Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a card cleaner for removing fingerprints, oil, dust and the like adhering to the recording surface of a card-shaped information recording medium.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a card cleaner for wiping off fingerprints, oil, dust, etc. adhering to the recording surface of a card-shaped information recording medium with a cleaning pad is mounted on the cleaner base 1 as shown in FIG. A placing section 2 and a cleaning pad placing section 3 are provided, a card C as a recording medium is placed on the recording medium placing section 2, and a cleaning pad 4 is placed on the cleaning pad placing section 3. Things are known.

[0003]

However, in the above card cleaner, since the cleaning pad 4 is only placed in the recess 3a provided in the cleaning pad mounting portion 3, when carrying the card cleaner, There is a drawback that the cleaning pad 4 falls from the cleaning pad mounting portion 3 and dust adheres to the surface of the pad body 5, thereby reducing the cleaning effect.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks and to provide a card cleaner in which the cleaning pad does not drop from the cleaner table even when carried.

[0005]

A card cleaner according to the present invention for achieving the above object comprises a cleaner base for removing dust and the like adhering to the medium surface of a card-shaped information recording medium, and a cleaning pad. In this card cleaner, the cleaning pad is attachable to and detachable from the cleaner base.

[0006]

The card cleaner having the above-mentioned structure fixes the cleaning pad to the cleaner base when carrying the card cleaner.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in FIGS. FIG. 1 is a partially cutaway measurement view of the first embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a plan view. The cleaner base 11 is long in the left and right, a card mounting portion 12 for mounting a card C, which is a card-shaped information recording medium, is provided at a substantially central portion thereof, and a cleaning pad 13 is detachably mounted on the right side. A section 14 is provided.

On the surface of the cleaner table 11, the frame 1 is slightly lower than the thickness of the card C in order to regulate the position of the card C.
5 is provided so that the surface of the placed card C is located at a position higher than the upper end of the frame 15, and the corners of the frame 15 have a gap between the card C and a fingertip. ing.

The cleaning pad mounting portion 14 is disc-shaped, and a double frame 16 is provided at the peripheral edge thereof so as to be continuous at the upper end. The portions of the frame 16 facing in the diametrical direction are shown in FIGS. As shown in the drawing, an insertion hole 17 for a locking claw described later is provided on the upper surface of the projection 16a.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5, the cleaning pad 13 is composed of a circular pad body 18 and a grip portion 19 formed of a plate-like member above the pad body 18. Grip 1
Reference numeral 9 has a raised portion 19a for gripping formed in the diameter direction of the pad body 18, and the raised portion 19a is provided on the periphery of the gripping portion 19.
As shown in FIG. 6, a part of the peripheral edge of the grip portion 19 is extended downward and bent outward at the positions of both ends of the U-shaped locking portion 20a. A claw 20 is provided.

The cleaner base 11 thus constructed is
When carrying this, the locking claw 20 of the cleaning pad 13 is inserted into the insertion hole 17 of the cleaning pad mounting portion 14.
Insert from. Then, the locking claw 20 is deformed inwardly, and the elastic force of the locking claw 20 locks the insertion hole 17 so that the cleaning pad 13 does not drop accidentally. When cleaning the card C, the locking claw 20 is pulled out from the insertion hole 17 and the upper surface of the card C is cleaned by the pad body 18.

FIGS. 7 and 8 show a second embodiment of the first embodiment.
The U-shaped locking claw 20 in the above embodiment is an L-shaped locking claw 21, and the locking claw 21 can be formed easily and the cost can be reduced. In this case, it is needless to say that the cleaning pad mounting portion 14 needs to be provided with an insertion hole or the like for locking the locking claw 21.

FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 show a third embodiment of the first embodiment.
Instead of the U-shaped locking claw 20 in the above embodiment, a spherical projection 22 is provided at the lower end of the peripheral edge of the cleaning pad 13 so that it is difficult to disengage even with shaking vibration. Also in this case, it is necessary to provide the cleaning pad mounting portion 14 with holes or the like corresponding to the protrusions 22.

FIG. 11 shows a fourth embodiment. A male screw 23 is provided on the outer peripheral lower end of the grip portion 19 of the cleaning pad 13, and a female screw 24 is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the frame 16 of the cleaning pad mounting portion 14. ing.

The cleaner base 11 thus constructed is
Male screw 2 of cleaning pad 13 for long-term storage, etc.
3 is screwed into the female screw 24 of the cleaning pad mounting portion 14 so that there is no gap between the cleaning pad 13 and the cleaning pad mounting portion 14 and dust or the like does not adhere to the cleaner base 11 even after being left for a long time. Further, the cleaning pad 13 is attached to the cleaning pad mounting portion 1
No need to worry about dropping because it can be securely attached to 4.

[0016]

As described above, in the card cleaner according to the present invention, the cleaning pad can be attached to and detached from the cleaner base. Therefore, when carrying the card cleaner, the cleaning pad is attached to the cleaner base and the cleaning pad is dropped. Prevents dust from adhering to the pad surface due to and facilitates portability.
