DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mop with a handle provided with a cleaning mop at the tip of the handle.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, a mop of this type with a handle is shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG.
A cleaning mop 124 is formed by implanting a thin string-shaped cleaning thread 126 made of synthetic resin or cotton in which a chemical solution or oil is infiltrated into the lower surface of the substrate 121. A mop 101 with a handle in which the tip is connected via a universal joint 123 so that the angle can be changed is known.

[0003]

However, in the above-described general mop with a handle, the cleaning mop connected to the tip of the handle has an oval shape or an oval shape substantially the same shape as the substrate. For example, there is a problem that it is difficult to enter a gap portion that is narrower than the width of the cleaning mop, such as a gap between the rear surface of the furniture and the wall surface, and there are many places that cannot be cleaned with the conventional patterned mop.

In addition, although the cleaning mop having an oval or oval shape has a large cleaning (wiping) area, dust and the like are concentrated on the peripheral portion of the cleaning mop. . Therefore, there is also a problem that the portion near the center must be replaced even when the cleaning power is still sufficient, which is uneconomical. In view of the above, the present invention has been proposed in view of the above problems, and can provide a mop with a handle that can easily clean even a narrow gap portion and that can effectively use the cleaning mop without waste. It is intended to do so.

[0005]

To achieve the above object, a mop with a handle according to the present invention comprises a handle and a cleaning mop connected to a tip end thereof through a universal joint. The mop has a substantially straight mop shaft and a cleaning thread implanted around the mop shaft.The middle portion of the mop shaft is rotatably connected to the bearing member, and the tip end of the handle is attached to the mop shaft. The universal joint is constituted by swingably connected in a direction orthogonal to the axis direction.

Further, the handle is characterized in that the length of the handle can be changed by attaching and detaching an auxiliary rod at an intermediate portion thereof, and the mop shaft can be detachably attached to the universal joint. .

The handle 2 includes a gripping member 5 located at the upper end, a joint-side member 6 connected to the cleaning mop 4, and auxiliary rods 7, 7 ... interposed between the members 5. The gripping member 5 is formed with a large-diameter gripping part 10 in which an engaging hole 9 is abutted on the upper half part of a main body 8 made of an aluminum pipe, and a male screw 11 for connection at a lower end (one end). Are formed to protrude.

The auxiliary rods 7, 7,... Are formed of an aluminum pipe having the same diameter as the aluminum pipe main body 8 of the gripping member 10, and the upper end (the other end) of the gripping member 5 extends from the lower end of the gripping member 5. A female screw 12 to which the protruding male screw 11 is screwed is formed, and a male screw 11 similar to the gripping member 5 is formed at the lower end (one end) thereof.

The joint-side member 6 of the handle 2 has a female screw 12 formed at the upper end thereof, and a forked member 13 constituting the universal joint 3 is fixed at the lower end thereof. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the male screw 11 and the female screw 12 of each of the above members are formed by firstly forming flange portions 14 having the same diameter as the outer diameter of the aluminum pipe at both ends of the aluminum pipe. A female screw 12 of a predetermined length having an opening on the flange portion 14 side
Is inserted, and the side portion of the aluminum pipe is caulked 16 to fix the cap 15 securely.

Next, one of the caps 15 fixed to both ends of the aluminum pipe is provided with a metal hexagonal hole formed to be longer than one female screw 12 and shorter than twice the female screw 12. The screw 17 is connected to the female screw 12 by the end 17a of the screw.
The screw 17 with a hexagonal hole is solidified by firmly screwing until it comes into contact with the bottom 12a of the screw. Then, this screw with hexagonal hole 1
The male screw 11 is formed at a portion where 7 protrudes from the female screw 12.

Thus, the male screw 11 of each member 5, 6, 7
When the female screw 12 is formed, only one type of die for forming the cap 15 can be used, the initial cost can be reduced, and the mounting operation can be easily performed without mistakes. It can be greatly improved. Further, in the case where the screw 17 with a metal hexagonal hole is attached to the female screw 12 as in this example, the screw 17 with a metal hexagonal hole is used as a reinforcing metal core at the connecting portion of the members 5, 6, 7. Since it acts, durability is also improved.

The universal joint 3 for connecting the tip of the handle 2 and the cleaning mop 4 penetrates the mop shaft 18 and rotatably supports the mop shaft 18, and a mop shaft of the bearing member 19. The projections 20 for rotation are formed on both side surfaces orthogonal to the projection 18.
Bifurcated member 13 of joint-side member 6 rotatably fitted to zero

The cleaning mop 4 attached to the tip of the handle 2 is formed as shown in FIGS.

That is, as shown in FIG. 6, a wire 21 forming a mop shaft is bent into a "U" shape, and a bearing member 19 constituting the universal joint 3 is provided at an intermediate portion of the wire 21 as shown in FIG. After penetrating and fitting the braid 25 to each of the bent portion 23 and each end 24 of the wire 21, the synthetic fiber bundle (for cleaning) cut inward into a “U” shape to a certain length The wire 21 is placed on the wire 21
When the distal ends 24 of the wire 21 are bent inward, the ends become a mop shaft 18 covered with a braid 25, and the synthetic fiber bundle 26 spreads radially around the mop shaft 18. The mop 4 is formed.

Next, the case of assembling and using the patterned mop 1 configured as described above will be described. First, the forked member 13 of the joint-side member 6 is rotatably fitted and connected to the bearing member 18 of the cleaning mop 4. Next, a male screw 11 projecting from the lower end is screwed into the female screw 12 at the upper end of the joint side member 6 to sequentially connect the plurality of auxiliary rods 7, and then gripped by the female screw 12 at the upper end of the auxiliary rod 7. When the male screw 11 protruding from the lower end of the member 5 is screwed, the mop 1 with a handle is assembled.

[0017] Such an assembled patterned mop 1
