Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a cleaning tool such as a toilet brush, and more particularly to a cleaning tool having a cleaning support part attached to the tip of a handle, and a flexible cleaning body attached to the cleaning support part covering the entire periphery, including the upper and lower surfaces. [Background technology]

[0002] As the above-mentioned cleaning tool, there is a cleaning tool for cleaning a toilet bowl shown in Patent Document 1. In this cleaning tool, a cleaning body longer than the overall circumference of a plate-shaped cleaning support part integrally formed at the tip of the handle is wound around the cleaning support part in a state where both ends of the cleaning body are overlapped on the upper surface side of the cleaning support part. A handle insertion hole into which the grip part of the handle can be inserted and an opening hole for exposing a pair of engagement grooves formed in the center of the cleaning support part to the upper side are formed through one end of the cleaning body in the longitudinal direction. In addition, a pair of claw insertion holes for a pair of engagement claws of an engagement fixing body for clamping and fixing both ends of the cleaning body in the overlapped state between the cleaning support part and the cleaning support part are formed through the other end of the cleaning body in the longitudinal direction. The claw insertion holes at the other end of the cleaning body are positioned above the opening hole at one end of the cleaning body when both ends of the cleaning body are overlapped one above the other. The engaging claws of the engaging fixture pass through the claw insertion holes and the opening holes at both ends of the cleaning body and engage with the engaging grooves of the cleaning support part, thereby clamping and fixing both ends of the overlapped cleaning body between the cleaning support part and the engaging fixture.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 3-11896 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In the above-mentioned cleaning tool, since both ends of the cleaning body are overlapped vertically, the inner ends of the cleaning body that do not contact the surface to be cleaned are wasted, and the cleaning body is disadvantageously bulky on the upper surface side of the cleaning support part. Moreover, since it is necessary to form opening holes and claw insertion holes through which the engaging claws of the engaging fixed body pass at both longitudinal ends of the cleaning body, and to form engaging grooves in the center of the cleaning support part to engage with the engaging claws of the engaging fixed body, the cost of the cleaning tool increases.

[0005] In view of this situation, a main object of the present invention is to provide a cleaning tool in which the cleaning element can be configured compactly without waste. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The first characteristic feature of the present invention is that the tip of the handle In a state where the tip portion extends toward the tip side A cleaning tool having a cleaning support part to which a flexible cleaning body is attached, the cleaning body covering the entire periphery including the upper and lower surfaces of the cleaning support part, A mounting hole into which the handle attachment portion of the cleaning support portion is inserted is formed through one end side of the cleaning body in the longitudinal direction, The longitudinal direction of the cleaning body is aligned with the extension direction of the cleaning support part. The cleaning body, With the handle attachment portion of the cleaning support part inserted into the attachment hole, To the cleaning support part In the extending direction of the cleaning support part Wrap it around a single loop and attach it. Wrapped and attached The cleaning body Both of the longitudinal directions The cleaning device has a pressing and fixing portion for pressing and fixing the end portion against the cleaning support portion from the outside.

[0007] According to this configuration, the cleaning body is wound around the cleaning support part in a single ring shape, so there is no waste of material for the cleaning body. Moreover, the cleaning body wound around the cleaning support part can be configured compactly while ensuring the circumferential length of the cleaning surface on the outer circumferential side. Moreover, because the end of the cleaning body is pressed and fixed from the outside to the cleaning support part by the pressing and fixing part, it is possible to reduce the need to drill holes for fixing the cleaning body, and the cost of the cleaning tool can be reduced.

[0008] The second characteristic configuration of the present invention is that the cleaning body is wrapped around the cleaning support part in a single ring shape with both longitudinal end faces butted together, and the pressing and fixing part presses and fixes at least both ends of the cleaning body that are butted together from the outside against the cleaning support part.

[0009] According to this configuration, the cleaning body is attached to the cleaning support part by wrapping the cleaning body in a single ring shape with both end faces in the longitudinal direction butted against each other, so that a simple joining means can be used, such as gluing both end faces of the cleaning body in the butted state with an adhesive. Moreover, both end parts of the cleaning body in the butted state can be efficiently pressed and fixed by the pressing and fixing part with a small pressing area.

[0010] A third characteristic configuration of the present invention is that the pressing and fixing portion comprises a pressing body that presses an area extending over the outer surfaces of both end portions of the cleaning body, and a handle attachment portion that fixes the pressing body to the handle in a pressing state.

[0011] According to this configuration, by fixing the handle attachment part of the pressing and fixing part to the handle, both ends of the cleaning body can be pressed and fixed to the cleaning support part by the pressing body. Therefore, the number of processes for the cleaning support part and the cleaning body can be reduced, and the cost of the cleaning tool can be reduced.

[0012] A fourth characteristic configuration of the present invention is that the handle attachment portion of the pressing and fixing portion is provided on the cleaning support portion. The above The cleaning body is configured so as to be freely fitted and attached to the connection port at the tip of the handle in an overlapping state with the handle attachment part, and when both handle attachment parts are fitted and attached to the connection port of the handle, the distance between the opposing surfaces of the cleaning support part and the pressing body is configured to be a clamping distance that presses and fixes the cleaning body.

[0013] According to this configuration, the handle attachment part of the pressing and fixing part and the handle attachment part of the cleaning support part are overlapped, and the overlapped handle attachment parts are fitted and attached to the connection port at the tip of the handle. This allows the distance between the opposing surfaces of the cleaning support part and the pressing body to be a clamping distance that allows the cleaning body to be pressed and fixed, making the fixing work of the cleaning body quick and easy.

[0014] A fifth characteristic feature of the present invention is that the cleaning support portion is provided with a claw portion extending toward the pressing surface of the pressing body.

[0015] According to this configuration, when the pressing body presses the outer surfaces of both ends of the cleaning body, the claws extending from the cleaning support part toward the pressing surface of the pressing body bite into the cleaning body and simultaneously clamp the cleaning body between the pressing surface of the pressing body and the claws. This makes it possible to firmly clamp and fix the cleaning body without any shifting movement, even with a simple mounting structure in which the pressing body presses the area covering the outer surfaces of both ends of the cleaning body toward the cleaning support part.

[0016] The sixth characteristic configuration of the present invention is that a positioning engagement portion that engages from the overlapping direction is provided at the overlapping portion between the handle attachment portion of the cleaning support part and the handle attachment portion of the pressure fixing part, and a slip-out prevention member is provided across the tip of the handle and the handle attachment portion of the cleaning support part or the handle attachment portion of the pressure fixing part.

[0017] According to this configuration, when the handle attachment part of the pressing fixation part and the handle attachment part of the cleaning support part are fitted and attached in an overlapping state to the connection port at the tip of the handle, the engagement parts provided at the overlapping parts of both handle attachment parts engage from the overlapping direction, preventing relative movement of both handle attachment parts in the fitting and attachment direction. Therefore, by simply providing a slip-out prevention member across the tip of the handle and the handle attachment part of the cleaning support part or the handle attachment part of the pressing fixation part, it is possible to reliably prevent both handle attachment parts from slipping out of the handle. This makes it possible to simplify the slip-out prevention structure between the handle attachment part of the pressing fixation part and the handle attachment part of the cleaning support part.

[0019] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The cleaning tool A shown in Fig. 1 is suitable for use in cleaning toilet bowls. As shown in Figs. 1 to 3, this toilet cleaning tool A includes a synthetic resin handle 1, a synthetic resin cleaning support part 2 attached to the tip of the handle 1, and a flexible cleaning body 3 that covers the entire periphery, including the upper surface 21a and lower surface 21b, of a cleaning support main body 21 that is a component of the cleaning support part 2.

[0020] The cleaning body 3 used in the cleaning tool A of the present application is attached to the cleaning support body 21 in a single ring shape with both end faces 3a, 3b in the longitudinal direction butted against each other, as shown in Figs. 1 and 6. The both end faces 3a, 3b of the cleaning body 3 are arranged in a substantially linear portion offset toward the tip end of the handle 1 on the upper surface 21a of the cleaning support body 21, as shown in Figs. 6 and 7. The both end faces 3a, 3b of the cleaning body 3 in the butted state are bonded to each other with an adhesive. Furthermore, a pressing and fixing part 4 is provided for pressing and fixing at least both end parts 3A, 3B of the cleaning body 3 in the butted state to the cleaning support body 21 from the outside.

[0021] As described above, the cleaning body 3 is wound around the cleaning support body 21 of the cleaning support part 2 in a single ring shape with both end faces 3a, 3b in the longitudinal direction butted against each other, so there is no waste of material for the cleaning body 3 compared to, for example, a case where a cleaning body 3 longer than the entire circumferential length of the cleaning support body 21 is wound around with both end parts overlapping each other. In addition, the cleaning body 3 wound around the cleaning support body 21 can be compactly configured while ensuring the circumferential length of the cleaning surface on the outer circumferential side. Moreover, since both end parts 3A, 3B of the cleaning body 3 in the butted state are pressed and fixed from the outside to the cleaning support body 21 by the pressing and fixing part 4, it is possible to reduce the need to make holes for fixing the cleaning body 3, and the cost of the cleaning tool A can be reduced.

[0022] Next, the configuration of each part of the cleaning tool A will be described in detail. As shown in FIG. 1, handle 1 comprises an elongated, straight handle portion 11 having a horizontally elongated rectangular cross-sectional shape, an elongated, straight handle portion 12 with a rectangular cross-section extending in a straight line from the tip of handle portion 11, and an elongated, curved handle portion 13 with a rectangular cross-section extending downward and forward from the tip of straight handle portion 12. At the tip of the curved handle 13, as shown in Fig. 7, a connection port 14 having a horizontally elongated rectangular cross section that opens onto the tip surface is formed. A square-shaft-shaped handle attachment part 22 formed integrally with the base end of the cleaning support body 21 of the cleaning support part 2, which will be described later, and a square-shaft-shaped handle attachment part 42 formed integrally with the base end of the pressing body 41 of the pressing and fixing part 4 are fitted and attached to this connection port 14 of the curved handle 13 in an overlapping state so as to be free to slide only.

[0023] 7, a first through hole 15 is formed in the curved handle 13 at the middle of the region where the connection port 14 is formed, penetrating in a horizontal width direction perpendicular to the fitting and mounting direction of the handle attachment part 22 of the cleaning support part 2. A second through hole 23 is formed in the handle attachment part 22 of the cleaning support part 2, which communicates in the width direction with the first through hole 15 of the curved handle 13 when the handle attachment part 22 of the cleaning support part 2 is inserted into a predetermined fitting position in the connection port 14, as shown in FIG. 6. Then, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, a pin-shaped retaining member 5 that prevents the handle attachment part 22 of the cleaning support body 21 from coming off is detachably inserted between the first through hole 15 of the curved handle 13 and the second through hole 23 of the handle attachment part 22 of the cleaning support part 2.

[0024] As shown in Figs. 2, 7 and 8, the cleaning support part 2 includes a plate-shaped cleaning support body 21 formed in a generally rectangular outline shape in plan view, and a square-shaft-shaped handle attachment part 22 extending integrally from the widthwise center of the base-side short side of the cleaning support body 21 at an inclination angle of approximately 45 degrees. As shown in Fig. 5, the cleaning support body 21 is configured to have a width smaller than the width of the cleaning body 3. In addition, as shown in Figs. 2, 3 and 8, the front end part 21A of the cleaning support body 21 is curved upward (toward the upper surface 21a of the cleaning support body 21) at an angle of approximately 90 degrees. The curved front end part 21A of the cleaning support body 21 makes it easy to clean the back side of the edge (sometimes called a rim) that protrudes toward the center of the upper opening of the toilet bowl.

[0025] As shown in Figs. 2 to 4, a cone-shaped sharp first small protrusion 24 capable of biting into the inner surface of the cleaning body 3 is integrally formed at each of two locations spaced apart in the long side direction on both sides of the upper surface 21a of the cleaning support body 21 in the width direction. A cone-shaped sharp second small protrusion 25 capable of biting into the inner surface of the cleaning body 3 is integrally formed at each of two locations spaced apart in the long side direction on both sides of the lower surface 21b of the cleaning support body 21 in the width direction. A cone-shaped sharp third small protrusion 26 capable of biting into the inner surface of the cleaning body 3 is integrally formed at each of both sides of the tip surface 21c of the curved front end 21A of the cleaning support body 21 in the width direction. The first small protrusion 24, the second small protrusion 25, and the third small protrusion 26 are each configured to have the same or approximately the same protruding height. Each of the first small protrusions 24 is configured to have a gently inclined posture with the tip side slightly inclined toward the base end of the cleaning support body 21 with respect to a vertical line passing through the center of the protrusion base. Each of the second small protrusions 25 is configured to have a gently inclined posture with the tip side slightly inclined toward the tip end of the cleaning support body 21 with respect to a vertical line passing through the center of the protrusion base. Each of the third small protrusions 26 is configured to have a substantially perpendicular posture with respect to the tip surface 21c of the curved front end portion 21A of the cleaning support body 21.

[0026] 2 to 4 and 8, a cone-shaped sharp claw portion 27 extending toward the pressing surface 41a of the pressing body 41 is integrally formed at the center of the cleaning support body 21 in the width direction and at a portion corresponding to the tip of the pressing surface 41a of the pressing body 41 of the pressing and fixing part 4. This claw portion 27 is more than twice the protruding height of the first small protrusion 24, and its tip is located near the pressing surface 41a of the pressing body 41. In addition, the tip side of the claw portion 27 is inclined toward the base end side of the cleaning support body 21 with respect to a vertical line passing through the center of the claw root, and is configured at an inclination angle larger than the inclination angle of the first small protrusion 24. A rectangular punch hole 28 for forming the claw portion 27 is formed through the cleaning support body 21 at the center in the width direction.

[0027] When the pressing body 41 presses the outer surfaces of both end portions 3A, 3B of the cleaning body 3, the claws 27 extending from the cleaning support part 2 toward the pressing surface 41a of the pressing body 41 bite into the cleaning body 3, and at the same time, the clamping force of the cleaning body 3 between the pressing surface 41a of the pressing body 41 and the claws 27 becomes stronger. As a result, the cleaning body 3 can be firmly clamped and fixed without any shifting movement, even with a simple mounting structure in which the pressing body 41 presses the area covering the outer surfaces of both end portions 3A, 3B of the cleaning body 3 toward the upper surface 21a of the cleaning support main body 21.

[0028] The handle attachment part 22 of the cleaning support part 2 has a height and width greater than the thickness of the cleaning support body 21, and is configured in the shape of a rectangular square shaft with a horizontally elongated cross section. The width of the handle attachment part 22 of the cleaning support part 2 is set to a dimension slightly smaller than the width of the connection port 14 of the curved handle part 13. The height of the handle attachment part 22 of the cleaning support part 2 is set to a dimension smaller than the height of the connection port 14 of the curved handle part 13. Therefore, when the handle attachment part 22 of the cleaning support part 2 is inserted into a predetermined fitting position in the connection port 14, a fitting space is formed between the upper surface of the handle attachment part 22 and the ceiling surface of the connection port 14, into which the handle attachment part 42 of the pressing fixation part 4 can be freely fitted and attached in a sliding state.

[0029] 3 and 7, the upper surface of the handle attachment part 22 of the cleaning support part 2 is configured so as to be able to overlap in the height direction with the lower surface of the handle attachment part 42 of the pressing fix part 4. The overlapping contour shape of the handle attachment part 22 of the cleaning support part 2 and the handle attachment part 42 of the pressing fix part 4 is configured to be similar to but slightly smaller than the inner contour shape of the connection port 14 of the curved handle part 13. 2 and 3, a positioning engagement portion 6 that engages from the overlapping direction is provided at the overlapping portion between the handle attachment portion 22 of the cleaning support part 2 and the handle attachment portion 42 of the pressing fixation part 4. This engagement portion 6 has a semicircular engagement groove 6A formed along the width direction on the upper surface of the handle attachment portion 22 of the cleaning support part 2, and a semicircular engagement protrusion 6B formed along the width direction on the lower surface of the handle attachment portion 42 of the pressing fixation part 4. The engagement depth between the engagement groove 6A and the engagement protrusion 6B is set to an engagement allowance that is sufficiently larger than the gap between the inner surface of the connection port 14 of the curved handle part 13 and the outer surfaces of the handle attachment portion 22 of the cleaning support part 2 and the handle attachment portion 42 of the pressing fixation part 4 that are inserted in an overlapping state, as shown in FIG.

[0030] Then, as shown in FIG. 7, the handle attachment part 22 of the cleaning support part 2 and the handle attachment part 42 of the pressing and fixing part 4 are fitted and attached in an overlapping state to the connection port 14 at the tip of the handle 1. In this state, the engagement groove 6A of the engagement part 6 provided at the overlapping part of both handle attachment parts 22, 42 and the engagement protrusion 6B are engaged from the overlapping direction, and the relative movement of both handle attachment parts 22, 42 in the fitting and mounting direction is prevented. Therefore, by simply inserting the pin-shaped retaining member 5 across the first through hole 15 of the curved handle part 13 and the second through hole 23 of the handle attachment part 22 of the cleaning support body 21, it is possible to reliably prevent both handle attachment parts 22, 42 from slipping out of the connection port 14 of the handle 1. Therefore, the retaining structure between the handle attachment part 42 of the pressing and fixing part 4 and the handle attachment part 22 of the cleaning support part 2 can be simplified.

[0031] 2, 3 and 9, the pressing and fixing part 4 includes a flat pressing body 41 capable of pressing from the outside an area covering the outer surfaces of both ends 3A, 3B of the cleaning body 3, and a handle attachment part 42 extending integrally at an inclination angle of about 45 degrees from the center in the width direction of the base end short side of the pressing body 41. The width of the pressing body 41 is the same or about the same as the width of the cleaning support main body 21, as shown in FIG. As shown in Figures 3 and 7, when the handle mounting portion 42 of the pressing fixing portion 4 and the handle mounting portion 22 of the cleaning support portion 2 are fitted and attached to the connection port 14 of the handle 1 in an overlapping state, the opposing surface distance W between the cleaning support main body 21 and the pressing body 41 is configured to a clamping distance that fixes both end portions 3A, 3B of the cleaning body 3 in a pressing state.

[0032] 7, when the handle attachment part 42 of the pressing and fixing part 4 and the handle attachment part 22 of the cleaning support part 2 are inserted into a predetermined fitting position in the connection port 14 of the handle 1 while overlapping each other, the base end surface 41b of the pressing body 41 abuts against the tip surface 13a of the ceiling wall 13A that constitutes the connection port 14 of the curved handle part 13. In other words, the base end surface 41b of the pressing body 41 is configured as an insertion position regulating surface that regulates both handle attachment parts 22, 42 to the predetermined fitting position.

[0033] 7, the handle attachment part 42 of the pressing and fixing part 4 and the handle attachment part 22 of the cleaning support part 2 are overlapped, and the overlapped handle attachment parts 22, 42 are fitted and attached to the connection port 14 of the handle 1. As a result, the opposing surface distance W between the upper surface 21a of the cleaning support main body 21 and the pressing surface 41a of the pressing body 41 becomes the clamping distance for pressing and fixing both ends 3A, 3B of the cleaning body 3, so that the fixing work of the cleaning body 3 can be performed quickly and easily.

[0034] 2, the cleaning body 3 is made of a mat-like material such as nonwoven fabric with relatively firm elasticity, and is attached to the cleaning support body 21 by wrapping it around in a single ring shape with both longitudinal end faces 3a, 3b butted against each other. At one longitudinal end of the cleaning body 3 and in the center in the width direction, an attachment hole 31 is formed through which the handle attachment part 42 of the pressing and fixing part 4 and the handle attachment part 22 of the cleaning support part 2 are inserted in an overlapping state. In this embodiment, the cleaning element 3 has an outer surface layer to which a cleaning treatment agent containing fluororesin powder is adhered.

[0035] In this embodiment, the retaining member 5 inserted between the first through-hole 15 of the curved handle 13 and the second through-hole 23 of the handle attachment part 22 of the cleaning support body 21 can be freely attached and detached. Therefore, if a cleaning brush is prepared that has a single handle attachment part with the same contour shape as both the handle attachment parts 22, 42 in the overlapping state and has a group of brush bristles planted in the cleaning part, it can be replaced with the cleaning brush as needed.

[0036] [Another embodiment] (1) In the above embodiment, the retaining member 5 is provided between the curved handle portion 13 of the handle 1 and the handle attachment portion 22 of the cleaning support portion 2 to prevent the handle attachment portion 22 of the cleaning support portion 2 from coming off, but is not limited to this retaining structure. For example, the retaining member 5 may be provided between the curved handle portion 13 of the handle 1 and the handle attachment portion 42 of the pressing fixation portion 4 to prevent the handle attachment portion 42 of the pressing fixation portion 4 from coming off.

[0037] (2) In the above embodiment, the handle attachment part 22 of the cleaning support part 2 and the handle attachment part 42 of the pressing fixation part 4 are configured to be freely fitted and attached in an overlapping state to the connection port 14 at the tip of the handle 1, but the attachment structure is not limited to this. For example, the handle attachment part 22 of the cleaning support part 2 may be integrally formed at the tip of the handle 1, and the handle attachment part 42 of the pressing fixation part 4 may be attached to the tip of the handle 1 in a pressing state in which both ends 3A, 3B of the cleaning body 3, which are in a butted state, are pressed and fixed from the outside against the cleaning support main body 21.

[0038] (3) In the above embodiment, the cleaning element 3 is attached to the cleaning support body 21 by wrapping it around in a single ring shape with both end faces 3a, 3b in the longitudinal direction butted against each other, but the wrapping structure is not limited to this. For example, the cleaning element 3 may be attached to the cleaning support body 21 by wrapping it around in a single ring shape with a gap provided between both end faces 3a, 3b in the longitudinal direction.

[0039] (4) In the above embodiment, both end portions 3A, 3B of the cleaning body 3 are pressed and fixed from the outside to the cleaning support body 21 by the pressing and fixing part 4, but this pressing structure is not limited to this. For example, when both end faces 3a, 3b of the cleaning body 3 are bonded to each other, or when the other end portion of the cleaning body 3 is bonded or engaged to the cleaning support body 21, only one end portion of the cleaning body 3 may be pressed and fixed to the cleaning support body 21 by the pressing and fixing part 4.
