Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cleaning tool suitable for cleaning a net stretched over a screen door.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, when cleaning a screen door, a rag is directly held by a hand and pressed against a net, and the dust is removed by moving it vertically or horizontally along the net. It is easy to bend, and if you apply a strong force to the rag, it may loosen at that part or break at that part. Conversely, if you reduce the pressing force, dirt will not easily come off, so it is very difficult to control the force during cleaning. In addition, when cleaning the screen door, it is common to wipe it with water, but since the rag tends to dry due to rubbing against the screen door during cleaning, it must be replenished frequently by immersing it in the bucket water. It had to be done, and the work was troublesome.

[0003]

The main technical problem of the present invention is that the cleaning cloth can be cleaned without being damaged by pressing the wiping cloth against the net of the screen door with a moderate force. It is to provide a cleaning tool for screen doors having excellent performance. Another technical problem of the present invention is to keep the cleaning tool having a good water-containing function, so that the wiping of the screen door can be performed for a long time without replenishing the water frequently by immersing it in the water of the bucket. It is to be able to do it continuously.

[0004]

In order to solve the above problems, the screen door cleaning tool of the present invention is a wiping cloth for wiping off dirt on the screen door, and cleaning for mounting the wiping cloth to perform cleaning work. The cleaning tool body comprises a tool body, and the cleaning tool body has a substantially rectangular holding plate having a smaller outer dimension than the sponge body, and is attached to the upper surface of the compressive sponge body having a substantially rectangular plate shape. It is configured by attaching a handle, and has holes at four corners of the holding plate, and has notches for pressing and fixing the wipe cloth at positions corresponding to the holes on the upper surface of the sponge body. It is characterized by.

In the cleaning tool having the above construction, the wiping cloth is wound around the sponge body of the cleaning tool body, and the end of the wiping cloth is inserted into the notch on the upper surface of the sponge body through the hole of the holding plate to fix it. In this state, the wiping cloth is pressed against the net of the screen door via the sponge body to clean the net.
At this time, since the wiping cloth is flexibly pressed against the net by the elastic force of the compressible sponge body, the wiping cloth is brought into contact with the net with an appropriate force to bend or damage the net more than necessary. Never. Further, by impregnating the sponge body with water, it is possible to continue supplying water to the wiping cloth from the sponge body for a relatively long time. Can be cleaned.

In the present invention, at least a part of the lower surface of the sponge body may be provided with a brush for increasing the cleaning power, and in this case, the cleaning power for the screen door can be further improved.

[0007]

1 to 3 show a first embodiment of a screen cleaning tool according to the present invention. The cleaning tool of this example is a wiping cloth 1 for wiping off dirt on the screen door. And a cleaning tool main body 2 for performing cleaning work by mounting the wiping cloth 1.

The wiping cloth 1 is made of non-woven fabric or woven cloth, paper having water resistance and flexibility, and is of a wet type impregnated with a cleaning liquid, a dusting agent or the like in advance, or at the time of cleaning. There is a dry type that is impregnated with water or a cleaning liquid. When the wiping cloth 1 is formed of a non-woven fabric, the wiping cloth 1 may contain ultrafine fibers having a fiber diameter of a micrometer level. Due to this, not only the dust collecting ability of the wiping cloth 1 is improved, but also the ultrafine fibers are entangled with the surface of the sponge body 3, so that the wiping cloth 1 is securely held by the sponge body 3 and moves during cleaning. Never.

The cleaning tool main body 2 has a substantially rectangular plate-like sponge body 3, a holding plate 4 attached to the upper surface of the sponge body 3, and a holding plate 4 connected to the holding plate 4. It is composed of handle 5.

It is preferable that the sponge body 3 has such flexibility that it can be compressed to some extent according to the bending of the net when it is pressed against the net of the screen door, and the thickness thereof is about 1 as well.
It is preferably about 3 cm. Further, the holding plate 4 is formed of a hard or semi-hard material such as synthetic resin into a substantially rectangular shape having a smaller outer dimension than the sponge body 3, and the handle 5 is fixedly attached to the substantially central portion of the upper surface thereof. ing.
The handle 5 stands up from the holding plate 4 in a slightly inclined state, and then extends in the lateral direction of the holding plate 4,
The rear end thereof is a free end without being connected to the holding plate 4, and is separated from the holding plate 4.

As shown in FIG. 2, at the four corners of the holding plate 4, holes 6 having a substantially elliptical shape in plan view for pushing a part of the wiping cloth 1 are formed, and the upper surface of the sponge body 3 is formed. Slit-shaped notches 7 for fixing the wiping cloth 1 are provided at positions corresponding to these holes 6.

The notch 7 is linearly cut in the major axis direction of the hole 6, and holds a part of the wipe cloth 1 pushed into the notch 7 by the elasticity of the sponge body 3,
The wiping cloth 1 is fixed so as not to come off easily.
The cut 7 does not necessarily have to be formed in a straight line, and may be formed in a corrugated shape, a cross shape, or the like in which the wiping cloth 1 can be easily pushed in and is hard to come off.

The cleaning tool having the above structure is shown in FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 3, the wiping cloth 1 is wound so as to cover the front surface, the lower surface and the rear surface of the sponge body 3, and the end portion of the wiping cloth 1 is passed through the hole 6 of the holding plate 4 and the notch 7 of the sponge body 3 is cut.
The cleaning tool main body 2 is attached to the cleaning tool body 2, and the sponge body 3 side is pressed against the net of the screen door to clean the net with the wiping cloth 1. In addition, the wipe 1
If necessary, add a cleaning liquid such as water or detergent solution.

At this time, since the wiping cloth 1 is flexibly pressed against the net through the elastic force of the compressible sponge body 3, even if the cleaning tool is pressed a little too much, the extra force is not applied. The wiping cloth 1 absorbed by the sponge body 3 always comes into contact with the net with an appropriate force, and the net is not bent or damaged more than necessary. If the sponge body 3 is impregnated with a cleaning liquid such as water or a detergent solution, the cleaning liquid can be continuously supplied from the sponge body 3 to the wiping cloth 1 for a relatively long time. It is not necessary to impregnate the cleaning liquid, and cleaning can be performed continuously for a long time.

FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment of the present invention.
The cleaning tool of the second embodiment differs from the cleaning tool of the first embodiment in that a brush 8 for improving cleaning power is provided on the lower surface of the sponge body 3, that is, the surface pressed against the net of the screen door. It is the point where it was attached. The other structure is substantially the same as that of the first embodiment. The brush 8 is a tape-shaped base material 8a having flexibility that does not impair the flexibility of the sponge body 3, and has a waist strength that does not buckle when pressed against a net during cleaning. have. Then, the base material 8a is attached to the central portion in the width direction of the lower surface of the sponge body 3 by adhering the base material 8a with an adhesive, a double-sided tape or the like, over the entire length of the sponge body 3 in the longitudinal direction.

In this way, by attaching the relatively strong brush 8 to the lower surface of the flexible sponge body 3, the flexible brush 8 is acted upon by the flexible pressing force of the sponge body 3.
Since the rigidity force due to can be applied, the wiping cloth 1 can be pressed against the net for cleaning in a form in which both soft and hard forces are mixed, and the cleaning force is enhanced. Moreover, since the pressing force of the brush 8 is automatically adjusted by the flexibility of the sponge body 3, it is much easier to adjust the force level during cleaning as compared with the case where a rigid brush is directly pressed against the net. is there.

In the above embodiment, the brush 8 is
Although the brush 8 is attached to the central portion of the sponge body 3 in the longitudinal direction, the brush 8 does not necessarily have to be such a shape, and a small piece-shaped brush may be attached at an appropriate position or the sponge body 3 may be attached. It can also be installed so as to cover the entire lower surface. In short, it suffices if it is attached to at least a part of the lower surface of the sponge body 3.

Further, the hole 6 provided in the holding plate 4 is not limited to an elliptical shape in plan view, but may have any shape and size such as a rectangular shape or a circular shape so that the wiping cloth 1 can be easily pushed. Can be used. Further, the handle 5 is not limited to the one described above, and may be a rod-shaped member which is rotatably attached to the holding plate and is relatively long.

[0019]

As described above in detail, according to the screen door cleaning tool of the present invention, the sponge body is configured to hold the wiping cloth to clean the screen door. It can be pressed flexibly against the net with moderate force,
The screen door can be cleaned without damaging the net. By the way, if the sponge body is impregnated with the cleaning liquid, the cleaning liquid can be continuously supplied from the sponge body for a relatively long time, so it is not necessary to frequently impregnate the cleaning cloth with the cleaning liquid. Cleaning can be performed continuously for hours.
