Patent number: 8438690Abstract: It is an object of the invention to provide an elongate cleaning element holder which contributes to a smoother cleaning operation, for a cleaning tool in which a cleaning element for cleaning an object to be cleaned is attached to the cleaning element holder. The representative cleaning element holder 120 includes a holding element 132 to be inserted into an insert region of the cleaning element. The holding element 132 has an inclined part 136 wherein a height of the inclined part 136 in a direction transverse to an extending direction of the holding element 132 gradually increases toward the connection.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2009Date of Patent: May 14, 2013Assignee: Uni-Charm CorporationInventors: Yoshinori Tanaka, Masumi Fukuzawa, Masaho Hayashi, Jun Uragami

Publication number: 20120124763Abstract: 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. A hand-held mop 1 includes a mop body 2, a mounting part 10, and a grip 20. The mop body 2 has a pair of mop body portions 2a, and the mounting part 10 has a pair of mounting pieces 11 which are inserted into mounting spaces of the mop body portions 2a, and an insert 15. The grip 20 has a holding side 22 which defines an insert space 22a into which the insert 15 of the mounting part 10 is inserted. Further, a side opening 23 is formed in the holding side 22 of the grip 20, and a side projection 19 is formed on the insert 15 of the mounting part 10 and engaged in the side opening 23.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 21, 2010Publication date: May 24, 2012Applicant: UNI-CHARM CORPORATIONInventors: Yoshinori Tanaka, Masumi Fukuzawa, Tomokazu Suda, Jun Uragami, Toshihiko Uenishi

Patent number: 8156603Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2008Date of Patent: April 17, 2012Assignee: Uni-Charm CorporationInventors: Hajime Tsutanaga, Jun Uragami, Toshihiko Uenishi, Masaho Hayashi, Yoshinori Tanaka

Patent number: 7966688Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2008Date of Patent: June 28, 2011Assignee: Uni-Charm CorporationInventors: Hajime Tsutanaga, Jun Uragami, Toshihiko Uenishi, Masaho Hayashi, Yoshinori Tanaka
