Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce volume of clothes and air-tightly seal its packaging bag by a method wherein the packaging bag with clothes contained is interposed between an air bag and a pressing board and applied with pressure with an air pump. CONSTITUTION:An apparatus has a nozzle 2 provided on a side of an air bag 1 and an air pump 3 for supplying air into the air bag 1 via the nozzle 2. Clothes are put into a packaging bag 4, which is interposed between the air bag 1 and a pressing board 7 and securely fixed with a fixing jig 8 so that the pressing board 7 may not be opened. lf air is fed into the air bag 1 with the air pump 3 in this state, the air bag 1 is swollen. At this time, the packaging bag 4 with clothes contained is compressed being interposed between the pressing board 7 and a base 6 via the air bag 1, so that air in the packaging bag 4 is exhausted outside. At the same time, the clothes are also compressed to be smaller in volume than they used to be. If an opening of the packaging bag 4 is sealed by a sealing device 5 in this state, the packaging bag 4 can be air-tightly and compactly packaged with reduced clothes contained inside.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a device for compactly packaging clothing for general household use.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventionally, clothing has been stored in general households in its original form, such as in chests of drawers or costume cases, without being compacted.

Another known method is to use a press to compress packaging bags containing clothing, bedding, etc., seal them, and store them in a compact form, but this is a large device and is only for commercial use. This was the method used in the

Problems that the invention aims to solveWith this conventional method, there was a problem that each piece of clothing, especially sweaters, took up a large amount of space (and the storage efficiency was poor). .

In the case of devices for commercial use, the devices themselves are large, heavy, and expensive, and cannot be used in general households.

The present invention solves these problems and provides a small and lightweight clothing packaging device for reducing the size of clothing and efficiently storing it in a general household.

In order to solve this problem, the household clothing packaging apparatus of the present invention includes a base, an air bag provided on the base, and a housing for storing the air bag and clothing. a presser plate rotatably attached to one end of the base so as to sandwich the packaged bag between the base and the base; a fixture for fixing the presser plate and the base at the other end; The air bag is equipped with an air pump for supplying air to the air bag, and a sealing device for sealing the packaging bag.

Function: With this configuration, a packaging bag containing clothing is sandwiched between an air bag and a presser plate, and pressure is applied by an air pump to reduce the volume of the clothing, and the packaging bag can be airtightly sealed. It is.

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

In the figure, 1 is an air bag, 2 is a nozzle provided on the side of the air bag 1, and 3 is an air pump for supplying air into the air bag 1 through the nozzle 2. 4 is a packaging bag for accommodating clothing, and 5 is a sealing device for sealing the opening of the packaging bag 4. 6 is a base for fixing the air bag 1; 7 is a press plate rotatably connected to one end of the base 6; and 8 is rotatably connected to the other end of the press plate 7. It is a fixture and is made to be hooked onto a hook 9 provided on the base 6. By using this fixture 8, even when the air bag 1 is inflated, the base 6 and the press plate 7 can be firmly fixed so that they will not be pushed open by the pressure.

The operation will be explained based on the above configuration. First, the clothes are placed in the packaging bag 4, sandwiched between the air bag 1 and the presser plate 70, and firmly fixed using the fixture 8 so that the presser plate 7 does not open. In this state, when air is pumped into the air bag 1 by the air pump 3, the air bag 1 is inflated. At this time, the packaging bag 4 containing the clothes is compressed by being sandwiched between the presser plate 7 and the base 6 via the air bag 1, and the air inside the packaging bag 4 is discharged to the outside. At the same time, clothing is also compressed and becomes smaller (reduced) than its original volume.

Here, the opening of the packaging bag 4 is in a state where it is lightly pinched by the sealing device 5, and the packaging bag 4 is expanded by the expansion of the air bag 1.
The air inside can be exhausted to the outside through this opening.

In this way, when the opening of the packaging bag 4 is sealed using the sealing device 5 in a state where the clothing in the packaging bag 4 is compressed by the action of the air bag 1, the packaging bag 4 accommodates the reduced clothing inside. It will be packaged airtightly and compactly.

Note that various methods can be considered for the sealing method of the sealing device 5, such as thermal sealing or mechanically sandwiched sealing.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which two sets of air bags are provided and a packaging bag is housed between these air bags. In Figure 3, 1a is the upper air bag, 1b
is the lower air bladder. The rest of the structure is similar to that of the previous embodiment.

Effects of the Invention As described above, in the present invention, the air inside the packaging bag can be removed by utilizing the pressure generated when the air bag inflates, thereby significantly reducing the volume of the clothing. As a result, in a typical household, it is possible to store more clothes in a drawer or costume case to compensate for the reduced volume of clothes.Also, by sealing clothes, it is possible to protect them from insects and mold that attach to them. At the same time, it is extremely hygienic as it prevents the attachment of dust mites and dust.

Further, the device itself has a small number of parts, is small, lightweight, and inexpensive, and is easy to use without taking up much space in a general household.
