Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Technical Field The present invention relates to a cleaning tool used for cleaning window glass, large mirrors, etc.

Conventional technology Traditionally, when cleaning window glass, large mirrors, etc., cloth such as miscellaneous cloth or non-woven fabric is impregnated with water containing a cleaner.
It is normal to remove dirt.

However, if the surface of the glass is left wet with water containing cleaner in this way, after the dirty water dries, the dissolved substances will reappear on the surface of the glass, making the surface of the glass dirty again. Put it away.

For this reason, when cleaning glass plates, after wiping them with a wet cloth, scrape off the water containing dissolved substances remaining on the plate surface with a piece of rubber, or wipe it with a dry cloth. It has to be done and takes time.

Also, when it comes to stains on glass plates, etc., there are stains that are relatively easy to remove and stains that are highly adhesive.The former can be easily removed with a damp cloth, but the latter cannot be removed with something as hard as a bamboo spatula. It needs to be scraped off.

In any case, when cleaning plate-like objects such as glass windows and mirrors,
A large number of tools are required, such as wet cloths, dry cloths, bamboo spatulas, etc., and it is necessary to carry these various tools and change them as needed for cleaning.

Therefore, when the area to be cleaned is large, it is extremely troublesome to carry and replace a large number of these tools while cleaning.

Initially, the inventor of the present invention considered that when removing dirt, the dirty glass plate should first be wetted with water and then be scraped off.
A cleaning tool was conceived and prototyped in which a cleaning member having a wetting function was superposed and clamped on the upper surface of a scraping member made of a rubber body (Utility Model Publication No. 58-16370).

However, when superimposed clamping is used in this way, the area of the cleaning member becomes small, and the scraping member and cleaning member are located close to each other, so the positional relationship between the cleaning tool and the glass surface However, due to reasons such as the cleaning member touching the glass surface before the scraping member during the scraping operation, a sufficient cleaning effect may not be obtained.

From this, it has been found that it is better to install the scraping member and the cleaning member with a certain distance between them.

Further, the life of the cleaning member is shorter than that of the scraping member, and the scraping member also deteriorates when used for a long period of time.

From this, it has been found that the scraping member and the cleaning member need to be able to be attached and detached independently of each other.

Furthermore, in addition to a normal scraping member made of an elastic material such as rubber, a scraping member is provided to remove particularly strong and stubborn dirt, and the scraping member can be used differently depending on the degree of dirt. It has been found that this is necessary to enhance the cleaning effect.

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 53-54381 discloses a cleaning tool in which a scraping member and a cleaning member are installed at a constant distance, and a cleaning member having a wetting function is detachable.

However, since this cleaning tool simply includes a cleaning member and a scraping member made of rubber, it is not suitable for removing stubborn dirt 1c with strong adhesion.

In addition, since it consists of two rectangular plates stacked one on top of the other at a distance and secured with screws, and the scraping member is sandwiched between them, when replacing the scraping member, the screws must be removed or tightened. It has to be done and it takes time.

Furthermore, since it is secured with screws, it takes time and effort to assemble, and there is also the problem that during use, the screws get wet and rust, making disassembly and reassembly difficult.

Purpose of the invention In view of the above-mentioned problems associated with the conventional technology and the inventor's knowledge based on prototype production, the purpose of the invention is to extremely easily clean plate glass such as glass windows and large mirrors. It has a dirt wiping function, a relatively light dirt scraping function,
To provide a cleaning tool having a simple structure and having a high cleaning effect and a function of scraping off stubborn dirt at the same time.

Structure of the invention According to the invention, the purpose of pre-starting has been achieved by the following structure.

That is, the cleaning tool of the present invention consists of an upper clamp member and a lower clamp member, the upper clamp member is formed with a fitting groove extending in the width direction of the clamp member, and the lower clamp member has a fitting groove extending in the width direction of the clamp member. A retaining piece is provided protrudingly,
The engaging piece fits into the fitting groove, and its end protrudes from the upper clamp member, and the tip of the protruding part is angular so as to serve as a part for scraping off stuck dirt, and is made of a porous cleaning member. A cleaning holding member to which is fixed is detachably attached to sandwich the protrusion of the engaging piece, and the scraping holding member is clamped between the upper clamp member and the lower clamp member, and the scraping holding member is clamped between the upper clamp member and the lower clamp member. The member is comprised of a tubular rigid body with an opening along the width direction, and is characterized in that it holds a flat, resilient scraping member with its distal end protruding from the width direction opening.
