Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to function even in a wet dishcloth hung on pipes and to dry the dishcloth loi thin a short time and always provide a dried sanitary dishcloth by generating a hot wind and releasing it from holes on the pipe on which a dishcloth is hang. SOLUTION: A heat generator 1 processed in a coil or the like, a fan 3 driven with an electrometer 2, a timer circuit 8 and so on are stored inside an outer fence 4. As well, the inside of the outer fence 4 is connected with pipes 6s, on which multiple dishcloths are hung, with a free motion in the left and the right directions through a junction 5. The pipes 6s have multiple holes 7s that open mainly on the lower side. Dishcloths are hung on respective pipes 6, and adequate space is maintained between the dishcloths. In this state, the heat generator 1 is powered, and the electrometer 2 is driven, and the fan 3 sucks air outside, sends a wind, and then a hot wind is produced. The produced hot wind is sent from the junction 5 to each pipe 6 and released downward from the holes 7s of each pipe 6. It then goes through space between the hung dishcloths and dries the dishcloths with efficiency.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cloth dryer for drying a cloth used in a kitchen or a table.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a means for drying a cloth of this kind, there is a cloth cloth comprising a plurality of rods 12 rotatably connected to a main body 11 fixed to a wall as shown in FIG. A cloth is hung on the rod portion 12 and naturally dried. The main body 11 is formed of a synthetic resin, and is fixed to a wall surface with a double-sided tape, a magnet, a screw, or the like. Further, the rod portion 12 is formed of a synthetic resin or metal, and has a structure in which the cloth can be dried while maintaining an appropriate interval by rotating each.

[0003]

A cloth is a necessity for wiping tableware, a kitchen, a table, and the like. In many households, two or three sheets are always on hand. However, it often gets wet immediately after wiping tableware, and after wiping a table etc., it is often washed and dried for sanitary reasons. He did not dry, and he had the inconvenience of being unable to use it even if he had two or three standing at all times.

[0004] Furthermore, during the rainy season or on a rainy day, the humidity is high and the drying time is slow, so that bacteria can easily multiply, and there is a risk of causing hygiene problems.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is to generate hot air and discharge it from a hole in a pipe on which a cloth is hung, thereby drying the cloth in a short time.

[0006]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Inside a housing, a heating element processed into a coil shape, a fan driven by an electric motor, a timer circuit, and the like are housed, and a pipe for hanging a plurality of cloths is provided.
They are connected via a junction so that they can rotate freely in the left-right direction. The pipe has a plurality of holes mainly in the downward direction.

[0007] A cloth width is hung on each pipe, and electricity is supplied to the heating element while maintaining an appropriate interval, and at the same time, the electric motor is driven and the outside air is sucked and blown by a fan to generate warm air. The generated hot air is blown from the junction to each pipe, is discharged downward from a hole in the pipe, passes between the wrapped cloths, and efficiently dries the cloths.

[0008]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of the cloth dryer of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a use state thereof.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a heating element, and a heater wire is wound in a coil shape and held by an insulating material such as mica. Reference numeral 2 denotes an electric motor, and a shaft is connected to a fan 3 molded of polypropylene resin or the like.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a housing, which is formed of an electrically insulating material such as heat-resistant ABS resin, and has a shape in which the heating element 1, the electric motor 2, the timer circuit 8 and the like are housed and which can be fixed to a wall surface with screws or the like. Has become. Also, the timer circuit 8
Is to stop the air supply after a lapse of a certain time after the operation. Further, a switch 9 is attached to the front of the outer case 4.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a junction, which is formed of a heat-resistant ABS resin or the like into a hollow structure, is connected to the outer casing 4 on the side of the heating element 1, and is rotatably connected to the respective pipes 6 while securing air paths. ing. The pipe 6 is formed into a hollow structure with a heat-resistant ABS resin or the like, has one end closed, and has a plurality of holes 7 in a downward direction. Reference numeral 10 denotes a cloth wrapped around the pipe 6.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. FIG.
The cloth width 10 is hooked on each of the pipes 6 as shown in FIG.
After that, when the switch 9 is turned on, the heating element 1 is energized by the operation of the switch 9, and the generated heat is sent to the junction 5 by the fan 3, further blown to each pipe 6, and discharged downward from the hole 7. . The released hot air passes between the cloths 10 and dries the cloths in a short time.

The operation is automatically stopped by a timer circuit 8 when a set time has elapsed.

[0014]

According to the present invention, a heating element and a fan driven by an electric motor are provided, and the structure is such that hot air is discharged from the pipe.
Drying can be performed in a short time of about 10 minutes, and a dry and hygienic cloth can always be used.

Furthermore, since the hole is provided in the lower direction of the pipe, a hot air blows out mainly in the downward direction, and the entire cloth width hung from the top to the bottom can be dried, so that a cloth dryer having excellent drying performance can be provided. Things.
