Next, the engagement between the cleaning body holder 110 and the cleaning body 140 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 8, each holding member 131 can be inserted into the holding space 180. When the holding member 131 is inserted into the holding space 180, the cleaning body 140 is held by the cleaning body holder 110.

In a state where the cleaning body 140 is held by the cleaning body holder 110, the holding member 131 is disposed across both the first cleaning body area 141 and the second clean body area 142 in the longitudinal cross direction X.
That is, the end portion of the base portion 132 portion of the holding member 131 and the distal end portion 133 are disposed in the second cleaning body region 142. Of the intermediate portion 134 of the holding member 131, the region having the first outermost part 134 </ b> X is disposed in the first cleaning body region 141.

  As a result, when the cleaning body 140 is held by the cleaning body holder 110, the lengths of the strip pieces 143 in the longitudinal cross direction X can be varied. That is, in the region where the holding member 131 is disposed in the second cleaning body region 142, the length of the strip piece 143 in the longitudinal cross direction X is the length of the strip piece 143 formed in the cleaning body 140 in the longitudinal cross direction X. It is the same as the length. On the other hand, in the region where the holding member 131 is disposed in the first cleaning body region 141, the length of the strip piece 143 in the longitudinal cross direction X is the same as that of the strip piece 143 formed in the cleaning body 140. It will be shorter than the length.

That is, the strip 143 in the region where the first outermost part 134X of the holding member 131 is formed can have higher rigidity than the strip in which the holding member 131 is disposed in other regions.
Note that the intermediate portion 134 of the holding member 131 is formed in a curved shape having the first outermost portion 134X as a maximum value. Therefore, in a state where the cleaning body 140 is held by the cleaning body holder 110, the strip portion 143 of the intermediate portion 134 moves from the end portion side strip 143 toward the strip portion 143 on the first outermost 134 X side of the intermediate portion 134, In particular, the rigidity of the strip 143 can be increased.

  Therefore, the user can easily remove dust and dust on the surface to be cleaned with the strip pieces on the first outermost 134X side having high rigidity.

Next, based on FIGS. 9-11, it demonstrates per operation | movement at the time of inserting the cleaning body holder 110 in the cleaning body 140. FIG.
First, as shown in FIG. 9, the cleaning body holder 110 is moved in the insertion direction Y1. And the front-end | tip part 133 of the cleaning body holder 110 is positioned in the opening 181 of the cleaning body 140. FIG.
At this time, the length in the longitudinal cross direction X between the pair of openings 181 is formed to be shorter than the length in the longitudinal cross direction X between the pair of tip portions 133.
Therefore, when the cleaning body holder 110 is moved in the insertion direction in a state where the distal end portion 133 is inserted into the opening 181, the pair of holding members 131 are curved in the inner direction D2.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 10, the first convex portion 137 comes into contact with the welded joint portion 171. In this state, when the cleaning body holder 110 is further moved in the insertion direction Y1, the pair of holding members 131 are bent in the inner direction D2 until the second outermost portion 137X of the first convex portion 137 has passed. And if the 2nd outermost part 137X of the 1st convex part 137 exceeds the welding junction part 171, a pair of holding member 131 will each return to the outer side direction D1.

Here, as shown in FIG. 11, in the state where the first convex portion 137 exceeds the welding joint portion 171, the return operation in the outer direction D <b> 1 in the pair of holding members 131 is regulated by the welding joint portion 171. When the cleaning body holder 110 is further moved in the insertion direction Y1, the pair of holding members 131 operates in a direction that curves in the inner direction D2 up to the first outermost part 134X, and beyond the first outermost part 134X, the outer direction D1. Operates in the direction to return to. Accordingly, the first protrusion 137 performs the same operation.
That is, with the insertion operation of the cleaning body holder 110 in the insertion direction Y <b> 1, the possibility that the first convex portion 137 contacts the weld joint portions 172 and 173 other than the weld joint portion 171 can be reduced.

In addition, when the cleaning body holder 110 is moved in the drawing direction Y2 from the state where the cleaning body holder 110 is held by the cleaning body 140, the operation opposite to the above operation is performed.
That is, after the second convex portion 138 of the cleaning body holder 110 gets over the welded joint portion 171, the pair of holding members 131 operate in the direction of bending in the inner direction D2 until the first outermost portion 134X. If it exceeds the outermost part 134X, it will move in the direction of returning to the outer direction D1. Accordingly, the first protrusion 137 performs the same operation.
Therefore, with the insertion operation of the cleaning body holder 110 in the pulling-out direction Y2, the possibility that the first convex portion 137 contacts the welding joint portions 172 and 173 other than the welding joint portion 171 can be reduced.

  That is, in the cleaning tool 100 according to the present embodiment, when the cleaning body holder 110 is inserted into the cleaning body 140 or when the cleaning body holder 110 is pulled out from the cleaning body 140, the user can perform a smooth operation. It can be done.

  Moreover, according to this embodiment, since the width of the strip 153a of the cleaning target side sheet 153 is smaller than that of the strip 151a of the base sheet 151, the fibers of the fiber assembly 152 are the same as the cleaning target side sheet 153. It becomes possible to realize a structure that is easily entangled with the strip 153a. That is, when the strip 153a on the surface of the cleaning body 140 facing the object to be cleaned is entangled with the fibers, the side of the cleaning body 140 facing the object to be cleaned is further increased in volume. Therefore, the cleaning function for capturing dust and dust is improved. On the other hand, the strip pieces 151 a of the base sheet 151 and the strip pieces 160 a of the holding sheet 160 are less entangled with the fibers of the fiber assembly 152 than the strip pieces 153 a of the cleaning target side sheet 153. Therefore, the strip piece 151 a and the strip piece 160 a can exhibit a dust sweeping function independently of the movement of the fiber assembly 152.

  In the present embodiment, the weld joints 171, 172, and 173 are not only arranged symmetrically with respect to the central weld line 170 but also pass through the center of the central weld line 170 and are perpendicular to the central weld line 170. It is preferable that they are arranged symmetrically with respect to the straight line. According to such a configuration, the holding member 131 can be inserted into the holding space 180 from any opening 181.

  In addition, this invention is not limited only to said embodiment, A various application and deformation | transformation can be considered. For example, the following modifications that apply the above embodiment may be implemented.

(First modification)
Next, a first modification will be described based on FIGS. In addition, the cleaning tool which concerns on a 1st modification differs in the structure of the cleaning body holding | maintenance part 130 in the cleaning body holder 110 compared with the cleaning tool 100 of 1st Embodiment.

  That is, the intermediate part 134 of the cleaning body holding part 130 in the first modified example includes the first elastic member 135 and the second elastic member 136. That is, the first elastic member 135 and the second elastic member 136 are connected to each other on the base 132 side and the distal end 133 side. And in the area | region of the intermediate part of the base 132 and the front-end | tip part 133, it is comprised so that the 1st elastic member 135 and the 2nd elastic member 136 may mutually space apart. As shown in FIG. 13, the first elastic member 135 protrudes below the cleaning body holder 110 (downward in FIG. 13) from the base portion 132 and the distal end portion 133 in the region between the base portion 132 and the distal end portion 133. . On the other hand, the second elastic member 136 protrudes above the cleaning body holder 110 (upward in FIG. 13) from the base portion 132 and the tip end portion 133 in the region.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 12, the first elastic member 135 of one holding member 131 and the first elastic member 135 of the other holding member 131 are close to each other in the region between the base portion 132 and the distal end portion 133. Are arranged to be. In addition, the second elastic member 136 of one holding member 131 and the second elastic member 136 of the other holding member 131 are arranged so as to be separated from each other in the region.

  The intermediate portion 134 configured as described above is configured so that the first elastic member 135 and the second elastic member 136 constituting one holding member 131 are in the region of the intermediate portion between the base portion 132 and the distal end portion 133. Are arranged so as to be most separated in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction. These separation distances are indicated by a separation distance W in the horizontal direction of the cleaning body holder 110 in FIG. 12 and a separation distance D in the vertical direction of the cleaning holder 110 in FIG. Since the first elastic member 135 and the second elastic member 136 are molded of a resin material, the first elastic member 135 and the second elastic member 136 are configured to bend in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction of the cleaning body holder 110 by elastic deformation. Note that the vertical separation distance D in the vertical direction of the cleaning body holder 110, that is, the vertical separation distance D in the initial state of the cleaning body holder 110 is the vertical direction by elastically deforming the first elastic member 135 and the second elastic member 136. It is preferable that the ratio of the first elastic member 135 and the second elastic member 136 to the distance between the first elastic member 135 and the second elastic member 136 is 250% or more.

  As shown in FIG. 12, convex portions 137 and 138 are formed on the side surface of the second elastic member 136. That is, a convex portion 137 is formed on the distal end 133 side of the second elastic member 136, and a convex portion 138 is formed on the base 132 side of the second elastic member 136. These convex portions 137 and 138 are formed in a semicircular shape in plan view.

Next, the engagement between the cleaning body holder 110 and the cleaning body 140 will be described with reference to FIG.
The width of the opening 181 of the holding space 180 is formed to be smaller than the larger one of the left-right direction separation distance W and the up-down direction separation distance D of the first holding member 135 and the second holding member 136. Therefore, in the process of inserting the holding member 131 into the holding space 180, the first elastic member 135 and the second holding member 136 are elastically deformed so as to be close to each other when passing through the opening 181.

  After the first elastic member 135 and the second elastic member 136 pass through the opening 181, the first elastic member 135 and the second elastic member 136 are separated from each other in the intermediate region between the base portion 132 and the distal end portion 133 due to the restoring force. Deform in the direction. That is, it is deformed so as to return to the initial state. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 14, the holding space 180 is expanded in the vertical direction by the first elastic member 135 and the second elastic member 136.

  When the insertion of the holding member 131 into the holding space 180 is completed, the convex portions 137 and 138 are held between the welded joint portions 172. As shown in FIG. 14, the first elastic member 135 pushes the holding sheet 160 upward by the restoring force of the first elastic member 135 and the second elastic member 136, and the second elastic member 136 is a base sheet. Press 151 down. Thereby, the holding member 131 is engaged with the intermediate region 182 in the holding space 180. At this time, the presser plate 139 presses the cleaning body 140 from above, and a locking projection (not shown) provided on the lower surface of the presser plate 139 acts as a retaining member for the cleaning body 140. Thereby, the cleaning body 140 is reliably held by the cleaning body holding part 131. The holding member 130 may be inserted into the holding space 180 from any opening 181 formed at both ends of the cleaning body 140.

  According to the first modified example described above, in a state where the cleaning body 140 is held by the cleaning body holder 110, the cleaning body holding part 130 extends and holds the cleaning body 140 in the vertical direction. That is, the holding member 131 is formed of a first elastic member 135 and a second elastic member 136 that can be elastically deformed, and the cleaning body 140 is moved in the thickness direction by the restoring force of the first elastic member 135 and the second elastic member 136. Has been extended. Therefore, the cleaning body 140 is held in an increased state.

In particular, the bulk of the fiber assembly 152 is increased. The state in which the bulk of the fiber assembly 152 is increased can be defined as a state with a high volume feeling, and can be defined as a “bulky state”, “volume up state”, “space fullness state” or “high bulky degree”. It can also be called "state".
Therefore, it is possible to improve the cleaning effect by increasing the bulk of the fiber assembly 152. Further, by increasing the bulk of the fiber assembly 152, the degree of adhesion to the surface to be cleaned is increased, the stain of the fiber assembly 152 is likely to stand out (is likely to become black), and the user can reliably catch dust. The satisfaction will be increased.

  Further, according to the first modification, the first elastic member 135 and the second elastic member 136 are not only separated in the vertical direction of the cleaning body holder 110 but also separated in the left-right direction of the cleaning body holder 110. ing. That is, the first elastic member 135 and the second elastic member 136 are spaced apart from each other in the thickness direction of the cleaning body 140, and not only hold the cleaning body 140 bulky but also intersect the thickness direction of the cleaning body 140. The cleaning body 140 is secured in the plan view so as to be spaced apart from each other. In other words, the cleaning body 140 is held bulky while suppressing the area in plan view from becoming smaller. Therefore, the cleaning body 140 can be held bulky in a wide range, and the cleaning efficiency can be improved.

  In a state where the cleaning body 140 is held by the cleaning body holder 110, the holding member 131 presses in the direction of expanding the inside of the holding space 180. The holding space 180 is formed between the first insertion region 180 </ b> A formed by the holding sheet 160 and the second insertion region 180 </ b> B formed by the base sheet 151. That is, the first elastic member 135 of the holding member 131 presses the second insertion region 180 </ b> B of the holding space 180. Further, the second elastic member 136 of the holding member 131 presses the first insertion region 180 </ b> A of the holding space 180. As a result, tension is applied to the first insertion region 180A and the second insertion region 180B in the holding space 180. That is, the first elastic member 135 and the second elastic member in the holding member 131 serve as a tension applying unit 190 that applies a predetermined tension to the second insertion region 180B in the holding space 180, in particular. Further, the second elastic member 136 is a first tension applying portion 190A. Further, the first elastic member 135 is a second tension applying member 190B.

On the other hand, the first elastic member 135 is disposed on the inner side in the longitudinal cross direction X than the second elastic member 136. That is, the second tension applying unit 190B is arranged on the inner side in the longitudinal cross direction X than the first tension applying unit 190A.
Accordingly, the second region 180B extends from the second tension applying portion 190B (first elastic member 135) to the first tension applying portion 190A (second elastic member 136) from the bottom to the top (from the bottom to the top in FIG. 13). It is tilted while being tensioned. That is, the second insertion region 180B forms a tension portion 191.

  As a result, the second insertion region 180B is inclined in the direction in which the first insertion region 180A is disposed (upward in FIG. 13). Further, the strip pieces 160a and 151a that are continuous with the second insertion region 180B are also moved in the direction in which the first insertion region 180A is arranged (upward in FIG. 13).

As a result, in the cleaning body 140, the distance between the strip pieces 160a and 151a and the cleaning target side sheet 153 is separated. That is, the area where the cleaning body 140 should come into contact with the object to be cleaned can be increased.
Furthermore, in the cleaning tool 100 having this type of fiber assembly 152, the user may open the fiber assembly 152 by shaking the cleaning tool 100 before use. In the present invention, a region where the fiber assembly 152 is to be opened can be secured. Therefore, the opened state of the fiber assembly 152 is favorable.

  Furthermore, since the cleaning body holding part 130 is formed with two holding members 131 in a bifurcated shape, the area in the plan view of the cleaning body 140 is large when the cleaning body holder 110 holds the cleaning body 140 bulky. It can further be suppressed from becoming smaller.

  Further, according to the first modified example, the first elastic member 135 and the second elastic member 136 are arranged in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction of the cleaning body holder 110 at an intermediate portion located at an equal distance from the base portion 132 and the distal end portion 133. Most distant. Therefore, the cleaning body 140 can be most bulky at the center of the cleaning body 140 held by the cleaning body holder 110. Thereby, the cleaning body 140 can be efficiently held bulky.

  Further, according to the first modification, the holding member 131 is held in the holding space 180 by the restoring force of the first elastic member 135 and the second elastic member 136 when the cleaning body 140 is held by the cleaning body holder 110. Is engaged with the intermediate region 182. That is, the restoring force of the first elastic member 135 and the second elastic member 136 can prevent the cleaning body 140 from coming off the cleaning body holder 110 during cleaning.

(Second modification)
Next, a second modification will be described based on FIGS. The second elastic member 236 has a convex part 237 and a convex part 238. The convex portion 237 is provided on the tip end portion 233 side of the second elastic member 236. The convex part 238 is provided on the base part 232 side of the second elastic member 236.

  The convex portion 237 has an insertion side region 237A provided on the insertion direction Y1 side and a drawing side region 237C provided on the drawing direction Y2 side. Furthermore, the convex part 237 has an intermediate region 237B provided between the insertion side region 237A and the extraction side region 237C. The insertion side region 237A, the intermediate region 237B, and the extraction side region 237C are implementation configuration examples corresponding to the “insertion side region”, “intermediate region”, and “extraction side region” in the present invention.

Next, the structure of the convex part 237 will be described. For convenience, only the structure of the convex portion 237 on the distal end side 233 will be described, but the convex portion 238 on the base portion 232 side can have the same configuration as the convex portion 237.
FIG. 16 shows a state where the cleaning body holder 210 is moved in the insertion direction Y <b> 1 and the holding member 231 of the cleaning body holder 210 is inserted into the holding space 180 of the cleaning body 140.
In this case, the insertion side region 237A of the convex portion 237 comes into contact with the joint portion 171A of the cleaning body 140. A point where the insertion side region 237A first comes into contact with the joint 171A is defined as an insertion start point 237A1. This insertion start point 237A1 is an implementation configuration example corresponding to the “insertion start point” in the present invention.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 17, the cleaning body holder 210 is further moved in the insertion direction Y1 until the insertion side region 237A finally comes into contact with the joint portion 171A. The point where the insertion side region 237A finally comes into contact with the joint portion 171A is defined as an insertion end point 237A2. This insertion end point 237A2 is an implementation configuration example corresponding to the “insertion end point” in the present invention.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 18, the cleaning body holder 210 is further moved in the insertion direction Y1. Then, the joint portion 171A passes through the insertion end point 237A2 and comes into contact with the intermediate region 237B. Further, by moving the cleaning body holder 210 in the insertion direction Y1, the mounting of the cleaning body holder 210 and the cleaning body 140 is completed.

Here, as shown in FIG. 19, a straight line connecting the insertion start point 237A1 and the insertion end point 237A2 is defined as a first convex virtual line L1. A straight line passing through the insertion start point 237A1 and parallel to the insertion direction Y1 is defined as a second convex virtual line L2. The angle formed by the first convex virtual line L1 and the second convex virtual line L2 is defined as a first angle A1.
The first convex virtual line L1, the second convex virtual line L2, and the first angle A1 are the “first virtual straight line”, “second virtual straight line”, and “first angle” in the present invention. It is an implementation structural example corresponding to "."

FIG. 20 shows a state in which the cleaning body holder 210 is moved in the drawing direction Y2 from the state where the cleaning body holder 210 and the cleaning body 140 are mounted.
In this case, the pull-out side region 237C of the convex portion 237 comes into contact with the joint portion 171A of the cleaning body 140. A point where the drawing side region 237C first comes into contact with the joint portion 171A is a drawing start point 237C1. This drawing start point 237C1 is an implementation configuration example corresponding to the “drawing start point” in the present invention.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 21, the cleaning body holder 210 is further moved in the drawing direction Y2 until the drawing side region 237C finally comes into contact with the joint portion 171A. The point where the drawing side region 237C finally comes into contact with the joint portion 171A is defined as a drawing end point 237C2. This drawing end point 237C2 is an implementation configuration example corresponding to the “drawing end point” in the present invention.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 22, the cleaning body holder 210 is further moved in the drawing direction Y2. Then, the joint portion 171A passes through the drawing end point 237C2 and comes into contact with the intermediate region 237B. Further, the cleaning body holder 210 is removed from the cleaning body 140 by moving the cleaning body holder 210 in the drawing direction Y2.

Here, as shown in FIG. 23, a straight line connecting the drawing start point 237C1 and the drawing end point 237C2 is defined as a third convex virtual line L3. A straight line parallel to the drawing direction Y2 passing through the drawing start point 237C1 is defined as a fourth convex virtual line L4. The angle formed by the third convex virtual line L3 and the fourth convex virtual line L4 is defined as a second angle A2.
The third convex virtual line L3, the fourth convex virtual line L4, and the second angle A2 are the “third convex virtual line”, “fourth convex virtual line”, “ It is the implementation structural example corresponding to a "2nd angle".

Here, as shown in FIG. 24, the first angle A1 is configured to be smaller than the second angle A2. This is an implementation configuration example of “the first angle is formed smaller than the second angle” in the present invention.
By configuring the convex portion 237 as described above, when the cleaning body holder 210 is attached to the cleaning body 140, the operation can be smoothly performed. On the other hand, when the cleaning tool 100 is used, the cleaning body holder 210 and the cleaning body 140 are difficult to separate.

(Third Modification)
Next, a third modification will be described based on FIGS. The cleaning body holder 330 of the cleaning body holder 310 according to the third modification is configured by a first elastic member 335 and a second elastic member 336. The second elastic member 336 includes a convex portion 337 on the distal end portion 333 side and a convex portion 338 on the base portion 332 side. The convex portion 337 on the distal end portion 333 side is formed by deforming the distal end portion 333 side of the second elastic member 336 outward.

That is, the convex portion 337 on the distal end portion 333 side of the cleaning body holder 310 according to the third modified example has a second elasticity compared to the convex portion 237 on the distal end portion 133 side of the cleaning body holder 110 according to the second modified example. The boundary between the member 336 and the convex portion 337 is not clear.
Further, with regard to the convex portion 337 having such a structure, there is a problem in particular where the insertion side region 337A of the convex portion 337 starts.

Therefore, how to obtain the “first angle” for the convex portion 337 having such a structure will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 26 shows a state in which the cleaning body holder 310 is moved in the insertion direction Y <b> 1 and the holding member 331 of the cleaning body holder 310 is inserted into the holding space 180 of the cleaning body 340.
In this case, the convex portion 337 comes into contact with the joint portion 171A of the cleaning body 340. A point where the insertion side region 337A first comes into contact with the joint portion 171A is set as an insertion start point 337A1. A portion extending from the insertion start point 337A1 to the intermediate portion 337B is defined as an insertion side region 337A of the convex portion 337.
Thereby, even if it is a structure like the convex part 337, it becomes possible to determine insertion start point 337A1 and insertion end point similarly to the 3rd modification mentioned above. Therefore, the first angle can be determined also in the convex portion 337.

(Fourth modification)
Next, a fourth modification will be described based on FIGS. 27 to 28, only the structure of the second elastic member 436 and the convex portion 437 on the tip end side will be described for the sake of convenience.
As for the convex part 437, insertion side area | region 437A and extraction side area | region 437C are comprised by the straight line. Therefore, the intermediate region 437B has a dot shape.

FIG. 28 shows a state in which the cleaning body holder is moved in the insertion direction Y1, the holding member of the cleaning body holder is inserted into the holding space 180 of the cleaning body 140, and the cleaning body holder is moved in the pulling direction Y2. It is explanatory drawing which shows both the state which pulls out the holding member of a holder from the holding space 180 of the cleaning body 140. FIG.
In the case of the convex portion 437 having such a structure, the insertion end point 437A2 and the drawing end point 437C2 coincide with each other in the intermediate region 437B. On the other hand, even if the insertion end point 437A2 and the drawing end point 437C2 are the same portion in the convex portion 437, there is no problem in obtaining the “first angle” and the “second angle”.

(5th modification)
Next, a fifth modification will be described based on FIGS. 29 to 30, for convenience, only the structure of the second elastic member 536 and the convex portion 537 on the tip end side will be described.
The convex portion 537 has a concave portion 537AA in the insertion side region 537A.

FIG. 30 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a state in which the cleaning body holder is moved in the insertion direction Y <b> 1 and the holding member of the cleaning body holder is inserted into the holding space 180 of the cleaning body 140.
In the case of the convex portion 537, since the concave portion 537AA exists, the contact state between the insertion region 537A and the joint portion 171A is different from the convex portions according to the second to fourth modifications described above.
That is, the joining portion 171A passes through the recess 537AA from the insertion start point (not shown) of the insertion region 537A of the projection 537 to the insertion end point 537A1.
On the other hand, even if the insertion region 537A has the recess 537AA as described above, the insertion end point 537A2 is only the point where the insertion side region 537A comes into contact with the joint portion 171A last. This is the same even when the extraction side region 537C has a recess.
Therefore, even if the convex portion 537 has the concave portion 537AA, there is no problem in obtaining the “first angle” and the “second angle”.

  In the second to fifth modifications based on FIGS. 15 to 30, the description has been made mainly on the configuration of the convex portion on the tip end side. On the other hand, it is needless to say that the configuration of the convex portion on the distal end side described above can be appropriately implemented on the convex portion on the base side.

In the second to fifth modifications based on FIGS. 15 to 30, for convenience, only “joining part 171 </ b> A” has been described as the joining part of the cleaning body that contacts the convex part of the cleaning body holder. On the other hand, when obtaining 1st angle A1 and 2nd angle A2, it is needless to say that it can apply suitably also to the joint of various shapes and the joint of various arrangements.
At this time, for example, depending on the shape of the joint portion in the cleaning body, the arrangement form of the plurality of joint portions, and further the configuration of the intermediate portion of the cleaning body holder, each joint portion continuous in the longitudinal direction is The first angle A1 and the second angle A2 may be different angles.
Thus, when it has several 1st angle A1, let the smallest angle be a "1st angle" which concerns on this invention.
Furthermore, when it has several 2nd angle A2, let the largest angle be a "2nd angle" which concerns on this invention.

  In the above, the cleaning body holder 110 has the two holding members 131 in a bifurcated shape, but may have only one holding member 131 without being formed in a bifurcated shape.
