Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mop for cleaning floors, furniture and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a mop of this kind, it is well known that a disposable wiping cloth made of cloth or paper is attached to a head to clean floors, furniture, etc., and a certain amount of dust adheres to the wiping cloth by cleaning. Then, the wiped cloth was discarded and replaced with a new one.

However, in the conventional mop of this type, since the head for attaching the wiping cloth is formed of a hard material such as synthetic resin, it is easy to damage the wall or furniture by contacting it during cleaning. However, there is a drawback in that it is difficult to press the wiping cloth against the portion to be cleaned with a wide surface, and cleaning efficiency and usage efficiency of the wiping cloth are poor.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a mop which is not damaged even when it comes into contact with a wall or furniture and has excellent cleaning efficiency and wiping cloth use efficiency. It is in.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the mop according to the present invention comprises a handle, a wiping cloth mounting head at the tip of the handle, and a cleaning cloth which is replaceably mounted on the head. And the head has a pressing portion for pressing the wiping cloth against the cleaning portion, and at least the surface of the pressing portion is formed of a flexible material such as rubber or sponge. is there.

Another mop of the present invention comprises a handle, a wiping cloth attaching head at the tip of the handle, and a cleaning wiping cloth which is replaceably attached to the head, and the head is wiped. At least the surface for pressing the cloth against the cleaning portion has a pressing portion formed of a flexible material such as rubber or sponge, and a holding piece that elastically abuts the side surface of the pressing portion, and is attached to the pressing portion. It is characterized in that the wiping cloth is held in the mounted state by holding a part of the wiping cloth between these holding pieces and the pressing portion.

In the mop of the present invention, the wiping cloth is obtained by polymerizing and integrating a back member made of a non-woven fabric made of chemical fiber having high strength and a front member made of a non-woven fabric made of flexible natural fiber. It is preferably formed and attached to the head with the surface member facing outward.

According to another aspect of the present invention, the wiping cloth is bent into a substantially M-shape, the central portion is attached to the pressing portion of the head, and the two left and right bending portions are the holding piece and the pressing portion. A strip-shaped small piece is formed by making a large number of cuts on the outer side of the folded portion of the wiping cloth, and the small piece hangs downward.

[0009]

When cleaning, the wiping cloth is pressed against the portion to be cleaned by the pressing portion of the head. Since the pressing portion is soft, the deformation causes the wiping cloth to be pressed firmly against the portion to be cleaned with a wide surface for cleaning. Will be done. Therefore, the cleaning efficiency is good, and the wiping cloth can be effectively used on a wide surface, and thus the usage efficiency is also good. Further, even if the head comes into contact with a wall or furniture, they do not damage them.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. The mop shown in FIG. 1 has a handle 1 having an appropriate shape and a wiping cloth mounting head 2 formed at the tip of the handle 1.
And a cleaning cloth 3 that is replaceably attached to the head 2.

The head 2 comprises a pressing portion 4 for pressing the wiping cloth 3 against the cleaning portion and a cover 5 provided on the pressing portion 4, and the pressing portion 4 is wholly or on the surface. Is formed of a flexible material such as rubber or sponge, and the wiping cloth 3 is attached to the outer surface thereof, while the cover 5 is formed of a flexible material such as rubber or sponge. At both end portions, there are sandwiching pieces 5a, 5a elastically abutting on the upper side surface of the pressing portion 4, and the sandwiching piece 5 is provided.
The wiping cloth 3 is held in the mounted state by sandwiching a part of the wiping cloth 3 with the pressing portion 4 by a. In this case, in order to hold the wipe 3 in a more reliable locked state, at least one of the sandwiching piece 5a and the pressing portion 4 is provided with a locking projection 6 or a locking member such as a surface fastener. It is desirable to install.

The cover 5 is detachably attached to the upper portion of the pressing portion 4, but may be fixed with an adhesive or the like, or may be formed integrally with the pressing portion 4.

The wiping cloth 3 is bent into a substantially M shape,
The central portion is attached so as to follow the outer surface of the pressing portion 4 of the head 2, and the left and right two bent portions 3a, 3a are sandwiched between the sandwiching piece 5a and the pressing portion 4, and the above-mentioned wipe 3 The side portions outside the bent portions 3a and 3a are, as shown in FIG.
A large number of strip-shaped small pieces 3b are formed by making cuts, and the small pieces 3b hang downward in a free state. These small pieces 3b can also be formed on both side edges of the wipe 3 in the longitudinal direction.

As shown in FIG. 3, the wiping cloth 3 has a back member 7 made of a chemical fiber non-woven fabric having a high strength and a surface member 8 made of a flexible natural fiber non-woven fabric, which are polymerized and integrated with each other. The surface member 8 is attached to the head 2 with the surface member 8 facing outside. The wipe 3 may be impregnated with a dusting agent.

In the wiping cloth 3 thus formed, the strength required for attaching to the head or for cleaning is secured mainly by the back surface member 7, and the cushioning property, the dusting function, and the holding function of the dusting agent at the time of cleaning. Etc. are mainly secured by the surface member 8. In this case, it is possible to increase the fiber density of the back surface member 7 to increase the strength of the back surface of the wiping cloth and decrease the fiber density of the front surface member 8 to further increase the flexibility of the surface of the wiping cloth. Thereby, the effect of forming the wiping cloth 3 with the front surface member 8 and the back surface member 7 can be further enhanced.

In the mop having the above-mentioned structure, the central portion of the wiping cloth 3 mounted on the pressing portion 4 is pressed against the portion to be cleaned by the pressing portion 4 for cleaning, and the small piece 3b at the outer end portion of the wiping cloth 3 is cleaned.
Is used to entangle cotton dust. At this time, since the pressing portion 4 is soft, the deformation causes the wiping cloth 3 to be pressed firmly against the portion to be cleaned over a wide area for cleaning, which results in good cleaning efficiency and
Since the wiping cloth 3 can be effectively used on a wide surface, the usage efficiency is good. Moreover, since the small pieces 3b formed on the outer peripheral portion of the wiping cloth 3 can also remove cotton dust and the like, almost the entire surface of the wiping cloth 3 can be effectively used. Further, even if the flexible head 2 comes into contact with a wall, furniture, etc., they are not damaged.

When dust has adhered to the wiping cloth 3 to some extent after being used several times, the wiping cloth 3 is removed from the head 2 and discarded, and a new wiping cloth 3 is mounted. The wiping cloth 3 can be attached and detached by lifting the holding piece 5a as shown by the chain line in FIG.

The wiping cloth 3 does not necessarily have to be provided with the hanging small piece 3b as in the embodiment.

[0019]

As described above, according to the mop of the present invention, even if it comes into contact with a wall, furniture or the like, they are not damaged, and a wiping cloth is widely contacted with a portion to be cleaned so that the mop can be efficiently cleaned. Not only can it be used, but almost the entire surface of the wipe can be effectively used.
