Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To use one face of a cleaner, when the other face is soiled by cleaning work, to reduce the frequency of work suspension for exchanging a sheet member, by composing a base body so that a number of sheet members can be attached onto a sheet retaining face equipped on the base body. SOLUTION: Every time a handle 2 is rotated by 90 deg., an engaging protrusion 2a1 and an engaging dent of a cylindrical part are engaged together to produce a click to enable a user to easily recognize the rotation angle of the handle 2 in this embodiment. After setting a position, the handle 2 is gripped by a hand putting the palm on the outer face 2b1, and, since the handle 2 is in a curved shape, the hand gripping the handle 2 is separated from a used part (in this case 8a) of a sheet member 8. Consequently even in a condition the surface part 8a of the sheet member 8 is pressed against a part to be cleaned, the hand gripping the holding part 2b does not touch the part to be cleaned to make the cleaner extremely easy to handle.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cleaning tool provided with a detachable sheet member, and more particularly to an improvement in its usability.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For cleaning relatively small places such as desks and tables, so-called handy type cleaning tools which are small and easy to carry are used. As this kind of cleaning tool, one in which a small base is fixed to the tip of a short handle and a wiping portion such as a brush or cloth is provided on the lower surface of the base is generally used. However,
In such a cleaning tool in which the wiping portion is fixed to the base body, when the wiping portion becomes dirty, there is a trouble that the cleaning work has to be performed, and there is a problem that the handling becomes troublesome. . For this reason, at present, a sheet member such as paper is used as a wiping portion, which can be detachably attached to the lower surface of the base body, and when the sheet member becomes dirty, it can be easily replaced with a new one. Some of them have been proposed.

[0003]

In the conventional cleaning tool in which the sheet member is replaceable as described above, the replacement of the sheet member makes it possible to use it in a new state, so that it is sanitary and can be stored. On the other hand, there is a problem that the sheet member must be replaced relatively frequently, and the work is interrupted each time, and the work efficiency is reduced.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and can reduce a reduction in efficiency due to replacement of a sheet member, and can always obtain good usability in a cleaning operation. The purpose is to provide cleaning tools.

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the present invention has the following configuration.
That is, the present invention includes a base body having a plurality of sheet holding surfaces, a rod-shaped grip portion having one end attached to the base body, and a sheet member mounted on the sheet holding surface of the base body. The state of attachment of the grip to the base body can be changed. In addition, it is conceivable that the grip portion can change a mounting position with respect to the base body in a rotating direction about a predetermined axis.
In addition, the axis may be set along the longitudinal direction of the base body, or may be set along a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the base body. It is also possible to change the mounting position in the rotation direction around each. In addition, the base body may have, for example, a sheet holding surface on both front and back surfaces, or may have a sheet holding surface at other locations.

In the present invention, since the sheet member is attached to a large number of sheet holding surfaces provided on the base body, if one surface becomes dirty by the cleaning operation, the other surface is used. Cleaning work can be performed. Therefore, the number of times the work is interrupted due to the replacement of the sheet member can be reduced, and the work can be performed efficiently. Further, if the sheet member has a single bag shape, the sheet exchange operation can be performed more quickly and efficiently. Furthermore, in the cleaning operation, if the mounting position of the grip portion can be changed and the mounting position of the grip portion is changed according to the position of the sheet to be used, the hand gripping the grip portion hits the cleaning location. Can be avoided, and good usability can always be obtained.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 to 3 are views showing a first embodiment of the present invention. The cleaning tool 1 shown in this embodiment is a so-called handy type cleaning tool that is suitable for cleaning relatively small places such as a desk and a table, and is easy to carry. That is, the cleaning tool 1 comprises a relatively short handle 2 which is easy to hold with one hand,
And a sheet member 8 mounted so as to surround the base body 3.

The base 3 is shown in FIGS. 1 (a) and 1 (b).
As shown in (c), the front surface portion 3a and the back surface portion 3b, which are the sheet holding surfaces, are formed symmetrically with respect to the plane F, and a convex portion 3d is formed at the rear end portion so as to protrude. A handle mounting portion 4 is fixed to the center of the rear end of 3d. The base body 3 is formed such that its thickness gradually decreases toward the front end and the side end, and a sharp ridge 3c is formed at the outer edge thereof. A projection 3d is formed at the rear end of the base body 3, and a cylindrical holding portion 4 is integrally fixed to the rear end of the projection 3d. As shown in FIG. 2A, a screw hole 4a1 is provided at the center of the bottom surface 4a of the holding portion 4.
Are formed, and engaging recesses 4b1 are formed on the inner peripheral surface 4b of the holding portion 4 at 90-degree angular intervals as shown in FIG.

The handle 2 has a curved shape,
At one end thereof, a cylindrical fitting portion 2a having an outer diameter capable of being rotatably fitted to the inner surface of the holding portion 4 is projected, and the outer surface of the fitting portion 2a is provided with the engaging member. Four protrusions 2a1 that can be engaged and disengaged from the mating recess 4b1 are formed at 90-degree angle intervals (see FIG. 3). Further, a screw insertion hole 2a2 is formed at one end of the handle 2, and a screw portion of the screw 6 inserted therein is screwed into a screw hole 4a of the cylindrical portion to thereby form one end of the handle 2. The part can be securely fastened and fixed to the base body 3. An annular locking member 5 made of a high friction member such as urethane foam is fixed to the outer surface of the convex portion 3a of the base body 3, and the upper and lower surfaces of the locking member 5 are fixed to the upper and lower surfaces. A locking groove 5a that extends linearly in the width direction (the direction orthogonal to the central axis L in FIG. 1) is formed.

On the other hand, the sheet member 8 is formed in a bag shape from a material that can easily take in dust and the like, for example, a nonwoven fabric, and has a size and shape that is in close contact with the outer surface of the base body 3. It is removable. That is, the sheet member 7 can be fixed by inserting the periphery of the opening into the locking groove 5a, and the sheet member 8 can be removed by inserting the periphery of the opening into the locking groove 5a. It can be easily done by pulling it out of. In the sheet member 8, reference numeral 8 a denotes a portion (front surface portion) held on the front side base holding surface 3 a, and 8 b denotes a portion (back surface portion) held on the back side base holding surface 3 b. , 8c denote portions (side edges) held on the side edges of the base body 3, respectively.

When the cleaning operation is performed by the cleaning tool 1 having the above configuration, first, the position of the handle 2 is set according to the position of the sheet member 8 before use. For example, when the front surface portion 8a of the sheet member 8 is used, as shown by a solid line in FIG. 1, the grip portion 2b of the handle 2 is set at a position 180 degrees different from the front side base holding surface 3a. That is, the outer surface 2b1 of the grip portion 2b of the handle 2 is set to face upward with the front side base holding surface 3a facing downward (shown by a solid line in FIG. 1B). This handle 2
Is set by loosening the screw 6 fixing the handle 2, rotating the handle 2 to a predetermined position,
Can be performed by tightening. In this embodiment, each time the handle 2 rotates 90 degrees, the engagement protrusion 2a1 of the handle 2 engages with the engagement recess 4b1 of the cylindrical portion 4, so that a click feeling can be obtained. Therefore, the user can easily recognize the rotation angle of the handle 2.

After the position is set in this manner, the handle 2 is gripped by placing its outer surface 2b1 on the palm of the hand. Since the handle 2 is curved, the hand holding the handle 2 is separated from the used portion of the sheet member 8 (in this case, the surface portion 8a) by gripping in this manner. Therefore, even when the surface portion 8a of the sheet member 8 is pressed against the cleaning portion,
The hand holding the grip 2b does not hit the cleaning location,
It becomes very easy to handle.

When the front surface portion 8a of the sheet member 8 is soiled by the work, the work can be continued by using the unused rear surface portion 8b. In this case, if the attachment position of the handle 2 is rotated by 180 degrees by attaching and detaching the screw 6, the hand holding the handle 2 does not hit the cleaning part as described above, and the same as when the surface portion 8a is used. Good workability can be obtained.

Further, when cleaning a small portion, the work may be performed by pressing the side edge 8c of the sheet member 8 against the cleaning portion. In this case, if the position of the handle 2 is set by rotating 90 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise from the position set when the front surface portion 8a or the back surface portion 8b of the sheet member 8 is used, the hand holding the handle 2 can be cleaned. And good usability can be obtained.

In the above-described embodiment, the mounting state can be changed by rotatably mounting the curved handle 2 to the base body 3. However, the second embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. It is also possible to attach the handle 12 as in the embodiment. That is,
In the second embodiment, one end of the handle 12 having a linear shape is perpendicular to the central axis L in the longitudinal direction of the base body 3 and parallel to the plane F with respect to the rear end of the base body 3. Screw shaft 13 and nut 14 screwed onto it
With this, it is swingable in the front-rear direction about the connection shaft 13. Therefore, when the front surface portion 8a of the sheet member 8 is used, the handle 12 is moved toward the rear surface portion 8b around the screw shaft 13, and when the rear surface portion 8b of the sheet member 8 is used,
The handle 12 is used by being moved to the surface portion 8a side.
According to this, the hand holding the handle 12 does not hit the cleaning location, and good usability can be obtained.
In FIG. 4, the same parts as those shown in FIG. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals.

In addition, the handle 2 is configured to be rotatable not only on one rotating shaft but also on two intersecting rotating shafts so that the position can be set in various directions. It is also possible to further provide a plurality of mounting portions for removably fitting one end of the handle 2 to a rear end portion of the base body 3 or the like, and to provide a mounting portion for the handle according to a used portion of the seat member. It is also possible to make a selection, and the present invention is not particularly limited to the above embodiment.

Further, in each of the above embodiments, the case where two sheet holding surfaces on the front surface side and the back surface side are formed on the base body has been described as an example, but the base body has three or more sheet holding surfaces. It is also possible to use Further, in the above embodiment, the sheet member is formed in a bag shape. However, a flat sheet member may be separately attached to each sheet holding surface, and the present invention is particularly applied to the above embodiment. It is not limited.

[0018]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the sheet member is attached to a large number of sheet holding surfaces provided on the base body, even if one surface becomes dirty by the cleaning operation. Then, the cleaning operation can be continued using the other surface, the number of times the operation is interrupted due to the replacement of the sheet member can be reduced, and the operation can be performed efficiently. In addition, since the sheet member is a single sheet member having a bag shape, the sheet replacement operation can be performed more quickly and efficiently. Further, at the time of the cleaning operation, the mounting position of the grip portion can be changed, and the mounting position of the grip portion is changed according to the position of the sheet to be used, so that the hand gripping the grip portion hits the cleaning location. Such problems can be avoided, and good usability can always be obtained regardless of the position of the sheet to be used.
