(Configuration of cleaning body)
Next, the cleaning body 100 will be described with reference to FIGS. The cleaning body 100 is a sheet-like cleaning body having a dirt collecting function for collecting dirt such as dust to be cleaned. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the cleaning body 100 is formed in a rectangular shape in plan view.
This cleaning body 100 is a disposable type that is used once as a guide, or a disposable type that is replaced with multiple uses as a guide while holding dust and dust removed from the surface to be cleaned. It may be of a type that can be used repeatedly after washing or the like.

  In the cleaning body 100, the base 120 is formed by the first sheet body 121. The base 120 has an end 120A on the longitudinal cross direction X, an end 120B on the longitudinal direction Y, one surface 120C, and the other surface 120D. The base 120, the first sheet body 121, the one surface 120C, and the other surface 120D are respectively the “base”, “first sheet body”, “one side”, and “the other side” in the present invention. It is an example.

The fiber assembly 110GF is disposed on one surface 120C of the base 120. A second sheet body 122 is disposed on the other surface 120D of the base 120.
These laminated base 120, fiber assembly 110 </ b> GF, and second sheet body 122 all extend in the longitudinal direction Y in the cleaning body 100.
The fiber aggregate 110GF forms a brush part 110 having a dirt collecting function. This fiber assembly 110GF is an example of the “fiber assembly” according to the present invention. The brush portion 110 is an example of the “brush portion” in the present invention. Note that, as in the cleaning body 100 according to this embodiment, the fiber assembly 110GF disposed on the one surface 120C side of the base 120 is referred to as a first fiber assembly 110GF1. The first fiber aggregate 110GF1 is an example of the “first fiber aggregate” according to the present invention.

The fiber aggregate 110GF is formed by an aggregate of fibers 110SF. In this invention, the fiber 110SF is a single fiber structure composed of typical fibers, or a fiber structure in which typical fibers are aligned in the length direction and / or radial direction (twisted yarn, spun yarn, a plurality of long lengths). A thread material in which fibers are partially connected), or an aggregate of the fiber structure. Here, the “typical fiber” is a structural unit such as a yarn or a woven fabric, and has a length that is sufficiently long compared to the thickness, and is in a thin and flexible form. Typically, long continuous fibers are long fibers (filaments), and short fibers are short fibers (staples).
The fibers 110SF partially include thermoplastic fibers, and each fiber 110SF can be fused (also referred to as “welding”).
The fiber aggregate 110GF is formed by a plurality of fibers 110SG arranged in parallel in a predetermined fiber orientation direction 110D and stacked in the thickness direction Z. In the embodiment of the present invention, the fiber orientation direction 110D substantially coincides with the longitudinal cross direction X. On the other hand, since fiber 110SG is a flexible material, it is easily bent and deformed. Therefore, the fiber orientation direction 110D of the fiber 110SG indicates the fiber orientation in product design.

  The fiber 110SF of the fiber assembly 110GF has a connection end portion 110SFA that is an end portion to be welded to the central joint portion 140. The fiber 110SF has an open end 110SFB that is an end opposite to the connection end 110SFA. The open end 110SFB is a free end.

  In FIG. 3, the fiber assembly 110GF is formed by laminating three fiber layers, but the number of fiber layers may be one or more as necessary. The fiber assembly 110GF preferably has a planar structure with a predetermined plane or curved surface, and is configured as a three-dimensional shape having a certain thickness or a thin sheet shape. The fiber aggregate 110GF is typically made of polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), nylon, rayon, etc., and is practically a long fiber (filament) obtained by opening the tow. ) Is preferably used. In particular, the core portion is preferably made of polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and the sheath portion covering the outer surface of the core portion is preferably composed of a composite fiber of polyethylene (PE) to form the fiber assembly 110GF. . The fineness 110SF of the fibers forming the fiber assembly 110GF is preferably 1 to 50 dtex, more preferably 2 to 10 dtex. In addition, each fiber assembly may be composed of fibers having substantially the same fineness, or each fiber assembly may include fibers having different finenesses.

Moreover, in order to improve the dirt collection function at the time of cleaning, an oil agent is supplied to the fiber assembly 110GF. This oil agent is mainly composed of liquid paraffin.
In addition, in order to improve the sweeping function at the time of cleaning, it is preferable to use a fiber assembly 110GF including a highly rigid fiber 110SF, that is, a fiber 110SF having a high fineness. Moreover, it is preferable that the fiber assembly 110GF includes crimped fibers. A crimped fiber here is comprised as a fiber to which the predetermined winding shrinkage process was provided, and is set as the structure where fibers are easy to get entangled. When such a crimped fiber is used, the fiber assembly 110GF is bulkier than the state before the cleaning body holder 200 is mounted, and a structure in which dust is easily taken into the crimped portion. This structure can be realized in particular by using crimped fibers formed from tow fibers.

As shown in FIG. 5, the second sheet body 122 is a sheet formed of a rectangular nonwoven fabric shorter than the base 120 in the longitudinal direction Y.
As for the nonwoven fabric which comprises the base 120 (1st sheet body 121) and the 2nd sheet body 122, all typically the sheet-like nonwoven fabric which consists of a thermomeltable fiber (thermoplastic fiber) is used. That is, the base 120 and the second sheet body 122 are also referred to as “nonwoven fabric sheets”. In addition, in order to improve the sweeping-out function at the time of cleaning, it is preferable to use a highly rigid nonwoven fabric.
In addition, synthetic fibers, such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET), are used for this nonwoven fabric. Moreover, as a form of a nonwoven fabric, what was formed by the air through method or the spun bond method is used.
On the other hand, even if it is other than a nonwoven fabric, a cloth, a film body made of a synthetic resin, or the like can be used.

  The base 120 and the second sheet body 122 include a central joint 140 that extends along the longitudinal center line YCL of the cleaning body 100 and a plurality of first joints 141 that are located on both sides of the central joint 140. Are welded together. That is, as shown in FIG. 7, the base 120, the second sheet body 122, and the fiber assembly 110 </ b> GF are welded and joined at the central joint 140. Further, the base 120, the second sheet body 122, and a part of the fiber aggregate 110 </ b> GF are welded and joined at the first joint 141. In addition, the 1st junction part 141 located in the both ends side in the longitudinal direction Y is formed in the position where the 2nd sheet | seat body 122 does not exist. Therefore, the 1st junction part 141 located in the both ends in the longitudinal direction Y joins only base 120 and some fiber aggregates 110GF.

A pair of holding spaces 130 extending in the longitudinal direction Y are formed between the base 120 and the second sheet body 122 in a region sandwiched between the central joint 140 and the first joint 141. Yes. In addition, openings 131 are formed at both ends of the holding space 130 in the longitudinal direction Y, respectively. The holding space 130 is an example of the “insertion portion” in the present invention.
In other words, the holding space 130 is formed by a predetermined region of the base 120 between the pair of first joining portions 141 in the longitudinal cross direction X and a predetermined region of the second sheet body 122.

  A plurality of first joining portions 141 are formed continuously along the longitudinal direction Y. On the other hand, the first welded joints 141 adjacent in the longitudinal direction Y do not necessarily need to be arranged in the longitudinal direction Y. The arrangement form of the first welding joint portion 141 can be appropriately designed depending on the design property and the shape of the cleaning body holding portion 220. At this time, of course, the first weld joint 141 can be formed in a continuous line shape.

The above-described central joint 140 and first joint 141 are formed by heat welding.
On the other hand, the joint portion according to the present invention can also be formed by an adhesive such as ultrasonic welding, sewing, or a hot melt adhesive.

In the longitudinal cross direction X, the base portion 120 is formed to have a larger extension length than the brush portion 110. The base portion 120 formed longer than the brush portion 110 is a protruding region 120L. This protruding region 120L is an example of the “protruding region” according to the present invention.
In the embodiment according to the present invention, the first sheet body 121 and the second sheet body 122 have the same length in the longitudinal cross direction.

  In the present invention, it is sufficient that the base 120 forms the protruding region 120 </ b> L with respect to the brush portion 110. That is, although the first sheet body 121 is the base 120, the second sheet body 122 may be the base 120.

(Engagement of cleaning body holder and cleaning body)
Next, the engagement between the cleaning body holder 200 and the cleaning body 100 will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7. As shown in FIG. 6, each holding member 221 can be inserted into the holding space 130. The cleaning body 100 is held by the cleaning body holder 200 by the holding member 221 being inserted into the holding space 130 along the insertion direction Y1. On the other hand, in order to separate the cleaning body holder 200 and the cleaning body 100 engaged with each other, the cleaning body holder 200 is pulled out from the holding space 130 along the pulling direction Y2.

In the engaged state of the cleaning body holder 200 and the cleaning body 100, the convex portion 160 is disposed between the adjacent first joint portions 141. Thereby, the engagement state of the cleaning body holder 200 and the cleaning body 100 is reliably maintained.
In addition, the holding plate 270 holds the second sheet body 122 together with the holding member 221.

(Function)
The operation of the cleaning tool A according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
The user holds the handle 211 of the handle part 210 and brings the cleaning body 100 into contact with the object to be cleaned. As a result, the brush unit 110 can collect or remove dust to be cleaned in the brush unit 110.

  On the other hand, it is assumed that when the user finishes the cleaning operation and removes the cleaning tool A from the object to be cleaned, an operation of twisting the wrist is added. In this case, the cleaning body 100 is inclined with respect to the object to be cleaned. And the edge part area | region on the longitudinal cross direction X in the protrusion area | region 120L contacts the cleaning object as shown in FIG. When the user further returns the wrist from the state of FIG. 8, first, the end region in the longitudinal cross direction X of the brush portion 110 is separated from the object to be cleaned. At this time, the end of the brush portion 110 in the longitudinal cross direction X soars up the dust. On the other hand, since the protruding region 120L is in contact with the object to be cleaned, the dust is prevented from rising.

  In addition, when the user returns the wrist, the same effect can be obtained even if the protruding region 120L is not necessarily grounded.

(Manufacturing process)
Next, a method for manufacturing the cleaning tool A according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. First, before describing the specific manufacturing process, the fiber 110SF forming the fiber assembly 110GF according to the present invention will be described.
FIG. 9 shows a fiber 110SF that forms the fiber assembly 110. Note that the fiber 110SF according to FIG. 9 shows a stationary state in which no external force is applied. Since the fiber 110SF is a crimped fiber, it has a plurality of bent portions 110SFC and has a zigzag shape. The bent portion 110SFC is also called a crimp portion.
The fiber 110SF can be expanded and contracted by having the bent portion 110SFC. FIG. 10 shows a state in which an external force (tension) is applied in opposite directions to both ends of the stationary fiber 110SF. Thus, the fibers 110SF can be extended by separating the distance between the bent portions 110SF. On the other hand, in the state where the external force is released, the fiber 110SF returns from the extended state shown in FIG. 10 to the stationary state shown in FIG.

Here, the base 120 and the fiber assembly 110GF have different elastic elastic modulus. That is, the stretch elastic modulus of the fiber assembly 110GF is higher than the stretch elastic modulus of the base 120. Specifically, the stretch elastic modulus of the fiber assembly 110GF is 75.7%, and the stretch elastic modulus of the base 120 is 56.0%.
In addition, in the measurement of elastic modulus of elasticity, it carried out by the following test.
(1) A test piece of the fiber assembly 110GF and a test piece of the base 120 are prepared. The test piece has a length of 500 mm.
The fiber assembly 110GF used was a tow fiber formed of a core-sheath composite fiber in which polyethylene (PE) is a sheath material and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a core material. This tow fiber has a fineness of 3.5 dtex for one fiber. The fineness of the entire fiber assembly is 110,000 dtex.
The base 120 is a spunbonded nonwoven fabric formed of a core-sheath composite fiber in which polyethylene (PE) is a sheath material and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a core material. This nonwoven fabric has a basis weight of 20 g / m2. The width was 190 mm.
(2) A mark indicating the start and end of a predetermined length is attached in the longitudinal direction of the test piece. This mark indicates a length of 200 mm. The length between the start end and the end end in this state is L0. L0 is 200 mm.
(2) Fix the upper end of the test piece with a clip.
(3) A 5 kg weight is suspended so that a load is applied to the entire width at the lower end of the test piece.
(4) After 30 seconds have elapsed, the length between the start end and the end attached to the test piece is measured. This length is L1.
(5) After the elapse of 30 seconds except for the weight, the length between the start end and the end attached to the test piece is measured. This length is L2.
(6) A value obtained by dividing the difference between L1 and L2 by the difference between L1 and L0 and further multiplying by 100 was taken as the elastic modulus of elasticity.
(7) This test was performed 5 times to obtain an average numerical value.

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the manufacturing process. The manufacturing process includes a first step S11 that is a step of laminating the base 120, the second sheet, and a material that becomes a part of the fiber assembly 110GF, and a step of joining the materials laminated in the first step S11.

As a result, the first fiber aggregate material 110GF1A is disposed on one side of the first sheet material 1211. The second sheet material 1221 is disposed on the other side of the first sheet material 1211.
In the manufacturing process of the present invention, each material is supported by the support roll R and is transferred in the machine direction M by a drive mechanism (not shown).
In addition, the fiber orientation direction 110D of the first fiber assembly material 110GF1A approximately matches the machine direction M.

  FIG. 13 shows the second step S12. In the second step S12, all layers of the second sheet material 1221, the first sheet material 1211, and the first fiber assembly material 110GF1 are welded. At this time, two portions of the predetermined region in the second sheet material 1221, the first sheet material 1211, and the first fiber assembly material 110GF1 are welded. The welded portions form a pair of first joint portions 141.

In the fourth step S14, all layers of the second sheet material 1221, the first sheet material 1211, the first fiber assembly material 110GF1A, and the second fiber assembly material 110GF1B are joined by thermal welding. . This joining operation is performed at an intermediate portion of the pair of first joining portions 141. This welded location forms a central joint 140.

Note that a predetermined tension is applied to the first fiber assembly material 110GF1A over the first step S11 to the fourth step S14. A specific tension is 40N.
As a result, particularly in the second step S12, the first fiber aggregate material 110GF1A to which a predetermined tension is applied is joined to the first sheet material 1211 serving as the base 120. This is an example of the “step of bonding the first fiber assembly to the base in a state where the first fiber assembly 110 is stretched” according to the present invention.

The predetermined tension applied to the first fiber assembly material 110GF1A is applied to stabilize the shape of the first fiber assembly material 110GF1A in order to facilitate manufacture.
Further, this tension is applied to shrink the fiber 110SF of the fiber assembly material 110GF and form the flexible region 120E in the base 120 in the manufacturing process described later.
In this sense, it is sufficient to apply a predetermined tension only to the first fiber assembly material 110GF1A in order to form the deflection region E in the base 120.
This predetermined tension can also be applied to the second fiber assembly material 110GF1B. In this case, the fibers 110SF of the second fiber assembly material 110GF1B also contract in the subsequent manufacturing process. Therefore, the second fiber assembly material 110GF1B does not inhibit the contraction of the first fiber assembly material 110GF1A.
Note that tension is also applied to the first sheet material 1211 and the second sheet material 1221 in order to stabilize the shape. This is related to the present invention, "in the step of joining the first fiber assembly to the base in a state where the first fiber assembly is stretched, a predetermined tension is applied to the base." It is an example.

  FIG. 16 shows the fifth step S15. In the fifth step S15, the second sheet material 1221, the first sheet material 1211, the first fiber assembly material 110GF1A, and the second fiber assembly material 110GF1B are cut at predetermined regions. By this cutting operation, the second sheet material 1221, the first sheet material 1211, the first fiber aggregate material 110GF1A, and the second fiber aggregate material 110GF1B are released from the tension.

FIG. 17 shows the sixth step S16. In the sixth step S16, the fiber 110SF corresponding to the first fiber assembly material 110GF1A released from the tension contracts toward the inner direction 100D2 in the longitudinal cross direction X. As the fiber 110SF contracts, the distance in the longitudinal cross direction X between the pair of joints 141 contracts. Thereby, a protruding region 120 </ b> L is formed in the base 120.
This is the step of “releasing the application of tension to the first fiber assembly according to the present invention, and forming the protruding region in the base by contracting the fiber that has been extended by the tension. Is an example.
Thus, the cleaning body 100 of the cleaning tool A according to the present invention is manufactured.
