Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mop with which the corners of a floor or stairs can be surely cleaned. SOLUTION: A head 2 freely turnably attached to the top end of a handle 1 is constituted by successively providing a pair of supporting plates 10 and 10 while projecting them, and wiping members 3 are fixed to both the supporting plates 10 and 10. When the successively provided parts of both the supporting plates 10 and 10 are pressed onto the corner parts of the floor or the stairs, the wiping members 3 on both the supporting plates 10 and 10 are abutted to the corner parts. When the head 2 is moved in that state, the corner parts are surely wiped off.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a mop for cleaning floors, stairs, and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a mop for cleaning a floor or the like, a flat head is rotatably attached to the tip of a handle.
There is known a device in which a wiping member such as a brush or a nonwoven fabric is fixed to the head, and the dirt is wiped off by rubbing the wiping member against a floor or the like in a state where the handle is appropriately inclined with respect to the head.

[0003]

However, with the above-described mop, when cleaning the corners of the floor or stairs, the wiping member cannot be pressed efficiently to the corners, and the dirt cannot be sufficiently wiped off. Did not.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a mop that can reliably clean the corners of floors and stairs.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention has a structure in which a head rotatably attached to the tip of a handle is formed by connecting a pair of support plates in a mountain shape. Thus, the wiping member was fixed at the position.

In this mop, when the continuous portion of the two support plates is pressed against the corner of the floor or the stairs, the wiping members of the two support plates abut against the corners. The part can be reliably wiped off.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the mop according to the present invention has a structure in which a head 2 is attached to a tip of a handle 1 and a wiping member 3 is attached to the head 2.

The handle 1 has a connecting tool 4 at the tip end.
A forked piece 5 is formed at the tip of. A connecting piece 6 is inserted into the forked piece 5, and a pin 7 is provided at the tip of the connecting piece 6 so as to project to both sides. The forked piece 5 and the connecting piece 6 are connected by a bolt 8 and a nut 9, and the handle 1 is rotatable about the bolt 8 with respect to the connecting piece 6.

The head 2 has a pair of supporting plates 10 and
The support plates 10 and 10 are provided with a stay 11 between the support plates 10 and 10 at an angle of 0 °. The stay 11 is formed with three engagement holes 12 with which the pins 7 are engaged and guide holes 13 for guiding the pins 7 between the respective engagement holes 12. Both support plates 10,
It is located on the bisector of the angle made by 10 and on both sides of the line.

The wiping member 3 is made of a non-woven fabric, and each support plate 1
The head 2 is detachable from the head 2 by a hook-and-loop fastener 14 interposed between the head 2.

In this mop, when cleaning the corners of the floor or the stairs, the head 2 is moved while pressing the continuous portion of the two support plates 10 and 10 against the corners, and the wiping members of the two support plates 10 and 10 are cleaned. By 3, the floorboards and treadboards and the skirting boards and recessed boards are simultaneously wiped off.

In this case, if the pin 7 is engaged with the center engaging hole 12, the head 2 can be securely pressed to the corner, and the wiping operation can be performed easily.

On the other hand, when cleaning a flat part such as a floor, if the pin 7 is engaged with the engaging hole 12 located on the floor side, the head 2 moves stably without falling.

As described above, the position of the pin 7 is
, It is possible to adjust the balance between the handle 1 and the head 2 to be in an optimum state according to the cleaning place.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, in the case mainly used for cleaning the corners, the stay 11 is provided with an engagement hole located on a bisector of an angle formed by the support plates 10, 10. As shown in FIG. 12 is formed, and the pin 7 is preferably inserted into the engaging hole 12.

Further, as for cleaning the flat part of the floor as a center, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a support plate 1 along the floor surface is used.
A pair of brackets 15 and 15 are provided on the upper surface of the support plate 10 so that the support plate 10 is
An engagement hole 12 may be formed in the bracket 15 at a position closer to the side, and the pin 7 may be inserted into the engagement hole 12.

[0018]

According to the present invention, as described above, the head rotatably attached to the tip of the handle has a structure in which a pair of support plates are continuously connected in a mountain shape, and the wiping members are fixed to both support plates. Therefore, when the continuous portion of both support plates is pressed against the corner of the floor or stairs, the wiping members of both support plates come into contact with the corners, and the head is moved in that state to ensure that the corners are clean. Can be wiped off.
