Definitions

• the invention relates to a laundry bag with an expansion element with at least one hanging part and a filling or removal opening, which is slit-shaped and extends substantially in the vertical direction at least substantially centrally below the expansion element.
• Laundry bags are described for example in US 4,630,312 A, DE 43 18 559 C and DE 30 17 246 C. They essentially consist of a bag-like sack, an opening which is usually arranged in the upper area of the bag and runs horizontally and a suitable closure of the opening.
• Garment bags are known from WO 95/19726 N of US 4,438,844 A, US 4,572,364 A, US 4,252,220 A, US 3,952,847 A, US 4,949,842 A, US 5,002,183 A and US 3,929224 A. They essentially have a spreading element and an opening, the spreading element being intended to prevent the clothing from being crumpled or crumpled.
• various details such as additional stiffeners, special closures and the like are disclosed in the cited publications.
• a special laundry bag namely a combination with a garment bag, is known from US 5,090,559 A, since it is also intended to be used to transport the cleaned laundry.
• the filling opening is located at the end of the laundry bag opposite an expansion element, which is used to collect the dirty laundry like a normal bag, with a cord around the filling opening for closing.
• Only for delivery of the washed or cleaned laundry is a clothes hanger with its curved hook passed through a small opening of the laundry bag in the edge opposite the filling opening so that the laundry bag as a whole can now be hung up on it (now upside down) and hanging, cleaned clothes in Laundry bag hangs on the hanger.
• this sack hangs "correctly” or "wrong”.
• This laundry bag must therefore be kept in the cupboard or in the bathroom during its intended use as a collecting bag for dirty laundry, takes up space and is also relatively inaccessible as a result. This is particularly important in hotels where both the guests and the service staff should always have such things in view, on the one hand to take care of the hotel's offer for laundry, and on the other hand without having to think about it, to recognize whether laundry is to be supplied or not.
• the invention aims to provide such a laundry bag.
• the filling slot occupies 40 to 60% of the height of the laundry bag and that the upper end of the filling slot is located 10 to 20% of the height of the laundry bag from its upper edge.
• the height of the laundry bag is to be understood as an “average height” which can be determined, for example, as an arithmetic mean.
• the laundry bag is pulled taut and flat due to its own weight and the weight of the laundry items that have already been thrown in, even when the insertion slot is always open, and, unlike conventional laundry bags, hardly bulges. It is therefore possible to hang it up, for example on the bathroom door, the anteroom door or, if desired, on the inside of a cupboard door, without requiring noticeable space.
• the automatic tightening gives you a pleasing shape that can also be used for information or advertising.
• the laundry bag is used privately, it is possible not only to store it separately from a suitcase or in a suitcase, but it can also be stored in the known, especially on Hanging suitcases tailored to clothes or suits can be hung up and transported in them.
• the laundry bag is preferably essentially rectangular, the upper edge on which the expansion element engages can be slightly bent or curved in order to adapt to the expansion element and to improve the hanging properties of the laundry bag.
• the filling or removal opening can be closed, for example by means of a zip fastener or Velcro fastener, or can be closed at individual points, for example by means of buttons or Velcro fastener stains, it must be ensured that the fastener elements, like preferably the entire laundry bag (after removal of the expanding element), are washable is trained.
• the spreading element can be a conventional hanger, preferably in a flat design, or a hanger-like spreading element, which is threaded with its hanging part through a small opening in the middle of the upper edge of the laundry bag.
• the hanging part can also be a rod, a tube or a reinforcement or stiffener arranged in the fabric. It is of course possible to arrange the spreading element outside the laundry bag and to connect it to the spreading element, for example by means of loops which the laundry bag then has in its upper region. However, this will only be used in exceptional cases due to the fact that the laundry bag is then only partially supported.
• the hanging part is preferably a hook, but it can also consist of at least one loop, an eyelet or the like.
• the invention is explained in more detail using an exemplary embodiment shown in the drawing.
• the single figure shows a front view of a laundry bag according to the invention, a small area being broken open to show the spreading element.
• a laundry bag 1 essentially has a filling and removal opening 2 in its upper area, which for mechanical reasons is hemmed accordingly, sewn or the like with a reinforcing material. is trained.
• a spreading element 3 extends in its interior essentially over the entire width of the laundry bag 1, which in the exemplary embodiment shown is of slightly curved design, which is why the upper edge 4 of the laundry bag 1 is also made slightly curved in accordance with this contour.
• the expansion element 3 has in its central, upwardly projecting area a hanger formed as a hook), which, in the case shown, consists, as is usual with hangers, of bent wire and is intended to be used on a rod or the like. to be hanged.
• the hanging part 5 is threaded through a small opening in the central area of the upper edge 4 of the laundry bag 1 and can therefore be threaded back again, whereupon the expansion element 3 can be removed from the laundry bag 1 through the opening 2 and the laundry bag of a normal laundry or a cleaning process can be subjected to, the expansion element 3 can also be cleaned after removal from the laundry bag 1, and optionally disinfected.
• the “average height” H of the laundry bag is indicated laterally in the figure.
• the laundry bag, the expansion element and the hanging part can consist of all the materials from which laundry bags, hangers and their hanging part are usually made; these are preferably materials which, on the one hand, can withstand the rough operation in everyday hotel life and, on the other hand, can be easily and completely cleaned or washed.
