BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a decorative stuffed toy that can be used to wipe off dust and dirt from OA equipment and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, sheet materials such as cloths and towels have been generally used for cleaning personal computers and televisions. Although there are various kinds of materials for this type of sheet material, a cloth such as a wiping cloth having a tight opening that does not easily damage the glass surface is often used.

However, the conventional cleaning sheet material is:
Since it was a mere sheet of practical use, it was difficult to grasp, was monotonous, and had a problem in the place where it was not used.

[0004]

Accordingly, the present invention provides an OA
An object of the present invention is to provide a cleaning tool that is suitable for cleaning equipment and the like, is easy to use, and has decorative properties.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the present invention has the following configuration. That is, the cleaning stuffed animal according to the present invention is characterized in that at least a part of the surface of the stuffed animal is formed of a cloth suitable for cleaning articles such as glass, and a surface fastener is attached to a part of the surface. And

[0006] Since a cloth suitable for cleaning glass or the like is provided on the surface of the stuffed animal, the screen of a personal computer can be cleaned with a cloth portion suitable for the cleaning while holding the stuffed animal by hand. . Also, in this stuffed animal,
Since the surface fastener is provided on a part of the surface (a cloth which may be engaged with the other surface fastener), a fixing surface fastener which is engaged with the surface fastener may be fixed to the surface fastener to be cleaned.
By attaching to the A device itself or its vicinity,
When not in use, the stuffed toy can be engaged with the fixing hook-and-loop fastener and held.

It is convenient to provide the user with the combination of the above-mentioned stuffed animal and a hook-and-loop fastener piece for fixing to the hook-and-loop fastener of the stuffed animal. In this case, it is preferable to form an adhesive layer that can be attached and fixed to the outer surface of an OA device or the like on the back surface of the fixing surface fastener. Further, it is preferable that a peelable sheet (release paper) for preventing sticking is put on the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer so that the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of the fixing surface fastener before use does not adhere to other articles.

[0008]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with specific examples. This stuffed animal 1
Is a stuffed animal formed of a cloth, such as a doll or an animal, and is formed as a snow doll in the example of FIG. 1 and a rabbit in the example of FIG. Examples of the shape of the stuffed animal include various shapes such as animals such as people, dogs, bears, rabbits, and elephants, plants such as mascots, fruits, and flowers, vehicles, furniture, buildings, and daily necessities. The point is that the object should be large enough to be grasped by hand, and in some cases, it may be an imaginary animal or an abstract object.

The surface of the main body of the stuffed toy 1 is formed of a sheet material such as cloth, nonwoven fabric, leather, synthetic resin, etc., and at least a part of the surface is formed of a cleaning cloth 2 suitable for cleaning articles. ing. As such a cloth, a cloth made of ultrafine fibers, for example, a wiping cloth used for cleaning eyeglass lenses or the like is suitable. A surface fastener (also referred to as a cloth chuck) 3 such as Velcro (registered trademark) is attached to a part of the surface, which becomes a bottom surface when placed on a plate surface or the like. I have. If the entire surface portion other than the hook-and-loop fastener is formed of a cloth suitable for cleaning a wiping cloth or the like, it is convenient because cleaning can be performed at any part of the stuffed toy.

[0010] The inside of the stuffed animal 1 is filled with a padding 4. As the filling 4, it is preferable to use a washable and easy-to-dry one, and for example, beads, wire rods, cotton and the like can be used. If beads are used as the padding, the stuffed animal 1 can be freely bent, which is convenient for use. Further, as the filling 4, a PET resin or the like obtained by collecting a PET bottle or the like can be used. Use of such a recovered material is preferable in terms of resource recycling. In the case where a relatively rigid sheet material is used, it is possible to leave a space without filling.

As a thread for sewing the stuffed animal 1,
In addition to a normal thread, a thread 5 having an antistatic function can be used. If it is manufactured by using a cloth or a thread having an antistatic function, there is an advantage that static electricity is hardly generated when a plastic or the like is wiped.

[0012] If the stuffed toy 1 is made of cloth, stuffing or the like containing a fragrance or the like, the fragrance can be enjoyed at the time of use. Furthermore, by manufacturing with a material having antibacterial properties, it can be made sanitary preferable.

The stuffed animal 1 is, for example, a personal computer 10
It can be held by using a fixing surface fastener 12 attached to the outer surface of the device. The fixing surface fastener 12 is engaged with the surface fastener 3 provided on the stuffed toy 1. For example, if one of the surface fasteners is a male fastener such as a hook, the other surface fastener is engaged therewith. It is a female fastener such as a loop that fits.
Of the hook-and-loop fasteners used in the A and B sets, for example, the A-side may be attached to the stuffed body, and the B-side hook-and-loop fastener may be attached as a fixing hook-and-loop to the outer surface of an object such as OA equipment with an adhesive or the like. .

As the fixing surface fastener 12 which is not on the side of the stuffed animal 1, it is preferable to use an adhesive layer 13 formed on the back surface. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 13 can be easily formed by attaching a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape such as a double-sided tape to the back side of the hook-and-loop fastener. It is preferable to attach a peelable anti-adhesive sheet (for example, what is called release paper) 14 to the surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 13 to prevent adhesion to other articles when not in use. If the fixing surface fastener 12 is provided to the user in a set with the stuffed body, the user can easily remove the anti-adhesive sheet 14 and easily move the fixing surface fastener 12 to a desired position. This is convenient because it can be attached to

As shown in FIG. 5, the cleaning cloth 2 of the stuffed toy 1 can be replaced by using a detachable means such as a hook-and-loop fastener. In the illustrated example, the stuffed animal 1
The surface fastener 15 for attaching the cleaning cloth is fixed to the surface of the cleaning cloth, and the cleaning cloth (wiping cloth) having the cloth or the surface fastener attached to the surface fastener on the back surface.
2 is attached and detached. By doing so, when the cleaning cloth 2 becomes dirty, only the cleaning cloth can be easily replaced and used, which is convenient.

When the stuffed animal 1 is not used, it may be placed on a hook-and-loop fastener 12 attached to an OA device or the like. By doing so, the stuffed animal 1 is stored in a fixed position, so that the stuffed animal 1 does not have to be searched when used. In addition, it is possible to prevent the stuffed animal from falling or being lost.

When wiping the display or other glass surface of the OA equipment, the stuffed animal 1 may be grasped by hand and wiped with the cleaning cloth 2 on the surface. Since the stuffed animal 1 is three-dimensional, it is easy to hold by hand and easy to clean.

[0018]

As is apparent from the above description, the cleaning stuffed toy according to the present invention can be easily grasped by hand and wiped the surface of the object, and can be formed into a shape having a decorative property or a shape having attachment. Since it can be formed, it attracts the user's interest and does not get tired even after long-term use.
Further, since the surface of the stuffed animal is formed of a soft sheet such as a cloth, the stuffed animal does not have a risk of damaging a hand or the like, and is excellent in usability.
