Definitions
- the present invention relates to air blowers in general and in particular to air blowers adapted for drying hanging laundry.
- Wet laundry can be dried either by placing it in a drier machine or by hanging the wet laundry and waiting for it to dry naturally when all the humidity evaporates.
- Drier machine are a practical solution, though not all homes are equipped with drier machines, and drier machines can in some cases deteriorate the fabric due to the excessive heat applied and the movement of the laundry where articles can get tangled together.
- Wet laundry can be hanged outside and when the weather is warm and dry the wet laundry can usually be dry within a day. Some garments though can be adversely affected when exposed to direct sunlight for long periods of time. In addition, not all people have access to outside laundry hanging facilities, and in any case when it rains or is about to rain, laundry is not placed to dry outside.
- Another solution commonly used by many people to dry wet laundry is to use an in-house laundry hanging device.
- Such a device is usually foldable for storage purposes and has the advantage that the laundry is protected from the outside whether.
- Such a laundry hanging device can be used even when it is rainy and humid outside.
- the household has a single laundry hanging device, new laundry cannot be hung to dry until the laundry on the hanging device is dry and ready.
- the present invention thus relates to a foldable air blower for drying humid, hanging laundry on a laundry hanging device, comprising:
- a first air conduit unit comprising a bottom air outlet with a plurality of shutters
- the foldable air blower comprises a heat regulator for selecting the temperature of the air coming out of the air outlet.
- the foldable air blower comprises a speed regulator for selecting the velocity of the air coming out of the air outlet.
- the shutters of the bottom air outlet of each air conduit unit can perform a swinging motion in order to disperse the outgoing air in multiple directions.
- the one or more legs are adapted to hold the foldable air blower 5 to 10 centimeters above hanging laundry. In some embodiments the size of the legs extended from the air blower can be varied according to the user's preferences.
- the foldable air blower comprises one or more air conduit units that can be attached to another air conduit unit, and that can be folded together with the one or more air conduit units when the air blower is not in use.
- each air conduit unit has a top air outlet with a plurality of shutters.
- each air conduit unit has a removable side cover, wherein the side cover can be removed when an air conduit is attached to another air conduit unit, or the side cover can be a closed side cover in order to prevent air exit from the side, or the side cover can be a side cover with shutters in order to enable air outlet from the side of the air conduit unit.
- Fig. 1 is a front view of an embodiment of an air blower of the invention showing the engine unit and two air conduits in a folded position.
- the lower air conduit has air outlets on the bottom and on the side.
- Fig. 2 shows the air blower of Fig. 1 unfolded with air outlets on the bottom of each of the two air conduits and an air outlet on the side of the distal air conduit.
- Fig. 3 shows equipped with shutters.
- Fig. 4 shows the side air outlet of the distal air conduit with its cover open.
- the air conduit can be attached to another air conduit or air can exit through the open air outlet.
- Fig. 5 shows the front side of the air blower showing the engine unit and the two folded air conduits.
- Fig. 6 is a bottom perspective view of the air blower showing 4 legs that can fit a hanging laundry device so that the air blower is placed a short distance above the hanging laundry.
- Fig. 7 is an illustration of an air blower of the invention place on a hanging laundry device. MODES FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
- the present invention relates to a foldable air blower for drying humid, hanging laundry placed on a laundry hanging device.
- the air blower of the invention has at least one air inlet and at least one air outlet. Air is sucked in by an engine unit which also warms the air. Then the air passes through one or more air conduits and exits the one or more air conduits through air outlets placed at the bottom in the direction of the hanging laundry.
- FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of an air blower comprising an engine unit 10 which sucks air (shown as arrows on the left) via an air inlet (not shown). The air is then warmed by the engine unit 10 before the air moves to a first air conduit 20.
- Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of an air blower having two air conduits, a first air conduit 20 attached to the engine unit 10 and a second air conduit 25 folded on top of the first air conduit 20.
- Each air conduit 20, 25 has a bottom air outlet (not shown) from which the warmed air exits in the direction of the humid, hanging laundry to be dried.
- the air exiting the air conduit 20 through the bottom air outlet is illustrated with the arrows pointing down.
- the engine unit 10 has a heat regulator 30 for selecting the temperature of the air exiting the air blower (warmer or colder). In some embodiments the engine unit 10 has a speed regulator 40 for selecting the velocity of the air exiting the air blower (stronger or weaker air stream).
- the distal wall 50 of the air conduit 20 has a side cover, optionally equipped with shutters. If the air blower is left in a folded position, for example, for drying a small quantity of laundry, then if the side cover is equipped with shutters, leaving the shutters open lets hot air exit also from the distal wall 50 as illustrated by the arrows pointing to the right of Fig. 1.
- the air conduit 25 has a distal wall 60 and a proximal wall 70.
- the distal wall 60 can either be permanently open or it can have a removable side cover.
- the removable covers of the distal walls 50, 60 can either be removed and separated from the air blower, or they can be removed and folded to the side of the air blower.
- the proximal wall 70 can optionally have a shutter system.
- Fig. 2 illustrates the air blower in an open position where the 2 air conduits 20, 25 have been unfolded.
- the side covers of the distal walls 50, 60 have been removed so that the two air conduits 20, 25 are joined and form a single interior spacing for moving air.
- the proximal wall 70 becomes the exterior wall of the air blower.
- Fig. 3 illustrates the proximal wall 70 with a side air outlet equipped with a side shutter 80 system such that leaving the side shutters 80 open allows air to exit from the side of the air blower, as illustrated by the arrows pointing to the right on Fig. 2 and the down arrows on Fig. 3.
- the air exiting to the side of the air blower can serve either to dry laundry hung to the side of the air blower and/or to heat the room.
- the side shutters 80 are closed all the air exits from the bottom air outlets (not shown).
- Fig. 4 is a side perspective view of the air blower showing the side cover of the wall 70 in an open position where side shutters 80 have been removed. Air will now exit from the open side 70 of the air blower.
- the invention is not limited by the number of air conduits used.
- the shutters of the bottom air outlet 90 can perform a swinging lateral motion in order to cover a wider range of hanging laundry.
- the swinging motion is operated by an engine which can be either a dedicated engine (not shown) or part of the engine unit 10.
- Fig. 5 is a top perspective view of the air blower.
- the air conduit 25 has an air shown on top. When unfolded, the air outlet will serve as a bottom air outlet 90 of the air blower.
- the engine unit 10 has an air inlet 100 typically equipped with a shutter system, though any air inlet known in the art can be used in the present invention.
- Fig. 6 is a bottom perspective view of the air blower.
- Adaptable legs 110 enable the air blower to be positioned a short distance above the hung laundry on a laundry hanging device.
- the term "leg" as referred to herein should be interpreted in a broad sense as to any element that can enable the air blower to be positioned a short distance above the hanging laundry.
- Fig. 6 shows four legs 110.
- the legs 110 can be removed and placed in preconfigured holes 120 along the bottom of the air blower, in order to adapt the air blower to different hanging laundry devices.
- the legs' 110 position can be changed by moving the legs 110 along a rail, track or any similar setting known in the art in order to change the position of a leg 110.
- the term short distance separating the air blower and the hanging laundry can be 5 to 10 centimeters in some embodiments, though the invention encompasses any range. If the air blower is placed too close to the laundry, for example, less than 1 centimeter, hot air might burn or damage the fabric of the laundry. If the air blower is too far from the humid laundry, for example, more than 75 centimeters away, the efficiency of the air blower will be diminished.
- a leg 110 connects the air blower to a wall such that the air blower can be either attached to a wall or unfolded from the wall to a height that it is a short distance above the hanging laundry.
- the leg 110 is made of a flexible material such as a rope and attached to the top of the air blower.
- the air blower can then be mounted to the ceiling when not in use, and brought down above the drying laundry when in use.
- Fig. 7 is an illustration of an air blower of the invention sitting on top of a laundry hanging device via the air blower's legs 110.
- the legs 110 can be extractable from the air blower, thus their size can be varied. In some embodiments the legs 110 are longer and reach the floor such that the air blower stands independently on the floor and the legs 110 are not in contact with the top of the laundry hanging device.
