Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a cleaning tool, and more particularly to a cleaning tool that uses adhesive tape. [Background technology]
[0002] Adhesive rollers and sheet-type cleaning wipers are known. Sticky rollers take time to peel off, and sheet-type cleaning wipers can remove dust from flooring but cannot remove dust from carpets, which is a problem. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0003] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3242629 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] An object of the present invention is to provide a cleaning tool that is suitable for cleaning floors without needing to use a vacuum cleaner, or for removing small amounts of dust or hair from clothes. [Means for solving the problem]
[0005] A cleaning tool having a main body and two or more support parts extending forward from the main body, the support parts being plate-shaped or rod-shaped, the support parts being flexible in the vertical direction, the support parts supporting the adhesive tape by adhering the adhesive tape to their upper surfaces, and when the adhesive tape is adhered to the upper surface of the support parts, the adhesive surface of the adhesive tape is exposed between the support parts when viewed from above. [Effects of the Invention]
[0006] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a cleaning tool that is suitable for cleaning floors without needing to take out a vacuum cleaner, or for removing small amounts of dust or hair from clothes. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0008] A preferred embodiment of the cleaning tool 100 of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 1. Overview of the embodiment (1) I usually use adhesive tape to clean the floor when I don't need to get out the vacuum cleaner, or to remove small amounts of dust or hair from my clothes. (2) I used to use sticky rollers and sheet-type cleaning wipers, but recently I have been using sticky tape. (3) However, I stopped using the adhesive roller because it took too much time to peel it off. Sheet-type cleaning wipers can remove dust from flooring, but they don't remove dust from carpets, so I didn't use them. (4) Although adhesive tape is easy to peel off and use, it quickly sticks to itself, reducing the area of the adhesive tape. This reduces the amount of dust and hair that can be removed, and it is inefficient to have to cut it multiple times and reuse it. (5) The key points of the invention are as follows: (a) By attaching the adhesive tape to the “adhesive tape holder”, the adhesive tapes will not stick to each other and you can use the adhesive surface to the maximum extent. (b) Since the adhesive tape can be quickly attached and used, it has better time performance than the conventional adhesive roller. (c) There is no need to keep a replacement tape dedicated to the adhesive roller, so that space is available. (Suitable for minimalists and in line with the times) (d) Since it is an adhesive tape, it is inexpensive. (e) Because of its simple structure, it can be manufactured at low cost. (f) Since it is convenient, it will sell well even if it is a bit expensive if its design is enhanced. (g) We are also considering a handy type that can be used for cleaning shelves etc. and removing dust from clothes. The length of the holder will be shorter than the floor type. (h) I have been using it myself until now and there have been no problems, but as a precaution, it is better not to use the adhesive tape on delicate places where the paint may peel off. That kind of caution is necessary.
[0009] 2. Details of the Embodiment FIG. 1 is a front view. The main body 1 of the cleaning tool 100 is, for example, in the shape of a rectangular plate. The support portion 2 extends from one end 3 of the main body 1 in one direction, and the direction in which the support portion 2 extends is defined as the forward direction. Based on the usage, the direction of the floor is defined as the downward direction. The front-back direction, the left-right direction, and the up-down direction are orthogonal to each other.
[0010] The cleaning tool 100 has a main body 1 and a support portion 2 that extends forward from the main body 1. The support portion 2 is in the shape of a plate or a rod, and there are two or more of them. The support portion 2 is not bent in the up-down direction. By adhering an adhesive tape to the upper surface of the support portion 2, the support portion 2 supports the adhesive tape. When the adhesive tape is adhered to the upper surface of the support portion 2, when viewed from above, the adhesive surface of the adhesive tape is exposed between the support portions 2. Also, by adhering an adhesive tape to the upper surface of one end 3 of the main body 1 on the side where the support portion 2 is located, the adhesive tape is supported. In this embodiment, a plastic plate is punched into a U-shape to integrally form the main body 1 and the support portion 2. FIG. 2 is a front view. The main body 1 is attached to a squeegee. FIG. 3 is a front view showing the adhesive tape attached to the main body 1. 4 is a side view. The cleaning tool 100 is slid to remove dirt. Figure 5 shows an example of a handheld type. Cute designs, cool designs... There are a variety of handle designs available.
[0011] Therefore, the cleaning tool 100 of this embodiment can provide a cleaning tool that can be used to clean floors without needing to use a vacuum cleaner, or that is suitable for removing small amounts of dust or hair from clothes. [Explanation of symbols]
