A sealable opening / closing device is provided in the opening of the bag portion.

According to the clothes drying device of the present invention, the washed clothes are first dehydrated by a dehydrator, the clothes are spread, the drying sheet portion is placed thereon, and the clothes and the drying sheet portion are overlapped. As described above, when the bag is folded to a size that can be stored in the bag portion, the clothing and the dry sheet portion are stored in the bag portion from the opening portion of the bag portion, and the opening portion of the bag portion is sealed with an opening / closing device. Inside, the drying sheet portion in which the desiccant is sealed absorbs the moisture of the clothing which is in close contact with or is in contact with the clothing, so that the washed clothing can be easily dried.

[0006] Therefore, it is useful when it is desired to dry clothes washed on a trip or a business trip, or when it is not possible to dry clothes washed on the sun, such as rainy weather, rainy season, evening, or late at night. Also,
It is also useful as a drying tool for washed clothes that are difficult to dry outside due to women's underwear or hay fever that may be stolen.

The packaging material used in the clothes drying device of the present invention has a moisture-permeable property that allows moisture to pass therethrough.
Anything that can hold the desiccant encapsulated inside can be used.
For example, paper, nonwoven fabric, cloth and the like can be used. As the drying agent, silica gel, activated clay, desicite, activated alumina, calcium chloride, calcium carbonate, a water-absorbing polymer and the like can be used.

The bag portion is preferably made of an aluminum vapor-deposited film having no moisture permeability, a laminate of nylon and a polyethylene film, or a synthetic resin material having a high barrier property. A material having no material can be used, and the opening / closing tool is preferably a zip fastener that easily seals the opening, but a hook-and-loop fastener or a slide fastener can also be used.

Next, the invention according to claim 2 is characterized in that the desiccant in the drying sheet portion is silica gel. According to the clothing drying device of the second aspect, a drying agent based on so-called B-type silica gel among silica gels has a large pore volume, a large absorption capacity, a high moisture absorption performance, and a decrease in the moisture absorption performance. In addition, only by performing the process of drying on the sun, the adsorbed moisture can be desorbed,
Recycling of the desiccant is easy.

Further, silica gel itself is colorless, non-flammable, does not evaporate and scatter, and is harmless to the human body. Therefore, it is safe even if the packaging material is broken and adheres directly to clothing or the human body. In addition, there is no discoloration of clothing. The invention according to claim 3 is characterized in that the drying sheet portion is composed of a main body sheet and an auxiliary sheet having the same configuration and different sizes.

According to the drying device for clothing of the third aspect, the main body sheet and the clothing are overlapped, and the auxiliary sheet is sandwiched between the clothing to increase the contact area with the clothing.
The effect of drying can be enhanced. According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, a plurality of the desiccants are formed by wrapping a nonwoven fabric as a wrapping material for the dry sheet portion, stacking the two nonwoven fabrics, and joining a peripheral portion and a central portion in a lattice shape. Are provided evenly.

According to the drying device for clothing of the fourth aspect, since the packaging material of the drying sheet portion is a non-woven fabric having moisture permeability,
It does not require weaving, is inexpensive, is resistant to abrasion and moisture, and can withstand reuse. In addition, since the desiccant is sealed in the plurality of storage sections provided evenly, the desiccant is not partially biased, so that a part of the clothing that does not adhere or come into contact with the desiccant does not dry.

The invention according to a fifth aspect is characterized in that the bag portion is made of a synthetic resin having no moisture permeability. According to the clothes drying device of claim 5, since the bag does not have moisture permeability, moisture does not enter from the outside into the closed bag, and the dry sheet can absorb only the moisture inside, The effect of drying increases.
