Description

  The present invention relates to a sheet-like wiping material made of a fiber material such as a nonwoven fabric or other material, having a strip-like tuft-like portion at a side edge, a cleaning method, and a cleaning tool.

A wiping portion of a sheet-like wiping material such as a non-woven fabric almost covers the bottom surface of the cleaning head, and both side edges located on both sides of the wiping portion are held by holding portions provided on the upper surface of the cleaning head. Thus, a sheet that has a sheet-like wiping material attached to a cleaning head and performs wiping cleaning is widely used because it can easily clean the floor. However, it is difficult to wipe off a large amount of dust, hair, and the like with a conventionally used non-woven fabric wiping material.
Patent Document 1 discloses a cleaning cloth made of a fiber material such as a nonwoven fabric in which strip-shaped scalpel portions are formed by a large number of cuts at the peripheral edge of a planar wiping portion.

The cleaning cloth can be used for wiping using a wiping portion in addition to use as a paddle using a strip-shaped or pile-shaped padding portion, and can be used widely corresponding to a cleaning location. It can also be effective in holding dust and hair entangled with the strip-shaped part.

However, in order to attach the cleaning cloth described in Patent Document 1 to the head of the cleaning tool, a bag portion is provided as a space for inserting the head, or the head is wrapped as shown in FIG. 2 or FIG. It was necessary to provide a configuration that could
Therefore, in the state where the most common cleaning head to which the sheet-like wiping material is attached and used for wiping and cleaning, that is, the wiping portion of the sheet-like wiping material almost covers the bottom surface portion of the cleaning head, on both sides of the wiping portion. It was not possible to use it for a cleaning head in which both side edge portions positioned are held by a holding portion provided on the upper surface of the cleaning head and a sheet-like wiping material is attached.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems existing in the prior art, and the object of the present invention is in a state where the wiping portion of the sheet-like wiping material substantially covers the bottom surface portion of the cleaning head. A sheet-like wiping material, a cleaning method, and a cleaning tool capable of efficiently realizing holding by a holding portion provided above the bottom surface portion of the cleaning head and entanglement and holding of dust, hair, and the like by a strip-like portion Is to provide.

The sheet-like wiping material of the present invention that achieves the above-mentioned object,
In a state where the wiping portion located between the side edges substantially covers the bottom surface of the cleaning head, a part of the side edge is placed on the holding portion provided above the bottom surface of the cleaning head. A sheet-like wiping material that can be used in a held state,
The side edges located on both sides of the wiping part are two or more sheet-like parts separated from each other except for the wiping part side, and overlap each other in the thickness direction. A tongue piece part to be held by the part and a fringe-like part formed by juxtaposing a plurality of strip-like parts having a narrower width than the tongue piece part are formed in parallel ,
The overlapped sheet-like wiping material at the both side edge portions is characterized in that a tongue piece portion and a fringe-like portion are formed in the same shape .

  Further, the cleaning method of the present invention is a tongue piece formed on both side edges of the sheet-like wiping material of the present invention, with the wiping portion substantially covering the bottom surface of the cleaning head. The cleaning target surface is attached to the cleaning head by being held by a holding portion provided above the bottom surface portion of the cleaning head, and the surface to be cleaned is wiped by a wiping portion that covers the bottom surface portion of the cleaning head. To do.

  The cleaning tool of the present invention is a tongue piece formed on both side edges located on both sides of the wiping portion in a state where the wiping portion substantially covers the bottom surface portion of the cleaning head. The part is attached to the cleaning head by being held by a holding part provided above the bottom surface part of the cleaning head.

  Tongue pieces to be held by the holding part of the cleaning head, on both side edges located on both sides of the wiping part in a sheet-like wiping material made of non-woven fabric or paper or other material, A fringe-like part formed by juxtaposing a plurality of strip-like parts with a width narrower than the tongue piece part is formed in parallel, and the base part of both the tongue piece part and the strip-like part is connected to the wiping part side It will be a thing. Since the adjacent strip-shaped portions constituting the fringe-shaped portion are separated from each other, each exhibits the effect of entwining and holding dust, hair, and the like. In the state where the wiping part of the sheet-like wiping material substantially covers the bottom surface part of the cleaning head, the tongue pieces can be effectively used for holding by the holding part of the cleaning head among both side edges of the sheet-like wiping material, Of the side edge portions of the sheet-like wiping material, the portion other than the tongue piece portion can be effectively used as a fringe-like portion having a high effect of entwining and holding dust, hair, etc., so the tongue piece portion was used. The holding by the cleaning head and the high cleaning effect by the fringe-shaped part are efficiently balanced.

  The width of the strip-shaped portion may be a width that cannot be sufficiently held by the holding portion of the cleaning head.

  In this case, the sheet-like wiping material is a state in which the wiping portion substantially covers the bottom surface portion of the cleaning head, and the tongue pieces formed on both side edges located on both sides of the wiping portion are held by the cleaning head. The surface to be cleaned can be wiped by a wiping portion that is attached to the cleaning head and that covers the bottom surface portion of the cleaning head.

  On the other hand, the width of the strip-shaped portion is a width that cannot be sufficiently held by the holding portion of the cleaning head. That is, the strip-shaped portion formed on both side edges located on both sides of the wiping portion is held by the holding portion of the cleaning head with the wiping portion of the sheet-like wiping material substantially covering the bottom surface portion of the cleaning head. If the surface to be cleaned is wiped with the wiping part that covers the bottom part of the cleaning head, the holding of the strip-like part by the holding part is insufficient, so that the sheet-like wiping part is sufficiently secured in the cleaning head. Therefore, the cleaning work cannot be performed at least sufficiently.

  It is preferable that the width of the tongue piece portion is wider than at least the strip-shaped portion from the base portion to the portion held by the holding portion, and can be reliably held by the holding portion of the cleaning head.

  Moreover, it is preferable that the width | variety of a tongue piece part shall be reliably hold | maintained at the holding | maintenance part of a cleaning head as what is 2 times or more (more preferably 3 times or more) of the width | variety of a strip-shaped part.

  Furthermore, it is preferable that the width of the tongue piece portion is 4 cm or more so that the tongue piece portion can be reliably held by the holding portion of the cleaning head. The width of the tongue piece may be 2 to 10 cm, for example. Preferably, it can be 4 to 8 cm.

  Moreover, it is preferable that a tongue piece part is formed in the position which opposes on both sides of the wiping part in an edge part. In this case, since the tongue piece portion is formed at a position opposite to the wiping portion on both side edge portions, the cleaning head holding portion is held in a well-balanced manner.

  Moreover, the sheet-like wiping material of the present invention is such that two or more sheet-like parts separated from each other except for the wiping part are overlapped in the thickness direction on both sides of the wiping part. In addition, it is preferable that the tongue piece portion and the fringe-like portion are formed in the same shape on the overlapping sheet-like wiping material at both side edge portions.

  In this case, since the tongue piece part and the fringe-like part are formed in the same shape on the overlapping sheet-like wiping material at both side edge parts, the number of strip-like parts in the fringe-like part is located on both sides of the wiping part. Depending on the number of overlaps of the sheet-like portions at both side edges, it becomes twice or more, and the effect of entwining and holding dust, hair, etc. increases. In addition, when the tongue pieces are held by the holding portion in an overlapping state, the holding effect is also positively affected. However, it is not always necessary to hold the tongue pieces in an overlapped state. It is good also as what hold | maintains one piece without overlapping a tongue piece part.

  In the sheet-like wiping material, the cleaning method, and the cleaning tool of the present invention, in the state where the wiping portion of the sheet-like wiping material substantially covers the bottom surface portion of the cleaning head, the tongue piece portion of both side edges of the sheet-like wiping material Can be effectively used for holding by the cleaning head holding part, and the fringe shape has a high effect of entwining and holding dust, hair, etc., on both side edges of the sheet-like wiping material. Since it can be used effectively as a part, the holding by the cleaning head using the tongue piece part and the high cleaning effect by the fringe-like part are efficiently compatible.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
1 is a plan view of a sheet-like wiping material, and FIG. 2 is a plan view of a cleaning head with a sheet-like wiping material attached thereto. is there.

  The sheet-like wiping material 10 is made of a nonwoven fabric made of synthetic fibers and has a square shape as a whole. As the nonwoven fabric, for example, a spunbond nonwoven fabric can be used, but it is not particularly limited. It is also possible to employ a sheet-like wiping material made of a fiber material that is classified as paper. In addition, other fiber material and non-fiber material sheet-like wiping materials are not excluded. Moreover, the shape of a sheet-like wiping material is not necessarily restricted to a square shape.

  The cleaning tool A is obtained by attaching a sheet-like wiping material 10 to a flat rectangular cleaning head B for attaching a nonwoven fabric to which a handle C is connected at a universal joint-like connecting portion. The bottom surface of the cleaning head B is a rectangular flat surface (not necessarily a completely flat surface), and the bottom surface and the entire periphery thereof are formed of elastic synthetic rubber. .

  A holding portion B1 for holding the sheet-like wiping material 10 is provided in each of the four corners of the upper surface of the cleaning head B at slightly inward positions (target positions in the short side direction and the long side direction). Each holding part B1 is composed of six elastic tongues b (for example, made of synthetic resin elastomer). Each elastic tongue b is supported substantially horizontally in a cantilevered manner at the base, and each end located at the center of the holding portion B1 has a pointed shape in plan view. When a part of the sheet-like wiping material 10 is pushed in from above the holding part B1, the part is detachably held between the tips of the elastic tongue b. Of course, other means that can detachably hold the sheet-like wiping material 10 can be used as the holding portion.

  In the sheet-like wiping material 10, a rectangular wiping portion 12 is located in the center in the short direction in FIG. 1, and side edge portions 14 are located on both sides in the short direction of the wiping portion 12. Both side edges 14 are united. In this sheet-like wiping material 10, two nonwoven fabrics are overlapped in the thickness direction, and both are joined by heat sealing at a boundary line L between the wiping portion 12 and both side edge portions 14. Accordingly, the side edge portions 14 overlap in the thickness direction in a state where they are separated from each other except for the boundary line L with the wiping portion 12. However, it is not always necessary to superimpose in this way, and it may be composed of one sheet material. Three or more sheets may be overlapped. In addition, in order to superpose | polymerize and join a several sheet material, it is also possible to use other means, such as adhesion | attachment by an adhesive material.

  A substantially rectangular tongue piece 18 is formed by a notch 16 perpendicular to the side edge line (longitudinal side of the sheet-like wiping material 10) at both positions slightly inward from both ends in the longitudinal direction of both side edges 14. It is formed one by one. The tongue piece portion 18 is for being held by a holding portion B1 provided on the upper surface portion of the cleaning head B of the cleaning tool A. In this example, a total of four tongue pieces 18 are formed at opposite positions across the wiping portion 12 in the side edge portions 14, and the cleaning head B is held by the holding portion B1 in a well-balanced manner. The number of the tongue pieces 18 is preferably four in view of the mounting work and the holding balance, but may be more than four (for example, six), can be reduced, and does not necessarily need to be an even number. Absent.

  Further, in the portions other than the tongue piece portions 18 in the side edge portions 14, a plurality of strip-like portions 20 having a width narrower than the tongue piece portion 18 are formed in parallel by the notches 16 perpendicular to the side edge lines. The strip-shaped portion 20 constitutes a fringe-shaped portion F. Accordingly, the tongue pieces 18 and the fringe portions F are formed in parallel on the side edges 14 (in a state where the directions from the respective bases [wiping unit 12 side] to the end [side edge side] are arranged in parallel). ing. Since the adjacent strip-shaped portions 20 constituting the fringe-shaped portion F are separated from each other by the notch 16, each exhibits the effect of entwining and holding dust, hair, and the like. The notches 16 for forming the strip-shaped portions 20 have a triangular wave shape as in this example in order to enhance the effect of entwining and holding dust and hair on both sides of each strip-shaped portion 20, It is preferable to have a wave shape. The width of the strip-shaped portion 20 is a width that cannot be sufficiently held by the holding portion B1 of the cleaning head B. Note that the cut 16 does not need to be perpendicular to the side edge line, and may be inclined or curved. The cuts 16 may or may not be parallel to each other.

  In a state where the wiping portion 12 of the sheet-like wiping material 10 substantially covers the bottom surface portion of the cleaning head B, the tongue piece portion 18 of the both side edge portions 14 of the sheet-like wiping material 10 is used as the holding portion B1 of the cleaning head B. By pushing and holding, the sheet-like wiping material 10 can be attached to the cleaning head B, and the portions other than the tongue piece portion 18 of the side edge portions 14 of the sheet-like wiping material 10 are expanded to the side or the like. In the opened state, it can be effectively used as the fringe-shaped portion F that has a high effect of entwining and holding dust and hair. In this example, not only the side edge portions 14 on both sides in the short direction of the wiping portion 12 but also the end edge portions 22 at both ends in the longitudinal direction, which are other peripheral portions, are formed by notches 24 perpendicular to the both end edge lines. A plurality of strip-like portions 26 having a width narrower than that of the tongue piece 18 are formed in parallel to exert the effect of entwining and holding dust, hair, and the like.

  The width of the tongue piece portion 18 in this example (the width in the direction orthogonal to the notch 16) is 6 cm in width, and the width is constant in the notch 16 direction. Therefore, the tongue piece 18 is securely held by the holding portion B1 of the cleaning head B, and can sufficiently withstand the tension acting on the tongue piece 18.

  The width of the strip-shaped part 20 is a quarter of the width of the tongue piece part 18. Since as many strip-shaped parts 20 as possible are sufficiently small in width to form the fringe-shaped part F, the effect of entwining and holding dust, hair, etc. is high.

  In this example, the fringe-shaped portion F composed of the tongue piece portion 18 and the strip-shaped portion 20 is formed in the same shape on the sheet-like wiping material 10 of the two side edge portions 14 that are overlapped (not necessarily limited to this). . Therefore, the number of the strip-like parts 20 in the fringe-like part F is doubled, and the effect of entwining and holding dust, hair, etc. is increased. In addition, holding the tongue piece 18 in the overlapped state by the holding portion B1 has a positive effect on the holding effect. However, it is also possible to hold the tongue piece 18 in one piece without overlapping, and in this case, the other tongue piece 18 may be used in a state where it is expanded sideways together with the fringe-like part F. it can.

It is a top view of a sheet-like wiping material. It is a top view of the head for cleaning in the state where the sheet-like wiping material was attached.
