The second bonding portion 122 is configured as an assembly of bonding points (also referred to as “fusion points”) in which the fusion bonded portions extend intermittently along the front-rear direction of the cleaning body.

Further, the holding sheet portion 112 and the cleaning body sheet portions 116 and 116 are fused to each other by the third joint portion 123 in a state where the cleaning body sheet portions 116 and 116 are stacked on both surfaces of the holding sheet portion 112. It is configured to be bonded. The third bonding portion 123 is configured as an aggregate of a plurality of bonding lines (also referred to as “fusion lines”) in which the fusion bonded portions continuously extend along the front-rear direction of the cleaning body.

In the present embodiment, the fusion bonding by the first to third bonding portions 121 to 123 having the above configuration fulfills at least three functions. The first function (hereinafter also referred to as “first function of the joint portion”) is an insertion hole 115 that allows insertion of each holding body 142 in a desired form between the two holding sheets 114 and 114. It is assumed that the function is formed. The second function (hereinafter also referred to as “second function of the joining portion”) is performed by joining the holding sheet portion 112 and the cleaning body sheet portions 116 and 116 to each other on the holding sheet portion 112. The function is to form a brush portion having a desired shape composed of 116 and 116. The third function (hereinafter, also referred to as “third function of the joining portion”) is obtained by joining the holding sheet portion 112 and a part of the fiber assembly 117 of the cleaning body sheet portion 116 to each other, thereby forming a fiber assembly. The function is to prevent the free end 117 from being separated from the holding sheet portion 112 more than necessary. As for the joining form of the first to third joining parts 121 to 123 having the above configuration, a joining form such as adhesion, engagement, and sewing may be used instead of or in addition to the fusion joining.

Here, the first to third functions by the first to third joint portions 121 to 123 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

(First function of the joint)
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the first joint portion 121 and the third joint portion 123 of the present embodiment partition the right and left of the insertion hole 115 that extends in the longitudinal direction of the divided cleaning portion 124. By doing so, the first function of the above-described joint portion is achieved.

Specifically, the 1st junction part 121 is a junction part which divides the inner side (space part 125 side) of insertion hole 115, Comprising: The cleaning body front-back direction of cleaning object 110 (long direction of division cleaning part 124) It is set as the junction part extended to. The first joint 121 includes a joint line 121a, a joint line 121b, and a joint line 121c that are sequentially connected from the opening 115a side of the insertion hole 115 toward the cleaning body front end of the cleaning body 110. It is said. That is, in this 1st junction part 121, the continuous single line formed by these joining lines 121a, 121b, and 121c is formed. Among these, the joining line 121a and the joining line 121c extend linearly so as to substantially match the insertion direction of the holding body 142 into the insertion hole 115, and the joining line 121c is outside the joining line 121a (space portion 125). On the opposite side). And the joining line 121b is comprised as a joining line of the intermediate part formed in the inclination shape so that the edge parts of the joining line 121a and the joining line 121c may be connected.

On the other hand, the third joint portion 123 is a joint portion that divides the insertion hole 115 on the side opposite to the first joint portion 121 with the insertion hole 115 interposed therebetween, and is a cleaning body front-rear direction (divided) of the cleaning body 110. The joining portion extends along the longitudinal direction of the cleaning portion 124. The third joint 123 is disposed in order from the opening 115a toward the front side of the cleaning body 110, and is disposed inside the joint line 123a, the joint line 123a, the joint line 123b, and the joint line 123c. And a joining line 123d. In this Embodiment, it is comprised so that the continuous single extended line may be formed of the 3rd junction part 123 by the joining line 123a, the joining line 123b, and the joining line 123c. Note that, as necessary, the joining line 123a, the joining line 123b, and the joining line 123c may be configured to be separated from each other with a non-joined portion therebetween, or the joining line 123d may be omitted.

In the present embodiment, it is preferable that a predetermined relationship is established with respect to the dimensions of the first joint part 121 and the third joint part 123 having the above-described configuration. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, when the cleaning body 110 is not attached to the cleaning body holder 130, one of the first pair of left and right first joint portions 121 and 121 facing each other with the space portion 125 interposed therebetween is one first. The distance L1 between the bonding line 121c of the bonding part 121 and the bonding line 121c of the other first bonding part 121 is set to be larger than the distance L3 between the pair of left and right holding bodies 142, 142 (L1> L3). It is preferable. Particularly preferably, the dimension is set so that the distance L1 is 175 to 300% of the distance L3. At this time, since the pair of left and right first joint portions 121 and 121 define the inside of the insertion hole 115, the interval L1 related to the first joint portions 121 and 121 is the interval between the adjacent insertion holes 115 and 115. Is also defined. Therefore, the portion where the pair of left and right first joint portions 121, 121 is provided is a portion where the interval between the insertion holes 115, 115 is set wider than the interval between the holding bodies 142, 142, and this portion is the main part. In the present invention, the “expansion portion set so that the interval between the insertion regions adjacent to each other is wider than the interval between the holders adjacent to each other of the cleaning body holder” is configured. At this time, the insertion hole 115 includes a first insertion hole constituting portion 115b extending at a portion (extended portion) where the first joint portions 121 and 121 are provided in the insertion hole 115, and the opening 115a. And a second insertion hole constituting portion 115c that is connected between the first insertion hole constituting portion 115b and the opening 115a and extends in an inclined manner.

According to such a dimension setting, when the holding body 142 of the cleaning body holder 130 is inserted into the insertion hole 115 of the cleaning body 110, the entire cleaning body 110 (the holding sheet portion 112) according to the interval L3 between the holding bodies 142 and 142. And the cleaning body sheet portion 116) are gathered toward the inside of the cleaning body or the center of the cleaning body. And in the site | part (expansion part) in which the left-right paired 1st junction part 121,121 was provided, the fiber assembly of the division | segmentation cleaning parts 124 and 124 which mutually adjoin each other moves, and it divides | segments in the space part 125. Overlapping in the direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the cleaning unit 124 forms an overlapping region 119 described later. Thereby, it becomes possible to give a desired volume feeling by the divided cleaning parts 124 and 124, and even when the cleaning target inserted into the space 125 between the divided cleaning parts 124 and 124 is relatively small, A sufficient cleaning effect can be obtained by applying an appropriate pressure to the object to be cleaned.

In order to ensure such a cleaning effect, the two holding bodies 142 and 142 of the holder main body 140 having the above-described configuration are elastic materials that are elastically deformable in a separating direction that is separated from each other at least, and are typically flexible. It is preferable that it is made of a plastic material or the like having both properties and shape retention. As a result, the entire cleaning body 110 is reliably gathered to the inside of the cleaning body or the center of the cleaning body due to the shape retaining property of the holding body 142, and the object to be cleaned introduced into the space portion 125 depends on the flexibility of the holding body 142. It is wiped off reliably.

Further, by configuring the holding body 142 of the cleaning body holder 130 with a non-metallic material, the cleaning object inserted into the space 125 between the divided cleaning parts 124 and 124 is larger than the dimension between the holding bodies 142 and 142. Even in this case, it is possible to obtain a sufficient cleaning effect without the holder 142 damaging the object to be cleaned.

In the present embodiment, the relationship between the distance L1 and the distance L3 is set to L1> L3, and the center line (extension line of the space 125) and the third joint 123 in the front-rear direction of the cleaning body are further set. Is preferably set so that a relationship of (L1 / 2−L3 / 2) <L2 is established. In such a setting, when the holding body 142 of the cleaning body holder 130 is inserted into the insertion hole 115 of the cleaning body 110, the inner edge of the one divided cleaning section 124 (the edge on the space 125 side) This corresponds to a configuration in which the other divided cleaning portion 124 is not gathered beyond the third joint portion 123.

Therefore, according to such a dimension setting, it is possible to suppress an excessive volume feeling from being provided by the divided cleaning units 124 and 124, and the brush portions (the holding sheet unit 112 and the cleaning body sheet unit 116) between the divided cleaning units 124. ) Is entangled too much to prevent the shape from becoming unsuitable for cleaning.

(Second function of the joint)
Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, in the present embodiment, among the third joint portions 123 formed as a single extended line, the joint line 123a, the joint line 123b, and the joint line 123c are stepped from each other. The above-described second function of the joint portion is achieved by the configuration arranged in the above.

Specifically, the third joint portion 123 is a joint line extending linearly in the longitudinal direction of the divided cleaning portion 124 on the front end side of the cleaning body where the front end side of the holding body 142 is disposed when the cleaning body holder is mounted. 123c, a joining line 123b extending linearly in the longitudinal direction of the divided cleaning portion 124 on the cleaning body rear end side from the joining line 123c, and a divided cleaning portion on the cleaning body rear end side from the joining line 123b 124 includes a joining line 123a extending linearly in the longitudinal direction. And the joining line 123b formed between the joining line 123a and the joining line 123c is arrange | positioned rather than the joining line 123a and the joining line 123c on the cleaning body outer side (opposite side to the space part 125). In addition, the third joint portion 123 is configured such that inclined joint portions are interposed between the joint line 123a and the joint line 123b and between the joint line 123b and the joint line 123c, respectively.

According to such a configuration, the distance from the third joining portion 123 to the outer free ends of the holding sheet portion 112 and the cleaning body sheet portion 116 is such that the cleaning body front end side and the cleaning body rear end side are the cleaning body in the longitudinal direction of the cleaning body. It becomes longer than the central part. Thereby, when the holding body 142 of the cleaning body holder 130 is inserted into the insertion hole 115 of the cleaning body 110, the third joint portion 123 is a series of shapes formed by the joint line 123a, the joint line 123b, and the joint line 123c. Draws a gradual, convex arc toward the outside, and the entire cleaning body is rounded. According to such a shape of the cleaning body, the entire cleaning body is rounded to give the user a soft impression of the cleaning body, and to be a shape suitable for cleaning work or a shape that is easy to clean. It can appeal emotionally and is therefore effective in driving the user's willingness to clean.

Moreover, according to the 3rd junction part 123 of the said structure, the length of the fiber assembly extended to the outer side of the cleaning body from the 3rd junction part 123 of each division | segmentation cleaning part 124 is the cleaning body corresponding to the joining line 123a. The cleaning body front end side corresponding to the rear side and the joining line 123c is longer than the central part of the cleaning body corresponding to the joining line 123b. On the other hand, the length of the fiber assembly extending from the third joint 123 of each divided cleaning section 124 toward the inside of the cleaning body is the cleaning body rear end side corresponding to the joint line 123a and the cleaning body corresponding to the joint line 123c. The front end side is shorter than the central portion of the cleaning body corresponding to the joining line 123b.

According to such a configuration, the corner (corner) at the front end side of the cleaning body or the rear end side of the cleaning body has a relatively long fiber assembly and is soft to the object to be cleaned. Since the length of the fiber assembly extending toward the inside of the cleaning body on the front end side is relatively short, the insertion operation of inserting the object to be cleaned into the space portion 125 between the divided cleaning portions 124 and 124 becomes easy (the space portion). 125, the object to be cleaned is easily sandwiched).

In the present embodiment, it is preferable that a predetermined relationship is established with respect to the size of each joint line in the third joint portion 123 having the above-described configuration. Typically, the joining line 123a extends from the rear end portion of the cleaning body in a range of 15 to 30% of the divided cleaning portion 124, and is joined in the range of 15 to 30% of the divided cleaning portion 124 from the front end portion of the cleaning body. The line 123c is set to extend, and the joining line 123a and the joining line 123b, or the joining line 123c and the joining line 123b are configured to overlap each other in the direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the divided cleaning unit 124. be able to.

(Third function of the joint)
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, in the present embodiment, the second joining portion 122 joins the holding sheet portion 112 and a part of the fiber assembly 117 of the cleaning body sheet portion 116 to each other. The third function of the aforementioned joint is achieved.

Specifically, the second joint 122 is opposite to the insertion hole 115 with respect to the direction intersecting the longitudinal direction (front-rear direction of the cleaning body) of the divided cleaning section 124 (cleaning side) with the first joint 121 interposed therebetween (cleaning). It is a junction part arrange | positioned by the body inner side, Comprising: It is comprised as a junction part in which several junction points are scattered in the cleaning body front-back direction. In this configuration, the first joint 121 defines the space 125 side of the insertion hole 115, while the second joint 122 is closer to the space 125 than the first joint 121 of the divided cleaning part 124. It is set as the arrangement | positioning. At each joining point of the second joining portion 122, the holding sheet portion 112 and the fiber assembly 117 facing the holding sheet portion 112 are partially joined. This 2nd junction part 122 may be comprised by the 1 or several junction point as needed.

According to such a configuration, the second joint portion 122 prevents the fiber assembly 117 inside the cleaning body from being excessively swollen particularly during a cleaning operation in which the object to be cleaned is introduced into the space portion 125. It is possible to enhance the cleaning effect. In addition, the amount of the fiber assembly 117 that contacts the object to be cleaned inserted into the space part 125 between the divided cleaning parts 124 and 124 is suppressed, and the interference effect with the object to be cleaned is maintained, thereby cleaning. The holder 142 of the body holder 130 prevents adverse effects such as wrinkles on the object to be cleaned and maintains a comfortable contact sound when the holder 142 of the cleaner holder 130 contacts the object to be cleaned via the fiber assembly 117. It becomes possible to do.

The 3rd function of such a joined part by the 2nd joined part 122 is the space part 125 among holding sheet parts 112 besides composition which joins holding sheet part 112 and fiber aggregate 117 of cleaning object sheet part 116. Is cut into a strip shape in a direction intersecting with the longitudinal direction of the divided cleaning portion 124 (front-rear direction of the cleaning body), and the strip piece is made of material rigidity so as to exhibit the above-described interference effect. This is also achieved by a configuration that provides

In addition, regarding the 2nd junction part 122 of the said structure, it is the 2nd junction part on the opposite side to the insertion hole 115 across the 3rd junction part 123 about the direction which cross | intersects the elongate direction of the division | segmentation cleaning part 124, ie, a cleaning body outer side. 122 can also be provided. In this case, the second joint 122 prevents the fiber assembly 117 outside the cleaning body from being excessively swollen by the second joining portion 122, particularly during a cleaning operation in which the object to be cleaned is cleaned by the outer portion of the divided cleaning portion 124. By doing, it becomes possible to raise the cleaning effect of the cleaning object.

It is preferable that each of the holding sheet 114 and the top sheet 118 includes a plurality of strip pieces (strip portions) 114a and 118a cut in a zigzag shape on both ends in the left-right direction. In this case, the holding sheet 114 and the top sheet 118 are also referred to as strip sheets. The strip pieces 114a and 118a referred to here correspond to “divided pieces” in the present invention. The strips 114a and 118a having such a configuration are particularly effective as a structure having a high cleaning function that easily catches and captures dust and easily draws dust that has entered the recess. In addition, regarding the shape of the strips 114a and 118a, a single type or a plurality of types of shapes such as a zigzag shape, a straight line shape, and a curved shape can be used as appropriate. In the present embodiment, each of the strip pieces 114 a and 118 a is configured to extend in the longitudinal direction of the divided cleaning unit 124 (direction intersecting with the extending direction of the holding body 142).

Next, the configuration of the nonwoven fabric that forms the base sheet 113, the holding sheet 114, and the top sheet 118 and the configuration of the fiber assembly that forms the fiber assembly 117 will be described in detail.

(Configuration of nonwoven fabric)
As for the base sheet 113, the holding sheet 114, and the top sheet 118, a sheet-like nonwoven fabric typically made of heat-meltable fibers (thermoplastic fibers) can be used. Accordingly, the base sheet 113, the holding sheet 114, and the top sheet 118 are also referred to as “nonwoven fabric sheets”. Further, the base sheet 113 and the holding sheet 114 constituting the holding sheet portion 112 are a nonwoven fabric laminate in which a plurality of nonwoven fabric sheets made of nonwoven fabric are laminated, and correspond to the “nonwoven fabric laminate” in the present invention. This non-woven fabric is a sheet-like composition made by fixing or intertwining fibers by mechanical, chemical or thermal treatment, and includes thermoplastic fibers in part and is fused (welded). It is configured as a nonwoven fabric having a shape having a plurality of strips. As the thermoplastic fiber (hot melt fiber), polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, or the like can be used.

The nonwoven fabric is preferably composed of 10 to 100 g / m ² of thermoplastic fiber having practical strength. As this nonwoven fabric, those manufactured by air-through method, spun bond method, thermal bond method, spun lace method, point bond method, melt blow method, stitch bond method, chemical bond method, needle punch method, etc. should be used as appropriate. Can do. This nonwoven fabric corresponds to the “nonwoven fabric” in the present invention. In addition, in order to improve the sweeping-out function at the time of cleaning, it is preferable to use a highly rigid nonwoven fabric. Instead of or in addition to the non-woven fabric, a material obtained by processing a material such as urethane, sponge, woven fabric, net, or walif into a strip shape may be used.

(Configuration of fiber assembly)
On the other hand, the fiber assembly 117 is a single fiber structure made of fibers or a fiber structure in which fibers are aligned in the length direction and / or radial direction (twisted yarn, spun yarn, and a plurality of long fibers are partially connected. And the like, or an aggregate of the fiber structure, and is configured as a fiber aggregate that includes thermoplastic fibers in part and can be fused (also referred to as “welding”). The fiber forming the fiber assembly 117 is a structural unit such as a thread or a woven fabric, and is defined as a thin and flexible form having a sufficient length compared to the thickness. Long continuous fibers are long fibers (filaments), and short fibers are short fibers (staples). The fibers of the fiber assembly 117 are configured to extend in a long shape in a direction intersecting with the extending direction of the holding body 142, similarly to the strips 114a and 118a of the holding sheet 114 and the top sheet 118. The fiber assembly 117 is also referred to as a “fiber bundle” in which a plurality of fibers are formed in a bundle shape. The fiber assembly 117 here is a fiber assembly in which a plurality of fibers extending in the direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the divided cleaning portion 124 are assembled, and corresponds to the “fiber assembly” in the present invention.

In addition, in this Embodiment, although the case where the three fiber aggregates 117 are laminated | stacked in the laminated form is described, the number of this fiber layer can be made into 1 or more as needed. The fiber assembly 117 preferably has a surface structure of a predetermined plane or curved surface, and is configured as a three-dimensional shape having a certain thickness or a thin sheet shape. The “fiber assembly” here is typically made of polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), nylon, rayon, etc., and is practically obtained by opening the tow. An assembly of long fibers (filaments) is often used as this fiber assembly. In particular, it is preferable that the core portion is made of polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and the sheath portion covering the outer surface of the core portion is formed using a composite fiber of polyethylene (PE). The long fibers forming this fiber assembly preferably have a fineness of 0.5 to 66 dtex. In addition, each fiber assembly may be composed of fibers having substantially the same fineness, or each fiber assembly may include fibers having different finenesses. Moreover, when using the fiber containing a thermoplastic resin, it is preferable to use at least 2 or more types of resin of different melting | fusing point (For example, resin whose melting | fusing point difference is 20 degreeC or more).

Also, in order to improve the sweeping function at the time of cleaning, it is preferable to use a fiber assembly including fibers having high rigidity, that is, fibers having high fineness. In addition, the fiber assembly is preferably configured to have crimped fibers. In this case, it is preferable to use crimped fibers having 5 to 30 crimps per inch. A crimped fiber here is comprised as a fiber to which the predetermined winding shrinkage process was provided, and is set as the structure where fibers are easy to get entangled. When such a crimped fiber is used, the fiber assembly becomes bulkier than the state before the cleaning body holder is mounted, and further, a structure in which dust is easily taken into the crimped portion is obtained. This structure can be realized in particular by using crimped fibers formed from tow fibers. Further, it is preferable to use a fiber containing a dusting oil agent in order to reliably adsorb dust, dust, dust and the like.

As a fiber assembly, a flat yarn obtained by slitting a film into a tape shape and extending in the longitudinal direction, or a thermoplastic film resin called a split yarn is divided into a direction perpendicular to the orientation direction of the resin, and the fiber shape You may use what the obtained film was joined by mesh shape. Alternatively, as the fiber assembly, a bulky and low fiber density nonwoven fabric such as an air-through nonwoven fabric may be used.

Further, the type and number of components of the cleaning body 110 are not limited to the above example, and various selections are possible as necessary.

In the cleaning tool 100 having the above-described configuration, the state in which the cleaning body 110 and the cleaning body holder 130 are assembled to each other is referred to FIGS. Here, FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional structure taken along line AA of the cleaning body 110 in FIG. 1 and schematically shows the state before the cleaning body holder is mounted and after the cleaning body holder is mounted. FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional structure of the cleaning body 110 taken along the line BB in FIG. 1 and schematically shows a state before the cleaning body holder is mounted and after the cleaning body holder is mounted. FIG. 10 is a perspective view of the cleaning body 110 in a state where the cleaning body holder 130 is assembled.

As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, before the cleaning body holder is mounted, the distance L1 between the left and right insertion holes 115, 115 of the cleaning body 110 is equal to the distance L3 between the two holding bodies 142, 142 as described above. It is set to exceed. On the other hand, when the two holding bodies 142 and 142 are inserted into the left and right insertion holes 115 and 115, the pair of left and right divided cleaning portions 124 come close to each other according to the distance L3 between the two holding bodies 142 and 142. Transforms into As a result, after the cleaning body holder is mounted, the overlapping region 119 where the holding sheet 114, the fiber assembly 117, and the top sheet 118 are in surface contact with each other, or overlapped and entangled with each other in the opposed portions of the pair of left and right divided cleaning portions 124. Is formed.

Accordingly, at least the fiber assemblies 117 of the divided cleaning portions 124 and 124 adjacent to each other overlap each other, so that shape retention performance is imparted, the entire cleaning body 110 hangs down, and unnecessary gaps are formed in the space portion 125. Can be prevented. Further, the contact area between the cleaning target and the divided cleaning unit 124 can be increased by enclosing the cleaning target between the divided cleaning units 124 and 124, and the cleaning effect of the cleaning target inserted into the space 125 is enhanced. It becomes possible. Furthermore, by preventing an unnecessary gap from being formed in the space portion 125 and deteriorating the appearance, it is possible to appeal to the worker that the cleaning body 110 has a high cleaning effect, and the worker's willingness to clean It is effective to raise.

In addition, the divided cleaning parts 124 and 124 of the cleaning body 110 are formed into a sheet shape having a rectangular cross section at the time of purchase or before use. It is preferable that a bulky state in which the volume feeling is increased in the sheet thickness direction is obtained by being solved or fluffed. This unraveling operation may be performed before or when the cleaning body holder 130 is mounted on the cleaning body 110 or after the holder mounting the cleaning body holder 130 is already mounted on the cleaning body 110. May be.

In the present embodiment, the holding sheet 114, the fiber assembly 117, and the top sheet 118 in each of the divided cleaning units 124 are all predetermined junctions, particularly the long length of the divided cleaning unit 124 around the third bonding unit 123. It has the same length with respect to the direction intersecting the direction (direction intersecting the extending direction of the holding body 142). Therefore, when the divided cleaning parts 124 and 124 are opened and operated by the operator, each of the divided cleaning parts 124 has a cross section in a direction intersecting with the extending direction of the holding body 142 as shown in FIGS. It forms a bulky state that is substantially circular or elliptical. In this bulky state, the strips 114 a and 118 a of the holding sheet 114 and the top sheet 118 and the fibers of the fiber assembly 117 cross the longitudinal direction of the divided cleaning unit 124 (cross the extension direction of the holding body 142. ) In the radial direction with the third joint 123 as the center. Further, in a state where the two holding bodies 142 and 142 are inserted into the left and right insertion holes 115 and 115, the pair of left and right divided cleaning portions 124 are close to each other according to the distance between the two holding bodies 142 and 142. As a result, the holding sheet 114, the fiber assembly 117, and the top sheet 118 are in surface contact or overlapped and intertwined to form an overlapping region 119.

Moreover, as shown in FIG. 9, in the cleaning body sheet part 116 of the part which faces the space part 125 among each division | segmentation cleaning parts 124, a part of fiber assembly 117 of this cleaning body sheet part 116 is a 2nd junction part. Since it is joined to the holding sheet portion 112 by 122, even when a cleaning object is introduced into the space portion 125 during the cleaning operation, the fiber assembly 117 is prevented from excessively rolling up or down.

As described above, FIGS. 10 to 12 are referred to regarding the state of the cleaning body 110 in the process of mounting the cleaning body holder 130. Here, FIG. 10 is a plan view showing the configuration of the holding sheet portion 112 in the cleaning body 110 of the present embodiment, and the insertion is performed by inserting the distal end portions of the holding bodies 142 and 142 into the insertion holes 115 and 115. FIG. 11 is a plan view showing the configuration of the holding sheet portion 112 in the cleaning body 110 of the present embodiment, and the holding bodies 142 and 142 are further inserted from the initial insertion state of FIG. It is a figure equivalent to the made state. FIG. 12 is a perspective view showing the configuration of the holding sheet portion 112 in the cleaning body 110 of the present embodiment, which corresponds to a state in which the insertion of the holding bodies 142 and 142 into the insertion holes 115 and 115 is completed. It is a figure to do.

As shown in FIG. 10, at the initial stage of insertion when each holding body 142 is started to be inserted from the opening 115 a into the insertion hole 115, the distal end portion of each holding body 142 is based on the above-described dimension setting of the first joint portion 121. First comes into contact with the joining line 121b (slope) of the first joining portion 121. As the holding bodies 142 and 142 are further inserted, each holding body 142 is pressed against the inclined joining line 121b of the first joining portion 121 in the second insertion hole constituting portion 115c, so that the insertion holes 115 and 115 are formed. Move in directions close to each other. At this time, smooth sliding with respect to the 1st junction part 121 of each holding body 142 is attained by the inclination structure of the joining line 121b.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 11, when each holding body 142 is inserted up to the region (first insertion hole constituting portion 115b) in which the joining line 121c of the first joining portion 121 is formed in the insertion hole 115, The insertion holes 115 and 115 are compressed so that the distance between the joining lines 121c and 121c substantially matches the distance between the holding bodies 142 and 142. That is, the joint line 121b of the first joint portion 121 guides each holding body 142 to the region of the insertion hole 115 where the joining line 121c is formed, and facilitates the insertion of each holding body 142 at this time. Realize.

Then, as shown in FIG. 12, when the insertion of the holding bodies 142, 142 into the insertion holes 115, 115 is completed, the cleaning body 110 is related to the direction intersecting the longitudinal direction (the cleaning body longitudinal direction) of the divided cleaning portion 124. The width is narrowed toward the front end of the cleaning body. This makes it possible to clean the intricate portion using the cleaning body front end portion of the cleaning body 110 and to clean the entire cleaning body 110 by inserting it into a narrow gap. Further, as described above, the third joint portion 123 at the time of inserting the holding body has a series of shapes formed by the joint line 123a, the joint line 123b, and the joint line 123c, as shown by arrows in FIG. As a whole, a gentle circular arc convex toward the outside (opposite to the space 125) is drawn, and the entire cleaning body is rounded, giving the user a soft impression of the cleaning body. It is emotionally appealing that the shape is suitable for cleaning work and easy to clean.

In addition, as described above, the third bonding portion 123 includes the three bonding lines 123a to 123c having different extending positions in the direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the divided cleaning portion 124. The fiber assembly (brush part) has a fiber length or fiber amount that is lower at the front end of the cleaning body corresponding to the joining line 123c than at the central part of the cleaning body corresponding to the joining line 123b. Thereby, in the cleaning mode in which the object to be cleaned is sandwiched in the space portion 125, the fibers at the front end of the cleaning body do not interfere with the object to be cleaned, and the pinching operation of the object to be cleaned can be performed smoothly.

Further, the third joint 123 includes three joint lines 123a to 123c having different extending positions with respect to the direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the divided cleaning part 124, so that the fiber assembly outside the cleaning body of the divided cleaning part 124 is obtained. The fiber length or fiber amount of the (brush portion) is greater at the front end of the cleaning body corresponding to the bonding line 123c than at the central portion of the cleaning body corresponding to the bonding line 123b. Thereby, in the cleaning form which cleans the cleaning object through the surface of the cleaning body 110, the contact of the fibers at the front end of the cleaning body with respect to the cleaning object becomes soft.

(Other embodiments)
In addition, this invention is not limited only to said embodiment, A various application and deformation | transformation can be considered. For example, each of the following embodiments to which the above embodiment is applied can be implemented.

Although the portion 121 has been described, in the present invention, the shape and arrangement of the joint corresponding to the first joint 121, the inclination angle of the connecting portion, and the like can be appropriately changed as necessary. For example, a configuration in which at least two of the bonding line 121a, the bonding line 121b, and the bonding line 121c are disposed apart from each other, or a configuration in which portions corresponding to the bonding line 121a and the bonding line 121b are omitted can be employed.

Further, in the above embodiment, the shape and arrangement of the third joint portion 123 in the holding sheet portion 112 can be appropriately changed as necessary, such as the design specifications of the cleaning body 110.

Adopted every 124. Further, in the holding sheet portion 312 shown in FIG. 14, unlike the holding sheet portion 112 in FIG. 4, the bonding line 123a, the bonding line 123b, and the bonding line 123c are separated from each other with a non-bonding portion therebetween. The part 323 is adopted for each divided cleaning part 124. Even when the holding sheet portions 212 and 312 including the third bonding portions 223 and 323 are used, the same operational effects as when the holding sheet portion 112 including the third bonding portion 123 is used are obtained. In addition, each joining line 123a, 123b, 123c which forms the 3rd junction part 223 or the 3rd junction part 323 cross | intersects the said longitudinal direction besides extending linearly in the elongate direction of the division | segmentation cleaning part 124. It may be set as the structure extended linearly in the direction to perform, or the structure extended in the shape of a curve along the said elongate direction.

Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the cleaning body 110 which has the two division | segmentation cleaning parts 124 was described, in this invention, the number of the site | parts corresponded to the division | segmentation cleaning part 124 can also be set suitably in two or more ranges. Is possible.

Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the cleaning body 110 described the case where the cross section of each division | segmentation cleaning part 124 was substantially circular thru | or a substantially ellipse, in this invention, the said cross section is a substantially circle thru | or a substantially ellipse. For example, the cross section of the divided cleaning portion may be in the form of one or a plurality of sectors forming a part of a circle.

Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the case where the cleaning body 110 was comprised using a sheet-like nonwoven fabric and a fiber assembly was described, in this invention, it is a cleaning body by either one of a sheet-like nonwoven fabric and a fiber assembly. May be configured.

Moreover, in the cleaning body 110 of the said embodiment, although the case where the surface sheet 118 was included in each cleaning body sheet | seat part 116 was described, the surface sheet 118 was abbreviate | omitted as needed, such as a design specification change of the cleaning body 110.
