しかしながら、洗浄体は柔軟であるため、屈曲された洗浄体をユーザが把持し難いことがあり、また、被洗浄部に擦りつけられた洗浄体の屈曲部が不必要に変形し、この結果、被洗浄部の汚れを洗浄し難いことがあるという問題があった。更に、屈曲された洗浄体は容易に元の形状に戻るため、洗浄体を屈曲された状態に維持することができないという問題もあった。   However, since the cleaning body is flexible, it may be difficult for the user to grip the bent cleaning body, and the bent portion of the cleaning body rubbed against the portion to be cleaned is unnecessarily deformed. There was a problem that it was difficult to clean the dirt of the parts to be cleaned. Further, since the bent cleaning body easily returns to the original shape, there is a problem that the cleaning body cannot be maintained in the bent state.

本発明は斯かる問題を解決するためになされたものであり、屈曲された洗浄体の内側に配される芯板、及び屈曲された洗浄体を芯板との間で挟持する挟持体を備える保持体で洗浄体を保持する構成とすることにより、ユーザが把持し易く、洗浄体を固定して、屈曲された状態に維持することができ、屈曲部の不要な変形を抑制することができる洗浄具を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and includes a core plate disposed inside the bent cleaning body, and a sandwiching body that holds the bent cleaning body between the core plate and the core plate. By adopting a configuration in which the cleaning body is held by the holding body, the user can easily hold the cleaning body, the cleaning body can be fixed and maintained in a bent state, and unnecessary deformation of the bent portion can be suppressed. The purpose is to provide a cleaning tool.

本発明の他の目的は、挟持体が、2本の板状腕部が連結されてなる可撓部材であり、芯板が、対向する板状腕部の間に挿脱可能に配されて挟持体に挟持される構成とすることにより、ユーザが更に把持し易く、洗浄体及び芯板を固定することができ、また、容易に製造することができる洗浄具を提供することにある。   Another object of the present invention is that the sandwiching body is a flexible member in which two plate-like arm portions are connected, and the core plate is detachably disposed between the opposing plate-like arm portions. By adopting a structure that is sandwiched between the sandwiching bodies, it is an object of the present invention to provide a cleaning tool that can be easily gripped by the user, can fix the cleaning body and the core plate, and can be easily manufactured.

本発明の更に他の目的は、芯板にスクレーパを有することにより、擦って洗浄するだけでなく、掻き取って清掃することもできる洗浄具を提供することにある。   Still another object of the present invention is to provide a cleaning tool that has a scraper on a core plate, and can be cleaned not only by rubbing but also by scraping.

第1発明に係る洗浄具は、被洗浄部を擦って洗浄する板状の洗浄体と、該洗浄体を保持する保持体とを備える洗浄具において、前記洗浄体は前記保持体よりも柔軟で屈曲可能であり、屈曲された状態で前記保持体に保持され、前記保持体は、屈曲された前記洗浄体の屈曲部内面にその端部を当接する芯板、及び屈曲された前記洗浄体を前記芯板の両面との間で挟持する挟持体を備えることを特徴とする。   A cleaning tool according to a first aspect of the present invention is a cleaning tool including a plate-shaped cleaning body that rubs and cleans a portion to be cleaned, and a holding body that holds the cleaning body. The cleaning body is more flexible than the holding body. It is bendable and is held by the holding body in a bent state, and the holding body includes a core plate that abuts an end portion of the bent cleaning portion on the inner surface of the bent portion, and the bent cleaning body. A sandwiching body sandwiching between both sides of the core plate is provided.

第2発明に係る洗浄具は、前記芯板及び前記挟持体の少なくとも一方は、前記洗浄体に食い込む突起部を有することを特徴とする。   The cleaning tool according to a second aspect of the present invention is characterized in that at least one of the core plate and the sandwiching body has a protrusion that bites into the cleaning body.

第3発明に係る洗浄具は、前記挟持体は、2本の板状腕部夫々の一面が対向するように前記板状腕部夫々の基端が連結されている可撓部材であり、前記芯板は、対向する前記板状腕部の間に挿脱可能に配され、前記芯板の中央部に前記板状腕部によって挟持される凸部を有することを特徴とする。   The cleaning tool according to a third aspect of the present invention is that the sandwiching body is a flexible member in which the base ends of the plate-like arm portions are connected so that one surface of each of the two plate-like arm portions faces each other. The core plate is detachably disposed between the plate-like arm portions facing each other, and has a convex portion sandwiched between the plate-like arm portions at a central portion of the core plate.

第4発明に係る洗浄具は、前記芯板は略四角形であり、前記洗浄体に当接する端部に連続する端部にスクレーパを有することを特徴とする。   The cleaning tool according to a fourth aspect of the invention is characterized in that the core plate has a substantially rectangular shape and has a scraper at an end continuous with an end contacting the cleaning body.

第1発明にあっては、洗浄体が板状であり、屈曲可能な柔軟性を有し、屈曲された洗浄体を保持体が保持する。保持体は芯板と挟持体とを備え、芯板は、芯板の端部が、屈曲された洗浄体の屈曲部内面に当接する。即ち、芯板の端部は、屈曲された洗浄体の内側に配され、屈曲された洗浄体の両端部は、芯板の両面に接近する。また、挟持体は、屈曲された洗浄体を、洗浄体の内側に配された芯板の両面との間で挟持する。つまり、洗浄体は、例えば洗浄体の両端部及び/又は両端部近傍が、挟持体で、並びに挟持体と芯板との間で固定される。   In the first aspect of the invention, the cleaning body is plate-like, has flexibility that can be bent, and the holding body holds the bent cleaning body. The holding body includes a core plate and a sandwiching body, and the end portion of the core plate abuts on the inner surface of the bent portion of the cleaning body that is bent. That is, the end portion of the core plate is arranged inside the bent cleaning body, and both end portions of the bent cleaning body approach both surfaces of the core plate. Further, the sandwiching body sandwiches the bent cleaning body between both surfaces of the core plate disposed inside the cleaning body. In other words, for example, both ends of the cleaning body and / or the vicinity of both ends of the cleaning body are fixed between the sandwiching body and the core plate.

以上のようにして、保持体は洗浄体を保持する。ユーザは、洗浄体を保持している保持体を把持して、その内側に芯板が配置された洗浄体の屈曲部で被洗浄部を擦って洗浄する。   As described above, the holding body holds the cleaning body. The user grasps the holding body holding the cleaning body, and rubs and cleans the portion to be cleaned with the bent portion of the cleaning body in which the core plate is disposed.

第2発明にあっては、芯板及び/又は挟持体に突起部を有する。この突起部が、挟持された洗浄体に食い込むため、芯板及び挟持体は、洗浄体を確実に固定する。   In the second invention, the core plate and / or the sandwiching body has the protrusions. Since this protrusion bites into the sandwiched cleaning body, the core plate and the sandwiching body securely fix the cleaning body.

第3発明にあっては、挟持体が可撓部材であり、この可撓部材は、2本の板状腕部夫々の一面が対向するように、板状腕部夫々の基端が連結されている。つまり、挟持体はU字状の可撓部材である。また、板状腕部の一方、屈曲された洗浄体の一端部、芯板、屈曲された洗浄体の他端部、及び板状腕部の他方が、この順に配される。   In the third invention, the sandwiching body is a flexible member, and the base end of each of the plate-like arm portions is connected so that one surface of each of the two plate-like arm portions faces each other. ing. That is, the sandwiching body is a U-shaped flexible member. Further, one of the plate-like arm portions, one end portion of the bent cleaning body, the core plate, the other end portion of the bent cleaning body, and the other of the plate-like arm portions are arranged in this order.

芯板は、対向する板状腕部の間に挿脱可能に配される。即ち、芯板と挟持体とは別体に設けられる。挟持体は、芯板の中央部に設けられている凸部と洗浄体とを板状腕部で挟持する。更に、挟持体は、屈曲された洗浄体の内側に配された芯板を板状腕部の間に対して挿脱する場合に、板状腕部をU字の外側に撓ませることによって挿脱を容易にする。更にまた、挟持体は、芯板の中央部に設けられている凸部と洗浄体とを挟持する場合に、板状腕部がU字の内側に撓もうとすることによって、洗浄体及び芯板を固定する。   The core plate is detachably disposed between the opposing plate-like arm portions. That is, the core plate and the sandwiching body are provided separately. A clamping body clamps the convex part provided in the center part of a core board, and a washing body with a plate-shaped arm part. Further, the sandwiching body is inserted by bending the plate-like arm part outside the U-shape when the core plate disposed inside the bent cleaning body is inserted into and removed from the plate-like arm part. Easy removal. Furthermore, the sandwiching body has a structure in which the plate-like arm portion is bent to the inside of the U-shape when sandwiching the convex portion provided in the center portion of the core plate and the cleaning body. Fix the board.

第4発明にあっては、芯板が略四角形であり、芯板の端部にスクレーパ、即ち掻き板を有する。スクレーパを有する端部は、洗浄体に当接する端部ではなく、洗浄体に当接する端部に連続する端部であるため、屈曲された洗浄体の内側にスクレーパが配されることはない。   In the fourth invention, the core plate is substantially square, and has a scraper, that is, a scraper plate at the end of the core plate. Since the end portion having the scraper is not an end portion that contacts the cleaning body but an end portion that is continuous with the end portion that contacts the cleaning body, the scraper is not disposed inside the bent cleaning body.

第1発明の洗浄具によれば、屈曲された洗浄体を、洗浄体よりも硬質の保持体が保持することによって、屈曲された洗浄体が元の形状に戻ろうとする動きを阻止し、このため、柔軟な洗浄体を屈曲された状態に維持することができる。また、洗浄体を保持している保持体をユーザが把持することができ、このため、屈曲された洗浄体をユーザが把持し易くすることができる。更に、屈曲された洗浄体の内側に配置されている芯板の剛性によって、洗浄体の屈曲部で被洗浄部を擦る場合でも洗浄体の屈曲部が不必要に変形することを抑制することができる。以上の結果、本発明の洗浄具は、被洗浄部の汚れを洗浄し易い。   According to the cleaning tool of the first invention, the bent cleaning body is held by the holding body harder than the cleaning body, thereby preventing the bent cleaning body from returning to its original shape. Therefore, the flexible cleaning body can be maintained in a bent state. In addition, the user can hold the holding body holding the cleaning body, and thus the user can easily grip the bent cleaning body. Further, the rigidity of the core plate arranged inside the bent cleaning body can prevent the bent portion of the cleaning body from being unnecessarily deformed even when the cleaning target portion is rubbed with the bent portion of the cleaning body. it can. As a result of the above, the cleaning tool of the present invention easily cleans the soiled portion.

更にまた、洗浄体と保持体とが別体であり、また、洗浄体は保持体の挟持体と芯板とで挟持するため、洗浄体を保持体に対して容易に挿脱することができる。更に、洗浄体に汚れ、磨耗等の不具合が生じた場合に洗浄体を取り替えることによって洗浄具の洗浄能力を維持することができる。また、汚れて保持体から取り外された洗浄体は容易に洗濯することができる。更に、洗浄具は洗浄体を予め屈曲された状態に維持しておくことができるため、狭い面積、汚れが酷い部分等を洗浄する場合にも、いちいち洗浄体を屈曲させる必要がなく、このため、ユーザの利便性が向上されている。   Furthermore, since the cleaning body and the holding body are separate, and the cleaning body is sandwiched between the holding body and the core plate, the cleaning body can be easily inserted into and removed from the holding body. . Furthermore, the cleaning ability of the cleaning tool can be maintained by replacing the cleaning body when the cleaning body becomes defective such as dirt or wear. In addition, the cleaning body that is dirty and removed from the holding body can be easily washed. Further, since the cleaning tool can keep the cleaning body bent in advance, it is not necessary to bend the cleaning body one by one even when cleaning a narrow area, a part with severe dirt, etc. User convenience has been improved.

第2発明の洗浄具によれば、突起部が洗浄体に食い込むため、芯板及び挟持体は洗浄体を確実に固定する。この結果、保持体が、屈曲された洗浄体を確実に保持することができる。   According to the cleaning tool of the second aspect of the present invention, since the protrusion bites into the cleaning body, the core plate and the sandwiching body securely fix the cleaning body. As a result, the holding body can reliably hold the bent cleaning body.

第3発明の洗浄具によれば、挟持体がU字状の可撓部材であるため、挟持体、ひいては保持体は、ユーザが更に把持し易い。また、芯板と挟持体とは別体であるが、挟持体が芯板の凸部を挟持して、芯板を確実に固定することができ、このため、芯板のガタつき、ひいては芯板に当接する洗浄体のガタつきを抑制することができる。以上の結果、本発明の洗浄具は、被洗浄部の汚れを洗浄し易い。   According to the cleaning tool of the third aspect of the invention, since the sandwiching body is a U-shaped flexible member, the sandwiching body, and thus the holding body, is more easily gripped by the user. Although the core plate and the sandwiched body are separate bodies, the sandwiched body can sandwich the convex portion of the core plate and securely fix the core plate. The play of the cleaning body that comes into contact with the plate can be suppressed. As a result of the above, the cleaning tool of the present invention easily cleans the soiled portion.

更に、挟持体と芯板とが別体に形成されるため、挟持体及び芯板夫々を容易に製造することができる。   Furthermore, since the sandwiching body and the core plate are formed separately, the sandwiching body and the core plate can be easily manufactured.

更にまた、挟持体の対向する板状腕部の間に芯板を挿入して板状腕部で凸部を挟持することによって、保持体を構成することができる。また、屈曲された洗浄体の内側に配された芯板を板状腕部の間に対して挿脱する場合に、板状腕部がU字の外側に撓むため、挿脱が容易である。更に、板状腕部がU字の内側に撓んで洗浄体及び芯板を固定するため、これらを固定するために別の固定具を用いる必要がなく、保持体の構成が簡易である。以上の結果、ユーザにとって洗浄具の組み立て/解体が容易である。   Furthermore, the holding body can be configured by inserting a core plate between the opposing plate-like arm portions of the holding body and holding the convex portions by the plate-like arm portions. Further, when the core plate disposed inside the bent cleaning body is inserted into and removed from the plate-like arm portion, the plate-like arm portion bends outside the U-shape, so that the insertion and removal is easy. . Furthermore, since the plate-like arm portion is bent inward of the U-shape to fix the cleaning body and the core plate, it is not necessary to use another fixing tool to fix them, and the structure of the holding body is simple. As a result, the user can easily assemble / disassemble the cleaning tool.

第4発明の洗浄具によれば、芯板が有するスクレーパによって、洗浄体で擦って洗浄するだけでなく、被洗浄部にこびりついた汚れをも掻き取って清掃することができる。また、スクレーパが、洗浄体に当接する端部ではなく、洗浄体に当接する端部に連続する端部に設けられるため、スクレーパで汚れを掻き落とす場合に、いちいち洗浄体を芯板から取り外す必要がない等、本発明は優れた効果を奏する。   According to the cleaning tool of the fourth aspect of the present invention, the scraper of the core plate can be used not only for scrubbing and cleaning with the cleaning body, but also for scraping and cleaning the dirt stuck to the cleaned part. In addition, since the scraper is provided not at the end that contacts the cleaning body but at the end that continues to the end that contacts the cleaning body, it is necessary to remove the cleaning body from the core plate each time when scraping off dirt with the scraper. The present invention has an excellent effect, such as lack of.

以下、本発明を、その実施の形態を示す図面に基づいて詳述する。   Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings illustrating embodiments thereof.

図1は、本発明に係る洗浄具1をユーザが把持した状態を示す側面図であり、図2は、洗浄具1の構成を示す平面図である。洗浄具1は、図示しない被洗浄部を擦って洗浄する板状の洗浄体4と、屈曲された洗浄体4を保持する保持体5とを備える。洗浄体4は、不織布41と板状のスポンジ42とを接着してあり、保持体5よりも柔軟で、屈曲可能である。ユーザは、洗浄体4を保持している保持体5を片手で把持する。   FIG. 1 is a side view showing a state in which a user holds a cleaning tool 1 according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a plan view showing a configuration of the cleaning tool 1. The cleaning tool 1 includes a plate-shaped cleaning body 4 that rubs and cleans a portion to be cleaned (not shown), and a holding body 5 that holds the bent cleaning body 4. The cleaning body 4 has a non-woven fabric 41 and a plate-like sponge 42 bonded together, is softer than the holding body 5 and can be bent. The user holds the holding body 5 holding the cleaning body 4 with one hand.

保持体5は、側面視が下膨れのU字状であり、平面視が略四角形である挟持体2と、平面視が略四角形の芯板3とを備える。挟持体2のU字の腕部は板状腕部21,21であり、挟持体2は、2本の板状腕部21,21夫々の一面が対向するように板状腕部21,21夫々の基端が連結されている可撓部材である。芯板3は、屈曲された洗浄体4の屈曲部4b内面に芯板3の端部(具体的には、当接端部3a(図5参照))を当接しており、また、芯板3の両面夫々の中央部に、板状腕部21,21によって挟持される凸部32,32を有し、更に、板状腕部21,21間に挿脱可能に配してある。   The holding body 5 includes a sandwiching body 2 having a U-shape that swells downward in a side view and a substantially square shape in a plan view, and a core plate 3 that has a substantially square shape in a plan view. The U-shaped arm portions of the sandwiching body 2 are plate-like arm portions 21, 21, and the sandwiching body 2 has plate-like arm portions 21, 21 so that one surface of each of the two plate-like arm portions 21, 21 faces each other. It is a flexible member to which each base end is connected. The core plate 3 is in contact with the inner surface of the bent portion 4b of the bent cleaning body 4 at the end of the core plate 3 (specifically, the contact end portion 3a (see FIG. 5)). 3 has convex portions 32 and 32 sandwiched between the plate-like arm portions 21 and 21 at the center of each of both surfaces, and is further detachably disposed between the plate-like arm portions 21 and 21.

つまり、板状腕部21,21は、芯板3の両面側に配され、また、屈曲された洗浄体4の両端部4a,4a及び両端部4a,4a近傍を芯板3との間で挟持することによって屈曲された洗浄体4を固定し、更に、芯板3の凸部32,32を挟持することによって芯板3を固定する。   That is, the plate-like arm portions 21 and 21 are arranged on both sides of the core plate 3, and both the ends 4 a and 4 a of the bent cleaning body 4 and the vicinity of both ends 4 a and 4 a are between the core plate 3. The bent cleaning body 4 is fixed by clamping, and the core plate 3 is fixed by clamping the convex portions 32, 32 of the core plate 3.

各板状腕部21の挟持体2内面側には2個の突起部22,22が設けられ、芯板3には両面夫々に4個ずつの突起部31,31,…が設けられており、突起部22,31,…は、挟持している洗浄体4に食い込んで、洗浄体4を更に強固に固定する。   Two projections 22 and 22 are provided on the inner surface side of the sandwiching body 2 of each plate-like arm portion 21, and four projections 31, 31,... Are provided on both sides of the core plate 3. The protrusions 22, 31,... Bite into the sandwiched cleaning body 4 to fix the cleaning body 4 more firmly.

更にまた、芯板3は、側方端部(更に詳細には、洗浄体4に当接する当接端部3a(図5参照)に連続する端部)にスクレーパ33を有する。   Furthermore, the core plate 3 has a scraper 33 at a side end portion (more specifically, an end portion continuous with the contact end portion 3a (see FIG. 5) that contacts the cleaning body 4).

図3は、洗浄体4の構成を示す斜視図である。洗浄体4は、平面視が略長方形であり、長方形の短辺側の各端部4aの長さB4が約60mm、長辺側の各端部の長さが約90mmである。また、洗浄体4は、夫々の平面視が略同形状同面積の不織布41とスポンジ42とを積層してある。   FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the configuration of the cleaning body 4. The cleaning body 4 is substantially rectangular in plan view, and the length B4 of each end 4a on the short side of the rectangle is about 60 mm, and the length of each end on the long side is about 90 mm. The cleaning body 4 is formed by laminating a nonwoven fabric 41 and a sponge 42 having substantially the same shape and the same area in plan view.

スポンジ42は、厚さが約10mmの板状である。また、不織布41の一面には、長辺方向に並置され、その長手方向が短辺方向に沿う起毛列41a,41a,…が形成してある。各起毛列41aは約2mmの幅と約1mmの高さとを有し、一対の起毛列41a,41aが約1mm離間して並置され、一対の起毛列41a,41a同士が約4mm離間して規則的に並置されている。一方、不織布41の下面は起毛しておらず、起毛していない不織布41の下面とスポンジ42の一面とが接着してある。不織布41の厚さは、起毛列41aの高さを除いて約1mmである。   The sponge 42 has a plate shape with a thickness of about 10 mm. Further, on one surface of the non-woven fabric 41, raised rows 41a, 41a,. Each raised row 41a has a width of about 2 mm and a height of about 1 mm, the pair of raised rows 41a, 41a are juxtaposed at a distance of about 1 mm, and the pair of raised rows 41a, 41a are spaced apart from each other by about 4 mm. Are juxtaposed. On the other hand, the lower surface of the nonwoven fabric 41 is not raised, and the lower surface of the non-raised nonwoven fabric 41 and one surface of the sponge 42 are bonded. The thickness of the nonwoven fabric 41 is about 1 mm excluding the height of the raised rows 41a.

このような洗浄体4は、スポンジと、起毛列を有する面を上面とした不織布との積層体を、長辺が起毛列に略垂直に、短辺が起毛列に略平行になるよう90mm×60mmに裁断して形成する。   Such a cleaning body 4 is a laminate of a sponge and a non-woven fabric having a surface having a raised row as an upper surface, 90 mm × long side being substantially perpendicular to the raised row and short side being substantially parallel to the raised row. Cut to 60 mm.

不織布41はポリエステル製であり、スポンジ42はウレタン製であり、夫々多孔質で柔軟性を有している。このため、洗浄体4は容易に屈曲し、また、屈曲した状態から、弾性によって容易に元の板状に戻る。更に、洗浄体4は多孔質であるため洗剤液を多量に含むことができ、しかも泡立て易く、この結果、被洗浄部の擦り洗いに適している。   The nonwoven fabric 41 is made of polyester, and the sponge 42 is made of urethane, and each is porous and flexible. Therefore, the cleaning body 4 is easily bent, and easily returns to the original plate shape from the bent state by elasticity. Furthermore, since the cleaning body 4 is porous, it can contain a large amount of a detergent solution and is easily foamed. As a result, it is suitable for scrubbing the portion to be cleaned.

ただし、不織布41はスポンジ42よりも硬質であり、しかも起毛列41a,41a,…が形成してあるため、被洗浄部に対する摩擦力が大きい。この結果、不織布41はスポンジ42よりも被洗浄部の汚れを落とし易く、汚損が激しい被洗浄部の洗浄に適しており、更に、汚損が少ない被洗浄部に対しては、洗剤液の使用量を低減可能である。なお、不織布41を形成する繊維は、その長手方向に凸条部を有する異形断面繊維でも良く、この場合、不織布41の被洗浄部に対する摩擦力が更に大きくなる。   However, since the nonwoven fabric 41 is harder than the sponge 42 and the raised rows 41a, 41a,... Are formed, the frictional force against the portion to be cleaned is large. As a result, the non-woven fabric 41 is easier to clean the cleaned portion than the sponge 42, and is suitable for cleaning the cleaned portion where the contamination is severe. Furthermore, the amount of detergent used for the cleaned portion with less contamination Can be reduced. In addition, the fiber which forms the nonwoven fabric 41 may be a modified cross-section fiber having a ridge in the longitudinal direction, and in this case, the frictional force of the nonwoven fabric 41 against the portion to be cleaned is further increased.

一方、スポンジ42は、被洗浄部に対する摩擦力が小さいため、不織布41に比べて被洗浄部を傷つけにくく、また、傷がつきやすい被洗浄部、汚損が少ない被洗浄部等の洗浄に適している。   On the other hand, since the sponge 42 has a small frictional force against the portion to be cleaned, it is less likely to damage the portion to be cleaned than the non-woven fabric 41. Yes.

以上のような洗浄体4は、特に保持体5から取り外されている状態では、洗浄体4に残留する洗剤液、汚れ等を容易に洗濯することができ、また、多孔質であるため、洗濯後に洗浄体4が速やかに乾燥する。この結果、洗浄体4を容易に清潔に保つことができる。更に、被洗浄部の形状、汚損の度合い等に応じて、保持体5から取り外した洗浄体4単体で被洗浄部を洗浄することも可能である。   Since the cleaning body 4 as described above can be easily washed with detergent liquid, dirt, etc. remaining on the cleaning body 4 in a state where it is removed from the holding body 5 and is porous, Later, the cleaning body 4 is quickly dried. As a result, the cleaning body 4 can be easily kept clean. Furthermore, it is possible to clean the portion to be cleaned with the cleaning body 4 alone removed from the holding body 5 according to the shape of the portion to be cleaned, the degree of contamination, and the like.

図4は、挟持体2の構成を示し、図4(a)は平面図であり、図4(b)は側面図である。挟持体2は、厚さ約3mmであり、可撓性を有する略長方形の合成樹脂板を、長辺方向に、下膨れのU字状に湾曲させたような外形に成型してある。このため、挟持体2は、U字の上部と、U字の前部及び奥部(平面視の左右側部)とが開口している。   FIG. 4 shows the structure of the holding body 2, FIG. 4 (a) is a plan view, and FIG. 4 (b) is a side view. The sandwiching body 2 has a thickness of about 3 mm, and is molded into an outer shape such that a substantially rectangular synthetic resin plate having flexibility is curved in a long side direction into a U-shape that is swollen downward. For this reason, as for the clamping body 2, the upper part of U-shape and the front part and back part (left-right side part of planar view) of U-shape are opening.

挟持体2のU字の下部、即ち板状腕部21,21の連結部分は、側面視が内径約19mmの円弧状である。また、板状腕部21,21の離隔距離は、板状腕部21,21同士の基端側から板状腕部21,21夫々の先端側まで徐々に減少しており、最大離隔距離は約12mm、最小離隔距離は約3mmである。つまり、挟持体2は、板状腕部21,21同士が、挟持体2のU字の下部側から上部側まで徐々に接近するように形成してある。挟持体2の平面視の高さH2は約75mm、幅B2は約60mmであって、幅B2と洗浄体4の長さB4とは略等しい。   The U-shaped lower portion of the sandwiching body 2, that is, the connecting portion of the plate-like arm portions 21 and 21, has an arc shape with an inner diameter of about 19 mm in side view. Further, the separation distance between the plate-like arm portions 21 and 21 gradually decreases from the base end side of the plate-like arm portions 21 and 21 to the distal end side of each of the plate-like arm portions 21 and 21, and the maximum separation distance is About 12 mm and the minimum separation distance is about 3 mm. That is, the sandwiching body 2 is formed so that the plate-like arm portions 21 and 21 gradually approach each other from the lower side to the upper side of the U-shape of the sandwiching body 2. The sandwich body 2 has a height H2 in plan view of about 75 mm and a width B2 of about 60 mm, and the width B2 and the length B4 of the cleaning body 4 are substantially equal.

各板状腕部21の内面には、上部から約3mm及び約15mm、左右側部から略等距離の位置に突起部22,22が設けられている。突起部22,22は、上部側から下部側へ突出高さが漸次増加するテーパ状であり、最大突出高さが約2mmの立爪である。突起部22,22,…は挟持体2の成型の際に一体形成されても良く、挟持体2とは別体の突起部22,22,…が挟持体2に接着されても良い。   Protrusions 22 and 22 are provided on the inner surface of each plate-like arm portion 21 at positions of about 3 mm and about 15 mm from the upper part and substantially equidistant from the left and right side parts. The protrusions 22 and 22 are tapered with a protruding height gradually increasing from the upper side to the lower side, and are standing claws having a maximum protruding height of about 2 mm. The protrusions 22, 22,... May be integrally formed when the sandwiching body 2 is molded, and the protrusions 22, 22, etc. that are separate from the sandwiching body 2 may be bonded to the sandwiching body 2.

突起部22,22,…は、挟持体2のU字の上部開口から板状腕部21,21間へ挿入される洗浄体4及び芯板3に対し、上から下への摺動を阻害しない。一方、板状腕部21,21間に挿入された洗浄体4に突起部22,22,…が食い込み、下から上への摺動、左右方向への摺動等を阻害する。即ち、突起部22,22,…は、洗浄体4の抜け止めとして機能する。   The protrusions 22, 22,... Inhibit the cleaning body 4 and the core plate 3 inserted between the plate-shaped arm portions 21 and 21 from the U-shaped upper opening of the sandwiching body 2 from sliding from top to bottom. do not do. On the other hand, the protrusions 22, 22,... Bite into the cleaning body 4 inserted between the plate-like arm portions 21, 21, and obstruct sliding from the bottom to the top, sliding in the left-right direction, and the like. That is, the protrusions 22, 22,... Function as a stopper for the cleaning body 4.

図5は、芯板3の構成を示し、図5(a)は平面図であり、図5(b)は側面図である。芯板3は、挟持体2及び洗浄体4よりも可撓性及び柔軟性が低く剛性が高い略長方形の合成樹脂板であり、厚みは約3mmである。芯板3は、長方形の短辺側の一端部が、洗浄体4に当接すべき当接端部3aであり、長方形の長辺側の一端部、即ち当接端部3aに連続する端部に、掻き板であるスクレーパ33を有する。また、芯板3は、当接端部3aに対向する短辺側の端部3bの両隅に、長辺方向に約2mm突出する抜け止め3d,3dを有する。   FIG. 5 shows a configuration of the core plate 3, FIG. 5 (a) is a plan view, and FIG. 5 (b) is a side view. The core plate 3 is a substantially rectangular synthetic resin plate having lower flexibility and flexibility and higher rigidity than the sandwiching body 2 and the cleaning body 4 and has a thickness of about 3 mm. In the core plate 3, one end portion on the short side of the rectangle is a contact end portion 3 a that should contact the cleaning body 4, and one end portion on the long side of the rectangle, that is, an end continuous with the contact end portion 3 a. The part has a scraper 33 as a scraper. In addition, the core plate 3 has stoppers 3d and 3d protruding about 2 mm in the long side direction at both corners of the short side end portion 3b facing the contact end portion 3a.

以上のような芯板3は、合成樹脂を用いて成型してあり、突起部31,31,…、凸部32、及び抜け止め3d,3d,…は芯板3の成型の際に一体形成される。   The core plate 3 as described above is molded using a synthetic resin, and the projecting portions 31, 31,..., The convex portion 32, and the stoppers 3 d, 3 d,. Is done.

抜け止め3d,3d間の長さB3は約60mmであり、長さB3と挟持体2の幅B2と洗浄体4の長さB4とは略等しい。抜け止め3d,3dは、芯板3が、端部3b側を挟持体2内に向けて、挟持体2の板状腕部21,21間に挿入された場合に、抜け止め3d,3dが挟持体2のU字の底部の左右端面に当接して、芯板3が挟持体2の側方へ移動し挟持体2から脱離することを抑制する。   The length B3 between the retainers 3d and 3d is about 60 mm, and the length B3, the width B2 of the sandwiching body 2, and the length B4 of the cleaning body 4 are substantially equal. When the core plate 3 is inserted between the plate-like arm portions 21 and 21 of the sandwiching body 2 with the end portion 3b side facing into the sandwiching body 2, the retaining members 3d and 3d are prevented from coming off. The core plate 3 is prevented from moving to the side of the sandwiching body 2 and detaching from the sandwiching body 2 by coming into contact with the left and right end surfaces of the U-shaped bottom of the sandwiching body 2.

芯板3の端部3a,3b間の長さH3は約85mmであり、長さH3は挟持体2の高さH2よりも長く、このため、芯板3が挟持体2内に挿入された場合、芯板3の当接端部3a側が挟持体2の上部から挟持体2外に突出する。また、芯板3の端部3aは約70mmであり、このため、芯板3が挟持体2内に挿入された場合、スクレーパ33が挟持体2の側部から挟持体2外に突出する。   The length H3 between the end portions 3a and 3b of the core plate 3 is about 85 mm, and the length H3 is longer than the height H2 of the sandwiching body 2, so that the core plate 3 is inserted into the sandwiching body 2. In this case, the contact end 3 a side of the core plate 3 protrudes from the upper part of the sandwiching body 2 to the outside of the sandwiching body 2. Further, the end portion 3 a of the core plate 3 is about 70 mm. Therefore, when the core plate 3 is inserted into the holding body 2, the scraper 33 protrudes from the side of the holding body 2 to the outside of the holding body 2.

芯板3の両面には、夫々4個の突起部31,31,…と、4個の凸条部32a,32a,…で構成された凸部32とが設けられており、芯板3の両面夫々に設けられている突起部31,31,…及び凸部32の形状、配置等は略同様である。   On the both surfaces of the core plate 3, there are provided four protrusions 31, 31,... And convex portions 32 composed of four ridges 32 a, 32 a,. The shape, arrangement, etc. of the protrusions 31, 31,... And the protrusions 32 provided on both surfaces are substantially the same.

芯板3の一面に設けられている各突起部31は、当接端部3a側から端部3b側へ突出高さが漸次増加するテーパ状であり、最大突出高さが約2mmの立爪である。突起部31,31,…は、芯板3の一面上の仮想的な長方形の四隅に配置されており、この長方形は、2本の長辺夫々が約40mmで、当接端部3aに略平行に配され、当接端部3aからの離隔距離が約5mm及び約30mmである。   Each protrusion 31 provided on one surface of the core plate 3 has a tapered shape in which the protruding height gradually increases from the abutting end 3a side to the end 3b side, and the maximum protruding height is about 2 mm. It is. .. Are disposed at the four corners of a virtual rectangle on one surface of the core plate 3, and each of the two long sides is approximately 40 mm, and is substantially at the contact end 3 a. They are arranged in parallel, and the separation distance from the contact end 3a is about 5 mm and about 30 mm.

屈曲部4bの内面が当接端部3aに当接し、屈曲した洗浄体4の内面が芯板3の両面に接触した場合、突起部31,31,…は洗浄体4に食い込み、芯板3の長辺方向及び短辺方向夫々への洗浄体4の摺動を阻害する。即ち、突起部31,31,…は、洗浄体4の抜け止めとして機能する。   When the inner surface of the bent portion 4b contacts the contact end portion 3a and the inner surface of the bent cleaning body 4 contacts both surfaces of the core plate 3, the protrusions 31, 31,. The sliding of the cleaning body 4 in the long side direction and the short side direction is obstructed. That is, the protrusions 31, 31,.

芯板3の一面に設けられている凸部32の凸条部32a,32a,…夫々は、幅が約2mm、長手方向の長さが約30mmであり、長手方向が芯板3の長辺方向に沿って、互いに約5mmずつ離隔して設けられている。各凸条部32aの長手方向端部3b側の約半分は、当接端部3a側から端部3b側へ突出高さが漸次減少するテーパ状であり、最大突出高さは約5mmである。凸部32は、凸部32のテーパ側端部の端部3bからの離隔距離は15mmである。   Each of the protrusions 32a, 32a,... Of the protrusion 32 provided on one surface of the core plate 3 has a width of about 2 mm and a length in the longitudinal direction of about 30 mm, and the longitudinal direction is the long side of the core plate 3. Along each direction, they are separated from each other by about 5 mm. About half of each protrusion 32a on the longitudinal end 3b side is a tapered shape in which the protrusion height gradually decreases from the contact end 3a side to the end 3b side, and the maximum protrusion height is about 5 mm. . The protrusion 32 has a separation distance of 15 mm from the end 3 b of the taper side end of the protrusion 32.

つまり、凸部32には、凸条部32a,32a,…同士の離間部である溝部が形成されている。このような溝部がない凸部32は、凸部32の成型時に傷がつき易い。また、芯板3が、端部3b側を挟持体2内に向けて、挟持体2の板状腕部21,21間に挿入される場合に、凸条部32a,32a間を挟持体2の突起部22,22が通過することによって、突起部22,22,…及び凸部32,32は、芯板3の挟持体2内部への挿入を案内する。更に、上述の場合に、凸条部32a,32aのテーパ部が挟持体2の内面に摺動することによって、芯板3の挟持体2内部への挿入を容易にする。   That is, the convex portion 32 is formed with a groove portion that is a separation portion between the convex strip portions 32a, 32a,. The convex part 32 without such a groove part is easily damaged when the convex part 32 is molded. In addition, when the core plate 3 is inserted between the plate-like arm portions 21 and 21 of the sandwiching body 2 with the end 3b side facing into the sandwiching body 2, the sandwiching body 2 is interposed between the protrusions 32a and 32a. The projections 22, 22 pass through the projections 22, 22,... And the projections 32, 32 guide the insertion of the core plate 3 into the sandwiching body 2. Furthermore, in the above-described case, the taper portions of the ridge portions 32 a and 32 a slide on the inner surface of the sandwiching body 2, thereby facilitating the insertion of the core plate 3 into the sandwiching body 2.

更にまた、上述の場合に、芯板3の厚みが約3mm、凸部32の突出高さが約5mmであり、挟持体2の板状腕部21,21間の離隔距離が約3mmから約12mmであるため、凸部32,32は、挟持体2の板状腕部21,21によって挟持される。   Furthermore, in the case described above, the thickness of the core plate 3 is about 3 mm, the protruding height of the convex portion 32 is about 5 mm, and the separation distance between the plate-like arm portions 21 and 21 of the sandwiching body 2 is about 3 mm to about Since it is 12 mm, the convex portions 32, 32 are sandwiched by the plate-like arm portions 21, 21 of the sandwiching body 2.

図6は、洗浄具1の組み立て方法を示す説明図である。洗浄具1のユーザは、挟持体2、芯板3、及び洗浄体4を準備し、まず、芯板3の当接端部3aを、洗浄体4の一面に、洗浄体4の短辺側の端部4aに略平行に、長辺側端部の略中心に当接させた状態で、洗浄体4をく字状に屈曲させる。又は、ユーザは洗浄体4を屈曲させ、屈曲させた洗浄体4で、芯板3の当接端部3a側を挟持し、洗浄体4の屈曲部4b内面に当接端部3aを当接させる。更に、ユーザは、く字状に屈曲された洗浄体4の内面を、芯板3の両面に接触させる。このとき、屈曲された洗浄体4の内面に、芯板3の突起部31,31,…が食い込む。また、上述のとき、洗浄体4の両端部4a,4aと芯板3の凸部32とは接触しない。   FIG. 6 is an explanatory view showing an assembling method of the cleaning tool 1. The user of the cleaning tool 1 prepares the sandwiching body 2, the core plate 3, and the cleaning body 4. First, the contact end 3 a of the core plate 3 is placed on one surface of the cleaning body 4 and the short side of the cleaning body 4. The cleaning body 4 is bent into a square shape in a state of being in contact with the approximate center of the end portion on the long side, substantially parallel to the end portion 4a. Alternatively, the user bends the cleaning body 4, holds the contact end 3 a side of the core plate 3 with the bent cleaning body 4, and contacts the contact end 3 a to the inner surface of the bending portion 4 b of the cleaning body 4. Let Further, the user brings the inner surface of the cleaning body 4 bent in a square shape into contact with both surfaces of the core plate 3. At this time, the protrusions 31, 31,... Of the core plate 3 bite into the bent inner surface of the cleaning body 4. Moreover, at the time of the above-mentioned, the both ends 4a and 4a of the washing body 4 and the convex part 32 of the core board 3 do not contact.

次に、ユーザは、芯板3を、洗浄体4で挟持したまま、端部3b側を挟持体2内に向け、板状腕部21,21の上部を外側へ撓ませて、挟持体2の上部開口から挟持体2内へ、端部3bが挟持体2の底部内面に当接するまで、図中白抜矢符方向に押し込んで、芯板3及び洗浄体4の両端部4a,4aを挟持体2内へ挿入する。この場合、ユーザは、端部3b側の抜け止め3d,3dが挟持体2の側部開口から外部に露出するように配置する。このとき、芯板3の凸部32のテーパ部と挟持体2内面とが摺動し、芯板3の挿入を容易にし、挟持体2の板状腕部21,21内面の突起部22,22が芯板3の凸部32の凸条部32a,32a間に挿入されて芯板3の移動を案内する。   Next, while the core plate 3 is sandwiched between the cleaning bodies 4, the user turns the end 3 b side into the sandwiching body 2 and flexes the upper portions of the plate-like arm portions 21, 21 outward to sandwich the sandwiching body 2. Are pushed in the direction of the white arrow in the figure until the end portion 3b comes into contact with the inner surface of the bottom portion of the sandwiching body 2, and the both ends 4a and 4a of the core plate 3 and the cleaning body 4 are moved. Insert into the clamping body 2. In this case, the user arranges the stoppers 3d and 3d on the end 3b side to be exposed to the outside from the side opening of the sandwiching body 2. At this time, the taper portion of the convex portion 32 of the core plate 3 and the inner surface of the sandwiching body 2 slide to facilitate the insertion of the core plate 3, and the protrusions 22 on the inner surfaces of the plate-like arm portions 21 and 21 of the sandwiching body 2. 22 is inserted between the protrusions 32 a and 32 a of the protrusion 32 of the core plate 3 to guide the movement of the core plate 3.

挟持体2の板状腕部21,21は、芯板3の両面側に離隔して配され、芯板3を挿入する間、板状腕部21,21内面の突起部22,22,…のテーパ部が、屈曲された洗浄体4の外面に摺動する。また、板状腕部21,21は、芯板3の挿入完了後、屈曲された洗浄体4の両端部4a,4a及び両端部4a,4a近傍を、洗浄体4の内側に配置されている芯板3の両面との間で挟持する。この場合、突起部31,31,…に加えて、突起部22,22,…が屈曲された洗浄体4に食い込む。   The plate-like arm portions 21, 21 of the sandwiching body 2 are spaced apart on both sides of the core plate 3, and while the core plate 3 is being inserted, the protrusions 22, 22,. The taper portion slides on the outer surface of the bent cleaning body 4. Further, the plate-like arm portions 21 and 21 are disposed inside the cleaning body 4 at both ends 4a and 4a of the bent cleaning body 4 and the vicinity of both ends 4a and 4a after the insertion of the core plate 3 is completed. It is sandwiched between both surfaces of the core plate 3. In this case, in addition to the protrusions 31, 31,..., The protrusions 22, 22,.

芯板3、及び洗浄体4の両端部4a,4a夫々の厚みの合計は、板状腕部21,21の離隔距離より大きい。このため、芯板3及び洗浄体4を挟持する板状腕部21,21は、芯板3、及び洗浄体4の上部側端部が外側へ撓む。この場合、撓んだ板状腕部21,21が元の形状に戻るべく内側に撓もうとするため、洗浄体4は板状腕部21,21と芯板3との間で固定される。   The sum of the thicknesses of the core plate 3 and the both end portions 4a and 4a of the cleaning body 4 is larger than the separation distance of the plate-like arm portions 21 and 21. For this reason, as for the plate-shaped arm parts 21 and 21 which pinch | interpose the core board 3 and the washing | cleaning body 4, the upper edge part of the core board 3 and the washing | cleaning body 4 bends outside. In this case, the cleaning plate 4 is fixed between the plate-like arm portions 21 and 21 and the core plate 3 because the bent plate-like arm portions 21 and 21 try to bend inward so as to return to the original shape. .

以上のようにして、挟持体2と芯板3とで構成される保持体5が洗浄体4を保持する。ユーザは、挟持体2の下部を掌側に向け、一方の板状腕部21の中央部に親指を、他方の板状腕部21の中央部に人差し指、中指、薬指及び小指を配置して、洗浄体4を保持している保持体5、具体的には挟持体2を把持する。   As described above, the holding body 5 constituted by the sandwiching body 2 and the core plate 3 holds the cleaning body 4. The user places the lower part of the sandwiching body 2 toward the palm side, and places a thumb at the center of one plate-like arm 21 and an index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger at the center of the other plate-like arm 21. The holding body 5 holding the cleaning body 4, specifically, the sandwiching body 2 is gripped.

さて、板状腕部21,21が外側へ撓むため、板状腕部21,21と芯板3の凸部32,32との間には僅かに空隙が生じる。しかしながら、挟持体2がユーザに把持されることによって、板状腕部21,21の中央部が内側に撓み、芯板3の凸部32,32を確実に把持する。また、板状腕部21,21の中央部が内側に撓むため、洗浄体4は板状腕部21,21と芯板3との間で確実に固定される。   Now, since the plate-like arm portions 21 and 21 are bent outward, a slight gap is generated between the plate-like arm portions 21 and 21 and the convex portions 32 and 32 of the core plate 3. However, when the clamping body 2 is gripped by the user, the central portions of the plate-like arm portions 21 and 21 are bent inward, and the convex portions 32 and 32 of the core plate 3 are securely gripped. Moreover, since the center part of the plate-shaped arm parts 21 and 21 bends inward, the washing | cleaning body 4 is fixed between the plate-shaped arm parts 21 and 21 and the core board 3 reliably.

以上のようにして組み立てられた洗浄具1は、ユーザが芯板3又は洗浄体4を摘持して、挟持体2の上部開口から挟持体2外へ引き抜くことによって、簡単に解体され、挟持体2、芯板3、及び洗浄体4が分離される。つまり、芯板3は、板状腕部21,21間に挿脱可能に配される。洗浄具1を分解する場合にも、凸部32のテーパ部が芯板3の移動を容易にし、また、突起部22,22と芯板3の凸部32の溝部とが芯板3の移動を案内する。ここで、挟持体2から芯板3及び洗浄体4を引き抜く場合、板状腕部21,21の先端部を外側へ撓ませることによって、挟持体2内面の突起部22,22,…が洗浄体4の外面に擦過することを抑制して、より引き抜き易くすることができる。   The cleaning tool 1 assembled as described above is easily disassembled and held by the user holding the core plate 3 or the cleaning body 4 and pulling it out of the holding body 2 from the upper opening of the holding body 2. The body 2, the core plate 3, and the cleaning body 4 are separated. That is, the core plate 3 is detachably disposed between the plate-like arm portions 21 and 21. Even when the cleaning tool 1 is disassembled, the taper portion of the convex portion 32 facilitates the movement of the core plate 3, and the protrusions 22 and 22 and the groove portion of the convex portion 32 of the core plate 3 move the core plate 3. To guide you. Here, when the core plate 3 and the cleaning body 4 are pulled out from the sandwiching body 2, the protrusions 22, 22,... On the inner surface of the sandwiching body 2 are cleaned by bending the distal ends of the plate-like arm portions 21, 21 outward. By rubbing against the outer surface of the body 4, it can be more easily pulled out.

以上のような洗浄具1を用いる場合、ユーザは、洗浄体4を保持している保持体5を片手で把持し、その内側に芯板3が配置された洗浄体4の屈曲部4bで、台所のシンク又は調理台、浴室の床又は浴槽、洗面台、便所の便器又は床等の被洗浄部を擦って洗浄する。また、特に被洗浄部に汚れがこびりついている場合は、保持体5を90度回転させて持ち替え、挟持体2の側部から突出するようにして配置されているスクレーパ33で被洗浄部の汚れを掻き取って清掃する。   When using the cleaning tool 1 as described above, the user holds the holding body 5 holding the cleaning body 4 with one hand, and at the bent portion 4b of the cleaning body 4 in which the core plate 3 is disposed, Rinse and wash parts to be cleaned such as kitchen sinks or kitchen sinks, bathroom floors or bathtubs, washstands, toilets or floors in toilets. In particular, when dirt is stuck to the part to be cleaned, the holder 5 is rotated 90 degrees to be changed, and the part to be cleaned is cleaned by the scraper 33 arranged so as to protrude from the side of the sandwiching body 2. Scrape and clean.

このような洗浄具1は、屈曲された柔軟な洗浄体4を、洗浄体4よりも硬質の保持体5が保持することによって、屈曲された洗浄体4が弾性によって元の形状に戻ろうとする動きを阻止し、このため、洗浄体4を屈曲された状態に維持することができる。また、洗浄体4を保持している保持体5、更に詳細には洗浄体4及び芯板3を挟持している板状腕部21,21をユーザが把持することができ、このため、屈曲された洗浄体4をユーザが把持し易くすることができる。更にまた、屈曲された洗浄体4の内側に配置されている芯板3の剛性によって、洗浄体4の屈曲部4bで被洗浄部を擦る場合でも洗浄体4の屈曲部4bが不必要に変形することを抑制することができる。   In such a cleaning tool 1, the bent flexible cleaning body 4 is held by the holding body 5 that is harder than the cleaning body 4, so that the bent cleaning body 4 tends to return to its original shape by elasticity. The movement is prevented, and therefore the cleaning body 4 can be maintained in a bent state. In addition, the user can hold the holding body 5 holding the cleaning body 4, more specifically, the plate-like arm portions 21 and 21 holding the cleaning body 4 and the core plate 3. It is possible to make it easier for the user to hold the cleaned body 4. Furthermore, the bending portion 4b of the cleaning body 4 is unnecessarily deformed even when the portion to be cleaned is rubbed by the bending portion 4b of the cleaning body 4 due to the rigidity of the core plate 3 arranged inside the bent cleaning body 4. Can be suppressed.

また、挟持体2が下膨れのU字状であるため、保持体5はユーザが把持し易い。更に、芯板3と挟持体2とは別体であるが、板状腕部21,21が芯板3の凸部32を挟持するため、芯板3を確実に固定することができ、芯板3のガタつき、ひいては芯板3に当接する洗浄体4のガタつきを抑制することができる。   In addition, since the sandwiching body 2 has a U-shape that swells downward, the holding body 5 is easily gripped by the user. Furthermore, although the core plate 3 and the sandwiching body 2 are separate, the plate-like arm portions 21 and 21 sandwich the convex portion 32 of the core plate 3, so that the core plate 3 can be securely fixed, The backlash of the plate 3 and the backlash of the cleaning body 4 in contact with the core plate 3 can be suppressed.

更にまた、洗浄体4の両端部4a,4a及び両端部4a,4a近傍が、板状腕部21,21の間、更には挟持体2と芯板3との間で固定される。また、突起部22,31,…が洗浄体4に食い込むため、芯板3及び板状腕部21,21は洗浄体4を確実に固定する。以上の結果、保持体5が、屈曲された洗浄体4を確実に保持することができる。なお、突起部22,31,…の内、突起部22,22,…のみが設けられても良く、突起部31,31,…のみが設けられても良いが、本実施の形態のように突起部22,31,…の両方が設けられている場合の方が、片方のみが設けられている場合よりも更に確実に洗浄体4を固定する。   Furthermore, both end portions 4 a and 4 a and the vicinity of both end portions 4 a and 4 a of the cleaning body 4 are fixed between the plate-like arm portions 21 and 21 and between the sandwiching body 2 and the core plate 3. Further, since the protrusions 22, 31,... Bite into the cleaning body 4, the core plate 3 and the plate-like arm parts 21, 21 securely fix the cleaning body 4. As a result, the holding body 5 can reliably hold the bent cleaning body 4. Of the protrusions 22, 31,..., Only the protrusions 22, 22,... May be provided, or only the protrusions 31, 31,. In the case where both the protrusions 22, 31,... Are provided, the cleaning body 4 is fixed more reliably than in the case where only one of them is provided.

更に、洗浄具1は、不織布41とスポンジ42とリバーシブルに用いることができ、このため、被洗浄部の汚れの度合い、被洗浄部の傷つき易さ等に応じて、汚れを落とし易い不織布41と傷をつけにくいスポンジ42とを使い分けることができる。   Furthermore, the cleaning tool 1 can be used in a reversible manner with the nonwoven fabric 41 and the sponge 42. For this reason, the nonwoven fabric 41 and the nonwoven fabric 41 that easily removes dirt depending on the degree of contamination of the portion to be cleaned and the degree of easy damage to the portion to be cleaned. It is possible to selectively use the sponge 42 that is difficult to scratch.

更にまた、芯板3が有するスクレーパ33によって、洗浄体4で擦って洗浄するだけでなく、被洗浄部にこびりついた汚れをも掻き取って清掃することができる。また、スクレーパ33が、洗浄体4に当接する端部ではなく、洗浄体4に当接する端部に連続する端部に設けられるため、スクレーパ33で汚れを掻き落とす場合に、いちいち洗浄体4を芯板3から取り外す必要がない。更にまた、スクレーパ33を有する芯板3が挟持体2に挟持されているため、ユーザは挟持体2を把持してスクレーパ33を利用することができ、芯板3を直接的に把持してスクレーパ33を利用する場合よりも把持し易い。   Furthermore, the scraper 33 included in the core plate 3 can be cleaned not only by rubbing with the cleaning body 4 but also by removing the dirt stuck to the cleaned portion. Further, since the scraper 33 is provided not at the end contacting the cleaning body 4 but at the end continuous with the end contacting the cleaning body 4, when the scraper 33 scrapes off the dirt, the cleaning body 4 is removed each time. There is no need to remove from the core plate 3. Furthermore, since the core plate 3 having the scraper 33 is sandwiched between the sandwiching bodies 2, the user can use the scraper 33 by gripping the sandwiching body 2, and can directly grip the core plate 3 and scraper. It is easier to grip than when 33 is used.

以上の結果、本発明の洗浄具1は、被洗浄部の汚れを洗浄し易い。   As a result, the cleaning tool 1 of the present invention can easily clean the portion to be cleaned.

また、洗浄体4と保持体5とが別体であり、更に、洗浄体4は保持体5で挟持するため、洗浄体4を保持体5に対して容易に挿脱することができ、更にまた、洗浄体4に汚れ、磨耗等の不具合が生じた場合に洗浄体4を取り替えることによって洗浄具1の洗浄能力を維持することができる。また、汚れて保持体5から取り外された洗浄体4は容易に洗濯することができる。更に、洗浄具1は洗浄体4を予め屈曲された状態に維持しておくことができるため、狭い面積、汚れが酷い部分等を洗浄する場合にも、いちいち洗浄体4を屈曲させる必要がなく、このため、ユーザの利便性が向上されている。   Moreover, since the cleaning body 4 and the holding body 5 are separate bodies, and the cleaning body 4 is sandwiched between the holding bodies 5, the cleaning body 4 can be easily inserted into and removed from the holding body 5. Moreover, the cleaning ability of the cleaning tool 1 can be maintained by replacing the cleaning body 4 when the cleaning body 4 has a defect such as dirt or wear. Further, the cleaning body 4 that is dirty and removed from the holding body 5 can be easily washed. Furthermore, since the cleaning tool 1 can maintain the cleaning body 4 in a bent state in advance, it is not necessary to bend the cleaning body 4 one by one even when cleaning a narrow area, a part with severe dirt, or the like. For this reason, user convenience is improved.

更にまた、芯板3を板状腕部21,21間に挿入して板状腕部21,21で凸部32,32を挟持することによって、保持体5を構成することができる。また、板状腕部21,21が撓んで洗浄体4及び芯板3を固定するため、これらを固定するために別の固定具を用いる必要がなく、保持体5の構成が簡易である。以上の結果、ユーザにとって洗浄具1の組み立て/解体が容易である。   Furthermore, the holding body 5 can be configured by inserting the core plate 3 between the plate-like arm portions 21 and 21 and sandwiching the convex portions 32 and 32 by the plate-like arm portions 21 and 21. Further, since the plate-like arm portions 21 and 21 are bent to fix the cleaning body 4 and the core plate 3, it is not necessary to use another fixing tool for fixing them, and the configuration of the holding body 5 is simple. As a result, the user can easily assemble / disassemble the cleaning tool 1.

更に、板状腕部21,21と芯板3とが別体に形成されるため、板状腕部21,21及び芯板3夫々を容易に製造することができる。   Furthermore, since the plate-like arm portions 21 and 21 and the core plate 3 are formed separately, the plate-like arm portions 21 and 21 and the core plate 3 can be easily manufactured.

なお、保持体の可撓部材と芯板とは一体形成されても良い。この場合、芯板と可撓部材のU字の底部とが一体になっていても良く、芯板の凸部と挟持体の内面とが一体になっていても良い。また、2本の板状腕部は、互いに形状、サイズ、素材等が異なっても良い。更に、洗浄体4は不織布のみ、スポンジのみで構成されても良く、不織布及びスポンジ以外(例えば織布)を用いても良い。更にまた、通常は洗浄体4には水、洗剤液等を含ませて用いるが、洗浄体4が乾燥した状態で清掃しても良い。   The flexible member of the holding body and the core plate may be integrally formed. In this case, the core plate and the U-shaped bottom portion of the flexible member may be integrated, or the convex portion of the core plate and the inner surface of the sandwiching body may be integrated. Further, the two plate-like arm portions may have different shapes, sizes, materials, and the like. Furthermore, the cleaning body 4 may be composed of only a non-woven fabric or a sponge, or other than the non-woven fabric and the sponge (for example, a woven fabric) may be used. Furthermore, although the cleaning body 4 is usually used by including water, a detergent solution, etc., the cleaning body 4 may be cleaned in a dry state.
