Dust catching device

Abstract

A dust catching device according to this invention comprises a dust catching body which is constructed by shuttling in a zigzag form a certain number of split yarns made of synthetic resin or synthetic fibers bundled in a form of a string so as to form a predetermined width. The string has properties of electrifiability or electrostatic chargeability, whereby it has dust attracting power. Warps are woven into the strip of split yarns or fibers formed in the above mentioned manner at both ends as well as two places near the center of the strip, and the woven strip is cut in two along the center line thereof in parallel with the warps. The woven warps are then removed near the center line so as to obtain two continuous, right and left, dust catching bodies. The dust catching device according to this invention is further constructed by tightly coiling the dust catching bodies spirally around a handle stick from one end of the bodies to the other end consecutively, cutting the bodies at desired places, fixing both ends thereof on the handle stick by pins, winding a vinyl tape on the final end and covering the tape with a cover.
