Description

  In the present invention, a linear body layer in which linear bodies are gathered in a substantially parallel manner and a sheet material are laminated to join the linear body and the sheet material, and the linear body layer constitutes a planar wiping portion. It relates to a wiping material.

  Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 3107183 (Patent Document 1) discloses a base layer having a rectangular upper surface and a lower surface, and a continuous fiber in which fibers are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the length direction of the base layer. At least both ends of the wiping layer in the fiber length direction are joined to the base layer so as to form flared ends that move freely from the base layer. The invention of a composite sheet for cleaning is described.

  In the cleaning composite sheet, since the continuous fibers have a large degree of freedom of movement in the lateral direction, when the continuous fibers rub against the floor surface, it is easy to take dust between the continuous fibers and hold it in the pocket.

However, since the degree of freedom of movement of the continuous fibers in the lateral direction is large, it is relatively easy to drop off the dust that has been taken in at the corners, and the ability to scrape off dust and other dirt adhering to the surface to be cleaned is not sufficient.
Utility Model Registration No. 3107183

  The present invention has been made under the above-described background art, and its purpose is to effectively scrape off dust and other dirt adhering to the surface to be cleaned, and remove dust and the like on the portion to be cleaned. It is possible to provide a wiping material capable of exhibiting an excellent cleaning effect by effectively taking in the linear body layer and effectively preventing the taken-in dust and the like from falling off.

(1) The wiping material of the present invention that achieves the above object,
A linear body layer in which linear bodies are assembled substantially in parallel and a sheet material are laminated, and the linear body and the sheet material constituting the linear body layer are joined, and the linear shape joined to the sheet material. The whole or part of the body layer opposite to the sheet material is a wiping material constituting a planar wiping part,
In the predetermined wiping part which is the whole or a part of the wiping part, the linear body constituting the linear body layer and the sheet material are joined by a large number of joints distributed over the entire surface. And

  In this wiping material, cleaning can be performed by wiping the object to be cleaned by the wiping portion constituted by the linear body layer.

  In the predetermined wiping portion, the linear body and the sheet material constituting the linear body layer are joined together by a large number of joints distributed over the entire surface. Since the peripheral edge of each of these many joints has a scraping effect and an effect of taking in dust into the linear body layer, it effectively removes dust and other dirt adhering to the surface to be cleaned over the entire surface of the predetermined wiping portion. Can be scraped off.

  In addition, between the joints, the linear bodies assembled in a substantially parallel configuration constituting the linear body layer move in the lateral direction (direction intersecting the axial direction of the linear bodies) and move on the portion to be cleaned. Can be effectively taken into the linear body layer, and a large number of joints are distributed over the entire surface of the predetermined wiping portion, so that each linear body constituting the linear body layer is laterally arranged. It is possible to effectively prevent dust or the like taken in due to excessive movement.

  In this way, the dust and other dirt adhering to the surface to be cleaned is effectively scraped over the entire surface of the predetermined wiping portion, the dust on the portion to be cleaned is effectively taken into the linear body layer, the dust that has been taken in, etc. An effective cleaning effect is achieved by effectively preventing the dropout of the material.

  (2) In the wiping material of the present invention, the joint portion may have a closed curve surrounding shape.

  (3) The joint described in (2) above may be provided with a joint outer peripheral part and a non-joint part inside the joint outer peripheral part.

  In this case, the predetermined wiping portion is formed by joining the linear body constituting the linear body layer and the sheet material by the joining outer peripheral portions in a large number of joint portions distributed over the entire surface. Since both the outer peripheral edge and the inner peripheral edge are excellent in scraping effect and dust taking effect into the linear body layer, dust and other dirt attached to the surface to be cleaned are more effectively covered over the entire surface of the predetermined wiping portion. Can be scraped and taken in.

  In addition, inside and outside of each joint outer peripheral portion, the linear bodies gathering in a substantially parallel configuration constituting the linear body layer respectively move in the lateral direction (direction intersecting the axial direction of the linear body) on the portion to be cleaned. Can be effectively taken into the linear body layer, and a large number of joint portions are distributed over the entire surface of the predetermined wiping portion, so that the linear body layer is formed inside and outside each joint outer peripheral portion. It can prevent effectively that the dust etc. which the linear body moved too much in the horizontal direction and taken in fall off. In particular, the captured dust and the like can be effectively held in the non-joined portion inside each joined outer peripheral portion.

  (4) Further, in the wiping material of the present invention, both end sides of the linear body constituting the predetermined wiping portion may form tufted portions without being joined to the sheet material, respectively.

  When cleaning is performed with this wiping material, relatively coarse dust can be entangled by the tuft-shaped portion of the wiping material, and relatively fine dust can be effectively wiped by the wiping portion constituted by the linear body layer.

  (5) Further, the wiping material of the present invention can uniformly include a rigid linear body having higher rigidity than other linear bodies as a part of the linear body constituting the linear body layer.

  In this case, when the rigid monofilament comes into contact with the object to be cleaned, the stuck dirt can be effectively scraped off. When it has a tuft-shaped part, the rigid single fiber in the tuft-shaped part can scrape off dust etc., such as a groove-shaped part, another recessed part, and a corner part.

  (6) Further, in the wiping material of the present invention, the linear body and the sheet material have heat melting properties, and the bonding between the linear body constituting the linear body layer and the sheet material is performed by thermal fusion. It is preferable.

  When the linear body and the sheet material have heat melting properties, the linear body and the sheet material constituting the linear body layer can be easily and reliably joined by thermal fusion.

  (7) Moreover, it is preferable that the wiping material of this invention forms the recessed part in which the said linear body layer was dented in the said sheet material side in the said junction part. In this case, the scraping effect and the dust capturing effect of the peripheral portion of the joint portion in the linear body layer (in the case of the joint outer peripheral portion, the outer peripheral portion and the inner peripheral portion) are enhanced.

  In the wiping material of the present invention, the linear member constituting the linear body layer and the sheet material are joined by a large number of joints distributed over the entire surface in the predetermined wiping part. Effectively scrapes dust and other dirt attached to the surface to be cleaned over the entire surface, effectively takes in the dust etc. on the part to be cleaned into the linear body layer, and effectively prevents the taken-in dust from falling off. With this, an excellent cleaning effect can be obtained.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The drawings all relate to a wiping material as an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 1 is a plan view, and FIG. 2 is a side view showing an attached state. FIG. 3 is a plan view of another embodiment. Reference numerals common to FIGS. 1 to 3 have the same meaning.

  The wiping material A shown in FIG. 1 has a required thickness (in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the drawing in FIG. 1) in which heat-meltable single fibers 10 (linear bodies) having a substantially constant length gather in a substantially parallel shape. And a linear body layer 12 in the form of a planar rectangular layer having a predetermined length (longitudinal direction in FIG. 1), and a length longer than the single fiber 10 as a width and made of a hot-melt fiber having a rectangular shape longer than the predetermined length. It can manufacture using the laminated body which the nonwoven fabric 14 (sheet material) laminated | stacked.

  Of the surface portion (the portion on the side opposite to the nonwoven fabric 14) of the linear body layer 12 of this laminate, the portion excluding both side portions in the direction of each single fiber 10 (left and right direction) is a predetermined wiping portion W (entire wiping portion). Configure. In the predetermined wiping portion W, the single fiber 10 and the nonwoven fabric 14 constituting the linear body layer 12 are formed by a large number of identical circular heat-sealing portions 16 (joining portions) that are uniformly distributed over the entire surface and are independent from each other. Are joined. In each circular heat-sealing part 16, the linear body layer 12 forms the recessed part depressed in the nonwoven fabric 14 side. In addition, the shape of the predetermined wiping part W and the position with respect to the nonwoven fabric 14 do not necessarily need to be symmetrical in the width or length direction.

  Bonding by thermal fusion between the linear body constituting the linear body layer and the sheet material uses a heat roller or a hot plate provided with a projection corresponding to the junction, and the projection is attached to the linear body layer. It can be performed by pressing and heat-sealing the linear body constituting the linear body layer to the sheet material. In addition, a linear body and a sheet | seat material are not restricted to what has heat melting property. Further, the joining of the linear body constituting the linear body layer by the joint portion and the sheet material is not limited to heat fusion, and may be by other means such as an adhesive. Depending on the material, it is also possible to perform bonding using a molten chemical, ultraviolet light, or the like.

  Both ends of the single fiber 10 constituting both outer portions of the predetermined wiping portion W in the linear body layer 12 constitute a tufted portion 18 without being bonded to the nonwoven fabric 14. Both sides of the nonwoven fabric 14 constitute an expanded portion 14a that extends to both sides of the linear body layer 12 in the direction of the single fiber 10.

  Examples of the heat-meltable fibers that constitute the linear body layer 12 or the nonwoven fabric 14 include various synthetic fibers such as polyester, polypropylene, and polyethylene. For example, these fibers may be 0.5 to 5 dtex (preferably 2 to 4 dtex), but are not limited thereto. These fibers may have a dusting agent (for example, by containing, impregnating, externally adding, etc.). The linear body layer 12 has a non-heat-bondable linear body capable of joining the non-heat-meltable linear body and the sheet material by thermal melting of the sheet material and the heat-meltable linear body. May be mixed.

  Each circular heat fusion part 16 has a diameter of 4 mm, the center of the adjacent circular heat fusion part 16 is located at a position 7.5 mm in the length direction from the center, and the adjacent circular heat fusion part 16 in the length direction. Since the center of the circular heat fusion part 16 is located at a position of 7.5 mm in the width direction from the center between the adhesion parts 16, the circular heat fusion part 16 is staggered over the entire surface of the predetermined wiping part W. Evenly distributed. Thereby, each single fiber 10 in the predetermined wiping part W is joined with the nonwoven fabric 14 by the circular heat-sealing part 16 in the vicinity of the both ends and a plurality of places between them.

  The wiping material A is positioned with the linear body layer 12 on the lower surface side of the mop holding plate M for holding the sheet-like cleaning material with the handle H, and the expanded portion 14a of the nonwoven fabric 14 is moped. The wiping material A can be held on the mop holding plate M and the floor surface and the like can be cleaned by the linear body layer 12 by being held by the sheet material holding portion M1 of the holding plate M.

  In cleaning, relatively coarse dust can be entangled by the outer tuft-shaped portion 18 of the linear body layer 12, and relatively fine dust can be wiped by the predetermined wiping portion W.

  Since the peripheral portions of the large number of circular heat-sealing parts 16 distributed and arranged over the entire surface of the predetermined wiping part W each have a scraping effect and an effect of taking up dust into the linear body layer, over the entire surface of the predetermined wiping part W, Dust and other dirt adhering to the surface to be cleaned can be effectively scraped and taken into the linear body layer 12. Moreover, in the part between the circular heat-sealing parts 16 among the predetermined wiping parts W, the single fiber 10 which gathered in the substantially parallel form which comprises the linear body layer 12 is each horizontal direction (vertical direction in FIG. 1). The dust and the like on the portion to be cleaned can be effectively taken into the linear body layer 12, and a large number of circular heat-sealing portions 16 are distributed over the entire surface of the predetermined wiping portion W. It is possible to effectively prevent the single fibers 10 constituting the body layer 12 from moving too much in the lateral direction and dropping off dust and the like taken in.

  Note that the heat-sealed portion may have a closed curve surrounding shape other than a circle (in plan view). Examples thereof include polygons such as ellipses and regular polygons, patterns, characters, etc., but are not limited thereto.

  It is preferable that 80% or more of the inner area surrounded by the closed curve is included in one square having a side of 10 mm, and the heat-sealed portion includes a portion having an area of 80% or more of one circle having a diameter of 3 mm. . In the case of a heat-sealed part of such a size, the dust and other dirt adhering to the surface to be cleaned is scraped over the entire surface of the predetermined wiping part, and the dust etc. on the part to be cleaned is taken into the linear body layer and taken in. The effect of preventing falling off of dust and the like can be further exhibited.

  In the wiping material of the present invention, it is preferable that the area ratio of the heat-fused portion and the non-heat-fused portion in the predetermined wiping portion is 1:10 to 1: 1. The surface to be cleaned over the entire surface of the predetermined wiping portion when the area ratio of the thermal fusion bonding portion to the non-thermal fusion bonding portion in the predetermined wiping portion is 1:10 to 2: 3 (preferably 1: 5 to 2: 3). The dust and other dirt adhering to the surface are scraped off, the dust and the like on the portion to be cleaned are taken into the linear body layer, and the effect of preventing the taken-in dust and the like from falling off can be further exhibited.

  Further, the linear body is not limited to a single fiber but may be a thread or the like, and does not necessarily need to have a certain length. Further, the linear bodies may be entangled to some extent.

  Further, the width of the sheet material does not necessarily need to be longer than the length of the linear body, and the length of the sheet material does not necessarily need to be longer than the length of the linear body layer.

  When the sheet material is a non-woven fabric, it may be a non-woven fabric composed of heat-melting fibers and non-heat-melting fibers and having heat melting properties as a whole. The sheet material is not limited to a non-woven fabric, and may be a heat-meltable synthetic resin sheet material or the like.

  The heat-sealed portion may be distributed in a certain degree of density, in addition to being uniformly distributed over the entire surface of the predetermined wiping portion. Further, the heat-sealed portions do not necessarily have the same shape and size, and large and small heat-welded portions or heat-fused portions having different shapes can be mixed.

  Further, as a part of the single fiber 10 constituting the linear body layer 12, a rigid single fiber (for example, 5 to 100 dtex, preferably 20) having a rigidity about 10 times higher than the other single fibers 10 and a diameter about 10 times thicker. To 60 decitex)). In this case, the rigid monofilaments in the tuft-shaped portion 18 can be efficiently cleaned by scraping off dust and the like such as groove-shaped portions, other concave portions, and corner portions, and wiping them with a predetermined wiping portion W. In addition, the rigid single fiber in the predetermined wiping portion W scrapes off the dirt stuck when it comes into contact with the object to be cleaned, and can be efficiently cleaned by wiping it.

  In the predetermined wiping portion W in the wiping material B shown in FIG. 3, not in the circular heat fusion portion 16 but in a number of identical annular heat fusion portions 20 that are uniformly distributed over the entire surface and are independent from each other. The single fiber 10 and the nonwoven fabric 14 which comprise the linear body layer 12 are joined by the heat sealing | fusion outer peripheral part 20a. In each heat-sealing outer peripheral portion 20a, the linear body layer 12 forms an annular recess that is recessed toward the nonwoven fabric 14 side.

  Each annular heat-sealing portion 20 includes a non-heat-sealing portion 20b having a diameter of 12 mm inside an annular heat-sealing outer peripheral portion 20a having an outer diameter of 15 mm and an inner diameter of 12 mm. The center of the adjacent annular heat fusion portion 20 is located at a position 26 mm in the length direction from the center of each annular heat fusion portion 20, and between the adjacent annular heat fusion portions 20 in the length direction. Since the center of the annular heat-sealing portion 20 is also located at a position 13 mm in the width direction from the center of the annular, the annular heat-sealing portions 20 are evenly distributed in a staggered manner over the entire surface of the predetermined wiping portion W. . Thereby, each single fiber 10 in the predetermined wiping part W is joined to the nonwoven fabric 14 by the annular heat-sealing part 20 in the vicinity of both end parts and a plurality of places between them.

  In this case, the predetermined wiping portion W has a scraping effect and a linear shape in both the outer peripheral edge portion and the inner peripheral edge portion of the heat fusion outer peripheral portion 20a in a large number of annular heat fusion portions 20 distributed over the entire surface. Since the effect of taking in dust into the body layer is excellent, dust and other dirt adhering to the surface to be cleaned can be more effectively scraped and taken into the linear body layer 12 over the entire surface of the predetermined wiping portion W. Further, inside and outside of each heat-sealing outer peripheral portion 20a, the single fibers 10 constituting the linear body layer 12 gathered in a substantially parallel shape move in the horizontal direction (vertical direction in FIG. 3), respectively, and dust on the portion to be cleaned Etc. can be effectively taken into the linear body layer 12 and a large number of annular heat-sealing portions 20 are distributed over the entire surface of the predetermined wiping portion W. It is possible to effectively prevent the single fibers 10 constituting the linear body layer 12 from moving excessively in the lateral direction and dropping off dust and the like taken in. In particular, in the non-heat-sealed portion 20b inside each heat-sealed outer peripheral portion 20a, the captured dust and the like can be effectively retained.

  Also in this example, it is preferable that the area ratio of the heat fusion part and the non-heat fusion part in the predetermined wiping part W is 1:10 to 1: 1, but the area of the heat fusion part in this case is the heat fusion part. It is the area of the outer periphery 20a, and the area of the non-heat-sealed part is the area inside and outside the outer part 20a.

  As in this example, the heat fusion outer peripheral portion and the heat fusion portion including the non-heat fusion portion inside the heat fusion outer peripheral portion are not limited to the annular shape. Examples thereof include, but are not limited to, an ellipse, a polygon such as a regular polygon, a pattern, a character or the like configured in a ring shape. In addition, the heat-sealed portion includes 80% or more of the inner area surrounded by the closed curve included in one square having a side of 20 mm, and has a width of 1 mm to 5 mm (preferably 3 mm or 2 mm or less). It is preferable that a non-heat-sealed portion including a portion having an area of 80% or more of one circle having a diameter of 3 mm is provided on the inner periphery of the outer peripheral portion and the outer periphery of the heat-sealing.

  In the case of a heat-sealed portion having a non-heat-sealed portion inside the heat-sealed outer peripheral portion of such a size, scraping dust and other dirt adhering to the surface to be cleaned over the entire surface of the predetermined wiping portion, Dust and the like on the portion to be cleaned can be taken into the linear body layer, and the effect of preventing the taken-in dust and the like from falling off can be further exhibited.
