Description

The present invention relates to a washing net that can be machine washed without damaging the delicate fibers, in particular for clothing made of a chloroplane material and provided with a plurality of holes, particularly delicate material. Regarding the laundry net.

Conventionally, clothes are stored inside using a laundry net, and the laundry net is put in a washing machine for washing. As the laundry net, a laundry net having a maximum diameter of 1 mm or less to a mesh-like polyester fiber having a size of about 10 mm is usually used.

For example, in Patent Document 1, a net having a maximum width of 1 mm or less is formed in a bag shape with the object of providing a laundry net that allows water flow to pass through relatively easily and has relatively little entry of lint and the like. A laundry net in which a plurality of holes having a maximum width of 2 mm to 20 mm are arranged on the surface of the net has been proposed.

Such a conventional laundry net has a role of protecting the fibers from the shape of clothes, dust and lint, and protecting accessories (sequins and metal) to prevent the clothes from being damaged.

However, the conventional laundry net cannot prevent slipping (falling off) of knitted fabrics, knits, sweaters, etc., and therefore cannot protect the texture and shape of clothes. In addition, there is a lot of rubbing against the fibers, and the rubbing causes a burden on the fabric and damage. Further, in the conventional laundry net, when clothes made of a delicate material such as a wool material product are put in the laundry net and washed, the shape changes, causing friction and the fibers become fibrilized. In addition, the balance control of the washing machine during dehydration causes the laundry to be uneven in the drum and causes an error (cannot be dehydrated).

In the laundry net disclosed in Cited Document 1, although problems such as lint can be solved, the above-mentioned problems of fibrilization and balance control in clothes made of delicate materials remain. As a result, when clothes made of delicate materials are put into a washing machine and washed, the fibers may lose their shape and a large amount of friction may occur.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2011-55564

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on its preferred embodiment.
A laundry net according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, the washing net 10 according to the present embodiment is a dough 1 made of a chloroplane material, and the dough 1 is provided with a plurality of holes 2, 2, ... By providing the washing net 10 of the present embodiment, delicate clothes can be put into a washing machine and automatically rotated to wash, and the fibers of the clothes do not easily lose their shape and can be washed with less friction. It is a thing.

The chloroplane rubber, which is the fabric 1 used for the laundry net 10 according to the present embodiment, is, for example, a rubber made of chloroplane containing air bubbles inside, which is used as a material for a wet suit, and is used by humans. It is made on the assumption that it will adhere to the skin (hereinafter, this fabric is also simply referred to as "plain"). Therefore, the surface of the plain is made smooth so that it will not be irritating even if it is rubbed.

In addition, the laundry net 10 uses several of the above materials and is designed to be sewn with a special sewing machine so that there is no stress on the skin, so it is possible to prevent the threads from rubbing when used with clothes. Can be done.

As the plane constituting the fabric 1, for example, a material called Neoprene (registered trademark, the same applies hereinafter) (used for surfing wet suits) and the like, specifically, chloroprene rubber and polyester jersey and the like are used. It can be preferably used. The plain material can be used in intense sports such as surfing and has less friction on the skin, so it is also useful when washing delicate clothes.

In addition, as the usage pattern of the plain, the base material of chloroplane is exposed on the surface (skin), the knit fabric is pasted on the surface of the skin material (jersey), the one-sided skin with the fabric pasted on only one side, or Examples include single-sided jerseys.

Due to the characteristics of the chloroplane constituting such a plain material, the laundry net 10 of the present embodiment is lightweight, has excellent toughness (tear strength), has low thermal conductivity, has heat insulating properties, and is a heat insulating material. It also has excellent performance. Moreover, since it has a closed cell structure, its water absorption is extremely low. In addition, it has an appropriate cushioning property and can be used as a cushioning material. Furthermore, it is also excellent in weather resistance.

It should be noted that washing the wetsuit itself with a washing machine is generally prohibited by washing machine manufacturers and the like. The reason is that the wetsuit easily retains water and is difficult to drain, so that a large amount of water cannot be drained during dehydration, which leads to a failure of the washing machine.

The laundry net 10 according to the present embodiment is provided with a plurality of holes 2 in the plain cloth 1. The position of the hole 2 in the plain cloth 1 is not particularly limited, but according to the present invention, even if delicate clothes are put in and automatically rotated by a washing machine to be washed, the fibers do not easily lose their shape and the washing can be performed with less friction. It is preferable that the arrangement is made in such a manner that the effect can be further improved.

For example, by appropriately providing the holes 2 in the plain fabric 1 of the washing net 10, the flow of water restricted from the random holes during washing does not exert a sudden mechanical action, so that washing with water can be performed. Bulky (loose knitted with thick thread) sweaters, which are considered difficult, do not become felt, and hair and slip do not occur.

In the present embodiment, the plurality of holes 2 provided in the plain cloth 1 are for allowing water flow during washing to escape, and can be washed, poured, and dehydrated in a washing machine without losing the balance. It is a thing.

The size of the hole diameter of one hole 2 is preferably in the range of 1 to 20 mm from the viewpoint of maintaining the water flow and balance during washing. In particular, it is more preferable to provide holes having a size of 2 to 15 mm, particularly 3 to 13 mm, from the viewpoint of preventing the fibers from losing their shape and improving the water flow balance and detergency.

In the present embodiment, it is preferable that the plurality of holes 2 are provided in the plain cloth 1 as a whole and are arranged so as to include the honeycomb structure 3 formed by the holes 2. In this way, by arranging so as to include the honeycomb structure formed by the plurality of holes 2, the honeycomb structure in which the sudden pressure in the washing machine is also present in the fabric 1 in combination with the elasticity of the plain fabric 1. It is dispersed by a plurality of holes 2 forming 3 and is less likely to cause an error, and can be smoothly dehydrated or the like.

The laundry net 10 according to the present embodiment can be easily manufactured, for example, by going through the steps shown in FIGS. 2 to 4. First, as shown in FIG. 2, a honeycomb (hexagonal) draft line for forming the honeycomb structure 3 is inserted in the base of the plain fabric 1. Along the draft line, a plain fabric 1 having a honeycomb structure in which a plurality of holes 2 are formed is manufactured as shown in FIG. FIG. 3 is a member of the front portion or the back portion as a part constituting the washing net 10. Similarly, an integrated member of the plain fabric 1 forming the flat surface portion, the left and right side surface portions, and the bottom surface portion, including the fastener portion 4 together with the honeycomb structure 3 composed of the plurality of hole portions 2, is prepared. Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the laundry net 10 can be manufactured by combining and suturing the above-mentioned constituent members.

It is preferable that the laundry net 10 according to the present embodiment is used in a substantially rectangular bag having a length of 10 to 30 cm, a width of 15 to 35 cm, and a depth of 5 to 15 cm in that the effect of the present invention can be improved. As shown in FIG. 24, a particularly preferable form of the laundry net 10 is a form in which the corners of a substantially rectangular bag are rounded. Specifically, a plurality of 10 mm holes are arranged at predetermined positions, and a rectangular front and back surface with rounded corners and fasteners on the upper surface (flat surface), the bottom surface, and both side surfaces are provided along the rectangular front surface and the back surface. A laundry net made of neoprene, which is composed of integrally continuous surfaces, is most preferable. The overall size of this laundry net is 19 cm in length, 24.5 cm in width, and 11.5 cm in depth. It is preferable that the plurality of holes are regularly arranged so that a plurality of hexagonal shapes (honeycomb structures) are formed in at least a part of the entire plain fabric (see FIG. 24). By forming the holes in such an arrangement, the delicate clothes can be machine-washed and the strength of the plain fabric can be improved, and the durability for long-term use is also improved.
In the present invention, the size and form of the plain laundry net are not particularly limited.

Further, FIG. 5 shows a plain laundry net according to another embodiment of the present invention. In the laundry net of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the front part appears in the front view, the back part appears in the same manner as in the front view, the upper part appears in the plan view, the lower part appears in the bottom view, and the right side part appears. Appears in the right side view, the left side surface appears in the right side view and the object, and is identified by these six views.

The laundry net of the embodiment shown in FIG. 5 has a slightly different pattern from the laundry net 10 of the above-described embodiment, but similarly, the plain fabric 1 on each surface is provided with a honeycomb structure 3 composed of a large number of holes 2. Further, a fastener portion 4 that can be opened and closed is provided on the upper and side surfaces. Even in the laundry net of this embodiment, the excellent effect of the honeycomb structure 3 can be obtained.

In the laundry net of the present invention, it is preferable to arrange the plurality of holes 2 so as to uniformly form a plurality of hexagonal shapes (honeycomb structure 3) over the entire plain fabric 1. By forming the holes 2 in this way, delicate clothes such as knits can be washed more smoothly with a washing machine, and the strength of the plain fabric 1 is improved and the durability for long-term use is also improved.

For example, as shown in FIG. 5, a plain laundry net having a honeycomb-shaped hole 2 having a hexagonal diameter (length between opposing vertices) of 4 cm is preferably used.

In FIG. 5, a line is provided for explanation so that the honeycomb shape can be easily understood, but only the hole 2 is present in the actual object. Here, the size of the honeycomb structure 3 is not particularly limited, and the diameter of one hexagon can be appropriately set.

The example of the plain laundry net shown in FIG. 5 shows a size of 20 cm in length × 27 cm in width × 9 cm in depth. It is used in a roughly rectangular shape when it is put in a washing machine and washed. The size of one hole forming the plurality of holes 2 of the laundry net is 2 mm in diameter. It is preferable to reduce the size of the holes in this way because the slip of the fabric is reduced, but in the present invention, it can be appropriately set in the range of 1 to 5 mm, preferably 1.5 to 4 mm.

6 to 9 show examples of use of the plain laundry net according to still another embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 6 shows a state in which delicate clothes are put in the laundry net before washing. FIG. 7 shows a state in which the laundry net is washed by automatic rotation with a washing machine. FIG. 8 shows a state in which the fastener portion of the washing net is opened after washing. FIG. 9 shows a state in which delicate clothes are taken out from the washing net after washing.

The examples of the plain laundry nets shown in FIGS. 6 to 9 have a size of 20 cm in length × 30 cm in width × 12 cm in depth. In this example of the laundry net, as shown in FIG. 6, the LIVER (registered trademark of the applicant of the present application) logo is provided in a plurality of small holes 2 in the central portion of the front surface of the plain material fabric 1, and the logo thereof is provided. A plurality of large holes 2 are arranged so as to expand and expand in the vertical direction. Further, on the upper surface and the side surface of the laundry net, elongated holes are provided in a row at regular intervals. The shape of the hole 2 is not particularly limited as long as the effect of the present invention is not impaired, such as a circular round hole or an elongated hole, and various shapes can be used. Even the plain laundry net of such an embodiment enables washing of delicate clothes in a washing machine, which was not possible with a conventional laundry net.

In addition, neoprene is also a wetsuit material used for surfing, etc., and the scraps generated during the manufacturing process can be reused, and a number of scraps can be joined together to create an original laundry net. The part where the pieces are joined together is the side part of the laundry net, which can be applied to the part without the zipper (the part marked with a circle in the developed side view of FIG. 22). Note that FIG. 22 is a developed side view of the chloroplane laundry net according to another embodiment, and is a view of a flat bottom surface and left and right side surfaces excluding the front surface portion and the back surface portion.

Further, as shown in FIG. 23, the remaining cloth of the wet suit (neoprene material) can be joined to form a cloth. For the purpose of upcycling, this fabric can also be reused as a part of the fabric of the laundry net according to the present invention.

The method of using the laundry net according to the present invention is performed by appropriately folding delicate clothes, putting them in the laundry net, and washing, dehydrating, rinsing, dehydrating, etc. with a washing machine.

Examples of delicate materials that can be washed by the laundry net according to the present invention include animal fiber cashmere, baby alpaca, silk and the like.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to examples. The present invention is not limited by these examples.

Example (cleaning test with a plain laundry net according to the present invention)
Using the plain laundry net shown in FIG. 10 [mini size; width 16 cm, height (length) 12 cm, neoprene fabric including a honeycomb structure consisting of a plurality of holes], the following delicate clothing as a subject is placed therein. It was put in and a washing test was conducted in a washing machine by a normal process.

・ Delicate clothing;
Material: 100% baby alpaca
Shape: Snood Size before washing (Measuring method: Flat): Width 40 cm, length 24 cm
Four snoods of the same material and size were prepared for use in this example, a control, and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 described later.

Since it takes some time for the laundry net to get wet, the laundry detergent should be mixed first to thoroughly wet the laundry net and clothes, and then soaked in water (see FIG. 11). After that, I started the rotary washing of the washing machine. The state during cleaning at this time is shown in FIG.

The washing test was carried out by washing for 5 minutes on a normal course of a washing machine. Then, after dehydration for 1 minute, rinsing for 5 minutes and dehydration for 1 minute were completed. During dehydration, a normal laundry net loses balance and is prone to errors, but the plain laundry net according to this embodiment is elastic and sudden pressure is also caused by the plurality of holes forming the honeycomb structure in the fabric. It was dispersed, less likely to cause errors, and could be dehydrated smoothly. The state after dehydration is shown in FIG.

The test results of this example are shown in FIG. The size (measurement method was flat) was 40 cm in width and 24 cm in length before washing, and 40 cm in width and 23.5 cm in length after washing. In addition, as shown in FIG. 17, compared to the product before washing (control) on the left side, the product washed in the conventional washing net on the right side has almost no shape loss or fiber elongation, and is delicate called baby alpaca. It can be seen that even clothes can be washed in the washing machine without any problem.

Next, a snood washing test was conducted as Comparative Example 1 when the product was washed using the commercially available laundry net shown in FIG. 14, and as Comparative Example 2 when the snood was washed without using the laundry net. The subjects and processes of the washing test were all the same as those in the above example, and the washing was performed by the same process. FIG. 15 shows a state of washing using a commercially available laundry net of Comparative Example 1.

The test result of Comparative Example 1 is shown in FIG. The size (measurement method was flat) was 40 cm in width and 24 cm in length before washing, but 44 cm in width and 22 cm in length after washing. Further, as shown in FIG. 19, compared with the product before washing (control) on the left side, the product washed in the conventional washing net on the right side is slightly out of shape and the fibers are slightly stretched. Understand.

FIG. 20 shows the test results of Comparative Example 2 (when washed without using a washing net). The size (measurement method was flat) was 40 cm in width and 24 cm in length before washing, but 50 cm in width and 24 cm in length after washing. Further, as shown in FIG. 21, it can be seen that the fibers of the product washed without the washing net on the right side are completely stretched as compared with the product before washing (control) on the left side.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention has industrial applicability as a laundry net that enables washing with less friction and less shape of fibers even when delicate clothes are put in a washing machine and washed.
