In such a squeezing tool, it is troublesome to fix both ends of the folded towel. Each time, the both ends of the towel must be fixed and both ends must be removed from the squeezing tool after the work is completed. In addition, when the handle is rotated and squeezed, the squeezing tool is unstable and must be firmly fixed by hand. Therefore, the operation of squeezing the towel using the conventional squeezing tool is a very laborious operation.

JP 2000-283648 A

  An object of the present invention is to provide a squeezing aid that can be squeezed quickly and securely when squeezing a cloth width or the like.

The invention according to claim 1 has a plurality of rotating members for winding a cloth product such as a cloth width, and the rotating members are arranged in the length direction and are independent from each other around a rotation axis extending in the length direction. Ri rotatable der to have a hollow portion in the interior of the rotary member, at least one rotary member is configured such that at least one hole leading to the hollow portion from the surface are formed.

The invention according to claim 2 includes a shaft member, and the rotation member is attached to the shaft member so as to be aligned in the longitudinal direction of the shaft member, and is rotatable around the shaft member.

The invention according to claim 3 has a plurality of rotating members for winding a cloth product such as a cloth width, and the rotating members are arranged in the length direction and are independent from each other around a rotation axis extending in the length direction. The rotating member is formed in a cylindrical shape, and has an outer diameter that is maximum at both ends of the rotating member and gradually decreases toward the center .

The invention according to claim 4 has a plurality of rotating members for winding a cloth product such as a cloth width, and the rotating members are arranged in the length direction and are independent from each other around a rotation axis extending in the length direction. The rotating members are all the same length, and an even number of 4 or more is attached .

The invention according to claim 5 has a plurality of rotating members for winding a cloth product such as a cloth width,
It is used by wrapping a cloth product such as a cloth so as to be in contact with the surface of any rotating member. The rotating members are arranged in the length direction and can be rotated independently about the rotation axis extending in the length direction. The means for binding the cloth product such as the wound cloth width is not provided in any part of the squeezing aid including the rotating member .

The invention according to claim 1 has a plurality of rotating members for winding a cloth product such as a cloth width, and the rotating members are arranged in the length direction and are independent from each other around a rotation axis extending in the length direction. Ri rotatable der to have a hollow portion in the interior of the rotary member, at least one rotary member, at least one hole leading to the hollow portion from the surface are formed. When squeezing the width of the cloth, first wrap the width of the cloth along the length of the squeezing aid, like a laver wrapped around sushi rolls, and firmly hold the parts near the ends of the wound width with your left and right hands. Next, when the width of the cloth is squeezed, the left and right hands rotate the both ends of the cloth in opposite directions, so that the rotating member inside the cloth also rotates in the opposite direction as the cloth is twisted. Can be squeezed. Since the cloth is formed of a thin cloth, the cloth becomes thin when squeezing, and there is a possibility that the cloth held by the hand cannot be sufficiently squeezed by rotating in the hand. In the present invention, since the cloth width is wound around a rotating member having a predetermined thickness, when the cloth width is twisted by grasping with a hand, the cloth width can be kept constant and not too thin. It is possible to squeeze well without rotating inside. When squeezing the cloth width, it is only necessary to wrap the cloth width around the rotating member, so that it is easy and time-consuming. Further, when removing the squeezed cloth from the rotating member, since the cloth is not connected to the rotating member using a fixing means, it can be easily removed without taking time and effort.

The invention according to claim 1 has a hollow portion inside the rotating member. When connecting rotating members having a hollow portion, a gap is created in the connecting portion, so the hollow portion referred to here is not a completely sealed hollow portion such as a hollow portion in a ping-pong ball, A cavity communicating with the outside air is preferable. When the rotating member is injection-molded with synthetic resin, molding is easier when the rotating member has a cavity than when the rotating member is solid. Can be molded.

Furthermore, in the invention described in claim 1, at least one rotation member is formed with at least one hole communicating from the surface thereof to the cavity. When the cloth width is squeezed, the squeezed water enters the cavity of the rotating member through the gap between the coupling parts of the rotating member, so that the cavity can be easily washed by pouring tap water from the hole.

The invention according to claim 2 includes a shaft member, and the rotating member is attached to the shaft member so as to be aligned in the longitudinal direction of the shaft member, and is rotatable around the shaft member. Since the rotating members arranged in the longitudinal direction are reinforced by the shaft member, there is no possibility that the rotating members will break from the joint portion even when the cloth width is tightly squeezed or a thick towel is fully squeezed. . In addition, since there is a shaft member, when a plurality of connected rotating members are rotated during use, the central axis of rotation does not move, and the cloth width can be squeezed in a stable state.

The invention according to claim 3 has a plurality of rotating members for winding a cloth product such as a cloth width, and the rotating members are arranged in the length direction and are independent from each other around a rotation axis extending in the length direction. The rotating member is formed in a cylindrical shape, and the outer diameter is maximum at both ends of the rotating member and gradually decreases toward the center . Since the rotating member is formed in a cylindrical shape, if the rotating member is in a cylindrical shape, it is easy to wind the cloth, and nobody feels uncomfortable when holding it.

Further, in the invention described in claim 3, the outer diameter is maximum at both end portions of the rotating member and gradually decreases toward the central portion. If the width of the cloth is twisted without using the drawing aid, the ends of the width of the cloth gradually approach each other as it is twisted, so the width of the cloth becomes insufficient and the torsion angle only increases. I ca n’t squeeze it at once. In the invention of claim 3, since the outer diameter is the maximum at both end portions of the rotating member, the outer diameter of the connecting point of the adjacent rotating members is increased and the portion is swollen. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the squeezed cloth and the hand holding the cloth from being caught by the swelling of the connecting point and approaching both ends of the cloth. Thereby, since the cloth width is squeezed while being pulled in the length direction, the twisting angle for squeezing does not increase steadily, and the cloth width can be squeezed at a stretch.

The invention according to claim 4 has a plurality of rotating members for winding a cloth product such as a cloth width, and the rotating members are arranged in the length direction and are independent from each other around a rotation axis extending in the length direction. The rotating members are all the same length, and an even number of 4 or more is attached. When the cloth width is squeezed, the rotation angle at both ends of the cloth width is maximized and gradually decreases as it goes to the center. When there are four or more rotating members, the two rotating members located closest to the end when the cloth width is squeezed rotate at a large rotation angle, and the inner rotating member is smaller than that corresponding to the twist angle of the cloth width. By rotating at a rotation angle, the cloth width can be efficiently squeezed. Also, when squeezing the cloth width, one side and the other side from the center of the cloth width are twisted in the opposite direction at the same rotation angle, so when there are an even number of rotating members, the rotating member is also Since the other side rotates in the same direction in the opposite direction, the cloth width can be squeezed efficiently without difficulty.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a front view of the present invention. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the rotating member as viewed from one end side. FIG. 5 is a front view of the rotating member. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line BB in FIG. FIG. 7 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the vicinity of the end of the aperture assisting tool.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the aperture assisting tool 1 has four rotating members 21, 22, 23, 24 and a shaft member 3. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the rotating member 21 is formed in a cylindrical shape, and the other rotating members 22-24 are formed in the same shape with the same material, and are connected to one end portion 6 in an annular shape. A protruding wall 4 is formed. Thus, since the rotation member 21-24 is the same, the code | symbol of the rotation member 21 shall be used for the code | symbol of each part of rotation member 22-24 other than the rotation member 21. FIG.

As shown in FIG. 5, five elliptical holes 5, 5, 5, 5, 5 are formed on the surface of the rotating member 21 as viewed from the front side. Although not shown, even when viewed from the back side of the rotating member 21, five holes are similarly formed, and a total of ten holes are formed. As shown in FIG. 6, the outer diameter of the rotating member 21 is maximum at both end portions 6 and 7 of the rotating member 21, and is formed so as to gradually decrease toward the central portion 8. Further, the inner diameter of the inner peripheral surface 9 of the rotating member 21 is the same except for the inner diameter of the protruding wall 4 formed at one end portion 6. The outer diameter of the protruding wall 4 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the inner peripheral surface 9 of the rotating member 21. Therefore, by inserting the protruding wall 4 from the other end 7 side of the other rotating member 22, the two rotating members 21 and 22 are relatively rotatably fitted. Next, the size of the rotary member 21 will be described. The total length of the rotary member 21 is about 55 mm, the maximum outer diameter is about 20 mm, and the total length of the aperture assisting tool 1 is about 215 mm. Of course, it is not limited to a numerical value. The material of the rotating member 21 is hard plastic, but other materials, for example, metals such as aluminum and stainless steel, or bamboo may be used.

  As shown in FIG. 3 or FIG. 7, the shaft member 3 is solid and has a screw hole 10 at one end. The outer diameter of the main body 11 of the shaft member 3 is formed to be slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the protruding wall 4 of the rotating member 21, and therefore the outer diameter of the main body 11 of the shaft member 3 and the inner diameter of the protruding wall 4. A space having a predetermined width is formed between the inner peripheral surface 9 of the rotating member 21 having a larger inner diameter. Therefore, a part of the squeezed water enters this interval. In addition, a first large-diameter portion 12 having a larger outer diameter than the main body portion 11 of the shaft member 3 is formed at the other end portion of the shaft member 3, and further on the outer side than the first large-diameter portion 12. A second large-diameter portion 13 having a large outer diameter is formed. The outer diameter of the first large-diameter portion 12 is formed slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the inner peripheral surface 9 of the rotating member 21, and the outer diameter of the second large-diameter portion 13 is the outer peripheral surface 9 of the rotating member 21. It is formed larger than the inner diameter. The second large-diameter portion 13 is for preventing the rotating member 21 from coming off the shaft member 3 as will be described later. The material of the shaft member 3 is hard plastic, but other materials such as metals such as aluminum and stainless steel may be used.

As shown in FIG. 3 or FIG. 7, the aperture assisting tool 1 includes a lid member 14 and a screw 15 in addition to the rotating members 21-24 and the shaft member 3. The lid member 14 has a peripheral wall portion 16, and the inner diameter of the inner wall of the peripheral wall portion 16 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the protruding wall 4 of the rotating member 21. The lid member 14 is formed with a screw insertion hole 17 through which the screw 15 is inserted.

Next, a method for assembling the aperture assisting tool 1 of the present invention will be described. First, one end of the shaft member 3 having the screw hole 10 is inserted into the rotating member 2 from the other end 7 side of the rotating member 21, and a total of four rotating members 21-24 are sequentially formed in the same manner. It is attached to the shaft member 3 so as to line up in a row. At this time, since the outer diameter of the first large-diameter portion 12 formed at the other end of the shaft member 3 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the inner peripheral surface 9 of the rotating member 21, the first large-diameter portion 12 is fitted into the inner peripheral surface 9 of the rotating member 21 in which the shaft member 2 is first inserted. Further, since the outer diameter of the second large-diameter portion 13 formed outside the first large-diameter portion 12 is larger than the inner diameter of the inner peripheral surface 9 of the rotating member 2, the other end of the rotating member 21. Since the movement toward the portion 7 side is regulated by the second large diameter portion 13, the rotating member 21 does not come off the shaft member 3.

As described above, the outer diameter of the protruding wall 4 formed at one end 6 of the rotating member 21 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the inner peripheral surface 9 of the rotating member 21. By inserting the protruding wall 4 from the other end 7 side of the other rotating member 22, the two rotating members 21 and 22 are relatively rotatably fitted. Thus, after attaching all the rotating members 21-24 to the shaft member 3, as shown in FIG. 7, the protruding wall 4 of the rotating member 24 on one end side of the aperture assisting tool 1 and the lid member 14 peripheral wall portions 16 are fitted. Next, the screw 15 is fully screwed into the screw hole 10 of the shaft member 3 to complete the assembly. As described above, the outer diameter of the main body 11 of the shaft member 3 is smaller than the inner diameter of the inner peripheral surface 9 of the rotating member 21 by a predetermined length. Therefore, a space having a predetermined width exists between the inner peripheral surface 9 of the rotating member 21 and the outer peripheral surface of the main body portion 11 of the shaft member 3. As described above, the outer diameter of the main body 11 of the shaft member 3 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the protruding wall 4 of the rotating member 21. Therefore, the predetermined width of the space existing between the inner peripheral surface 9 of each rotating member 21-24 and the outer peripheral surface of the main body 11 of the shaft member 3 is such that the protruding wall 4 of the rotating member 21 has the shaft member 3. It is maintained by hitting the outer peripheral surface of the main body 11. Further, since the aperture assisting tool 1 is assembled in this way, it can be easily disassembled by simply removing the screw 15, and the aperture assisting tool 1 can be disassembled and cleaned.

Next, the method of using the present invention will be described by taking as an example a face towel-sized cloth having a length of about 80 cm and a width of about 30 cm. First, the wet cloth is folded in four, folded into a size of 20 cm in length and 30 cm in width, and placed on a cooking table or the like. Next, the longitudinal direction of the squeezing aid 1 and the length direction of the cloth width are made to coincide with each other, and the squeezing aid 1 is placed on the vicinity of the end portion of the cloth width. Next, while rolling the squeezing aid 1, the squeezing aid 1 is wound around the squeezing aid 1 like a laver wrapped around a rolled sushi roll. Next, hold the squeezing aid 1 around which the cloth is wrapped, and firmly hold the portions near both ends of the wound cloth with the left and right hands. Next, twist with both hands to squeeze the cloth. Since the left and right hands squeezing the cloth width rotate both ends of the cloth cloth in opposite directions, the two rotation members 21 and 22 and the two rotation members 23 and 24 on the inside of the cloth width are caused by the twisting of the cloth width. Each can rotate in the opposite direction to squeeze the cloth. At that time, the rotations of the rotating member 21 and the rotating member 24 are in the opposite directions but the rotation angle is the same. The rotations of the rotating member 22 and the rotating member 23 are in the opposite directions but the rotation angles are the same. Smaller than the angle.

In addition, this invention can take a various aspect based on the structure mentioned above. For example, the anti-slip process can be performed by forming a large number of protrusions on the surface of the rotating member 2. It is not necessary to form the hole 5 in the rotating member 2, and the outer diameter of the center part 8 and the both end parts 6 and 7 may be made the same. The number of rotating members 2 used for the drawing aid 1 is not limited to four, and any number may be used as long as the cloth width can be drawn. Preferably, it is an even number of 4, 6, or 8. The shape of the rotating member 2 is not limited to a cylindrical shape, and may be, for example, a hexagonal column or an octagonal column. In this case, it is necessary to make the inner peripheral surfaces of both end portions 6 and 7 of the rotating member 2 inscribed by the shaft member 3 having a circular cross section circular. Moreover, not all the rotating members 2 may have the same shape, but two types of rotating members may be alternately arranged. The shaft member 3 may not be solid but may have a hollow cylindrical shape inside. Furthermore, it is possible to use a stop aid that does not use the shaft member 3. For example, instead of the shaft member 3, a rope is formed of a synthetic resin such as a silicone resin that can be expanded and contracted and has a strong torsion property. It may be coupled to both ends of the aperture assisting tool. Alternatively, a protrusion extending in the circumferential direction is formed on the outer periphery of the protruding wall 4 formed at the end 6 of the rotating member 21, and a line extending in the circumferential direction is formed on the inner peripheral surface 9 of the end 7 of the rotating member 22. By forming a groove and engaging and connecting the protrusion and the groove, it is possible to provide a drawing aid without the shaft member 3.

By winding the cloth cloth around a plurality of rotating members that are independently rotatable, the cloth cloth can be quickly and securely squeezed.
