a cleaning tool is made by folding in half a non-liquid-permeable material sheet with a liquid-absorbing material sheet pasted on half of its surface, or by folding a non-liquid-permeable material sheet in half and attaching a liquid-absorbing material sheet to it. It can be manufactured by overlapping the two sides and sealing both sides. Furthermore, although the outer shape of the cleaning implement is rectangular in the illustrated embodiment, it can be formed into any arbitrary shape such as an oval or a glove-like shape.

Examples of the liquid-impermeable material sheet include films or sheets of various synthetic resins such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polyester, and nylon, rubber sheets, laminated films of various synthetic resins, and laminated films with metal foils. Any material that is flexible and waterproof can be used.

Examples of liquid-absorbing material sheets include pulp sheets, linters, polymer resins such as rayon, and polyester, nonwoven fabrics such as hemp, cloth, synthetic paper, and foam sponges, which have flexibility and the ability to impregnate cleaning liquid. You can use anything.

On the other hand, the cleaning liquid to be impregnated into the liquid-absorbent outer layer includes various shampoo liquids, soapy water, etc., and may be used depending on the object to be cleaned. An example of shampoo liquid is shown below.

Cosmetic base: parts by weight Polyoxyethylene lauryl ether 5.40 Sodium sulfate (25% 3E.0) Lauryl sulfate triethanolamine 5.40 (40%) Coconut oil fatty acid diethanolamide 4.00 Paraoxybenzoic acid ester 0.30 Sodium lauryl sulfate 0.70 Urea 1.40 Sodium chloride 0.80 Citric acid 0.15 Undecylenic acid monoethanolamide 0.10 Purified water 76.50 Legal pigment: Yellow-5 Trace fragrance 0.15 Others: N-lauroyl-N-methyl-β- 4.00 Sodium alanine (30%) Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose 0.60 Chitin liquid 0.50 Total 100.000 Above A small amount of Kajime (marine brown algae) extract was added to the shampoo liquid, and this was applied to one side of the liquid-absorbent outer layer made of pulp sheet of the cleaning tool (width 14 cm x length 20 cm) shown in Figure 1. When the cat was washed with the impregnated cleaning tool, the cat appeared to be comfortable being rubbed without becoming violent. After washing, when the cat's hair was wiped with the surface of the absorbent outer layer on one side that was not impregnated with the shampoo solution, the cat's fur had a glossy luster, was cleanly washed, and had no odor. It has been confirmed that this deodorizing effect is due to the alginic acid contained in the above Kajime extract (Kajime contains 712.9 mg of alginic acid, 8.7 mg of calcium, 0.7 mg of iodine, and 54.9 mg of potassium per 1 g of dried Kajime). , sodium 24.8m
g, magnesium 6.3mg, strontium 1.0m
g, zinc 0.04mg, iron 0.03mg, copper 0.01mg, and manganese 0.004mg). Also, alginic acid is said to remove heavy metals from the blood. Therefore, by adding the above-mentioned preliminarily extracted liquid to the cleaning liquid, it is possible to expect not only a deodorizing effect but also an effect of improving blood circulation.

The cleaning tool of this invention is suitable for use by sick people, bedridden elderly people, dogs, etc.
It is useful not only for cleaning animals such as cats, but also for cleaning places that cannot be washed with water.

[Functions and effects of the idea]

As described above, the cleaning tool of the present invention includes a bag-shaped liquid-impermeable inner layer body whose one end is open so that a hand can be inserted therein, and a bag-like liquid-impermeable inner layer body provided to cover at least one side of the inner layer body. Since at least one side of the liquid-absorbent outer layer is impregnated with cleaning liquid, insert your hand through the opening and touch the side of the liquid-absorbent outer layer that is impregnated with cleaning liquid. You can clean the area by rubbing it against the area you want to clean to remove dirt, and then wiping it off.

Therefore, it can be easily and effectively washed without splashing water, and is particularly useful for washing the bodies of sick people and bedridden elderly people, and for washing animals such as dogs and cats, especially cats that dislike water.
