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 upper and a lower air bags wherein a bag has been two-folded and applied with pressure with an air pump. CONSTITUTION:An air bag 1 is in a two-folded shape, wherein an upper part is an upper air bag 1a and a lower part is a lower air bag 1b. Clothes are put into a packaging bag 4, Which is interposed between the upper air bag 1a and the lower air bag 1b and fastened by a fastener 6. If air is fed into the air bag 1 with an air pump 3 in this state, the upper air bag 1a and the lower air bag 1b are swollen together in a folded state. At this time, the packaging bag 4 with clothes contained is compressed being interposed between the upper air bag 1a and the lower air bag 1b, 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 the initial volume. 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, in ordinary households, clothes were stored in drawers, costume cases, etc. 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 to be Solved by the Invention With such conventional methods, there is a problem in that each piece of clothing, especially sweaters, occupies a large volume in a general household, and storage efficiency is poor. Further, in the case of a device for business use, the device itself is large, heavy, and expensive, and cannot be used in a general household.

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.

Means for Solving the Problem In order to solve this problem, the present invention provides a packaging bag for airtightly storing clothing, and a bifold bag for applying external pressure to the packaging bag to evacuate the air inside. Household clothing comprising an air bag, an air supply nozzle provided in a part of the air bag, an air pump attached to the nozzle, and a sealing device for sealing the packaging bag. This is a packaging device.

With this configuration, the packaging bag containing the clothing is sandwiched between the upper and lower air bags that are folded in half, the volume of the clothing is reduced by applying pressure with an air pump, and the packaging bag is airtightly sealed. It is something that can be done.

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be explained based on FIGS. 1 to 3.

In Figures 1 to 3, 1 is an air bag, which is folded in two, with the upper part being the upper air bag 1a and the lower part being the upper air bag 1.
b, and these two upper air bags 1a and 1b are integrally formed. 2 is a nozzle provided on the side surface of the upper air bag 1b, 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. Reference numeral 6 denotes a fastener for closing the sides of the upper air bag 1a and the upper air bag 1b, and a fastener is used in this embodiment. With this fastener 6,
The packaging bag 4 can be firmly sandwiched between the upper air bag 1a and the upper air bag 1b.

The operation will be explained based on the above configuration. First, clothing is placed in a packaging bag 4, sandwiched between upper air bags 1a and 1b, and closed with a zipper 6. When air is pumped into the air bag 1 by the air pump 3 in this state, the upper air bag 1a and the upper air bag 1b inflate each other while remaining in the bent state. At this time, the packaging bag 4 containing the clothes is compressed by being sandwiched between the upper air bag 1a and the upper air bag 1b, and the air inside the packaging bag 4 is discharged to the outside. At the same time,
The clothing stored in the packaging bag 4 is also compressed and reduced to a smaller size than its initial volume. Here, packaging bag 4
The opening of the packaging bag 4 is slightly sandwiched between the sealing device 5 and the upper air bag 1a and the upper air bag 1b expand.
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 with the clothing inside the packaging bag 4 being shrunk due to the action of the air bag 1, the packaging bag 4 will be able to store the shrunk clothing inside. It will be packaged airtightly and compactly while still contained.

In addition, as a sealing method of the sealing device 5, various methods can be considered, such as thermal sealing or mechanically sandwiched sealing.

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, more clothes can be stored in a drawer or clothes case to compensate for the reduced volume of clothes. In addition, sealing the clothes protects them from insects and mold, and also prevents dust mites and dust from attaching to them, making them extremely hygienic. Furthermore, since the compressing part of the device itself is an air bag, when it is not in use, the air inside the air bag can be removed and compacted, making it small and lightweight without taking up much space, making it easy to use. . In addition, if the upper air bag and the side surfaces of the upper air bag are closed using fasteners as in the embodiment, it is more effective to prevent the two air bags from becoming round independently. .
