【Example】

Example 1 As shown in FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 in the drawing is a wiping tool of Example 1. Reference numeral 2 is a water-retaining material layer formed in an oval shape having a large thickness and uses a sponge as a material. Reference numeral 3 is a waterproof material layer that covers the upper surface of the water retention material layer 2, and the material is a vinyl chloride sheet. Then, the water retaining material layer 2 and the waterproof material layer 3 are overlapped with each other, and the edge portions thereof are welded at high frequency (hereinafter, simply referred to as “welding”). Reference numeral 4 denotes a vinyl chloride strip (an example of a holding means), one end of which is welded to the middle of one long side of the waterproof material layer 3 and the other end of which is welded to the middle of the other long side. ing.

A case of waxing the vehicle body of the automobile using the wiping tool 1 having the above structure will be described. First, the hand is inserted between the waterproof material layer 3 and the band 4 so that the back of the hand contacts the band 4. As a result, the palm is held in contact with the waterproof material layer 3.

Next, a wax agent is applied to the lower surface of the water retaining material layer 3 formed of a flexible sponge. Then, the wax agent attached to the water retaining material layer 2 is evenly applied to the vehicle body.

In this process, the wax agent is absorbed in the water retaining material layer 2. The absorbed water or the wax agent oozes out onto the surface of the water retaining material layer 2. However, since the waterproof material layer 3 with which the hand is in contact is waterproof, the wax agent does not seep to the surface thereof. Moreover, since the strip 4 is held in the hand with the waterproof material layer 3 interposed, the water retaining material layer 2 can be rubbed against the vehicle body without gripping the water retaining material layer 2.
That is, since waxing can be performed without directly touching the water retaining material layer 2, it is possible to prevent the wax agent from adhering to the hand and comfortably perform waxing.

Embodiment 2 As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, reference numeral 5 in the drawings is a wiping tool according to Embodiment 2. Reference numeral 7 denotes a water retaining material layer, which is a hand-shaped sponge having a large thickness. Reference numeral 6b is a waterproof material layer provided on the upper surface of the water retention material layer 7, which is formed of a vinyl chloride sheet. Reference numeral 6a denotes a hand covering member formed of a vinyl chloride sheet, which is a portion provided on the upper surface of the waterproof material layer 6b and covering the hand 10 that is in contact with the waterproof material layer 6b. Further, reference numeral 8 is a water receiver. The water receiving portion 8 is formed by winding one long side of the waterproof strip-shaped cloth around a portion of the wiping tool 5 covering the wrist and welding it, and further folding back the other long side toward the tip of the wiping tool 5. It is formed by. In addition, while the edge portions of the water retaining material layer 7 and the waterproof material layer 6b are welded,
The edge portion between the waterproof material layer 6b and the hand covering member 6a is also welded except the insertion opening portion for inserting the hand 10.

A case where the vehicle body of an automobile is washed with water by using the wiping tool 5 having the above-described structure will be described. First, the hand 10 is inserted between the waterproof material layer 6b and the hand covering member 6a through the insertion opening.
As a result, the palm is brought into contact with the waterproof material layer 6b, and the back of the hand 10 is held by the wiping tool 5 while being covered with the hand covering member 6a.

When water is applied while rubbing the lower surface of the water retaining material layer 7 against the vehicle body, the lower surface of the water retaining material layer 7 made of a flexible sponge removes dirt on the vehicle body although it does not contain water. But,
Since the waterproof material layer 6b provided on one side surface of the water retaining material layer 7 is waterproof, the water contained in the water retaining material layer 7 does not seep out to the surface of the waterproof material layer 6b.

Further, since the entire hand is covered with the hand cover member 6a, it is possible to prevent the hand 10 from being splashed with water during washing with water. That is, since the water retention material layer 7 can be washed with water without directly touching it, the water can be comfortably washed even in cold winter. In addition, the water receiving portion 8 formed in the portion covering the wrist has a groove 8a formed by being folded back. Since the groove 8a opens toward the tip of the wiping device 5, even if the water droplets adhering to the hand covering member 6a flow along the hand covering member 6a in the direction of the wrist, the water droplets will not be discharged. It is possible to prevent the wrist from getting wet in the inside of 8a and wash the water more comfortably.

Further, the water retention material layers 2 and 7 of Examples 1 and 2 are used.
Since the waterproof material layers 3 and 6b are provided on the entire upper surface of the water retaining material layers 2 and 7, for example, even if a force that cannot maintain the shape of the water retaining material layers 2 and 7 is applied, the upper surfaces of the water retaining material layers 2 and 7 are The waterproof material layers 3 and 6b covering the whole maintain the shape of the water retention material layers 2 and 7. As a result, the life of the sponge is longer than that of the sponge alone, and the sponge can be used for a long time.

The water-retaining material layers 2 and 7 of the wiping tools 1 and 5 having the above-described construction are formed in a thick oval shape or a palm shape, but the shape is not limited to the above-mentioned shape, and a short cylindrical shape or a rectangular parallelepiped shape. It may be a shape. Further, although the holding means is formed by the band 4 and the hand covering member 6a in the first and second embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above-described configuration as long as the hand 10 is held by the waterproof material layers 3 and 6a. It goes without saying that the waterproof material layers 3 and 6b may be provided with finger cover portions that cover the finger portions of the hand 10. Further, although the wiping tools 1 and 5 are used for cleaning the vehicle body, the objects to be cleaned are not limited to the vehicle body. For example, household products such as bath water washing, floor waxing, bowls, cups, etc. Of course, it may be used for washing with water.

[0017]

According to the wiping tool having the above construction, when the wiping tool is washed with water or waxed, water or a wax agent is absorbed in the water retaining material layer. The absorbed water or the wax agent exudes to the surface of the water retaining material layer.
However, since the waterproof material layer with which the hand is in contact is waterproof, water or the wax agent does not seep to the surface thereof. In addition, since the holding means holds the water retaining material layer with the waterproof material layer interposed, the water retaining material layer can be rubbed against the vehicle body without gripping the water retaining material layer. That is, since water can be washed or waxed without directly touching the water retaining material layer, the water absorbed in the water retaining material layer, or
You can comfortably wash with water or wax without the wax agent sticking to your hands.
