Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a selectively fixable mop, and more particularly to a selectively fixable mop in which a base plate to which a cleaning cloth rag can be attached is rotatable so that the front or back of the base plate can be brought into close contact with a floor, wall, ceiling, etc., allowing for cleaning similar to mopping, and the rotatable base plate is fixed to a fixed part so that the fixed base plate can be used to sweep or scrape the floor, wall, ceiling, etc., allowing for cleaning similar to brushing. [Background technology]

[0002] Generally, cleaning tools are used to clean living spaces such as homes and offices, and are classified into vacuum cleaners that use suction power to suck up dust and foreign objects from the floor, steam cleaners that use steam to heat cleaning sheets or rags to easily clean stubborn dirt from the floor, and mops that clean floors by pushing or pulling a cleaning sheet, rag, or cleaning cloth attached to the bottom.

[0003] On the other hand, the mop is a cleaning tool that allows you to clean by attaching a cleaning sheet, dust cloth, or cleaning cloth waste to the bottom of the mop's handle and pushing it using the handle.It is a cleaning tool that is used to clean floors, walls, etc. in various places by attaching a cleaning sheet, dust cloth, or cleaning cloth waste to the bottom of the main body.

[0004] First, regarding the prior art, Korean Utility Model Patent No. 20-0376049 discloses a mop having a handle with a handle at the top, a dust cloth support means connected to the bottom of the handle, and a cloth dust cloth connected to the dust cloth support means, and a "┌┐"-shaped support device having a support plate with a connection hole at the center of the top, and a support base that extends directly below from both ends of the support plate and has a rotation shaft protrusion at the bottom of the inner surface of the extended end, and a support for the support device. This relates to a detachable dustpan mop, characterized by comprising: a plate-shaped dustpan plate attached to the inside of a base, with male Velcro (registered trademark) surfaces attached to the upper ends of the front and rear surfaces, with a number of anti-slip protrusions protruding from the upper part of the front and rear surfaces, and with insertion grooves in the center of both end surfaces into which the rotation shaft protrusions of the support base are inserted; and a cloth dustpan that wraps around the dustpan plate, with the inner surfaces of each end removably attached to the male Velcro (registered trademark) surfaces on the front and rear surfaces of the dustpan plate.

[0005] When examining the above-mentioned prior art, the emphasis is on the fact that the dustpan plate rotates around the support, allowing both sides of the dustpan plate to be selectively brought into close contact with the floor surface.

[0006] However, since there is no separate component to limit the rotation of the rag plate that rotates around the support, it is difficult for the user to fix the rag plate and use it for brushing purposes such as sweeping or scraping the surface to be cleaned, which creates the problem of being forced to use a separate broom when sweeping or scraping the surface to be cleaned, which is cumbersome. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] The present invention was created to solve the problems of the conventional technology described above, and was completed with a focus on providing a selectively fixable mop that has a fixing part that allows the user to selectively fix the base plate, which is connected to the base plate or the connecting member and rotates, to a mop that has a base plate and a connecting member, thereby allowing the user to limit the rotation of the base plate as needed and use the mop for brushing purposes such as sweeping or scraping floors, walls, ceilings, etc. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a mop comprising a base plate configured to sweep up or scrape and move various substances and objects on the cleaning surface, and a connecting member configured to be connected to the base plate so that the base plate can rotate and having a handle portion on one side so that the user can grip it, wherein the mop is configured to have a fixing portion that is connected to the base plate or the connecting member and can selectively fix the rotating base plate, thereby solving the object. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] The selectively fixable mop of the present invention maintains its original purpose of being able to clean indoors and outdoors by attaching cleaning cloth rags to the base plate or the base plate, and when the user presses the front or back of the base plate against the floor, wall, ceiling, etc. while mopping and needs to brush the surface, such as sweeping or scraping, the fixing part is used to limit the rotation of the base plate so that it can be used for brushing purposes.This makes it possible to easily switch between mopping and brushing with the mop without having to prepare a separate broom, making it a useful invention that provides ease of use for the user.

[0011] To provide a selectively fixable mop in which a base plate to which a cleaning cloth waste can be attached is made rotatable so that the front or back of the base plate can be brought into close contact with a floor, wall, ceiling, etc., to perform cleaning like wiping, and the rotatable base plate is fixed to a fixing part so that the fixed base plate can be used to perform cleaning like brushing, such as sweeping or scraping the floor, wall, ceiling, etc.

[0012] A preferred configuration and operation of the present invention for achieving the above object will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, FIGS. 1 to 13. FIG.

[0013] First, before explaining the present invention, its configuration will be examined based on Figures 1 to 5. The mop comprises a base plate 100 configured to sweep up or scrape and move various substances and objects on the cleaning surface, and a connecting member 200 configured to be connected to the base plate 100, configured to rotate the base plate 100, and having a handle 300 on one side so that the user can grip it. The mop is also configured to have a fixing part 400 configured to be connected to the base plate 100 or the connecting member 200 and to selectively fix the rotating base plate 100.

[0014] The present invention configured as described above will be explained in more detail below. First, a conventional mop includes a base plate 100, a connecting member 200, and a handle portion 300.

[0015] The base plate 100 is formed in a plate shape and is configured so that a cleaning cloth can be selectively attached and detached to one side of the outside.

[0016] In addition, the base plate 100 is axially coupled to a rotation shaft 210 of a connecting member 200 (to be described later) so as to be rotatable about the shaft.

[0017] Here, the cleaning cloth rags can be a wide variety of cleaning sheets, dustcloths, fabrics, dishcloths, and cleaning cloth rags that can absorb conventional water and wipe floors, walls, and ceilings, and the structure by which the cleaning cloth rags are attached to and detached from the base plate 100 can be a wide variety of attachment and detachment structures such as a conventional groove fitting structure or a hook-and-loop fastener structure.

[0018] In the mop configured as described above, the present invention is configured to include a fixing part 400 that is connected to the base plate 100 or the connecting member 200 and can selectively fix the rotating base plate 100.

[0019] That is, the fixing part 400 is configured to be connected to the connecting member 200 and to selectively fix the rotating base plate 100, so that the user can fix the base plate 100 as needed and use it for brushing purposes such as sweeping or scraping the cleaning surface.

[0020] Furthermore, the fixing portion 400 is configured to be able to fix the base plate 100 by restricting its rotation when the base plate 100 is held parallel to the handle portion 300 .

[0021] That is, when the base plate 100 is held parallel to the handle portion 300, it can be fixed by the fixing portion 400, so that the lower surface of the base plate 100 can sweep or scrape the cleaning surface more effectively.

[0022] Meanwhile, a notch 110 is formed in the center of the upper side of the base plate 100, penetrating the front and rear surfaces, and the connecting member 200 comprises a pivot shaft 210 whose two end portions are axially connected to the two end portions inside the notch 110, respectively, and an extension portion 220 that extends in an elongated shape from the center of the pivot shaft 210 upward and has a handle portion 300 on one side of the upper portion.

[0023] Various embodiments of the present invention configured as described above will be described below.

[0024] Embodiment 1 As shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3, the fixing part 400 is configured on one side of the base plate 100, but is configured to be movable to the front or rear surface of the extension part 220 and fixed thereto. When the base plate 100 is maintained parallel to the handle part 300, the fixing part 400 is moved to the front or rear surface of the extension part 220 and positioned on one side of the front or rear surface of the extension part 220, thereby restricting the rotation of the base plate 100 and fixing it.

[0025] In other words, when the fixing part 400 is configured on one side of the base plate 100, away from the front and rear surfaces of the extension part 220, the base plate 100 has a rotatable structure, so that a user can press the front or rear surface of the base plate 100 against the floor surface and use it for purposes such as mopping. When the fixing part 400 is moved so that one and the other ends of the fixing part 400 are positioned on the front and rear surfaces of the extension part 220, even if a certain force is applied to the base plate 100, one and the other ends of the fixing part 400 get caught on the front and rear surfaces of the extension part 220, restricting the rotation of the base plate 100, so that the base plate 100 can be used for purposes such as brushing.

[0026] Meanwhile, the fixing part 400 is configured on one side of the base plate 100 and includes a fixing member 410a configured to be selectively slid or pressed to move to the front and rear surfaces of the extension part 220, and an auxiliary fixing member 430 configured to selectively fix the fixing member 410a that moves to the front and rear surfaces of the extension part 220.

[0027] Here, it is preferable that the fixing member 410a is formed in a shape such that one end and the other end are located at the front and rear surfaces of the extension portion 220 when the fixing member 410a is moved to the front and rear surfaces of the extension portion 220, and it is preferable that the auxiliary fixing member 430 is configured to be able to selectively restrict the movement of the fixing member 410a, which serves to firmly fix the fixing member 410a so as to prevent it from moving due to other external factors when the fixing member 410a is configured on one side of the base plate 100 away from the extension portion 220, or when one and the other ends of the fixing member 410a are located at the front and rear surfaces of the extension portion 220, respectively.

[0028] In addition, the auxiliary fixing member 430 may have a variety of conventional structures that selectively fix the fixing member 410a and restrict the movement of the fixing member 410a. In the present invention, the auxiliary fixing member 430 is configured to be movable up and down on one side of the upper part of the base plate 100 on which the fixing member 410a is configured, and when the auxiliary fixing member 430 moves downward, it presses against the upper part of the fixing member 410a to fix the fixing member 410a.

[0029] In other words, as shown in FIG. 4, the auxiliary fixing member 430 that fixes the fixing member 410a formed on one side of the upper part of the base plate 100 is moved upward so that one and other ends of the fixing member 410a can be positioned on the front and rear surfaces of the extension portion 220, and after one and other ends of the fixing member 410a are positioned on the front and rear surfaces of the extension portion 220, the auxiliary fixing member 430 is moved downward so that the fixing member 410a can be firmly fixed.

[0030] Also, as shown in Figures 6 and 7, grooves 223 are formed in the front and rear portions of the extension portion 220 so that one and the other ends of the fixing member 410a located in the front and rear portions of the extension portion 220 can be inserted therein.

[0031] Also, as shown in Figures 1 to 7, on the other side of the base plate 100, a finishing portion 440 is formed into which one end portion and the other end portion of the fixing member 410a are fitted when the fixing member 410a moves and one end portion and the other end portion of the fixing member 410a are positioned on the front and rear surfaces of the extension portion 220, respectively.

[0032] Embodiment 2 As shown in Figures 8 and 9, the fixing portion 400 is configured on one side of the base plate 100 and includes a fixing member 410b configured to be selectively slid or pressed to fit into the fitting portion 420b of the extension portion 220, and a fitting portion 420b formed on one side of the extension portion 220 so that one end of the fixing member 410b can be fitted in as the fixing member 410b is operated when the base plate 100 is held parallel to the handle portion 300.

[0033] Here, the insertion portion 420b may be inserted into one side of the extension portion 220, or may be formed to penetrate the extension portion 220 from one side to the other side.

[0034] That is, the user can easily restrict the rotation of the base plate 100 by moving the fixing member 410b and inserting one end of the fixing member 410b into the insertion portion 420b, so that the base plate 100, which is fixed by the fixing member 410b and whose rotation is restricted, can be used for purposes such as brushing.

[0035] Embodiment 3 As shown in FIG. 10, the fixing portion 400 is configured so that one side is inserted inside the base plate 100, but can be moved to the front or rear surface of the extension portion 220 to be fixed thereto. When the base plate 100 is maintained parallel to the handle portion 300, one side of the fixing portion 400 can be moved to the front or rear surface of the extension portion 220 to be positioned on one side of the front or rear surface of the extension portion 220, thereby restricting the rotation of the base plate 100 and fixing it.

[0036] Here, it is preferable that one side of the fixing part 400 is inserted inside the base plate 100 and configured to be movable toward the extension part 220, and an auxiliary fixing member 430 may be connected to one side of the fixing part 400 inserted inside the base plate 100, so that a user can move or fix the fixing part 400 using the auxiliary fixing member 430.

[0037] In other words, when the fixed portion 400 is moved so that one end and the other end of the fixed portion 400 are positioned on the front and rear surfaces of the extension portion 220, respectively, the one and other ends of the fixed portion 400 are hooked onto the front and rear surfaces of the extension portion 220, thereby restricting the rotation of the base plate 100, thereby allowing the base plate 100 to be used for purposes such as brushing.

[0038] Embodiment 4 As shown in FIG. 11, the fixing portion 400 is configured such that one end thereof is inserted inside the base plate 100, and includes a fixing member 410c configured to be selectively slid or pressed to fit into the fitting portion 420c of the extension portion 220, and a fitting portion 420c formed on one side of the extension portion 220 so that one end of the fixing member 410c can be fitted in as the fixing member 410c is operated when the base plate 100 is held parallel to the handle portion 300.

[0039] Here, the insertion portion 420c may be inserted into one side of the extension portion 220, or may be formed to penetrate the extension portion 220 from one side to the other side.

[0040] In addition, when the insertion portion 420c is formed penetrating from one side to the other side of the extension portion 220, an auxiliary groove portion 450 is formed on the inner side of the base plate 100 adjacent to the other side of the extension portion 220 so that the end portion of the fixing member 410c, which is inserted and penetrated into one side of the insertion portion 420c, can be inserted therein for more secure fixation.

[0041] That is, the user can easily restrict the rotation of the base plate 100 by moving the fixing member 410c and inserting one end of the fixing member 410c into the insertion portion 420c, so that the base plate 100, which is fixed by the fixing member 410c and whose rotation is restricted, can be used for purposes such as brushing.

[0042] Embodiment 5 As shown in FIG. 12, the fixing part 400 includes a fixing member 410d configured to be movable up and down on one side of the connecting member 200, and an insertion groove 420d formed on one side of the upper part of the base plate 100, in which the notch 110 is formed so that one end of the fixing member 410d, which moves downward as the fixing member 410d is operated when the base plate 100 is maintained parallel to the handle part 300, can be inserted.

[0043] That is, the fixing member 410d is moved downward and one end of the fixing member 410d is inserted into the insertion groove 420d, so that the rotation of the base plate 100 can be easily restricted, and the base plate 100, which is fixed by the fixing member 410d and whose rotation is restricted, can be used for purposes such as brushing.

[0044] Embodiment 6 As shown in FIG. 13, the fixing part 400 includes a fixing member 410e, one end of which is inserted inside the base plate 100 and can be selectively slid or pressed to fit into the through-hole 420e of the rotating shaft 210; a through-hole 420e formed on one side of the rotating shaft 210 along the longitudinal direction of the rotating shaft 210 so that one end of the fixing member 410e can be fitted in as the fixing member 410e is operated when the base plate 100 is held parallel to the handle part 300; and a fixing groove 460 formed inside the base plate 100 so that the end of the fixing member 410e that passes through the rotating shaft 210 can be fitted into the through-hole 420e and fixed.

[0045] That is, the fixing member 410e is moved so that one end of the fixing member 410e is inserted into one side of the through-hole 420e, and the terminal end of the fixing member 410e is fixed by the fixing groove portion 460, thereby restricting the rotation of the base plate 100. As a result, the base plate 100, which is fixed by the fixing member 410e fixed by the fixing groove portion 460 and whose rotation is restricted, can be used for purposes such as brushing.

[0046] The selectively fixable mop of the present invention maintains its original purpose of being able to clean indoors and outdoors by attaching cleaning cloth rags to the base plate or the base plate, and when the user presses the front or back of the base plate against the floor, wall, ceiling, etc. while mopping and needs to brush the surface, such as sweeping or scraping, the fixing part is used to limit the rotation of the base plate so that it can be used for brushing purposes.This makes it possible to easily switch between mopping and brushing with the mop without having to prepare a separate broom, making it a useful invention that provides ease of use for the user.
