Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sweeping tool, and more particularly to a sweeping tool used to remove dust and dirt.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Brooms, brushes, mops and the like have been conventionally used for cleaning dust and dirt on the floor. In particular, since the mop can be wetted with water and the floor surface can be wiped off, there is an advantage that even fine dust can be removed.

[0003]

In order to wipe the floor with water, the mop must be a floor surface that can be used with water, which limits the range of use. Moreover, there is a drawback that the operation is troublesome because water is used.

The broom can sweep out dust without using water, but since there are gaps between the constituent materials, dust and the like escape through the gaps. Therefore, it cannot be completely cleaned without sweeping many times. Very fine dust is not suitable for sweeping with a broom.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and provides a sweeping tool capable of completely sweeping and removing even fine dust without using water. It is intended to be provided. [Detailed Description of the Invention]

According to the present invention, an electrostatic bag-like sweeping portion is mounted on a flexible core material so as to cover at least the sweeping portion of the core material. The present invention relates to a sweeping tool having both functions of taking.

As the flexible core material located inside, various kinds of flexible core materials such as a broom, a brush and a rubber plate are used. On the other hand, the bag-shaped sweeping portion attached to the outside may be a bag made of synthetic fibers or chemical fibers, and may be detachably attached to the core material. In particular, the sweeping section is preferably made of a braided synthetic fiber. Further, if the handle is attached to the core material and the handle is used for cleaning, the work becomes easy.

[0008]

A bag made of synthetic fiber or chemical fiber is detachably attached to the outside of a flexible core material such as a broom, a brush, a rubber plate, etc., and a handle attached if necessary is used to sweep the floor. It becomes possible to sweep out or wipe off dust and dust existing on the etc., and it has both the wiping function of the conventional broom and brush and the wiping function of the mop.

[0009]

1 shows a sweeper according to a first embodiment of the present invention, to which a broom 10 is applied. That is, in a broom 10 that has been conventionally used and is provided with a handle 11 made of a bamboo stick, a bag-shaped sweeping portion 12 is detachably attached to the tip end side portion of the broom 10. is there.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the bag-shaped sweeping portion 12 is formed in a bag shape, and the tip side portion, that is, the sweeping portion is made of the braided nylon 16 and the upper portion thereof. The part is made of cotton cloth 17. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the mouth portion is tightened and closed by the string 19 which is inserted inside the folded-back portion 18 which is folded inside the upper opening. I'm trying to fix it.

The raw yarns constituting the braid 16 may be filament yarns of various synthetic fibers such as nylon processed yarn and polyester processed yarn. Alternatively, rayon processed yarn may be used. Then, the braid 16 may be formed by knitting the raw yarn made of such synthetic fibers or chemical fibers. As the knitting method, flat knitting, smooth knitting and the like are suitable. By knitting, it is possible to give the bag-shaped material 16 a large stretchability.

When the braid 16 is knitted by the above flat knitting or smooth knitting, it is necessary that the knitting density is at least 0.3 gauge per inch. It is preferably 1 gauge or more per inch. If you want to make a fine bag-like object that can remove even minute dust,
More preferably, it is 5 gauge or more per inch.
Further, when knitting, it is necessary to properly adjust the tension so that the bag 16 is provided with optimum stretchability.

As described above, the sweeping tool according to the present embodiment uses the flexible core material having elasticity like the broom 10, and the tip side of the bag-like sweeping section 1 is made of the braid 16 of nylon.
The present invention relates to a sweeping tool in which 2 is detachably covered. Using a sweeping tool such as this with a handle 11, when cleaning a smooth floor surface that is top-coated with concrete, linoleum, astile, urethane floor, etc., fine dust unlike conventional brooms, It has been confirmed that pet hair can be easily collected without scattering. By the way, in the conventional broom, it could not be swept quickly because it was scattered by the gap between the constituent materials.

Such a sweeping tool has the function of wiping the broom 10 by the bag-shaped sweeping portion 12 covered on the outside of the broom 10, and also has a role as a mop. Porch, classroom, stairs,
It has been confirmed that it is extremely effective for cleaning open corridors and offices. In particular, it is possible to reliably collect small dust with one operation. The nylon braid 16 on the tip side of the bag-shaped sweeping section 12 does not allow even minute dust to escape, and when used, static electricity is generated due to friction, and dust that has adhered is prevented from scattering. This makes the sweeping effect higher and enables an effective sweeping operation.

The bag-shaped sweeping section 12 mounted so as to cover the broom 10 from the outside is gradually soiled by several uses. However, by loosening the string 19 and removing it from the broom 10, and washing it, the original state is almost clean. Therefore, it suffices to wash it, clean it, and attach it to the broom 10, and it can be repeatedly used many times. When the broom 10 is broken, a new bag-shaped sweeping section 12 may be used, and the broom 10 can be used as it is.

FIG. 4 shows a packaging form when the bag-shaped sweeping section 12 is sold separately, and the pattern 30 is supplied in the bag-shaped sweeping section 12. . Then, a transparent plastic bag 29 is interposed between the pattern 30 and the bag-shaped sweeping section 12. That is, the pattern paper 30 is further stored in the bag-shaped sweeping section 12 while being stored in the transparent plastic bag 29. The pattern 30
The hook 31 provided on the is for hooking at a predetermined position when selling.

A broom 10 is provided with such a bag-shaped sweeping section 12.
In the case of mounting the broom 10 on the inside, first, the pattern paper 30 stored in the innermost side is removed, and the broom 10 is inserted into the transparent plastic bag 29 in which the pattern paper 30 was contained. Then, after this, the thread 32 is removed. The thread 32 is sewn downward from the upper end of the plastic bag 29, and the thread 32 closes the bottom of the plastic bag 29. Therefore, when the thread 32 comes off, the bottom of the plastic bag 29 is opened. Therefore, in this state, the plastic bag 29 is pulled out upward. Then, the broom 10 is stored in the bag-shaped sweeping section 12.

When attempting to insert the broom 10 directly into the bag-shaped sweeping section 12, the constituent material parts of the broom 10 project into the inside of the braided nylon braid 16 of the bag-shaped sweeping section 12, whereby the strands of wire are formed. Although the part cannot be smoothly stored in the bag-shaped sweeping part 12 due to breakage or resistance, the broom 10 can be smoothly inserted into the bag-shaped sweeping part 12 by using the transparent poly bag 29. Then, as shown in FIG. 1, the bag-shaped sweeping section 12 is attached to the tip of the broom 10.

5 and 6 show a second embodiment, which is applied to the brush 22. The brush 22 has a handle 23 and is covered with a bag-shaped sweeping section 24. As shown in FIG. 5, the bag-shaped sweeping section 24 is sized so that the tip of the brush 22 can be fitted thereinto, and the mouth section can be fastened to the handle 23 by tightening the string 25.

When the floor 22 is cleaned with the brush 22 having the bag-like sweeping section 24, the brush 2
Due to the elasticity of 2, the bag-shaped sweeping section 24 will be swept so as to adapt to small irregularities, and further, the electrostatic charge of the bag-shaped sweeping section 24 will also hold fine dust and prevent the dust from scattering. become able to.
Therefore, it becomes possible to perform cleaning gently without scattering dust in the air. Further, since the handle 23 can be used for cleaning, the back is not hurt and a relatively wide range can be effectively cleaned. Therefore, it is suitable for cleaning offices and classrooms.

[0021]

As described above, according to the present invention, the electrostatic bag-like sweeping portion is attached so as to cover at least the sweeping portion of the core material, and the handle is attached to the core material if necessary. It is about fixtures.

Therefore, it becomes possible to more reliably remove fine dust and the like, and it is possible to provide a sweeping tool having both a broom sweeping function and a mop wiping function. . Moreover, since the dust can be swept away without using water, the range of use is not limited.
By detachably attaching the bag-shaped sweeper to the core material, not only can it be washed and reused if it becomes dirty, but it can be replaced with another bag-shaped sweeper if it is damaged. It becomes possible to provide an economical sweeping tool.
