Description

The present invention relates to a laundry bag type laundry drying cover that serves both as a laundry bag and a laundry drying cover.

Daily laundry has a laundry bag for transporting the laundry to the clothesline and a laundry cover that covers the laundry you do not want to be seen by people such as underwear.

Ideally, it would be very convenient if it was possible to put laundry in a laundry bag, carry it to the clothesline and cover the laundry, such as underwear, that would not be seen by a person with the laundry bag, saving labor.
Also, when taking in the laundry, it can be stored in a laundry bag, which is more efficient.

However, if the laundry is wet for practical use, water drops will accumulate on the bottom of the laundry bag, dust or rainwater may enter from the opening of the laundry bag, or the laundry bag opening may be covered. There were problems such as high cost, lack of marketability, and impractical laundry drying.

As a measure for improvement, a clothes hanger with a bag has been devised. This clothes-hanging hanger with a bag is formed by hanging a bag-like shape of a mesh with a pattern in the shape of a tube having a length of about 30 to 60 cm around the clothes-hanging hanger. The mesh is provided with a pattern, and the ratio of the pattern to the mesh is approximately 30 to 80% so that the pattern is scattered on average. However, in this method, when the ratio of the pattern increases, the performance of protecting the laundry is improved, but the speed of drying is sacrificed. Conversely, if the pattern ratio is lowered, the laundry dries faster, but the visibility of the laundry is visible from the mesh, and it is not sufficient in terms of protecting the laundry from dust and rainwater.

The problem to be solved is that the water droplets on the laundry do not accumulate on the bottom of the laundry bag, dry the laundry, block the laundry that you do not want to see from the outside line of sight, and protect the laundry from dust and rain water The object is to provide a laundry bag type laundry drying cover that can also be used as a laundry drying cover.

The present invention provides a fixing member for fixing the laundry inside the lower part of the laundry bag provided with an upper opening, and further provides a member that hangs on a clothesline outside the lower part. When used as a laundry drying cover, it is used by hanging the hanging member outside the lower part on the hanging basket with the hanging member.

Since the laundry bag-type laundry drying cover of the present invention is turned upside down when used as a laundry bag, the upper opening as a laundry bag is located at the bottom even if water drops on the laundry remain on the bottom of the laundry bag. Because it is located, water droplets are discharged by gravity. Furthermore, the water droplets generated when the laundry is being dried will not accumulate in the laundry bag as well. Moreover, since the lower part of the laundry bag is hermetically sealed, it becomes an upper part when used as a laundry drying cover, and can prevent dust and rainwater. Furthermore, since the bag is made of an opaque cloth or non-woven fabric, the item with laundry inside can block the line of sight from the outside. Thus, by using the laundry bag upside down as a laundry cover, there is an advantage that both can be used without significant cost increase.

  When the normal laundry movements are arranged in order, the laundry is washed in a washing machine, the laundry is put in a laundry bag or other container, carried to the clothesline, and the laundry is hung on a hanger or a laundry basket to let people touch it. Laundry such as underwear that you do not want is covered or dried indoors. It is not common to actually put on a cover because there is no appropriate clothes-drying cover at the moment, but in recent years, laundry-drying covers with moisture permeability and waterproof properties have begun to appear, but they are widely recognized. When the laundry dries, it is a general movement of the laundry to put the laundry into a laundry case such as a laundry bag.

The laundry bag type laundry drying cover of the present invention is to allow the laundry bag and the laundry drying cover to be used in the same manner. However, the laundry bag type laundry drying cover has an effect that it can be conveniently used in the operation related to the movement of the laundry. That is, the laundry that has been washed is put in a laundry bag, moved to a clothes-drying place, the laundry is dried, and the laundry that is not desired to be seen is covered with the laundry bag-type laundry cover of the present invention. In addition, when you take in, you can also take in the laundry that you dried outside the laundry bag type laundry cover, so it matches the movement of the laundry, and it is convenient and protects the laundry from eyes, dust, rain water It is useful.

(Example 2) FIG. 4 is an explanatory view showing an implementation method of a laundry bag type laundry drying cover as a laundry drying cover. (Example 2)

When using a laundry bag with an opening for putting in and taking out laundry as a laundry drying cover, use the opening downward and hang the laundry bag upside down on a laundry basket. Used as a laundry cover. In addition, since it is turned upside down, water droplets generated when the laundry is transported to the laundry bag and water droplets generated when the laundry is being dried can be discharged from the opening.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of the present invention, showing a state where the laundry drying cover is used. 1 to 8 are the same as in FIG. 2, and 9 is a commonly used clothes basket.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view when used as a laundry bag, and shows a state of the laundry bag that carries the laundry when the laundry is transported from the washing machine to the clothes drying place and when the laundry is taken in.

Usually, the laundry is put in a laundry bag as shown in Fig. 2 and transported to the clothesline. The laundry bag type laundry drying cover of the invention may be applied. And if the laundry is dry, you can take it in a laundry bag.

Referring to the drawings in detail, reference numeral 1 in FIG. 2 denotes a laundry bag body, and the upper part forms an opening 2 to put in and out the laundry 8. Reference numeral 3 denotes a tote, which is provided integrally with the laundry bag body 1 and is carried around the laundry bag body 1 or moved to the laundry drying place to cover laundry that is not covered by the laundry cover-type laundry cover. It is used to temporarily hang it on your shoulder or clothes rack (not shown) when you hang it. In addition, although the totte 3 shows the string-like thing in a present Example, you may make it the hole which can be grasped by the laundry bag main body 1 by hand.

Next, a state in which the laundry bag type laundry drying cover of the present invention is used as a laundry drying cover will be described. Reference numeral 1 in FIG. 1 denotes a laundry bag body, which in this case serves as a laundry drying cover. An appropriate quantity of clothespins 7 is provided inside the laundry bag body 1 in order to fix the laundry 8. A clothespin mounting hole 6 ′ is provided in the clothespin mounting portion 6 for mounting the clothespin 7. The laundry bag body 1 is provided with hanging strings A 4a, 4b, and 4c and hanging strings B 5a, 5b, and 5c for hanging on the clothes basket 9. The hanging strap A 4a and the hanging strap B 5a are connected by a surface fastener or hook (not shown) provided so as to be connectable so that the clothes basket 9 is inside. Similarly, the hanging strap A 4b, the hanging strap B 5b, and the hanging strap A 4c and the hanging strap B 5c are connected to suspend the laundry bag body 1 from the clothesline 9. Then, the laundry 8 to be covered with the laundry drying cover is fixed with the clothespins 7.

Moreover, it has been confirmed by experiments that the laundry 8 not only discharges water droplets generated from the laundry 8 but also shortens the drying time by having the opening 2. This experiment was conducted in Ogori City, Fukuoka Prefecture in August 2009. As a condition of the experiment, the material of the laundry bag body 1 is a polypropylene non-woven fabric, and this non-woven fabric has a water vapor permeability of 385 g / m ² / h. This figure is the result of a request for measurement at Fukuoka Industrial Technology Center in the same month as the experiment). The room temperature was 31 ° C and the humidity was 78%. Samples were taken after wetting a cotton towel and squeezing by hand. As a result, when the opening was at the bottom, it dried in 6 hours from the start of the experiment, but when the bottom was closed, it took 7 hours and 30 minutes to dry. Detailed data is shown in Table 1. This table shows the elapsed time on the horizontal axis and the drying rate on the vertical axis, indicating that 100 is completely dry.

As described above, the laundry bag-type laundry drying cover is used with the opening part down (the lower part in Table 1), so there is an opening in the upper part and the lower part is closed like a conventional clothes hanger with a bag. The effect of shortening the drying time of the laundry was obtained as compared with the ones (lightening in Table 1). As a result, the moisture contained in the laundry also evaporates, but the moisture in the laundry moves to the lower part of the laundry through the laundry and is exposed to the air at the opening 2 at the lower part of the laundry bag-type laundry drying cover. It is estimated that the time for drying is shortened. Since this experiment was performed indoors, it took time to dry, but when it was actually performed outdoors, the time was shortened.

The larger the moisture permeability of the laundry bag body, the better the drying of the laundry. However, it is sufficient that the laundry is practically dried at 100 g / m ² / h or more without being steamed. In recent years, functional sheets having both waterproof and water repellency and moisture permeability have been put into practical use for protection from rainwater and dust, and are suitable for the material of the laundry bag body of the present invention.

The embodiment of FIGS. 3 and 4 is provided with a zipper 10 that can be opened and closed on the left and right of the laundry bag body 1, and the laundry 8 to be dried inside the laundry bag-type laundry drying cover is fixed to the clothespin 7. It improves workability. FIG. 4 shows a state in which the fastener 10 is opened and one side of the laundry bag body 1 is opened and the laundry 8 is fixed to the clothespin 7. Since one side of the laundry bag body 1 is open, the clothespins 7 are exposed, so that the laundry 8 can be easily fixed.

Laundry bags and laundry covers are present, but by combining them, the convenience of housework for actual laundry is greatly improved. The market can be newly formed as a laundry bag type laundry cover as a convenient article for washing.
