Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a storage box main body 1 with an exhaust port 2 formed in the upper part, a hot air fan 3 attached to the lower part, and a grid-like structure above the hot air fan 3 for placing a futon. This is a futon drying storage box characterized by having a partition shelf 4 and a plurality of substantially inverted U-shaped futon supports 11 arranged side by side across both ends of the partition shelf 4. To provide a futon drying storage box which can dry futons while storing them, and can increase the strength of a partition shelf while increasing drying efficiency.

Traditionally, futons are stored in closet-like storage areas, but these storage areas are sealed and separated by partition plates, which prevents air movement and does not have a drying function.
In order to remove moisture from the futon, it is necessary to take it out of storage and dry it in a dryer or dry it outdoors, which requires a great deal of effort.

The present invention overcomes the above-mentioned drawbacks and will be explained in more detail below with reference to the illustrated embodiments.

The storage box main body 1 is a box with a rectangular cross section with an open front, the interior is a space, and a door 5 is hinged to the front so that it can be opened and closed.

An exhaust port 2 is drilled near the rear side of the top plate 6 of the storage box body 1, and an air intake port 8 is opened at the lower front side of one side plate 7. The rear end of the hot air heater 3 attached above is connected.

A partition shelf 4 for placing a futon, which is approximately the same size as the cross section of the storage box main body 1, is installed horizontally between the side plates 7 above the hot air heater 3, and the partition shelf 4 is made of wooden lattice or wire mesh. It has a lattice-like shape to allow air to circulate, and the partition shelf 4 has a plurality of membranes in the vertical direction between both side plates 7.

However, in order to dry the futon 10 while storing it, the partition shelf 4
Place the futon 10 spread flat on the top surface, close the door 5, operate the air heater 3, heat the air sucked in from the air intake port 8 with the air heater 3, and send the hot air to the storage box body 1. The hot air is directly applied to the futon 10 through the grid-like gaps of the partition shelf 4 to dry the futon 10, and the humid air evaporated from the futon 10 is released from the exhaust port 2 to the outside of the storage box main body 1. It is something to do.

As shown in FIG. 2, if a plurality of futon supports 11 having an upwardly protruding approximately inverted U-shape are installed parallel to the side plate 7 between the front end and the back end of the partition shelf 4, the futon support can be achieved. 11, the futon 10 can be folded into folds and placed on the partition shelf 4, and even if the bottom area of the storage box body 1 is small, a large futon 10 can be dried in a short time. This has the effect of reinforcing 4.

In the present invention, a hot air fan is attached to the lower part of the storage box main body, and a grid-shaped partition shelf for placing the futon is provided above the hot air fan, so that the futon can be placed on the partition shelf and the futon can be placed on the air warmer. Blowing out hot air,
The futon can be dried by blowing hot air directly onto the futon through the lattice-like gaps, and since an exhaust vent is provided at the top of the storage box body, the air containing moisture that has evaporated from the futon can be exhausted from the exhaust vent. This allows you to easily dry the futon while it is stored, and in addition, there is an almost inverted U-shape across both ends of the partition shelf.
Since multiple letter-shaped futon covers are arranged side by side, the futon covers can be placed in a wavy manner on the partition shelf by using the approximately inverted U-shaped futon covers installed in parallel. Even if the futon is long in length, hot drying air can be blown over substantially the entire surface of the wavy futon, which has the advantage of effectively drying the futon.

Furthermore, the lattice-like partition shelf can be reinforced by the plurality of roughly inverted U-shaped futon covers that span both sides of the partition shelf.In other words, the strength of the partition shelf can be increased by effectively utilizing the material that increases drying efficiency. It is something that can be improved.
