Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a cleaning pad storage container that can supply one cylindrical cleaning pad for cleaning the inner surface of a toilet bowl, etc., and also allows the cleaning pad grip to be propped up. The present invention relates to a cleaning pad storage container configured to allow cleaning.

The present applicant has previously disclosed a cleaning pad in which short fibers such as crushed pulp are solidified into a cylindrical shape or formed into a sheet and then rolled into a cylindrical shape.

Normally, this cleaning pad is relatively hard and maintains a cylindrical shape, but when soaked in water, it swells and becomes soft, allowing it to clean the inside of toilet bowls and the like without damaging them.

Also, after cleaning, the short fibers can be thrown into the toilet bowl to break up the short fibers.

It has excellent water dispersibility, can be flushed down the drain with flushing water, and does not clog the toilet bowl.

However, as a matter of course, this cleaning pad cannot be held by hand, but must be held with a gripper and cleaned using the gripper.

The tip of the gripping tool naturally comes into contact with dirty water, so it cannot be touched by hand, and when gripping a cleaning pad, a container is required to supply the cleaning pads one by one.

The present invention provides a cleaning pad storage container that can reliably supply cleaning pads one by one.

Hereinafter, details of the present invention will be explained along with embodiments shown in the drawings.

In the figure, the container, which is designated as a whole by reference numeral 1, is integrally molded from synthetic resin or the like, and is formed into a hollow housing shape with an open bottom end.

This container 1 has a truncated pyramid shape toward the top, and a deep recess 2 with an open front is formed in the center of the top.

As is clear from the sectional view of FIG. 3, the rear wall 3 of this recess 2 extends vertically to the vicinity of the lower end of the container.
A support stand 4 is provided protruding upward on the bottom surface and near the rear wall 3.

As is clear from the cross-sectional view of FIG. 3, the support stand 4 is formed into a rectangular square tube shape, and the rear wall 5 is formed parallel to and perpendicular to the rear wall 3 with a predetermined height. and
A predetermined distance is maintained between the rear walls 3 and 5, and both rear walls 3 and 5 are spaced apart from each other.
, 5 are connected by a bottom plate 6.

Further, as is clear from the cross-sectional view of FIG. 4, the left and right side walls 7, 7 of the support base 4 are vertically formed similarly to the left and right side walls 8, 8 of the recess 2, and there is a predetermined interval between them. is maintained,
The lower ends of both side walls 7 and 8 are connected by a bottom plate 9.

On the other hand, the front wall 10 of the support base 4 is parallel to the rear wall 5, but its height is low, and the upper end of the front wall 10 and the upper end of the rear wall 5 form an inclined slope toward the front wall 10. It is closed by a top plate 11.

A groove 12 is formed in the front of the front wall 10, and this groove 1
The bottom plate 13 of No. 2 is on the same plane as the bottom plates 6 and 9.

The front wall 14 of this groove 12 is parallel to the front wall 10, but
Its height is lower than the front wall 10, and the curved part 15 has a circular arc shape.
The bottom plate 16 from the curved part 15 forms a flat slope 17 that rises toward the front of the container 1, and the height of the upper end thereof to the top of the container 1 is S'2.
At a position of about /3, it continues to the arc-shaped curved part 18 and continues to the slope 19 forming the front wall of the container 1.

This slope 19 is located at a position recessed deeper than the slope 20 on the front surface of the container 1.

The lower end of the central portion of the slope 20 is a partition wall 20a rising to a predetermined height.

On both open side walls of the recess 2 on the front surface of the container 1, a guide wall 20 is provided, which is continuous from the inner edge of the upper end of the partition wall 20a and whose front end is recessed one step from the slope 20.
b, 20b are provided to protrude inwardly with a predetermined thickness.

The upper ends of the guide walls 20b, 20b form a horizontal part 20c at a position lower than the upper end of the container 1, and this horizontal part 20C extends from the position beyond the curved part 18 at the top of the bottom plate 16 to the bottom plate 1.
6 and continues as a protrusion 21 that is one step higher than the bottom plate 16, and its terminal end 21a is connected to the groove 12.
It ends flush with the front wall 14 of the.

The curved portion 1 is located near the support base 4 side of the protrusion 21.
A curved portion 22 is formed corresponding to the cleaning pad 5, and the curvature of this curved portion 22 is the same as the curvature of the cleaning pad.

On the other hand, the guide wall 20b, the slope 19 and the partition wall 2
The space formed from 0a serves as a lower insertion space for a gripping tool having the structure and function described below.

On the other hand, numeral 23 denotes a package for housing the cleaning pad, which is formed from cardboard or the like as a flat rectangular housing, and its thickness is the same as the diameter of the cleaning pad.

In this package 23, a plurality of cylindrical cleaning pads 24 are housed horizontally in vertical rows.

At the lower end of the package 23, a rectangular opening 25 having the same shape as the cross-sectional shape of the support base 4 can be opened through a perforation. The structure is such that the opening 26 can be opened through the eye or the like.

The vertical width of this opening 26 is larger than the diameter of one cleaning pad 24 and smaller than the diameter of two cleaning pads 24.

Therefore, the package 23 can be fitted to the support 4 through the bottom opening 25, and when fitted, the lowest cleaning pad 24 is pushed outward from the opening 26 by the sloped top plate 11 of the support 4. It is pushed out and rides on the curved part 22 at the base of the protrusion 21.

However, since the protrusion 21 has a slope parallel to the slope 17 above the curved portion 22, the curved portion 22
It cannot rise upwards from the ground and remains on the curved portion 22.

In this state, the second cleaning pad 24 from the bottom is the third cleaning pad 24.
As it is clear in the figure, one end of it is slightly attached to the package 2
3, the lowermost cleaning pad 24 facing in the middle is in contact with the circumferential surface of the bottom cleaning pad 24 and the vicinity of the top of the upper plate 11 of the support base 4, and is restricted from descending, so the subsequent cleaning pads 24 are also restricted from descending. There is.

In other words, when the package 23 is fitted onto the support base 4, the lowermost cleaning pad 24 will necessarily roll onto the curved portion 22 of the protrusions 21, 21.

At this time, since the bottom plate 16 is one level lower than the protrusion 21, a gap for a step is created between the bottom plate 16 and the cleaning pad 24 at the lowest level.

By the way, what is shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 is a gripping tool,
The gripping tool 27 has an elongated handle shape as a whole, and a grip part 28 is formed at one end of the handle, and a handle part 2 having an arcuate cross section extends from the grip part 28 to the tip.
9 in a row.

A fixed claw 30 curved inward is formed at the tip of the handle 29, and a rotary claw 3 is formed in a state facing the fixed claw 30.
1 is rotatably supported on a shaft.

The rotating pawl 31 is rotatably supported on both side walls of the handle 29 via a protrusion 32 provided on a part thereof, and one end of a rod 33 is rotatably supported on the base thereof. There is.

The rod 33 is made of steel wire or the like, and has a handle 29 with an arcuate cross section.
The other end slidably penetrates a support plate 34 provided across the base of the handle 29 .

A rod is attached to a protruding piece 37 that protrudes inward from the shaft 35 of a trigger-like operation lever 36, which is rotatably attached at one end via a shaft 35 near the grip 28 side that is the base of the handle 29. The other end of 33 is rotatably supported.

A coil spring 38 is elastically mounted between the support plate 34 and the projecting piece 37 while being loosely fitted onto the rod 33.

Therefore, when no force is applied to the operating lever 36, the operating lever 36 is moved as shown in FIG. 6 by the elastic force of the coil spring 38.
The rod 33 is rotated clockwise around the shaft 35, and the rod 33 is pulled rearward in the figure, so that the rotating claw 31 is rotated clockwise in the figure around the support shaft (not shown) of the protrusion 32. The tip of the rotary claw 31 approaches the fixed claw 30 side, bites into the side surface of the cleaning pad 24, and grips the center of the cleaning pad 24 from above and below.

Reference numerals 39 and 40 indicate guide plates, and reference numeral 41 indicates a reinforcing plate that also serves as a guide plate.

Since the present embodiment is constructed as described above, when in use, the tip of the gripping tool 27 is directed toward the bottom of the recess 2 of the container 1 and moved along the bottom plate 16 as shown by the chain line in FIG. The protrusions 21 and 2 are fed from the open part above the curved part 18.
The lowest cleaning pad 24 horizontally suspended on the curved part 22 of No. 1
When the rod 33 is held against the elastic force of the coil spring 38, the rod 33 is pressed so that the free end of the lever 36 is inserted into the inside of the handle 29. Because it is pushed forward, the rotary claw 31 rotates in the opening direction, opening the space between the fixed claw 30 and the rotating claw 31, so that the cleaning pad 24 is exposed so as to sandwich a part of its circumferential surface, and is operated. When the lever 36 is released, the rod 33 is pulled by the elastic force of the coil spring 38, the rotating claw 31 and the fixed claw 30 approach each other, and the circumferential surface of the cleaning pad 24 is sandwiched between them over a predetermined angular range. If the gripping tool 27 is pulled out from the recess 2 in this state, the cleaning pad 24 can be pulled out of the container 1 while being held.

When the lowest cleaning pad 24 is grabbed and pulled out in this way, the next highest cleaning pad 24 is pulled out from the opening 26 along the slope of the upper plate 11, which is inclined due to the weight from above. It rolls out onto the curved portion 22.

Thereafter, the cleaning pads 24 can be taken out one after another in the same manner without using hands.

After the cleaning operation using the gripping tool 27 through the cleaning pad 24 is completed, the tip of the gripping tool 27 is turned downward, and as shown in FIG. When inserted into the enclosed space, the gripping tool 27 is propped up in an inclined state along the slope 19,
Never fall down.

Further, since the gripping tool 27 and the cleaning pad storage container 1 are always integrated, the cleaning operation is easy to perform and is sanitary.

As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, cleaning pads can be supplied one by one by simply attaching the package, and the gripping tool can also be propped up, giving it a good appearance and making it easy to use in the toilet. It can also be placed in a corner and has excellent hygienic effects.
