AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a cleaning cloth with better cleaning performance and durability. The first cloth absorbs liquid and forms foam to clean objects, while the foam layer rubs out difficult-to-removing filth. The seams on the cloth result in a larger surface area to absorb or receive the filth. The second cloth provides further cleaning options, such as drying up.

Problems solved by technology

However, water-absorbable sponges have low friction coefficient, so that filth such as tea stains is difficult to be removed by rubbing with sponges.
Melamine sponge is water-nonabsorbable, so that water and detergent are difficult to be mated with it.
Moreover, melamine sponge is consumed when using.
More importantly, melamine is toxic.
Although foamed melamine is not toxic, it is uncertain whether melamine sponges have remaining unfoamed melamine or not.
However, the TPE foamed cleaning surface is unable to mate with water and detergent well, so that performance of cleaning is reduced.

Embodiment Construction

[0025]Please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 4 for a first embodiment of the present invention. The cleaning cloth of the present embodiment includes a body 1 which further includes a first cloth 11 and a foam layer 12.

[0026]The first cloth 11 is made of liquid-absorbable material and has a first face and an opposite second face. More preferably, the first cloth 11 is a woven meshed cloth and has a plurality of meshes 111 penetrating the first face and the second face.

[0027]The foam layer 12 is composed of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) or thermoplastic rubber (TPR) which has good elasticity and softness to promote comfort while using. Also, TPE is recyclable and environment-friendly. The foam layer 12 is a closed-cell foam. Compared with liquid-absorbable open-cell foam, the closed-cell foam is liquid-nonabsorbable. Thus, the foam layer 12 has higher friction coefficient to provide better performance of rubbing and cleaning in water. The foam layer 12 has a top face and a bottom face. The t...

Abstract

A cleaning cloth of the present invention includes a body which further includes a first cloth and a foam layer. The first cloth is liquid-absorbable and has a first face and an opposite second face. The first cloth has a plurality of meshes penetrating the first and the second faces. The foam layer is a closed-cell foam which is composed of thermoplastic elastomer and is liquid-nonabsorbable. The foam layer is disposed on the second face of the first cloth, and the foam layer partially protrudes into the meshes. The first face of the first cloth and parts of the foam layer protruding into the meshes are capable of cleaning objects. Thereby, the cleaning cloth of the present invention has promoted performance of cleaning and is more durable and environment-friendly.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a cleaning cloth, more specifically to a cleaning cloth which is able clean objects in liquid.[0003]2. Description of the Prior Art[0004]Conventional cleaning tools which can be used to rub off filth under water flow are mainly water-absorbable, such as sponge. Sponges have a plurality of holes and apertures to absorb water and detergent. When sponges are squeezed or compressed, foams are formed. A user can use sponges with foams to scrub and clean objects. However, water-absorbable sponges have low friction coefficient, so that filth such as tea stains is difficult to be removed by rubbing with sponges.[0005]To promote performance of cleaning, a spongy cleaning tool made of melamine is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 7,234,189. Melamine sponge is water-nonabsorbable, so that water and detergent are difficult to be mated with it. Moreover, melamine sponge is consumed when using. More importan...
