Shafts 17 and 17 protrude from the inside of each of the fixed frame 5 and the rotating frame 7 near the lower end of the joint.
are rotatably fitted to each other.

Therefore, the bottom plate 12 is rotatably attached to the fixed frame 5 with the shaft 17 of the fixed frame, and the rotating frame 7 is rotatably connected to the bottom plate 12 with its shaft 17. Incidentally, arcuate portions 18 are formed on the fixed frame 5 and the rotating frame 7 at the corners of the portions where the shafts 17 protrude.

Further, a hook 19 is provided to protrude upward from the edge of the bottom plate 12 in a direction perpendicular to a straight line connecting the opposing bearings 15 and 16. A projection 19a is provided at the upper end of each hook 19 to project outward.

Incidentally, a ring-shaped velvet fastener 20 is fixed to the lower surface of the bottom plate 12, as shown by the dotted line in FIG.

On the other hand, a wiping body designated by the reference numeral 4 is formed into a circular shape as a whole, and its diameter is approximately equal to the diameter of the bottom plate 12.

The wiping body 4 has a large number of tufted bodies 22 whose upper ends are fixed to a circular base cloth 21, and a disc-shaped velvet fastener 23 is fixed to the upper surface of the base cloth 21.

Next, a method of using the handy mop according to the present invention constructed as described above will be explained.

When using the handy motsu, the fixed frame 5 and the rotating frame 7 are connected to the side from which the projecting pieces 8 and 10 protrude, that is, the front surface of the fixed frame 5 and the rotating frame 7, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4. The rear edges of the movable frame 7 are butted against each other, and the hemispherical support frame 3 as a whole is open at the bottom.

This open end side is closed by the bottom plate 12.

That is, the bottom plate 12 is arranged horizontally, and the protrusions 19a of the left and right hooks 19, 19 are aligned with the protrusions 9, 1 on the inner surfaces of the fixed frame 5 and the rotating frame 7.
The hooks 19, 19 are fitted into the grooves 9a, 11a of 1 while being elastically deformed.

Therefore, the wiping body 4 is exposed.

In this state, the bottom plate 12 is held by the fixed frame 5 and the rotating frame 7 by the elasticity of the hook 19, and
The two frames 5 and 7 maintain their abutted state due to the presence of the bottom plate 12. As a result, there are no movable parts in this state, and cleaning can be performed via the wiping body 4 by gripping the handle 2.

On the other hand, when the wiping body 4 is exposed when not in use, dirt becomes noticeable and gives a feeling of uncleanliness, so in such a case, the wiping body 4 is housed within the support frame 3.

This operation is performed as follows.

First, force is applied to the rotating frame 7 side to rotate the fixed frame 5 and the rotating frame 7 in a direction in which the upper ends of the rotating frame 7 are separated from each other.

At this time, the bottom plate 12 is rotated around the shaft 17 on the side of the fixed frame 5, and the hook 1 located on the side of the fixed frame 5 is rotated.
9 slips out of the groove 9a of the protrusion 9, and the bottom plate 12 rotates along the inside of the fixed frame 5.

At this time, the rotating frame 7 also rotates, but the bottom plate 12 is attached to the shaft 1.
7, the shaft 17 on the rotating frame 7 side rotates around the shaft 17 on the fixed frame 5 side, and the bottom plate 12 rotates around the shaft 17 on the rotating frame 7 side. It is pushed and rotated.

Eventually, when the hook 19 on the fixed frame 5 side of the bottom plate 12 comes into contact with the protrusion 8 on the fixed frame 5 side, the rotation of the bottom plate 12 is blocked, so if the rotating frame 7 is further rotated, the bottom plate 12 will be The hook 19 on the rotating frame 7 side is attached to the rotating frame 7.
It slips out from the groove 11a of the side protrusion 11.

This state is shown in FIG.

At this time, a part of the wiping body 4 has already begun to be accommodated in the fixed frame 5 together with the bottom plate 12.

If the rotating frame 7 continues to be rotated further, the edge of the rotating frame 7 on the side where the protrusion 11 is formed approaches the edge of the fixed frame 5 on the side where the protrusion 9 is formed and wiped. The body 4 is accommodated within the fixed frame 5 and the rotating frame 7 as shown in FIG.

In this state, the rotating frame 7 is rotated 180 degrees and connected to the lower surface side of the fixed frame 5, and the support frame 3 changes its appearance, with the open end of the hemispherical support frame 3 facing forward.

In addition, when the rotating frame 7 rotates, the fixed frame 5 and the rotating frame 7
Since arcuate portions 18 are formed at the corners of
The rotating frame 7 can rotate smoothly along this arcuate portion 18.

By the way, just before the rotating frame 7 is completely rotated 180 degrees, the left and right hooks 19, 19 of the bottom plate 12 are elastically deformed, so that one hook 19 climbs over the protrusion 8, and the other hook 19 Notch 10 of protruding piece 10
It is hooked by climbing over the protrusion 10 inside a.

In this state, as shown in FIG. 8, the wiping body 4 is completely accommodated within the support frame 3, and the bottom plate 12 is locked to the protrusions 8, 10 of the fixed frame 5 and rotating frame 7 via the hooks 19, and is vertically mounted. It is rotated to a certain state and maintained in this state.

Therefore, the dirty tufted body 22 is not exposed and does not give a feeling of uncleanliness.

When the wiping body 4 is completely housed in this way, the top surface of the bottom plate 12 faces forward and the tip of the hook 19 is housed within the support frame 3.
As shown in FIG. 12, the open end side of the support frame 3 is
If you place it in contact with the top surface of a desk, you can leave it as a decoration on your desk without people noticing that it is a handy motsu.

If you want to use it again, rotate the rotating frame 7 in the opposite direction to the above-mentioned direction, and the shaft 17 on the rotating frame 7 side will rotate.
is rotated together with the bottom plate 12 in the clockwise direction in FIG. When the bottom plate 12 is fitted into the groove 1↑a of 11, the bottom plate 12 is rotated together with the rotating frame 7, so that the hook 19 comes off from the protrusion 8 and the bottom plate 12 becomes horizontal.

Then, the hook 19 is fitted into the groove 9a of the protrusion 9, and the tapered surface 13 of the bottom plate 12 is aligned with the protrusion 9,1.
1, the stepped portion 14 comes into contact with the open end of the support frame 3 and stops, and the wiping body 4 is completely exposed and ready for use.

Although the above-described embodiment employs a structure in which the projecting piece 8 on the fixed frame 5 side is provided at an angle, it may be provided parallel to the projecting piece 10 on the rotating frame 7 side.

Furthermore, the peripheral surfaces of the fixed frame 5 and the rotating frame 7 may be subjected to various decorative treatments.

[Effects] As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, a support frame formed in the shape of a hollow hemisphere as a whole is provided at the tip of the handle, and this support frame is held by a plane orthogonal to the axial direction of the handle. It is divided into two parts, one is a 1/4 spherical fixed frame fixed to the handle side, the other is a 1/4 spherical rotating frame, and both lower ends of the fixed frame and rotating frame are rotated to the bottom plate side. They are movably connected and the wiping body is detachably attached to the underside of the bottom plate. By simply rotating the rotating frame together with the bottom plate, the wiping body is exposed when in use and can be wiped away when not in use. It is possible to obtain an unprecedented handy mop whose body is housed in a support frame and can be placed on a desk also as a decoration without being exposed to the outside.
