Abstract

A cleaning appliance is worn on a hand to clean up an object. The cleaning appliance is in a shape of hollow ring which allows a user to wear on a hand, so as to achieve an object of cleaning through a movement of hand. The cleaning appliance is primarily made by a foaming material which is provided with a rough surface, thereby achieving an effective cleaning function through the rough surface of foaming material, upon cleaning with the hand.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

(a) Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a cleaning appliance and more particularly to a cleaning appliance which can be worn on a hand to clean up an object.
(b) Description of the Prior Art
Most of the ordinary cleaning appliances are in a shape of plate or lump, such as a sponge or a stainless steel brush, therefore they must be held in a hand to perform a clean-up operation. However, as they should be directly held by the hand during the process of clean-up, it is easy to cause the hand to be touched with an object to be cleaned and is easier to cause an injury to the hand. Accordingly, for most of users, wounds of various sizes can be created to the hands during the process of utilization, which is a major concern in safety.
On the other hand, there is a bathing appliance on the market, wherein it is made into a shape of glove, such that it can be completely worn on a hand of user to brush a body. Although this kind of bathing appliance can improve the aforementioned concern in the safety of holding the cleaning appliance with the hand, the bathing appliance should be worn on fingers one-by-one during utilization, and should be taken off from the fingers one-by-one after accomplishing the clean-up operation. Therefore, it will be rather inconvenient in wearing or taking off the appliance, and the process is rather troublesome.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Accordingly, the present invention is to provide a cleaning appliance which is in a shape of hollow ring, with the hollow part being provided for wearing on a hand of user, so as to achieve an object of cleaning through a movement of hand. The cleaning appliance is primarily made by a foaming material, and in particular, a residual foaming material from finishing. The foaming material is provided with a rough surface, therefore when the cleaning operation is performed by a means of the movement of hand, an effective cleaning function can be achieved through the rough surface of foaming material.
The primary object of present invention is to provide a cleaning appliance which is primarily in a shape of hollow ring, so as to enable a user to easily wear on exteriors of fingers, thereby allowing the cleaning appliance to perform a clean-up along with a movement of hand, through a simple action of wearing.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a cleaning appliance which is made by a residual foaming material in a process of finishing work, so as to achieve an eco-concept of waste recycling and to even enable a comprehensive utilization of foaming material.
To enable a further understanding of the said objectives and the technological methods of the invention herein, the brief description of the drawings below is followed by the detailed description of the preferred embodiments.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

FIG. 1 shows a schematic view of the present invention.
FIG. 2 shows a schematic view of a status of utilization of the present invention.
FIG. 3 shows a schematic view of a second embodient of the present invention.
FIG. 4 shows a cutaway view of a second embodient of the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a cleaning appliance 10 which is primarily made by a foaming material is roughly in a shape of hollow ring, wherein its center is provided with a hollow wearing part 11. As shown in the drawings, the hollow wearing part 11 can provide a user for wearing on four fingers 20, such that a thumb 21 is exposed out of the cleaning appliance 10, thereby achieving a clipping effect to the cleaning appliance 10 through the thumb 21 and the four fingers 20 to prevent the cleaning appliance 10 from being escaped, and enabling the cleaning appliance 10 to quickly brush on an object to be cleaned up, following a movement of hand.
It is worth mentioning that as the cleaning appliance 10 of present invention can be made by the residual foaming material after the finishing work, a center of foaming material can be dug into the hollow wearing part 11 if it is not hollow. As the foaming material is provided with a rough surface, it can enable a user to quickly wear on a hand, and can achieve an object of cleaning and brushing through a movement of hand.
Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, a rear end of cleaning appliance 10 can be further in a converging status, that is, the cleaning appliance 10 is gradually converged toward its rear side, whereas in the mean time, the wearing part 11 is also converging toward the rear side. In addition, the wearing part 11 also pierces through the cleaning appliance 10 (of course, the wearing part 11 can be also in a shape of countersink, that is, it does not pierce through the cleaning appliance 10; however, the present embodient shows that the wearing part 11 has pierced through the cleaning appliance 10), such that a converging part 12 at a tail end of wearing part 11 can be completely worn on the four fingers 20 through the converging wearing part 11.
It is of course to be understood that the embodiments described herein is merely illustrative of the principles of the invention and that a wide variety of modifications thereto may be effected by persons skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the following claims.

Claims

2. The cleaning appliance according to claim 1, wherein the wearing part is worn on four fingers of a hand of user.

3. The cleaning appliance according to claim 1, wherein the foaming material is provided with a rough surface.

4. The cleaning appliance according to claim 1, wherein a rear end of the cleaning appliance is further in a gradually converging status.

5. The cleaning appliance according to claim 1, wherein the wearing part pierces through the cleaning appliance.

6. The cleaning appliance according to claim 1, wherein the wearing part is a countersink.
