Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a jig for an adhesive type cleaning appliance, which is mounted on an adhesive type cleaning appliance that uses a roll paper having an adhesive surface.

Background Art

[0002] There is widely used an adhesive type cleaning appliance having a holder part that can rotatably mount a roll paper wound around a core material in a state where one side is an adhesive surface and the adhesive surface is directed outward, and a handle part that is connected to the holder part and can be gripped by a user.

[0003] When using such an adhesive type cleaning appliance, the user grips the handle part and moves the cleaning appliance back and forth while pressing the adhesive surface of the roll paper mounted on the adhesive type cleaning appliance against a floor surface, clothing, etc. to be cleaned. As a result, the roll paper rotates and moves along the surface to be cleaned, and dust on the surface can be adsorbed onto the adhesive surface, thereby cleaning the surface to be cleaned.

[0004] And when dust adheres to the adhesive surface during use and the adhesive force of the adhesive surface decreases, by turning over and cutting the roll paper on the surface, a new adhesive surface can be exposed to the outside, and the dust adsorption force of the adhesive type cleaning appliance can be maintained.

[0005] By the way, when turning over and cutting the roll paper, by cutting it linearly along the axial direction of the roll paper, the operation can be made easier when turning over and cutting the roll paper next time. However, in reality, it is difficult to cut it linearly. Especially when threads or hairs are attached to the adhesive surface, the operation becomes difficult, and there is a problem that the cutting line becomes zigzag and messy or is cut in an unwanted direction.

[0006] Therefore, in order to facilitate cutting of the roll paper, for example, Patent Document 1 describes a jig having a cutter part which is a long, thin plastic sheet and a shaft hole formed by bending one end of the longitudinal direction of the cutter part at a right angle. This jig has a shaft hole with a notch formed in the shaft hole, and the rotating shaft of the holder part of the adhesive cleaning device is passed through the shaft hole, and the cutter part is attached to the surface of the roll paper, so that it can be attached to the adhesive cleaning device and the adhesive cleaning device can be used with the jig attached.

[0007] When cutting off roll paper with reduced adhesive strength, the other end of the cutter is first lifted to peel up the end of the roll paper that is stuck to it. Next, the peeled end of the roll paper is pinched with the fingers and the outer roll paper is separated from the inner roll paper. At this time, even if the jig is pulled away from the peeled roll paper, the shaft hole is attached to the rotating shaft of the adhesive cleaning device, so it does not detach from the adhesive cleaning device.

[0008] Then, after reattaching the cutter to the adhesive surface of the new, exposed roll of paper, hold the cutter in place with your finger and cut along the cutter to remove the old roll of paper. This makes it easy to cut the old roll of paper in a straight line. [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]

[0009] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2009-160359 [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0010] Incidentally, when the adhesive strength of the roll paper was low, conventional adhesive cleaning tool jigs would sometimes shift from their adhesive position or fall off while cleaning with the adhesive cleaning tool.

[0011] The present invention has been made in view of the above, and aims to provide a jig for an adhesive cleaning device that prevents the jig from shifting or falling off even when the adhesive cleaning device is used with the jig attached. [Means for solving the problem]

It comprises a connecting portion, a long side portion erected vertically from one end of the connecting portion, and a short side portion erected vertically from the other end of the connecting portion in the same direction as the long side portion. The aforementioned long side is attached to the roll paper, The short side portion is inserted into the gap between the holder portion of the adhesive cleaning device and the core material of the roll paper, or into the gap between the core material of the roll paper and the roll paper. Furthermore, the long side portion has a protruding end that extends from the end of the roll paper. death, The connecting portion can be positioned on the shaft side connecting the holder portion, which can rotatably mount the roll of paper, and the handle portion, which can be gripped by the user. The thickness of the short side portion is 0.3 mm or more and 0.5 mm or less. The thickness of the connecting portion, the long side portion, and the short side portion are the same. The long side portion can be lifted by pinching and twisting the protruding end. A jig for adhesive cleaning devices characterized by the following features.

[0014] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned adhesive cleaning tool jig, it is preferable that the tip of the short side portion is pointed.

[0015] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned adhesive cleaning tool jig, it is preferable to have a holding side portion that is formed continuously with the short side portion and extends in a direction perpendicular to the vertical direction of the short side portion.

[0016] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned adhesive cleaning device jig, it is preferable that a pair of holding sides are formed via the short side. [Effects of the Invention]

[0017] According to the jig for the adhesive cleaning appliance according to the present invention described above, the jig for the adhesive cleaning appliance can be fixed by sandwiching the short side portion between the holder portion of the adhesive cleaning appliance and the core material of the roll paper. Therefore, even when the adhesive cleaning appliance is used with the jig for the adhesive cleaning appliance attached, it is possible to prevent the jig for the adhesive cleaning appliance from shifting or falling off.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0019] Hereinafter, a jig for an adhesive cleaning appliance according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0020] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a jig 1 for an adhesive cleaning appliance according to a first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a side view showing the jig 1 for an adhesive cleaning appliance according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a state where the jig 1 for an adhesive cleaning appliance according to the first embodiment of the present invention is attached to an adhesive cleaning appliance T.

[0021] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the adhesive cleaning tool jig 1 according to this embodiment is a substantially U-shaped member formed from a flexible material such as resin, and comprises a connecting portion 2, a long side portion 3 erected vertically from one end of the connecting portion 2, and a short side portion 4 erected vertically from the other end of the connecting portion 2 in the same direction as the long side portion 3.

[0022] The connecting portion 2 is the part that connects the long side portion 3 and the short side portion 4. The length of the connecting portion 2 (length in the vertical direction on the paper in Figure 2) can be any length depending on the shape of the adhesive cleaning device T to which the adhesive cleaning device jig 1 is attached, and the thickness of the roll paper.

[0023] Because the connecting portion 2 is flexible, even if the roll paper R to which the adhesive cleaning device jig 1 is attached becomes thin, the connecting portion 2 can be pressed down from above and bent while the long side portion 3 is attached to the roll paper R, so that the long side portion 3 does not peel off along the entire length of the roll paper R.

[0024] The long side portion 3 is the part that is attached to the adhesive surface of the roll paper. Its purpose is to make it easier to peel off the outermost layer of roll paper when its adhesive strength decreases due to the accumulation of dirt during use, and to make it easier to cut off the peeled outermost layer of roll paper. To facilitate operation by the user, the length of the long side portion 3 (length in the left-right direction of the paper surface in Figure 2) is made longer than the width of the roll paper being used.

[0025] For example, in this embodiment, if the width of the roll paper R is 16 cm, the long side portion 3 is 1 cm longer, at 17 cm. When the length of the long side portion 3 is 1 cm longer than the width of the roll paper, that is, when the protruding end portion 31 of the long side portion 3 that protrudes from the end of the roll paper R is 1 cm long, the user can easily peel off the outermost layer of roll paper r2 by pinching and twisting this protruding end portion 31.

[0026] The length of the long side portion 3 can be appropriately changed according to the roll paper R, but it is preferable that the length of the protruding end portion 31 be between 0.5 mm and 1.5 mm. If the length of the protruding end portion 31 is less than 0.5 mm, it becomes difficult for the user to grasp the protruding end portion 31. Also, if the protruding end portion 31 is longer than 1.5 mm, it is more likely to bump into surrounding objects when using the adhesive cleaning tool T, thus hindering the use of the adhesive cleaning tool T.

[0027] Furthermore, the width of the long side portion 3 is formed to be between 0.4 mm and 6 mm. If the width of the long side portion 3 is narrower than 0.4 mm, it becomes difficult to roll up the roll paper R, and the cutting guide function when cutting becomes less effective. On the other hand, if it is 6 mm or more, the area covering the surface of the roll paper R becomes larger, reducing the adhesive effect of the roll paper R on debris.

[0028] As shown in Figure 3, the short side portion 4 is the part that is inserted into the gap between the holder portion t1 of the adhesive cleaning device T and the core material r1 of the roll paper R, and is the part used to fix the adhesive cleaning device jig 1 to the adhesive cleaning device T.

[0029] The short side portion 4 must be insertable into the gap between the holder portion t1 and the core material r1, and must have a thickness and length sufficient to prevent it from falling out after insertion. Specifically, the thickness of the short side portion 4 is formed to be between 0.3 mm and 0.5 mm. If the thickness of the short side portion 4 is less than 0.3 mm, it will easily fall out of the gap between the holder portion t1 and the core material r1 even after insertion. Also, if the thickness of the short side portion 4 exceeds 0.5 mm, it will be difficult to insert the short side portion 4 into the gap between the holder portion t1 and the core material r1.

[0030] Furthermore, the width of the short side portion 4 is formed to be 4 mm or more. If the width of the short side portion 4 is less than 4 mm, the holding effect when inserted into the gap between the holder portion t1 and the core material r1 will be reduced.

[0031] In this embodiment, the adhesive cleaning tool jig 1 is assumed to be made of a single material, with the connecting portion 2, the long side portion 3, and the short side portion 4 having the same thickness. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the thicknesses of each portion may differ. Even in this case, the thickness of the short side portion 4 is 0.3 mm or more and 0.5 mm or less, as described above.

[0032] Furthermore, although the short side portion 4 is rectangular in this embodiment, the tip of the short side portion 4 may be made pointed. The pointed tip of the short side portion 4 makes it easier to insert into the gap between the holder portion t1 and the core material r1.

[0033] When using the adhesive cleaning tool jig 1 having the above-described configuration, the short side portion 4 is first inserted into the gap between the cylindrical holder portion t1 of the adhesive cleaning tool T and the core material r1 of the roll paper R, as shown in Figure 3, thereby fixing it to the adhesive cleaning tool jig 1.

[0034] Next, the user traces the long side 3 of the adhesive cleaning tool jig 1 with their finger, causing the long side 3 to adhere to the adhesive surface of the outermost roll paper r2. This completes the attachment of the adhesive cleaning tool jig 1 to the adhesive cleaning tool T.

[0035] Furthermore, when using the adhesive cleaning device T, the user grasps the handle t2 and moves the device back and forth while pressing the adhesive surface of the roll paper R attached to the device T against the floor surface, clothing, etc., that is to be cleaned. This allows the roll paper R to rotate along the surface of the object being cleaned, attracting dirt and debris to the adhesive surface, thereby cleaning the object.

[0036] In this case, the long side portion 3 is formed to be sufficiently narrow, and most of the adhesive surface of the outermost roll paper r2 is exposed, so the dust adsorption effect of the roll paper R is not impaired.

[0037] Furthermore, since the short side portion 4 is inserted into the gap between the holder portion t1 and the core material r1, even when the user presses the roll paper R against the surface to be cleaned and rotates it back and forth, the adhesive cleaning tool jig 1 is effectively prevented from shifting or falling off the adhesive cleaning tool T. This is particularly effective when using inexpensive roll paper R with weak adhesive strength, and thus also helps to reduce the cost of purchasing roll paper R.

[0038] Furthermore, the adhesive cleaning tool jig 1 has a long side 3 that adheres firmly to the roll paper R, and a short side 4 that is securely held in place to prevent it from falling off, thus also having the effect of holding the outermost roll paper r2. As a result, when cleaning any type of flooring material (carpet, resin sheet, wood, woven fabric, etc.), the outermost roll paper r2 adheres to the flooring material and is prevented from peeling off, allowing the adhesive cleaning tool T to move smoothly.

[0039] When cutting off the outermost layer of roll paper r2, which has lost its adhesive strength due to dirt accumulating on its surface during use, the user first grasps the protruding end 31 of the long side 3, twists it, and lifts it up. This allows the outermost layer of roll paper r2 to be easily peeled off.

[0040] Next, the long side portion 3 is lifted once to detach it from the outermost roll paper r2, and then the unnecessary outermost roll paper r2 is pinched with fingers and pulled off. At this time, even if the adhesive cleaning tool jig 1 is pulled off from the detached roll paper, the short side portion 4 is fixed to the adhesive cleaning tool T, so it does not detach from the adhesive cleaning tool T.

[0041] Then, after exposing a new adhesive surface of the roll paper R, the long side 3 is brought into contact with the exposed adhesive surface of the new roll paper R, and the long side 3 is attached to the roll paper R by tracing it with a finger.

[0042] Then, while holding down the long edge 3, the peeled outermost layer of roll paper r2 is cut along the long edge 3. At this time, the outermost layer of roll paper r2 is cut in such a way that it forms an acute angle with respect to the long edge 3. This makes it easy to cut the outermost layer of roll paper r2 in a straight line.

[0043] Furthermore, when the outermost roll paper r2 is cut using the adhesive cleaning tool jig 1, the leading edge of the new outermost roll paper r2 is cut cleanly in a straight line, and this leading edge is completely hidden from under the adhesive cleaning tool jig 1 without protruding. This prevents the protruding (exposed) leading edge from sticking to the floor surface and peeling off the outermost roll paper r2 when cleaning with the adhesive cleaning tool T, thus preventing any obstruction to the work due to such peeling and making cleaning easier.

[0044] Furthermore, by using the adhesive cleaning tool jig 1, the outermost layer of roll paper r2 can be easily detached and replaced with a new adhesive surface. Therefore, there is no need to perform any special processing on the roll paper R side, such as forming cuts at the ends of the roll paper R or forming grooves along its entire length, in order to facilitate peeling and detachment. As a result, there is no need to use expensive roll paper R with such processing, and the cost of purchasing roll paper R can be kept low.

[0045] Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. Figure 4 is a perspective view showing a jig 10 for an adhesive cleaning device according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

[0046] The difference between the adhesive cleaning tool jig 10 shown in Figure 4 and the adhesive cleaning tool jig 1 according to the first embodiment is that it is equipped with a holding edge 5 that is formed continuously with the short edge 4 and extends in a direction perpendicular to the vertical direction of the short edge 4. The configuration other than this holding edge 5 is the same as that of the adhesive cleaning tool jig 1 according to the first embodiment.

[0047] The holding edge portion 5 is flexible, similar to the short edge portion 4, and has a thickness of 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm. By providing such a holding edge portion 5, the adhesive cleaning tool jig 10 according to the second embodiment is less likely to shift or fall off when using the adhesive cleaning tool T compared to the adhesive cleaning tool jig 1 according to the first embodiment.

[0048] Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. Figure 5 is a perspective view showing a jig 100 for an adhesive cleaning device according to the third embodiment of the present invention.

[0049] The difference between the adhesive cleaning tool jig 100 shown in Figure 5 and the adhesive cleaning tool jig 10 according to the second embodiment is that a pair of holding edges 5a and 5b are formed via the short edge 4. By providing such a pair of holding edges 5a and 5b, the adhesive cleaning tool jig 100 according to the third embodiment is less likely to shift or fall off when using the adhesive cleaning tool T compared to the adhesive cleaning tool jig 10 according to the second embodiment.

[0050] According to the adhesive cleaning device jigs 1, 10, and 100 of the first to third embodiments described above, even when using the adhesive cleaning device T with the adhesive cleaning device jigs 1, 10, and 100 attached, it is possible to prevent the adhesive cleaning device jigs 1, 10, and 100 from shifting or falling off.

[0051] It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications can be adopted within the technical scope of the present invention.

[0052] For example, in the first embodiment described above, the adhesive cleaning tool jig 1 was fixed to the adhesive cleaning tool T by inserting its short side portion 4 into the gap between the holder portion t1 of the adhesive cleaning tool T and the core material r1 of the roll paper R. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the jig may also be fixed by inserting the short side portion 4 into the gap formed between the core material r1 of the roll paper R and the roll paper R. The gap between the core material r1 and the roll paper R can be easily formed by the worker crushing the end of the roll paper R and then restoring it to its original shape. Alternatively, the adhesive cleaning tool jig 1 may be fixed by inserting the short side portion 4 between the paper surfaces of the wound roll paper R. [Explanation of symbols]
