Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a hand washing tool having a water-resistant, textured flexible sheet with finger fixing means. [Background technology]

[0002] Traditionally, washboards have been used as washing tools for hand washing. There is also a mini washboard that allows you to scrub while supporting it with your hands or fingers (see Patent Document 1). Furthermore, there is a rubber glove-type washing tool in which the surface of the rubber glove is provided with an uneven surface (see Patent Document 2). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Actual publication Showa 61-010190 [Patent Document 2] Patent Publication No. 2005-87696 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] This caused the following problems: (a) Conventional washboards are bulky and take up a lot of space, and it is a hassle to take them out and put them away when there is only a small amount of laundry. (b) When you want to wash items inside the washing machine by pinching them, a washboard that requires a place to support it is inconvenient and difficult to use in a small space. (c) The mini washboard that is used with the palm of the hand must be supported with one hand or the thumb, and the washboard is prone to slipping while scrubbing away stubborn stains, and the hand or fingers holding it are prone to becoming injured during use. (d) Rubber glove-type washing tools take time to put on and take off, and the inside of the gloves get steamy during use, causing the hands to sweat, which is uncomfortable. In addition, because the gloves are made large to make them easy to put on and take off, it is difficult to remove stubborn dirt from small areas such as the toes. The present invention has been made to solve these problems. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] This hand-washing tool is made of a flexible sheet with an uneven surface, and is characterized by having fixing means near the center and near the base of a roughly triangular hand-washing sheet body. Effect of the Invention

[0006] (i) It is easy to attach and remove, and can be used in any narrow space. Therefore, if you notice dirt coming off during the wash cycle, you can simply pick up the dirty items and wash them right on top of the washing tub. (b) Due to the uneven surface of the flexible material, depending on the amount of pressure used, it can be used to remove stubborn stains or as a laundry tool for scrubbing delicate materials. (c) It has an adjustment function to fit the size of the user's hand, and since there is no need to hold or support the hand washing sheet, the user can firmly grasp the laundry with both hands and scrub the dirty areas accurately. (d) The material is flexible and the size can be adjusted to fit the user's hand, so the hand does not hurt even if used for a long time, and the user can do other housework while wearing the mask on the back of the hand. (e) Since it only covers part of the back of the hand, there is no discomfort such as sweating during use. (f) It is small enough to fit in a small pouch and does not take up much storage space, making it convenient for doing laundry while traveling. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0008] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. (i) A water-resistant, flexible sheet with an uneven surface is cut into a roughly triangular shape with rounded corners to form the hand-washing sheet body (1). (b) Fixing means using fixing devices are provided near the centers of the left and right oblique sides and near both ends of the bottom side of the hand-washing sheet body (1). (c) As a fixing device constituting the fixing means, holes (2) and (3) are drilled at symmetrical positions near the center of the left and right oblique sides of the hand-washing sheet body (1), and both ends of a rubber band (4) thicker than the holes are passed through them from the back side to the front side, and the ends of the rubber are tied or fastened with fasteners, etc. so that they do not slip out of the holes (5). (ii) Also as a fastening device, make holes (6) and (7) at symmetrical positions near both ends of the bottom edge of the hand-washing sheet body (1), and pass both ends of a rubber band (8) that is thicker than the holes through them from the back side to the front side. Then tie or fasten the ends of the rubber so that they do not slip out of the holes (9). (e) In addition to holes (2), (3), (6), and (7), multiple holes can be pre-drilled so that the user can choose the hole they prefer. (f) The material used for the fasteners may be rubber (4) or (8), or may be string, wool, leather, vinyl string, or ribbon. (g) The ends of the fastening devices may be left on the front side of the hand-washing sheet body (1) or may be hidden on the back side. (h) As a fastening means, hook-and-loop fasteners, strings, wool, leather, vinyl strings, ribbons, buttons, and fasteners may be used. (i) The hand-washing sheet body (1) may be roughly triangular in shape with gentle depressions (10) near the center of the left and right oblique sides. (j) The edges of the hand-washing sheet body (1) may be decoratively cut (11) using pinking shears or the like. (k) A cushion portion (12) can be provided on the back side of the hand-washing sheet body (1). (l) In order to increase the range of motion of the wrist, a rounded recess (13) can be provided at the bottom of the hand-washing sheet body (1). (W) The shape of the hand-washing sheet body (1) can be changed depending on the user's washing habits. (f) In addition, as another embodiment, as shown in Figure 4, there is one in which small V-shaped cuts (14) (15) are made on both the left and right ends near the center from the apex to the base of the approximately triangular hand-washing sheet body (1). The present invention has the above-mentioned configuration. When using the present invention, first pass your wrist through rubber (8), then pass your thumb through rubber (4) so ​​that the surface of the hand-washing sheet body (1) covers the back of your thumb and the ball of your foot. When you pull on each of the rubber bands that are exposed on the surface of the hand-washing sheet, the rubber that is thicker than the hole will rebound, and the size will stay at a size that is easy for the user to use. With the hand-washing sheet body (1) still in place, hold the laundry with both hands and rub the dirty parts against the uneven surface of the hand-washing sheet body (1) to remove the dirt. The hand-washing sheets of the other embodiments, like the hand-washing sheet main body (1), can be used not only by rubbing it around the thumb, but also by attaching it upside down and rubbing it around bent fingers.
