DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hand mop, and more particularly to a hand mop for cleaning by pressing a wiping cloth against a portion to be cleaned with a glove-like member.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A mop with a handle for cleaning by attaching a sheet-like wiping cloth to a base at the tip of a handle bar has been known. This type of mop with a handle has a relatively long handle, and the base is made of synthetic resin and is relatively hard, so it can be easily reached, such as floors, tatami mats, walls, and ceilings. It is suitable for cleaning flat places that are difficult to clean, but it is not necessarily suitable for cleaning relatively accessible or uneven parts such as desks, tables, furniture, and ornaments.

On the other hand, a hand mop as shown in FIG. 6 is known as a cleaning tool suitable for cleaning the above-mentioned hand or uneven part. This hand mop is
Base 1 with pocket 11 on the back for hand insertion
A large number of mop threads 12 are integrally attached to the lower surface of the pocket 0, and the part to be cleaned is cleaned by the mop threads 12 with the hand in the pocket 11. However, in the conventional hand mop, since the mop thread 12 is fixed to the base 10 and must be washed when it becomes dirty,
It is inconvenient to handle, and it is unsanitary to wipe the table with the same hand mop that wipes furniture etc.
There was an inconvenience that different hand mop had to be facilitated for each object to be cleaned.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The main technical problem of the present invention is to provide a hand mop suitable for cleaning relatively handy or uneven parts such as desks, tables, furniture and decorative articles. It is in. Another subsidiary technical problem of the present invention is that, by using a sheet-shaped wiping cloth in a disposable manner, various parts can be cleaned without the necessity of cleaning and by simply changing the wiping cloth. Another object of the present invention is to provide an efficient and hygienic hand mop that is easy to handle. Still another subordinate technical problem of the present invention is to obtain a hand mop that excels in workability and can securely hold a wiping cloth and press it against a site to be cleaned.

[0005]

In order to solve the above problems, a hand mop according to the present invention comprises a sheet-like wiping cloth for wiping dust and a mop base for pressing the wiping cloth against a portion to be cleaned. The mop base is formed into a glove-like shape into which a hand can be inserted by a flexible material,
At least one surface thereof has a pressing surface with a locking property such that the wipe does not slip during cleaning, and the wipe is
It has a glove-like outer shape larger than the mop base.

[0006] The hand mop having the above structure inserts a hand into the glove-shaped mop base, and presses a wiping cloth against a portion to be cleaned with a pressing surface of the mop base to clean the mop base. At this time, while the mop base has a moderate flexibility,
Since the pressing surface locks against the wipe,
Regardless of whether the site to be cleaned is flat or not flat, the wiping cloth can be reliably and stably pressed against the site to be cleaned for cleaning, and the usability during cleaning is good. Further, since the wipe has a glove-like outer shape larger than the mop base, a portion of the peripheral edge protruding from the mop base during sliding, particularly a portion located forward in the sliding direction, stands up. The entanglement with the side surface of the mop base and the synergistic effect of the pressing surface of the mop base having the locking property surely prevent the wiping cloth from being displaced during cleaning.

Therefore, it is not necessary to lock the wipe to the mop base by using a special locking means such as a hook or a locking hole, and the handling is very easy. In addition, since the protruding portion of the peripheral edge of the wiping cloth is entangled with the side surface of the mop base as described above, the cleaning range of the mop base is extended to the side surface, so that the cleaning ability is improved. If the wipe is soiled by cleaning, the wipe can be used upside down. Also, the dirty wipe is discarded and replaced with a new wipe. Therefore, it is not necessary to clean the mop, and by appropriately replacing the wiping cloth, furniture and tables can be sequentially and sanitarily cleaned with one hand mop, so that the handling is easy, efficient, and efficient. It is hygienic.

In the present invention, preferably, the wiping cloth is
The peripheral portion protruding from the mop base has a cut, whereby the protruding part of the wipe is more easily entangled with the mop base.

[0009]

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a hand mop according to the present invention. The hand mop according to this embodiment includes a wiping cloth 1 for wiping dust and a wiping cloth 1. It comprises a mop base 2A for pressing against the part to be cleaned.

As shown in FIG. 2, the mop base 2A is formed in a glove shape by using a sponge-like synthetic resin foam, and has an insertion opening 2a for inserting a hand, and separate finger portions. 2b. This mop base 2
A is formed of a synthetic resin foam on both sides, so that the wiping cloth 1 is flexible enough to be able to be buffered in a state of being appropriately fitted to a part to be cleaned, The pressing surface 3 has a locking property by friction to such an extent that 1 does not slip.

As shown in FIG. 3, the wiping cloth 1 is made of a sheet material such as non-woven cloth or paper. The wiping cloth 1 is substantially the same shape as the mop base 2A, and has a slightly larger glove shape. It is formed so as to have an outer shape. Further, a plurality of cuts 1b are cut at an arbitrary interval on an outer peripheral portion of the wipe 1 when the wipe 1 is pressed by the mop base 2A, at a peripheral portion protruding from the mop base 2A. A strip-shaped small piece of cloth 1a is formed by these cuts 1b.

The hand mop having the above-mentioned structure inserts a hand from the insertion opening 2a into the glove-shaped mop base 2A and, as shown in FIG. And presses against the part to be cleaned, and slides back and forth, left and right to clean. At this time, since the mop base 2A has an appropriate flexibility and the pressing surface 3 has a locking property with respect to the wiping cloth 1, the cleaning target portion may be flat or not flat. Further, the wiping cloth 1 can be reliably and stably pressed against the portion to be cleaned for cleaning, and the usability at the time of cleaning is good.

Further, since the wiping cloth 1 has a glove-like outer shape larger than the mop base 2A, the wiping cloth 1 protrudes from the mop base 2A at the time of sliding, and is located particularly in front of the sliding direction. The part rises and is entangled around the side surface of the mop base 2A and around the finger part 2b, and the cleaning surface at the time of cleaning is formed by a synergistic action with the pressing surface 3 of the mop base 2A having a locking property. 1 is reliably prevented from shifting. Such entanglement of the protruding portion of the wiping cloth 1 becomes more remarkable by dividing the peripheral part of the wiping cloth 1 into the strip-shaped small cloth pieces 1a by the cuts 1b. Therefore, there is no need to lock the wipe 1 to the mop base 2A by using a special locking means such as a hook or a locking hole, and the handling becomes very easy.

Moreover, as described above, since the protruding portion of the wiping cloth 1 is entangled with the side surface, the finger portion and the like of the mop base 2A, it is possible to clean even the side surface of the mop base 2A and the side surface of each finger portion. As a result, the cleaning range is expanded and the cleaning ability is improved. The mop base 2A1 is provided with pressing surfaces 3 on both sides, so that a right-handed person or a left-handed person can commonly use the mop base 2A by turning the mop base 2A upside down. can do.

However, it is not always necessary to provide the pressing surfaces 3 on both sides of the mop base 2A as described above, but it is also possible to provide them on only one of the surfaces. In this case, the other side
If necessary, it can be covered with cloth, synthetic resin or the like.

FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the mop base.
In the mop base 2B of this embodiment, the four fingers except for the thumb 2c can be divided into one part 2 without being divided into individual parts.
d, the mop base 2A of FIG.
Is different. The other configuration is substantially the same as that of the mop base 2A of FIG. 2, and therefore, the same portions are denoted by the same reference characters and description thereof will be omitted. In this case, the wiping cloth to be used for this purpose is also adjusted to the shape of the mop base 2b except for the thumb.
It is desirable that the fingers of the book be formed into one part without being divided into individual parts.

In each of the above embodiments, the mop base is formed of a synthetic resin foam, but may be formed of other soft materials such as cloth, rubber, and synthetic resin. in this case,
On the pressing surface formed on one side or both sides of the mop base,
A method of increasing the friction between the wipe and the surface by roughening the surface or applying a high-friction material in order to have a locking property with the wipe, or implanting short fibers that lock to the wipe It is desirable to provide an appropriate locking means by a method or the like.

In each of the above embodiments, if the mop base is made of a material such as synthetic resin foam or cloth that easily penetrates dirt or water, it is necessary to prevent the hands from being stained by cleaning. Preferably, at least the inner surface is subjected to a penetration preventing treatment.

FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of the mop base according to the present invention. The mop base 1C of this embodiment has a glove-like base made of another soft material such as cloth, rubber or synthetic resin. A pressing member 6 made of a synthetic resin foam having an outer shape substantially the same as that of the base main body 5 is integrally fixed to one surface of the base main body 5 by a fixing means such as an adhesive. A pressing surface 3 for pressing against a non-cleaning part is formed. In this embodiment, the mop base 1
When the pressing surfaces 3 are provided on both surfaces of C, the pressing members 6 may be attached to both surfaces of the base body 5.

[0020]

As described in detail above, the hand mop of the present invention is formed in a glove shape from a flexible material, and is formed into a sheet-like shape by a mop base which is easily locked to a wiping cloth. The cloth is pressed against the part to be cleaned to clean it, so things like desks, tables, furniture, and ornaments that are relatively easy to access,
Non-flat parts, etc., can be reliably and stably pressed with a wiping cloth to clean, not only excelling in workability, but also
The usability during cleaning is also good. Further, since the wiping cloth is substantially the same shape as the mop base and is formed larger than the mop base, the peripheral portion protruding from the mop base during sliding is easily raised and easily entangled with the mop base. The synergistic effect of the entanglement and the fact that the mop base has a locking property with respect to the wiping cloth can reliably prevent the wiping cloth from being displaced and moved at the time of cleaning. It is possible to increase the cleaning ability by expanding to the side of. Further, since the sheet-like wipe is disposable, there is no need for cleaning, and since various parts can be cleaned using the same hand mop simply by changing the wipe, handling is easy. Efficient and sanitary.
