DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a washing and drying machine which can be washed without being entangled, and can be dried as it is when washing with a washing machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when washing with a washing machine, the laundry is entangled with each other or the paired socks are separated, which is very inconvenient. In order to eliminate such inconvenience, a stopper for washing socks in pairs (Japanese Utility Model No. 53-2578)
0) Alternatively, a washing float (Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 52-105882) has been reported in which a sock is fixed by providing a band on the float.
However, these methods, although seemingly convenient, have not contributed much to labor saving in that they have to be removed from the appliances and dried after washing. Some washing tools have buoyancy (see 57
The purpose is to wash athletic shoes with low buoyancy. After washing, it is dehydrated as it is and does not have a structure that can be dried immediately.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a laundry and clothes-drying tool that can be dried immediately after washing, even if the laundry is washed in a washing machine.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A washing and drying appliance according to the present invention is provided with a portion for fixing laundry inside a circular frame, and a buoyant body for floating on the surface of the water. Can wash laundry and washing machine without damage,
And made it possible to dry it as it is.

The present invention comprises a circular frame 1, a laundry holding body 2, a support 3 for attaching the holding body, a buoyant body 4, and a hanging portion 5 (FIG. 1). Examples of the laundry holding body 2 include a clothespin, a clip-like stopper, a bag-like net, and the like, which are provided on the support 3 as an integral body or as a separate body. Support 3 for attaching holder
May be any shape as long as it is inside the circular frame, for example, radial (FIG. 1), lattice (FIG. 2), concentric (FIG. 3)
And other shapes. There is no particular limitation on the number of the holders and the mounting positions of the holders. The mounting position of the buoyant body 4 is located outside the circular frame and below the horizontal plane formed by the frame in order to prevent contact between the circular frame and the washing tub or contact between the holder of the laundry and the pulsator. Preferably, it is attached (FIG. 4). The buoyant body may be fixed to a circular frame or may be removable. Further, a washing net can be attached to the buoyant body (FIG. 5). The hanging portion 5 is not particularly limited as long as it has a structure that does not interfere during washing and has a function of catching. In addition, for a washing machine having a structure in which a rotating body protrudes from the center of the washing tub, an inner frame 6 is provided concentrically inside the substantially circular frame 1 so that the inner frame 6 can be inserted into the rotating body. (FIG. 6).

The circular frame 1 and the support 3 are made of plastic or rubber. The buoyant body is not particularly limited as long as it has buoyancy, and examples thereof include plastic, rubber, vinyl, or foamed styrene in which the material itself has buoyancy.

[0007]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The laundry is fixed to a holder for fixing the laundry, and the laundry is put in a washing machine such that the laundry is downward. At this time, if there is other laundry, the laundry is put in first and placed on them for washing (FIG. 7). Rinse and dehydrate as in normal washing (FIG. 8), and take out the dried items.

[0008]

According to the present invention, even if the laundry is washed with a washing machine, the laundry is not broken and becomes entangled.
