DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a disposable tool for wiping dust or dirt on a floor or a wall.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a tool for improving elasticity (cushioning property) in a thickness direction of a tool of this kind used for cleaning a floor surface of a tree or a plastic sheet, a relatively bulky fiber assembly is used. May be used. To improve the wiping performance of dust and dirt, the fibers may be impregnated with an oil agent as appropriate.

[0003]

The fiber aggregate is bulky,
When the elasticity is high, it is easy to lightly wipe the floor surface, but it becomes difficult to wipe off the dirt on the floor surface.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to make it possible to wipe off dirt even when a relatively bulky fiber aggregate is used in a wiping tool.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is directed to a fiber assembly comprising two long fibers extending in one direction and two short fibers which are mechanically entangled. And the two sheet materials are joined to each other at a portion extending from the periphery of the aggregate, and at least one of the two sheet materials constitutes the aggregate. A disposable wiping tool, wherein the mesh sheet has higher rigidity than fibers, and the mesh diameter of the sheet is in the range of 7/10 to 2/10 of the average fiber length of the aggregate. is there.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The details of a disposable wiping tool according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a disposable wiping tool 1 and a cleaning tool 2 to which it is attached. The cleaning tool 2 has a substrate 3 on which the tool 1 is mounted, and a handle 4. A side edge 7 of the tool 1 abutting on the lower surface of the substrate 3 is folded on the upper surface of the substrate 3, and a clip 8 of the substrate 3 is formed. And is fixed to the upper surface. The cleaning tool 2 in this state includes a handle 4
And use the tool 1 by gently wiping the floor surface.

The tool 1 shown in a perspective view in FIG. 2 is an extension of that shown in FIG. 1, and FIG.
It is an II line end view.

In FIGS. 2 and 3, the tool 1 has a rectangular sheet member 10 made of a hot-melt plastic sheet or a non-woven fabric, and upper and lower surfaces 10A and 10B of the member 10, respectively. Numerous long fibers 25 extending
Fiber layers 25A and 25B made of
The mesh-shaped sheet members 31A and 31B cover 5A and 25B.

The sheet member 10 is folded at the respective side edges 7 extending in the longitudinal direction and is welded at a number of points 15 shown in the figure.

The fiber layers 25A and 25B are obtained by, for example, opening a continuous filament tow made of a thermoplastic synthetic resin to a required width and cutting it to a required length. The long fibers 25 obtained by the cutting extend in the longitudinal direction of the sheet member 10, and both ends are welded to the edge of the sheet member 10 at the joining line 11. They are intertwined to some extent or not at all. The long fiber 25 has a fiber diameter of 2 to 20 denier and a basis weight of 200 to 3,000 g / m ^2.
Is preferred, whereby relatively bulky and flexible fiber layers 25A, 25B are obtained.

The mesh-like sheet members 31A and 31B have a higher rigidity than the long fiber 25, and are formed by knitting filaments or twisted yarns made of a thermoplastic synthetic resin with a fiber diameter of 30 denier or more into a mesh. And a thermoplastic synthetic resin film having a thickness of 0.05 mm or more and having a large number of openings formed therein can be used. The mesh preferably has a diameter in the range of 7/10 to 2/10 of the length of the long fiber 25 and an open area ratio in the range of 30 to 90%. The mesh-like sheet members 31A and 31B are used to
In addition to the welding at the joining line 12 extending in the longitudinal direction, the welding may be performed together with the fiber layer 25 at the joining line 11.

In the tool 1 configured as described above, the fibrous layers 25A, 2A, which are peeped from the mesh of the sheet members 31A, 31B.
With 5B, light dust such as cotton on the floor can be wiped off. In order to improve such wiping performance, the fibrous layers 25A and 25B can be impregnated with an oil agent. When the floor surface is strongly rubbed with the tool 1, the rigid mesh-like sheet members 31A and 31B act to scrape dust from the floor surface, and it becomes possible to collect dust that is difficult to remove with the fiber layers 25A and 25B. .

In the tool 1, the fiber layers 25A and 25B composed of the long fibers 25 can be replaced with a fiber web obtained by treating short fibers with a carding machine. In such a web, the fibers are mechanically entangled with each other to form a bulky aggregate. When such a web is used, the mesh diameter of the mesh-like sheet members 31A and 31B is set to 7/10 to 2/10 of the average fiber length of the web so that the fibers do not easily fall off the mesh. . Sheet member 10
In addition to the two fiber layers of 25A and 25B as shown in the example shown in FIG.
The tool 1 can be used by being directly held in a hand, in addition to being used by being attached to the cleaning tool 2.

[0015]

In the disposable wiping device according to the present invention, the constituent fibers are parallel to each other or mechanically.
Light garbage can be wiped off with a bulky fiber assembly that is only entangled, and a relatively rigid mesh sheet covering this fiber assembly prevents fibers from falling off from this tool, and reduces the floor surface. Can remove garbage.
