PENCIL TYPE CLEANER

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pencil type cleaner which enables cleaning by a brush and cleaning with combination of the brush and air. SOLUTION: The compressed air supplied through an air hose 27 to the pencil type cleaner 4 is blown out through an air passage 31 formed at a pencil type body 30 as an air jet J from the blow-off hole 40 of a nozzle 36. The hair 46 implanted at a flocking ring 44 fitted to the outer periphery of the nozzle 36 extends to the inside of the region of the air jet J when the flocking ring 44 takes an advance position on the front end side of the nozzle 36. The sweeping and cleaning by the hair 46 may be executed alone or the cleaning in combination with the blow-off cleaning by the air jet J is possible as well. The flocking ring 44 exposes the blow-off hole 40 to the outside of the hair 46 in a retreat position and, therefore, the blow-off cleaning by the air jet J is possible.
