Abstract

A wiper comprises a rod ( 20 ), a wiping body ( 30 ) provided at one end of the rod and an outer packing; the rod ( 20 ) is of elasticity, the outer packing is a tube-like container ( 10 ) having both ends closed permanently and an easy break-off mark ( 13 ) provided on the tube wall; the wiper is firm, airtight and capable of being opened easily, and can be used conveniently and rapidly; the rod and the tube-like container are made from thermoplastic materials by technologies such as extruding, injection-molding and the like, both ends of the tube-like container are closed through fusion, mechanical seal and other manners, and the wiper has a simple production technology and is suitable for mass production and wide application.

Claims (24)

1. A wiper, comprising:

a rod having a first end and a second end, a wiping body provided at the first end of the rod, and an outer packing, characterized in that said outer packing is a single-piece, elongate, tube-like container made of a high molecular mass polymer material having a uniform transverse cross section, the tube-like container having a first end and a second end;

wherein both the first end and the second end of the elongate tube-like container are fused themselves, respectively, to be closed permanently so as to form a rigid and integral tube-like container without any mechanical fit;

wherein the tube-like container is configured such that it can contain a substance selected from the group consisting of a working fluid, a working powder, and a working ointment;

wherein a tip of the second end of the rod is directly fused to, and thus fixedly coupled with, the first end of the tube-like container without any mechanical fit therebetween;

wherein the tube-like container has a circumferential easy break-off mark on an exterior surface of the tube-like container positioned, in the longitudinal direction, in the middle of the tube-like container, and the circumferential easy break-off mark is away from the wiping body in the longitudinal direction of the tube-like container;

wherein the easy break-off mark is scored on an outer surface of the tube-like container around the circumference of the tube-like container by a cutting tool, wherein the easy break-off mark comprises a sharp cutting edge which is configured to induce an intense stress concentration effect on the easy break-off mark enough to break off the tube-like container of high molecular mass polymer material when a user grasps the two ends of the tube-like container and bends it slightly by force and thus the tube-like container is subjected to a rupturing force;

wherein the tube-like container is configured to be ruptured and separable into a first portion and a second portion along the easy break-off mark, and wherein the ruptured tube-like container will not reseal;

wherein the second end of the rod extends longitudinally from the first end of the tube-like container to beyond the position of the easy break-off mark;

wherein the tube-like container is configured such that, when broken off along the easy break-off mark, the first portion of the tube-like container is separable from the second portion of the tube-like container to expose the wiping body for wiping; and

wherein the wiping body is near or in contact with an inner wall of the tube-like container circumferentially, and the wiping body abuts against the inner wall of the tube-like container when the tube-like container is broken off along the easy break-off mark, thus a flexible deformation of the rod occurs under force without interfering with the breaking-off of the tube-like container and the flexible deformation of the rod is constrained by the inner wall of the tube-like container, and the rod is configured to recover from the flexible deformation after said force that makes it deform is removed.

2. The wiper according to claim 1 , characterized in that said wiping body provided at the first end of the rod is divided into two parts along the axial direction of the rod.

3. A wiper, consisting of:

a rod having a first end and a second end, a wiping body provided at the first end of the rod, and an outer packing, characterized in that said outer packing is a single-piece, elongate, tube-like container made of a high molecular mass polymer material having a uniform transverse cross section, the tube-like container having a first end and a second end;

wherein both the first end and the second end of the elongate tube-like container are fused themselves, respectively, to be closed permanently so as to form a rigid and integral tube-like container without any mechanical fit;

wherein the tube-like container is configured such that it can contain a substance selected from the group consisting of a working fluid, a working powder, and a working ointment;

wherein a tip of the second end of the rod is directly fused to, and thus fixedly coupled with, the first end of the tube-like container without any mechanical fit therebetween;

wherein the tube-like container has a circumferential easy break-off mark on an exterior surface of the tube-like container positioned, in the longitudinal direction, in the middle of the tube-like container, and the circumferential easy break-off mark is away from the wiping body in the longitudinal direction of the tube-like container;

wherein the easy break-off mark is scored on an outer surface of the tube-like container around the circumference of the tube-like container by a cutting tool, wherein the easy break-off mark comprises a sharp cutting edge which is configured to induce an intense stress concentration effect on the easy break-off mark enough to break off the tube-like container of high molecular mass polymer material when a user grasps the two ends of the tube-like container and bends it slightly by force and thus the tube-like container is subjected to a rupturing force;

wherein the tube-like container is configured to be ruptured and separable into a first portion and a second portion along the easy break-off mark, and wherein the ruptured tube-like container will not reseal;

wherein the second end of the rod extends longitudinally from the first end of the tube-like container to beyond the position of the easy break-off mark;

wherein the tube-like container is configured such that, when broken off along the easy break-off mark, the first portion of the tube-like container is separable from the second portion of the tube-like container to expose the wiping body for wiping; and

wherein the wiping body is near or in contact with an inner wall of the tube-like container circumferentially, and the wiping body abuts against the inner wall of the tube-like container when the tube-like container is broken off along the easy break-off mark, thus a flexible deformation of the rod occurs under force without interfering with the breaking-off of the tube-like container and the flexible deformation of the rod is constrained by the inner wall of the tube-like container, and the rod is configured to recover from the flexible deformation after said force that makes it deform is removed.

4. The wiper according to claim 3 , characterized in that said wiping body provided at the first end of the rod is divided into two parts along the axial direction of the rod.
