  • securing means may be provided by forming a cut-out 76, as shown in Fig. 13. With the cut-out 76, thin retaining strips 75 are separately formed in the resinous reinforcing plate 49. The individual retaining strips 75 are elastically deformable. Thus, the end portion 16b of the cleaning sheet 16 can be pushed into the cut-out 76 and retained by the retaining strips 75. Likewise, the other end portion 16a of the cleaning sheet 16 can be retained.
  • a soiled cleaning sheet 16 can be replaced by a new unsoiled cleaning sheet 16.
  • the components of the foregoing embodiments may be freely combined.
  • the support structures 22A of the first embodiment may be replaced by the support structure 22C of the third embodiment.
  • the support structure 22C of the third embodiment may be replaced by the support structure 22A of the first embodiment or the support structure 22B of the second embodiment.
  • the first and second plate members 23 and 24 may be integrally formed with the support members 34, 35, 44, 82, 83, 84, 85, 92 or the reinforcing plates 58, 59. In an alternative, they may be bonded through bonding means other than an adhesive.
  • the reinforcing plates are provided on the rear portions of the first and second plate members so that the rear portion of the first or second plate member can be stably lifted by the handle.
  • the plate member may be directly lifted up by the handle without the reinforcing plate.
  • the plate member may be lifted up by the connector provided on the front end of the handle, in place of the handle.
  • first and second plate members are not required to be elastic plates as a whole. As long as a portion of the plate member can be deformed to bend by the motion of the handle, as shown in Figs. 4, 5 and 8, the remaining portions of the plate member may not be elastically deformable.
  • both the first and second plate members are deformable.
  • the cleaning device of the present invention should not be limited to one to be used in combination with such a cleaning sheet.
  • the cleaning plate itself may have an ability to collect dust.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de nettoyage (20A), comportant un raccordement (31) sur l'extrémité frontale du manche (21) relié pivotant à des éléments supports (34, 35) au moyen de charnières (36, 37). Un premier élément plat (23) élastique et un second élément plat élastique (24) sont montés sur les éléments supports (34, 35) respectifs. Pour l'utilisation, une pellicule de nettoyage (16) est placée sur le premier élément plat (23) et le second élément plat (24). En levant le manche (21) tout en maintenant le second élément plat (24) en contact avec la surface du sol, on peut faire courber le premier élément plat (23). Le dispositif étant dans cette position, il est possible de nettoyer la surface du sol. Par contre, lorsque les éléments plats (23, 24) ne sont pas tendus dans cette position, il est possible de nettoyer un espace étroit.
