ワイパー兼用塗布具 技術分野 Wipers and applicators
この発明は、 例えばガラスや建築材明料等に機能性溶液等の液剤を塗布したり、 水や 汚れ等を拭き取ったりガラスなどの平滑面田にフィルムを貼る際等に用いられるワイパ 一兼用塗布具に関するものである。 背景技術  This invention is used, for example, when applying a solution such as a functional solution to glass, building material light, etc., wiping off water, dirt etc., or applying a film to a smooth surface such as glass etc. It relates to the Background art
従来より、 例えばガラス等に溶剤を均一に塗布したり、 水や汚れ等を拭き取ったり するための用具として、 第 1 1図に示すようなゴムや軟質合成樹脂等の弾性材料から なる先端部を設けたへら 5 2を有するワイパー 5 1が用いられている。  Conventionally, for example, as a tool for applying a solvent uniformly to glass etc. or wiping off water or dirt etc., the tip portion made of an elastic material such as rubber or soft synthetic resin as shown in FIG. A wiper 51 having a spatula 52 provided is used.
また、 例えばガラスに撥水剤や親水剤等のコーティング溶液を塗布する場合に用い られる塗布具として第 1 2図に示すように、 先端に設けられた芯状のへら 6 2を不織 布等からなる塗布部材 3 0で覆つた塗布具 6 1が用いられ、 塗布部材 3 0に溶液を含 浸させて塗布作業を行っている。  Also, for example, as shown in FIG. 12 as a coating tool used when applying a coating solution such as a water repellent or a hydrophilic agent to glass, a core-like spatula 62 provided at the tip is a non-woven cloth etc. An application tool 61 covered with an application member 30 is used, and a solution is impregnated in the application member 30 to perform application work.
しかしながら、 第 1 1図に示すようなワイパー 5 1においては、 被塗布部材の表面 が曲面や凹凸を有する場合にはへら 5 2が十分に表面に密着しにくい場合があった。 また、 第 1 2図に示すような塗布具 6 1に関しては、 不織布等の塗布部材 3 0が接 着剤層 6 3などによりへら 6 2に固着されているため、 塗布する液剤の種類や塗布目 的等によって、 適切な塗布部材 3 0が取り付けられた塗布具 6 1をその都度用意しな ければならなかつた。 また、 塗布部材 3 0が汚れた際、 機械で丸洗レ、することは困難 であり、 洗浄が面倒であった。 しかも、 塗布部材 3 0が液剤の成分や反復使用等によ つて傷んだ場合には、塗布具 6 1全体を廃棄して新しいものと交換しなければならず、 不経済であった。 加えて、 前述のようにへら 6 2が硬質で先端における弾性が劣るこ とから塗装面に沿って塗布部材 3 0が密着せず、 使い勝手が悪く、 美麗な仕上げが困 難であるという問題もあつた。 However, in the case of the wiper 51 as shown in FIG. 11, when the surface of the member to be coated has a curved surface or unevenness, the spatula 52 may not sufficiently adhere to the surface. With regard to the applicator 61 as shown in FIG. 12, an application member 30 such as a non-woven fabric is in contact Since it is fixed to the spatula 62 by the adhesive layer 63 etc., depending on the kind of liquid to be applied, the purpose of application, etc., the applicator 61 with the appropriate application member 30 attached is prepared each time. It was stupid. In addition, when the application member 30 was soiled, it was difficult to carry out washing with a machine, and washing was troublesome. In addition, when the application member 30 is damaged due to the components of the solution or repeated use, etc., the entire application tool 61 has to be discarded and replaced with a new one, which is uneconomical. In addition, as described above, since the spatula 62 is hard and the elasticity at the tip is inferior, the application member 30 does not adhere along the coated surface, the usability is poor, and the beautiful finish is difficult. It was hot.
従って、 本発明は、 曲面や凹凸を有する被塗布部材にも密着しやすく、 塗布部材ま たはワイビングクロスを使用目的に応じた複数の塗布部材を用いることができ、 容易 に洗浄することができるうえ、 経済的であり、 用途に応じて各部に適正な素材を用い て、 より使いやすいへら部を構成することができるワイパー兼用塗布具を提供するこ とを目的とする。 発明の開示  Therefore, according to the present invention, it is easy to be in close contact with the application member having a curved surface or unevenness, and a plurality of application members or a plurality of application members according to the purpose of use can be used. It is an object of the present invention to provide a wiper and applicator that is economical, economical, and can use an appropriate material for each part to make it easier to use a spatula part. Disclosure of the invention
本発明は、 把持部と薄板状のへら部とを有し、 前記へら部は先端部に折り返し部が 形成されているとともに少なくとも前記折り返し部が弾性を有していて、 前記折り返 し部の折り曲げ角度が可変であるものとした。  The present invention has a grip portion and a thin plate-like spatula portion, and the spatula portion has a folded back portion at its tip end and at least the folded back portion has elasticity, and the folded back portion The bending angle is variable.
折り返し部を形成することにより、 へら部の剛性が向上して、 被塗布部材に強く押 しっけることができる。 そのうえ、 折り返し部が弾性を有することにより緩衝作用を 有し、 被塗布部材が曲面や凹凸を有していても、 塗布時に適宜折り返し角度を変える ことによって、 へら部が被塗布部材の表面に追随しやすくなり、 弾性を有していない 場合には、 折り返し部と基端部とをばね材で架設することにより、 同様の効果を有す るものとなる。 By forming the folded back portion, the rigidity of the spatula portion can be improved, and the member to be coated can be strongly pressed. In addition, the elastic effect of the folded back part Even if the member to be coated has a curved surface or unevenness, the spatula portion can easily follow the surface of the member to be coated by changing the folding angle appropriately at the time of coating, and it does not have elasticity. The same effect can be obtained by bridging the folded portion and the base end with a spring material.
また、 へら部の外周全体に、 塗布剤を含浸させる布状の塗布部材が着脱自在に装着 されるものとすれば、 塗布する液剤や被塗布部材の種類および塗布目的等に応じて、 塗布部材の材質や厚さ等の種類を替えて同じ塗布具本体を使用することができるうえ、 塗布部材が汚れたり傷んだりした場合には、 塗布部材のみを取り替えて使用すること ができる。 また、 取り外した塗布部材は、 洗濯機で容易に丸洗いできるので、 洗浄作 業が楽であり、 更に使い捨てにしても無駄が少ない。 布状の塗布部材が着脱自由なの で、 使用目的に応じた複数の塗布部材に対して本体は一つで済む。 しかも、 塗布部材 を取り外して容易に洗浄することができるうえ、 傷んだ場合には塗布部材だけを捨て て本体を継続使用することができて経済的である。  In addition, if a cloth-like application member to be impregnated with the application agent is detachably attached to the entire outer periphery of the spatula, the application member may be selected depending on the type of liquid to be applied, the type of application member, and the application purpose. It is possible to use the same applicator body by changing the type of material, thickness, etc. of the same, and when the application member becomes dirty or damaged, only the application member can be replaced and used. In addition, the removed application member can be easily washed in a washing machine, so cleaning work is easy, and there is little waste even if it is disposable. Since the cloth-like application member is freely detachable, only one main body is required for a plurality of application members according to the purpose of use. In addition, the application member can be removed and cleaned easily, and if it is damaged, only the application member can be discarded and the main body can be used continuously, which is economical.
更に、 被塗布部材の材質や用途等に応じて、 へら部を複数枚の板材で形成したり、 基端部と折り返し部とを異なる材質の別体としたりすることにより、 塗布作業の効率 を図ることができる。 尚、 前記塗布部材の代わりに塗布部材と同様なワイビングクロ スを用いることによりワイパーとして用いることができる。  Furthermore, depending on the material and application of the member to be coated, the efficiency of the coating operation can be improved by forming the spatula portion with a plurality of plate materials, or making the base end portion and the folded portion different from different materials. Can be In addition, it can be used as a wiper by using a wiping cloth similar to the application member instead of the application member.
更にまた、 へら部に、 水や塗布剤が通過できるような複数の微細な通孔を設けた場 合には、 余分な水や塗布剤が通孔から裏側へ逃れることができて、 塗布面や被塗布部 材などに溜まらないので、 全体を均一に塗布することができる。 図面の簡単な説明 Furthermore, when a plurality of fine holes are provided in the spatula to allow water and the coating agent to pass through, excess water and the coating agent can escape from the holes to the back side and the coated surface And since it does not collect in the application material etc., the whole can be applied uniformly.
