Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cleaning tool, and more particularly to a cleaning tool for wiping off stains on a portion to be cleaned such as a toilet bowl of a toilet.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as cleaning articles for cleaning a toilet bowl (place to be cleaned) of a toilet, there is a scrubber with a handle attached to the tip of a handle or a sponge with a handle attached to a sponge. Mainly used. Although these work well in the cleaning work of the inner surface of the toilet bowl of the toilet, they are not hygienic because the cleaning parts, draining and drying of the cleaning articles after use are carried out in the toilet room. Further, in the storage of these, since they were stored in a container, this container also had to be cleaned, and the cleaning operation required double labor.

Therefore, in recent years, a disposable cleaning tool using a water-decomposable material has been proposed. For example, the actual Kaihei 2-1
Japanese Patent No. 3484 discloses a stick made of water-disintegratable paper and water-soluble glue,
A cleaning tool manufactured in the shape of a spatula, a U-shape or the like is disclosed, and Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 62-186833 discloses a cleaning tool in which wood pulp is paper-made using a water-soluble binder and is assembled into a flapping shape. After use, these are disposed of in the accumulated water in the toilet bowl of the toilet. In addition, the actual Kaisho 60-19
Japanese Patent No. 1296 discloses a cleaning tool in which a brush portion is molded into a three-dimensional shape using a water-decomposable material, and an attachment portion for detachably attaching the brush portion is provided at the tip of a handle.

[0004]

However, the above-mentioned Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 2-138484 and Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 62-1868.
In the cleaning tool disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 33, a water-decomposable member is formed into a rod shape, a spatula shape, a U shape, an L shape, a nail shape, or the like, or is formed by assembling into a swatter shape. When it is used for the part to be cleaned in the toilet bowl of the toilet, when cleaning work is performed with each shape, the shape is destroyed when these are diffused into the fiber state with water, and the rigidity of these is further reduced, eventually, It will be in the state of using a rod shape, or water will adhere to the hand. If the water disintegration is reduced in order to improve this, the water disintegration of the cleaning tool is reduced, which makes it difficult to flow and causes clogging of toilet bowls and the like in the toilet.

Further, in the cleaning tool disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 60-191296, a water-decomposable member is formed into a three-dimensional shape and inserted into the tip of the mounting portion. Generally, the water-decomposable member is formed into a three-dimensional shape. In this case, the water-decomposable member and the water-soluble binder are uniformly filled in a tableting mold, which is tabletted at a constant pressure and then dried, so that the manufacturing method is complicated and the cost is high. There is a drawback that it is difficult to clean the details of the toilet bowl because the portion of the toilet bowl to be cleaned is scraped off by the flat surface of the toilet. Further, since the three-dimensional water-decomposable member is simply inserted into the mounting portion, there is a drawback that the water-decomposable member is detached from the mounting portion during use.

The present invention effectively solves at least one of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a cleaning tool capable of washing the cleaning member and reducing the manufacturing cost thereof.

[0007]

A cleaning tool according to the present invention comprises a substantially cylindrical cleaning member made of a water-decomposable material for washing and cleaning an area to be cleaned, and a gripping member for gripping the cleaning member at its tip. The gripping member has a cylindrical outer shell that covers and fixes the cleaning member from the outer peripheral surface, and the cleaning member is slid in the longitudinal direction of the outer shell to be removed. An extrusion mechanism is provided.

[0008]

According to the cleaning tool of the present invention, the cleaning member is grasped by the tip of the grasping member, and the portion to be cleaned is washed away by this cleaning member. The gripping member covers and fixes the outer peripheral surface of the cleaning member with a cylindrical outer shell. This cleaning member is slid in the longitudinal direction of the outer shell by the pushing mechanism in the outer shell and removed.
Furthermore, since it is made of a water-decomposable material, it can be washed away. Then, another new cleaning member is inserted into the outer shell of the grip member, and the outer shell of the cleaning member is covered and fixed to the outer shell of the grip member, so that the cleaning member can be easily replaced. Since the cleaning member is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape, even if a part of the cleaning member is hydrolyzed, the outer peripheral surface of the cleaning member is brought into contact with the portion to be cleaned, and the cleaning member is almost cylindrical. Since the force is applied to the entire cleaning member, the shape of the cleaning member is maintained.

Therefore, it is possible to easily perform the replacement work of the cleaning member and improve the hygiene aspect of the cleaning work of the cleaning tool.

Since the cleaning member is made of a water-decomposable material in a substantially cylindrical shape, the cleaning portion can be cleaned by pressing the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical cleaning member against the cleaning portion. At the same time, as compared with the case where the cleaning member is formed into a three-dimensional complex shape, the cleaning member can be manufactured at low cost and the shape of the cleaning member can be maintained.
