Abstract
A clothes hamper assembly consisting of an outer case (60), an inner basket (70), a lid (80), and a divider (90). Inner basket (70) is suspended inside outer case (60) by upper rim (38). Lid (80) is pivotally attached to outer case (60) and covers the top of the hamper assembly when in the closed position. Ventilation holes (40) throughout inner basket (70) allow for air to circulate within the hamper assembly. Outer case (60) and lid (80) prevent odors from escaping into the surrounding air. Divider (90) is used to divide the inner basket as the owner sees fit. The use of an air-freshening device along with a moisture-absorbing product inside the hamper assembly further reduces the odor buildup inside the hamper.
Description
- 1. Field of Invention
- This invention generally relates to a clothes hamper assembly, and more specifically to a hamper designed for the collection of soiled or wet athletic clothing.
- 2. Prior Art
- Clothes hampers are generally known in the art, being intended for the collection and storage of soiled laundry. Typically hampers are either a single compartment design in which all of the clothing is stored together, or the hamper is divided into multiple compartments to allow for clothing to be separated as the owner sees fit. Another common aspect of hamper design is the ventilation of odors from within the hamper to the outside air. However, regardless of the number of compartments or the presence of ventilation holes, the buildup of odors from within clothes hampers has continued to be a problem, especially with the addition of wet or sweat-soaked athletic clothing.
- U.S. Pat. No. 3,958,715 to Capelli (1976) discloses a partitioned ventilated hamper for the separation of dry and damp articles of clothing. U.S. Pat. No. 6,062,416 to Smillie (2000) incorporates ventilation holes in the inner compartments and outer walls of the hamper and provides for air freshening means for assisting in the elimination of odors. While these and other ventilated designs are an improvement over no ventilation at all, they merely allow the excess odor from within the hamper to permeate the surrounding air in the room where the hamper is located. With the addition of wet or sweat-soaked clothing, increased levels of bacteria, mold, mildew, and their odors can reach such high levels within the hamper, that normal laundry or fine washables sharing the hamper can be ruined. In addition, the ventilation of these odors can quickly foul the air of the room in which the hamper is stored.
- Accordingly, several objects and advantages of this invention are:
-
- (a) to provide a clothes hamper specifically designed for the storage of wet or sweat-soaked athletic clothing;
- (b) to eliminate odors from being ventilated into the surrounding air outside the hamper without the buildup of odors inside the hamper;
- (c) to reduce humidity within the hamper;
- (d) to provide a clothes hamper to store wet or sweat-soaked athletic clothing apart from other laundry;
- (e) to divide up the interior compartment of the hamper as the owner sees fit;
- (f) to provide for an air-freshening device.
- Still further objects and advantages will become apparent from a consideration of the ensuing description and drawings.
- These objects are obtained in a clothes hamper assembly that includes a removable, ventilated laundry basket suspended inside an unventilated outer case, which is covered by a lid on the top. A container of calcium chloride or other moisture-absorbing product placed at the bottom of the outer case reduces moisture in the air within the outer case. An air-freshening device is placed in a receptacle located on the underside of the lid helps to control odors within the outer case. Wet or sweat-soaked clothing can be stored inside the ventilated laundry basket without worry of bacteria, mold, mildew, or odors building to unacceptable levels within the hamper. This reduces the need for frequent, small wash loads, which in turn conserves resources.

outer case 60,inner basket 70,lid 80, anddivider 90.FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the hamper fully assembled with the lid in the closed position. - The outer case 60 (
FIG. 1 ) is a one piece design, generally in the shape of a rectangular box, open at the top and supported byouter case floor 10, shown inFIG. 7 . Theouter case floor 10 joins the bottom ofouter case front 14, the bottom ofouter case back 16, the bottom of outer caseleft side 18, and the bottom of outer caseright side 20, forming the outer case which is open at the top. Located on top of theouter case back 16 islid receptacle 26. Toward the top half of the outer caseleft side 18 is left side handle 22. Toward the top half of the outer caseright side 20 isright side handle 24. On the top and center of theouter case floor 10 iscontainer anchor 12, shown inFIG. 7 . Theouter case 60 is constructed of plastic and may also be infused or treated with an anti-bacterial or anti-microbial agent that will help to minimize or prevent odor within the outer case. - Located at the top edge of the
outer case back 16 is lid receptacle 26 (FIGS. 3 and 4 ).Lid receptacle 26 is a plastic tube-shaped piece molded to the top edge ofouter case back 16. Each end is open and deep enough to receive left or rightpivot point knobs 52. This allows the lid to be securely fastened to the outer case and to open and close over the top of the outer case. The lid receptacle location allows for the inner basket to be removed while thelid 80 is in the open position. Thelid 80 is a one piece design and shaped generally rectangular which allows it to cover the opening of theouter case 60 andinner basket 70 while in a closed position. Thelid 80 is constructed of plastic and may also be infused or treated with an anti-bacterial or anti-microbial agent that will help to minimize or prevent odor within the outer case. - Located at the left and right rear corners of
lid top 42 arepivot point knobs 52 and 54. (FIG. 4 ) Each knob is of a shape and size which will fit into its respective end of the lid receptacle. This design allows for the lid to open and close and to not obstruct the removal of the inner basket while the lid is in the open position. -
Lid handle 50 is located at the center edge offront skirt 48. The design allows for simple operation of the lid while still allowing the front skirt and side skirts 44 and 46 to prevent odors from escaping the hamper. - Located in the center and on the underside of the lid top is
deodorizer compartment 56. Thedeodorizer compartment 56 is a small box that is used to hold an air-freshening device (deodorizer) (not shown) of the owners choosing. All sides of the deodorizer compartment feature small ventilation holes 59 to allow for dispersal of the air freshener, which helps to fight odors within the hamper. On the front upper center portion of the deodorizer compartment isdeodorizer compartment opening 58. The opening allows for an air-freshening device to be inserted or removed from the deodorizer compartment. The location of the opening also allows for the lid to be placed in the open or closed position without causing the air-freshening device to fall out of the compartment. - Located at the bottom of the
outer case 60 is container anchor-12 (FIG. 7 ). The purpose of thecontainer anchor 12 is to hold steady a container of calcium chloride (not shown) or other moisture-absorbing product that reduces moisture from the air inside the hamper. The container anchor-12 is fixed toouter case floor 10, and is generally the same shape and diameter of the moisture-absorbing product's container. This allows the product container to sit securely in the container anchor-12, which in turn minimizes product spillage if the hamper is moved. - The
outer case 60 has two recessed handles, 22 and 24, which are used to aid with moving the hamper. Eachhandle 22, 24 is molded into its respective side of theouter case 60. - The
lid 80 has a top 42, aleft skirt 44, aright skirt 46, and afront skirt 48. Located at the front center edge of the front skirt islid handle 50. -
FIG. 2 shows a perspective view ofinner basket 70. Theinner basket 70 consists of a floor 28 which joins the bottom ofinner basket front 30, the bottom of inner basket back 32, the bottom of inner basket leftside 34, and the bottom of inner basketright side 36, forming the inner basket which is open at the top. Located on top of both inner basket sides 34, 36 and the inner basket front isupper rim 38. Throughout all inner basket surfaces are multiple ventilation holes 40. (Not all ventilation holes are illustrated.) - The
inner basket 70 is a one piece design, generally in the shape of a rectangular box, open at the top. It should be of a shape and size that will allow it to fit inside theouter case 60, leaving enough room for air to circulate between theinner basket 70 and theouter case 60. Theinner basket 70 is typically constructed of plastic and may also be infused or treated with an anti-bacterial or anti-microbial agent that will help to minimize or prevent odor within theouter case 60. Located throughout all inner basket surfaces areventilation holes 40, which allow air to circulate within theinner basket 70 and theouter case 60. Theinner basket 70 attaches to theouter case 60 atupper rim 38. Theupper rim 38 is a downwardly curving piece which is molded onto the top of the inner basket sides 34, 36 and the inner basket front. Theinner basket 70 is suspended inside theouter case 60 by fitting theupper rim 38 over the top edge of the outer case sides 34, 36 and theouter case front 14. -
FIG. 6 shows a perspective view ofdivider 90. Located near each corner of thedivider 90 is adivider tab 37. Thedivider 90 is perforated with multiple divider ventilation holes 39. Thedivider 90 is a one piece design that allows theinner basket 60 to be divided as the owner sees fit. Thedivider 90 is constructed of plastic and may also be infused or treated with an anti-bacterial or anti-microbial agent, which will help to minimize or prevent odor within the inner basket. Thedivider 90 should be of a shape and size that closely matches the height and depth of theinner basket 70. Fourdivider tabs 37, one located near each corner of thedivider 70, fit through an adjacent ventilation hole of theinner basket 70 and hold thedivider 90 in place. Located throughout the divider are numerous divider ventilation holes 39 which allow air to circulate between the divided sections of theinner basket 60. - Fully assembled, this hamper prevents odors from escaping into the surrounding air while simultaneously reducing the buildup of odors within the hamper. Thus, soiled athletic clothing can be stored for several days without excessive levels of bacteria, mold, mildew, or their odors building within the hamper or escaping into the surrounding air.
