Definitions

  • Stone ABSTRACT A device for conditioning fabrics in a dryer comprising a spherical-shaped body having a plurality of openings therein which are filled with a solid-type fabric conditioner. Since the spherical body is of a resilient material, there will be little noise or vibration caused thereby during the drying cycle.
  • This invention relates to the treatment of fabrics in a dryer and more particularly to a device for holding a fabric conditioner and for releasing the conditioning material when placed with clothes during the normal drying cycle in a household dryer.
  • coated fabric or plastic material heretofore used has generally been stiff and of such a size as to cause noise or vibration in the dryer during at least the early stages of use thereof.
  • the present invention overcomes the disadvantages of the prior fabric conditioners by providing a resilient spherical body having a hollow center and opening therein for reception of a solid-type fabric conditioner.
  • the fabric conditioner will be evenly released from all portions of the spherical-shaped body and because of the fact that the body is spherical in shape, there will be less noise and vibration when tumbling in the dryer.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a device for conditioning fabrics in a dryer which is spherical in shape and has a hollow cylinder and is provided with openings for controlled dispensing of the fabric-conditioning material while permitting use and reuse of the device over an extended period of time.
  • the openings which can be formed in the spherical body may be in the form of wedge-shaped segments, bores, or openings of substantially rectangular shape or of such other shape and size as otherwise is found suitable.
  • the degree of softening will be controlled by the amount of conditioning material exposed and therefore the dimensions and number of openings in the spherical-shaped body.
  • Still further objects and features of this invention reside in the provision of a device for conditioning fabrics in a dryer that is simple in construction, capable of being manufactured by mass production methods, and which is especially pleasing in appearance and easy for the housewife to use and reuse.
  • FIG. I is an elevational view of a device constructed in accordance with the concepts of the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a horizontal sectional view taken along the plane of line 22 of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 is an elevational view of a modified form of the invention
  • FIG. 4 is a radial sectional view of the embodiment of the invention as shown in FIG. 3;
  • FIG. 5 is an elevational view of a further embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 6 is a sectional view of yet another modification of the invention.
  • reference numeral 10 is used to generally designate a device for conditioning fabrics in a dryer in accordance with the concepts of the present invention.
  • the device I0 includes a ball or spherical-shaped body [2 of closed cell styrofoam or other slmllar synthetic plastic foam material having a characteristic of resiliency and light weight.
  • the body 12 may have a hollow center, but in the form of the invention as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a plurality of wedge-shaped segments forming openings 14 are provided in the spherical body I2 and extend more than half the distance from the surface l6 of the spherical-shaped body 12 to the center of the body 12.
  • a solid-type fabric conditioning material is deposited in the openings 14 and bonds thereto.
  • the ball 22 has a plurality of bores 24 therein which are radially spaced and which are filled with the fabric-conditioning material and preferably extend more than one-half the radius of the sphere 22.
  • the spherical body 32 is provided with a plurality of openings 34 therein which are generally rectangular in shape in cross section and are filled with a suitable solid-type fabric conditioning material 36.
  • FIG. 6 there is shown a form of the invention similar to that of FIG. 4 wherein the spherical body 42 is provided with a hollow center 48.
  • the bores 44 communicate with the hollow center 48 and are filled with the solid fabric-conditioning material 46 which is integral with the solid fabric-conditioning material 50 in the hollow center 48.
  • the ball In use, the ball is disposed with the clothes to be dried in the conventional household dryer and the fabric-conditioning material will be released during the drying cycle.
  • the temperature of the drying cycle and the wiping action of the tumbling garments with respect to the ball will control the release of fabric conditioning material.
  • a device for conditioning fabrics in a dryer comprising a sphere having openings in the surface thereof, and solid fabric conditioner material disposed in said openings.
  • a device for conditioning fabrics in a dryer comprising a body of synthetic plastic foamed material having a hollow center and a plurality of openings therein communicating with said hollow center, a core of solid fabric conditioning material in said hollow center and extending integrally into said openings.
  • a device wherein said body and said core are spherical in shape.
  • openings include a plurality of radially extending spaced bores.
  • a device for conditioning fabrics in a dryer comprising a resilient spherical body of synthetic plastic-foamed material having a plurality of openings therein, and solid fabric conditioner material disposed and secured in said openings, said openings extending at least one-half the radius of said spherical body.
