Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a cleaning tool for cleaning grooves of, for example, bathroom ventilation fan covers and sashes. [Background technology]

[0002] The ventilation fan covers installed on the ceilings of bathrooms, toilets, etc. have many grooves formed therein as ventilation openings, and dust and other dirt accumulates in these ventilation opening grooves as ventilation takes place.

[0003] Similarly, dust and other dirt easily accumulates in the grooves of bathroom doors and sashes, and dirt that becomes stuck in the grooves of bathroom ventilation fan covers, doors, sashes, etc. is often difficult to remove with a vacuum cleaner or brush. To address the removal of such dirt, Patent Document 1 discloses a groove cleaning tool having a spatula at the tip and a separate brush attached thereto. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3180484 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, when the above-mentioned groove cleaning tool is used on the grooves of a bathroom ventilation fan cover, door, sash, etc., the spatula part is inserted and slid into the groove to remove and peel off the dirt. Therefore, it is necessary to wash the spatula part after cleaning, which is troublesome to maintain.

[0006] Furthermore, the dirt that has been peeled off by the spatula is swept away with the brush, but any dirt that has not been swept away and remains in the grooves must be wiped away separately with a dustcloth or the like.

[0007] The object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and provide a cleaning tool that allows for efficient cleaning by peeling off dirt and the like in the grooves with a cleaning sheet covering the flat blade and by allowing the dirt to adhere to the cleaning sheet material covering the flat blade, and that does not require washing of the flat blade after use. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the cleaning tool of the present invention comprises a grippable main body and a flat blade portion in the shape of a thin plate provided on one end of the main body and which becomes thinner towards the tip, and is capable of attaching a strip-shaped cleaning sheet, the main body having a sheet attachment portion along the longitudinal direction, a pair of slit portions arranged along the longitudinal direction on the attachment portion, and the pair of slit portions which penetrate the sheet attachment portion each have a slit pattern formed of linear thin grooves. Effect of the Invention

[0009] According to the cleaning tool of the present invention, the flat blade portion covered with the cleaning sheet can scrape off and peel off dirt accumulated on the bathroom ventilation fan cover, door parts, sash grooves, etc., and the dirt can be attached to the cleaning sheet.

[0010] In addition, since the cleaning sheet can be easily inserted and removed from the slit, the cleaning surface of the cleaning sheet can be easily shifted while using it, and dirt in the grooves can be adhered to the entire cleaning sheet without waste. Furthermore, by discarding the dirty cleaning sheet after use, there is no need to wash the flat blade. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0012] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the illustrated embodiments. Fig. 1 is a plan view of the cleaning tool, and Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the cleaning tool. The cleaning tool 1 is flat and bent into an L-shape, and is mainly made of a hard synthetic resin material. It is composed of a grippable main body 2 and a flat blade 3 provided on one end of the main body 2.

[0013] The flat blade 3 is spatula-shaped with a straight cutting edge at the front end, and has a triangular cross section that tapers toward the front end. The front end of the flat blade 3 is not particularly sharp, so that even if it is covered with a cleaning sheet as described below, the cleaning sheet will not be cut by the flat blade 3.

[0014] A sheet attachment part 4 made of a thin, elastic synthetic resin material at the center is fitted into a long hole 2a along the longitudinal direction of the main body part 2, and a cleaning sheet made of, for example, nonwoven fabric, which will be described later, can be attached to this sheet attachment part 4. The sheet attachment part 4 can also be manufactured by integral molding together with the main body part 2.

[0015] The seat attachment part 4 has a pair of slit parts 4a, 4b having a slit pattern arranged along the longitudinal direction of the seat attachment part 4.

[0016] The slits 4a and 4b penetrating the seat attachment portion 4 are formed with a slit pattern consisting of linear thin grooves, and are divided by this slit pattern to form an acute angle tip piece 4c and a rectangular tip piece 4d. This slit pattern can be, for example, an appropriate X-shaped or Y-shaped pattern.

[0017] Meanwhile, a sweeping brush part 5 that can be inserted into the groove is fixed to the other end of the main body part 2, and the entire core plate part of this brush part 5 (not shown) is covered with a cloth body having hair-like bodies such as fiber hairs planted therein. Alternatively, a large number of brush hairs may be planted radially from the other end of the main body part 2. A recess 2b is formed at the bent part of the main body part 2, and is used, for example, to hook the cleaning tool 1 on a hook when storing it.

[0018] To use this cleaning tool 1, first, a disposable cleaning sheet S made of, for example, nonwoven fabric is attached to the cleaning tool 1. A long, narrow, strip-like cleaning sheet S with a width slightly wider than the width of the main body 2 in the short direction is prepared, and the cleaning sheet S is attached so that it covers the flat blade 3.

[0019] FIG. 3 is an explanatory side view of the cleaning tool 1 with the cleaning sheet S attached, and FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the cleaning tool 1 with the cleaning sheet S attached, as viewed from the back.

[0020] The cleaning sheet S is made of a fibrous material that easily attracts dust to its surface, and is folded in half with the tip of the flat blade 3 folded back when used. Note that the cleaning sheet S may be made of multiple laminated nonwoven fabrics, and in addition to nonwoven fabrics, general cloth or paper materials may also be used as appropriate.

[0021] The cleaning sheet S comes into contact with the flat blade portion 3, is folded back, and is fixed on both sides of the sheet attachment portion 4. That is, both ends of the cleaning sheet S folded back by the flat blade portion 3 are fixed to the sheet attachment portion 4 from both sides.

[0022] This fixing operation is performed by first pressing end S1 of one cleaning sheet S into slit 4a of sheet attachment part 4 with fingers from the back surface to the front surface of sheet attachment part 4, and then pressing end S2 of the other cleaning sheet S, folded back by flat blade part 3, into slit 4b with fingers from the front surface to the back surface of sheet attachment part 4. Pressing end S2 of cleaning sheet S into slit 4b is performed until the cleaning sheet S covering flat blade part 3 is appropriately pulled.

[0023] The cleaning sheet S is sandwiched in a complex manner by the slit pattern of the slit sections 4a, 4b, each of which has an appropriate hardness and flexibility, so that both ends of the cleaning sheet S are difficult to slip out and difficult to peel off once fixed. In particular, in the slit pattern shown in the figure, the rectangular tip piece 4d makes it easy to insert the cleaning sheet S, and the acute-angled tip piece 4c bites into the cleaning sheet S and makes it difficult to come off.

[0024] Then, the user grasps the main body 2 around the sheet attachment part 4 of the cleaning tool 1, and inserts and slides the flat blade part 3 covered with the cleaning sheet S into a groove of a ventilation fan cover, door, sash, etc. in a bathroom, etc., to remove dirt and the like from within the groove.

[0025] In this process, the peeled off dirt can be attached to the cleaning sheet S and wiped off. Also, by pulling out a small amount of the end S2 of the cleaning sheet S from the slit 4b and pushing the pulled out portion of the cleaning sheet S into the slit 4a, the cleaning surface S3 of the cleaning sheet S covering the flat blade 3 can be moved.

[0026] Since the cleaning surface of the cleaning sheet S on which dirt adheres is only the periphery of the flat blade portion 3, by moving the cleaning surface S3 of the cleaning sheet S in this manner, dirt and the like in the grooves can always be peeled off with a new cleaning surface S3.

[0027] Since the cleaning sheet S can be easily inserted and removed through the slits 4a, 4b in this manner, the cleaning surface S3 of the cleaning sheet S can be easily shifted while using it, and dirt and the like in the grooves can be adhered to the entire cleaning sheet S without waste.

[0028] Furthermore, after dirt or the like has adhered to the entire outer cleaning sheet S, the cleaning sheet S can be removed from the slits 4a and 4b, turned over, and then reattached for cleaning. Dirt that cannot be wiped off with the cleaning sheet S can be swept out of the grooves with the brush part 5 and treated separately.

[0029] After cleaning is completed, the dirty cleaning sheet S is removed from the sheet attachment part 4 and discarded. Since dirt does not directly adhere to the flat blade part 3, there is no need to wash it after use. After use, the cleaning tool 1 is stored by hooking the recess 2b onto a storage hook or the like.
