PRESSING STRUCTURE FOR CLEANING FABRIC AND CLEANING DEVICE USING THE SAME

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce a facility and running costs and to suppress generation of troubles such as damaging or deteriorating the surface of a body to be cleaned. SOLUTION: A pressing section is constituted of a pressing structure 10 in which a fitting section 22 is provided to an end side along the longitudinal direction of a pressing substrate 20, a plate-like member 21 low in hardness is provided to a limited range at the center of the pressing substrate 20 in the longitudinal direction to form a protruded section. The constitution of the pressing section is appropriately selected from among constitutions; the pressing structure is expanded with compressed air; the pressing section is deformed protrudingly toward the surface of the body to be cleaned; the pressing section is molded protrudingly toward the surface of the body to be cleaned. The cleaning fabric is pressed against the surface of the body to be cleaned with the protruded section, causing the surface having sticking objects such as particles or the like stuck thereon not to be hardly pressed due to a cushioning effect. This hardly damages the surface of the body to be cleaned, and allows the pressing force to be applied uniformly and enables accurate positioning of the pressing structure with the cleaning fabric.
