Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a laundry net with a floating body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional washing net with a floating body,
A device as shown in FIG. 5 or 6 is known (Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 58-98079).

In FIG. 5, reference numeral 1 denotes a conical mesh bag having a fastener 2. Reference numeral 3 is a lid-like floating body that covers the opening of the net bag 1.

Further, in FIG. 6, reference numeral 4 denotes an annular floating body fixed to the opening edge of the net bag 1.

When these washing nets with a floating body are used, clothes are put in the mesh bag 1 as shown in FIG.
It is put into the washing machine 5.

According to such a washing net with a floating body, as shown in FIG. 7, the washing net floats on the water by the buoyancy of the floating bodies 3 or 4 (the floating body 4 is shown in FIG. 7), and the laundry is washed. Can be washed without damaging the laundry as it does not touch the pulsator directly.

Further, according to the structure shown in FIG. 6, since the floating body 4 has an annular shape, the clothes can be put in and taken out easily, and a small amount of washing liquid can be washed from the opening at the center of the floating body 4. The cleaning performance is also improved because the water flows in.

[0008]

The above-mentioned conventional washing net with a floating body has the following problems.

In the structure shown in FIG. 5, since the whole opening of the net bag 1 is covered with the lid-shaped floating body 3, washing water is discharged from the opening of the net bag 1 (the portion of the floating body 3). Inflow or outflow is not possible. In other words, since the washing water is exclusively distributed through the side surface of the conical mesh bag 1, there is a problem that the washing effect is not so good.

On the other hand, in the structure shown in FIG. 6, since the floating body 4 is annular, as described above, the floating body 4 is formed.
A small amount of washing water can flow in through the central opening of the. Therefore, the cleaning performance is certainly improved as compared with that shown in FIG.

However, since the floating body 4 is fixed to the opening edge of the net bag 1 and cannot move relative to the net bag 1 in this case, the floating body 4 has washing water at the portion thereof. Since no distribution is obtained, the cleaning effect is not so good. That is, since the portion where the washing water can flow in or out of the net bag 1 is limited to the side surface of the net bag 1 and the central portion of the floating body 4 and is fixed, the cleaning effect is not so good. There was a problem.

As described above, in the conventional laundry net with a floating body, the floating body is fixed, and therefore, the portion where the washing water can flow in or out of the net bag is also fixed, which is not always good. There is a problem that a good cleaning effect cannot be obtained.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above problems and to provide a laundry net with a floating body which can obtain a good cleaning effect without damaging the laundry.

[0014]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a washing net with a floating body according to claim 1 is constructed such that the net material is doubly arranged in a part of a bag made of the net material. A void is formed between the materials, and a floating body smaller than this void is movably accommodated in the void, and
A frame-shaped shape retention member is accommodated along the inner peripheral edge of the
It is characterized by being.

[0015]

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the laundry net with a floating body according to the first aspect , the bag body is suitable for accommodating a brassiere folded such that the cup portions are stacked. It is formed in a dome shape,
It is characterized in that the void is formed at the bottom thereof.

The laundry net with a float according to claim 3 is
The laundry net with a floating body according to claim 1 or 2 , wherein the floating body is caught in a water stream of the washing machine when the laundry net with the floating body containing laundry is loaded into the washing machine. The net is submerged, and when the water flow is stopped or weakened, the upper part of the laundry net is a floating body that gives the net buoyancy to the extent that it floats above the water surface.

[0018]

According to the laundry net with a float according to the first aspect of the present invention, laundry can be stored in a bag made of net material and put into a washing machine for washing.

Since the net material is doubly arranged in a part of the bag made of the net material to form a space between the net materials, and the floating body is accommodated in the space, The floating body provides buoyancy, so that the bag body and the laundry can be prevented from being damaged due to excessive contact with the washing machine, for example, the pulsator, and the laundry can be washed gently.

The floating body is a floating body smaller than the empty space, and the empty space is formed by arranging the net material in a double manner.
Washing water can flow into or out of the bag through the net material forming the void.

Moreover, since the floating body is a floating body smaller than the vacant space and is movably accommodated in the vacant space, when the water flow or buoyancy acts on the floating body, the floating body floats. The body will move within the void.

Therefore, the above-mentioned portion where the floating body is not present in the empty space, that is, the portion where the washing water flows in or out of the bag body is also moved (fluctuated) by the movement of the floating body, resulting in good cleaning. The effect will be obtained.

As described above, according to the laundry net with a float according to the first aspect, a good washing effect can be obtained without damaging the laundry.

Furthermore, according to the float body with laundry net according to claim 1, in the prior SL cavity, along its inner periphery, the frame-like shape-retaining member is accommodated, the space It becomes easy to maintain the space between the double mesh members that are formed.

Therefore, the floating body is easily moved in the space, and a better cleaning effect can be obtained.

According to the laundry net with the float according to claim 2, in the laundry net with the float according to claim 1 ,
The bag body is formed in a dome shape suitable for accommodating a brassiere folded so that the cup portions are overlapped with each other, and the void is formed in the bottom portion thereof, so that the brassiere can be washed well. be able to.

That is, when the brassiere is housed in the dome-shaped bag body as described above and is put into the washing machine, the floating body is housed in the empty space at the bottom,
The laundry will be washed with the bottom part facing up. Then, since wash water can flow in or out from this bottom portion as described above, the inside of the brassiere cup can be washed well. Further, since the wash water flows in or out from the portion other than the bottom of the mesh bag, as a result, the entire brassiere can be washed well.

According to the laundry net with a floating body of claim 3, in the laundry net with a floating body according to claim 1 or 2 , the floating body has a laundry net in which laundry is stored. Floating body that imparts buoyancy to the net to the extent that the upper part of the laundry net floats above the water surface when it is thrown into the water flow of the washing machine and sinks the laundry net when the water flow is stopped or weakened. Therefore, the following operational effects can be obtained.

That is, the laundry net with the floating body is
When the laundry is loaded into the washing machine when it is stored in the washing machine, for example, when the pulsator of the washing machine rotates and a relatively strong water flow is generated, it is caught in the water flow and sinks against the buoyancy of the floating body. When the pulsator stops once to reverse and the water flow stops or weakens, the buoyancy of the floating body lifts the surface and the upper part floats on the water surface.

As described above, the washing net with the floating body repeats the sinking operation or the floating operation while being caught in the washing net by the action of the water flow, so that the washing effect is further improved.

Moreover, in the process of repeating the sinking operation and the floating operation, the floating body moves in the void, and the position at which the washing liquid flows in or out of the bag also moves (changes). More effective cleaning will be performed.

Even with the laundry net shown in FIG. 5 or the laundry net shown in FIG. 6, it is possible to repeat the sinking operation and the floating operation by appropriately adjusting the buoyancy of the floating bodies 3 or 4. May.

However, as described above, in the case shown in FIG. 5, since the circulation of the washing water is regarded only through the side surface of the conical mesh bag 1, the sinking operation and the floating operation are repeated. However, it is difficult to obtain a good cleaning effect. Further, in the case of FIG. 6, the laundry may flow out from the opening at the center of the floating body 4 in the process of repeating the sinking operation and the floating operation, and the function as the laundry net cannot be achieved. There is a risk that

On the other hand, according to the laundry net with a floating body according to the third aspect, as described above, a better cleaning effect can be obtained.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view showing an embodiment of a laundry net with a floating body according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a schematic vertical sectional view, and FIG. 3 is a schematic bottom view.

The laundry net with a floating body according to this embodiment has a dome shape suitable for washing brassiere.

As shown mainly in FIG. 2, the laundry net N with a floating body includes a bag body 10 made of a net material and a floating body 2.
It has 0 and.

The bag body 10 has a substantially circular bottom portion 11 and a substantially inverted bowl-shaped upper portion 12 sewn to the bottom portion 11, and has a dome shape as a whole.

The bottom portion 11 has two substantially circular net materials 11a,
11b are overlapped with each other, and the peripheral portions 11a1 and 11b1 are attached to each other. As a result, a substantially disk-shaped space S is formed between the net materials 11a and 11b, and the floating body 20 is accommodated in the space S. Appropriate net materials can be adopted as the net materials 11a and 11b, but it is desirable to use a relatively coarse net material as the outer net material 11a in order to improve the flowability of the washing water. Since it may come into contact with a pulsator or the like of a washing machine described later, it is desirable to adopt a durable one. The inner net material 11b is preferably relatively soft so as not to damage the brassiere, and it is desirable to use a relatively fine net material to prevent the intrusion of thread waste.

The upper part 12 is made up of two substantially crescent-shaped net materials 1
The lower edges 13a, 13a of the wires 3, 13 are attached together with the peripheral edges 11a1, 11b1 of the net materials 11a, 11b forming the bottom 11, and the fastener 14 is provided between the upper edges 13b, 13b.
It is composed by attaching. Therefore,
By opening and closing the fastener 14, laundry (brass in this case) can be stored in or taken out from the bag 10. In addition, reference numeral 15 in FIG. 2 denotes a bias tape which is applied and affixed when the edges of the net material are simultaneously affixed.

An appropriate net material can be adopted as the net material 13, but in this embodiment, two net materials 13c, 13c are used.
A so-called three-dimensional mesh in which the knots are connected to each other by a wire rod 13d is used. Since this three-dimensional mesh itself has a proper elasticity and retention,
It is suitable for constructing an inverted bowl-shaped upper part 12 and also for protecting a brassiere.

As shown in FIG. 3, the floating body 20 has a disk shape, and is accommodated in the disk-shaped space S as described above. The floating body 20 is formed smaller than the space S, and is therefore movable within the space S. In this embodiment, since the disk-shaped floating body 20 is housed in the disk-shaped space S, the floating body 20 can freely move particularly in the radial direction in FIG.

A frame-shaped shape-retaining member 30 is housed in the space S along the inner peripheral edge thereof. This shape retaining member 30
The double net material 11a, 1 forming the void S
It becomes easier to maintain the distance between the 1b, and thus the floating body 20 moves more easily in the space S.
The shape-retaining member 30 has a ring shape and is made of polypropylene, for example. Further, the shape-retaining member 30 also serves to prevent the wire of the brassiere from being deformed when an external force is applied from the side as shown by an arrow F in FIG.

The material of the floating body 20 can be appropriately selected, and is made of, for example, foamed polyethylene. In this case, the vacant space S
It is desirable to use a material having a good slipperiness with respect to a floating body (foamed polyethylene in this case) as the net materials 11a and 11b forming the.

The buoyancy of the floating body 20 is such that when a brassiere is housed in the washing net N with the floating body and is put into the washing machine as will be described later, the floating net 20 is caught in the water flow of the washing machine. It is set so that the upper part of the washing net N floats above the water surface when N sinks and the water flow stops or weakens.

When the brassiere is washed using the floating washing net N as described above, the brassiere B folded so that the cup portions are stacked is accommodated as shown by the phantom line B in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4 (a), it is put into the washing machine 40. At this time, it is desirable that the floating body 20 is placed so that the bottom portion 11 is on the top, but even if the bottom portion 11 is placed on the bottom, the floating body 20 is accommodated in the space S of the bottom portion 11. Therefore, in the process of washing, the bottom portion 11 is turned up as shown in FIG. 4, and the laundry is washed as described below.

As shown in FIG. 4 (b), when the pulsator 41 of the washing machine 40 rotates and a relatively strong water flow C1 is generated, the washing net N is caught in the water flow C1 so that the floating body 20 can be caught. Sink while tilting against the buoyancy caused by
Further, as shown in FIG. 4 (c), it is washed by being wrapped around the water stream C1. At this time, the bottom portion 11 is formed of the net material 11a,
Since it is formed of 11b, as shown in FIG. 4 (d), in the portion S1 where the floating body 20 is not present, the net material 1
The washing water flows into (or flows out of) the bag body 10 through the bags 1a and 11b as shown by arrows C2 and C3, for example. The washing water also flows (or flows out) into the bag body 10 through the upper portion 12 made of a net material. Figure 4 (b)
As indicated by a phantom line 20 ′ in (c), even if the floating body 20 is positioned below the void S when or after the laundry net N is caught in the water stream, , By the action of its own buoyancy or water flow, as shown by the solid line 20 in FIG. In any case, the floating body 20 provides buoyancy, and therefore the washing net N and the brassiere do not contact the pulsator 41 too much, so that the bag body 10 is less likely to be damaged and the brassiere is gently washed. Becomes

After that, when the pulsator 41 is temporarily stopped so as to be reversed and the water flow is stopped or weakened, the washing net N is lifted by the buoyancy of the floating body 20 and the upper portion N1 is floated on the water surface, as shown in FIG. 4 (a). It will be.

When the pulsator 41 rotates again, the same operation as above is repeated.

The brassiere is washed by repeating the above operation a predetermined number of times.

According to the laundry net with a floating body as described above, the following operational effects can be obtained.

(A) A laundry (a brassiere in this embodiment) can be accommodated in the bag body 10 made of a net material and put into the washing machine 40 for washing.

A net material (1
1a, 11b) are arranged in duplicate and these mesh members 11a,
A void S is formed between 11b, and in this void S,
Since the floating body 20 is housed, buoyancy is obtained by the floating body 20, and therefore the bag body 10 and the laundry are not damaged by being excessively in contact with the washing machine, for example, the pulsator 41. , You can wash your laundry gently.

The floating body 20 is a floating body smaller than the void S, and since the void S is formed by arranging the net material twice, the floating body 20 does not have the floating body 20.
In, the washing water can flow into or out of the bag body 10 through the net materials 11a and 11b forming the void S.

Moreover, since the floating body 20 is a floating body smaller than the empty space S and is movably accommodated in the empty space S, a water flow or buoyancy acts on this floating body 20. If the same is done, the floating body 20 will move in the space S.

Therefore, the portion S1 of the void S where the floating body 20 is absent, that is, the portion where the washing water flows into or out of the bag body 10, is also moved (changed) by the movement of the floating body 20, As a result, a good cleaning effect can be obtained.

As described above, according to the laundry net N with the floating body of this embodiment, it is possible to wash the laundry well without damaging it.

(B) Since the frame-shaped shape-retaining member 30 is accommodated along the inner peripheral edge of the space S, the space S
It becomes easy to maintain the distance between the double mesh members 11a and 11b forming the.

Therefore, in the space S, the floating body 20
Become easier to move, and a better cleaning effect can be obtained.

(C) The bag body 10 is formed in a dome shape suitable for accommodating the brassiere B folded so that the cup portions are overlapped with each other, and the space 11 is formed in the bottom portion 11. Therefore, the brassiere B can be washed well.

That is, when the brassiere B is stored in the dome-shaped bag body 10 as described above (see FIG. 2) and is put into the washing machine 40, the floating body 20 is placed in the empty space S of the bottom portion 11. Since it is accommodated, it is to be washed with the bottom portion 11 facing up. Then, the wash water flows in from the bottom portion 11 as described above (see FIG. 4).
(D) See arrows C2 and C3) or because it can flow out,
The inside of the cup of the brassiere B will be washed well. In addition, since the wash water flows in or flows out from other than the bottom portion 11 of the net bag 10, as a result, the entire brassiere B is well washed.

(D) When the washing net N with the floating body is thrown into the washing machine 40, the floating body 20 is caught in the water flow C1 of the washing machine 40 and the washing net N sinks to sink the water flow C.
Since 1 is a floating body that gives the net N a buoyancy to the extent that the upper portion N1 of the laundry net N floats on the water surface when the net 1 is stopped or weakened, the following operational effects are obtained.

That is, the washing net N with the floating body
When the laundry is put into the washing machine 40 in a stored state, for example, when the pulsator 41 of the washing machine rotates and a relatively strong water flow C1 is generated, the water is caught in the water flow C1 and the floating body 20 causes When it sinks against buoyancy, and the pulsator 41 once stops to reverse, and the water flow C1 stops or weakens, the buoyancy of the floating body 20 lifts and the upper part N1 floats on the water surface.

Thus, the laundry net N with the floating body is
Since the sinking operation or the floating operation while being caught in the water flow C1 is repeated by the action of the water flow C1, the cleaning effect is further improved.

Moreover, in the process of repeating the sinking operation and the floating operation, the floating body 20 moves in the space S, whereby the position at which the washing water flows in or out of the bag 10 also moves (changes). Therefore, more effective cleaning can be performed.

Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be appropriately made within the scope of the gist of the present invention.

For example, the laundry net with the floating body according to the above-described embodiment has a dome shape suitable for washing brassiere, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a square shape, a spherical shape,
It may have any suitable shape such as a tubular shape. Any shape (for example, at least a part of one surface in the case of a prism, a part of its curved surface in the case of a sphere, or at least a cylindrical surface or a circular surface in the case of a cylinder) It is possible to arrange a net material in a double space in a part thereof to form a space between the net materials, and to accommodate a floating body smaller than the space in the space so as to be movable therein.

In the above-described embodiment, the floating body 20 has a disc shape, but the shape can be appropriately adopted. For example, as shown in phantom in FIG. 3, it is possible to make a hole in the center to form a donut shape. Also, square, flower,
A star shape, a spherical shape or the like may be appropriately adopted.

In the above-described embodiment, the operation when this is put into the pulsator-type washing machine 40 has been described, but the present invention is not limited to the pulsator-type washing machine 40. For example, a predetermined water flow is generated by rotating the water tank. The same effect can be obtained in a washing machine of the type in which.
