Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cleaning tool having an adhesive tape roll (adhesive tape cleaner), and more particularly to a cleaning tool attached to and used with an electric vacuum cleaner.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art An adhesive tape cleaner comprises an adhesive tape such as a gum tape used for packaging and the like which is wound in exactly the same way, and a typical example thereof is shown in FIG. That is, a tape-shaped base material 2 made of synthetic resin or paper
An adhesive tape 1 having one surface coated with the adhesive 3 and the other surface coated with a release agent 4 such as silicon is provided on a cylindrical winding core 5 with the surface coated with the adhesive 3 on the outside. It is equipped with an adhesive tape roll 6 wound around.

The adhesive tape roll 6 is used by rolling it on a surface to be cleaned, for example, a carpet. In actual use, the arm member 7 as a holding member is taken into consideration in consideration of its operability. Is used. Explaining in this example, the arm member 7 is composed of, for example, a column having a length that can be operated in a standing posture, has a grip 7a on its upper end side, and has a support shaft parallel to the surface to be cleaned on its lower end side. The support shaft 7b has a cylindrical support roller 8 rotatably mounted on the support shaft 7b. The support roller 7 is detachably inserted into the core 5 of the adhesive tape roll 6.

The adhesive tape roll 6 includes the arm member 7
When it is rolled on the surface to be cleaned, for example, on the carpet, and fine dust such as hair is captured by the adhesive force of the adhesive 3, and when the adhesive force of the adhesive 3 declines, it follows along a cut line (not shown). One roll is peeled off and a new adhesive 3 is exposed on the surface for use.

[0005]

According to this adhesive tape cleaner, the hair or the like on the surface to be cleaned which comes into contact with the adhesive 3 can be removed very neatly. , The adhesive force does not reach even the dust and dirt that entered deep inside, so it is left behind.

Therefore, such dust and dirt still rely on the suction of the electric vacuum cleaner, but in any case, whether the electric vacuum cleaner or the adhesive cleaner is used first. For complete cleaning, use an electric vacuum cleaner and an adhesive cleaner.
It had to be done once, which was troublesome and time-consuming.

The present invention has been made in order to solve such a conventional problem, and its purpose is to clean with an adhesive cleaner (or an electric vacuum cleaner) while applying an electric vacuum cleaner (or an adhesive cleaner), for example. Another object of the present invention is to provide a cleaning tool that can also perform the above.

[0008]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the invention of claim 1 applies a pressure-sensitive adhesive to one surface of a tape-shaped base material made of synthetic resin or paper and releases it from the other surface. Adhesive tape roll obtained by winding an adhesive tape formed by applying an agent on a cylindrical core with the adhesive application surface facing outward, and a cylindrical shape in which the adhesive tape roll is removably inserted into the core. A cleaning tool provided with an arm member that is rotatably held via a support roller is characterized in that the arm member is provided with a mounting means for a suction pipe of an electric vacuum cleaner.

According to this, the adhesive tape roll can be operated by an extremely simple operation. It can be attached to and detached from the suction pipe of the vacuum cleaner.

Further, the invention of claim 3 is characterized in that the attaching means is connected to the arm member through an elastically deformable intermediate arm such as a coil spring. This relay arm is preferably a coil spring, but it may be an elastically deformable synthetic resin pipe or steel material. According to this, when operating the suction pipe of the electric vacuum cleaner, the relay arm may be adjusted depending on the angle. Since the flexure of the vacuum cleaner causes the suction pipe of the electric vacuum cleaner to be used within a certain angle range, the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape roll is pressed against the surface to be cleaned with an appropriate pressure and is prevented from rising from the surface to be cleaned.

On the other hand, according to the invention of claim 4, a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape is obtained by applying a pressure-sensitive adhesive to one surface of a tape-shaped substrate made of synthetic resin or paper and applying a release agent to the other surface of the tape-shaped substrate. An adhesive tape roll wound around the core of the core with its adhesive-coated surface facing outside, and an arm that rotatably holds the adhesive tape roll via a cylindrical support roller that is removably inserted into the core. A cleaning tool provided with a member is characterized in that it is detachably connected to a suction nozzle of an electric vacuum cleaner via the arm member.

In this case, in the simplest case, as described in claim 5, the tip end portion of the arm member is detachably fitted into the insertion hole provided on the side of the suction nozzle. It suffices to hold the roll, and according to this, the adhesive tape roll rolls on the surface to be cleaned so as to be dragged by the suction nozzle.

According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape is obtained by applying a pressure-sensitive adhesive to one surface of a tape-shaped substrate made of synthetic resin or paper and applying a release agent to the other surface of the tape-shaped substrate. In a cleaning tool comprising an adhesive tape roll wound around the winding core of the pressure-sensitive adhesive coated surface outside, the adhesive tape roll is housed in a housing detachably connectable to a suction pipe of an electric vacuum cleaner. It is characterized by being held rotatably.

[0015]

According to this, the vacuum cleaner can be used as an adhesive cleaner by removing the suction nozzle from the suction pipe of the electric vacuum cleaner and attaching the housing to the suction pipe. In that case, the vacuum cleaner may be activated and its housing used as a suction nozzle.

That is, the arm member 10 is composed of a cylindrical rod made of metal, is inserted into the cylindrical support roller 8, and is bent at a substantially right angle from the support shaft 101 serving as its rotation shaft and one end of the support shaft 101. At least a half length of the adhesive tape roll 6 at the maximum winding diameter of the first bent portion 102, the end portion of the first bent portion 102 is substantially parallel to the support shaft 101, and The second bent portion 103 is bent in the same direction.

The second bent portion 103 has a length about half that of the support shaft 101, and an attachment means 12 for the suction pipe 11 is provided at an end of the second bent portion 103 via a relay arm 104. In this case, the relay arm 104 is composed of a coil spring of a predetermined length, and its axis is oriented substantially orthogonal to the support shaft 101 and extends outward (away from the support shaft 101).

The connecting portion between the second bent portion 103 and the intermediate arm (coil spring) 104 is not shown in detail, but in this embodiment, the end portion of the second bent portion 103 is bent at a substantially right angle. The structure is such that a connecting shaft is used, and one end of the coil spring 104 is fitted to the connecting shaft and fixed to each other with an adhesive.

Although a coil spring is used as the intermediate arm 104 in this example, an elastically deformable pipe material or steel plate made of synthetic resin may be used. However,
In the case of a steel plate, for example, a kerf is formed on the connecting shaft side of the second bent portion 103 described above, and one end of the steel plate is inserted into the kerf and the two are connected and welded, or You may make it connect with a steel plate only by welding or a screw.

Next, regarding the mounting means 12, in this embodiment, the clamp 1 which is always spring-biased in the closing direction and which can be opened and closed.

In this embodiment, a boss (not shown) is formed at the substantially outer center of the one gripping piece 132, and the boss has a coil spring. The end portions of 104 are fitted and fixed with an adhesive, for example.

According to this, the adhesive tape roll 6 can be detachably attached to the predetermined portion of the suction pipe 11 of the electric vacuum cleaner through the clamp 13. When the suction nozzle 14 is placed on the surface to be cleaned and is actually cleaned, the adhesive tape roll 6 is placed on the surface to be cleaned in consideration of the inclination angle of the suction pipe 11 and the length of the arm member 10. The contact position is set.

In this case, in this embodiment, the relay arm 1
04 is deformable and absorbs the change in the inclination angle of the suction pipe to some extent, so a strict degree is not required,
It is advisable to position it slightly on the suction nozzle 14 side. According to this, the adhesive tape roller 6 is pressed against the surface to be cleaned with appropriate elasticity, and rolls following the suction nozzle 14.

Therefore, hair or the like that cannot be completely removed by the electric vacuum cleaner is captured by the adhesive force of the adhesive tape roller 6, and it is not necessary to perform the cleaning by the adhesive tape roller 6 again after the conventional cleaning by the electric vacuum cleaner. , It only needs to be cleaned once. When the adhesive force of the adhesive tape roller 6 is weakened, for example, the clamp 131 is removed, the adhesive tape on the surface of the adhesive tape roller 6 is peeled off for one round, and then the adhesive tape roller 6 is attached again to the suction pipe 11 via the clamp 131. Just do it.

In the above embodiment, the clamp 131 is used as the mounting means 12 for the suction pipe 11, but it is C-shaped, and the opening is smaller than the diameter of the suction pipe 11,
In addition, an elastically deformable gripper having an inner diameter slightly smaller than that of the pipe 11 may be used. According to this, the opening is applied to the peripheral surface of the suction pipe 11, and is pressed in the direction orthogonal to the axis of the pipe to forcefully open the opening, so that the suction pipe 11 is operated by a so-called one-touch operation.
Can be attached to a predetermined part of.

As another example of the mounting means 12, a gutter member having a curvature that substantially matches the circumferential curvature of the suction pipe 11, and this gutter member is attached to the suction pipe 1 via a planar fastener.
1 may be attached. In that case, the attachment position can be adjusted by providing the planar fastener on the suction pipe 11 side in the axial direction.

A second embodiment is shown in FIGS. According to this, the first bent portion 102 of the arm member 10 extends straight, and the suction nozzle 14 side is provided with the connection hole 141 into which the tip of the first bent portion 102 is fitted. It is set up.

In this case, the first bent portion 102 and the connecting hole 1
In order to simplify the structure, it is preferable that 41 is a friction fit that does not come off with a slight pulling force, and according to this, simply inserting the tip of the arm member 10 into the connection hole 141 of the suction nozzle 14. The adhesive tape roller 6 can be attached to the suction nozzle 14, and the adhesive tape roller 6 rolls following the suction nozzle 14 as in the first embodiment.

As described above, when the arm member 10 is inserted and connected to the suction nozzle 14, the suction nozzle 14
It is necessary for the adhesive tape roller 6 to come into contact with the surface to be cleaned from the maximum winding diameter to the minimum winding diameter without being lifted from the surface to be cleaned.

The easiest way to do this is to set the first bent portion 102 to a certain length and use the bending thereof. However, as shown in FIG. 3, the first bent portion 1 is used.
It is preferable that the predetermined portion of 02 has an offset upward angle θ such that the adhesive tape roller 6 comes into contact with the surface to be cleaned with a slight pressing force at the minimum winding diameter. The length of the bent portion 102 can be made shorter, and the pressing force on the surface to be cleaned of the adhesive tape roller 6 in the maximum winding diameter state can be further eased. Depending on the case, a predetermined portion of the first bent portion 102 may be cut, and the elastically deformable relay arm (for example, a coil spring) described in the first embodiment may be interposed therebetween.

A bayonet connection structure may be adopted instead of the above friction fitting. Further, for example, a T-shaped flange having a certain area is formed at the tip of the first bent portion 102, and a planar fastener is provided between the flange and the suction nozzle 14 so that they can be detachably connected. You can also In any case, in the second embodiment, the first bent portion 102 is straightly extended. However, as in the first embodiment, the second bent portion 103 is formed and the end portion thereof is a suction nozzle. Of course, it may be connected to 14.

The housing main body 21 has a space inside which is large enough to accommodate the adhesive tape roll 6, and both side walls on the inner side of the housing main body 21 project into the core 5 of the adhesive tape roll 6 and have the same adhesive tape. Boss shafts 211 and 212 that rotatably hold the roll 6 are provided.

In this case, the boss shafts 211 and 212 are formed to have a smaller diameter than the core 5 of the adhesive tape roll 6.
Therefore, the adhesive tape roll 6 is allowed to move up and down by the difference in diameter. That is, the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape roll 6 is peeled off one by one as it is used, and its diameter is reduced from the maximum winding diameter to the minimum winding diameter. The diameters of the boss shafts 211 and 212 are relatively determined with respect to the winding core 5.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, one boss shaft 212 penetrates the side wall of the housing body 21, and a knob 23 is provided at the outer end thereof. That is, the boss shaft 212 can be retracted in the housing main body 21 by the knob 23, as shown by the arrow A, so that the adhesive tape roll 6 can be appropriately replaced.

According to the third embodiment, the housing body 2 having the adhesive tape roll 6 on the suction pipe 11 instead of the suction nozzle 14 after cleaning with an electric vacuum cleaner, for example.
By exchanging 1 through the insertion pipe 22, it can be used as an adhesive cleaner even though it is an electric vacuum cleaner.

In this case, the housing 20 is the suction nozzle 1
Since it is formed in the same manner as that of No. 4, it is possible to activate the electric vacuum cleaner and perform cleaning by the adhesive tape roller 6 and cleaning by the electric vacuum cleaner while cleaning by the adhesive tape roller 6.
