Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To help a woven cloth be attached to or detached from a cleaner easily, without needing additional part, by providing a mating part easily attached to or detached from a joint of a holding plate and elastomer and by securely holding an end of the woven cloth in the mating part by means of elasticity of the elastomer. SOLUTION: A woven cloth 4 for cleaning is easily attached to a cleaner by pushing an end of the woven cloth 4 into a mating part 2a in a holding plate 2, after bending the woven cloth 4 with both ends projecting upwards in such a way to cover the lower side of an elastomer 3 with the woven cloth 4. The woven cloth 4 comes into contact with the lower side of the elastomer 3 over a wide area, and will not come off from the elastomer 3 under a shear force generated by friction between the woven cloth 4 and a floor being cleaned to work satisfactorily, because the end of the cloth 4 put in the mating part 2a is securely held by elasticity of the elastomer 3. The woven cloth 4 can be easily detached from the elastomer 3 by pulling it out of the mating part 2a.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, when a thin fiber cloth is put on and the grip is operated, the fiber cloth is clamped and removed on both sides of a holding plate of a cleaning tool for collecting dust on the floor surface. It is characterized by a structure in which a fitting portion that can be arbitrarily removed is provided, and the end portion of the fiber cloth is pushed into and fixed to the fitting portion.

That is, the present invention provides a cleaning tool including a handle, a holding plate connected to the handle, and an elastic body attached to the holding plate, and the fiber cloth is detachably attached to the elastic body. A structure is provided in which a fitting portion that can be arbitrarily removed is provided at the joining portion between the holding plate and the elastic body, and the end portion of the fiber cloth is sandwiched between the fitting portions by utilizing the elasticity of the elastic body. Characterize.

The elastic body is formed in the shape of a rectangular plate and the fitting portions that can be arbitrarily removed are provided at two places on each of the long sides of the rectangle, so that the fiber cloth can be stably attached to this portion.

The holding plate is formed by using a hard plastic material, and a frame-shaped convex portion is provided on the attachment surface to which the elastic body is attached.
By providing the elastic body with a groove that fits into this convex part,
The holding plate and the elastic body are attached in a stable state. Since the fitting portion that can be arbitrarily removed can be formed by reducing the wall thickness of the convex portion, no additional special member is required.

Since a slight gap is formed between the fitting portion which can be arbitrarily removed and the inner surface of the elastic body, when the end portion of the fiber cloth is pushed into this gap, the pushed portion is It becomes wrinkled and receives a weak clamping force due to the elasticity of the elastic body. At the time of cleaning, the fiber cloth receives a force that tends to shift due to friction with the floor surface, but since the elastic body is a rectangular plate shape, the contact area with the fiber cloth is large, and since it is bent on both sides, Even if the clamping force applied to the end of the fiber cloth is small, the fiber cloth does not shift during cleaning.

Since the fiber cloth is thus sandwiched with a weak force, it is possible to fix the fiber cloth very easily without pushing a large force when pushing it into the fitting portion. In addition, it can be easily detached by lightly pulling out the vicinity of the sandwiching portion.
