SOLUTION: The efficient tool which is capable of drying the quilt or mattress 9 formed to an annular form by connecting both ends 15 and 16 with connectors 17 by rotating a rod to rotate the quilt 9, exposing the quilt uniformly over the entire part and omitting the labor for hanging the half side again even in multiple dwelling houses such as condominiums, narrow spaces or places where have little sunshine duration is provided.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention specifically relates to a power supply unit,
The present invention relates to a rotary futon dryer having a time setting mechanism unit, a drive mechanism unit, a bearing unit, a rod unit, and a frame unit.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, the most common method for hanging a futon is to hang it on a clothesline or a handrail of a veranda. There is also a method of drying with a futon dryer, but this is not comparable to the intention of exposing the futon to natural sunlight. There is also a partition type made of pipe, but it is unsuitable for use in a narrow and limited space because it requires space to be spread and dried.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] It can be said that the act of drying a futon is a culture that has taken root as a healthy lifestyle of Japanese people since ancient times. It is a common sight to see it hanging on the railing and wall of the balcony of an apartment these days.
There is also an efficient aspect that you can dry several futons at a time if you dry it in a row on a handrail etc., but only half of one side is dried and after a certain period of time, the remaining side is turned and dried. The current situation. Currently, in many apartments such as condominiums, it is often prohibited to hang it on the handrail or wall of the balcony due to aesthetic problems. However,
There are various lifestyles such as households with growing children and toddlers, households with sick persons, households only for elderly couples who have passed childcare, etc., depending on the needs of the household at that time.
It seeks to efficiently solve the simple wish of exposing the futon to sunlight for the health of the family.

In a recent housing complex such as a condominium or in a small housing situation, there is little space for drying.

It is difficult to irradiate sunlight evenly on the entire surface of the futon during the limited sunshine hours because of limited conditions.

[0006]

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention solves the problem that when a user tries to hang a futon, or when there is an obstacle in the front, only a part of it is exposed to sunlight by hanging it on a drying rod. This machine is to be solved, and by installing this machine in a place that meets the user's conditions and rotating the rod part, the "loop" -shaped futon that is hung also rotates and can be hung on the handrail or wall of the veranda. In addition, even if there is an obstacle in front of a small place, you can shine sunlight evenly on the entire futon,
It aims to solve the problems of modern housing situations such as smaller spaces and apartments.

[0007]

According to the rotary futon dryer having the above structure, after the drive mechanism section and the frame section are integrally assembled, the futon is hung on the stationary rod section of the apparatus, and both ends of the futon are connected. Then, turn on the power switch, the rod part starts to rotate due to the power of the drive mechanism, the quilt that is hung also rotates simultaneously, and the sunlight shines on the entire futon. By adding it, it can be used more efficiently.

[0008]

According to the present invention, the drive mechanism section includes a power source, a switch, a motor, a timer, and a rod section, and the frame section includes a frame, a leg section, a leg section reinforcement member, and the like. It is a method of assembling and combining with a drive mechanism section.

[0009]

[Embodiment] An embodiment of a rotary futon dryer according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. This machine is an assembly type, and as shown in FIG. 1, the rod portion (2), the drive side bearing (3
a), the non-driving side bearing (3b), the driving part (1), the main body frame part (8), the switch (10), the timer (11) and the like form an external shape.

For the rod portion (2), a pipe whose surface is covered with a non-slip material and which bears the weight of the futon is used.
One end (2a) is mounted on the drive unit side bearing (3a), and one end (2b) is mounted on the non-driving side bearing unit (3b).

As shown in FIG. 2, the driving unit is a motor (1
2), gear (13), power supply (14), switch (1)
0), a timer (11), etc., assembled and integrated with the frame, and has a structure capable of withstanding the weight in a rotating state while fulfilling the function of retaining strength as a whole. However, driving by a motor is an example of implementation.

To make the futon into a “ring” shape, as an example, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a button (15) attached to the upper end and a button (16) attached to the lower end of the duvet.
There is also a method of connecting them with a connecting tool (17) to form a "ring" shape, or putting them in a zipper, tape, or another bag-shaped container with a connecting tool.

[0013]

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, even in a condominium such as a condominium, a narrow space, or a place with limited sunshine hours, this device can irradiate sunlight evenly on the entire futon by rotating the rod portion. It is possible to provide, and since the height is slightly above the handrail of the veranda, it is inconspicuous from the outside and saves space. In many cases, the problem of drying futons in condominiums is causing trouble between residents, and this machine can solve such problems.
