Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[0001] The present invention relates to a cleaning tool. In particular, the present invention relates to a tool for cleaning dust and dirt on a flat surface such as glass or a desk.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There have been known some cleaning tools which can be cleaned by covering a replaceable non-woven cleaning sheet (fiber cloth) with a suction force of the cleaning sheet to remove dust and dirt. I have. For example, Japanese Utility Model Application Hei 6-629
No. 59 discloses a cleaning tool having a cleaning sheet and a cleaning tool body capable of storing the cleaning sheet. In this cleaning tool, for example, as shown in FIG. 17, a cleaning sheet (nonwoven fabric sheet) P11 is stored in a cleaning tool body configured in a flat box shape. This eliminates the need to separately store the cleaning tool body P12 and the replaceable cleaning sheet, and facilitates the handling.

[0003] In addition, this cleaning tool is provided with a plurality of sheet holding portions P15 on a top surface P13 of the main body thereof.
The sheet holding portion P15 holds both ends of the sheet wound around the bottom surface of the main body, thereby fixing the sheet.

[0004] However, even with a conventional cleaning tool that can store the main body and the sheet as a single unit, when installing, it is necessary to remove the sheets one by one from a plurality of stacked sheets. I have to. Therefore, in order to reliably take out one sheet, it is necessary to provide a take-out opening as wide as possible so that a finger can be inserted. However, when the handle is attached to the main body so that it is easy for people to clean, the outlet is narrowed to secure the handle area, etc.
There was a problem that it was difficult to take out the sheet.

Here, in order to perform cleaning effectively, the shape must be easy to grasp by hand, and a force must be surely applied to the cleaning surface. However, in the conventional cleaning tool, since the position of the handle is restricted, the pushing force from the gripped hand is not effectively transmitted to the bottom surface serving as the cleaning surface, thereby increasing the fatigue in work or performing reliable wiping. It was difficult.

Further, in the conventional cleaning tool, in order to fix the sheet taken out to the main body, first, the sheet is firmly fitted to the cleaning surface on the bottom face of the main body, and both ends are fixed by at least four sheet holders. There is a need. Therefore, it is necessary to first fix the other end of the sheet to the holder, then wind the sheet, and then fix the sheet with another holder, so that the handling is still complicated. Moreover, since the fixing by the sheet holder needs to be performed at at least four points, there is a problem that the place where the handle is provided is further restricted.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve such a problem. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a simple cleaning tool that can easily store and remove a cleaning sheet.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a cleaning tool that can easily and reliably wind a cleaning sheet around a cleaning tool and fix it.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide a gripping portion which does not hinder the handling of the cleaning sheet.
The force that pushes out from the grasped hand is reliably transmitted to the surface (hereinafter, also referred to as the contact surface) that comes into contact with the glass, floor, or the like, so that no extra force is required and cleaning can be performed efficiently. Is to provide tools.

[0010]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A cleaning tool according to the present invention comprises a roll storage means for storing a sheet for absorbing dirt and dust in a roll form, a base supporting the roll storage means, and a roll storage means. Holding means for holding a sheet extending from a roll stored in the means; The sheet extends from the roll storage means to the holding means so as to surround at least a part of the outer periphery of the base.

Further, a part of the base covered by the sheet has at least partially an electrostatic flocking cloth. Further, the roll storage means projects from the base in the axial direction of the roll and is displaceable in the axial direction. In addition, the roll storage means acts to return from the displaced position to a predetermined home position. Have been. This effect is preferably effected by the deformation stress of the elastic means provided at the bottom of the roll storage means.

Still further, the cleaning tool according to the present invention has a cover for covering a part or all of the roll storage means. Then, by opening the cover, the nonwoven fabric roll can be replaced. In addition, the cover may be gradually locked in the open / close position. Then, with the cover, which is one of the locking positions, closed, one end of the sheet may be fixed and further cuttable.

Here, the sheet is, for example, a vertically long nonwoven fabric having a constant width. Further, it is preferable that the cleaning tool according to the present invention has a handle which is a detachable grip. The handle preferably extends from the base obliquely upward and substantially perpendicular to the roll axis.

[0014]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail through specific embodiments.

FIG. 1 shows a cleaning tool body 10 according to the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a plan view (as viewed from above) of the cleaning tool body 10. The cleaning tool body 10
A base 2 of a main body, a handle (grip) 1 which is a grip portion extending upwardly from the base 2, a cover 3 attached to the base 2 so as to be openable and closable, and a sheet wound in a roll shape It has a holder (roll storing means) 4 capable of storing a sheet roll and a holding means 5 for fixing the sheet of the sheet roll at only one end.

The handle 1, the base 2, the cover 3, and the holder 4 can be made of the same material, and can be formed of, for example, a synthetic resin such as plastic.
Further, as the sheet, a non-woven fabric in which a certain width continues vertically long can be used. Hereinafter, a specific configuration of the cleaning tool according to the present invention will be described using a nonwoven fabric sheet as an example.

FIGS. 3 and 4 show the cleaning tool main body 10 actually.
1 is an overall view and a side view of a cleaning tool main body 10 on which a nonwoven fabric sheet 7 pulled out from a nonwoven fabric roll 6 when used is wound. The base 2 has a base bottom portion 2b having a substantially flat bottom surface such that the nonwoven fabric sheet 7 wound around the base 2 is entirely in contact with a cleaning surface such as a floor or glass. ing. A part of the upper part of the base 2 is cut off in a semicircular shape at least on the side surface of the base when viewed from the lateral direction. A holder 4 having a lower portion formed in a semicircular shape along the semicircular concave portion is supported or placed on the base 2. The holder 4 extends from one end of the base to the other end in the longitudinal direction which is a roll axis. The cover 3 is attached to a part of the base 2 so as to cover the extended holder 4. The handle 1 serving as a grip extends upward from a substantially central portion of the base 2 and terminates obliquely upward so as to moderate the inclination halfway. Further, the handle 1 has a diameter that is easy for a person to grasp with one hand, and is slightly larger toward the terminal end so that the grasp by the hand is stable. In this manner, the handle 1 extends upward from the upper center of the base with a steep slope, and then continues to the end with a gentle slope, so that the pressing force from the gripped hand surely pushes the base 2. Through the bottom 2b, which is the contact surface.

The handle 1 can be detachably attached to the base body 2. The handle having a different inclination or size can be replaced and used depending on the purpose of use and purpose. For example, when the cleaning tool 10 according to the present invention is used for wiping a window, it is preferable that the angle at which the handle extends be within about 22 ° to 30 ° with respect to the bottom surface 2b of the base 2 so as to improve the use. It is also possible to make it easier. Instead of replacing the handle 1, another handle whose angle can be displaced may be used. In addition, about the concrete means of the angle adjustment,
There is no particular limitation here. Further, when cleaning a part that cannot be reached, a handle having a long handle may be used.

As shown in the side view of FIG. 4, one holding means 5 is provided at each of the longitudinal ends of the base 2 on the opposite side of the cover 3 with respect to the mounting position of the handle 1 on the base 2. . The holding means 5 is preferably formed of an elastic member having a center and a slit 5a radially cut from the center to the periphery so as to partially open. The slit 5a functions as a holding portion for holding the sheet therein. Therefore, the nonwoven fabric sheet is pushed and inserted through the slit with a finger or the like, and the nonwoven fabric sheet is inserted and held between the slits while being inserted by the stress of the holding means 5. As a more specific example, the holding unit 5
An elastic material such as so-called rubber having a high friction so that the inserted non-woven fabric sheet does not come off easily can be used. It is also preferable that the portion to be sandwiched is thick so that the nonwoven fabric sheet can be sandwiched with a certain elastic force. In order to attach this holding means 5 to the base 2 later,
An opening (not shown) in which the holding means 5 fits and is fixed is formed in the base 2 according to the outer peripheral shape 5b of the holding means 5.

The nonwoven fabric roll 6 is stored inside the holder 4. The nonwoven fabric sheet 7 is a single sheet continuously extending from the nonwoven fabric roll 6. Non-woven sheet 7
Are the sheet holding portion 3a of the closed cover 3 and the base 2
And extends from the nonwoven fabric roll 6 so as to surround a part of the outer periphery of the base 2 to the base front end 2a, the base bottom 2b, and the base rear end 2c of the base 2.
Is held and held by holding means 5 provided above. At this time, elasticity is exerted on the sheet holding portion 3a so as to press the nonwoven fabric sheet 7 in the direction of the base 2. Thereby, the nonwoven fabric sheet 7 is fixed by the sheet holding portion 3a and a part of the base 2. Therefore, the sheet holding portion 3a and the nonwoven fabric sheet 7 whose both ends are fixed by the holding means 5 do not loosen even if the cleaning tool main body 10 is slid on the surface of a desk or glass or wiped.

Here, more preferably, the base bottom 2b
, The electrostatic flocking cloth is entirely or partially processed on the base bottom 2b. As a result, the flat surface of a window, a desk, or the like is more strongly rubbed by the nonwoven fabric sheet, so that the effect of wiping or removing dirt increases. In addition, since the electrostatic flocking cloth has a so-called upright pile with a protruding tip, the non-woven fabric itself is entangled and fixed by the pile, and even if a wiping operation is performed by the cleaning tool body 10, the sheet The displacement of itself can be prevented. In addition, instead of the electrostatic flocking cloth, the bottom 2
You may use the rubber material spread to b. Rubber material is
Because of the high frictional properties, the sheet 7 that has come into contact does not easily shift. Further, in order to further increase the friction, a soft rubber material, a rubber material having a countless number of perforated holes, or a rubber material having folds protruding in places may be used.

Next, referring to FIG. 5, in the cleaning tool main body 10 of the present invention, the state in which the nonwoven fabric roll 6 (the hidden portion is indicated by a broken line) is further clarified. In order to accommodate the nonwoven fabric roll 6, the holder 4 is formed with a concave portion 4 a having an open top in the longitudinal direction of the holder 4.
The length of the concave portion 4a in the longitudinal direction is longer than the lateral width of the base 2 of the cleaning tool main body 10, and both ends of the concave portion 4a protrude from the side surface of the base 2.
Further, the holder 4 can be displaced in both directions of the arrow A in FIG. 5 with respect to the base 2 by an external force. Further, an elastic force is applied to the holder 4 so that the holder 4 can return from the state displaced in the direction of the arrow A to the original state (so-called home position).
Therefore, when the displacement force in the direction of the arrow A is removed from the outside, it is possible to return to the home position which is the original position.

With the holder 4 that can be displaced and returned, corners can be easily cleaned even when the side surface is a wall. FIG. 13 shows the displacement of the holder 4 in such a case. FIG. 13A illustrates a normal positional relationship between the base 2 and the holder 4 of the cleaning tool body 10 in a state where there is no obstruction on the side. The holder 4 is symmetrically located substantially at the center of the base 2, from which a nonwoven sheet 7 surrounds the front and rear of the base 2. On the other hand, FIG. 13B shows an obstacle S in the left corner,
For example, when there is a wall or the like, the state of the holder 4 when cleaning around the obstacle is shown. Holder 4
Since one end is pushed in the direction of arrow B by the left obstacle S, the other end of the holder 4 is displaced further than usual beyond the side surface of the base 2. At this time, the nonwoven fabric roll 6 freely placed in the concave portion 4a of the holder 4 does not break the nonwoven fabric by sliding or rotating on the concave portion 4a of the holder 4.

As described above, by projecting the holder 4 from both sides of the base 2, the nonwoven fabric sheet 7 can cover the entire bottom bottom 2b of the base 2, and the holder 4 can be displaced to the left and right. By being free, the holder 4 at the obstacle portion does not become an obstacle, and it is possible to reliably wipe off dirt even at the obstacle portion and its vicinity or corner. . In addition, it is also preferable that the side surface and the front surface of the base 2 that comes into contact with the obstacle and the side surface of the holder 4 be softly processed so as not to damage the obstacle due to the contact.

FIGS. 6 to 8 show the mechanism for displacing and returning the holder 4 more specifically. FIG. 6 is a plan view (FIG. 6A) of the holder 4 and a side view (FIG. 6A).
(B)) is shown. FIG. 7 shows the structure of the inner bottom surface of the base 2. On the bottom surface of the holder 4, sliding portions 4b extending in the longitudinal direction are provided in a pair in parallel. On the other hand, the base 2 shown in FIG.
When the holder is placed in the base 2, the sliding portion 4b is sandwiched from outside or the sliding portion 4b
The guide portions 2d which slidably join the holder 4 so as to be sandwiched from outside are provided in parallel and project from the inner bottom surface of the base 2 in pairs. This guide 2d
Thereby, the sliding portion 4b is allowed to move in the longitudinal direction, that is, the movement of the arrow A in FIG. 5, but the movement in the right-angle direction is suppressed, so that the holder 4 can be displaced in the arrow direction A in FIG. It becomes.

Next, a mechanism for returning the holder 4 to its original home position (position) (preferably a symmetrical position in the center of the base 2) when the external force on the holder 4 is released or absent. Will be described.

Referring to FIG. 6, a quadrangular projection 4c protruding outward is provided integrally with the holder 4 at the center of the bottom of the holder 4. On the other hand, FIG. 8 shows a plan view and a side view of the return operation member 8 for returning the holder 4 to the original position (that is, the home position). The return action member 8 has an opening 8c at the center 8b into which the protrusion 4c of the holder 4 can be inserted. At both ends, on the other hand, a substantially elliptical or circular elastic portion 8a is provided. In this example, the return action member 8 is integrally formed of a resin having a spring property. The material may be any material as long as it has stress and restores. For example, an elastic material having a predetermined stress such as plastic or vinyl may be used.

The return action member 8 is integrally connected to the holder 4 below the holder 4 by inserting the protrusion 4c into the opening 8c. The return operation member 8 and the holder 4 having the integral shape are placed inside the base 2 shown in FIG.
The holder 4 described above is arranged so as to be movable and displaced in the lateral direction. Here, as shown in FIG.
A pair of support portions 2e for pressing inwardly the elastic portions 8a of both wings of the return action member 8 attached to the holder 4 are provided on the inner bottom surface of the pair. This pair of support portions 2e
Is preferably substantially the same as or smaller than the distance between both ends of the return operation member 8. Thus, while the holder 4 can be displaced in response to an external force, the position of the holder 4 is returned to the center by the stress generated by the deformation of the elastic portion 8a pushed from both sides by the support portion 2e. Acted upon. In this example, the elastic portions 8a of both wings of the return action member 8 have a band-like continuous circular shape in this example. Any shape such as a triangular shape may be used. Further, the material, shape, and the like to be used can be appropriately selected so that the holder 4 can be easily displaced by hitting the obstacle and the stress can be returned to the original state.

Next, the mechanism for opening and closing the cover 3 will be described. FIG. 9 is an overall schematic view of the cover 3 and the internal structure of the base 2 related to the rotational movement of the cover 3. As is clear by referring to the internal structure diagram of the base 2 in FIG. 7, the side wall 2 h extending upward from the base bottom 2 b includes:
A rotation support portion 2x for rotatably supporting the cover 3 is formed. The cover 3 is locked to the rotation support 2x so as to be rotatable about the rotation shaft 3c. The cover 3 has an engagement protrusion 3b extending from the side wall 2h. A rotation locking portion 2f extending upward from the base bottom 2b is formed at the tip of the rotation locking portion 2f. Further, a second rotation locking portion 2g lower than the height of the rotation locking portion 2f is formed between the first rotation locking portion 2f and the side wall 2h. By the rotation locking portion 2f and the rotation locking portion 2g, the respective positions of the closed state and the open state of the cover 3 are held.

FIG. 10 shows the rotation locking portion 2f and the rotation locking portion 2
The schematic diagram showing the engagement with the cover 3 and the rotation shaft 3
It is represented from the axial direction of c. When the cover 3 is in a closed state, the shape of the engagement protrusion 3b and a part of the shape of the rotation locking portion 2f are combined with each other to form the cover 3.
The position can be secured. In this example, the protruding side 3d protrudes so that the tip shape of the rotation locking portion 2f complements and meshes with the tip shape of the engagement projection 3b. On the other hand, the rotation locking portion 2f has a rectangular concave portion 2y for receiving the surface of the protruding side 3d. When the cover 3 is about to be opened, the engaging projection 3b combined with the rotation locking part 2f is used.
Performs clockwise rotation (clockwise rotation) as viewed from the figure. At this time, the protruding side 3d exerts a force on the rotation locking portion 2f so as to push the rotation locking portion 2f. As a result, the rotation locking portion 2f bends and the engagement with the engagement protrusion 3b is released. When the cover 3 is further rotated in the opening direction, the outer surface of the protruding side 3d at the tip of the engagement projection 3b is brought into contact with the tip of the rotation engagement portion 2g, and then the rotation engagement portion 2g is slightly deformed to rotate. The state of the cover 3 is indicated by the broken line in FIG.
Since g returns to its original state by the stress, the cover 3 is prevented from returning to its original state. Thereby, the cover 3
Is normally kept open upward, the opening 4a of the holder 4 shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 is exposed to the outside, and the storage and removal of the nonwoven fabric roll 6 in the holder 4 become easy.

Next, when the cover 3 is closed, the engagement projection 3b is rotated counterclockwise as viewed in the drawing to
The rotation locking portion 2g is deformed in a direction opposite to the direction in which the cover 3 is closed, and the engagement protrusion 3b rotates in the direction of the rotation locking portion 2f beyond the head of the rotation locking portion 2g. To allow. And the protruding side 3d at the tip of the engaging protruding portion 3b is
It separates from the rotation locking part 2g and comes into contact again with a part of the rotation locking part 2f to deform the rotation locking part 2f. Finally, when the engagement projection 3b reaches a position where the engagement projection 3b and the rotation locking portion 2f in a state where the cover 3 is closed are closed, the deformed rotation locking portion 2f is returned to its original position by the stress. Returning to the state, the fixed connection between the engagement protrusion 3b and the rotation locking portion 2f is secured.

The opening and closing of the cover 3 described with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10 is basically a description of an opening and closing mechanism that can secure two states, a closed state and an open state. When the cover 3 is open, the nonwoven fabric roll 6 can be taken out of the holder 4 or the nonwoven fabric roll 6 can be mounted on the holder 4. On the other hand, the state where the cover 3 is closed generally indicates a state where the cleaning tool body 10 can be used. However, the cover 3 is so arranged that the nonwoven fabric roll 6 can be pulled out of the nonwoven fabric sheet 7.
It is convenient if a slightly open state, that is, a half-open state can be ensured.

FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram showing a second example of such an opening / closing mechanism for the cover 3. As shown in FIG. 11A shows a state in which the cover 3 is completely closed, FIG. 11B shows a state in which the cover 3 is half-opened, and FIG. 11C shows a state in which the cover 3 is fully opened.
In this embodiment, an engagement projection 3b 'according to the second example is provided instead of the engagement projection 3b according to the first example. As seen in FIG. 11 (b), the engagement projection 3b '
Is formed with a side (surface) 3e that comes into contact with the entire surface of the rotation locking portion 2f when the cover 3 is half-opened. At this time,
The position is fixed by the stress of the rotation locking portion 2f, so that the cover 3 maintains a half-open state.

As shown in FIG. 11 (a), when the cover 3 is forcibly completely closed by an external force such as a human hand, the protrusion 3f acting to push out the rotation locking portion 2f. Are formed on the engagement protrusion 3b 'following the side 3e. At this time, the reaction force from the rotation locking portion 2f is applied to the protruding portion 3f, and the cover 3 generates a rotation force that returns to the half-open state. Therefore, when the forced external force leaves,
The cover 3 returns to the half-open state shown in FIG.

As described above, when the cover 3 is in the half-open state as shown in FIG. 11B, the nonwoven fabric sheet 7 can be pulled out from the nonwoven fabric roll 6 while the cover 3 is almost closed. Here, in the normal state (use state) of the cleaning tool 10, the cover 3 is half-opened, so that the cover 3 does not fix the nonwoven fabric sheet. However, as described above, by providing an electrostatic flocking cloth on the bottom surface 2b of the base,
The nonwoven sheet does not slip easily. Although FIG. 11 omits the rotation locking portion 2g shown in FIG. 9,
To keep the cover 3 completely open,
The rotation locking portion 2g may be provided. Also,
A cutout 3g may be formed below the front end of the engagement protrusion 3b 'so that the cutout 3g can be easily slipped through and rotated even when it comes into contact with the rectangular rotation locking portion 2f.

Next, a mechanism for opening and closing the cover 3 according to a third example will be described. FIG. 12 shows the cover 3 in three states, similar to the second example of the opening / closing mechanism of the cover 3. The rotation locking portion 2f "provided in place of the rotation locking portion 2f shown in the first and second examples is formed with two concave portions 2m and 2n. A third example of the engagement projection 3b ″ that replaces the projection 3b ′ has a projection 3d ″ at the tip thereof in a shape corresponding to the recess of the rotation locking portion 2f ″. In FIG. 12, the two concave portions 2m and 2n of the rotation locking portion 2f ″ have two curved concave shapes that can maintain a completely closed state and a half-opened state, respectively. Side 3d "protrudes in a shape such that its position can be fixed when it reaches its indentation. Thereby, the cover 3 can be changed to three states around the rotation shaft 3c.

Here, the nonwoven fabric roll 6 is made of one sheet 7
Is formed in a roll shape. The nonwoven fabric sheet 7 preferably has perforations that can be easily separated at predetermined intervals in parallel with the roll axis direction of the nonwoven fabric roll 6. Further, the interval may be a sufficient distance so that the nonwoven fabric sheet 7 comes out of the sheet holding portion 3 a of the cover 3, wraps around the base bottom 2 b, and is securely fixed by the other holding means 5. When replacing the nonwoven fabric roll 6 after wiping, if the nonwoven fabric sheet 7 is fixed between the cover 3 and the base 2 by holding the cover 3 and cut off along the perforations, an unnecessary sheet can be easily removed. Can be thrown away. Further, by setting the cover 3 in a half-open state, the non-woven fabric roll 6 is prevented from jumping out of the mouth of the cover 3, and one side of the non-woven fabric sheet 7 is maintained while maintaining a constant tension by the frictional force of the surface of the non-woven fabric itself. The sheet 7 can be wound so as to firmly face the bottom surface 2b of the drawer or the base.

Further, a straw-shaped core larger than the half-open width of the cover 3 is used for the non-woven fabric roll 6, and the core and one end of the non-woven fabric sheet are adhered and the sheet is wound around the core. A nonwoven fabric roll 6 may be formed. As a result, even when the roll becomes the last roll, the core does not protrude from the half-opened cover 3, and the nonwoven fabric sheet 7 from the nonwoven fabric roll 6 can be used efficiently to the end.

Here, in order to facilitate the cutting of the sheet, a sheet cutting means having a tooth shape or a tapered shape is provided at or near the sheet holding portion 3a along the sheet holding portion 3a. Or the sheet holding portion 3a of the cover 3
May be integrally formed on the base 2 at a position corresponding to. The sheet cutting means cuts the sheet at irregular intervals, or applies more cutting tension to the perforated sheet, thereby more reliably and easily separating the sheet. Can also be planned.

Next, a second example of the cleaning tool is shown in FIGS.
6 will be described. FIG. 14 is an overall perspective view of a cleaning tool main body 110 of the second example according to the present invention. FIG. 15 is a side view of the cleaning tool main body 110. A cover 103 is formed on the base 102 of the main body by a double arrow A in FIG.
It can be opened and closed in the direction of. Base 10
2 has a base bottom portion 102b that is long at a constant thickness. On the other hand, the grip 101 protruding from the base bottom 102b is adjacent to the end of the base bottom 102b with a slope adjacent to the cover 103 and falling in a direction opposite to the cover. The holding portion 101 is provided with a concave portion 101a in which a finger can be properly fitted when held by a hand.
On the other hand, the upper portion 101b of the grip portion has a width such that the upper portion 101b can be properly fitted in the palm of the gripped hand.

On the upper portion of the base 102, a holder (roll storage means) 104 is provided similarly to the holder (roll storage means) 4 of the cleaning tool body 10 according to the first example. This holder 104 stores a sheet roll,
It is functionally the same as the holder 4 such that it can be displaced in the roll axis direction and projects from the base 102 in both axial directions.

The cover 103 is also functionally the same as the cover 3 according to the first example. The engaging projection 1 is fixed from a part of the upper portion of the cover and extends rearward.
03b is also a side wall 102h for supporting the cover 103.
, Which is also rotatably connected to the side wall 2h according to the first example.
It is functionally the same as 3b ', 3b "(see FIGS. 9 to 12). Accordingly, the engagement protrusions 3b, 3b' and 3b" are provided.
Thus, the cover 103 can be opened and closed stepwise so that the cover 3 can be opened and closed stepwise. The grip portion 101 has a high strength because the grip portion 101 continuously extends from the high and slightly thick side wall 102h while enclosing the engagement protrusion 103b at a part thereof.

As described above, the components of the cleaning tool 110 according to the second embodiment of the present invention have the same functions as those of the cleaning tool 10 according to the first embodiment, and the structure accompanying the shape change. The above changes are obvious to those skilled in the art,
No further description will be given. In the cleaning tool main body 110 according to the second example, the gripper 101 extends substantially at right angles to the holder (roll storage means) 104.
The cleaning tool bottom 102b is spread on the roll axis direction, and the gripper 101 is arranged on the spread bottom 102b so as to extend parallel to the roll axis of the holder 104 or at a different angle depending on the application. May be.
With this configuration, the work such as cleaning by shaking the grasped hand to the left and right becomes easy.

Next, the holding section 101 is provided with holding means 105 for holding the sheet in the opposite direction to the roll storage means 104. The holding means 105 is made of an elastic material 5 such as a rubber with a slit described in the first example.
However, as shown in FIG. 15, one or a plurality of individually swingable door-like rotating portions are provided in a portion of the cleaning tool body 110 extending from the grip portion 101, and the rotating portion is provided. Thus, the sheet may be interposed and fixed to the cleaning tool main body 110. In FIG. 15, the holding means 105
It is composed of a rotating part 105a and a contact surface 105b. The rotating portion 105a is provided on a shaft 1 provided at an extension of the grip portion 101.

As described above, the roll storing means is provided on the base, and the roll storing means stores the rolled sheet roll, from which the sheet is stretched, and the wiping surface such as glass or floor is removed. Since at least a surface (so-called contact surface) in contact with the sheet is covered, not only the sheet can be easily stored, but also the sheet replacement operation can be simplified, and a very easy-to-use cleaning tool can be provided.

Further, the width of the roll storage means in the roll axis direction is made wider than that of the main body base so that the stored sheet can store a sheet whose width is larger than the width of the contact surface of the base bottom surface in the roll axis direction. As a result, the entire contact surface can be reliably wiped, and efficient cleaning can be performed.

In addition, by making the roll storage means displaceable with respect to the base, a wide area can be reliably wiped without being obstructed by an obstacle from the side.

Further, the handle is formed to extend upward from the center of the base body in the vicinity of the holder and to have a gentle inclination in the middle, so that the handle is easy to hold and the pressing force is reliably applied to the contact surface. Since it is added, the labor is reduced, and the wiping surface can be reliably wiped off even with a weak force. In addition, instead of the handle, a base with a wide contact surface is provided on the base, and a raised grip portion is provided on the base, so that the grip can be firmly held, and evenly uniform on the wide contact surface. By applying force, it was possible to provide a cleaning tool that is easy to clean and that can be effectively wiped.
