Abstract

PURPOSE:To apparently increase the thickness of a wipe sheet without increasing the substantial thickness thereof, so as to enhance the workability and the dust collection efficiency during cleaning, by forming pleats in a planer sheet material so as to increase the thickness of the sheet during use. CONSTITUTION:A wipe sheet 1 is made of a planer thin sheet material 2 formed therein with pleats 3, 3 in order to apparently increase the thickness of the sheet 1. Pleats 3 are formed symmetrically left and right, excepting parts thereof as attaching parts where opposite sides of the wipe sheet 1 are attached to a mop 3, each of the pleats 3 is held in a folded condition by a seal part 4 formed by thermoprssing, adhesive or the like. The apparent thickness of the wipe sheet 1 can be increased by increasing the number of folds thereof. Further, the superposition of the pleats 3 can be adjusted by the depth of folding of the pleats 3.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wiping sheet used for a cleaning mop.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a mop used for cleaning furniture, ornaments, floors, etc., a type in which a disposable wiping sheet made of paper, non-woven fabric or the like is attached and used, is known. The wiping sheet is wound around the sheet mounting head at the tip of the handle bar, and the sheet is lightly pressed against the portion to be cleaned for cleaning.

However, since the above-mentioned wiping sheet used for such a mop is generally formed to be very thin, a rough and hard feeling when the head hits the portion to be cleaned is directly transmitted to the hand and used. Not only is it unpleasant to feel, but it is also difficult to contact the part to be cleaned over a wide area in a flexible manner, so that the adhesion of dust is also poor and the workability during cleaning and the dusting efficiency are poor. Although such a problem can be solved by increasing the thickness of the wiping sheet, considering that the wiping sheet is disposable, thickening the wiping sheet leads to waste of resources, which is not preferable.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to increase workability during cleaning and dusting efficiency by increasing the apparent thickness without increasing the substantial thickness of the wiping sheet. is there.

[0005]

In order to solve the above problems, the mop wiping sheet of the present invention comprises a flat sheet-like base material and pleats for increasing the thickness in use. It is a feature. In order to prevent the pleats from unraveling, it is desirable to fix the pleats at appropriate positions with a dot-shaped or linear seal portion.

[0006]

The wiping sheet having the above structure is mounted by winding it around the sheet mounting head of the mop, and is pressed against the portion to be cleaned for cleaning. At this time, since the apparent thickness of the wiping sheet is increased due to the formation of the pleats, the elasticity of the wiping sheet is increased, and the rugged feeling when hitting the site to be cleaned is not directly transmitted to the hand, and the usability is improved. Not only is it good, but the contact with the part to be cleaned is also good and the adhesion of dust is improved.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The wiping sheet 1 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 has an apparent appearance on a thin paper base material 2 in the form of a flat sheet. It has pleats 3, 3 ... for increasing the thickness.

The pleats 3 except for the portions to be the attachment portions 1a when they are attached to the mops at both ends of the wiping sheet 1.
The pleats 3 are formed so as to be substantially bilaterally symmetric, and in order to prevent the wiping sheet 1 from being stretched by unnecessarily loosening the pleats 3, the pleats 3 are appropriately positioned at a suitable position by means such as heat pressure contact or an adhesive. The formed seal portion 4 secures the folded state. The seal portion 4 is not limited to a dot shape, and may be a linear shape or a linear shape.
As shown in FIG. 3, a long linear shape that extends over all pleats 3 or a short linear shape that extends over a few pleats 3 as shown in FIG. 4 may be used, and the form thereof is arbitrary.

The apparent thickness of the wiping sheet 1 varies depending on the overlap of the pleats 3. By increasing the overlap, the apparent thickness can be increased correspondingly. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the overlap of the pleats 3 can be adjusted by the folding depth of the pleats 3, that is, the width B of the folded portion 3b. For example, the width B of the folded portion 3b is the main component. Width A of part 3a
If the width is smaller than 1/2, the wiping sheet 1 is in a state in which the base material 2 is overlapped three-fold at the position of the folded back portion 3b, and the width B of the folded back portion 3b is 1 / the width of the main body portion 3a. Two
When the width is made wider, the wiping sheet 1 is partially overlapped with the base material 2 by five or more at the position of the folded portion 3b.

Here, in the wiping sheet 1, as compared with the case where the pleat is not provided, the area of the base material 2 is increased by the amount of the pleat 3 and the amount of the fiber material used is increased. The apparent thickness of the wiping sheet 1 when the base material 2 is folded in three layers by the pleats 3 is large in consideration of the bulkiness at the fold position and the gaps between the overlapping portions. Since the thickness is greater than when the thickness is tripled as a whole, it is possible to efficiently form the wiping sheet 1 having the same thickness by using less fibrous material as compared with the case where the thickness of the base material 2 is simply increased. it can.

The wiping sheet 1 having the above structure is attached to a mop and used for cleaning furniture, ornaments, floors and the like. Figure 6
7 shows an example of a mop to which the wiping sheet 1 is attached. In this mop, the sheet attaching head 10 at the tip of the handle rod 11 is a horizontally long and short column made of a soft material such as synthetic rubber or synthetic resin. Mounting portions 1a, 1 which are formed to have a vertically long cross-sectional shape and are not provided with pleats 3 at both ends of the wiping sheet 1 wrapped around the head 10.
a is pushed into the concave groove 13 on the upper surface of the head 10,
It is held in the groove 13 by a suitable fastening means 12 that is press-fitted in the groove 13. The fastening means 12 shown is
The base end portion is composed of a pair of left and right arms rotatably supported by the handle rod 11, and the fastening means 12 is pivoted upward from the state shown in the drawing to escape from the groove 13.
The wiping sheet 1 can be removed. The seat mounting head 10 may be hollow or non-hollow.

FIGS. 8 and 9 show another example of the mop to which the wiping sheet 1 is attached. This mop includes a flat sheet-like head 20 for attaching a sheet, which is made of a soft material such as synthetic rubber or synthetic resin. The wiping sheet 1 is wound around the sheet mounting head 20, and the pleats 3 are provided on both ends of the wiping sheet 1. No mounting part 1
a and 1a are fixed to both sides of the upper surface of the head 20 by appropriate fastening means 22 including a sandwiching member, a pin, and the like.

Thus, the mop to which the wiping sheet 1 is attached is one in which dust is wiped off with the wiping sheet 1 while lightly pressing the wiping sheet 1 against the site to be cleaned and reciprocating with a light touch such as sweeping with a broom. At this time, since the apparent thickness of the wiping sheet 1 is increased due to the formation of the pleats 3, the elasticity of the wiping sheet 1 is increased, and the fact that the sheet mounting heads 10 and 20 have elasticity is combined. Therefore, not only does the rough feeling when the wiping sheet 1 comes into contact with the portion to be cleaned not directly transmitted to the hand, but the usability is good, and the contactability of the wiping sheet 1 to the portion to be cleaned is good. As a result, a suitable sliding resistance is imparted, so that the adhesion force of dust is increased and the workability during cleaning is significantly improved.

When the wiping sheet 1 is attached to the sheet mounting heads 10 and 20, the wiping sheet 1 is fixed to the heads 10 and 20 by utilizing the thin mounting portions 1a and 1a without the pleats 3. The mounting parts 1a, 1
Whether a is bent, pushed into the groove 13, or locked to a pin, it is easy to handle and can be easily attached and detached.

The wiping sheet 1 can be impregnated with a dusting agent, and the wiping sheet 1 is formed so that both front and back surfaces can be used, and a large amount of dust adheres to the wiping sheet 1 to improve its cleaning ability. If it is used by reversing the front and back when it decreases, the use efficiency becomes higher.

In the above embodiment, the pleat 3 is formed on the wiping sheet 1 so as to be bilaterally symmetrical, but it may be bilaterally asymmetrical, or as shown in FIG. It can also be formed toward. Further, the wiping sheet 1 can be formed of a cloth such as a thin non-woven fabric or a woven fabric other than paper, and its planar shape is not limited to a rectangular shape, and is formed in an appropriate shape such as a trapezoid or an ellipse according to a mop. You can also do it.

[0017]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the apparent thickness of the wiping sheet is increased by forming the pleats, the elasticity of the wiping sheet is increased, and when the wiping sheet hits the portion to be cleaned during cleaning. Not only does the rough feeling not be transmitted directly to the hand, it not only gives a good feeling of use, but also has good contact with the part to be cleaned and an appropriate amount of sliding resistance is given, increasing the adhesion force of dust. , The workability during cleaning is significantly improved. Moreover, since the apparent thickness can be increased without substantially increasing the thickness of the wiping sheet, the amount of the fiber material used is small, which is very efficient and economical.
