DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a laundry net that can be used for both washing and drying.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in order to prevent the laundry from being entangled with each other or to lose its shape when the washing machine is used, a net-like washing net has been used.

[0003] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-24376 discloses that, during washing and drying, the shape is not lost,
There is disclosed a laundry net that can be dried as it is after washing and saves time and effort for drying.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. Hei 10-249090 discloses a netting bag for both washing and drying.

[0005]

The prior arts disclosed in the above publications are all directed to relatively large laundry such as sweaters, shirts, blouses, and the like.
In addition, when drying the laundry, the laundry is dried while being stored in the net bag. However, in such a configuration, when a relatively small number of laundry items such as socks and handkerchiefs are stored in the mesh bag, the laundry items may be entangled with each other inside the mesh bag. In addition, if the net bag is hung while these small articles are stored inside after washing, it is expected that the laundry will be in a dumpling shape and difficult to dry. Furthermore, although the net bag is breathable, the laundry is pressed by the net bag and comes into contact with the outside air through the mesh, so it takes more time to dry than in the case of directly touching and drying the outside air. That would be.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above background, and has as its object to provide a laundry net which can be used for both laundry and dried laundry, and which is suitable for use in accommodating a plurality of relatively small laundry items. The purpose is to provide a business net.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a washing net that can reduce the total working time before and after washing.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, there is provided a laundry net which can be used both for washing and for drying. At least a part thereof has an opening which can be closed, and a net bag which can be turned over through this opening. A plurality of fasteners attached to the inside of the mesh bag for fixing laundry, the laundry is fixed to the fastener before washing, the opening of the mesh bag is closed, and after washing, The laundry is suspended through the mesh bag in a state where the mesh bag is turned over while the laundry is fixed to the fastener.

Here, "mounting" means not only the case where the entire fastener is fixed at a predetermined position inside the mesh bag, but also that only a part of the fastener is fixed and the fastener can swing around the part. It also includes the case of mounting so that Furthermore, it also includes the case where it is indirectly attached to a net bag via a string or the like. Further, "fixing laundry" includes a case where at least a part (one location) of one laundry is fixed and a case where a plurality of locations are fixed.

[0010] With this configuration, after washing, all the laundry can be dried at the same time by directly hanging on the net bag in a form directly touching the outside air. Therefore, even for a large number of small laundry items, it is possible to easily and simplify the operation after the washing and to shorten the operation time.

In the present invention, it is necessary to attach each piece of laundry to the fastener before washing, but this is a task before the laundry gets wet, so that the task is performed in a wet state after washing. Is easy. Further, in the present invention, since at least a part of the individual laundry is fixed to the net bag inside the net bag, the entanglement between the laundry items in the net bag after washing is reduced. Therefore, the working time is shortened.

[0012] In addition to the above configuration, the washing machine may further include a suspender for hanging the mesh bag with the mesh bag turned upside down after washing.

If a movement preventing means for preventing the movement of the laundry while the laundry is accommodated in the mesh bag is provided, the entanglement between the laundry can be further prevented.

[0014]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a schematic configuration of a laundry net according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The laundry net 10 according to this embodiment includes a substantially rectangular cloth-like mesh member 13.
Is folded in two, but the fasteners 23 are provided on three sides of the open periphery. FIG. 1 shows a state in which the mesh bag is completely opened. By grasping the handle 20 of the fastener 23 and closing the fastener 23, a net bag is formed. The ears 21 provided at both ends of the fastener 23
Each is for gripping when the fastener 23 is opened and closed. The material of the mesh member 13 may be the same as the existing laundry net, but any material having flexibility, water resistance, and durability can be used.

A plurality of fasteners 1 are provided inside the opened mesh bag.
2 is attached. In the illustrated example, the open mesh member 1
3 Clothespin-like fasteners 1 along the upper and lower sides
2 are arranged inward. Each of the fasteners 12 is provided on the belt-like base cloth 11 fixed to the mesh member 13.
It is attached via a second attachment portion 9. The two rows of these fasteners 12 are displaced from each other by a half pitch in the arrangement direction, and when the fastener 23 is closed to form a bag, the fasteners 12 of both rows are arranged alternately so as not to collide. (See FIG. 2). This fastener 12
Is itself known. The fastener in the present invention may have any configuration as long as a part of the laundry can be fixed inside the net. In addition, as a method of attaching the fastener to the net bag, the case where it is directly tightly attached to the net bag is shown, but it may be attached so as to be swingable with the mesh bag with respect to the mesh bag, It may be attached indirectly via a string or the like.

In the center of the open mesh bag shown in FIG.
The other base cloth 19 is fixed in parallel with the base cloth 19, and hanging members 18 are attached to the base cloth 19 at two places on both ends. The hanging member 18 includes a spring portion 17 for closing an opening of the hook-shaped main body 22.
, And the base 16 is fixed to the foundation cloth 19. When the spring portion 17 is pressed inward by an object to be hung, it swings around one end thereof, so that the object can enter the space of the hook-shaped main body 22. The configuration itself of the hanging tool 18 is also an existing one, and the hanging tool in the present invention may have any configuration as long as it can be hung on an object to be hung.

On the open mesh bag shown in FIG.
A female snap 15 and a male snap 24 (movement preventing means) that can be attached to and detached from each other are fixed at an intermediate position between the end portions of the base cloth 11. The movement preventing means has a function of fixing the two nets of the net bag between the laundry fixed to the fastener 12 to prevent the laundry from freely moving. In this example, two sets of snaps are provided, but the number of sets need not be two. The base cloth 14 is also provided at these snap positions. Each of the base cloths 11, 14, and 19 is for securely attaching the member to be attached to the mesh member 13 while maintaining a predetermined strength. When there is no problem even if the member is directly attached to the mesh member 13. Does not require a foundation cloth.

FIG. 2 shows a state in which one end of a sock as an example of the laundry is fixed to the fastener 12 of the washing net 10 in FIG. 1 and the fastener 23 is tightened to form a bag. The laundry using the laundry net 10 is not limited to socks, but can be used for any accessory. It is preferable to use the fasteners 12 to be used in a distributed manner according to the number of laundry items. Also, if a plurality of fasteners 12 are used for one laundry, the laundry net 10 can be used for relatively large laundry. With the fasteners 23 fastened, the fasteners 12 and the suspenders 18 are all inside the bag to avoid direct contact with the tub wall of the washing machine. In this sense, when the fastener 23 is closed, it is preferable that the handle 20 be pushed into the inside of the bag. Further, in this example, the laundry inside the laundry net 10 is separated into three regions by connecting the snap 24 to the snap 15 at two places. In this state, the laundry net 10 is thrown into the washing machine to perform washing.

According to the present embodiment, each laundry is fixed in the mesh bag by the fastener 12, so that the fastener 1
The entanglement between the laundry items during washing is reduced as compared with the case where there is no 2. The use of the snaps 24 and 25 has the effect of further reducing entangling.

FIG. 3 shows that after washing and dehydration, the washing net 10 is taken out of the washing tub, the fasteners 23 and the snaps 15 and 24 are opened, the net bag is turned over, and the net is hung on the existing hanger 30 and dried. It shows the state where it was done. In this example, the suspension on the hanger 30 is performed by attaching the above-described two hanging members 18 to both shoulders of the hanger 30. The hanger 30 itself has its hook 33
Can be hooked on a clothesline. Hanging equipment 18
May be attached not to the shoulder of the hanger 30 but to the bar below the hanger 30. By hanging the hanger 30 on the slanted shoulder, when both the hanging nets 18 and the laundry 31 are hung by the weight, It can be prevented from being pulled in a direction approaching each other. As can be seen from FIG. 3, the individual laundry 31 is still attached to the fastener 12, and is hung from the laundry net 10 by directly touching the outside air. Therefore, the drying time can be reduced as compared with the case where the laundry is dried while being stored in the mesh bag.

Next, when the laundry 31 is dried,
A method that does not use is described with reference to FIG. In this example, the laundry net 10 that is fully open is passed over a bar-shaped member such as a clothesline 41 and the laundry 31 is hung. In this case, it is desirable that the laundry net 10 be fixed to the laundry rod 41 by an arbitrary method so that the combined body of the laundry net 10 and the laundry 31 does not slip off from the laundry rod 41.
When such a drying method is performed, the hanging member 18 can be omitted.

Although the fasteners 23 are provided on three sides of a substantially rectangular mesh bag, the fasteners need not necessarily extend on three sides. For example, the fastener may be provided only in the upper side of FIG. 2 or in a range up to the middle of the upper side and adjacent sides on both sides. In such a case, the laundry 31
When attaching to the fastener 12, the operation is facilitated by turning the net bag upside down through the opening of the opened fastener. The flipped net bag is turned over again before washing, the laundry is stored in the net bag, and the fastener 23 is closed.

FIG. 5 shows a schematic configuration of a laundry net 50 according to a second embodiment of the present invention. This has a substantially rectangular bag-shaped net-like member 13 with a part thereof (in this example, an opening extending in the hanging direction substantially at the center of the bag, and a fastener 52 is arranged here. When the laundry 31 is attached to the fastener 12 during washing, the bag is turned over through the opening with the fastener 52 opened.After attaching the laundry to the fastener 12, the bag is turned over again. , Close fastener 23, snap 24
Also fasten. After the washing is completed, the snap is removed, the bag is turned over again, and the laundry 31 is hung down along with the washing net 50 using the hanging tool 18 and dried. The condition when dried is
It is almost the same as the case of FIG. The difference from the case of FIG. 3 is that the periphery of the mesh member 13 is closed to form a bag.

According to the first embodiment, since the inside of the mesh bag can be fully opened, the laundry can be easily attached to the fastener 12. On the other hand, according to the second embodiment, the length of the fastener can be reduced. Since the length is short, the cost of the laundry net can be reduced.

The position and direction in which the fastener 52 is arranged are not limited to those shown in FIG. 5, but may be other positions and directions.

FIG. 6 shows a schematic configuration of a laundry net 60 according to a third embodiment of the present invention. This washing net 60 has a full-open configuration like the washing net 10 of FIG. 1, but is parallel to the row of the fasteners 12 attached to the base cloth 11, and further has another row of the fasteners 12. Is added in two columns. In this example, the added base cloth 62 for the fastener 12 is shared as the base cloth for the snaps 15 and 24. According to the third embodiment, it is possible to arrange more fasteners 12 and store more laundry in the net. Further, two pairs of new hanging members 18 are also mounted on the base cloth 11 at both ends. by this,
As shown in FIG. 7, the object can be suspended over different objects to be suspended (for example, hangers). In this case, the intervals between the rows of the laundry 31 at the time of drying are widened, so that the laundry can be prevented from being crowded. In addition, since the hanging member 18 at the center is also left, the drying method shown in FIG. 3 can be selectively adopted. The user is free to use a large number of fasteners 12, for example, one laundry can be used for a plurality of fasteners 1.
By fixing at 2, the entanglement between the laundry items can be further prevented.

The laundry net 1 according to the embodiment shown in FIG.
At 0, it is also possible to provide a row of hanging members 18 at the end as shown in FIG. 6 and selectively adopt the drying method as shown in FIG.

While the preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described above, various modifications and changes other than those described above are possible. For example, although the "closable opening" is formed by the fastener 23, any member or means capable of selectively closing the opening may be used. Although the hanger is shown as an object to be hung by the hanging device 18, any object may be used as long as it can be hung. Further, the specific structures, shapes, arrangement positions, directions, and the like of the illustrated individual components (for example, fasteners and hanging devices) are examples for description, and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0030]

According to the laundry net of the present invention, even if a plurality of relatively small laundry items are accommodated, the wet individual laundry items are taken out of the net after the laundry while preventing entanglement with each other. It is possible to hang individual laundry items directly in contact with the outside air only by suspending the net without suspending the laundry. Therefore, even after a large number of small laundry items, the labor after washing can be greatly reduced.
Further, if a movement preventing means for preventing the movement of the laundry in a state where the laundry is stored in the net bag is provided, a further effect of preventing the laundry from entangled in the net can be obtained.
