Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a dust remover according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a plan view showing a dust remover main body. In each of the drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes a dust collector according to the present embodiment. The dust collector 1 includes a dust removing main body 2, a handle rod 3 pivotally supported at the rear of the dust removing main body 2, and a handle. Rod 3
And a swinging rod 5 pivotally supported on the distal end side.

The dust collecting body 2 is formed in the shape of a square dish having an open front surface and an upper surface. The dust collecting body 2 has a front dust intake surface 6 inclined forward and downward, and is disposed lower than the dust intake surface 6. And a rear dust retaining portion 7. The dust retaining part 7 includes a broom 30 (FIG. 5,
6) and a size capable of accommodating the broom body 32 and the shaved body. Further, the rear upper portion of the dust removal main body 2 is formed into a concavely recessed shape, thereby forming a main body mounting portion 8 for mounting the broom main body 32 of the broom 30.

A pair of projecting arms 9, 9 are formed at the rear of the dust removal main body 2 so as to project rearward. Split shaft-like pivots 4, 4 are provided on the outer surfaces of these protruding arms 9, 9.
Are provided respectively. Further, a pair of projections 10, 10 are provided on the inner side surfaces of the tips of the projecting arms 9, 9, respectively. On the outer surfaces of the protruding arms 9, 9 located between the pivots 4, 4, and the projections 10, 10, locking projections 11, 11 for locking the gripping rod 3 in the upright position are provided, respectively. ing.

The above-described handle rod 3 is pivotally supported by fitting pivot holes (not numbered) of the legs 12, 12 to the pivot portions 4, 4 of the dust removal main body 2. The handle rod 3 is pivotally supported so that it can be turned between its standing position and the falling position, and can swing about 75 ° with respect to the dust removal main body 2. Further, the upper surface of the handle rod 3 is also formed in a concave shape so as to form a handle mounting portion 13 for mounting the handle 31 of the broom 30.

On the other hand, a swinging rod 5 is pivotally supported at the tip of the gripping rod 3 via a pivot shaft 15 so that it can swing about 60 ° with respect to the gripping rod 3. In this case, the swinging rod 5 can be omitted if the tip of the gripping rod 3 is formed in a fixed state in which the handlebar 3 is bent backward, but the swinging rod 5 can be omitted. This is advantageous because it can be made more compact. At the tip of the swinging rod 5, there is provided a hanging hole 14 through which a hanging string can be passed or directly hung on a wall hook or the like.

On the other hand, a pair of legs 12, 12 extend from the distal end of the handle rod 3. These legs 12, 12
Is formed in a curved shape along the outer shape of the main body mounting portion 8. Each component constituting the dust collector 1 is made of synthetic resin such as polypropylene, and is formed by injection molding. However, the material and production form of the dust collector according to the present invention are not limited to the above.

When using the dust collector 1 configured as described above, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the handle rod 3 is moved from the rearwardly lying position (indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 3). It is manually raised to a standing position (indicated by a solid line in the figure). Then, the gripping rod 3 falls in front of the locking projection 11, and
The front end face of the locking projection 11 and the rear end 16 of the main body mounting section 8 are locked at that position. Next, the swinging rod 5 is tilted backward with respect to the gripping rod 3, and the swinging rod 5 is tilted at an angle that is easy to hold by hand.

The dust collector 1 thus prepared is used for cleaning together with the broom 30, as shown in FIG. In other words, according to the dust collector 1, the swinging rod 5 at the tip of the gripping rod 3 is located at a high position when the dust D is removed, so that the user holds the swinging rod 5 by hand without bending the waist. Can work in a comfortable position.

By the way, the handle rod 3 is raised and the swing rod 5
Even when the camera is tilted backward (see FIG. 3), the position of the center of gravity of the entire dust collector tends to remain behind the dust retaining portion 7. However, in the dust collector 1, the legs 12, 12 are suspended right below the pivots 4, 4, and can support the entire body in an auxiliary manner. do not do. Therefore, another operation can be performed by releasing the hand in this state.

When the dust removal 1 is completed after cleaning, the left and right protruding arms 9, 9 are gripped inward (in the direction of the wide arrow in FIG. 4) with fingers to lock the handle rod 3. It is released. Next, the handlebar 3 is lowered to the dust-removal main body 2 to the original lying position. Subsequently, the swinging rod 5 is raised to be parallel to the axis of the handle rod 3. As a result, the dust removing main body 2, the handle rod 3, and the swinging rod 5 are deployed almost linearly in a side view, and the dust remover 1 returns to the compact state shown in FIG. Therefore,
The storage space for the dust collector 1 itself does not need to be large.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 6, the broom main body 32 and the shaved body of the broom 30 are housed in the main body mounting portion 8 and the dust retaining portion 7. Further, the handle 31 of the broom 30 is accommodated in the handle mounting portion 13 of the handlebar 3 and the protrusions 10 of the protruding arms 9, 9,
10 is engaged. As a result, the broom 30 can be attached to the dust collector 1 and handled as a set S. This set S is also compact. Therefore, compared to the case where the dust collector and the broom are separated, a large storage space is not required for the entire set S. In addition, it is not necessary to search for these individually at the next use.

When the lock is released and the handle rod 3 is lowered, the inner surfaces of the legs 12, 12 are engaged with the locking projections 11, 11, respectively.
Of the projecting arms 9, 9 to bend inward by interfering with the outer end of the arm. Thereby, the clamping force by the projections 10 and 10 is increased, and the handle 31 can be firmly held. Therefore, the mounted broom 30 does not easily fall off the dust collector 1.

In the dust collector 1 of the above-described embodiment, a shaft is used as the pivot on the dust collector main body, and a pivot hole is used on the handle rod side on which the shaft is fitted. Instead, a pivot hole may be employed as the pivot portion on the dust removal main body side, and a shaft fitted into the pivot hole may be provided on the handle rod side. Also, the handle 3 of the attached broom 30
The protrusion 10 for locking the lock 1 can be provided not on the dust removal main body 2 but on the handle rod 3 side, for example, on the inner surface of the handle mounting portion 13. Furthermore, the portion of the main body mounting portion 8 of the dust removal main body 2 in the above embodiment may be formed to be narrow, and the handle portion 31 of the broom 30 may be mounted and held at this portion.

[0021]

As described above, according to the dust collector of the present invention, the user does not need to bend his waist greatly by raising the handle bar and raising the handle position during use. Even people with low back pain can use it easily.
After use, when the handlebar is turned backward, the whole becomes substantially linear when viewed from the side, so that the storage space is extremely small without taking up bulk. Therefore, even when the storage space is small, such as in an apartment, there is no need to struggle to secure the storage space for dust removal.

In the case of a dust collector provided with a handle mounting portion for detachably mounting a handle portion of a broom at the rear upper portion of the dust removing main body or on the upper surface of the handle bar, the broom is moved to the upper rear portion of the dust removing main body. Alternatively, it can be integrally mounted on the upper surface of the handle rod.

According to the dust remover and broom set of the present invention, the dust remover and the broom can be integrated, so that it is not necessary to separately prepare the dust remover and the broom, and they can be stored or searched separately. You don't have to. In addition, since the whole set does not take up bulk, the storage is good.
