For this reason, it was not possible to easily clean a distant part that could not be reached.
[0006] そこで本発明者は先に、柄の部分を伸びるように形成した清掃具の保持部材を提 案している (特願 2002-297845)。図 28Aに示すように、この保持部材 101はグリップ部 102と枝部 103とが結合部 104を介して折り曲げ可能に取り付けられていると共に、図 2 8Bに示すように、グリップ部 102の内部に空隙を設け、該空隙に支持アーム 105を収 容し、支持アーム 105がグリップ部 102に対し長手方向にスライド可能に嵌合している [0006] Therefore, the present inventor has previously provided a cleaning tool holding member formed to extend a handle portion. (Japanese Patent Application 2002-297845). As shown in FIG. 28A, this holding member 101 has a grip portion 102 and a branch portion 103 which are attached to bendable via a connecting portion 104, and as shown in FIG. A gap is provided, and the support arm 105 is accommodated in the gap, and the support arm 105 is slidably fitted to the grip portion 102 in the longitudinal direction.
[0007] この保持部材 101は図 28Bに示すように、グリップ部 102に対し支持アーム 105を長 手方向前方にスライドさせることで、柄が長く延びて枝部 103との間隔が長くなる。そ の結果、枝部 103に取り付けられる拭き取り部とグリップ部 102との距離が長くなり、手 の届力な力つた遠くの場所を容易に拭き取ることができる。 As shown in FIG. 28B, the holding member 101 slides the support arm 105 forward in the longitudinal direction with respect to the grip portion 102, so that the handle extends long and the interval between the handle 103 and the branch portion 103 increases. As a result, the distance between the wiping portion attached to the branch portion 103 and the grip portion 102 is increased, and it is possible to easily wipe a distant place with a reachable force.
[0008] し力しながら、この保持部材を用いた清掃具は、柄が長く延びるものの、家具と家具 の間の如き狭い隙間に清掃具を挿入して清掃する場合、結合部 104が段差となって 厚みを持っているため、枝部 103に取り付けた清掃シートを隙間に挿入した際に結合 部 104が狭い隙間に入らず、そのため隙間の奥の方まで清掃シートを挿入できず、そ の部分の清掃が行なえな 、と 、う問題があった。  [0008] While the cleaning tool using the holding member has a long handle, when the cleaning tool is inserted into a narrow gap such as between furniture and the cleaning is performed, the connecting portion 104 has a step. When the cleaning sheet attached to the branch portion 103 is inserted into the gap, the joining portion 104 does not enter the narrow gap, so that the cleaning sheet cannot be inserted far into the gap. There was a problem that the parts could not be cleaned.
[0009] 本発明は上記課題を解決するためになされたもので、狭い隙間を清掃する際に奥 の方まで充分な清掃能力を発揮できる清掃具及びそれに用いられる保持部材を提 供することを目的とする。  [0009] The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a cleaning tool capable of exerting a sufficient cleaning ability to a deeper position when cleaning a narrow gap and a holding member used for the cleaning tool. And

発明を実施するための最良の形態  BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
[0015] 図 24には、本発明の清掃具の実施形態が示されている。図 1A、 Bは本発明清掃具 に用いる保持部材を示す斜視図であり、図 2は保持部材を分解して示す分解斜視図 である。保持部材 1は、清掃シートを保持するための脚部 2と、該脚部 2を支持固定す る支持アーム 3と、該支持アーム 3をスライド可能に支持する柄部材 4とから構成される 。そして脚部 2は支持アーム 3と実質的に同一平面に位置するように、支持アーム 3の 先端端部に連結されている。即ち、支持アーム 3は、脚部 2よりも上方に突出しない位 置に設けられる。支持アーム 3と脚部 2は一体となって水平方向にスライドするように 設けられる。 FIG. 24 shows an embodiment of the cleaning tool of the present invention. 1A and 1B are perspective views showing a holding member used in the cleaning tool of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view showing the holding member in an exploded manner. The holding member 1 includes a leg 2 for holding the cleaning sheet, a support arm 3 for supporting and fixing the leg 2, and a handle member 4 for slidably supporting the support arm 3. The leg 2 is connected to the distal end of the support arm 3 so as to be substantially flush with the support arm 3. That is, the support arm 3 is provided at a position that does not protrude above the leg 2. The support arm 3 and the leg 2 are provided so as to slide together in a horizontal direction.
[0016] 脚部 2は、二股状に分かれた 2本の平行な保持部 22からなり、脚部 2の端部には、該 脚部 2を支持アーム 3の端部に連結するための連結片 22が設けられている。  The leg 2 is composed of two parallel holding portions 22 that are bifurcated and connected to an end of the leg 2 for connecting the leg 2 to an end of the support arm 3. A piece 22 is provided.
支持アーム 3は、長尺平板状部材力 なるスライド部 31と、前記連結片 22が嵌合す る受け部材 32とからなり、受け部材 32は支持アーム 3の端部に設けられている。  The support arm 3 is composed of a slide portion 31 which is a long flat plate member and a receiving member 32 to which the connecting piece 22 is fitted. The receiving member 32 is provided at an end of the support arm 3.
[0017] 柄部材 4は、図 3に示すように、内部が中空状に形成され前記支持アーム 3のスライ ド部 31を収容可能な空間を有する鞘部 41と、鞘部 41から連接されていると共に該鞘 部 41から上方に突出するように設けられた把持部 42を備えている。鞘部 41の端部に は支持アーム 3のスライド部 31を差し込むための開口部 45が開口している (図 3参照)。  As shown in FIG. 3, the handle member 4 is connected to the sheath 41 that has a hollow interior and has a space in which the slide portion 31 of the support arm 3 can be accommodated. And a grip portion 42 provided to protrude upward from the sheath portion 41. An opening 45 into which the slide 31 of the support arm 3 is inserted is opened at the end of the sheath 41 (see FIG. 3).
[0018] 脚部 2の連結片 22を支持アーム 3の受け部材 32に嵌合固定することにより、脚部 2は 支持アーム 3に連結される。連結片 22と受け部材 32との嵌合を解除することにより、脚 部 2を支持アーム 3より取り外すことができ、このように、支持アーム 3と脚部 2とは、取り 付け取り外し可能に連結される。  The leg 2 is connected to the support arm 3 by fitting and fixing the connecting piece 22 of the leg 2 to the receiving member 32 of the support arm 3. By releasing the connection between the connecting piece 22 and the receiving member 32, the leg 2 can be removed from the support arm 3, and thus the support arm 3 and the leg 2 can be detachably connected. Is done.
支持アーム 3の端部 34を、柄部材 4の鞘部 41の差し込み口 43から鞘部 41内部に挿 入し、支持アーム 3を鞘部 41の内部に収容する。鞘部 41は、支持アーム 3のスライド部 31の全部を収容できる内部空間を有している。支持アーム 3を外方に向けて引っ張る と、支持アーム 3はスライドして鞘部 41内部から外方に飛び出す。このように、柄部材 4からの支持アーム 3の飛び出し長さを伸縮できる構造となっている。 [0019] 支持アーム 3と脚部 2とを取り付け取り外し可能に連結することにより、梱包時或いは 非使用時に、脚部 2を支持アーム 3から取り外すことにより、全体としてコンパクトに収 納でき、保管、流通等の際に便利である。また形状、寸法の異なる複数種類の脚部 を用意しておいて、それらを交換可能に取り付けることができる。この場合、清掃シー トの種類に応じて最適な形状の脚部を選択して使用することができ、各種清掃シート の形状、寸法に対応することができる。 The end 34 of the support arm 3 is inserted into the inside of the sheath 41 from the insertion opening 43 of the sheath 41 of the handle member 4, and the support arm 3 is housed inside the sheath 41. The sheath portion 41 has an internal space that can accommodate the entire slide portion 31 of the support arm 3. When the support arm 3 is pulled outward, the support arm 3 slides out from the inside of the sheath 41. As described above, the structure is such that the length of the support arm 3 protruding from the handle member 4 can be expanded and contracted. [0019] By attaching and detachably connecting the support arm 3 and the leg 2, the leg 2 can be detached from the support arm 3 during packing or when not in use. It is convenient for distribution. In addition, it is possible to prepare a plurality of types of legs having different shapes and dimensions and to replace them. In this case, it is possible to select and use an optimally shaped leg according to the type of cleaning sheet, and it is possible to correspond to the shape and size of various cleaning sheets.
尚、支持アーム 3と脚部 2とを連結一体ィ匕して、両者を分離不可能に設けても差し支 えない。  Incidentally, the support arm 3 and the leg 2 may be integrally connected to each other so as to be inseparable from each other.
[0020] 図 1Aに示す態様は、支持アーム 3のスライド部 31が鞘部 41の内部に収容され、受 け部材 32のみが柄部材 4の前方に露出している状態を示している。即ち、この態様は 柄部材 4からの脚部 2の飛び出し長さが縮んだ状態を示している。  The embodiment shown in FIG. 1A shows a state in which the slide portion 31 of the support arm 3 is accommodated inside the sheath portion 41, and only the receiving member 32 is exposed in front of the handle member 4. That is, this embodiment shows a state in which the protruding length of the leg 2 from the handle member 4 is reduced.
この状態から、支持アーム 31を前方に引っ張ると、支持アーム 3が鞘部 41内をスライ ドして移動し、図 1Bに示すように該支持アーム 3が外方に飛び出す。この態様は柄部 材 4からの脚部 2の飛び出し長さが伸びた状態を示している。  When the support arm 31 is pulled forward from this state, the support arm 3 slides within the sheath 41 and moves, and the support arm 3 protrudes outward as shown in FIG. 1B. This embodiment shows a state in which the protruding length of the leg 2 from the handle member 4 is extended.
[0021] 保持部材を組み立てるには、図 2に示すように、柄部材 4の開口部 45から支持ァー ム 3の端部 34を強く押し込む。支持アーム 3の端部 34に設けられたストッパー 35の横 幅は開口部 45の横幅よりも少し大きく形成されているが、支持アーム 3及び柄部材 4 がプラスチック等の弾性材料で形成されて ヽる場合には、支持アーム 3を強く押し込 むことにより、ストッパー 35が弾性変形するので、支持アーム 3を鞘部 41の内部の空間 に押し込むことができる。  In order to assemble the holding member, as shown in FIG. 2, the end 34 of the support arm 3 is strongly pushed through the opening 45 of the handle member 4. The width of the stopper 35 provided at the end 34 of the support arm 3 is slightly larger than the width of the opening 45. However, the support arm 3 and the handle member 4 are made of an elastic material such as plastic. In this case, the stopper 35 is elastically deformed by strongly pushing the support arm 3, so that the support arm 3 can be pushed into the space inside the sheath 41.
[0022] 保持部材 1を構成する柄部材 4、支持アーム 3、脚部 2の各部材の材料としては、プ ラスチック、金属、木材などを用いることができる力 軽量、安価な点でプラスチックが 好ましい。プラスチックを材料として用いる場合、ポリエチレン系榭脂ゃポリプロピレン 系榭脂等のポリオレフイン系榭脂が、成形が容易である点力も好ま U、。  The material of each of the handle member 4, the support arm 3, and the leg portion 2 constituting the holding member 1 is made of a material capable of using plastic, metal, wood, or the like. . When plastic is used as a material, polyolefin resins such as polyethylene resin and polypropylene resin are preferred because of their ease of molding.
[0023] 清掃シートを取り付けるための脚部 2は、図 14に示すように二股状に分岐形成され た 2つの平行な保持部 21と、脚部 2の基端部に突出形成された連結片 22とから成る。 保持部 21の断面形状は、図 20に示すように略円筒を半分に切った形状に形成され て 、る。なお図中 25は保持部底面側に長手方向に一体的に設けられて 、る補強用リ ブである。 As shown in FIG. 14, the leg 2 for attaching the cleaning sheet includes two parallel holding portions 21 branched in a forked shape, and a connecting piece protruding from the base end of the leg 2. Consists of 22. As shown in FIG. 20, the cross-sectional shape of the holding portion 21 is formed by cutting a substantially cylinder into half. In the drawing, reference numeral 25 is provided integrally on the bottom side of the holding portion in the longitudinal direction, and Is.
[0024] 保持部 21の表面には、長手方向に沿って所定間隔毎に、外方に膨出する凸部 27 が設けられている。この凸部 27は、脚部 2の平面図、底面図及び側面図から明らかな ように (図 14〜図 16参照)、脚部 2の基端部側に向けて次第に膨出するような突起とし て形成されている。  [0024] On the surface of the holding portion 21, convex portions 27 bulging outward are provided at predetermined intervals along the longitudinal direction. As is clear from the plan view, the bottom view, and the side view of the leg 2 (see FIGS. 14 to 16), the projection 27 has a projection that gradually expands toward the base end of the leg 2. It is formed as
清掃シートを保持部材 1に取り付けるため、脚部 2は清掃シートの取付部に差し込ま れるが、清掃時に脚部 2が清掃シートの取付部力も抜け出て、脱落するようなことがあ つてはならない。本発明において、保持部材の脚部 2に形成された複数の凸部 27は 、脚部 2が清掃シートの取付部力 抜け出る方向に係止力が働くよう作用するので、 清掃時に脚部 2が清掃シートの取付部から抜け出て、脱落するおそれはない。  In order to attach the cleaning sheet to the holding member 1, the leg 2 is inserted into the mounting portion of the cleaning sheet, but the leg 2 must not come off due to the force of the mounting portion of the cleaning sheet during cleaning. In the present invention, the plurality of protrusions 27 formed on the leg 2 of the holding member act so that the leg 2 exerts a locking force in a direction in which the force of the mounting portion of the cleaning sheet comes out, so that the leg 2 is cleaned at the time of cleaning. There is no danger of slipping out of the mounting portion of the cleaning sheet and falling off.
また反対に、脚部 2を清掃シートの取付部に差し込むときはスムーズに挿入すること ができる。  Conversely, when the leg 2 is inserted into the mounting portion of the cleaning sheet, it can be smoothly inserted.
[0025] 保持部材 1における保持部 21と連結片 22との間には、図 14に示すように鍔部 12が 設けられている。鍔部 12は、図 16に示すように保持部材 1の上下に設けられている。 そして、図 21に示すように、脚部 2の連結片 22を支持アーム 3の受け部材 32の嵌合凹 溝 38に嵌合した場合に、鍔部 12と受部 32とが面一に当接し、表面に凹凸は生じない  [0025] Between the holding portion 21 and the connecting piece 22 of the holding member 1, a flange portion 12 is provided as shown in FIG. The flanges 12 are provided above and below the holding member 1 as shown in FIG. Then, as shown in FIG. 21, when the connecting piece 22 of the leg 2 is fitted in the fitting groove 38 of the receiving member 32 of the support arm 3, the flange 12 and the receiving portion 32 are flush with each other. Contact, no irregularities on the surface
[0026] 支持アーム 3の受け部材 32は、図 9に示すようにスライド部 31よりも横幅が広く形成さ れ、内部が脚部 2の連結片 22が入る嵌合凹溝 38として形成されている。そして、この 受け部材 32の底面側には、支持アームの連結片 22に設けた突起が嵌るように係止 穴 37が設けられている。図 13に示すように、受け部材 32の嵌合凹溝 38の下面側には 前後方向に走る凸条 11が設けられて 、る。この凸部 11には脚部 2の連結片 22の下面 側に設けた凹溝 23(図 15、図 18参照)が嵌り込むように構成されている。 As shown in FIG. 9, the receiving member 32 of the support arm 3 is formed to be wider than the slide portion 31 and the inside is formed as a fitting concave groove 38 into which the connecting piece 22 of the leg 2 is inserted. I have. On the bottom side of the receiving member 32, a locking hole 37 is provided so that a projection provided on the connecting piece 22 of the support arm is fitted. As shown in FIG. 13, a ridge 11 running in the front-rear direction is provided on the lower surface side of the fitting concave groove 38 of the receiving member 32. The concave portion 23 (see FIGS. 15 and 18) provided on the lower surface side of the connecting piece 22 of the leg portion 2 is configured to fit into the convex portion 11.
[0027] 図 16〜図 19に示すように、保持部材 2の連結片 22に、半球状に下方に凸に形成さ れた係止用の突起 24が設けられている。突起 24は図 15に示すように、その周囲をコ 字状に切り欠いて弾性を持たせた状態に形成されている。図 21に示すように、連結 片 22を支持アーム 3の受け部材 32に設けた嵌合凹溝 38に押し込むと、突起 24は嵌合 凹溝 38の中を通り、受け部材 32に設けた係止穴 37に嵌り込んだ状態で固定される。 その結果、通常の清掃作業等の力が加わった程度では、脚部 2は支持アーム 3から 外れることはないが、少し強い力で引っ張れば、突起 24が弾性変形し係止穴 37から 外れるので、脚部 2を支持アーム 3から取り外すことができる。 As shown in FIG. 16 to FIG. 19, a connecting piece 22 of the holding member 2 is provided with a locking projection 24 formed in a hemispherical shape and projecting downward. As shown in FIG. 15, the protrusion 24 is formed in a state where the periphery thereof is cut out in a U-shape to provide elasticity. As shown in FIG. 21, when the connecting piece 22 is pushed into the fitting groove 38 provided in the receiving member 32 of the support arm 3, the projection 24 passes through the fitting groove 38 and is provided on the receiving member 32. It is fixed in a state fitted in the stop hole 37. As a result, the leg 2 does not come off from the support arm 3 to the extent that normal cleaning work or the like is applied, but if it is pulled with a little strong force, the projection 24 elastically deforms and comes off from the locking hole 37. The leg 2 can be removed from the support arm 3.
[0028] 支持アーム 3は図 8に示すように、長尺に形成されたスライド部 31の前方および後方 の端部付近に、上方に凸に形成された係止ボタン 33が設けられている。係止ボタン 33は図 9に示すように、その周囲をコ字状に切り欠いて形成した弾性板 36の上面に 設けられ、図 11に示すように係止ボタン 33の下方に空隙 Vが設けられ、上方から係止 ボタン 33を下方に押し込み可能とするとともに、手を離したときに係止ボタン 33が上方 に元に戻るように構成されて 、る。  As shown in FIG. 8, the support arm 3 is provided with a locking button 33 that is formed to protrude upward near the front and rear ends of a long slide part 31. As shown in FIG. 9, the locking button 33 is provided on the upper surface of an elastic plate 36 formed by cutting out the periphery of the locking button 33, and a gap V is provided below the locking button 33 as shown in FIG. The locking button 33 can be pushed downward from above, and the locking button 33 returns upward when released from the hand.
[0029] また上述したように、スライド部 31の端部 34にはストッパー 35が設けられている。図 8 および図 9に示すように、ストッパー 35は、スライド部の側面より外方に飛び出す突起 状の形態を有している。このストッパー 35は、支持アーム 3を柄部材 4の鞘部 41から前 方に引き出す方向にスライドさせた際に、支持アーム 3が鞘部 41から抜けて外れるの を防止するためのものである。またスライド部 31の底面側はリブ 39を設けて補強し、肉 抜きしている (図 10、図 12参照)。  [0029] As described above, the stopper 34 is provided at the end 34 of the slide portion 31. As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the stopper 35 has a protruding shape that protrudes outward from the side surface of the slide portion. The stopper 35 is for preventing the support arm 3 from coming off from the sheath 41 when the support arm 3 is slid in the direction of being pulled forward from the sheath 41 of the handle member 4. The bottom of the slide portion 31 is provided with ribs 39 to reinforce and cut out the thickness (see FIGS. 10 and 12).
[0030] 図 3に示すように、柄部材 4は、鞘部 41の前方から後上方に***する連結部 43を介 して把持部 42が設けられ、把持部 42が鞘部 41の後端と連結して 、る形状に形成され て 、るが、該連結部 43を設けずに把持部 42のみが鞘部 4から立ち上がって 、る形状 でもよい。  As shown in FIG. 3, the handle member 4 is provided with a grip portion 42 via a connecting portion 43 that protrudes upward from the front of the sheath portion 41 to the rear, and the grip portion 42 is provided at the rear end of the sheath portion 41. It may be formed in a round shape by being connected to the main body, but may have a round shape in which only the grip portion 42 rises from the sheath portion 4 without providing the connecting portion 43.
[0031] 柄部材 4は図 3に示すように、鞘部 41及び把持部 42及び連結部 43の内部が中空に 形成されている。鞘部 41の内部の空間 Wは、スライド部 31を収容可能な大きさに形成 されている。また柄部材 4には図 4に示すように、スライド部 31の係止ボタン 33が嵌合 する貫通穴 44が設けられて 、る。  As shown in FIG. 3, the handle member 4 has a hollow portion inside the sheath portion 41, the grip portion 42, and the connecting portion 43. The space W inside the sheath portion 41 is formed in a size that can accommodate the slide portion 31. As shown in FIG. 4, the handle member 4 is provided with a through hole 44 into which the locking button 33 of the slide portion 31 is fitted.
[0032] また図 7に示すように、前記貫通穴 44は鞘部 41の上面側に向力つて径が大きくなる ように形成されており、これにより、嵌合した係止ボタン 33を指で容易に押すことがで きる。また図 5に示すように柄部材 4の鞘部 41の底面には、 3箇所に切欠部 46が設けら れている。前述したように、把持部 42は鞘部 41よりも高い位置にあり、図 6に示すよう に把持部 42と鞘部 41との間に手を入れる空間 47を有する。 [0033] 柄部材 4の把持部 42の下面側形状は、図 2、図 3に示す如ぐ手で握り易いように前 後方向に波形の凹凸が設けられている。また特に図示しないが、把持部 42の上面及 び側面を、下面同様に手で握り易いように指の形状に沿った凹凸を設けてもよい。 As shown in FIG. 7, the through-hole 44 is formed so that the diameter thereof increases toward the upper surface of the sheath portion 41 so that the fitted locking button 33 can be pressed with a finger. It can be easily pushed. In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, three cutouts 46 are provided on the bottom surface of the sheath 41 of the handle member 4. As described above, the grip portion 42 is located at a position higher than the sheath portion 41, and has a space 47 where a hand can be put between the grip portion 42 and the sheath portion 41 as shown in FIG. [0033] As shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the lower surface side shape of the grip portion 42 of the handle member 4 is provided with corrugations in the front and rear directions so as to be easily gripped by hand. Although not particularly shown, the upper and side surfaces of the grip portion 42 may be provided with irregularities along the shape of the finger so that the upper and lower surfaces of the grip portion 42 can be easily grasped by the hand, similarly to the lower surface.
[0034] 脚部 2は縦断面が半円形状になるように形成したが、図 22及び図 23に示すように、 縦断面が円形になるように形成してもよい。この場合、抜け防止用の突起 27は円周 全域に設けられる。  [0034] The leg 2 is formed to have a semicircular vertical cross section, but may be formed to have a circular vertical cross section as shown in Fig. 22 and Fig. 23. In this case, the projections 27 for preventing the detachment are provided over the entire circumference.
[0035] 脚部 2は、二股枝状以外の形状に形成してもよい。例えば図 25〜図 27に示すように 、脚部を骨部材を組み合わせた骨格形状に形成してもよい。この脚部は、ミット状の 清掃シートを取り付けるために用いられる。この場合、裏面側に周縁を縁取るようにリ ブ 28が設けられている (図 26参照)。また図 27に示すように、保持部 21に対し連結片 22 が上方に僅かに高 、位置となるように形成されて 、る。  The leg 2 may be formed in a shape other than the forked branch shape. For example, as shown in FIGS. 25 to 27, the legs may be formed in a skeletal shape in which bone members are combined. These legs are used to attach a mitt-shaped cleaning sheet. In this case, a rib 28 is provided on the back side so as to border the periphery (see FIG. 26). Also, as shown in FIG. 27, the connecting piece 22 is formed so as to be slightly higher and higher than the holding portion 21.
[0036] 図 1Aに示す保持部材 1は、支持アーム 3のスライド部 31全部が鞘部 41に収容され た状態であり、前方の係止ボタン 33aが貫通穴 44に嵌合している。この係止ボタン 33a の貫通穴 44に対する嵌合は、清掃の際に保持部材を水平方向に動力した際に外れ ない程度であればよい。前記係止ボタン 33aを下方に押し込みながら支持アーム 3の 受け部材 32を指で摘み前方に引き出すと、支持アーム 3と脚部 2がー体に前方に移 動する。支持アーム 3は、ストッパー 35が鞘部 41の開口部 45にぶつ力るまで引き出す ことができる。支持アーム 3を最大に引き出した状態で、ストッパー 35が開口部 45にぶ つ力り停止するから、支持アーム 3が完全に外れてしまうことはない。そしてこの状態 では図 1Bに示すように、鞘部 41の貫通穴 44には後方の係止ボタン 33bが嵌合して、 清掃の際に支持アーム 3が脚部 2と一体になつて、最大長さの位置に保持されるから 、手の届かないところの清掃作業を確実に行うことができる。柄部材 4力 の脚部 2の 飛び出し長さを縮めるには、同様に、係止ボタン 33bを押して嵌合を外して支持ァー ム 3を鞘部 41内に押し込んで収容する。  The holding member 1 shown in FIG. 1A is in a state in which the entire sliding portion 31 of the support arm 3 is housed in the sheath 41, and the front locking button 33a is fitted in the through hole 44. The engagement of the locking button 33a with the through hole 44 only needs to be such that it does not come off when the holding member is moved in the horizontal direction during cleaning. When the receiving member 32 of the support arm 3 is grasped with a finger and pulled out while pushing the locking button 33a downward, the support arm 3 and the leg 2 move forward to the body. The support arm 3 can be pulled out until the stopper 35 collides with the opening 45 of the sheath 41. When the support arm 3 is pulled out to the maximum, the stopper 35 hits the opening 45 and stops, so that the support arm 3 does not come off completely. In this state, as shown in FIG. 1B, the rear locking button 33b fits into the through hole 44 of the sheath 41, and the support arm 3 is integrated with the leg 2 during cleaning, so that Since it is held at the position of the length, it is possible to reliably perform the cleaning work out of reach. Similarly, in order to shorten the protruding length of the leg 2 with the handle member 4, the engaging button 33 b is pressed to release the fitting, and the support arm 3 is pushed into the sheath 41 and accommodated.
[0037] 脚部 2に装着する清掃シートは、脚部 2に装着及び脱着が可能であって、塵や埃等 を拭き取ることが可能な、モップ、シート等が用いられる。図 24に示すように、清掃シ ート 5は、上側に柄取付部 52が設けられ下側に拭き取り部 51が設けられている。同図 に示すように、柄取付部 52は 2個所の開口部が設けられた袋状に形成されており、保 持部材 1の脚部 2を該柄取付部 52の開口部から挿入することで、清掃シート 5が保持 部材 1に保持され、この状態で清掃具 6として利用することができる。清掃シートが汚 れた場合には、柄取付部 52から取り外して、新しい清掃シートと交換することができる 清掃シート 5としては、多数の繊維をシート様に束ねたシート様繊維束と、一側辺に 短冊状部を有するシートとにより構成されたもの、不織布シートから形成されたもの等 が挙げられる。前記シート様繊維束を構成する繊維としては、例えば綿、毛等の天然 繊維、ポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン、ポリエチレンテレフタレート、ナイロン、ポリアタリ ル等の合成繊維、芯鞘型繊維、海島型繊維、サイドバイサイド型繊維等の複合繊維 等が用いられる。また前記短冊状部を有するシートとしては、紙、合成樹脂シート、不 織布等が挙げられる。前記不織布としては、スパンレース不織布、スパンボンド不織 布、サーマルボンド不織布、エアスルー不織布、ポイントボンド不織布等を用いること ができる。不織布を構成する繊維としては、天然繊維、合成繊維、複合繊維等が挙 げられる。不織布としては、坪量 20〜100g/m2程度のものが好ましい。 As the cleaning sheet to be attached to the leg 2, a mop, a sheet, or the like, which can be attached to and detached from the leg 2 and can wipe off dust and dirt, is used. As shown in FIG. 24, the cleaning sheet 5 has a handle mounting portion 52 on the upper side and a wiping portion 51 on the lower side. As shown in the figure, the handle mounting portion 52 is formed in a bag shape provided with two openings. By inserting the leg 2 of the holding member 1 from the opening of the handle mounting portion 52, the cleaning sheet 5 is held by the holding member 1 and can be used as the cleaning tool 6 in this state. If the cleaning sheet becomes dirty, it can be removed from the handle mounting section 52 and replaced with a new cleaning sheet. The cleaning sheet 5 includes a sheet-like fiber bundle in which a large number of fibers are bundled in a sheet, and one side. Examples thereof include a sheet formed of a sheet having a strip-shaped portion on a side and a sheet formed of a nonwoven sheet. Examples of the fibers constituting the sheet-like fiber bundle include natural fibers such as cotton and wool, synthetic fibers such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, nylon, and polyataryl, core-sheath type fibers, sea-island type fibers, side-by-side type fibers, and the like.
