Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a waist pouch for storing a dust cloth when wiping with the dust cloth. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, there have been known waist pouches in which a partition function is provided in the main storage section of a single waist pouch, allowing multiple items to be stored. ( Patent Document 1) 。 However, it is not easy to quickly determine what to take out and what to store in the main storage section of a single waist pouch. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2014-061018 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] When wiping with a rag, you fill a bucket with water or lukewarm water, move the bucket to the area where you want to start wiping, soak the rag in the water or lukewarm water, wring it out, wipe the area, then return the dirty rag to the bucket, rinse it in the water or lukewarm water in the bucket, wring it out, and return to the area where you were working to continue wiping. This takes time to move between the bucket and the wiping area, and also consumes extra physical energy from the worker.

[0005] The present invention is a waist pouch characterized by a waterproof interior storage compartment. It stores both pre- and post-use rags. By placing pre-used rags in one compartment and used rags in the other, pre- and post-used rags can be stored separately without mixing. Another object of the present invention is to provide a waist pouch with multiple storage compartments, rather than just one, making it easy to take things in and out. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The waist pouch of the first embodiment is characterized by having a waist belt that can be attached and detached to a person's waist, a waist belt loop for passing the waist belt through, and at least two independent storage compartments with waterproof interiors, which are arranged at least separately on the left and right sides when the waist belt is attached to the person's waist. The second embodiment of the cleaning method is characterized in that the storage compartments of the waist pouch of the first embodiment are separated into left and right compartments and placed around a person's waist using the waist belt, a wet rag is stored in one of the left and right storage compartments, the rag is removed from one of the left and right storage compartments to clean, and the rag soiled by cleaning is stored in the other left and right storage compartment. When wiping with a rag, the user places the waist belt through the waist belt loop of the pouch for storing the rags, attaches the waist belt to the waist, and then soaks and wrings out several rags in a bucket of water or lukewarm water before placing them in one of the pouches. The user moves to the area where the wiping is to be performed and begins wiping. As the rags become soiled, the user replaces them one by one and continues wiping. The used and soiled rags are placed in the other pouch. In this case, the user can continue working without returning to the bucket to rinse the soiled rags until all the prepared rags have been used. Furthermore, one pouch is placed in a location that is easy to use with the right hand, such as on the right side as viewed from the front, and the other is placed in a location that is easy to use with the left hand, such as on the left side as viewed from the front. The interiors of the right and left pouches are waterproofed to prevent water from seeping out. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] One pouch contains several pre-rinsed and wrung-out rags, allowing for continuous wiping without having to return to the bucket to rinse and wring out the rags until all are used. Used and soiled rags are placed in the other pouch. This allows for clear separation between dirty and unused rags for storage. This eliminates the need to return to the bucket each time a dirty rag is used to rinse and wring it out. This invention is expected to improve the efficiency of wiping with rags. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0008] [Figure 1] 1 is a diagram of a waist pouch according to the present invention. [Figure 2] 1 is a drawing of a waist pouch having a third pouch. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] Figure 1 shows an embodiment of a waist pouch according to the present invention. When wiping with a dust cloth, waist belt 1 is passed through waist belt loop 4 of right pouch 2 for storing a dust cloth, and waist belt 1 is passed through waist belt loop 5 of left pouch 3 for storing a dust cloth, and the waist pouch is attached to the waist by waist belt 1.

[0010] Soak several rags in a bucket of cold or lukewarm water, wring them out, and then place them in right pouch 2. Proceed to the area where you will be wiping, take out one rag from right pouch 2, and begin wiping. When the rag becomes dirty, put the used, soiled rag into left pouch 3, and repeat this process to continue wiping. After you have finished using the rags prepared in right pouch 2, return to where the bucket is, take out the soiled rag from left pouch 3, soak several rags in the bucket of cold or lukewarm water, rinse them, wring them out, and then store them in right pouch 2. Repeat the above process to complete the cleaning.

[0011] In this case, you can continue working until you have used all the prepared wipes without having to go back to the bucket to rinse the dirty wipes.

[0012] The person wiping down can choose to put the unused dust cloth in either the left or right pouch 2 or 3 attached to the waist, depending on which hand is more convenient for them. When wiping down with a dust cloth by hand during major cleaning, the work can be done more efficiently. It also reduces the time required for the work. It is possible to reduce the time required for major wiping down with a dust cloth by hand. [Industrial Applicability]

[0013] This can be applied when items with different purposes are attached to the body. For example, Figure 2 shows an embodiment of a waist pouch for storing hand towels according to the present invention. This can be applied when storing both used and unused hand towels. In this case, by attaching a third pouch 6 next to either of the left or right pouches attached to the waist, a total of three storage compartments can be achieved, and the plastic bag removed from the used hand towel can be stored in the third pouch 6.
