Then, the indoor and in-car structures are cleaned by the mop portion 5 of each of the mop main body portions 2a, 2a, and by inserting this structure into the cleaning gap 7, the fine structure can be surely cleaned. Can do.

  As shown in FIGS. 1, 2A, 2B, 3, 4, 5, and 6A, 6B, the mounting portion 10 is a mounting gap between the mop body portions 2a, 2a. 3 and 3 and a pair of attachment pieces 11 and 11 inserted into the pair 3 and 3, and an insert 15 connected to the pair of attachment pieces 11 and 11. Of these, the pair of attachment pieces 11 and 11 are located on the distal end side. The insert 15 is positioned on the proximal end side. The attachment portion 10 is formed of a soft elastomer as a whole so as to hold the mop body 2 and to deform the mop body 2 according to the shape of the structure. In particular, the pair of attachment pieces 11, 11 of the attachment portion 10 have flexibility so that the mop body 2 can be deformed according to the shape of the structure. As the soft elastomer constituting the mounting portion 10, an olefin-based thermoplastic elastomer is used, and specifically, Zelas (registered trademark) manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation can be used as the olefin-based thermoplastic elastomer. .

  Each pair of attachment pieces 11 and 11 is provided with semi-disc-like engagement protrusions 12 and 12 that protrude outward and are engaged with attachment gaps 3 and 3 of the mop body portions 2a and 2a. ing.

  Further, as will be described later, the insert 15 provided on the proximal end side of the mounting portion 10 is inserted into the insertion space 22a of the gripping portion 20, and the mounting portion 10 and the gripping portion 20 are firmly connected. In addition, when the insert 15 is inserted into the insertion space 22a of the gripper 20 on one surface of the insert 15 of the mounting part 10, the insert 15 slides with the side edge 25a of the cover 25 of the gripper 20. 15 is provided, and the surface of the guide piece 16 substantially coincides with the surfaces of the pair of attachment pieces 11 and 11.

  Further, as described above, the insertion space 22a into which the insertion body 15 of the mounting portion 10 is inserted is formed on the distal end side of the grip portion 20, and this insertion space 22a includes a holding side surface 22 that holds the insertion body 15, It is formed by a pair of covers 25 provided curvedly on both side edges of the holding side surface 22 (FIGS. 6A and 6B).

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the holding side surface 22 of the grip portion 20 is provided with a side surface opening 23, and the insertion body 15 of the mounting portion 10 is provided with a side projection 19 that engages with the side surface opening 23 of the grip portion 20. Yes. In this case, the side opening 23 provided on the holding side surface 22 of the gripping part 20 extends along the width direction L ₂ of the gripping part 20, and between the side opening 23 of the holding side surface 22 and the tip 22 b of the holding side surface 22. A spring region 24 is formed in the upper part.

The grip portion 20 is a portion that the operator grips when using the handy mop 1, and is made of a relatively hard material (made of PP) as compared to the mounting portion 10. Then, by forming the spring region 24 between the side opening 23 and the tip 22b in the holding side surface 22, when the insertion body 15 of the mounting portion 10 is inserted into the insertion space 22a of the grip portion 20, the insertion body 15 The side protrusions 19 are in contact with the inner surface of the spring region 24 so that the spring region 24 can be curved along the width direction L ₂ of the grip portion 20.

In this case, the spring region 24 of the holding side surface 22 has a length l ₁ in the longitudinal direction L ₁ from the side surface opening 23 to the tip 22 b, and the length in the width direction L ₂ that is the same as the width length of the side surface opening 23. I have ₂ . And the length l ₁ of the longitudinal L ₁ of the spring region 24 is shorter than the length l ₂ of the width direction L _2, so that the can be reliably bent spring region 24 along the width direction L _2.

Furthermore the width _{L 3} of the insert 15 of the mounting portion 10 is smaller than the width _{L 4} of the insertion space 22a of the grip portion 20 (FIGS. 3 and 6 (a) (b)) . When the insertion body 15 of the mounting portion 10 is inserted into the insertion space 22 a of the gripping portion 20, the side projection 19 of the insertion body 15 comes into contact with the inner surface of the spring region 24. At this time, since the width L ₃ of the insert 15 is smaller than the width L ₄ of the insertion space 22a, when the spring region 24 is curved along the width direction L _2, curvature effects of the spring region 24 insert 15 is not regulated.

Thus, the insert 15 of the mounting portion 10 when inserted into the insertion space 22a of the grip portion 20, the side projections 19 of the insert 15 is spring region 24 inner surface in contact with the spring region 24 in the width direction L ₂ Therefore, the protrusion height of the side projection 19 of the insert 15 can be made as high as possible (for example, higher than 0.1 to 1.0 mm compared to the conventional product). Thus, the side projection 19 of the insert 15 can be firmly engaged in the side opening 23 of the grip 20.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, a pair of contact protrusions 17 and 17 that contact the inner surface of the insertion space 22a of the grip portion 20 are provided on the side of the distal end side of the insertion body 15 of the mounting portion 10. ing. That is, as described above, the width L ₃ of the insertion body 15 of the mounting portion 10 is narrower than the width L ₄ of the insertion space 22 a of the gripping portion 20, and the insertion body 15 of the mounting portion 10 is inserted into the insertion space of the gripping portion 20. When inserted into 22a, a gap is created between the insert 15 and the insertion space 22a. However, in a state where the insertion body 15 is completely inserted into the insertion space 22a, the pair of contact protrusions 17 and 17 of the insertion body 15 of the mounting portion 10 are in contact with the inner surface of the insertion space 22a of the grip portion 20, so The body 15 can be firmly inserted into the insertion space 22a, and the attachment portion 10 and the grip portion 20 can be firmly connected.

In addition, a base end projection 18 is provided on the base end side of the insert 15 of the mounting portion 10, and the base end projection 18 is inserted into the insertion space 22 a of the grip portion 20, and in particular, a positioning opening 26 that performs positioning in the width direction L _2. Is provided.

  Next, the operation of the present embodiment having such a configuration will be described.

First, the attachment part 10 and the grip part 20 are connected. In this case, the insert 15 of the mounting portion 10 is inserted into the insertion space 22 a of the grip portion 20. At this time, since the side projection 19 of the insert 15 protrudes as high as possible from the insert 15, the side projection 19 abuts on the inner surface of the spring region 24 in the holding side 22 of the grip portion 20. Since spring region 24 is the length l ₂ of the width direction L ₂ than the length l ₁ of the longitudinal L ₁ is increased, when the side projections 19 is in contact with the inner surface of the spring region 24, spring region 24 can be bent smoothly along the width direction L _2. Further, since the width L ₃ of the insertion body 15 is shorter than the width L ₄ of the insertion space 22 a, the insertion body 15 does not hinder the bending action of the spring region 24.

Next, the connecting action of the mounting portion 10 and the grip portion 20 will be further described. In other words, the holding side surface 22 of the grip portion 20 is provided with a relatively large side surface opening 23 extending along the width direction L ₂ of the grip portion 20, and the side surface opening 23 causes the side surface opening 23 and the holding side surface 22 to be separated from each other. A spring region 24 is formed between the tip 22b. In this case, since the side opening 23 extends largely along the width direction L _2, the length l ₂ of the width direction L ₂ becomes larger than that in the longitudinal direction L ₁ of the length l ₁ of the spring region 24, the spring region 24 It is easily deformed toward the width direction L _2.

The width _{L 3} of the insert 15 as described above is shorter than the width _{L 4} of the insertion space 22a. For this reason, when the insertion body 15 of the mounting portion 10 is inserted into the insertion space 22 a of the gripping portion 20, first, the side projection 19 (projecting higher than the conventional product) of the insertion body 15 is the spring region 24 of the holding side surface 22. And the spring region 24 is pressed. At this time, the spring region 24 is curved along the width direction L _2, the width L ₄ of the insertion space 22a is contracted, since the width L ₃ of the insert 15 is shorter than L ₄ of the insertion space, spring Even if the region 24 is curved, the bending action of the spring region 24 is not restricted by the insert 15. The width L ₃ of the way the insert 15 is shorter than the width L ₄ of the insertion space 22a, and since the bending action of the spring region 24 is not restricted by the insert 15, smoothly insert 15 into the insertion space 22a Can be inserted into.

As described above, when the insert 15 of the mounting portion 10 is inserted into the insertion space 22a of the gripping portion 20, and the insert 15 is completely inserted into the insertion space 22a, the pair of contact protrusions 17 of the insert 15 17 contacts the inner surface of the insertion space 22a. For this reason, the insertion body 15 can be reliably inserted in the insertion space 22a, and the attachment part 10 and the holding part 20 can be connected firmly. It is inserted at the same time insert 15 proximal projection 18 in the positioning openings 26 of the insertion space 22a of the positioning of the width direction L ₂ of the insert 15 is performed.

When the insert 15 is thus completely inserted into the insertion space 22a, the side projection 19 of the insert 15 engages with the side opening 23 of the grip portion 20. In this case, since the side protrusion 19 of the insert 15 protrudes higher than the conventional product, the side protrusion 19 of the insert 15 is unlikely to come off from the side opening 23 of the grip portion 20. Also as described above, since the pair of abutment projections 17, 17 of the insert 15 abuts the insertion space 22a inside surface, no rattle is insert 15 along the width direction L ₂ in the insertion space 22a. Further, since the base end projection 18 of the insert 15 is inserted into the positioning openings 26 of the insertion space 22a, to be positioned in the correct position the insert 15 with respect to the width direction L ₂ in the insertion space 22a as described above Can do.

  Next, each mounting piece 11, 11 of the mounting portion 10 is inserted into a mounting gap 3 provided in the corresponding mop body portion 2 a, 2 a of the mop body 2, and the mop body 2 is connected to the mounting portion 10. . In this way, the handy mop 1 is obtained.

  When the handy mop 1 is used, the gripping part main body 21 of the gripping part 20 is gripped, and these structures are cleaned while applying the mop body 2 to the indoor and in-car structures.

  Since each mop body portion 2a, 2a of the mop body 2 is provided with the mop portion 5 on the front surface and the back surface thereof, the cleaning work can be easily and reliably performed on the structure.

  If the structure is elongated or thin, the structure can be reliably cleaned by inserting the structure into the cleaning gap 7 of the mop body 2.

  By the way, as described above, the side projection 19 of the mounting portion 10 can be made to largely protrude from the insertion body 15, for example, higher than 0.1 to 1.0 mm as compared with the conventional product. For this reason, even if a large force is applied to the mounting portion 10 from the grip portion 20 during the cleaning operation using the handy mop, the side protrusion 19 of the insert 15 does not come out of the side opening 23 of the holding side surface 22, The insertion body 15 of the mounting portion 10 can be securely inserted into the insertion space 22a of the gripping portion 20, and the hard gripping portion 20 is not detached from the soft mounting portion 10.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the insert 15 is inserted into the insertion space 22a in order to connect the grip portion 20 to the mount portion 10, the side protrusion 19 of the mount portion 10 is the grip portion. 20 contacts the inner surface of the spring region 24. In this case, the spring region 24 is curved along the width direction L _2, can be inserted into insert 15 smoothly insertion space 22a and engaging the side projections 19 in the side opening 23 at the same time, The insert 15 can be firmly held in the insertion space 22a. For this reason, when performing the cleaning operation using the handy mop 1, even if the gripping portion 20 is gripped and a large force is applied from the gripping portion 20 to the mounting portion 10, the hard gripping portion 20 becomes the soft mounting portion 10. You will never get out of it.

  In the above-described embodiment, an example in which the mop main body 2 has a pair of mop main body portions 2a and 2a is shown, but the mop main body 2 may have only a single mop main body portion 2a. .

  Moreover, although the example which provided a pair of contact protrusions 17 and 17 on both sides of the insertion body 15 was shown, not only this but the contact protrusion 17 which contact | abuts the insertion space 22a inner surface is provided only in one side of the insertion body 15. Also good.
