Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a warm air type clothes warmer that can warm clothes and coats while they are hung on a clothes rack.

Having something to dry your coat from a rain shower or something to warm your clothes on a cold day will help you feel more comfortable wearing them. Especially on cold days, if you warm the coats your guests take off while you work, they will appreciate your consideration.

Conventional clothes racks, whether they were hanging or stand-type, had nothing to keep clothes warm. To warm clothes, indoor heaters, stoves, kotatsu, and futon dryers were sometimes used, but these devices were not designed to warm clothes or coats, so they were inefficient and cumbersome. was not eligible.

This invention improves the above-mentioned problem and provides a warm air type clothes warmer that dries and warms clothes and coats while they are hung on a clothes rack.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the hot air type clothes warmer of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. In the figure, (1) is a device that generates hot air when connected to electricity. (2) is a case of the device (1), which has a hanging fitting (3) at the top and a warm air outlet (2a) at the bottom. (4) is the electric wire that conducts electricity to the hot air generator (1);
5) is a support for hanging clothes attached to both sides of the case (2). (6) is a bag that is breathable and resembles the shape of a human torso; (6a) is a string that keeps the thickness of bag (6) constant;
(6b) is the opening of the bag (6), into which the hot air outlet (2a) of the case (2) is inserted, and the upper end surface of the bag (6) is connected to the support (
5) and is attached to the case (2).

That is, the hot air generator (1) includes a motor, a fan, a heater, a time-limited switch, a fuse, etc. in a case (2), and when electricity is turned on, the heater becomes hot. The heat is generated using a motor and a fan to generate wind, which is then discharged as warm air from the outlet (2a) to inflate the bag (6). Although the bag (6) is made of cloth (woven fabric) and has breathability, the amount of warm air blown by the device (1) cannot immediately pass through to the outside because the mesh of the bag is small. Therefore, warm air accumulates in the bag (6), causing it to swell. The bag (6) is heated and warm air is blown out almost uniformly from the entire surface.

If you hang wet or cold clothes on a clothes rack in this state, you can dry them or keep them warm. A case (2) is attached to the upper end of the body-shaped bag (6).
There is a support (5) protruding from the bag, and the weight of the clothes is supported by this support (5), so that no burden is placed on the bag (6). Moreover, even when hot air is not used, clothes can be hung on this support (5), and it can be used as a normal clothes hanger.

Since the clothes are warmed while being hung on the clothes rack, the clothes are less likely to lose their shape, and since warm air is uniformly emitted from the entire surface of the clothes rack, the clothes are easily warmed. Even if you only have a short amount of time to apply hot air, it is convenient because the inside that touches your body gets warmed first.

Hereinafter, other embodiments of the present invention will be described in FIGS. 4 to 6.
This will be explained with a diagram. In the figures, the same (corresponding) parts as those in Figures 1 to 3 are indicated, and (5) is a support that extends from one end of the case (2), is bent downward, and is attached to the other end of the case (2). The body (7) is an oblong hole provided in the bag (6), which penetrates from the front surface to the back surface of the bag (6). (8) is a small hole in the clothes rack.

The support (5) in Fig. 4 is placed so as to receive the lower part of the oblong hole (7), so pants or skirts can be hung on this oblong hole (7), and even if pants or skirts are hung, the (6) has little deformation and is dried and warmed by warm air coming out from the surface of the bag (6).

The shape of the bag (6) has been explained in terms of body shape, but as long as it is large enough to hang clothes and the shape allows warm air to hit inside the clothes, it can be rectangular, ellipsoid, etc., for example. Extend the bottom part
It may be possible to warm up to the length of coats, or two long, slender cylinders may be taken out from the bottom and passed through pants to dry wet pants.

The bag (6) may be stored away when the hot air is not in use; for example, the bag (6) may be removed from the case (2) and stored within the case (2). Alternatively, the supports (5) extending from the case (2) on both sides may have an arc-shaped cross section with a convex upper side, and the bag (6) may be folded inside the arc-shaped supports (5). good.

The support (5) taken out from the case (2) supports the weight of the clothes, but its position does not necessarily have to be inside the bag (6), but on the front side of the bag (6) or double layered. bag (6)
) may be between. The material of the support (5) may be metal, non-metal, plastic, etc., as long as it is strong enough to withstand the heat of hot air and hang clothes. Further, the shape (cross-sectional shape) of the support body (5) may be round, rectangular, or formed by molding. Further, if the main part of the bag (6) has enough strength to support clothes, the support body (5) may be omitted.

The bag (6) for trapping hot air is made of a rigid material such as cloth (woven fabric), copper plate, aluminum plate, or plastic, and is shaped like a trapezoid as shown in Figures 5 and 6.
A small hole (8) is provided on the surface for air to escape. In other words, the figure shows two press-formed plates put together and screwed together to form a clothes hanger. Since the chest of men's clothing is open, the small hole (8) was omitted to eliminate waste of warm air. Even if the material is not breathable, if you make small holes (8) so that it has the same breathability as cloth, you can store warm air inside the bag (6) and distribute the clothes evenly. The heating effect remains the same. As in this example, the bag (6
) has rigidity, it is possible to hang clothes that always maintain their shape regardless of the presence or absence of warm air, and if the surface is covered with cloth, it is possible to hang clothes that look good.

As explained above, this invention houses a device that generates hot air using electricity in a case, and attaches a breathable bag shaped to hang clothes to the case so that the warm air can enter. It is made up of a hook. Then, when the clothes are hung up and the device is turned on when necessary, hot air flows into the bag, warming the surface of the bag, and then hot air comes out from the surface to warm the clothes. Because it hits the cloth, it is easy to warm up, and because it can be warmed while hanging on a Western-style hanger, the clothes do not lose their shape.

The heat source for heating is electricity, which is common in each household.
You can easily make it warmer by just operating a switch.

The hot air generator is located at the top center of the clothes rack (the prime minister's part of the human body).
To provide a convenient warm air type clothes warmer that does not get in the way of the environment and can be used as a normal clothes rack even when hot air is not used.
