Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a laundry basket used for putting laundry washed or to be washed, that is movable on a caster instead of legs and is foldable when not in use.SOLUTION: A foldable laundry basket with a caster comprises a basket which is formed of an elastic resin material such as silicone with a metallic core on an upper part thereof and formed by making a part of cylindrical portion on a parallel line to a bottom part thicker than the other part to make the part a bump like a foldable paper lantern, by providing small holes for the cylindrical portion, and by giving the shape that is easily foldable to a compact form; and comprises a caster on the bottom portion, allowing moving by a single-hand pulling at a handle provided on an upper portion.

Description

本発明は、使用時にすぐに設置でき移動可能なキャスター付きの折たたんで収納できる洗濯物を入れるカゴに関するものである。 The present invention relates to a basket for storing laundry that can be installed immediately during use and can be folded and stored with a caster.

従来、洗い終わった洗濯物を入れるには、定位置に置かれたカゴに入れ、更に、干す際には、干し場までカゴを両手で持って移動させる必要があった。水を含んで重くなった衣類等の入った洗濯カゴを手で持つのは重労働であるが、簡単に移動できるものが無かった。
又、使いたい時だけ設置でき、不使用時、場所を取らずに収納できるものも無かった。
なお、脚が付いて移動できないタイプのものは知られている。（特許文献１参照）Conventionally, in order to put the laundry after washing, it was necessary to put it in a basket placed in a fixed position, and to dry it, it was necessary to move it with both hands to the drying place. It was hard work to hold a laundry basket containing clothes that became heavy with water, but there was nothing that could easily be moved.
Also, it can be installed only when you want to use it, and there is nothing that can be stored without taking up space when not in use.
In addition, the type which cannot move with a leg is known. (See Patent Document 1)

狭い場所で洗濯の後、取り出して入れる洗濯カゴが、使わない時には邪魔になり、置きっぱなしになっていて、使いたい時だけ設置できるものが無かった。又、水を含んで重くなった洗濯物を干す際、手でカゴを持って移動するのは、量の多い時には大変辛い作業であった。
本発明は、以上の問題点を解決するためになされたものである。After washing in a small place, the laundry basket that was taken out was in the way when not in use and was left unattended, and there was nothing that could be installed only when you wanted to use it. Also, when drying laundry that has become heavy with water, it is very difficult to move it with a basket by hand when it is heavy.
The present invention has been made to solve the above problems.

シリコン等の弾力性のある樹脂素材を、上部に金具の芯を入れたカゴ状にし、底と平行線上の筒部の一部を、他より厚く盛りあげ、提灯をイメージした凸状にし、容易にコンパクトなサイズになるように、折りたたみ可能な形状にし、さらに、掴み手を片手だけで引っ張って移動できるように、底部に移動可能なキャスターを設ける。
以上の構成よりなるキャスター付き折りたたみ洗濯カゴである。Easily made of a resin material with elasticity such as silicon, with a cage shape with a metal core at the top, and a portion of the tube on the parallel line with the bottom raised to a thickness that is more like a lantern The caster is foldable so as to have a compact size, and a movable caster is provided at the bottom so that the gripper can be pulled and moved with only one hand.
It is a folding laundry basket with a caster which consists of the above structure.

従来、洗濯カゴを両手で持ち上げずに移動するのは不可能であったが、本発明を使うことで移動可能にし、不使用時には、コンパクトなサイズに折りたたんで収納でき、使用場所の有効利用にもつながる。
本発明は、洗濯用だけでなく、子供のおもちゃ箱や片付け用収納カゴとしても利用できる。Conventionally, it was impossible to move the laundry basket without lifting it with both hands, but it can be moved by using the present invention, and when it is not in use, it can be folded and stored in a compact size for effective use of the place of use. Is also connected.
The present invention can be used not only for washing but also as a children's toy box and a storage basket for tidying up.

以下、本発明の形態を説明する。
（イ）シリコン等の弾力性のある樹脂素材を、上部に金具の芯を入れたカゴ状にし（１）、筒部の一部を他より厚くした凸状の提灯のような折りたたみ箇所（２）を設け、筒部には小穴（３）を開け、コンパクトにたたみ易くし、カゴの上部に接続した掴み手（４）を片手でも引っ張って移動できるように、底部に移動可能なキャスター（５）を設ける。
本発明は以上のような構造である。
本発明を使用するときは、折りたたまれているカゴの、折りたたみ箇所の山の部分を手で押し出してカゴ状にし、洗濯機から取り出した洗濯物をカゴの中に入れ、干場へ移動の際は、カゴの上部の一方の掴み手を片手で持ち、斜め状態のまま、４個の内の２個のキャスターを使って、引っ張りながら移動する。左右どちらの掴み手でも同じように移動可能である。
又、折りたたむ時には、カゴの上部のフチを上から押さえて、押し下げる。さらに、着色の色を変えて、作業別に区別化でき、キャラクターなどのかわいい絵を描いて子供のおもちゃ箱用にもできる。Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described.
(A) A flexible resin material such as silicon is formed into a cage shape with a metal core at the top (1), and a folding part (2 ), A small hole (3) is opened in the cylindrical portion to facilitate compact folding, and a caster (5) movable to the bottom so that the gripper (4) connected to the top of the cage can be pulled and moved with one hand. ).
The present invention has the above structure.
When using the present invention, the folded portion of the folded basket is pushed out by hand to form a basket, and the laundry taken out of the washing machine is placed in the basket and moved to the dry place.
