Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a laundry storage bag for dry cleaning, which stores and uses laundry during dry cleaning.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in dry cleaning, an organic solvent for dry cleaning (abbreviated as dry solvent) is used instead of water in order to safely wash laundry that shrinks, loses its shape, or loses color when washed with water. I'm using This dry solvent is a volatile liquid having the property of dissolving oily substances, and does not swell the fibers like water. Therefore, when the laundry is immersed in a dry solvent, oily substances such as sebum and oil contained in the exhaust gas which are secreted from the body and adhered to the laundry are melted and removed, and dirt such as soot and dust that remains is mechanically removed. Can be removed. In addition, shrinkage and the like do not occur in the laundry. Incidentally, it is not possible to remove water-soluble stains attached to the laundry using only the dry solvent.

As such a dry solvent, two solvents of tetrachloroethylene (perchlorethylene for short) and a petroleum-based solvent are mainly used. Note that 1,1,
3-trichlorotrifluoroethane (Flon-11 for short)
3) and 1,1,1-trichloroethane (ethane for short)
The two solvents were banned at the end of 1995 in connection with ozone-depleting substances.

[0004] Therefore, when using a dry solvent, there is a problem at present whether to choose a park or a petroleum-based solvent.
Therefore, comparing the characteristics of the two solvents, the park is not flammable and is excellent in flammability, etc. . In addition, the park has the advantage of high productivity because it has a large dissolving power for fats and oils and is easy to volatilize, so that it can be washed and dried in a short time. On the other hand, petroleum solvents have advantages such as high safety (specific gravity, KB value) for laundry, suitable for soft washing, and low cost. Parks have drawbacks such as a texture that tends to become coarse and hard and easy to dissolve resins and pigments.On the other hand, petroleum-based solvents require high temperatures and time for drying, resulting in poor texture and productivity. There are drawbacks.

[0005]

However, the influence on the environment such as air pollution, water pollution and soil pollution has become a serious problem today. In this regard, Park has been designated as a hazardous substance as a Class 2 Specified Chemical Substance under the Chemical Substances Control Law. For this reason, petroleum-based solvents such as the use of parks, which have not set drainage standards that apply regardless of the amount of drainage, and that drainage must not be allowed to penetrate underground from business facilities Special attention should be paid to handling and environmental protection measures.

Accordingly, the mainstream of dry solvents is shifting to petroleum-based solvents, which are natural solvents that have less detergency than parks, but have looser regulations on environmental protection. Generally, water-soluble stains such as sweat and spills that cannot be removed only by dry cleaning adhere to the laundry. Therefore,
Even when a petroleum solvent is used, a dry cleaning detergent (abbreviated as a dry detergent) must be used in order to remove water-soluble stains. However, even with a dry detergent, it is difficult to completely remove water-soluble stains during washing.

For this reason, as a pretreatment, a process such as brushing a stained portion with a pretreatment liquid containing water before cleaning or spraying a stain remover as a pretreatment agent containing water on the stained portion is performed. ing. However, there is a problem in that the pretreatment causes an excessive amount of moisture in the dry cleaning liquid, and the laundry tends to be adversely affected by recontamination, partial shrinkage, and the like. In addition, if the clothes dry-cleaned with a petroleum-based solvent are not sufficiently dried, there is also a problem that a skin disorder may occur to a person who wears clothes in which detergent remains.

The present invention has been made in view of such a conventional problem. First, even if the preprocessing is sufficiently performed,
The water contained in the dry cleaning liquid is unlikely to be excessive, water-soluble stains can be removed from the laundry satisfactorily, and the laundry is less likely to recontaminate, partially shrink, etc., and the laundry loses its shape, is lost, is damaged, etc. An object of the present invention is to provide a laundry storage bag for dry cleaning, which is unlikely to occur.

Second, it is an object of the present invention to provide a dry-cleaning laundry storage bag in which a dry-cleaned laundry can be satisfactorily dried, so that the wearer hardly suffers from skin disorders. Third, suitable for dry cleaning,
An object of the present invention is to provide an inexpensive dry-cleaning laundry storage bag that has a water-absorbing layer excellent in water absorbability, is easy to manufacture, and is inexpensive.

[0010]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, in a dry-cleaning laundry storage bag corresponding to the first object, a water-absorbing layer is formed on the inner surface of a synthetic fiber net bag having an openable and closable opening. Provision.

In the laundry bag for dry cleaning corresponding to the second object, a portion having no water-absorbing layer is almost evenly arranged on the inner surface of the synthetic fiber net bag. In the laundry bag for dry cleaning corresponding to the third purpose, a towel is used for a water absorbing layer.

[0012]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view showing an example of a form of a laundry storage bag for dry cleaning to which the present invention is applied, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line XX of FIG. In the figure, 10 is a laundry bag for dry cleaning, 12 is a rectangular mesh bag made of synthetic fiber made of polyester or the like, and 14 (1
4a,... 14d) are a water-absorbing layer made of a rectangular towel cloth or the like provided on the inner surface of the mesh bag 12, 16 is an opening provided at one end of the mesh bag 12, 18 is a fastener installed in the opening 16 and the like. The opening and closing device. When synthetic fibers are used for the mesh bag 12 in this manner, the synthetic fibers are generally strong, light, resistant to chemicals, insects, and mold, and have low water absorption. It becomes suitable as a bag for storing things. In particular, synthetic fibers such as polyester are preferable because of their good heat resistance and chemical resistance and high strength.

If the water-absorbing layer 14 is provided on the inner surface of the mesh bag 12 by sewing or the like, the water-absorbing layer 14 can absorb the moisture in the dry cleaning liquid well. Therefore, even if the pretreatment is sufficiently performed, the moisture contained in the dry cleaning liquid does not become excessive. However, if the water absorbing layer 14 is provided on the entire inner surface of the mesh bag 12, it is difficult to dry laundry such as clothes in a short time. Therefore, a portion without the water-absorbing layer 14 is provided on the inner surface of the mesh bag 12, and dried air or the like enters therefrom. For example, as shown in FIG.
The upper and lower end portions 20 and 22 are not provided with the water absorbing layer 14, and the central portion 24 has a rectangular area 26 (26) without the water absorbing layer 14.
a,... 26d) are respectively provided between the adjacent water absorbing layers 14, and the portions 28 having no water absorbing layer 14 are arranged substantially evenly on the inner surface of the mesh bag 12. Then, it becomes easy for dry air to enter and exit the storage bag 10 from multiple directions through the location 28.

If a towel is used as the water-absorbing layer 14, the towel is usually made of cotton, and the fabric has a structure such as a ring to absorb moisture well.
Particularly preferred. In addition, cotton is a natural representative clothing fiber, is inexpensive, and has its own general properties such as strongness, good water absorption, heat resistance, and good washing resistance (mechanical resistance). ing.

When the dry cleaning laundry storage bag 10 is used and dry cleaning is performed using a petroleum-based solvent, the pre-treatment liquid may be used as a pretreatment for a stained portion of the laundry such as clothes. Spray or spray with stain remover. The opening 16 of the storage bag 10
Put more laundry inside. At this time, the opening 16 can be freely opened and closed by operating with the knob 30. Therefore, after storing the laundry inside the storage bag 10,
The opening 10 is closed and the washing is performed by immersing the opening 10 in a dry cleaning solution.

During such washing, since the laundry such as clothes is stored in the synthetic fiber net bag 12 constituting the storage bag 10, it does not lose its shape and can be well protected from loss or damage. In addition, the finer the mesh bag 12 is, the less damage is caused by contact with hooks, buttons, fasteners and the like from the outside, so that the laundry can be further protected. However, the smaller the mesh of the mesh bag 12 is, the less the cleaning liquid flows into and out of the storage bag 10. Further, since the water absorbing layer 14 provided on the inner surface of the mesh bag 12 can prevent excess moisture in the dry cleaning liquid, water-soluble stains can be removed from the laundry, and re-contamination, partial shrinkage, etc. of the laundry can be prevented. Less likely to happen.

After the washing, in order to remove the dry solvent and the like from the laundry, the liquid is removed and dried while being kept in the storage bag 10.
The liquid removal method is usually centrifugal liquid removal, but examples of the drying method include tumbler drying, natural drying, and drying in a drying chamber. At the time of drying, if the locations 28 without the water-absorbing layer 14 are arranged substantially evenly on the inner surface of the mesh bag 12, the dried air or the like enters and exits the storage bag 10 from various directions through the locations 28. The laundry can be dried well in a short time.

When such laundry is worn, since the laundry can be dried well, even if a petroleum-based solvent is used, no skin damage occurs to the wearer. In addition, since the dirt and the like attached to the laundry adhere well to the toweling used as the water absorbing layer 14, the storage bag 10 is sometimes washed and used.

In the above-described embodiment, the water absorbing layer 14 is provided on the inner surface of the central portion 24 of the mesh bag 12 at four locations spaced apart at equal intervals. The water absorbing layer 32 is provided on the entire inner surface of the central portion 24 of the mesh bag 12 as shown in FIG. 3, and the water absorbing layer 32 has holes of various shapes, for example, circular holes 3.
4 are provided so as to be evenly arranged in the vertical and horizontal directions.
The portions 36 without the water absorbing layer 32 may be arranged substantially evenly on the inner surface of.

In the above embodiment, the toweling is used as the water-absorbing layer. However, other materials having good water-absorbing properties, such as a knitted fabric used for underwear and a commercially available water-absorbing mat, may be used.

[0021]

According to the present invention described above, claim 1
In the described invention, the water absorbing layer provided on the inner surface of the synthetic fiber mesh bag can absorb moisture well, so that even if the pretreatment is sufficiently performed, the moisture in the dry cleaning liquid is unlikely to become excessive. Therefore, water-soluble stains can be satisfactorily removed from the laundry, and re-contamination, partial shrinkage, and the like hardly occur in the laundry. or,
If a synthetic fiber net bag is used, the laundry is less likely to lose its shape, be lost, be damaged, and the like.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, by arranging almost uniformly the portions having no water-absorbing layer on the inner surface of the mesh bag, dry air or the like enters and exits the storage bag from various directions through those portions. This makes it easier to dry the laundry that has been dry-cleaned. Therefore, no skin trouble occurs when the laundry is worn.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, a towel, which is the most common fabric for the water-absorbing layer, is used, and is suitable for dry cleaning of the towel. Therefore, the laundry storage bag for dry cleaning can be easily and inexpensively manufactured.
