DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Specific embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

A long rod-shaped gripping portion 3 is pivotally attached to a central portion of an upper surface of a cleaner head portion 2 which is assembled into a thick plate for slidingly moving a cleaning surface 1 such as a floor surface in any direction. The sheet body 5 covered with the bottom surface 4 of the cleaner head unit 2 is configured so that a dedicated sheet body 5 such as a nonwoven fabric to which dust is attached can be exchangeably covered and fixed to the bottom surface 4 of the cleaner head unit 2. A configuration is provided in which a fixing mechanism K is provided to be folded on the upper surface of the head portion 2 and to fix the folded portion 5A to the upper surface of the cleaner head 2.

The fixing mechanism K of this embodiment is constructed as follows.

A wide plate-like opening / closing portion 6 is pivotally mounted on the central side of the upper surface of the cleaner head portion 2 on both sides of the pivoting portion of the grip portion 3 so as to be able to open and close freely. Is raised and opened, and the folded portion 5A of the sheet body 5 is opened.
Is inserted, and the opening / closing section 6 is again closed downward by closing the opening / closing section 6 downward, so that the sheet body 5 can be clamped and fixed to the upper surface of the cleaner head section 2 by the opening / closing section 6.

In the present embodiment, a permanent magnet is mounted on the back surface of each of the opening and closing sections 6 in an exposed state to provide a magnet section 7. The magnet unit 7 is provided with a metal attraction unit 8 such as
The sheet body 5 is formed by the suction force of the
The folded-back portion 5A is held between the opening / closing portion 6 and the upper surface portion of the cleaner head portion 2 located below the opening / closing portion 6 by suction.

In this embodiment, the wide plate-shaped opening / closing portion 6 is provided.
The opening and closing portions 6 are provided with magnets 7 at the left and right sides thereof, and a locking portion 9 is provided at the center of the opening / closing portion 6 so as to abut and lock the folded portion 5A of the sheet body 5. An opposing engaging portion 10 such as a concave portion or a fitting groove with which the stop portion 9 is engaged is provided.

The locking portion 9 of the present embodiment forms a plate-like projection, and the tip of the projection is formed on the edge of the jagged uneven plate, and the plate edge bites into the folded portion 5A of the sheet body 5. It is configured to be locked. Further, since a plurality of the locking portions 9 are formed in parallel, the locking is effected so that the sheet body 5 is corrugated, so that the locking action is further improved.

Further, the opposed engaging portion 10 may be a simple concave portion or a groove portion, but in the present embodiment, the opposed engaging portion 10 is constituted by a similar plate-shaped projecting portion which meshes with and engages with the locking portion 9. Therefore, the locking force is further improved.

Therefore, when fixing the sheet member 5, the opening / closing portion 6 pivotally attached to the upper surface of the cleaner head portion 2 is raised and opened, and the sheet member 5 is located between the opening / closing portion 6 and the upper surface of the cleaner head portion 2. When the folded portion 5A is inserted, the opening / closing portion 6 is again folded down and closed, and the folded portion 5A is sandwiched, the magnet portion 7 opposed to the opening / closing portion 6 and the portion located below the opening / closing portion 6 is formed. This holding state is firmly held by the suction force with the metal suction portion 8.

Further, at the same time as the holding by the opening / closing section 6, the sheet 5
Since the folded back portion 5A is pinched and locked by the engagement between the locking portion 9 and the opposing engaging portion 10, the folded back portion 5A is suction-fixed in a state where it is prevented from being displaced.
The fixing strength is further improved.

In this embodiment, a number of raised protrusions 11 are provided at predetermined intervals on the bottom surface 4 serving as the cleaning surface 1 of the cleaner head 2, and the cleaning surface is provided via the sheet body 5. The ground contact portion 1 is configured not to be the entire surface of the bottom surface 4 but to be the top portion of the bulging projections 11 scattered in large numbers.

In the present embodiment, the raised convex portion 11 is formed by being integrally bulged from the bottom surface 4 of the cleaner head portion 2 into a round inverted shallow bowl shape by integral molding, and the raised convex portion 11 is gently formed. The convex-shaped convex portion 11 having the shape of a raised inverted bowl is formed into a rounded curved top portion, not an acute-angled top portion.

Therefore, the cleaning surface 1 is provided via the sheet member 5.
Since the portion that contacts the ground is not the entire surface of the bottom surface 4 of the cleaner head portion 2 but the top portion of the scattered raised protrusions 11, dust can adhere to the sheet member 5 over substantially the entire surface of the bottom surface 4 as before. As much as possible, the sliding resistance is reduced, and the sliding operation becomes smooth.

Therefore, the case where the cleaning surface 1 such as a floor surface is wet, has water droplets, or is moistened, for example, cannot be slid suddenly or requires a strong force as in the related art is reduced. It is an epoch-making wiping and cleaning tool that can slide smoothly and improve work efficiency.

Further, since the raised convex portion 11 is formed not as an acute angled top portion but as a rounded curved top portion, the sliding resistance is further reduced and improved, and the sliding resistance is further reduced in all sliding directions. Since the protruding projections 11 are formed side by side in a scattered state, sliding cleaning can be performed more smoothly without being unbalanced, and the effect of cleaning dust and the like can be improved.

In the case where the cleaning liquid is sprayed or dropped onto the cleaning surface 1 for wiping and cleaning, the sliding can be performed more smoothly than in the conventional example, and the wiping force of the cleaning surface 1 can be reduced by the unevenness of the raised convex portion 11. Since a change in strength is caused, the effect of wiping off dirt is also improved.

In the figure, reference numeral 12 denotes a finger through hole provided in the grip portion 3A at the tip end of the grip portion 3, 13 denotes a joint connecting portion of the grip portion 3, and 14 tilts the grip portion 3 in all directions. This is a pivotable pivot portion for freely pivoting on the upper surface of the cleaner head 2.

[0033]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, the folded portion of the sheet is inserted between the opening / closing portion and the upper surface of the cleaner head portion, the opening / closing portion is again lowered and the folded portion is sandwiched. Then, the sandwiching state is firmly held by the attraction force of the opening / closing portion or the magnet portion provided below the opening / closing portion, and the folded back portion of the sheet body covering the bottom surface of the cleaner head portion toward the upper surface side is formed. The fixing mechanism for fixing is an epoch-making wiping cleaning tool having an extremely simple configuration and a structure excellent in fixing strength.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the attraction force of the magnet portion is reliably exerted. In the third aspect of the present invention, the first and second aspects of the present invention are more reliably and favorably provided. This is a very practical wiping cleaning tool in which the above-mentioned functions and effects are exhibited.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, a predetermined portion of the folded portion of the sheet is locked at the same time as the holding by the opening / closing portion. The wiping cleaning tool is further improved in fixing strength because it is sandwiched and locked by engagement with the opposing engagement portion.
