Description

  The present invention relates to a pollen removing apparatus for removing pollen adhered to a body, clothes or the like by going out.

  In recent years, it is said that patients with hay fever tend to increase year by year. However, the symptoms of hay fever are not uniform, and for severe hay fever patients, it may interfere with work and daily life. Various measures have been taken to alleviate the symptoms of the disease.

  In the season when pollen is scattered, pollen is inhaled outdoors, causing symptoms, but not only outdoors, but also by leaving pollen attached to the body, clothes, shoes, etc., pollen is also brought indoors. And even if you are indoors, you will get hay fever symptoms. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent patients with hay fever with a mask or the like outdoors, and to relieve symptoms by preventing pollen from entering indoors as much as possible. Therefore, for example, in a house, it is preferable to reduce the opening and closing of windows so that pollen does not enter, or to sufficiently remove pollen adhering to the body and clothes when returning home.

  Conventionally, as a method of removing pollen adhering to the body and clothes, the pollen adhering to the body and clothes can be removed by tapping with a hand. A common method is to use a handy cleaner or wipe off pollen. However, in these methods, it is necessary to enter the room once with the pollen attached, and it is not possible to completely remove even the pollen attached to a part that is difficult to reach such as the back. Moreover, since there is a possibility that the pollen that has been wiped off will flow into the indoor space and bring in pollen, there has been a demand for a method for removing pollen more effectively.

  Therefore, in order to prevent pollen from being brought indoors, the present applicant has been developing a house that can remove adhering pollen when returning home. Moreover, as a thing which can remove pollen in a house, for example, Patent Document 1 proposes that a dust removal chamber is provided at one corner of a building of an apartment house to prevent the introduction of pollen indoors. Proposed a dust removal room between the entrance and the living room.

This type of dust removal chamber is a sealed space with an air intake and an exhaust port, and the air sucked from the air intake is blown out from the air blowout port so that pollen is blown out and discharged from the exhaust port. Has been. And when returning home, it is intended to prevent pollen from being taken indoors by entering each dwelling unit after passing through a dust removal chamber.
