【０００６】
第２の手段として、上記第１の手段を有すると共に、上記基台上部を上面閉塞の円筒部12に形成して、外周面に第１係合条21を周設すると共に、上面板に十字形状の透孔23を穿設して、上面板外周の前後左右から突出する弾性片24を形成し、弾性片 24 上面へ円筒半径方向への第３係合条25を付設させ、又柄部材基端部40から垂下させた筒部を上記円筒部12外面へ嵌合させて、該筒部内面に周設した第２係合条41と上記第１係合条21とを回動可能に噛合せると共に、基端部の筒部内天井壁から垂下させた突部43下端面へ、上記第３係合条25と噛合う第４係合条42を付形した。
【０００７】
第３の手段として、上記第１又は第２の手段を有すると共に、上記モップ本体１上面に開口させて縦穴ないし縦孔３を穿設し、かつ該縦孔等内面に基台11下部を嵌合させて該基台下部に形成した、下面開口の通路付き軸孔内へ、縦孔３等内に横設した軸４を嵌合させた。
【０００８】
第４の手段として、上記第１、第２又は第２の手段を有すると共に、上記柄部材31を、基端部40付きの第１柄部34と該第１柄部の後端部へ前端部を嵌合させてピン36で枢着させた第２柄部35とで形成し、これ等両柄部をピン36を中心とする第２柄部の回動により折畳み、および折伸し自在に形成した。
【０００９】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下図面について説明する。まず図１から図７が示す第１実施形態について説明すると、本発明のモップはモップ本体と、基台と柄部材とからなる。
【００１０】
モップ本体１は、左右方向に長い長方形状をなし、その頂壁２上面中央部に開口させて縦孔３を穿設し、又その縦孔内面の前後方向中間には軸４を左右方向へ横設している。尚図示例では軸両端上方の頂壁部分には***部を付設しているが、これ等***部は必ずしも必要としない。又頂壁２の各角部内方には円形の薄肉部５、５を設け、該薄肉部中心から放射状に切り離し線を穿設して、切り離し線間の薄肉部を複数の弾性挾持片６に形成している。
【００１１】
基台11は、図２が示すように上部を上面閉塞の円筒部12とし、該円筒部下方を四角筒部13としており、該四角筒部の下部左右両側壁には下面開口の切欠き14、14を設けてそれ等両側壁を下面開口の通路付きの軸受けとし、上記切欠き14、14の上方部分間を軸孔に、かつ切欠き下方部分間を上記軸孔へ軸４を導くための通路としている。又左右側壁下端の切欠き後方部分はやや前方へ突出させており、これ等前方突出部分15、15前面と、後壁下端から前方突出させた第１係合板16前面とを図３が示すように同一垂直面上に位置させている。又前壁には、割溝17穿設により下部の左右両部を連結部18、18とするクリップ片19を形成し、該クリップ片下端から第２係合板20を後方突出して、その四角筒部下部を既述縦孔３内へ遊挿させ、クリップ片上部を内方へ押込みして、上記第１、第２係合板16、20間の間隙を拡げることで、それ等両係合板上方へ軸４を入れ、該軸を第１、第２係合板16、20で支持させている。
【００１２】
又円筒部12外面には、凹凸いずれかの第１係合条21を周設すると共に、上面板22には図４が示すように十字形状の透孔23を穿設して、その上面板外周の前後左右から弾性片24が中心方向へ突出する形状とし、かつそれ等各弾性片上面へは、凹凸いずれかの第３係合条25を円筒部の半径方向へ付形している。
【００１３】
柄部材31は、頂壁32の左右から側板33、33を垂下させて、断面逆凹字形状に形成した第１柄部34と第２柄部35とを、第１柄部後端部へ第２柄部の前端部を嵌合させ、該嵌合部分の左右側板相互をピン36、36で枢着させて、第１柄部34に対して第２柄部35を図２のように折畳みし、又図１のように折伸し自在としている。又第１柄部頂壁の後端部には通路37付きの軸孔38を穿設し、その通路は軸孔との連通部が狭く、頂壁後端面の入口部が広いテーパ状とし、第２柄部頂壁の後部からは図７が示すように軸39を突出させて、該第２柄部折伸し時に軸39が通路の巾狭部分を強制通過することで軸孔38内へ嵌合し、又折畳み時には上記巾狭部分を強制通過して軸孔から外れ、図２のように第１柄部の左右側板外面へ第２柄部の左右側板を重ねて折畳みすることが可能としている。
【００１４】
第１柄部34の前端部は基端部40として前下方へ屈曲させて下面開口の筒状部とし、該筒状部内面は円形としてその内面へ、既述第１係合条21と噛合せ可能な凸凹いずれかの第２係合条41を周設している。図示例にあっては、第１係合条を凸条とし、第２係合条を凹溝としてその凹溝内へ第１係合条が噛合うよう設けている。又その筒部内の天井面からは既述第３係合条25と噛合う凸凹いずれかに第４係合条42を下端面に有する四箇の突部43を図５、図６が示すように垂下させており、上記基台11に対して柄部材31は、弾性片24の弾性変形により左右および前後の方向へ回動させることが出来、それぞれの位置で第３係合条25と第４係合条42とが噛合うよう設けている。
【００１５】
尚上記基台11は、その下部を縦孔３内へ嵌合させ、軸４を切欠き14、14上部内へ嵌合させ、かつ軸下面を第１、第２係合板16、20で支持させた状態で、軸４を中心として基台上部を前後方向へ揺動可能に設けている。
【００１６】
上記のようにモップ本体１に対して基台11を、かつ基台上部へ柄部材基端部40を、それぞれ装着させた状態で、柄部材31を前方へ押し、又引くことで床面等をモップで清掃することが出来、又モップ本体１に対して柄部材31を左右へ、又前方へ回すことで、弾性片24が弾性変形してモップ本体へ嵌合させた基台11を介して柄部材突出方向を変えることが出来る。尚モップ本体は、その本体下面へ予め装着されている布状拭取り部を使用してもよく、又図９のように別に設けた拭取り布54上へ、モップ本体下面を載置して、その布の角部を既述各薄肉部５へ差込み、該差込み部分を弾性挾持片６で挾持させて装着してもよい。
【００１７】
図８と図９とは第２実施形態を示す。第１実施形態との相違点だけ説明すると、モップ本体の縦孔３内からは、その縦孔左右内壁面からピン軸51、51を内方へ突出させ、又基台11の左右両側壁下端を下方へ延長させて軸受けとなし、これ等軸受けに、下面へ開口する通路52付きの軸孔53、53を穿設している。その通路は下端開口を上記ピン軸直径よりも大とし、かつ軸孔との連続部の巾をピン軸直径よりも小として、上方からの基台11押下げによりピン軸51、51を軸孔53、53内へ強制嵌合可能としている。その他構造は第１実施形態の場合と同一であり、よって同一符号を付することで説明は省略する。
【００１８】
上記モップ本体、基台、柄部材はそれぞれ合成樹脂材で形成している。
【００１９】
【発明の効果】
本発明は既述構成とするものであり、請求項１記載の構造としたことで、基台11を介してモップ本体１から後方突出する柄部材31を上下動できるから、又基台上部に対して柄部材31は水平方向への回動が自在であるから、該モップの使用が便利であり、又モップ本体に対して基台は着脱自在であるから、モップ本体と基台付きの柄部材とに分離して収納ないし輸送等できる便利がある。
【００２０】
また、基台11上部に対する柄部材基端部40の嵌合を、基台後方、前方、或いは左右いずれかの方向へ柄部材が突出するように確実に位置決めさせることが出来、又その位置決めは、モップ本体に基台を、かつ該基台上部へ柄部材基端部を、それぞれ装着させた状態から柄部材31を水平方向へ回動させるだけで行うことが出来る便利がある。
【００２１】
第３の手段のようにすることで、モップ本体に対する基台11の着脱が容易かつ確実とすることが出来る。
【００２２】
第４の手段のようにすることで、柄部材31を折伸ばして長くしたり、折畳みして短かくしたりすることが容易となる。

As a passage. Further, the notch rear portions at the lower ends of the left and right side walls protrude slightly forward, and these front protruding portions 15, 15 and the front surface of the first engagement plate 16 protruding forward from the lower end of the rear wall are shown in FIG. Are located on the same vertical plane. Further, a clip piece 19 is formed in the front wall with the lower left and right portions as connecting portions 18 and 18 by drilling a split groove 17, and the second engagement plate 20 protrudes rearward from the lower end of the clip piece, and the rectangular tube The lower part is loosely inserted into the vertical hole 3 described above, the upper part of the clip piece is pushed inward, and the gap between the first and second engagement plates 16 and 20 is widened. The shaft 4 is inserted, and the shaft is supported by the first and second engagement plates 16 and 20.
[0012]
The cylindrical portion 12 outer surface also irregularities with either to circumferentially the first Kakarigojo 21, the upper plate 22 drilled through hole 23 of the cross shape as shown in FIG. 4, the upper plate The elastic pieces 24 protrude from the front, rear, left, and right of the outer periphery in the center direction, and on the upper surfaces of these elastic pieces, a concave or convex third engagement strip 25 is formed in the radial direction of the cylindrical portion.
[0013]
The handle member 31 hangs the side plates 33 and 33 from the left and right sides of the top wall 32 to form a first handle portion 34 and a second handle portion 35 formed in a reverse concave shape in cross section to the rear end portion of the first handle portion. The front end portion of the second handle portion is fitted, and the left and right side plates of the fitting portion are pivotally attached to each other with pins 36 and 36, and the second handle portion 35 is attached to the first handle portion 34 as shown in FIG. It can be folded and foldable as shown in FIG. Also, a shaft hole 38 with a passage 37 is formed in the rear end portion of the first handle top wall, and the passage has a narrow communication portion with the shaft hole, and a tapered entrance portion on the rear end surface of the top wall. As shown in FIG. 7, the shaft 39 protrudes from the rear part of the top wall of the second handle portion, and when the second handle portion is folded, the shaft 39 forcibly passes through the narrow portion of the passage so that the shaft hole 38 And when it is folded, it can be forced to pass through the narrow part and disengage from the shaft hole, and the left and right side plates of the second handle can be folded on the left and right side plates of the first handle as shown in FIG. It is possible.
[0014]
The front end portion of the first handle portion 34 is bent forward and downward as a base end portion 40 to form a cylindrical portion having a lower surface opening, and the inner surface of the cylindrical portion is circular and meshes with the first engaging strip 21 described above. A second engaging strip 41 is provided around one of the convex and concave portions. In the illustrated example, the first engaging strip is provided as a convex strip and the second engaging strip is formed as a concave groove so that the first engaging strip is engaged with the concave groove. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, four protrusions 43 having a fourth engaging strip 42 on the lower end surface of the concave and convex portions meshing with the third engaging strip 25 described above from the ceiling surface in the cylindrical portion. The handle member 31 can be rotated in the left and right and front and rear directions by elastic deformation of the elastic piece 24 with respect to the base 11, and the third engagement strip 25 and the fourth engagement member 25 can be rotated at the respective positions. The engaging strips 42 are provided so as to mesh with each other.
[0015]
