20080216261 | CLEANING TOOL - A cleaning tool that includes an elongate cleaning element holder and a cleaning element to be attached to the cleaning element holder is provided. The cleaning element holder has a grip to be held by a user and two holding elements extending parallel in a longitudinal direction from the grip. The holding elements are adapted to be inserted into an insert region of the cleaning element to thereby hold the cleaning element. The two holding elements of the cleaning element holder can be rotated in parallel toward each other around a longitudinal axis of the cleaning element holder on a rotation axis disposed between the holding elements. As a result, through the rotation of the two holding elements inserted into the insert region, the sectional shape of the cleaning element can be changed in a direction crossing the longitudinal direction of the cleaning element holder. | 09-11-2008 |
20080216263 | CLEANING TOOL AND CLEANING ELEMENT - A cleaning tool and an effective technique for realizing a higher cleaning effect in the cleaning tool having a cleaning element for wiping a region to be cleaned is provided. A representative cleaning tool for wiping a region to be cleaned includes an elongate cleaning element holder, and a cleaning element having an outer surface which has predetermined dimensions and can extend in a longitudinal direction of the cleaning element holder. The cleaning element is attached to the cleaning element holder. When the cleaning element is attached to the cleaning element holder, the cleaning element is wrapped in a helical form around an outer surface of the cleaning element holder in such a manner that the cleaning element outer surface moves toward the outer surface of the cleaning element holder. | 09-11-2008 |
20080216264 | CLEANING TOOL AND CLEANING ELEMENT - A cleaning tool and an effective technique for realizing a higher cleaning effect in a cleaning tool having a cleaning element for wiping a region to be cleaned is provided. The cleaning tool includes an elongate cleaning element holder and a cleaning element to be attached to the cleaning element holder. The cleaning element holder includes a grip to be held by a user and two holding elements connected to the grip and extending parallel in a longitudinal direction with a predetermined spacing therebetween. The cleaning element includes a sheet element of nonwoven fabric, at least three insert regions demarcated by the sheet element and extending parallel to each other, and a covering part that covers the sheet element and forms a wiping face. The two holding elements extending with the predetermined spacing are inserted into arbitrarily selected two of the at least three insert regions. | 09-11-2008 |
20080235890 | CLEANING ELEMENT AND CLEANING TOOL - It is an object of the present invention to provide effective technique for a higher cleaning effect and higher operability of a cleaning element. According to a representative cleaning tool, bonding thickness of the fusion bonded part | 10-02-2008 |
20120124763 | HANDY MOP - It is an object of the invention to provide a hand-held mop in which a grip connected to a mounting part for mounting and supporting a mop body is prevented from being detached from the mounting part during cleaning operation. | 05-24-2012 |
20120297563 | CLEANING ELEMENT AND CLEANING TOOL - A cleaning element includes a fiber assembly having a plurality of fibers extending in a predetermined direction and a nonwoven fabric disposed on the fiber assembly. A first fusion bonded part extends in a cross direction crossing the predetermined direction to fusion bond the fiber assembly and the nonwoven fabric, and a plurality of second fusion bonded parts formed discontinuously in the cross direction at a lateral side of the first fusion bonded part to fusion bond the fiber assembly and the nonwoven fabric. The first fusion bonded part extends all the way through the fiber assembly in a thickness direction of the cleaning element. The plurality of second fusion bonded parts extend only a part of said fiber assembly in the thickness direction. | 11-29-2012 |
20140075701 | CLEANING ELEMENT AND CLEANING TOOL - It is an object of the present invention to provide effective technique for a higher cleaning effect and higher operability of a cleaning element. According to the representative cleaning element | 03-20-2014 |
20140082872 | CLEANING ELEMENT AND CLEANING TOOL - A cleaning element includes a fiber assembly having a plurality of fibers extending in a predetermined direction and a nonwoven fabric provided on the fiber assembly. A first fusion bonded part extends in a cross direction traversing the predetermined direction to fusion-bond the fiber assembly and the nonwoven fabric, and a plurality of second fusion bonded parts is provided discontinuously in the cross direction to fusion-bond the fiber assembly and the nonwoven fabric. Each of the second fusion bonded parts has a first area and a second area. A length in the predetermined direction from the first fusion bonded part to the first area is different from a length in the predetermined direction from the first fusion bonded part to the second area. | 03-27-2014 |
