[Prior Art and Problems to be Solved]

 As an example of a mop that holds the mop rag by inserting the insertion part connected to the handle into the inserted part of the mop rag, there is a handy mop disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 1-66267.

As for the construction, the mop rag holding device is provided with a hook (above-thickly formed portion) above the opening of the upper cloth forming the hole (inserted portion), and the mop rag holding device is provided. For, the piece is placed on the handle through the constriction so that it is located at the top of the handle. The gap between the piece and the hole is smaller than the thickness of the top cloth.

When the handle is inserted into the hole, this handy mop pushes the hook into the gap between the piece and the hole, and the elastic deformation of the neck causes the hook to be inserted between the neck and the handle. The front cloth is held between the piece and the handle to hold the mop rag. Therefore, it cannot be said that holding the mop rag is always reliable. In addition, it is necessary to install a hook on the mop cloth, and if the mop cloth is repeatedly attached and detached for cleaning, etc., the hook may be damaged. .

Further, as an example of a mop cloth holder for holding the mop cloth by inserting the insertion portion connected to the handle portion into the inserted portion of the mop cloth, and holding the nipping portion of the mop cloth, There is a mop gripping tool disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 1-12693.

In this mop gripping tool, an insertion piece is inserted into the bag-shaped portion of the wiping body (mop rag) and the rotary lever portion is rotated, so that the protrusion provided on the rotary lever portion is bag-shaped. While pressing the cloth on the upper side of the part to sandwich the pressed part between the insertion piece and the protrusion, at the same time, the connecting piece fixed to the turning lever part is used to elastically deform the rear end of the protrusion. By overcoming the protrusion of the part, the turning lever part is locked in the sandwiched state.

However, as disclosed in the publication as a problem, the lock and the lock thereof are elastically deformed to the extent that the rotary lever can be locked in order to maintain the holding of the wiping member. It requires a relatively strong force to release, and if the mop rag is repeatedly removed and attached for cleaning, etc., the contact part between the connecting piece and the projection at the rear end of the projection wears and it becomes impossible to lock. turn into.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems existing in the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to form a thick portion near the held portion of the mop rag. (EN) A mop mop holding device and mop which can easily hold and remove a mop mop with a relatively light force and avoid the problems of parts replacement due to wear and deterioration of reliability of holding. Especially.

[0009]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the mop rag holding device of the present invention is configured such that the insertion part connected to the handle is inserted into the inserted part of the mop rag and the nipping part of the mop rag is clamped. A mop rag holder for holding a rag, comprising a clamping position at which the clamped part can be clamped between a fixed clamping part provided in the insertion part, and a clamped part between the fixed clamping part. A movable gripping portion which is provided so as to be movable between an entrance / exit position having a space that allows substantially free entry / exit and is biased to maintain the entrance / exit position, and the movable gripping portion is moved to the sandwiching position by pressing. It is possible to move between the holding position where it can be held and the holding release position that allows the movable holding part to be located at the in / out position, and the moving direction from the holding position to the holding release position is the movable holding part. Moves from the sandwiched position to the in / out position It is assumed to have a pressing portion provided so as not to coincide with the direction.

In addition, the mop of the present invention comprises a mop cloth holder for the mop, an inserted portion into which the insertion portion of the mop cloth holder can be inserted, and a fixed pinch with the insertion portion inserted in the inserted portion. It has a mop cloth including a sandwiched portion that can be sandwiched between the movable portion and the movable sandwiching portion.

The pressing portions of the mop cloth holding device and the mop rotate between the gripping holding position and the gripping releasing position by operating the lever portion located along the grip portion at the gripping holding position. It is desirable to be provided so as to move.

[0012]

[Action]

 In the inventions of claims 1 and 3, when the pressing part is located at the pinch release position, the movable pinch part is kept in the retracted position by being urged. Since there is a space between the movable holding part and the fixed holding part, which are kept in the in / out position, so that the held part of the mop rag can be moved in and out substantially freely, the insertion part can be inserted into the mop rag. The clamped portion can be inserted between the movable clamp portion and the fixed clamp portion by inserting the movable clamp portion into the movable clamp portion and the fixed clamp portion. When the pressing part is moved to the holding position after being positioned in this way, the movable holding part is moved to the holding position by being pressed by the pressing part, and is held between the fixed holding part and the held part of the mop rag. To pinch. When the pressing part is moved to the clamping release position again, the movable clamping part returns to the in / out position, so that the insertion part can be pulled out from the inserted part of the mop rag and the mop rag can be removed. Since the moving direction of the pressing part from the holding position to the holding position is not the same as the moving direction of the movable holding part from the holding position to the in / out position, the force to release the holding of the movable holding part during use. That is, even if the movable holding portion receives a force in the direction in which the movable holding portion moves from the holding position to the in-out position, the pressing portion does not move from the holding position.

In the inventions of claims 2 and 4, the pressing portion is moved between the holding position and the holding release position by rotating the lever portion. When the mop rag is held by arranging the pressing portion at the clamping and holding position, the lever portion is along the handle portion, so it is possible to avoid the lever portion from accidentally hitting an object during use.

【Example】

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 to 5 show a mop according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a side view of the mop, FIG. 2 is a side view of a main part of the mop, and FIG. 3 is a mop cloth and a mop. It is a perspective view of a rag holder.

The mop cloth 10 is provided with a wiping tuft 14 below the substantially rectangular base cloth 12 formed on both sides in a convex shape, and on the upper side of the base cloth 12 from the one end in the longitudinal direction of about 4 cm. The inserted portion 18 occupying about three thirds is provided. Reference numeral 20 is a cloth for forming an inserted portion that is sewn to the upper side of the base cloth 12, and the opening edge thereof is folded back to form a double portion 22. The sandwiched portion 24 is a portion slightly inside the opening edge portion. In addition, it is preferable that the base cloth 12 be relatively hard to bend.

The mop cloth holding device 30 is mainly composed of a base cloth pressing portion 32 located on the upper surface of the base cloth 12 while holding the mop cloth 10 and a base portion 32 a of the base cloth pressing portion 32. It is composed of a grip portion 34 that is raised obliquely upward toward the rear and a pressing member 36.

The base cloth pressing portion 32 has a substantially flat plate shape which is slightly smaller than the base cloth 12, and the insertion portion 38 has a length of about three-fourths from the tip end portion. The insertion portion 38 is hollowed out in a substantially rectangular shape for weight saving and cost reduction, and is formed so as to be gradually thinned toward the distal end for easy insertion. It is desirable that the shape and size of the insertion portion 38 be such that it can be inserted as closely as possible into the inserted portion 18 of the mop rag 10 in order to securely hold the mop rag 10. The base portion 32a of the base cloth pressing portion 32 is formed to have a thickness about twice that of the other portions.

In front of the front end side of the base portion 32a of the base cloth pressing portion 32, a movable holding portion 42 is provided so as to be swingable in a substantially vertical direction via a thin hinge portion 40. . The movable holding portion 42 has a substantially flat plate shape that is substantially horseshoe-shaped in plan view, and has a holding protrusion 44 on the lower side of the tip end portion. FIG. 4 is a bottom view of the movable holding section 42. The movable holding portion 42 has a shape (not shown) that is slanted upward and diagonally forward and is integrally formed with the base cloth pressing portion 32 and the hinge portion 40 by a synthetic resin. As a result, the movable holding portion 42 is biased upward. As the synthetic resin, it is desirable to adopt a resin having a high durability of the hinge portion 40 against repeated rocking. The upper surface of the base portion 32 a of the insertion portion 38 facing the holding protrusion 44 is the fixed holding portion 46.

The pressing member 36 includes a rotating plate portion 36a having a substantially elliptical shape in a plane, a lever portion 36b projecting obliquely upward and rearward of the rotating plate portion 36a, and a lower end portion of the rotating plate portion 36a. , A pressing portion 36c protruding from both sides so as to smoothly rise downward, a rotating shaft portion 36d protruding below the central portion of the rotating plate portion 36a, and a lower end of the rotating shaft portion 36d. The protrusion 36f is provided so as to protrude radially outward from the large diameter portion 36e. The upper surface of the front portion of the rotating plate portion 36a is formed in a shape that is inclined slightly downward toward the front. This is because when the mop rag 10 is held and used, it can be inserted into a narrow gap as deep as possible for cleaning.

The rotating shaft portion 36d of the pressing member 36 is rotatably held inside the base portion 32a of the base cloth pressing portion 32, so that the rotating plate portion 36a is positioned slightly above the base portion 32a. ing. As shown in FIG. 5 which is a bottom view of the essential parts of the mop cloth holder 30, stoppers are provided in the base portion 32a at two positions separated by a central angle of approximately 90 degrees so as to be able to abut the protrusion 36f. The portion 48 is provided, and the protrusion 36f of the pressing member 36 is located in the space between the stopper portions 48 at a center angle of about 90 degrees. Therefore, the rotation range of the pressing portion 36c is limited between the position where the lever portion 36b faces the rear and the position where the lever portion 36b faces the side, as shown in FIGS.

As shown by the solid lines in FIGS. 1 and 3, at the position where the lever part 36b for rotating the pressing part 36c faces rearward (the sandwiching and holding position), the pressing part 36c is movable. The upper surface of the movable holding portion 42 is pressed downward, and the movable holding portion 42 is held at a holding position where the held portion 24 of the mop cloth 10 can be held between the holding protrusion 44 and the fixed holding portion 46. Further, at the position where the lever portion 36b faces to the side as shown by the chain double-dashed line in FIGS. 2 and 3 (holding release position), the movable holding portion 42 is lifted by the pressing portion 36c and released upward. Although it swings to, it is still held at a fixed position (in / out position) by the lower surface of the rotating plate portion 36a. At this time, there is a space between the sandwiching projection 44 of the movable sandwiching portion 42 and the fixed sandwiching portion 46 so that the sandwiched portion 24 of the mop rag 10 can be put in and out substantially freely. In addition to the above-mentioned means, for example, a hinge or various guide means may be used in order to provide the movable holding portion 42 so as to move between the holding position and the moving-in / out position and to urge it so as to maintain the moving-in / out position. Also, it can be realized by using means having various spring actions.

The handle portion 34 is integral with the base cloth pressing portion 32, and is a handle base portion 34 a that is raised about 45 degrees upward from the base portion 32 a of the base cloth pressing portion 32, and the handle base portion 34 a. The grip portion 34b extends upward about 10 degrees from the upper end of the grip portion 34b.

A cutout portion 50 for accommodating the lever portion 36b when the pressing portion 36c is in the clamping and holding position is formed in a portion of the handle base portion 34a that is approximately three-fourths from the lower end on the upper side. There is. Further, above the boundary between the handle base portion 34a and the grip portion 34b, there is provided a finger hook concave portion 52 for hanging a thumb when the grip portion 34b is gripped and used. The lever portion 36b can be operated almost by the hand while holding the handle portion 34. 54 is a through hole for suspension.

When the lever portion 36b is operated to be directed to the side and the pressing portion 36c is positioned at the holding release position, the movable holding portion 42 is urged upward and regulated by the lower surface of the rotating plate portion 36a. Keep in / out position. (If there is no such regulation, the movable holding portion 42 will be in a state of being slanted forward and upward.)

After inserting the inserting portion 38 into the inserted portion 18 of the mop rag 10 to position the held portion 24 between the movable holding portion 42 and the fixed holding portion 46, the lever portion 36 b is operated. When the pressing portion 36c is moved to the holding position by being housed in the notch 50 on the upper side of the handle base 34a, the movable holding portion 42 is moved to the holding position by being pressed by the pressing portion 36c, and the holding protrusion thereof. The sandwiched portion 24 of the mop rag 10 is sandwiched between the portion 44 and the fixed sandwiching portion 46.

The moving direction of the pressing portion 36c from the holding and holding position to the holding and releasing position is the direction toward the front of the paper surface in FIG. 1, and the moving and holding portion 42 is the moving direction from the holding position to the in-and-out position. It is almost orthogonal to the upper part. Therefore, the pressing portion 36c moves from the nipping and holding position even when a force to release the nipping of the movable nipping portion 42 during use of the mop, that is, a force to move the nipping movable portion 42 upward is applied. Not really. Therefore, the mop rag 10 can be held very surely and easily.

When the lever portion 36b is operated again to move the pressing portion 36c to the clamping release position, the movable clamping portion 42 swings upward and returns to the in / out position, so that the insertion portion 38 is moved to the mop rag 10. It is possible to easily remove the mop rag 10 by pulling it out from the inserted portion 18 of the above.

Clamping and release thereof by operating the lever portion 36b can be performed with a light force in combination with the use of the lever principle, and the problem of parts replacement due to wear does not occur. Moreover, since the sandwiched portion 24 of the mop rag 10 is sandwiched by the pressing of the movable sandwiching portion 42 by the pressing portion 36c, the double portion is formed at the opening edge of the inserted portion forming cloth 20 of the mop rag 10. It is not always necessary to provide 22 and the reliability of holding is not deteriorated by repeatedly attaching and detaching the mop rag 10.

Since the pressing portion 36c is projected from both sides so as to bulge smoothly downward, the pressing and releasing of the movable holding portion 42 by it is performed very smoothly.

When the pressing portion 36c is located at the holding position and the mop rag 10 is held, the lever portion 36b is housed in the cutout portion 50 (along the grip portion 34). It is avoided as much as possible that the lever portion 36b accidentally hits an object during use and the pinched state is released.

The vertical positional relationship in the above description of the embodiments is merely for convenience of description based on the drawings, and does not limit the actual usage state or the like.

[Effect of device]

 In the mop rag holder according to claim 1 and the mop according to claim 3, the pressing part is located at the pinch release position, and the insertion part is inserted into the inserted part of the mop rag so that the pinched part becomes the movable gripping part. The mop rag can be easily held by the mop rag holder by moving the pressing part to the nipping and holding position after positioning it between the fixed nipping part and the pressing part to the nipping release position. The mop rag can be easily removed by moving it. Since the sandwiched part is sandwiched by the pressing of the movable sandwiching part by the pressing part, it is not always necessary to form a thick part near the sandwiched part of the mop rag, but by repeatedly attaching and detaching the mop rag. It rarely compromises retention certainty.

In addition, since the pressing portion does not move from the holding position when the movable holding portion receives a force that attempts to release the holding of the movable holding portion during use, the holding position of the holding portion, that is, It is possible to reliably hold the mop cloth. Since the gripping by the movable gripping part is not maintained by the unreasonable elastic deformation that causes wear, it does not require the force necessary to cause such elastic deformation, and the gripping is relatively light. Also, the problem can be avoided, and the problem of replacing parts of the mop cloth holding device due to wear can be avoided.

In the mop rag holder according to claim 2 and the mop according to claim 4, when the pressing part is located at the holding position and the mop rag is held by the mop rag holder, the pressing part is rotated. Since the lever part is along the handle part, the inconvenience that the lever part accidentally hits an object and the sandwiched part is released while cleaning is performed using a mop is prevented, and it is more reliable. It can hold a mop rag.
