Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to drying futons,
The present invention relates to an all-weather clothes-drying cover used when hanging laundry.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, laundry is usually dried by exposing it to sunlight. However, it takes several hours or half a day for the laundry to dry, and during this time, it is often exposed to a shower, which often causes the laundry to get wet, forcing it to be washed again. This is the same when the futon and the like are dried. In the case of a futon, it is necessary not only to simply dry the damp futon but also to sterilize or kill insects such as bacteria and mites adhering to the futon from sunlight, in which case the influence of the weather is even greater. Becomes

By the way, recently, hay fever has become more and more serious, and it has become a big social problem that pollen and dust flying in the air trigger allergic symptoms. Although such pollen and dust often fly directly to the human body, they often enter the body by adhering to a futon or laundry dried outdoors. It has been unavoidable that pollen and dust adhere to the conventional unprotected laundry and how to dry futon.

Therefore, a technique has been proposed in which a laundry cover is attached so as not to get wet when there is a shower (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-144093). This laundry cover has at least one intake port at the bottom of the sealed first waterproof sheet, at least one opening / closing port with a side opening / closing device attached, and at least one exhaust port at the top. An opening and at least one hook hole are provided, and the exhaust port is covered with a second waterproof sheet.

Thus, the laundry can be protected from sudden rain, wind, dust and pollen, and can be an inexpensive laundry cover without exposing underwear to the public.

However, in this conventional laundry cover, it is necessary to cover the first waterproof sheet having a large number of openings such as the intake port, the opening / closing port, the exhaust port and the hook hole with the second waterproof sheet. Rainwater can easily enter the inside of the 2nd tarpaulin if it is improperly mounted, and conversely, if the 2nd tarpaulin is properly mounted, it is difficult to exhaust moisture, and therefore the drying efficiency is improved. It was bad and had a contradiction that it took a very long time to dry. And the laundry first
It is an unexpectedly troublesome work to store the inside of the waterproof sheet, and since the second waterproof sheet is also covered, the annoyance is doubled. Because of the troublesome work of the laundry cover, I got tired of it in a relatively short time,
It will no longer be used.

Next, in order to improve such low drying efficiency, a drying cover having air permeability was proposed (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-788). This conventional drying cover is made of a very fine mesh-like polyolefin fiber and is a bag-shaped long-fiber non-woven fabric that is both waterproof and breathable, and can be put on a shoe storage rack placed on a veranda or the like. Thus, the stored shoes or the like can be quickly dried without exposing them to direct sunlight, or the futon can be dried in a futon bag provided with fasteners or fasteners.

[0008] This conventional drying cover can be dried under the sun without damaging, fading or losing the shape of the fabric, such as shoes and clothes that need to be shaded.
In addition, pollen and dust harmful to the human body can be prevented from entering, and the bedding can be dried hygienically. Furthermore, it prevents rain from entering and allows you to dry your laundry without worrying about rain.

[0009]

[Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-14409
The laundry cover proposed in Japanese Patent No. 3 can protect the laundry from rain, wind, dust and pollen, and can be an inexpensive laundry cover without exposing underwear to the public, but it has a large number of openings. Since it is necessary to cover the first tarpaulin provided with the second tarpaulin, it was necessary for the rainwater to enter the interior of the seat, and because moisture could not be exhausted, it took a very long time to dry. . Moreover, it is unexpectedly troublesome to store the laundry, and since the second waterproof sheet is covered, it is extremely troublesome and is not used in a relatively short time.

Further, the drying cover proposed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-788 is made into a bag-like long-fiber non-woven fabric having both waterproofness and breathability. It can be dried without fading or losing its shape, and can prevent pollen and dust from entering and prevent rain from entering, but damp laundry in the bag-shaped drying cover. It is quite troublesome to store, and it takes time to set up the drying cover,
Even if I try to use it every time I wash it, it doesn't last long. It wasn't a cover that could be easily installed at the final stage by performing normal drying and sun-drying setup.

Since it is breathable, it can exhaust moisture, but the temperature that governs the drying phenomenon and the flow velocity of the surrounding air,
Considering the humidity, the drying rate was low because there was no wind or high humidity.

Further, in the conventional drying cover and laundry cover, the size and shape are different depending on the duvet bag, the hanging clothes liner, and the shoe storage rack, and it is necessary to prepare different covers depending on the clothes to be dried. It was very difficult to disseminate because many covers were needed for one family.

Therefore, the present invention can be dried quickly, prevents rain from entering, protects laundry from dust and pollen, is easy to install regardless of the size and shape of the material to be dried, and is inexpensive. It is intended to provide an all-weather clothesline cover.

[0014]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, an all-weather clothes-drying cover of the present invention is provided with a plurality of pairs of a functional sheet having waterproofness and breathability, and a functional sheet facing each other at the periphery of the functional sheet. When the article to be dried is hung on a supporting member and the whole is covered with a functional sheet, one end of the joining locking band to be used is joined in the vicinity of the supporting member. Between the other opposing joining tongues by joining to the joining tongue and wrapping the other end around the support member and joining with the joining tongue or the joining locking band itself to lock the functional sheet. In (1), it is characterized in that the connection is made detachable by connection with the rest of the joint engagement band or by direct joining of the joining tongue pieces.

[0015] With this, it is possible to dry quickly, prevent rain from entering, protect the laundry from dust and pollen, and easy to install regardless of the size or shape of the material to be dried. A cover can be provided.

It is a use condition top view when using the all-weather clothes-drying cover in the form 1 for futon drying.

1A, 1B and 2C, and 2A.
(B), in FIG. 3 (a) (b), 4, 1 functional sheet having a waterproof and breathable for covering from above when dry matter to be dried in the laundry such as outdoors, 2 ₁ to 2 ₁₂ joining tongue pairs provided on the peripheral edge of the functional sheet 1,
3 is a plurality of joint locking bands made of Velcro (registered trademark) or the like that can be detachably joined to the tongue for joining, 4 is a clothesline (supporting member of the present invention), 5 _{1 to} 5 ₄ Is an object to be dried. Material to be dried 5 ₁ relatively large laundry hard dry in thick, material to be dried 5 ₂ thin relatively small laundry, the object to be dried 5 ₃ hanging the clothestool, dried objects 5
₄ indicates a futon or the like. Reference numeral 6 is a connecting band for locking the objects to be dried 5 _{1 to} 5 ₄ to the all-weather clothes-drying cover when the futon or the like is dried. 6a is a joint part of the connection body 6. The connecting band 6 is provided with joint portions 6a such as Velcro (registered trademark) at both ends, and is connected between the joint portions 6a by elastic belts made of elastic rubber or the like. Both the front and back of the joint portion 6a are detachably configured with Velcro (registered trademark) or the like.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the functional sheet 1 has a line-symmetric outer shape such as a rectangle or a square. Since it is usually necessary to dry the futon or the like at home, a rectangular or square shape that is slightly larger than the outer shape of the futon by about 10 cm to 20 cm is desirable. A line-symmetrical shape such as an oval shape is also suitable. Note that, here, the basic external shape is line symmetry, and a shape in which some symmetry is broken in an unessential portion is naturally included in the line symmetry here.

The material of the functional sheet 1 has an air permeability of 20 to 300 sec / 100 CC and a moisture permeability of 4000 to 8
000g ^/ m 2 · 24h, water pressure resistance 800~2000mm
Polyolefin non-woven fabric obtained by bonding high temperature heat to continuous ultrafine fibers that satisfy the condition, for example, polyethylene non-woven fabric such as DuPont Tyvek (registered trademark), or porous fiber structure such as PTFE such as Poaron (registered trademark) A sheet or the like is suitable. When the mesh size of such a sheet is expressed by the average pore size, it is appropriate that the average pore size is about 0.1 to 20 μm. Other breathable sheets may be coated, but the breathability should not be impaired. This functional sheet 1 is resistant to water wetting, and its waterproofness is not impaired even when folding is repeated 1000 times or more. If antibacterial measures are required, such as when drying gauze or a mask, the weatherproof clothes cover may be subjected to antibacterial treatment.

As shown in FIG. 1C, the functional sheet 1
The size of rainwater that falls on the ground is usually 100 μm to 3000
μm (100 μm drizzle, 3000 μm thunderstorm, 2000 μm for normal rain), and the functional sheet 1 has an extremely fine mesh gap or an average pore diameter of 0.1 μm to 20 μm.
Since the holes are formed, the surface tension and water repellency prevent the rainwater from permeating the functional sheet 1 even when it starts to rain. However, the size of the water vapor evaporated from the objects to be dried 5 ₁ , 5 ₂ hung on the clothesline 4 is 4.0 × 1.
Since it is about 0 ⁻⁴ μm, it can very easily pass through the extremely fine mesh gaps of the functional sheet 1 or the holes having an average pore diameter of 0.1 μm to 20 μm. The functional sheet 1 can be breathable and waterproof by having such an extremely fine mesh gap or hole.

Next, the functional sheet 1 was provided on the periphery of the sheet.

The joining tongues 2 ₅ and 2 ₆ are provided at the long side facing positions, and the joining tongues 2 ₁₁ and 2 ₁₂ are provided at the short side facing positions, respectively. The joining tongue pieces 2 ₁ to 2 ₁₂ can be detachably joined to each other at least in pairs. Furthermore, it is preferable that all the joining tongues 2 ₁ to 2 ₁₂ can be joined to each other. Further, the bonding tongues 2 ₁ to 2 ₁₂ can be joined freely plurality of bonding locking zone 3 both detachable described below.

As shown in FIG. 1 (b), the joint locking band 3 is a belt having a width of 1 cm to 3 cm and a length of 10 cm to 30 cm, the front and back of which are made of Velcro (registered trademark) or the like. There are a plurality of types of usage of the joint locking band 3, and it is also possible to separately prepare the length and the width according to the usage. Only one type is easier to use and cheaper.

First, how to use the first joint locking band 3 is to hang the clothes to be dried 5 ₁ and 5 ₂ on the clothes-drying rod 4 and then cover with the all-weather clothes-drying cover so as not to be blown up by wind or the like. It is used to stop. In this case, as shown in FIGS. 2 (a) (b) and 3 (a) (b), the ends of the joining locking band 3 are joined to the joining tongue pieces 2 ₅ and 2 ₆ respectively, and the clothes are dried as they are. It circulates around the rod 4 and the other end is joined and fixed to the joining tongues 2 ₅ and ₂₆ or the joining locking band 3 itself by joining force. Thus, all-weather clothes cover while covering the material to be dried 5 _1, 5 _2, strapped firmly to the laundry pole 4.

How to use the second joint locking band 3 is shown in FIG.
As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the joining tongue piece 2 is used.

2 ₇ , joining tongues 2 ₄ and 2 ₈ , joining tongues 2 ₁₁ and 2
It is used to prevent the folded sheet from being rolled up by the wind with respect to ₁₂ . Other bonding engagement with one end of the stop band 3 is bonded to one of the pair of tongues of joining tongues 2 ₁ to 2 _12, for joining the other end tongue 2 ₁ to 2 ₁₂ above the pair of tongues Join and lock. However, this second
How to use is different depending on the degree of ventilation between the sheets and the degree of blocking pollen and the like.

That is, when the functional sheet 1 is folded in two, if the gap between the two folded sheets is large, the amount of air passing therethrough is large and the material to be dried is dried faster. However, when the gap is small or there is no gap, the amount of air passing through is small and the drying speed is small because only the air temperature is dried. However, at this time, the functional sheet 1 has a bag shape, and pollen and dust from the outside are less likely to enter the inside. This makes it possible to suppress allergies such as hay fever. If a large gap is required, the maximum length of the joint locking band 3 is used, and if it is desired to shut off the inside, the joining tongues 2 ₁ to 2 ₁₂ are joined to each other to join the joint locking band 3. You shouldn't use it. If desired, the joint length of the joint locking band 3 may be freely adjusted.

FIG. 2A shows a case where the drying speed is increased by the all-weather clothes drying cover. Material to be dried 5 ₁ is relatively large, a case where it is not necessary to care too much the degree of sealing,
The gap between the two folded functional sheets 1 is widened to increase the drying speed. In FIG. 2A, although the gaps of only the joining tongues 2 ₃ and 2 ₇ and the joining tongues 2 ₄ and 2 ₈ are widened, the joining tongues 2 ₁ and 2 ₉ and the joining tongue are shown. Piece 2
It is also possible to widen the gap between ₂ , 2 ₁₀ and the joining tongue pieces 2 ₁₁ , 2 ₁₂ to receive the wind. Since the drying speed depends on the temperature and the speed of the air moving around, it is possible to increase ventilation efficiency by facilitating ventilation by forming the all-weather clothes cover in a tubular shape or in two folds.
FIG. 2B shows a method of joining the joining tongue pieces 2 ₁ to 2 _{12 to} each other to form a completely bag-like cover, which can prevent pollen and dust from entering the inside. However, if the water content is high,
The joining tongues 2 ₁₁ and 2 ₁₂ may be opened until the water is drained to some extent, and then the joining tongues 2 ₁₁ and 2 ₁₂ may also be joined and locked.

Next, the result of the drying test when covered with the all-weather clothes-drying cover of the first embodiment will be described.
The functional sheets of the all-weather clothes-drying cover that have been subjected to the dry test are polyethylene-based non-woven fabric (Dupont Tyvek) having a thickness of 0.12 mm and 0.16 mm. The test conditions are as follows. The test site is Chikushino City, Fukuoka Prefecture, and the test date is 12:30 on January 9, 2002.
From 17:00 to 17:00, the weather is fine, the temperature is 8 to 10 degrees Celsius, and the material to be dried is a bath towel hung on a clothesline. Half of the bath towel was covered with an all-weather clothes-cover with different thickness, and the other half was exposed to the outside and dried, and the dry state and odor etc. were examined at each elapsed time. The evaluation of the dry state is based on a comprehensive evaluation by two people who have carried out a dry test. (Table 1) shows the results of the drying test.

[0039]

[Table 1] According to the 0.12 mm-thick polyethylene non-woven fabric (Sample A) in (Table 1), there is no difference between the dry state of the exposed portion of the bath towel and the dry state of the cover portion which is the other half covered with the sample A. There is no. For a 0.16 mm thick polyethylene non-woven fabric (Sample B) all-weather clothes cover,
The drying speed of the exposed portion of the bath towel is the same as that of the thickness of 0.12 mm, but the drying speed of the cover portion which is the other half covered with the sample B is slowed by about 1 hour. However, in any case, the normal clothes-drying level was sufficient, and no odor was detected. From the above,
It can be seen that a polyethylene non-woven fabric having a thickness of 0.12 mm or less can be dried in almost the same state as when there is no all-weather clothes-drying cover.

Furthermore, in order to confirm the waterproofness of the samples A and B, the polyethylene-based nonwoven fabric of the samples A and B (1 m × 1
The state where 1000 g of water was placed on m) was maintained for 5 hours, but the placed water did not permeate the polyethylene-based nonwoven fabrics of Samples A and B.

As described above, if the all-weather clothes-drying cover of the first embodiment has a thickness of about 0.12 mm, it can be dried sufficiently in about 4 hours outdoors under normal fine weather.
At the same time, it turns out that the rain can be cut off when it rains. When the bag shape is formed as in the prior art, an odor or the like may be generated depending on the weather and the water content, but in the first embodiment, sufficient air permeability is secured by using the joining tongue piece. No odor is generated. The degree of protection against pollen and dust and the rate of drying can be relatively easily determined by adjusting the folded gap of the all-weather clothes-drying cover. If one all-weather clothes cover according to the first embodiment is prepared, the futon can be dried and almost anything in the home can be dried. If you fold up the cover, it will be as small as a furoshiki and won't take up much space. In addition, since it is simply covered with one sheet, it is not necessary to sew it into a bag shape at the time of manufacturing, and an inexpensive all-weather clothes cover can be obtained.

The all-weather clothes-drying cover of the first embodiment is, as described below, a male joint for joining the joining tongues 2 ₁ to 2 ₁₂ or joining the joining locking band 3 and the joining tongues 2 ₁ to 2 _12. The combination of the portion and the female joint can be made simpler than the weatherproof clothes cover of the second embodiment.

(Second Embodiment) Hereinafter, an all-weather clothes-drying cover according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. The all-weather clothes-drying cover of the second embodiment does not project to the outside as a tongue piece like the joining tongue pieces 2 ₁ to 2 ₁₂ of the first embodiment, but forms a joint portion along the peripheral edge of the functional sheet 1. It is to be polymerized and placed. Therefore, FIG.

The air can pass through the functional sheet and be exhausted. Further, the material to be dried is hung on a supporting member such as a clothesline, one end of the joining locking band is detachably joined to the joining tongue near the supporting member, and the other end is wound around the supporting member and locked. Therefore, after drying the dried object with normal drying method,
Since the functional sheet is hung from the top and wrapped by the joint locking band to be locked, there is no troublesome process in drying the dried object, and it is extremely easy to use by only hanging the sheet and winding it. Be the way. Further, since the joining tongues are connected by the joining locking band, it is possible to freely form a gap between the folded-shaped functional sheets, and the wind is attracted through this gap to evaporate. By prompting, the drying speed can be increased. If the gap is not formed, the inside of the sheet can be easily and reliably sealed, and the inside can be reliably shielded from rain, pollen, and eyes. Further, even if the wind is too strong, the functional sheet is prevented from being rolled up by the connection of the joint locking bands.

Even if it rains, the material to be dried does not get wet, and the moist air evaporated from the material to be dried can pass through the functional sheet and be exhausted, causing pollen and dust to come in. Can be surely prevented from adhering to the material to be dried inside. Further, since the corners of the article to be dried are sandwiched by the connecting strips, the cover of the all-weather clothes-drying cover for the article to be dried can be secured. Further, it is possible to ensure the cover of the all-weather clothes-drying cover for the object to be dried. Since the connecting band is tightened with the joining locking band, the portion to be locked can be reliably gripped. Joining can be done with one touch, and it is possible to attach the all-weather clothes-drying cover to the material to be dried in an extremely short time.

To provide a detachable connection by providing a plurality of pairs of joining edges formed of a set of a male joining band and a female joining band, and joining a plurality of opposing joining edges. Since the tongue piece does not project around the functional sheet 1, the appearance is good, and there is little chance that the bonding edge is damaged, and the life can be extended. A gap can be freely formed between the folded and folded functional sheets by the joint locking band, and the drying speed can be increased by attracting air through the gap to promote evaporation.
