Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cleaning tool for removing stains on the body, dishes and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, for cleaning the body, tableware, automobiles and the like, soap and detergent are applied to rubbing tools such as sponges and towels to remove dirt by rubbing.
These sponges and towels are cheap and easily available,
It was difficult to handle unless it was of appropriate size and thickness, and it was difficult to handle, so it was difficult to handle. Therefore, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 55-9660 proposes a soap box in which a sponge is bonded to the lid of the soap box.

However, the soap box with a sponge described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 55-9660 is convenient for cleaning, but it is necessary to remove the soap from the box and attach it to the sponge part. . Therefore, it is necessary to use both hands, which is inconvenient for a person with one hand. In particular, in recent years, an aging society has become more common, and the number of elderly people and people with physical disabilities tends to increase. However, cleaning work has been difficult for elderly people who need to use both hands.

Therefore, the inventor of the present invention has devised a cleaning tool which can be cleaned with only one hand and is easy to handle, and filed a utility model registration application (Japanese Patent Application No. 5-75771). This cleaning tool is a cleaning tool including a lidded container having a hollow portion for storing soap and the like, and a submersible friction tool attached to the surface of the lidded container over a certain range. The container is provided with a hole penetrating from the contact surface with the friction tool to the hollow portion. According to this cleaning tool, soapy water that has melted in the hollow portion can be soaked in the friction tool and cleaned with one hand.

[0005]

However, the present inventor
As a result of actual cleaning using this cleaning tool, the foaming was not good and the desired cleaning could not be performed.
It is considered that the reason is that the soap water did not soak into the friction tool because the soap water that had melted in the hollow portion of the lidded container did not easily enter the holes. It is also considered that one of the causes was that the soap was difficult to dissolve.

Therefore, the present inventor has arrived at the present invention as a result of intensive research to solve such a problem.

[0007]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention comprises a container with a lid having a hollow portion for accommodating soap and the like, and a submersible friction tool attached to the surface of the lid container over a certain range. A cleaning tool configured, wherein the partition member between the lidded container and the friction tool is provided with a hole penetrating from the contact surface with the friction tool to the hollow portion, wherein the hole is The partition member is provided over a certain area, and includes one or more plate pieces arranged side by side with a predetermined gap provided in the hole, and an elastic member that supports the plate piece in the hole. There is something.

Further, in the cleaning tool of the present invention, one or two or more protrusions are provided at the contact portion of the partition member with soap or the like.

[0009]

The cleaning tool of the present invention is used not only for cleaning the body but also for cleaning automobiles and tableware. When it is used for cleaning the body in, for example, a bathtub, the lid of the lidded container is first opened. After the soap is put in the hollow part, the lid is closed. Next, the cleaning tool is attached to the surface of the lidded container by being immersed in water in a washbasin or a bath or being applied to tap water while being held by one hand. Gets wet. The wetting of the rubbing implement will allow water to soak into the rubbing implement. here,
A plate piece is provided with a gap in the hole of the partition member between the lidded container and the friction tool, and water soaked into the friction tool enters the hollow portion through this gap, and the soap in the hollow portion is removed. It will be immersed in water. If the lidded container is provided with a water immersion hole, it may be submerged in water in the washbasin or bathtub to allow water to enter the hollow part from the water immersion hole, and The soap will be wet with water.

Soap is placed in the hollow portion and applied to the body while being wet with water. When the cleaning tool is shaken while being applied to the body, the soap is abraded in the hollow portion and the soapy water starts to melt. In addition, by shaking the cleaning tool, the soap hits the partition member. When the soap hits the partition member, the elastic member elastically bends and vibrates, and the plate piece supported by the elastic member reciprocates. By the reciprocating motion of the plate piece, the melted soapy water is sequentially pushed out to the friction tool side, and bubbles are generated from the melted soapy water. As the soapy water is sequentially pushed out toward the rubbing tool, the soapy water permeates the rubbing tool, so that the rubbing tool is in a state of containing the soapy water.

In this way, the body is washed by being rubbed along the body with the friction tool containing soapy water. When the soap is difficult to melt, the soap in the hollow part is violently shaken by rocking the cleaning tool in the air, and the soap in the cleaning tool is melted one after another.

Further, at the contact portion of the partition member with soap or the like,
In the cleaning tool of the present invention, which is characterized by having one or two or more protrusions, the soap is scraped off by the protrusions by being shaken. Since the soap is scraped off by the protrusions, the soapy water easily begins to melt.
