DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a broom, and more particularly, to a broom made of plastic which is as flexible and stiff as a conventional bamboo broom, and which is more durable than a conventional bamboo broom. About a broom.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional bamboo broom is obtained by bundling a large number of bamboo twigs as ear materials on one end of a round bamboo as a pattern material. The bamboo bud ears gradually change from relatively thick branches to thinner branches as the bamboo twigs are branched from the bamboo bud pattern material to the tip of the spike. are doing. The bamboo broom having such a structure has not only flexibility but also strength, and also has a function of collecting fine dust and the like. However, there is a problem in that bamboo brooms have no durability such as the tip of the bamboo gradually breaks and falls off as it is used, and it is easily absorbed and deteriorated.

In recent years, plastic brooms having excellent water resistance using plastic wire rods as ear materials have been on the market.

[0004]

However, since the conventional plastic broom spikes are formed by bundling plastic wires of the same shape and size, if they have a flexibility like bamboo broom, It is difficult to have strength at the same time and also have the function of collecting fine dust and the like at the same time. Therefore, even fine dust and relatively large pebbles such as pebbles cannot be removed. Bamboo spikelets are weak to water and inferior in durability.

Further, conventional plastic brooms are not satisfactory in weight and durability because steel pipes or wooden round materials whose handle is coated with a plastic material such as vinyl chloride are used.

Accordingly, the present invention provides a durable and lightweight plastic broom, such as bamboo broom, which has both flexibility and strength, and at the same time has the function of collecting fine dust and the like. The purpose is to provide.

[0007]

In order to solve the above problems, the plastic broom of the present invention has the same diameter.
At least one layer of plastic wire parallel to the plane
One end of the plastic wire is fused
A spike material sheet, comprising the spike material sheet.
Plastic wire rods of the same material and diameter
And three or more different types of ear material sheets for each
More than one kind of ear material sheet is laminated, wound around pattern material and fixed
It is characterized by having been done.

[0008] In the plastic broom of the present invention,
A thick plastic wire can moderately increase the stiffness of ear material, and a thin plastic wire can sweep fine dust and the like.

In the plastic broom of the present invention in which the same plastic wire is combined, a colorant is contained in the originally colorless and transparent plastic wire,
By partially changing the type of the colorant, a plastic broom having a uniform texture and a colorful and excellent design can be obtained.

In the above-mentioned plastic broom of the present invention, since the handle is made of acrylic resin, it is lightweight, has excellent mechanical strength, and has excellent elasticity. Since it is rich in coloring such as transparent coloring, it becomes a plastic broom with a pattern excellent in design.

[0011]

FIG. 1 shows the appearance of a preferred example of the plastic broom of the present invention. 1 is a handle made of acrylic resin, 2 is a plastic ear, 3 is a fastening member for bundling and fixing the plastic ear 2 to the handle 1.

FIG. 2 is an exploded view of FIG. The ear material 2 is an ear material sheet 4 in which plastic wires 5 having the same diameter are arranged in parallel with a plane to have a thickness of at least one layer, and one end side of the plastic wires 5 is fused. Three or more types of ear material sheets 4 which have the same material and differ in diameter for each ear material sheet 4
Is a spike 2 formed by laminating. Such an ear material sheet 4 is wound around one end of the pattern material 1, for example, and the fastening member 3
To form the ear material 2.

[0013]

[0014]

As a material of the plastic wire 5 used for the plastic broom ear material 2 of the present invention, polypropylene is preferable because it has good coloring properties and excellent strength, water resistance and durability. Plastic wires 5 of various diameters can be easily manufactured by extrusion.

A plurality of pins 6 protrude, for example, at right angles to the longitudinal direction of the pattern material 1 at positions of the pattern material 1 to which the ear material 2 is fixed. The pin 6 has a function of preventing displacement when the ear material 2 wound around the pattern material 1 is tightened and fixed.

[0017]

[0018]

The plastic broom of the present invention is a spike made of the same plastic wire material, and its strength is changed by combining three or more types of plastic wire materials from thin to thick. As a result, the spikes have a flexibility similar to bamboo brooms, and at the same time, have strength and a function of collecting fine dust and the like.

The plastic broom of the present invention has less durability and water resistance than the bamboo broom without spikes.

When an ear material sheet formed by fusing one end of a plastic wire is used as the ear material, the ear material does not fall off and the operation of forming the ear material is facilitated.

When a colorant is contained in the spikelets and the type of the colorant is partially changed, the material becomes colorful and excellent in design.

When a plastic pipe is used as the pattern material, further reduction in weight can be achieved. When the pattern material is made transparent or colored and transparent, the design effect is high.
