The long side direction of the cleaning body 140 substantially matches the direction in which the extending directions in which the plurality of fibers constituting the fiber assembly extend intersect.
次に図4~図7を参照しつつ、清掃体140について説明する。清掃体140は、拭き清掃において清掃対象である被清掃面上の汚れを掻き取る汚れ掻き取り機能を有するシート状の清掃体である。図5、図6に示すように、清掃体140は、平面視で長方形状に形成されている。清掃体140の長辺方向は、繊維集合体を構成する複数の繊維が延在する延在方向が交差する方向と概ね合致する。 (Configuration of cleaning body)

図4に示すように、清掃体140は、清掃体本体150と保持シート160を主体として構成されている。この清掃体140は、一回使用を目安とした使い捨てタイプのものや、清掃対象の被清掃面から除去したごみや埃を保持しつつ複数回の使用を目安として交換を行う使い捨てタイプのものであってもよいし、或いは洗濯などを行ったうえで繰り返し使用することが可能なタイプのものであってもよい。
As shown in FIG. 4, the cleaning body 140 is mainly composed of a cleaning body main body 150 and a holding sheet 160. This cleaning body 140 is a disposable type that is used once as a guide, or a disposable type that is exchanged using multiple times as a guide while holding dust and dust removed from the surface to be cleaned. It may be of a type that can be used repeatedly after washing or the like.
清掃体本体150は、いずれもシート状の基材シート151、繊維集合体152、清掃対象側シート153が積層されて接合されている。これら基材シート151、繊維集合体152、清掃対象側シート153は、平面視が同様の長方形とされ、いずれも清掃体140の長辺方向に長尺状に延在している。繊維集合体152及び清掃対象側シート153は、汚れ掻き取り機能を有する刷毛状部位を構成しており、いわゆる「刷毛部」とも称呼される。
The cleaning body body 150 is formed by laminating and joining a sheet-like base material sheet 151, a fiber assembly 152, and a cleaning target side sheet 153. The base sheet 151, the fiber assembly 152, and the cleaning target side sheet 153 have the same rectangular shape in plan view, and all extend in a long shape in the long side direction of the cleaning body 140. The fiber assembly 152 and the cleaning target side sheet 153 constitute a brush-like portion having a dirt scraping function, and are also referred to as a so-called “brush portion”.
図4に示すように、基材シート151および清掃対象側シート153は、長方形状の不織布で形成されたシートである。基材シート151は、清掃体140の短辺方向に複数のジグザグ状の短冊片151aが並列状に延在している。また、清掃対象側シート153は、清掃体140の短辺方向に複数のジグザグ状の短冊片153aが並列状に延在している。短冊片153aは、短冊片151aよりも幅が狭く構成されており、曲げ剛性が低くなっている。
As shown in FIG. 4, the base sheet 151 and the cleaning target side sheet 153 are sheets formed of a rectangular nonwoven fabric. In the base sheet 151, a plurality of zigzag strips 151 a extend in parallel in the short side direction of the cleaning body 140. The cleaning target side sheet 153 has a plurality of zigzag strips 153 a extending in parallel in the short side direction of the cleaning body 140. The strip piece 153a is configured to be narrower than the strip piece 151a and has low bending rigidity.
図4に示すように、繊維集合体152は、繊維による単一の繊維構造体や、繊維が長さ方向および/または径方向にそろった繊維構造体(撚糸、紡績糸、複数の長繊維が部分的に接続された糸材など)、ないし当該繊維構造体の集合体とされ、熱可塑性繊維を一部に含み融着(「溶着」ともいう)が可能な繊維集合体として構成されている。繊維集合体152を形成する繊維は、糸、織物などの構成単位であり、太さに比して十分な長さを持つ、細くてたわみやすい形態のものである。典型的には長い連続状の繊維が長繊維(フィラメント)とされ、短い繊維が短繊維(ステープル)とされる。
As shown in FIG. 4, the fiber assembly 152 includes 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. Partly connected thread material or 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 152 is a structural unit such as a thread or a woven fabric, and has a thin and flexible shape having a sufficient length compared to the thickness. Typically, long continuous fibers are long fibers (filaments), and short fibers are short fibers (staples).
この繊維集合体152の繊維は、基端側が中央溶着線170、溶着接合部171、172、173にて接合されるとともに、当該溶着接合部を固定端とし当該固定端と対向する側(先端側)を自由端として、清掃体140(或いは繊維集合体152)の短辺方向に長尺状に延在する構成とされる。この繊維集合体152は、複数の繊維が束状に形成された「繊維束」とも称呼される。なお、この溶着接合部171、172、173は、後述する通り保持空間180を形成する。
この溶着接合部171、172、173が本発明における「接合部」に対応する実施構成例である。 The fibers of thisfiber assembly 152 are joined at the proximal end side by the central welding wire 170 and the welded joints 171, 172, and 173, and the side facing the fixed end (front end side) using the welded joint as a fixed end ) As a free end, and the cleaning body 140 (or the fiber assembly 152) extends in the long side direction. The fiber assembly 152 is also referred to as a “fiber bundle” in which a plurality of fibers are formed in a bundle shape. The weld joints 171, 172, 173 form a holding space 180 as will be described later.
These welded joints 171, 172, and 173 are implementation configuration examples corresponding to “joints” in the present invention.
この溶着接合部171、172、173が本発明における「接合部」に対応する実施構成例である。 The fibers of this
These welded
なお、繊維集合体152は、三つの繊維層が積層して形成されているが、繊維層の数は必要に応じて1または複数とすることができる。この繊維集合体152は、所定の平面や曲面による面構造を有するとともに、ある程度の厚みを有する立体形状として、或いは薄肉シート形状として構成されるのが好ましい。繊維集合体152は、典型的にはポリエチレン(PE)、ポリプロピレン(PP)、ポリエチレンテレフタレート(PET)、ナイロン、レーヨンなどを材質とし、実用上はトウを開繊することによって得られる長繊維(フィラメント)の集合体が用いられることが好ましい。特には、芯部分がポリプロピレン(PP)或いはポリエチレンテレフタレート(PET)であり、この芯部分の外面を覆う鞘部分がポリエチレン(PE)の複合繊維を用いて繊維集合体が構成されるのが好ましい。また、この繊維集合体152を形成する長繊維の繊度は、1~50dtexのものが好ましく、更には2~10dtexのものが好ましい。また、各繊維集合体は概ね同様の繊度の繊維から構成されてもよいし、或いは各繊維集合体が異なる繊度の繊維を含む構成であってもよい。
In addition, although the fiber assembly 152 is formed by laminating three fiber layers, the number of fiber layers can be one or more as necessary. The fiber assembly 152 preferably has a planar structure with 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 152 is typically made of polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), nylon, rayon, etc., and is practically a long fiber (filament) obtained by opening the tow. ) Is preferably used. 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 made of a composite fiber of polyethylene (PE). The fineness of the long fibers forming the fiber assembly 152 is preferably 1 to 50 dtex, more preferably 2 to 10 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.
また、清掃時の掃き出し機能を向上させるためには、剛性の高い繊維、すなわち繊度が高い繊維を含む繊維集合体を用いるのが好ましい。また、繊維集合体は、捲縮繊維を有する構成されるのが好ましい。ここでいう捲縮繊維は、所定の巻き縮み処理が付与された繊維として構成され、繊維同士が絡み易い構造とされる。このような捲縮繊維を用いると、繊維集合体が清掃体ホルダ装着前の状態よりも嵩高となり、更に捲縮部分にごみを取り込み易い構造とされる。本構造は、特にトウ繊維から形成された捲縮繊維を用いることによって実現され得る。
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. 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.
清掃体140は、短冊片143を有する。
図6に示すように、保持シート160は、清掃体140の長辺方向において、基材シート151よりも長辺方向が短い長方形状の不織布で形成されたシートである。保持シート160は、清掃体140の短辺方向(長手交差方向X)に複数のジグザグ状の短冊片160aが並列状に延在している。また、基材シート151は、清掃体140の短辺方向(長手交差方向X)に複数のジグザグ状の短冊片151aが並列状に延在している。
すなわち、清掃体140における短冊片143は、保持シート160の短冊片160aと、基材シート151の短冊片151aとにより形成される。一方、清掃体140として短冊片143を有していれば足りるものである。すなわち、清掃体140の短冊片143としては、保持シート160の短冊片160aか、基材シート151の短冊片151aかのいずれか一方でも足りるものである。
この短冊片143、160a、151aが、本発明における「短冊片」に対応する実施構成例である。
なお、複数の短冊片143における長手交差方向Xの長さは、それぞれ同一のものである。 Thecleaning body 140 has a strip piece 143.
As shown in FIG. 6, the holdingsheet 160 is a sheet formed of a rectangular nonwoven fabric whose long side direction is shorter than the base sheet 151 in the long side direction of the cleaning body 140. In the holding sheet 160, a plurality of zigzag strips 160 a extend in parallel in the short side direction (longitudinal crossing direction X) of the cleaning body 140. The base sheet 151 has a plurality of zigzag strips 151a extending in parallel in the short side direction (longitudinal crossing direction X) of the cleaning body 140.
That is, thestrip 143 in the cleaning body 140 is formed by the strip 160 a of the holding sheet 160 and the strip 151 a of the base sheet 151. On the other hand, it is sufficient to have the strip 143 as the cleaning body 140. That is, as the strip piece 143 of the cleaning body 140, either the strip piece 160a of the holding sheet 160 or the strip piece 151a of the base sheet 151 is sufficient.
These strip pieces 143, 160a, 151a are implementation configuration examples corresponding to the “strip pieces” in the present invention.
In addition, the length of the longitudinal cross direction X in the plurality ofstrip pieces 143 is the same.
図6に示すように、保持シート160は、清掃体140の長辺方向において、基材シート151よりも長辺方向が短い長方形状の不織布で形成されたシートである。保持シート160は、清掃体140の短辺方向(長手交差方向X)に複数のジグザグ状の短冊片160aが並列状に延在している。また、基材シート151は、清掃体140の短辺方向(長手交差方向X)に複数のジグザグ状の短冊片151aが並列状に延在している。
すなわち、清掃体140における短冊片143は、保持シート160の短冊片160aと、基材シート151の短冊片151aとにより形成される。一方、清掃体140として短冊片143を有していれば足りるものである。すなわち、清掃体140の短冊片143としては、保持シート160の短冊片160aか、基材シート151の短冊片151aかのいずれか一方でも足りるものである。
この短冊片143、160a、151aが、本発明における「短冊片」に対応する実施構成例である。

基材シート151、清掃対象側シート153および保持シート160を構成する不織布は、いずれも典型的には熱溶融性繊維(熱可塑性繊維)からなるシート状の不織布が使用されている。すなわち、これら基材シート151、清掃対象側シート153および保持シート160は、「不織布シート」とも称呼される。なお、清掃時の掃き出し機能を向上させるためには、剛性の高い不織布を用いるのが好ましい。また、各シートの短冊片をジクザグ状とすることによって、ごみを引っ掛けて捕捉し易い清掃機能の高い構造が実現される。なお、短冊片の形状に関しては、ジクザグ状、直線状、曲線状などのうちの単一種類或いは複数種類の形状を適宜用いることができる。
As the non-woven fabric constituting the base sheet 151, the cleaning target side sheet 153, and the holding sheet 160, a sheet-like non-woven fabric made of heat-meltable fibers (thermoplastic fibers) is typically used. That is, the base material sheet 151, the cleaning target side sheet 153, and the holding sheet 160 are also referred to as “nonwoven fabric sheets”. 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. Further, by forming the strips of each sheet in a zigzag shape, a structure with a high cleaning function that can easily catch and capture dust is realized. In addition, regarding the shape of the strip, a single type or a plurality of types of shapes such as a zigzag shape, a linear shape, and a curved shape can be appropriately used.
図6に示すように、清掃体本体150と保持シート160は、清掃体140の中央部分を清掃体140の長辺方向に延在する中央溶着線170と、中央溶着線170の両側に位置する複数の円形の溶着接合部171、172、173にて溶着接合されている。すなわち、図7に示すように、清掃体本体150を構成する基材シート151、繊維集合体152、清掃対象側シート153の各シートと、保持シート160が、中央溶着線170において溶着接合されている。また、清掃体本体150のうちの基材シート151と繊維集合体152の一部と、保持シート160が、溶着接合部171、172、173において溶着接合されている。
As shown in FIG. 6, the cleaning body main body 150 and the holding sheet 160 are positioned on both sides of the central welding line 170 that extends the central portion of the cleaning body 140 in the long side direction of the cleaning body 140 and the central welding line 170. A plurality of circular welded joints 171, 172, and 173 are welded and joined. That is, as shown in FIG. 7, the base sheet 151, the fiber assembly 152, and the cleaning target side sheet 153 constituting the cleaning body main body 150 and the holding sheet 160 are welded and joined at the center welding wire 170. Yes. Further, the base sheet 151 and a part of the fiber assembly 152 in the cleaning body main body 150 and the holding sheet 160 are welded and joined at welding joints 171, 172, and 173.
以上の通り各シートが溶着接合されることによって、中央溶着線170と溶着接合部171、172、173との間には、清掃体140の長辺方向に延在する一対の保持空間180が形成されている。また、保持空間180における清掃体140の長辺方向の両端には、開口181それぞれが形成されている。この保持空間180が、本発明における「挿入部」に対応する実施構成例である。
なお、換言すると、保持空間180は、一対の溶着接合部171、172、173との間における保持シート160の所定領域と、基材シート151の所定領域とにより形成される。この内、保持空間180における清掃用具100の上側(図3の上側)に位置する保持シート160の所定領域を第1挿入領域180Aとする。また、保持空間180における清掃用具100の下側(図3の下側)に位置する基材シート151の所定領域を第2挿入領域180Bとする。この第1挿入領域180A、第2挿入領域180Bが、本発明における「第1挿入領域」、「第2挿入領域」に対応する実施構成例である。 As described above, a pair of holdingspaces 180 extending in the long side direction of the cleaning body 140 are formed between the center welding wire 170 and the welding joints 171, 172, and 173 by welding the sheets. Has been. In addition, openings 181 are formed at both ends of the cleaning body 140 in the long side direction in the holding space 180. This holding space 180 is an implementation configuration example corresponding to the “insertion portion” in the present invention.
In other words, the holdingspace 180 is formed by a predetermined region of the holding sheet 160 and a predetermined region of the base sheet 151 between the pair of welded joints 171, 172, and 173. Among these, a predetermined area of the holding sheet 160 located above the cleaning tool 100 (upper side in FIG. 3) in the holding space 180 is defined as a first insertion area 180A. In addition, a predetermined area of the base sheet 151 located on the lower side of the cleaning tool 100 (lower side in FIG. 3) in the holding space 180 is defined as a second insertion area 180B. The first insertion area 180A and the second insertion area 180B are implementation configuration examples corresponding to the “first insertion area” and the “second insertion area” in the present invention.
なお、換言すると、保持空間180は、一対の溶着接合部171、172、173との間における保持シート160の所定領域と、基材シート151の所定領域とにより形成される。この内、保持空間180における清掃用具100の上側(図3の上側)に位置する保持シート160の所定領域を第1挿入領域180Aとする。また、保持空間180における清掃用具100の下側(図3の下側)に位置する基材シート151の所定領域を第2挿入領域180Bとする。この第1挿入領域180A、第2挿入領域180Bが、本発明における「第1挿入領域」、「第2挿入領域」に対応する実施構成例である。 As described above, a pair of holding
In other words, the holding
複数の溶着接合部171、172、173は、清掃体140の長辺方向において、曲線状に列を形成するように配置されている。すなわち、開口181側の溶着接合部171は、清掃体140の短辺方向において、中央溶着線170に近接して配置されている。一方、溶着接合部172は、清掃体140の長辺方向における両端の開口181の間の中間領域182に配置され、溶着接合部171に比べて、中央溶着線170から離間して配置されている。溶着接合部173は、中央溶着線170からさらに離間して配置されている。これにより、保持空間180は、清掃体140の短辺方向における、開口181の断面積よりも中間領域182の断面積が大きい構成となっている。換言すると、保持空間180は、清掃体140の厚さ方向において、開口部181よりも中間領域182の変位量が大きい構成となっている。
The plurality of welded joints 171, 172, and 173 are arranged so as to form a line in a curved shape in the long side direction of the cleaning body 140. That is, the welding joint 171 on the opening 181 side is disposed in the vicinity of the central welding line 170 in the short side direction of the cleaning body 140. On the other hand, the weld joint 172 is disposed in an intermediate region 182 between the openings 181 at both ends in the long side direction of the cleaning body 140, and is disposed farther from the central weld line 170 than the weld joint 171. . The weld joint 173 is disposed further away from the central weld line 170. Accordingly, the holding space 180 has a configuration in which the cross-sectional area of the intermediate region 182 is larger than the cross-sectional area of the opening 181 in the short side direction of the cleaning body 140. In other words, the holding space 180 is configured such that the displacement amount of the intermediate region 182 is larger than the opening 181 in the thickness direction of the cleaning body 140.
溶着接合部の内、溶着接合部171は、保持シート160と基材シート151の境界に配置される。溶着接合部172は、清掃体140における第1清掃体領域141と第2清掃体領域142の境界に配置される。溶着接合部173は、第1清掃体領域141内に配置される。
Among the welded joints, the welded joints 171 are disposed at the boundary between the holding sheet 160 and the base sheet 151. The weld joint 172 is disposed at the boundary between the first cleaning body region 141 and the second cleaning body region 142 in the cleaning body 140. The weld joint 173 is disposed in the first cleaning body region 141.
(清掃体ホルダと清掃体の係合)
次に図8を参照しつつ、清掃体ホルダ110と清掃体140の係合について説明する。図8に示すように、保持部材131はそれぞれ、保持空間180に挿入が可能とされている。保持部材131が保持空間180に挿入されることで、清掃体140が清掃体ホルダ110に保持される。 (Engagement of cleaning body holder and cleaning body)
Next, the engagement between the cleaningbody holder 110 and the cleaning body 140 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 8, each holding member 131 can be inserted into the holding space 180. When the holding member 131 is inserted into the holding space 180, the cleaning body 140 is held by the cleaning body holder 110.
次に図8を参照しつつ、清掃体ホルダ110と清掃体140の係合について説明する。図8に示すように、保持部材131はそれぞれ、保持空間180に挿入が可能とされている。保持部材131が保持空間180に挿入されることで、清掃体140が清掃体ホルダ110に保持される。 (Engagement of cleaning body holder and cleaning body)
Next, the engagement between the cleaning
清掃体140が清掃体ホルダ110に保持されている状態においては、保持部材131が、長手交差方向Xに関して、第1清掃体領域141と第2清体領域142の双方に亘って配置される。
すなわち、保持部材131における基部132部分の端部と、先端部133とが第2清掃体領域142に配置される。そして、保持部材131における中間部134の内、特に第1最外部134Xを有する領域が第1清掃体領域141に配置される。 In a state where thecleaning body 140 is held by the cleaning body holder 110, the holding member 131 is disposed across both the first cleaning body area 141 and the second clean body area 142 in the longitudinal cross direction X.
That is, the end portion of thebase portion 132 portion of the holding member 131 and the distal end portion 133 are disposed in the second cleaning body region 142. Of the intermediate portion 134 of the holding member 131, the region having the first outermost part 134 </ b> X is disposed in the first cleaning body region 141.
すなわち、保持部材131における基部132部分の端部と、先端部133とが第2清掃体領域142に配置される。そして、保持部材131における中間部134の内、特に第1最外部134Xを有する領域が第1清掃体領域141に配置される。 In a state where the
That is, the end portion of the
この結果、清掃体140を清掃体ホルダ110に保持させた状態にあっては、短冊片143における長手交差方向Xの長さを異ならせることができる。すなわち、保持部材131が第2清掃体領域142に配置されている領域においては、短冊片143の長手交差方向Xの長さは、清掃体140に形成された短冊片143の長手交差方向Xの長さと同一である。一方、保持部材131が第1清掃体領域141に配置されている領域においては、短冊片143の長手交差方向Xの長さは、清掃体140に形成された短冊片143の長手交差方向Xの長さよりも短いこととなる。
As a result, when the cleaning body 140 is held by the cleaning body holder 110, the lengths of the strip pieces 143 in the longitudinal crossing direction X can be varied. That is, in the region where the holding member 131 is disposed in the second cleaning body region 142, the length of the strip piece 143 in the longitudinal cross direction X is the length of the strip piece 143 formed in the cleaning body 140 in the longitudinal cross direction X. It is the same as the length. On the other hand, in the region where the holding member 131 is disposed in the first cleaning body region 141, the length of the strip piece 143 in the longitudinal cross direction X is the same as that of the strip piece 143 formed in the cleaning body 140. It will be shorter than the length.
すなわち、保持部材131の第1最外部134Xが形成されている領域の短冊片143は、その他の領域における保持部材131が配置されている短冊片に比して、剛性を高めることができる。
なお、保持部材131の中間部134は、第1最外部134Xを極大値とする曲線状に形成されている。よって、清掃体140を清掃体ホルダ110に保持させた状態にあっては、中間部134の端部側短冊片143から、中間部134の第1最外部134X側の短冊片143に向かい、段階的に短冊片143の剛性を上げることが可能となる。 That is, thestrip 143 in the region where the first outermost part 134X of the holding member 131 is formed can have higher rigidity than the strip in which the holding member 131 is disposed in other regions.
Note that theintermediate portion 134 of the holding member 131 is formed in a curved shape having the first outermost portion 134X as a maximum value. Therefore, in a state where the cleaning body 140 is held by the cleaning body holder 110, the strip portion 143 of the intermediate portion 134 moves from the end portion side strip 143 toward the strip portion 143 on the first outermost 134 X side of the intermediate portion 134, In particular, the rigidity of the strip 143 can be increased.
なお、保持部材131の中間部134は、第1最外部134Xを極大値とする曲線状に形成されている。よって、清掃体140を清掃体ホルダ110に保持させた状態にあっては、中間部134の端部側短冊片143から、中間部134の第1最外部134X側の短冊片143に向かい、段階的に短冊片143の剛性を上げることが可能となる。 That is, the
Note that the
よって、ユーザは、高い剛性を有する第1最外部134X側の短冊片にて、被清掃面のゴミやほこりを容易に払うことができることとなる。
Therefore, the user can easily remove dust and dust on the surface to be cleaned with the strips on the first outermost 134X side having high rigidity.
次に、図9~図11に基づき、清掃体ホルダ110を清掃体140に挿入する際の動作につき説明する。
まず、図9に示すように、清掃体ホルダ110を挿入方向Y1に移動させる。そして、清掃体ホルダ110の先端部133を、清掃体140の開口181に位置決めする。
この際、一対の開口181の間における長手交差方向Xの長さは、一対の先端部133の間における長手交差方向Xの長さよりも短く形成されている。
よって、先端部133を開口181に挿入した状態で、清掃体ホルダ110を挿入方向に移動させると、一対の保持部材131がそれぞれ内側方向D2に湾曲される。 Next, the operation when the cleaningbody holder 110 is inserted into the cleaning body 140 will be described with reference to FIGS.
First, as shown in FIG. 9, the cleaningbody holder 110 is moved in the insertion direction Y1. And the front-end | tip part 133 of the cleaning body holder 110 is positioned in the opening 181 of the cleaning body 140. FIG.
At this time, the length in the longitudinal cross direction X between the pair ofopenings 181 is formed to be shorter than the length in the longitudinal cross direction X between the pair of tip portions 133.
Therefore, when the cleaningbody holder 110 is moved in the insertion direction in a state where the distal end portion 133 is inserted into the opening 181, the pair of holding members 131 are curved in the inner direction D2.
まず、図9に示すように、清掃体ホルダ110を挿入方向Y1に移動させる。そして、清掃体ホルダ110の先端部133を、清掃体140の開口181に位置決めする。
この際、一対の開口181の間における長手交差方向Xの長さは、一対の先端部133の間における長手交差方向Xの長さよりも短く形成されている。
よって、先端部133を開口181に挿入した状態で、清掃体ホルダ110を挿入方向に移動させると、一対の保持部材131がそれぞれ内側方向D2に湾曲される。 Next, the operation when the cleaning
First, as shown in FIG. 9, the cleaning
At this time, the length in the longitudinal cross direction X between the pair of
Therefore, when the cleaning
次に、図10に示すように、第1凸部137が溶着接合部171に当接する。この状態において、さらに清掃体ホルダ110を挿入方向Y1に移動させると、第1凸部137の第2最外部137Xを経過するまで一対の保持部材131がそれぞれ内側方向D2に湾曲される。そして、第1凸部137の第2最外部137Xが溶着接合部171を超えると、一対の保持部材131がそれぞれ外側方向D1へ復帰しようとする。
Next, as shown in FIG. 10, the first convex portion 137 comes into contact with the welded joint portion 171. In this state, when the cleaning body holder 110 is further moved in the insertion direction Y1, the pair of holding members 131 are bent in the inner direction D2 until the second outermost portion 137X of the first convex portion 137 has passed. And if the 2nd outermost part 137X of the 1st convex part 137 exceeds the welding junction part 171, a pair of holding member 131 will each return to the outer side direction D1.
ここで、図11に示すように、第1凸部137が溶着接合部171を超えた状態においては、一対の保持部材131における外側方向D1の復帰動作は、溶着接合部171により規制される。さらに清掃体ホルダ110を挿入方向Y1に移動させると、一対の保持部材131は、第1最外部134Xまでは内側方向D2に湾曲する方向に動作し、第1最外部134Xを超えると外側方向D1へ復帰する方向へ動作する。これに伴い、第1凸部137も同様の動作を行う。
すなわち、清掃体ホルダ110の挿入方向Y1の挿入動作に伴い、第1凸部137が溶着接合部171以外の溶着接合部172、173に接触する可能性を低減することができる。 Here, as shown in FIG. 11, in the state where the firstconvex portion 137 exceeds the welding joint portion 171, the return operation in the outer direction D <b> 1 in the pair of holding members 131 is regulated by the welding joint portion 171. When the cleaning body holder 110 is further moved in the insertion direction Y1, the pair of holding members 131 operates in a direction that curves in the inner direction D2 up to the first outermost part 134X, and beyond the first outermost part 134X, the outer direction D1. Operates in the direction to return to. Accordingly, the first protrusion 137 performs the same operation.
That is, with the insertion operation of thecleaning body holder 110 in the insertion direction Y <b> 1, the possibility that the first convex portion 137 contacts the weld joint portions 172 and 173 other than the weld joint portion 171 can be reduced.
すなわち、清掃体ホルダ110の挿入方向Y1の挿入動作に伴い、第1凸部137が溶着接合部171以外の溶着接合部172、173に接触する可能性を低減することができる。 Here, as shown in FIG. 11, in the state where the first
That is, with the insertion operation of the
また、清掃体ホルダ110が清掃体140に保持されている状態から、清掃体ホルダ110を引抜方向Y2へ移動させた場合には、上記の動作と逆の動作が行われる。
すなわち、清掃体ホルダ110の第2凸部138が溶着接合部171を乗り越えた後において、一対の保持部材131は、第1最外部134Xまでは内側方向D2に湾曲する方向に動作し、第1最外部134Xを超えると外側方向D1へ復帰する方向へ動作する。これに伴い、第1凸部137も同様の動作を行う。
よって、清掃体ホルダ110の引抜方向Y2の挿入動作に伴い、第1凸部137が溶着接合部171以外の溶着接合部172、173に接触する可能性を低減することができる。 In addition, when the cleaningbody holder 110 is moved in the drawing direction Y2 from the state where the cleaning body holder 110 is held by the cleaning body 140, the operation opposite to the above operation is performed.
That is, after the secondconvex portion 138 of the cleaning body holder 110 gets over the welded joint portion 171, the pair of holding members 131 operate in the direction of bending in the inner direction D2 until the first outermost portion 134X. If it exceeds the outermost part 134X, it will move in the direction of returning to the outer direction D1. Accordingly, the first protrusion 137 performs the same operation.
Therefore, with the insertion operation of thecleaning body holder 110 in the pulling-out direction Y2, the possibility that the first convex portion 137 contacts the welding joint portions 172 and 173 other than the welding joint portion 171 can be reduced.
すなわち、清掃体ホルダ110の第2凸部138が溶着接合部171を乗り越えた後において、一対の保持部材131は、第1最外部134Xまでは内側方向D2に湾曲する方向に動作し、第1最外部134Xを超えると外側方向D1へ復帰する方向へ動作する。これに伴い、第1凸部137も同様の動作を行う。
よって、清掃体ホルダ110の引抜方向Y2の挿入動作に伴い、第1凸部137が溶着接合部171以外の溶着接合部172、173に接触する可能性を低減することができる。 In addition, when the cleaning
That is, after the second
Therefore, with the insertion operation of the
つまり、本実施形態に係る清掃用具100においては、清掃体ホルダ110を清掃体140に挿入する場合や、清掃体ホルダ110を清掃体140から引抜く場合において、ユーザがスムーズな動作を行うことができるものである。
That is, in the cleaning tool 100 according to the present embodiment, when the cleaning body holder 110 is inserted into the cleaning body 140 or when the cleaning body holder 110 is pulled out from the cleaning body 140, the user can perform a smooth operation. It can be done.
また、本実施形態によれば、清掃対象側シート153の短冊片153aの幅を基材シート151の短冊片151aよりも小さい構成としているため、繊維集合体152の繊維が清掃対象側シート153の短冊片153aに絡み付き易い構造を実現することが可能となる。すなわち、清掃体140における清掃対象に対向する面の短冊片153aと繊維が絡むことにより、清掃体140の清掃対象に対向する側をよりボリュームアップすることになる。したがって、塵や埃を捕捉する清掃機能が向上する。一方、基材シート151の短冊片151aや保持シート160の短冊片160aは、清掃対象側シート153の短冊片153aよりも繊維集合体152の繊維に絡みづらくなっている。そのため、短冊片151aと短冊片160aは、繊維集合体152の動きとは独立して埃掃き出し機能を発揮することができる。
Moreover, according to this embodiment, since the width of the strip 153a of the cleaning target side sheet 153 is smaller than that of the strip 151a of the base sheet 151, the fibers of the fiber assembly 152 are the same as the cleaning target side sheet 153. It becomes possible to realize a structure that is easily entangled with the strip 153a. That is, when the strip 153a on the surface of the cleaning body 140 facing the object to be cleaned is entangled with the fibers, the side of the cleaning body 140 facing the object to be cleaned is further increased in volume. Therefore, the cleaning function for capturing dust and dust is improved. On the other hand, the strip pieces 151 a of the base sheet 151 and the strip pieces 160 a of the holding sheet 160 are less entangled with the fibers of the fiber assembly 152 than the strip pieces 153 a of the cleaning target side sheet 153. Therefore, the strip piece 151 a and the strip piece 160 a can exhibit a dust sweeping function independently of the movement of the fiber assembly 152.
なお、本実施形態では、溶着接合部171、172、173は、中央溶着線170に対して対称に配置されているだけでなく、中央溶着線170の中心を通り、中央溶着線170に垂直な直線に対しても対称に配置されていることが好ましい。このような構成によれば、いずれの開口181からでも保持部材131を保持空間180に挿入させることができる。
In the present embodiment, the weld joints 171, 172, and 173 are not only arranged symmetrically with respect to the central weld line 170 but also pass through the center of the central weld line 170 and are perpendicular to the central weld line 170. It is preferable that they are arranged symmetrically with respect to the straight line. According to such a configuration, the holding member 131 can be inserted into the holding space 180 from any opening 181.
なお、本発明は上記の実施の形態のみに限定されるものではなく、種々の応用や変形が考えられる。例えば、上記実施形態を応用した次の各変形例を実施することもできる。

次に、図12~図14に基づき第1変形例を説明する。なお、第1変形例に係る清掃用具は、第1の実施形態の清掃用具100に比して、清掃体ホルダ110における清掃体保持部130の構成が異なるものである。 (First modification)
Next, a first modification will be described based on FIGS. In addition, the cleaning tool which concerns on a 1st modification differs in the structure of the cleaning body holding |maintenance part 130 in the cleaning body holder 110 compared with the cleaning tool 100 of 1st Embodiment.
次に、図12~図14に基づき第1変形例を説明する。なお、第1変形例に係る清掃用具は、第1の実施形態の清掃用具100に比して、清掃体ホルダ110における清掃体保持部130の構成が異なるものである。 (First modification)
Next, a first modification will be described based on FIGS. In addition, the cleaning tool which concerns on a 1st modification differs in the structure of the cleaning body holding |
つまり、第1変形例における清掃体保持部130の中間部134は、第1弾性部材135と第2弾性部材136で構成されている。すなわち、第1弾性部材135と第2弾性部材136は、基部132側と先端部133側で互いに連結されている。そして、基部132と先端部133の中間部分の領域においては、第1弾性部材135と第2弾性部材136が互いに離間するように構成されている。図13に示すように、第1弾性部材135は、基部132と先端部133の中間部分の領域において、基部132と先端部133より清掃体ホルダ110の下方(図13の下方)に突出している。一方、第2弾性部材136は、当該領域において、基部132と先端部133より清掃体ホルダ110の上方(図13の上方)に突出している。
That is, the intermediate part 134 of the cleaning body holding part 130 in the first modified example includes the first elastic member 135 and the second elastic member 136. That is, the first elastic member 135 and the second elastic member 136 are connected to each other on the base 132 side and the distal end 133 side. And in the area | region of the intermediate part of the base 132 and the front-end | tip part 133, it is comprised so that the 1st elastic member 135 and the 2nd elastic member 136 may mutually space apart. As shown in FIG. 13, the first elastic member 135 protrudes below the cleaning body holder 110 (downward in FIG. 13) from the base portion 132 and the distal end portion 133 in the region between the base portion 132 and the distal end portion 133. . On the other hand, the second elastic member 136 protrudes above the cleaning body holder 110 (upward in FIG. 13) from the base portion 132 and the tip end portion 133 in the region.
また、図12に示すように、一方の保持部材131の第1弾性部材135と、他方の保持部材131の第1弾性部材135は、基部132と先端部133の中間部分の領域において、互いに近接するように配置されている。また、一方の保持部材131の第2弾性部材136と、他方の保持部材131の第2弾性部材136は、当該領域において、互いに離間するように配置されている。
In addition, as shown in FIG. 12, the first elastic member 135 of one holding member 131 and the first elastic member 135 of the other holding member 131 are close to each other in the region between the base portion 132 and the distal end portion 133. Are arranged to be. In addition, the second elastic member 136 of one holding member 131 and the second elastic member 136 of the other holding member 131 are arranged so as to be separated from each other in the region.
以上のように構成された中間部134は、1つの保持部材131を構成する第1弾性部材135と第2弾性部材136が、基部132と先端部133の中間部分の領域において、清掃体ホルダ110の上下方向および左右方向において最も離間するように配置されている。これらの離間距離は、図12における清掃体ホルダ110の左右方向離間距離Wおよび、図13における清掃ホルダ110の上下方向離間距離Dで示される。第1弾性部材135、第2弾性部材136は、樹脂材料で成型されているため、弾性変形によって、清掃体ホルダ110の上下方向および左右方向に撓むように構成されている。なお、清掃体ホルダ110の上下方向における上下方向離間距離D、すなわち、清掃体ホルダ110の初期状態における上下方向離間距離Dは、第1弾性部材135と第2弾性部材136を弾性変形によって上下方向に近接させた状態における第1弾性部材135と第2弾性部材136の距離に対する比率が250%以上であることが好ましい。
The intermediate portion 134 configured as described above is configured so that the first elastic member 135 and the second elastic member 136 constituting one holding member 131 are in the region of the intermediate portion between the base portion 132 and the distal end portion 133. Are arranged so as to be most separated in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction. These separation distances are indicated by a separation distance W in the horizontal direction of the cleaning body holder 110 in FIG. 12 and a separation distance D in the vertical direction of the cleaning holder 110 in FIG. Since the first elastic member 135 and the second elastic member 136 are molded of a resin material, the first elastic member 135 and the second elastic member 136 are configured to bend in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction of the cleaning body holder 110 by elastic deformation. Note that the vertical separation distance D in the vertical direction of the cleaning body holder 110, that is, the vertical separation distance D in the initial state of the cleaning body holder 110 is the vertical direction by elastically deforming the first elastic member 135 and the second elastic member 136. It is preferable that the ratio of the first elastic member 135 and the second elastic member 136 to the distance between the first elastic member 135 and the second elastic member 136 is 250% or more.
図12に示すように、第2弾性部材136の側面には、凸部137、138が形成されている。すなわち、第2弾性部材136の先端部133側には、凸部137が形成されており、第2弾性部材136の基部132側には、凸部138が形成されている。これらの凸部137、138は、平面視で半円状に形成されている。
As shown in FIG. 12, convex portions 137 and 138 are formed on the side surface of the second elastic member 136. That is, a convex portion 137 is formed on the distal end 133 side of the second elastic member 136, and a convex portion 138 is formed on the base 132 side of the second elastic member 136. These convex portions 137 and 138 are formed in a semicircular shape in plan view.
次に図14を参照しつつ、清掃体ホルダ110と清掃体140の係合について説明する。
保持空間180の開口181の幅は、第1保持部材135と第2保持部材136の左右方向離間距離Wまたは上下方向離間距離Dのうちの大きい方よりも、小さく形成されている。そのため、保持部材131を保持空間180に挿入する過程において、第1弾性部材135と第2保持部材136は、開口181を通過する際に、互いに近接するように弾性変形する。 Next, the engagement between the cleaningbody holder 110 and the cleaning body 140 will be described with reference to FIG.
The width of theopening 181 of the holding space 180 is formed to be smaller than the larger one of the left-right direction separation distance W and the up-down direction separation distance D of the first holding member 135 and the second holding member 136. Therefore, in the process of inserting the holding member 131 into the holding space 180, the first elastic member 135 and the second holding member 136 are elastically deformed so as to be close to each other when passing through the opening 181.
保持空間180の開口181の幅は、第1保持部材135と第2保持部材136の左右方向離間距離Wまたは上下方向離間距離Dのうちの大きい方よりも、小さく形成されている。そのため、保持部材131を保持空間180に挿入する過程において、第1弾性部材135と第2保持部材136は、開口181を通過する際に、互いに近接するように弾性変形する。 Next, the engagement between the cleaning
The width of the
第1弾性部材135と第2弾性部材136が開口181を通過した後は、復元力により、第1弾性部材135と第2弾性部材136は、基部132と先端部133の中間領域において、互いに離れる方向に変形する。すなわち、初期状態に戻るように変形する。これにより、図14に示すように、保持空間180が、第1弾性部材135と第2弾性部材136によって上下方向に拡張される。
After the first elastic member 135 and the second elastic member 136 pass through the opening 181, the first elastic member 135 and the second elastic member 136 are separated from each other in the intermediate region between the base portion 132 and the distal end portion 133 due to the restoring force. Deform in the direction. That is, it is deformed to return to the initial state. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 14, the holding space 180 is expanded in the vertical direction by the first elastic member 135 and the second elastic member 136.
保持空間180への保持部材131の挿入が完了すると、凸部137、138が溶着接合部172の間に保持される。また、図14に示すように、第1弾性部材135と第2弾性部材136の復元力によって、第1弾性部材135は、保持シート160を上方に押し上げ、第2弾性部材136は、基材シート151を下方に押し下げる。これにより、保持空間180内において、保持部材131が中間領域182に係合される。このとき、押え板139が清掃体140を上方から押えつけるとともに、押え板139の下面に設けられた係止突部(図示省略)が清掃体140の抜け止めとして作用する。これにより、清掃体140が清掃体保持部131によって確実に保持される。なお、保持部材130は、清掃体140の両端に形成されたいずれの開口181から保持空間180に挿入させてもよい。
When the insertion of the holding member 131 into the holding space 180 is completed, the convex portions 137 and 138 are held between the welded joint portions 172. As shown in FIG. 14, the first elastic member 135 pushes the holding sheet 160 upward by the restoring force of the first elastic member 135 and the second elastic member 136, and the second elastic member 136 is a base sheet. Press 151 down. Thereby, the holding member 131 is engaged with the intermediate region 182 in the holding space 180. At this time, the presser plate 139 presses the cleaning body 140 from above, and a locking projection (not shown) provided on the lower surface of the presser plate 139 acts as a retaining member for the cleaning body 140. Thereby, the cleaning body 140 is reliably held by the cleaning body holding part 131. The holding member 130 may be inserted into the holding space 180 from any opening 181 formed at both ends of the cleaning body 140.
以上の第1変形例によれば、清掃体140が清掃体ホルダ110に保持された状態において、清掃体保持部130が清掃体140を上下方向に拡張させて保持する。すなわち、保持部材131が弾性変形可能な第1弾性部材135と第2弾性部材136で形成されており、第1弾性部材135と第2弾性部材136の復元力によって、清掃体140を厚さ方向に拡張している。そのため、清掃体140の嵩が高められた状態で保持される。
According to the above first modified example, in a state where the cleaning body 140 is held by the cleaning body holder 110, the cleaning body holding part 130 expands and holds the cleaning body 140 in the vertical direction. That is, the holding member 131 is formed of a first elastic member 135 and a second elastic member 136 that can be elastically deformed, and the cleaning body 140 is moved in the thickness direction by the restoring force of the first elastic member 135 and the second elastic member 136. Has been extended to. Therefore, the cleaning body 140 is held in an increased state.
特に、繊維集合体152の嵩が高められた状態となる。繊維集合体152の嵩が高められた状態は、ボリューム感の高い状態として規定することができ、「嵩高状態」、「ボリュームアップ状態」、「空間充満度の高い状態」或いは「バルキー度の高い状態」ということもできる。
したがって、繊維集合体152の嵩を高めることによって清掃効果向上を図ることが可能となる。また、繊維集合体152の嵩が高められることによって、被清掃面に対する密着の度合いが高まり、繊維集合体152の汚れが際立ち易く(黒くなり易く)なり、使用者はゴミが確実に捕捉されているという実感が得られることとなり満足度が高まる。 In particular, the bulk of thefiber assembly 152 is increased. The state in which the bulk of the fiber assembly 152 is increased can be defined as a state with a high volume feeling, and can be defined as a “bulky state”, “volume up state”, “space fullness state” or “high bulky degree”. It can also be called "state".
Therefore, it is possible to improve the cleaning effect by increasing the bulk of thefiber assembly 152. Further, by increasing the bulk of the fiber assembly 152, the degree of adhesion to the surface to be cleaned is increased, the stain of the fiber assembly 152 is likely to stand out (is likely to become black), and the user can reliably catch dust. The satisfaction will be increased.
したがって、繊維集合体152の嵩を高めることによって清掃効果向上を図ることが可能となる。また、繊維集合体152の嵩が高められることによって、被清掃面に対する密着の度合いが高まり、繊維集合体152の汚れが際立ち易く(黒くなり易く)なり、使用者はゴミが確実に捕捉されているという実感が得られることとなり満足度が高まる。 In particular, the bulk of the
Therefore, it is possible to improve the cleaning effect by increasing the bulk of the
また、第1変形例によれば、第1弾性部材135と第2弾性部材136は、清掃体ホルダ110の上下方向に離間しているだけでなく、清掃体ホルダ110の左右方向にも離間している。すなわち、第1弾性部材135と第2弾性部材136は、清掃体140の厚さ方向に離間して配置され、清掃体140を嵩高に保持するだけでなく、清掃体140の厚さ方向に交差する方向に離間して配置され、平面視における清掃体140の面積を確保している。換言すると、清掃体140は、平面視における面積が小さくなることを抑制しつつ、嵩高に保持される。したがって、清掃体140を広範な範囲で嵩高に保持することができ、清掃効率を向上することができる。
Further, according to the first modification, the first elastic member 135 and the second elastic member 136 are not only separated in the vertical direction of the cleaning body holder 110 but also separated in the left-right direction of the cleaning body holder 110. ing. That is, the first elastic member 135 and the second elastic member 136 are spaced apart from each other in the thickness direction of the cleaning body 140, and not only hold the cleaning body 140 bulky but also intersect the thickness direction of the cleaning body 140. The cleaning body 140 is secured in the plan view so as to be spaced apart from each other. In other words, the cleaning body 140 is held bulky while suppressing the area in plan view from becoming smaller. Therefore, the cleaning body 140 can be held bulky in a wide range, and the cleaning efficiency can be improved.
清掃体140が清掃体ホルダ110に保持された状態では、保持部材131が保持空間180の内部を拡張する方向に押圧する。保持空間180は、保持シート160により形成された第1挿入領域180Aと、基材シート151により形成された第2挿入領域180Bとの間に形成されている。つまり、保持部材131の第1弾性部材135が、保持空間180の第2挿入領域180Bを押圧する。また、保持部材131の第2弾性部材136が、保持空間180の第1挿入領域180Aを押圧する。この結果、保持空間180における、第1挿入領域180Aと第2挿入領域180Bとには張力が付与される。すなわち、保持部材131における第1弾性部材135と第2弾性部材とは、特に保持空間180における第2挿入領域180Bに所定の張力を与えるテンション付与部190とされる。さらに、第2弾性部材136は、第1テンション付与部190Aとされる。さらに、第1弾性部材135は、第2テンション付与部材190Bとされる。
In the state where the cleaning body 140 is held by the cleaning body holder 110, the holding member 131 presses in the direction of expanding the inside of the holding space 180. The holding space 180 is formed between the first insertion region 180 </ b> A formed by the holding sheet 160 and the second insertion region 180 </ b> B formed by the base sheet 151. That is, the first elastic member 135 of the holding member 131 presses the second insertion region 180 </ b> B of the holding space 180. Further, the second elastic member 136 of the holding member 131 presses the first insertion region 180 </ b> A of the holding space 180. As a result, tension is applied to the first insertion region 180A and the second insertion region 180B in the holding space 180. That is, the first elastic member 135 and the second elastic member in the holding member 131 serve as a tension applying unit 190 that applies a predetermined tension to the second insertion region 180B in the holding space 180, in particular. Further, the second elastic member 136 is a first tension applying portion 190A. Further, the first elastic member 135 is a second tension applying member 190B.
一方、第1弾性部材135は、第2弾性部材136よりも長手交差方向Xにおける内側に配置されている。すなわち、第2テンション付与部190Bは、第1テンション付与部190Aよりも長手交差方向Xにおける内側に配置されている。
よって、第2領域180Bは、第2テンション付与部190B(第1弾性部材135)から第1テンション付与部190A(第2弾性部材136)に亘り、下から上(図13の下から上)方向へテンションを付与されつつ傾斜される。すなわち、第2挿入領域180Bは、テンション部191を形成する。 On the other hand, the firstelastic member 135 is disposed on the inner side in the longitudinal cross direction X than the second elastic member 136. That is, the second tension applying unit 190B is arranged on the inner side in the longitudinal cross direction X than the first tension applying unit 190A.
Accordingly, thesecond region 180B extends from the second tension applying portion 190B (first elastic member 135) to the first tension applying portion 190A (second elastic member 136) from the bottom to the top (from the bottom to the top in FIG. 13). It is tilted while being tensioned. That is, the second insertion region 180B forms a tension portion 191.
よって、第2領域180Bは、第2テンション付与部190B(第1弾性部材135)から第1テンション付与部190A(第2弾性部材136)に亘り、下から上(図13の下から上)方向へテンションを付与されつつ傾斜される。すなわち、第2挿入領域180Bは、テンション部191を形成する。 On the other hand, the first
Accordingly, the
この結果、第2挿入領域180Bは、第1挿入領域180Aが配置されている方向(図13の上方)へ傾斜される。さらに、第2挿入領域180Bと連続されている短冊片160a、151aも第1挿入領域180Aが配置されている方向(図13の上方)へ移動される。
As a result, the second insertion region 180B is inclined in the direction in which the first insertion region 180A is arranged (upward in FIG. 13). Further, the strip pieces 160a and 151a that are continuous with the second insertion region 180B are also moved in the direction in which the first insertion region 180A is arranged (upward in FIG. 13).
この結果、清掃体140においては、短冊片160a、151aと、清掃対象側シート153の距離が離間される。すなわち、清掃体140が清掃対象に接するべき領域を増加させることができる。
さらに、この種の繊維集合体152を有する清掃用具100にあっては、使用前にユーザが清掃具100を振って繊維集合体152を開繊させる場合がある。本発明においては、繊維集合体152が開繊されるべき領域を確保できる。よって、繊維集合体152の開繊状態が良好なものとなる。 As a result, in thecleaning body 140, the distance between the strip pieces 160a and 151a and the cleaning target side sheet 153 is separated. That is, the area where the cleaning body 140 should come into contact with the object to be cleaned can be increased.
Furthermore, in thecleaning tool 100 having this type of fiber assembly 152, the user may open the fiber assembly 152 by shaking the cleaning tool 100 before use. In the present invention, a region where the fiber assembly 152 is to be opened can be secured. Therefore, the opened state of the fiber assembly 152 is favorable.
さらに、この種の繊維集合体152を有する清掃用具100にあっては、使用前にユーザが清掃具100を振って繊維集合体152を開繊させる場合がある。本発明においては、繊維集合体152が開繊されるべき領域を確保できる。よって、繊維集合体152の開繊状態が良好なものとなる。 As a result, in the
Furthermore, in the
さらに、清掃体保持部130は二股状に、2つの保持部材131で形成されているため、清掃体ホルダ110が、清掃体140を嵩高に保持する状態において、清掃体140の平面視における面積が小さくなることをさらに抑制することができる。
Furthermore, since the cleaning body holding part 130 is formed with two holding members 131 in a bifurcated shape, the area in the plan view of the cleaning body 140 is large when the cleaning body holder 110 holds the cleaning body 140 bulky. It can further be suppressed from becoming smaller.
また、第1変形例によれば、第1弾性部材135と第2弾性部材136は、基部132と先端部133から等距離に位置する中間部分において、清掃体ホルダ110の上下方向および左右方向において最も離間している。そのため、清掃体ホルダ110によって保持された清掃体140の中心において、清掃体140を最も嵩高にすることができる。これにより、清掃体140を効率的に嵩高に保持することができる。
Further, according to the first modified example, the first elastic member 135 and the second elastic member 136 are arranged in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction of the cleaning body holder 110 at an intermediate portion located at an equal distance from the base portion 132 and the distal end portion 133. Most distant. Therefore, the cleaning body 140 can be most bulky at the center of the cleaning body 140 held by the cleaning body holder 110. Thereby, the cleaning body 140 can be efficiently held bulky.
また、第1変形例によれば、清掃体140が清掃体ホルダ110に保持された状態において、第1弾性部材135と第2弾性部材136の復元力によって、保持空間180内で、保持部材131が中間領域182に係合される。すなわち、第1弾性部材135と第2弾性部材136の復元力によって、清掃中に清掃体140が清掃体ホルダ110から抜けることを抑制することができる。
Further, according to the first modification, the holding member 131 is held in the holding space 180 by the restoring force of the first elastic member 135 and the second elastic member 136 when the cleaning body 140 is held by the cleaning body holder 110. Is engaged with the intermediate region 182. That is, the restoring force of the first elastic member 135 and the second elastic member 136 can prevent the cleaning body 140 from coming off the cleaning body holder 110 during cleaning.

Furthermore, the convex part 237 has an intermediate region 237B provided between the insertion side region 237A and the extraction side region 237C. The insertion side region 237A, the intermediate region 237B, and the extraction side region 237C are implementation configuration examples corresponding to the “insertion side region”, “intermediate region”, and “extraction side region” in the present invention.
次に、凸部237の構造を説明する。なお、便宜上、先端側233の凸部237の構造のみ説明するが、基部232側の凸部238が凸部237と同様の構成を有することができるのはもちろんである。
図16は、清掃体ホルダ210を挿入方向Y1に移動させて、清掃体ホルダ210の保持部材231を、清掃体140の保持空間180に挿入する状態を示す。
この場合、凸部237の挿入側領域237Aが、清掃体140の接合部171Aに当接する。この挿入側領域237Aが接合部171Aに最初に当接する点を、挿入開始点237A1とする。この挿入開始点237A1が、本発明における「挿入開始点」に対応する実施構成例である。 Next, the structure of theconvex part 237 will be described. For convenience, only the structure of the convex portion 237 on the distal end side 233 will be described, but the convex portion 238 on the base portion 232 side can have the same configuration as the convex portion 237.
FIG. 16 shows a state where thecleaning body holder 210 is moved in the insertion direction Y <b> 1 and the holding member 231 of the cleaning body holder 210 is inserted into the holding space 180 of the cleaning body 140.
In this case, theinsertion side region 237A of the convex portion 237 comes into contact with the joint portion 171A of the cleaning body 140. A point where the insertion side region 237A first comes into contact with the joint 171A is defined as an insertion start point 237A1. This insertion start point 237A1 is an implementation configuration example corresponding to the “insertion start point” in the present invention.

次に、図18に示すように、清掃体ホルダ210を挿入方向Y1へさらに移動させる。すると、接合部171Aは、挿入終了点237A2を通過して中間領域237Bに当接する。そしてさらに清掃体ホルダ210を挿入方向Y1に移動することにより、清掃体ホルダ210と清掃体140の装着は完了する。
Next, as shown in FIG. 18, the cleaning body holder 210 is further moved in the insertion direction Y1. Then, the joint portion 171A passes through the insertion end point 237A2 and comes into contact with the intermediate region 237B. Further, by moving the cleaning body holder 210 in the insertion direction Y1, the mounting of the cleaning body holder 210 and the cleaning body 140 is completed.

図20は、清掃体ホルダ210と清掃体140が装着されている状態から、清掃体ホルダ210を引抜方向Y2に移動させる状態を示す。
この場合、凸部237の引抜側領域237Cが、清掃体140の接合部171Aに当接する。この引抜側領域237Cが接合部171Aに最初に当接する点を、引抜開始点237C1とする。この引抜開始点237C1が、本発明における「引抜開始点」に対応する実施構成例である。 FIG. 20 shows a state in which thecleaning body holder 210 is moved in the drawing direction Y2 from the state where the cleaning body holder 210 and the cleaning body 140 are mounted.
In this case, the pull-outside region 237C of the convex portion 237 comes into contact with the joint portion 171A of the cleaning body 140. A point where the drawing side region 237C first comes into contact with the joint portion 171A is a drawing start point 237C1. This drawing start point 237C1 is an implementation configuration example corresponding to the “drawing start point” in the present invention.

次に、図21に示すように、引抜側領域237Cが接合部171Aに最後に当接する点まで、清掃体ホルダ210を引抜方向Y2へさらに移動させる。この、引抜側領域237Cが接合部171Aに最後に当接する点を引抜終了点237C2とする。この引抜終了点237C2が、本発明における「引抜終了点」に対応する実施構成例である。
Next, as shown in FIG. 21, the cleaning body holder 210 is further moved in the drawing direction Y2 until the drawing side region 237C finally comes into contact with the joint portion 171A. The point where the drawing side region 237C finally comes into contact with the joint portion 171A is defined as a drawing end point 237C2. This drawing end point 237C2 is an implementation configuration example corresponding to the “drawing end point” in the present invention.
次に、図22に示すように、清掃体ホルダ210を引抜方向Y2へさらに移動させる。すると、接合部171Aは、引抜終了点237C2を通過して中間領域237Bに当接する。そしてさらに清掃体ホルダ210を引抜方向Y2に移動することにより、清掃体ホルダ210は清掃体140から取り外される。
Next, as shown in FIG. 22, the cleaning body holder 210 is further moved in the drawing direction Y2. Then, the joint portion 171A passes through the drawing end point 237C2 and comes into contact with the intermediate region 237B. Further, the cleaning body holder 210 is removed from the cleaning body 140 by moving the cleaning body holder 210 in the drawing direction Y2.
ここで、図23に示すように、引抜開始点237C1と、引抜終了点237C2とを結んだ直線を、第3の凸部仮想直線L3とする。そして、引抜開始点237C1を通過する引抜方向Y2と平行な直線を第4の凸部仮想直線L4とする。そして、第3の凸部仮想直線L3と第4の凸部仮想直線L4とにより形成される角度を第2の角度A2とする。
この第3の凸部仮想直線L3、第4の凸部仮想直線L4、第2の角度A2が、本発明における「第3の凸部仮想直線」、「第4の凸部仮想直線」、「第2の角度」に対応する実施構成例である。 Here, as shown in FIG. 23, a straight line connecting the drawing start point 237C1 and the drawing end point 237C2 is defined as a third convex virtual line L3. A straight line parallel to the drawing direction Y2 passing through the drawing start point 237C1 is defined as a fourth convex virtual line L4. The angle formed by the third convex virtual line L3 and the fourth convex virtual line L4 is defined as a second angle A2.

ここで、図24に示すように、第1の角度A1は、第2の角度A2よりも小さく構成されている。これが、本発明における「前記第1の角度は、前記第2の角度よりも小さく形成されている」の実施構成例である。
凸部237をこのように構成することによって、清掃体ホルダ210を清掃体140に装着する際には、スムーズに作業を行うことができる。一方、清掃用具100を使用する際には、清掃体ホルダ210と清掃体140とが分離しにくくなる。 Here, as shown in FIG. 24, the first angle A1 is configured to be smaller than the second angle A2. This is an implementation configuration example of “the first angle is formed smaller than the second angle” in the present invention.
By configuring theconvex portion 237 as described above, when the cleaning body holder 210 is attached to the cleaning body 140, the operation can be smoothly performed. On the other hand, when the cleaning tool 100 is used, the cleaning body holder 210 and the cleaning body 140 are difficult to separate.

(第3変形例)
次に、図25~図26に基づき、第3変形例を説明する。第3変形例に係る清掃体ホルダ310の清掃体保持部330は、第1弾性部材335と第2弾性部材336とにより構成される。第2弾性部材336は、先端部333側の凸部337と、基部332側の凸部338とを有する。先端部333側の凸部337は、第2弾性部材336の先端部333側を外側方向に変形させることにより形成されている。 (Third Modification)
Next, a third modification will be described based on FIGS. The cleaningbody holder 330 of the cleaning body holder 310 according to the third modification is configured by a first elastic member 335 and a second elastic member 336. The second elastic member 336 includes a convex portion 337 on the distal end portion 333 side and a convex portion 338 on the base portion 332 side. The convex portion 337 on the distal end portion 333 side is formed by deforming the distal end portion 333 side of the second elastic member 336 outward.
次に、図25~図26に基づき、第3変形例を説明する。第3変形例に係る清掃体ホルダ310の清掃体保持部330は、第1弾性部材335と第2弾性部材336とにより構成される。第2弾性部材336は、先端部333側の凸部337と、基部332側の凸部338とを有する。先端部333側の凸部337は、第2弾性部材336の先端部333側を外側方向に変形させることにより形成されている。 (Third Modification)
Next, a third modification will be described based on FIGS. The cleaning
すなわち、第3変形例に係る清掃体ホルダ310の先端部333側の凸部337は、第2変形例に係る清掃体ホルダ110の先端部133側の凸部237に比して、第2弾性部材336と凸部337との境界が明確ではないものである。
さらに、このような構造の凸部337については、特に凸部337の挿入側領域337Aがどこから開始するのかが問題となる。 That is, theconvex portion 337 on the distal end portion 333 side of the cleaning body holder 310 according to the third modified example has a second elasticity compared to the convex portion 237 on the distal end portion 133 side of the cleaning body holder 110 according to the second modified example. The boundary between the member 336 and the convex portion 337 is not clear.
Further, with regard to theconvex portion 337 having such a structure, there is a problem in particular where the insertion side region 337A of the convex portion 337 starts.
さらに、このような構造の凸部337については、特に凸部337の挿入側領域337Aがどこから開始するのかが問題となる。 That is, the
Further, with regard to the
よって、このような構造の凸部337に関する「第1の角度」の求め方を、図26に基づき説明する。
図26は、清掃体ホルダ310を挿入方向Y1に移動させて、清掃体ホルダ310の保持部材331を、清掃体340の保持空間180に挿入する状態を示す。
この場合、凸部337が、清掃体340の接合部171Aに当接する。この挿入側領域337Aが接合部171Aに最初に当接する点を、挿入開始点337A1とする。また、この挿入開始点337A1から中間部337Bに亘る部分を、凸部337の挿入側領域337Aとする。
これにより、凸部337のような構造であっても、上述した第3変形例と同様に、挿入開始点337A1と、挿入終了点とを確定することが可能となる。よって、凸部337においても、第1の角度を決定することができる。 Therefore, how to obtain the “first angle” for theconvex portion 337 having such a structure will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 26 shows a state in which thecleaning body holder 310 is moved in the insertion direction Y <b> 1 and the holding member 331 of the cleaning body holder 310 is inserted into the holding space 180 of the cleaning body 340.
In this case, theconvex portion 337 comes into contact with the joint portion 171A of the cleaning body 340. A point where the insertion side region 337A first comes into contact with the joint portion 171A is set as an insertion start point 337A1. A portion extending from the insertion start point 337A1 to the intermediate portion 337B is defined as an insertion side region 337A of the convex portion 337.
Thereby, even if it is a structure like theconvex part 337, it becomes possible to determine insertion start point 337A1 and insertion end point similarly to the 3rd modification mentioned above. Therefore, the first angle can be determined also in the convex portion 337.
図26は、清掃体ホルダ310を挿入方向Y1に移動させて、清掃体ホルダ310の保持部材331を、清掃体340の保持空間180に挿入する状態を示す。
この場合、凸部337が、清掃体340の接合部171Aに当接する。この挿入側領域337Aが接合部171Aに最初に当接する点を、挿入開始点337A1とする。また、この挿入開始点337A1から中間部337Bに亘る部分を、凸部337の挿入側領域337Aとする。
これにより、凸部337のような構造であっても、上述した第3変形例と同様に、挿入開始点337A1と、挿入終了点とを確定することが可能となる。よって、凸部337においても、第1の角度を決定することができる。 Therefore, how to obtain the “first angle” for the

(第4変形例)
次に、図27~図28に基づき、第4変形例を説明する。図27~図28においては、便宜上、第2弾性部材436と、先端部側の凸部437の構造のみを説明する。
凸部437は、挿入側領域437Aと、引抜側領域437Cが直線により構成されている。よって、中間領域437Bは点状となる。 (Fourth modification)
Next, a fourth modification will be described based on FIGS. 27 to 28, only the structure of the secondelastic member 436 and the convex portion 437 on the tip end side will be described for the sake of convenience.
As for theconvex part 437, insertion side area | region 437A and extraction side area | region 437C are comprised by the straight line. Therefore, the intermediate region 437B has a dot shape.
次に、図27~図28に基づき、第4変形例を説明する。図27~図28においては、便宜上、第2弾性部材436と、先端部側の凸部437の構造のみを説明する。
凸部437は、挿入側領域437Aと、引抜側領域437Cが直線により構成されている。よって、中間領域437Bは点状となる。 (Fourth modification)

As for the
図28は、清掃体ホルダを挿入方向Y1に移動させて、清掃体ホルダの保持部材を清掃体140の保持空間180に挿入する状態と、清掃体ホルダを引抜方向Y2に移動させて、清掃体ホルダの保持部材を清掃体140の保持空間180から引抜く状態との双方を示す説明図である。
このような構造の凸部437の場合、挿入終了点437A2と、引抜終了点437C2とが、中間領域437Bにて一致することとなる。一方、挿入終了点437A2と、引抜終了点437C2が凸部437における同一の部分であっても、「第1の角度」および「第2の角度」を求めることに何ら問題はないものである。 FIG. 28 shows a state in which the cleaning body holder is moved in the insertion direction Y1, the holding member of the cleaning body holder is inserted into the holdingspace 180 of the cleaning body 140, and the cleaning body holder is moved in the pulling direction Y2. It is explanatory drawing which shows both the state which pulls out the holding member of a holder from the holding space 180 of the cleaning body 140. FIG.
In the case of theconvex portion 437 having such a structure, the insertion end point 437A2 and the drawing end point 437C2 coincide with each other in the intermediate region 437B. On the other hand, even if the insertion end point 437A2 and the drawing end point 437C2 are the same portion in the convex portion 437, there is no problem in obtaining the “first angle” and the “second angle”.
このような構造の凸部437の場合、挿入終了点437A2と、引抜終了点437C2とが、中間領域437Bにて一致することとなる。一方、挿入終了点437A2と、引抜終了点437C2が凸部437における同一の部分であっても、「第1の角度」および「第2の角度」を求めることに何ら問題はないものである。 FIG. 28 shows a state in which the cleaning body holder is moved in the insertion direction Y1, the holding member of the cleaning body holder is inserted into the holding

凸部537は、挿入側領域537Aに凹部537AAを有する。 (5th modification)
Next, a fifth modification will be described based on FIGS. 29 to 30, only the structure of the secondelastic member 536 and the convex portion 537 on the tip end side will be described for the sake of convenience.
Theconvex portion 537 has a concave portion 537AA in the insertion side region 537A.

図30は、清掃体ホルダを挿入方向Y1に移動させて、清掃体ホルダの保持部材を清掃体140の保持空間180に挿入する状態を示す説明図である。
凸部537の場合は凹部537AAが存在しているため、挿入領域537Aと接合部171Aの当接状態は、上述した第2変形例~第4変形例に係る凸部とは異なるものである。
すなわち、凸部537の挿入領域537Aが挿入開始点(図示せず)から挿入終了点537A1に至るまでに、接合部171Aが凹部537AAを経由する。
一方、仮にこのように挿入領域537Aに凹部537AAを有する構成であっても、あくまで挿入終了点537A2は、挿入側領域537Aが接合部171Aに最後に当接する点である。このことは、引抜側領域537Cが凹部を有する場合であっても同様である。
よって、凸部537が凹部537AAを有する構造であっても、「第1の角度」および「第2の角度」を求めることに何ら問題はないものである。 FIG. 30 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a state in which the cleaning body holder is moved in the insertion direction Y <b> 1 and the holding member of the cleaning body holder is inserted into the holdingspace 180 of the cleaning body 140.
In the case of theconvex portion 537, since the concave portion 537AA exists, the contact state between the insertion region 537A and the joint portion 171A is different from the convex portions according to the second to fourth modifications described above.
That is, the joiningportion 171A passes through the recess 537AA from the insertion start point (not shown) of the insertion region 537A of the projection 537 to the insertion end point 537A1.
On the other hand, even if theinsertion region 537A has the recess 537AA as described above, the insertion end point 537A2 is only the point where the insertion side region 537A comes into contact with the joint portion 171A last. This is the same even when the extraction side region 537C has a recess.
Therefore, even if theconvex portion 537 has the concave portion 537AA, there is no problem in obtaining the “first angle” and the “second angle”.
凸部537の場合は凹部537AAが存在しているため、挿入領域537Aと接合部171Aの当接状態は、上述した第2変形例~第4変形例に係る凸部とは異なるものである。
すなわち、凸部537の挿入領域537Aが挿入開始点(図示せず)から挿入終了点537A1に至るまでに、接合部171Aが凹部537AAを経由する。
一方、仮にこのように挿入領域537Aに凹部537AAを有する構成であっても、あくまで挿入終了点537A2は、挿入側領域537Aが接合部171Aに最後に当接する点である。このことは、引抜側領域537Cが凹部を有する場合であっても同様である。
よって、凸部537が凹部537AAを有する構造であっても、「第1の角度」および「第2の角度」を求めることに何ら問題はないものである。 FIG. 30 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a state in which the cleaning body holder is moved in the insertion direction Y <b> 1 and the holding member of the cleaning body holder is inserted into the holding

なお、図15~図30に基づく第2変形例~第5変形例においては、先端部側の凸部における構成を中心に説明を行った。一方、上述した先端部側の凸部における構成を、基部側の凸部にも適宜実施可能なことはもちろんである。
In the second to fifth modifications based on FIGS. 15 to 30, the description has focused on the configuration of the convex portion on the tip side. On the other hand, it is needless to say that the configuration of the convex portion on the distal end side described above can be appropriately implemented on the convex portion on the base side.
なお、図15~図30に基づく第2変形例~第5変形例においては、便宜上、清掃体ホルダの凸部と当接する清掃体の接合部として、「接合部171A」のみを説明した。一方、第1の角度A1と第2の角度A2を求める場合、様々な形状の接合部や、様々な配置の接合部の集合に対しても適宜応用することができるのはもちろんである。
この際、例えば清掃体における接合部の形状や、複数存在する接合部の配置形態や、さらには清掃体ホルダの中間部の構成次第においては、長手方向に連続するそれぞれの接合部に対し、第1の角度A1や第2の角度A2が異なった角度となる可能性がある。
このように、複数の第1の角度A1を有する場合は、最も小さい角度を本発明に係る「第1の角度」とする。
さらに、複数の第2の角度A2を有する場合は、最も大きい角度を本発明に係る「第2の角度」とする。 In the second to fifth modifications based on FIGS. 15 to 30, for convenience, only the “joiningpart 171A” has been described as the joining part of the cleaning body that comes into contact with the convex part of the cleaning body holder. On the other hand, when obtaining 1st angle A1 and 2nd angle A2, it is needless to say that it can apply suitably also to the joint of various shapes and the joint of various arrangements.
At this time, for example, depending on the shape of the joint portion in the cleaning body, the arrangement form of the plurality of joint portions, and further the configuration of the intermediate portion of the cleaning body holder, each joint portion continuous in the longitudinal direction is The first angle A1 and the second angle A2 may be different angles.
Thus, when it has several 1st angle A1, let the smallest angle be a "1st angle" which concerns on this invention.
Furthermore, when it has several 2nd angle A2, let the largest angle be a "2nd angle" which concerns on this invention.
この際、例えば清掃体における接合部の形状や、複数存在する接合部の配置形態や、さらには清掃体ホルダの中間部の構成次第においては、長手方向に連続するそれぞれの接合部に対し、第1の角度A1や第2の角度A2が異なった角度となる可能性がある。
このように、複数の第1の角度A1を有する場合は、最も小さい角度を本発明に係る「第1の角度」とする。
さらに、複数の第2の角度A2を有する場合は、最も大きい角度を本発明に係る「第2の角度」とする。 In the second to fifth modifications based on FIGS. 15 to 30, for convenience, only the “joining
At this time, for example, depending on the shape of the joint portion in the cleaning body, the arrangement form of the plurality of joint portions, and further the configuration of the intermediate portion of the cleaning body holder, each joint portion continuous in the longitudinal direction is The first angle A1 and the second angle A2 may be different angles.
Thus, when it has several 1st angle A1, let the smallest angle be a "1st angle" which concerns on this invention.
Furthermore, when it has several 2nd angle A2, let the largest angle be a "2nd angle" which concerns on this invention.
以上においては、清掃体ホルダ110は、二股状に、2つの保持部材131を有していたが、二股状に形成することなく、1つの保持部材131のみを有していてもよい。
