Description

The present invention is a throw-in type washing machine lint that is put into the washing tub of a washing machine and efficiently collects the washing lint floating in each layer area of the upper layer, middle layer, and lower layer of the washing tub. Regarding collectors.

Conventional lint collecting tools for washing machines include a hanging type in which the lint collecting tool itself is hung with a string or a chain, a floating type that floats on the water surface of the washing tub, a fixed type that is fixed to the main body of the washing machine, and washing. A wide variety of lint collectors for washing machines have been proposed, such as a throw-in type that is thrown into a tub.

As a proposal for the above-mentioned hanging type lint collecting tool for a washing machine, for example, "water flow facing type washing lint collecting net bag" (Patent Document 1) has been proposed and is a known technique.

However, since the proposal of the "water flow facing type laundry waste collection net bag" adopts a means of attaching the laundry waste collection net bag body to the washing machine body by a sucker, the laundry waste collection net bag is hung. There was a problem that the strings and chains to be held were entangled with the laundry, and the laundry waste that emerged near the upper part of the washing machine tub was only collected. Further, the specifications are limited to those that can be installed in a centrifugal separation / dehydration tub type washing machine, and cannot be installed in the diagonal drum rotary type washing machine that is currently the mainstream.

Further, as a proposal of a lint collecting tool for a floating type washing machine that floats on the water surface of a washing tub, for example, "laundry waste collecting net bag and bath water red collecting net bag" (Patent Document 2) and " A lint remover for a washing machine ”(Patent Document 3) has been proposed and has become a known technique.

However, the proposals for the "washing lint collecting net bag and bath water red collecting net bag" and the "washing machine lint remover" are to be washed by mounting a float on the lint collector body. Since the structure is such that the opening is raised above the water surface of the tub, the washing lint that is floating around the upper layer of the washing machine tub is only collected.

Further, as a proposal of a lint collecting tool of a fixed type washing machine fixed to the side surface of the washing tub of the washing machine, for example, "a lint collecting device of a washing machine" (Patent Document 4) is proposed. It has become a known technique.

However, since the proposal of the "collecting device for lint of the washing machine" is a structure mounted on the side surface of the washing tub, it is only used in the conventional centrifugal separation / dehydration tub type washing machine and is used for washing. The collection efficiency is poor because the area where the machine tank collection device is installed stays at the collection of laundry waste that floats centrifugally, and it should be installed in the diagonal drum rotary washing machine that is currently the mainstream. Was something that could not be done.
The same applies to the "washing machine lint remover" (Patent Document 5), which employs a means for attaching a collecting device to the side surface of the washing tub using a suction cup or a hook.

Further, as a proposal of a lint collecting tool of a throw-in type washing machine to be put into the washing tub of the washing machine, for example, "Lint adhesion ball of electric washing machine" (Patent Document 6) and "Thread in the washing machine". A "waste remover" (Patent Document 7) has been proposed and has become a known technique.

However, in the proposals of the "electric washing machine lint adhering ball" and the "lint remover in the washing machine", a brush-like brush is placed on the surface of the sphere, and the brush is entwined with the washing lint and collected. It is possible to collect the washing lint that floats freely in the washing tub of the washing machine, but it floats in each layer area of the upper layer, middle layer, and lower layer of the washing tub. There is a problem that it is not possible to efficiently and individually collect the laundry lint, and it takes time and effort to remove the laundry lint entwined with the brush-like brushing, and the removal work itself is troublesome.

Further, as a proposal of the collecting bag itself to be attached to a collecting tool such as lint of a washing machine, a "bag of a lint removing device of a washing machine" (Patent Document 8), which can easily take out lint, and (Patent Document 9) has been proposed, which is a double bag for preventing the once collected laundry lint from being discharged into the washing tub of the washing machine again, which is a device for preventing the lint from being lifted by the lint removing device in the washing machine. , Is a known technique.

However, the washing lint removing means of the "bag of the lint removing device of the washing machine" and the "floating prevention device of the lint of the lint removing device in the washing machine" is used to wash the once collected washing lint. a proposal of collecting bag so as not to re-released into the washing tub of the machine, but not the attachment means of the device itself collecting bag is attached is limited, even less of the gun invention It is not a proposal of a throw-in type washing machine lint collector that collects laundry waste by putting the collection bag itself into the washing tub.
As the grounds for this, it can be easily determined that the "device for preventing lint from floating in the lint removing device in the washing machine" is a collection bag in which the frame is omitted from the drawing, and "washing". In the "bag of the lint removing device of the machine", since it is described as "bag body A installed in the washing machine ..." in the description of the usage method on the second page in the specification, some means. (The mounting means is not shown in the illustration and in the text), it is presumed that the proposal is for a collection bag on the premise that the frame is mounted on the washing machine.
Therefore, the above proposed et al, seemingly as far as the drawings, the present invention is appear to be similar to "washing machine lint capturing device", the collecting means and the collecting device in the present gun invention It is completely different from the installation method, and the means for removing the accumulated lint cannot be easily removed by pushing it out with a stick or the like because the reinforcing structure of the frame or the inner bag interferes with it. It has become.

Most of the conventional hanging, floating, and fixed type washing machine lint collectors are not suitable for the slanted drum rotary washing machines that are currently the mainstream. Has not been adopted as a means of collecting. The main means of collecting laundry lint used in the latest diagonal drum rotary washing machines is to circulate the amount of water in the washing tub once with the pump built into the washing machine, and in the middle of the process, the washing threads. Although it adopts a structure that removes waste with a filter, it requires time and effort to increase the cost of the washing machine and to open the door of the filter part built in the bottom of the washing machine to remove the washing lint. Therefore, there is a problem that the work of taking out the washing lint is troublesome.

The applicant takes advantage of the phenomenon that lint of laundry collects in the pockets of the washing machine and trousers during washing and the phenomenon that the bag-shaped fish body swells due to the streamer of the carp that is displayed at the time of the festival in May. Among the holding type, floating type, fixed type, and throwing type, the throwing type lint collector, which is easy to handle and has high collection efficiency, is used to collect the upper, middle, and lower layers of the washing tub. Unprecedented washing that can efficiently collect lint that floats in the ocean in each layer area , and can be compatible with both centrifugal separation and dehydration tub washing machines and diagonal drum rotary washing machines. Based on the idea of making a lint collecting tool for machines, we have developed a lint collecting tool for washing machines that can solve these problems by simple and inexpensive means, and the input type in the present invention. This led to the proposal of "Washing machine lint collector".
