AI Technical Summary
Existing drainage wipers face challenges in effectively draining water from narrow gaps due to the handle and longer drainage members becoming obstacles.
The drainage wiper design includes a handle portion with a first drainage member at the tip and a second drainage member at the rear end, positioned 90 degrees relative to the first, with the second member being half or less in length than the first.
This configuration allows for effective drainage in narrow gaps without the first drainage member obstructing, enabling efficient water removal even in confined spaces.

Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0004] For example, Patent Document 1 includes a functional agent in a drainage member.
[0005] However, the invention is specialized in the function of the drainage part and does not solve usability and the like.
[0006] Further, in Patent Document 2, by providing a front edge facing the front of the wiper, a left side edge facing the left side of the wiper, and a right side edge facing the right side of the wiper, it is possible to drain water from a curved surface that is complicatedly curved like the inner surface of a bathtub, or a narrow portion such as between adjacent faucets or between a faucet and a wall.
[0007] However, even in this invention, the handle itself becomes an obstacle, and there are cases where drainage cannot be performed depending on the width of the gap.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0008] In order to solve the above problems, the invention according to claim 1 includes a handle portion, a first drainage member provided at the tip of the handle portion, and a second drainage member provided at the rear end of the handle portion. The second drainage member is provided in a direction 90 degrees with respect to the first drainage member, and the total length of the second drainage member is half or less of the total length of the first drainage member.
Advantages of the Invention
[0009] According to the invention of claim 1, even in a narrow gap, like the wiper 3 having only two drainage members of different sizes shown in Fig. 7b), it is possible to provide a wiper that can drain with the second drainage member 21 as shown in Fig. 7a) without the first drainage member 31 getting in the way.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention
[0011] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are examples for explaining the present invention, and the present invention is not intended to be limited only to those embodiments. Further, the present invention can be variously modified without departing from the gist thereof. Furthermore, the same reference numerals are given to the same components in each drawing as much as possible, and redundant explanations are omitted.
[0012] <Embodiment> The drain wiper 1 according to Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the drain wiper 1 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the drain wiper 1 according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention, FIG. 3 is a side view of the drain wiper 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 4 is a side view of the drain wiper 2 according to the embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 3 is a rear view of the drain wiper 1 and the drain wiper 2 according to the embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a bottom view of the drain wiper 1 and the drain wiper 2 according to the embodiment of the present invention.
[0013] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, the drain wiper 1 includes a first drain member mounting bar 111 and a first drain member 11 at the tip of the handle portion 13, and a second drain member mounting portion 121 and a second drain member 12 at the rear end of the handle portion 13. The materials of the first drain member 11 and the second drain member 12 are not particularly defined, but in order to drain water, a rubber material is preferably used.
[0014] As shown in the figure, the second drain member 12 is provided in the 90-degree direction with respect to the first drain member 11. By providing the second drain member 12 in the 90-degree direction, even when the overall length of the first drain member 11 is long, it is possible to drain water in a narrow gap.
[0015] The overall length of the second drain member 12 is not particularly defined, but it may be half or less of the overall length of the first drain member 11. Preferably, the overall length L11 of the first drain member 11 is 150 mm to 250 mm, the overall length L12 of the second drain member 12 is 10 mm to 50 mm, and more preferably, the overall length L11 of the first drain member 11 is 180 mm to 220 mm, and the overall length L12 of the second drain member 12 is 20 mm to 40 mm.
[0016] The shape of the second water cutoff member attachment part 121 and the second water cutoff member 12 may be triangular as in the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, or may be quadrilateral as in the second embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, and the shape is not particularly defined.
[0017] The width W13 of the handle part 13 is not particularly defined, but in order to enable water cutoff in a narrow gap, it is preferably shorter than the total length L12 of the second water cutoff member 12. Also, the total length L13 of the handle part 13 is not particularly defined, but considering usability, it is preferably 200 mm to 300 mm.
[0018] As shown in the figure, the handle part 13 may be provided with a hole part 14 for the purpose of hanging it with a hook F. In the illustration, a square hole part 14 is provided at the rear end of the handle part 13, but the diameter, shape, and position of the hole part 14 are not particularly defined as long as the strength of the handle part 13 can be maintained.
[0019] Also, as shown in the figure, the back surface of the handle part 13 may be provided with a magnet part 15 for the purpose of adhering to an iron part or the like. In the illustration, a square magnet part 15 is provided near the rear end of the handle part 13, but the shape and position of the magnet part 15 are not particularly defined as long as the self-weight of the water cutoff wiper 1 can be held by adsorption with the magnet.
[0020] <Embodiment and usage method> Using FIGS. 7 to 9, the embodiment and usage method of the water cutoff wiper 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 7 is an example diagram of the water cutoff wiper 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 8 is a diagram of the state of holding the water cutoff wiper 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 9 is a diagram showing the difference between the wiper 3 having simply two water cutoff members of different sizes and the water cutoff wiper 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention.
[0021] For water cutoff in a wide area, water cutoff is performed using the long first water cutoff member 11 in the same manner as a water cutoff wiper without the second water cutoff member 12. For example, the faucet 21 and the back shown in FIG. 7a), and the faucet 22 and the back shown in FIG. 7b) are performed using the second water cutoff member 12 as shown in the figure.
[0022] Since the angle r of the second drain member 12 with respect to the first drain member 11 is provided in the 90-degree direction, even in a narrow gap, the first drain member 11 and the handle 13 do not become obstacles, and draining is possible.
[0023] The reason why the second drain member 12 is provided with the angle r in the 90-degree direction with respect to the first drain member 11 will be described using FIG. 9. As shown in FIG. 9b), in the wiper 3 having simply two drain members of different sizes without providing the angle r, even if the second drain member 32 is provided in a narrow gap, the first drain member 31 inhibits the entry into the gap, and the second drain member 32 cannot enter the narrow gap.
[0024] Therefore, as shown in FIG. 9a), by providing the second drain member 12 in the 90-degree direction with respect to the first drain member 11, the second drain member 12 enters the narrow gap, and draining is possible.
[0025] When the hole portion 14 is provided, after using the drain wiper 1, as shown in FIG. 8a), it is possible to pass the hook F through the hole portion 14 and suspend and hold it.
[0026] When the magnet portion 15 is provided, after using the drain wiper 1, as shown in FIG. 8b), it is possible to adsorb and hold it on an iron portion such as a refrigerator R.
