Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to a method for storing or transporting an article such as a futon whose volume can be significantly reduced by being compressed, and a storage device used for storing or transporting the article. Regarding bags.

<Prior art> Although the volume of articles such as futons can be significantly reduced by being compressed, generally when storing or transporting these articles, they are stored in an expanded state of normal volume. The reality is that they are being transported in large quantities.

However, as mentioned above, when storing or transporting futons etc. in a state of expanded normal volume, the storage space or the space occupied on the loading platform during transport becomes enormous, and the occupied space becomes large. In addition to being unable to improve efficiency.

It was also difficult to handle because of its large size. In particular, such disadvantages have been pointed out in recent years in the field of so-called futon washing, which has been actively commercialized.

<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> The present invention has been provided in view of the actual situation, and its purpose is to provide articles such as futons whose volume can be significantly reduced by being compressed. When storing or transporting, by keeping the product in a compact state with a significantly reduced volume, we aim to improve the efficiency of the storage space or the space it occupies on the loading platform during transport, and to make it easier to handle. It is something to do.

<Means for Solving the Problems> In order to achieve the object of the present invention, the present invention attempts to store or transport articles such as futons whose volume can be significantly reduced by being compressed by the following method. It is. In other words, it relates to methods of storing or transporting items such as futons whose volume can be significantly reduced by being compressed.

The article is stored in a sealed state in a storage bag made of a flexible material such as a plastic bag, and a pressure reduction receiver equipped with a pressure reduction control on-off valve opened in the storage bag is opened through a pressure reduction means such as a compressor. After reducing the pressure inside the storage bag and reducing the volume of the article under such reduced pressure, the article is stored or transported by maintaining the reduced volume of the article in the reduced state by controlling the closing of the pressure reduction control opening/closing valve. It is characterized by this.

Further, the present invention provides the following storage bag used for storing or transporting the article. Namely.

A storage bag used to store or transport items such as futons that can be compressed to significantly reduce their volume. These storage bags are made of flexible materials such as vinyl, and can be kept in an airtight state when closed. It forms an opening for loading and unloading articles that can be opened and closed, and a depressurization receiver opened in the storage bag is provided with an opening at an appropriate position of the storage bag. When the pressure inside the storage bag is reduced through the means, the valve is opened by the suction force of the pressure reduction means, and when there is no suction, the valve is closed by the pressure reduction action to maintain the inside of the storage bag in a reduced pressure state. It is characterized by being equipped with a pressure reduction control on-off valve.

<Embodiments> Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the figure, A is an article whose volume can be significantly reduced by being compressed, and since this embodiment uses a futon as an example, it will be simply referred to as a futon hereinafter.

When storing or transporting this futon A by the method of the present invention, first, the futon A is hermetically stored in a storage bag 2 made of a flexible material such as a plastic bag, and then the storage bag 2 is
The pressure reduction receiver which is opened inside and equipped with the pressure reduction control on-off valve 4 has a port 6.
The storage bag 2 is then transferred to the storage bag 2 via a pressure reducing means 8 such as a compressor.
Reduce the pressure inside. Thus, the pressure reduction control on-off valve 4 opens the valve by the suction force of the pressure reduction means 8, and when there is no suction, closes the valve by the pressure reduction action so that the inside of the storage bag 1 can be maintained in a reduced pressure state. Due to this control, the inside of the storage bag 2 is maintained in a reduced pressure state due to the closing control of the pressure reduction control on-off valve 4, and the futon A stored in the storage bag 2 is compressed to atmospheric pressure P and reduced in size. is retained.

Therefore, while the futon A is stored in the storage bag 2 under reduced pressure, its volume is significantly reduced by the compression action of atmospheric pressure, and the reduced pressure state is maintained by the reduced pressure control on-off valve 4 provided in the reduced pressure socket 6. It is stored or transported in a compact, reduced state.

The reduction rate of the futon A varies depending on the capacity of the decompression means 8, but for example, when the suction force of a household vacuum cleaner is used as the decompression means, the reduction rate of the futon A is from 1/4 to 1/4 in volume from the original expanded state. It was possible to reduce the size by 115.

Next, a storage bag used for storing or transporting the futon A will be explained.

As described above, this storage bag 2 is made of a flexible material such as vinyl, and has an opening 10 for inserting and removing the futon A that can be opened and closed to keep the bag in a sealed state when closed. A depressurization socket 6 opened in the storage bag is provided at the position, and the depressurization socket 6 is used to reduce the pressure inside the storage bag 2 via a pressure reduction means 8 such as a compressor.
It is equipped with a pressure reduction control opening/closing valve 4 which is controlled so that the valve is opened by the suction force of the pressure reduction means 8, and when there is no suction, the valve is closed by the pressure reduction action to maintain the inside of the storage bag 2 in a reduced pressure state. It is characterized by

As described above, the loading/unloading port 10 is configured so that the storage bag 2 can be sealed when the loading/unloading port is closed.
It is possible to adopt a device in which a concave and convex striped body is formed on the inner wall surface of the opening of the opening, and a sealed state can be maintained by fitting the concave and convex striped bodies.

In addition, the pressure reduction control opening/closing valve 4 provided in the pressure reduction socket 6 is
As mentioned above, when the pressure inside the storage bag 2 is reduced through the pressure reduction means 8 such as a compressor, the valve is opened by the suction force of the pressure reduction means 8, and at other times, the valve is closed and the pressure inside the storage bag 2 is reduced. For example, under normal conditions, the pressure reducing control opening/closing valve 4 is urged onto the valve seat 5 by its spring pressure, the receiver closes the opening 6, and the suction force of the pressure reducing means 8 is applied. The valve may be configured to open against spring pressure.

Note that 12 in Figure 1 is a flexible hose that connects the pressure reduction means 8 and the pressure reduction socket 6, and 14 in the figure is a detachable cap for reliably closing the pressure reduction socket 6.

<Effects of the Invention> Therefore, when storing or transporting an article whose volume can be significantly reduced by compressing it, such as a futon, using the method and storage bag of the present invention, it is necessary to place the inside of the storage bag under reduced pressure. By holding the item, the volume of the item can be significantly reduced and the item can be kept in a compact state, which makes it possible to significantly improve the efficiency of the storage space or the space occupied on the loading platform when transporting it, and also to make it easier to handle it during transport. I can figure it out.
