Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a non-woven cloth for dry mop which is attached to a mop, and more particularly to a non-woven cloth having excellent dust removing ability.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, mops have been generally used for cleaning furniture, floors and the like. Such mops include a water-wiping type that is used by moistening the wipe with water, and a chemical mop in which the wipe is impregnated with an oil-based dusting agent, but in the former case, wipe the wipe with water. It has to be dipped or squeezed in a lot of work, which is troublesome, and the cleaning cloth is not dry well, which is unsanitary. There is a problem that the floor is easily soiled.

For this reason, it is desirable to use a dry mop that does not use water, dusting agents, etc., for example, a dry mop in which a wipe made of paper such as tissue paper or other non-woven fabric is attached to the mop. There is also an example. However, the conventional wiping cloth used for such a dry mop has a very poor dust removing efficiency because of its poor dust removing ability, and it is difficult to reliably remove even fine dust. Moreover, since the wiping cloth itself is thin, the usability during cleaning was not good.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A main object of the present invention is to provide a wiping cloth for a dry mop having an improved dust removing ability. Another object of the present invention is to provide a wiping cloth for a dry mop which is highly elastic and has a good feeling in use, and which has an improved dust removing ability.

[0005]

In order to solve the above problems, according to the present invention, a non-woven cloth wiping sheet made of fibers having a diameter of 1 to 9 μm, and a strength and a thickness necessary for a wiping cloth are provided. Provided is a non-woven cloth for a dry mop, which is obtained by laminating a base cloth and bonding them together. The wiping sheet and the base cloth are coupled to each other at a coupling portion located at a required distance. According to another example of the invention,
Provided is a non-woven cloth for dry mop, in which an elastic non-woven auxiliary sheet made of fibers having a diameter of 10 to 20 μm is interposed between the wiping sheet and the base cloth. The auxiliary sheet is connected to the wiping sheet and the base cloth at the position of the connecting portion for connecting the wiping sheet and the base cloth. According to a preferred example of the present invention, the non-woven fabric forming the wiping sheet and the auxiliary sheet is composed of a mixture of lipophilic fibers and hydrophilic fibers.

[0006]

The above wiping cloth is attached to a mop head and used for cleaning furniture, floors, etc., but the wiping sheet on the surface has a diameter of 1 mm.
Since it is made up of ultrafine fibers of ~ 9 μm, it has a very high dust removal ability, and it is possible to reliably remove even fine dust without impregnating with a dusting agent, and to remove mites, pollen, and bacteria. Part or the like can be removed. Further, although the above-mentioned wiping sheet made of ultrafine fibers has a small strength itself, since it is laminated with a base cloth having a strength and a thickness necessary for a wiping cloth, it is necessary to be reinforced by the base cloth. The strength can be maintained, and at the same time, elasticity is imparted to improve the usability.

Further, by interposing an elastic non-woven auxiliary sheet made of fibers having a diameter of 10 to 20 μm between the wiping sheet and the base cloth, the elasticity of the wiping cloth is further improved and cleaning is performed. Not only can the feeling of use at the time be enhanced, but also a wiping cloth having the same elasticity and feeling of use can be formed at a lower cost than in the case of using only an expensive wiping sheet.

The dirty cloth is washed with water and repeatedly used. Even if the wiping sheet with weak strength is gradually torn during repeated use, it is bonded to the base fabric by the spaced joints, so the torn parts do not fall off and form tufts. It hangs down. When the auxiliary sheet is laminated below the wiping sheet, the auxiliary sheet is also torn and hangs down like tufts. As a result,
As the surface area of the wiping cloth increases, the apparent thickness also increases, and on the contrary, the dust removing ability and the cushioning property are improved. This state continues until the wiping sheet and the auxiliary sheet are worn out and the tufts disappear.

[0009]

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the wiping cloth of the present invention used for a dry mop. Is a non-woven fabric-made wiping sheet 2 made of ultrafine fibers having a diameter of 1 to 9 μm, and a base fabric 3 having the required strength and thickness as a wiping fabric, which are laminated together at a joint portion 4. It is composed of

The non-woven fabric composing the wiping sheet 2 may be a lipophilic fiber such as polypropylene, polyester or acrylic, or a hydrophilic fiber such as rayon or nylon (trademark). It may be a mixture of oily fibers and hydrophilic fibers in an appropriate ratio, and if a mixture of lipophilic fibers and hydrophilic fibers is used, it is possible to surely wipe off both water-based stains and oily stains. it can. In addition, basically any material may be used for the base cloth 3, but it is preferable to use a wiping cloth or a non-woven cloth made of a synthetic fiber having no water absorbability. Sheets can also be used.

The wiping sheet 2 and the base cloth 3 can be joined by an appropriate means such as heat sealing, bonding with an adhesive, sewing with a thread, and the like. In that case, the wiping sheet 2 and the base cloth 3 are joined together. Although they may be integrated and integrated over the entire surface, as shown in the drawing, it is desirable that they are partially connected by the connecting portions 4 located at a required interval. Joining part 4 in this case
The array pattern of is arbitrary, such as a parallel pattern, a lattice pattern, or a dot pattern.

Thus, by laminating the wiping sheet 2 and the base cloth 3 and integrally bonding them together, the wiping sheet 2 which is excellent in dust removal ability but weak in strength because it is made of ultrafine fibers,
The base cloth 3 is reinforced to maintain the necessary strength as a wiping cloth, and at the same time, the base cloth 3 also imparts elasticity to improve the usability.

Further, by connecting the wiping sheet 2 and the base cloth 3 at the connecting portion 4 with a space therebetween, even if the wiping sheet 2 having a weak strength is torn during repeated use, the wiping sheet 2 shown in FIG. As shown, the torn portion does not fall off and hangs in a tuft shape, which increases the surface area of the wiping cloth 1A and also increases the apparent thickness.
On the contrary, it brings about an effect of improving the dust removal ability and the cushioning property.

The wiping cloth 1A having the above construction is used for cleaning furniture, floors, etc. by mounting it on the head of a mop, and the wiping sheet 2 on the surface is formed of ultrafine fibers having a diameter of 1 to 9 μm. Therefore, the dust removal performance is excellent, and it is possible not only to remove fine dust without impregnating a dusting agent but also to remove mites, pollen, a part of bacteria and the like. Further, although the wiping sheet 2 made of ultrafine fibers has excellent dust removing ability, it has low strength,
It is reinforced by being laminated with the base fabric 3 to have increased strength, and has appropriate thickness and elasticity to give a good usability.

The dirty cloth 1A is washed with water and repeatedly used. Even if the wiping sheet 2 with weak strength is gradually torn during repeated use, since the wiping sheet 2 is bonded to the base cloth 3 by the connecting portions 4 with a space, the torn portion is As shown in FIG. 2, it does not fall off, and it hangs down like a tuft, which increases the surface area of the wiping cloth 1A and increases the apparent thickness. As a result, the dust removing capacity and cushioning property of the wiping cloth are improved. It will be. This state continues until the wiping sheet 2 is worn out and the tufted portion disappears.

FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment of the wiping cloth of the present invention. This wiping cloth 1B comprises a wiping sheet 2 and a base cloth 3 made of the same material as that of the first embodiment. An auxiliary sheet 5 made of a highly elastic non-woven fabric made of fibers having a diameter of 10 to 20 μm is interposed between the wiper sheet 2, the auxiliary sheet 5 and the base cloth 3 by a joint portion 4 with a space therebetween. Combined with. The non-woven fabric forming the auxiliary sheet 5 may be a lipophilic fiber such as polypropylene, polyester, acrylic, or a hydrophilic fiber such as rayon or nylon (trademark). It may be a mixture of a hydrophilic fiber and a hydrophilic fiber in an appropriate ratio.

The auxiliary sheet 5 improves the elasticity of the wiping cloth 1B to enhance the usability during cleaning and at the same time the dust removal capacity, but compared with the wiping sheet 2 made of ultrafine fibers. Since it is inexpensive, it can be formed at a lower cost than a case where a wiping cloth having elasticity and dust removing ability similar to those of the wiping cloth 1B is configured using only the expensive wiping sheet 2. In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, even when the wiping sheet 2 and the auxiliary sheet 5 are torn by repeated use, they hang down in a tufted manner, so that the wiping cloth 1
As the surface area of B increases, the apparent thickness also increases,
The dust removal ability and cushioning property are improved.

[0018]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the wiping sheet made of the ultrafine fibers having a diameter of 1 to 9 μm is arranged on the surface of the wiping cloth, the dust removing performance is excellent and the dusting agent is not impregnated. Even fine dust can be reliably removed. Also, since the above-mentioned wiping sheet, which has excellent dust removal ability but weak strength, is reinforced with the base cloth, sufficient strength of the entire wiping cloth is maintained and at the same time the thickness is increased, resulting in elasticity. Greater usability. Furthermore, even if the wiping sheet is torn by repeated use by joining the wiping sheet having weak strength and the base cloth at the joining portion with an interval,
Since the torn portion is hung in a tufted shape, this has the advantage of increasing the surface area of the wiping cloth and increasing the apparent thickness, and conversely improving the dust removing ability and cushioning property of the wiping cloth.
