Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a cleaning tool containing a cleaning agent for removing slime, darkening, bad odor, fungus and the like adhering to a strainer such as a drain outlet of a sink.
[0002]
[Prior art]
This type of cleaning tool containing a cleaning agent is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 7-42814 and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-128090, and a container main body containing a cleaning agent mainly composed of trichloroisocyanuric acid is suspended from a string. The suspension is suspended from the handle of the strainer, and the waste water is taken into the inside through a water passage provided in the container body, and the washing liquid eluted from the cleaning agent is diffused to remove the slime and the like adhering to the strainer.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, these cleaning tools need to be replaced with new ones in about 20 to 40 days. However, the work of attaching and detaching the hanging strap to the handle is very troublesome. Therefore, there has been a problem that the cleaning agent spilled from the water passage sticks to the user's fingers and the skin becomes rough.
[0004]
In addition, if the container body is positioned too high in the strainer, there will be an inconvenient situation where the drainage will hardly hit and a sufficient cleaning effect will not be exhibited, and conversely, the container body will be positioned too low in the strainer. If this is the case, an undesired situation may occur in which the cleaning agent that has eluted to the upper part of the strainer does not spread and the upper part of the strainer cannot be cleaned.
[0005]
The present invention has been made in view of the present situation, and is provided with a cleaning tool containing a cleaning agent that can be easily and safely attached to and removed from the strainer, is held at an appropriate depth position inside the strainer, and exhibits a sufficient cleaning effect. It is to be provided.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
That is, the present invention is a cleaning tool containing a cleaning agent used by being attached to the inside of the strainer, wherein a water-soluble solid cleaning agent and an internal space for storing the cleaning agent are formed, and at least one of a side part and a lower part is formed. A container main body provided with a water passage communicating with the accommodation space, a suspension member that is molded separately from the container main body, and is integrally slidable up and down by a guide portion provided in the container main body, A hook portion that is hooked on an opening portion of the strainer handle or the like is provided on the upper end side, and engages with a locking portion provided on the container body, whereby the container body containing the cleaning agent is placed inside the strainer. A cleaning tool containing a cleaning agent is provided, which includes a suspension member in which a plurality of engaging portions to be maintained at a predetermined depth position are provided along the vertical sliding direction and a suspension member.
[0007]
In such a cleaning tool containing a cleaning agent, the extension length of the suspension member is increased in a plurality of stages by engaging the engagement portion provided on the suspension member with the engagement portion of the container body. The container body containing the cleaning agent can be adjusted and held at an appropriate depth position of the strainer, whereby the drainage can be efficiently circulated through the water passage port, and the strainer's slime etc. Can be reliably removed.
In addition, since the suspension member is formed separately from the container body and has a hook portion at the tip thereof, as described above, the cleaning tool with the length of the suspension member adjusted can be grasped with one touch of the strainer. There is no worry that the cleaning agent will adhere to the hand.
[0008]
Here, the guide portion is constituted by a holding piece protruding from the outer side surface of the container body, and the holding member is slidably supported by the holding piece so as to be slidable up and down, and on the outer surface of the side portion. In the case where a latching portion is provided at a portion where the suspension member abuts, and an engagement portion that engages with the latching portion is provided on a corresponding abutment surface of the suspension member, it is supported by the holding piece. By engaging the engaging part of the hanging member with the engaging part of the container main body, the position adjusting function can be easily realized with a relatively simple structure.
[0009]
And the said latching | locking part was comprised by the protrusion piece contact | abutted to a suspension member, and the engagement convex part or engagement recessed part latched by this protrusion piece was provided in the corresponding contact surface of the said suspension member Is a preferred embodiment, and the user can easily adjust the length.
[0010]
Furthermore, in the case where the engaging claw that is engaged with the lower end edge of the guide portion is provided on the lower end side of the suspension member, the engagement claw prevents the suspension member from falling off from the guide portion, By this engagement, the container main body containing the cleaning agent is held at the lowermost part of the suspension member, and is fixed at a deep position of the strainer.
[0011]
Moreover, if the hook portion provided on the upper end side of the suspension member is configured to have a wide shape that can be hooked on a thick handle provided on a synthetic resin strainer, versatility is improved.
[0012]
Further, the hook portion provided on the upper end side of the suspension member may be configured to have a substantially U-shaped shape that can hold the handle of the fine wire provided on the metal strainer from the side and can be hooked on the handle. good.
[0013]
Further, a hinge portion is provided in the middle portion along the longitudinal direction of the suspension member so that the base end side and the upper end side can be folded together, and the upper end side folded by the hinge portion is engaged with the base end side. In the case where the hook portion is formed by the hinge portion provided with the engaging portion and holding the handle of the strainer, the cleaning tool can be stably attached.
[0014]
In addition, the present invention is a cleaning tool containing a cleaning agent that is used by being installed inside a strainer, wherein a water-soluble solid cleaning agent and an internal space for storing the cleaning agent are formed, and at least one of a side part and a lower part is formed. A container main body provided with a water passage communicating with the housing space, and a hanging part extending upward that is integrally resin-molded with the container main body, the upper end side folded back in the middle part being a base end side There is also provided a cleaning part containing a cleaning agent, and a suspension part formed by providing a plurality of engaging parts to be engaged with each other at intervals in the longitudinal direction.
[0015]
In such a cleaning tool containing a cleaning agent, the suspension part is engaged according to the depth of the strainer by engaging the distal end side folded back in the middle part of the suspension part with an appropriate position on the proximal end side. The container body can be adjusted to an appropriate depth position inside the strainer, which can easily adjust the extension length of the top of the strainer and provides a good cleaning effect without using a conventional hanging strap that is difficult to attach and remove. It can be held with one touch without touching.
[0016]
Further, the container body is provided at a pair of left and right divided containers provided with storage ports for storing the cleaning agent from the side, and at the corresponding opening edge portions of the divided containers, and both the divided containers are bent. In the case of using a synthetic resin integrally formed product composed of a thin hinge part that is freely connected, a fitting means for holding the closed posture of the divided container in which the storage ports are closed to each other, and The number of parts is reduced, and the container body can be supplied at a lower cost.
[0017]
