Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) This invention relates to a clothes drying device in which a member for accommodating clothes is constituted by a bag.

(Prior Art) For example, when washing underwear or the like while traveling, it is often the case that there is no place to dry the washed items. Even in daily life, there are times when it is desirable to dry items that need to be washed while avoiding being exposed to the public if possible. Especially when traveling, it is not always possible to use a dedicated dryer.

By the way, it is known to dry clothes using a bag for blowing warm air in a futon dryer (Japanese Patent Publication No. 11240/1983). In this system, a hanger with clothes hung on it is housed in a bag, the hanger and the bag are hung and supported on a wall, etc., and hot air is blown from the bottom end of the bag to dry the clothes.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) If the above-mentioned bag for storing clothes and a hair dryer are carried on a trip, the hair dryer can be used as a hot air supply source to dry clothes. Of course, underwear and the like can be dried at home while avoiding the outdoors.

However, when the bag for blowing hot air mentioned above is used for storing clothes, a frame body and a hanger are essential to keep the top surface of the bag in a rectangular shape. In other words, if you simply store clothes that contain a lot of moisture in a bag, the clothes will overlap the inner bottom of the bag, and only the surface will come into contact with the warm air, making it difficult for the clothes to dry. Supports will be required. As described above, when a bag is conventionally used to store clothes, bulky accessories for supporting the clothes are essential, and the bag is not suitable for use at home or for traveling.

This invention was proposed in view of the above circumstances, and when drying clothes by storing them in a bag, the clothes can be easily dried without using a shape-retaining frame or a clothes support member such as a hanger. To provide a bag body capable of supporting clothes and efficiently drying clothes.

Another object of this invention is to obtain a bag for storing clothes that can be folded and stored and is suitable for carrying on trips and the like.

(Means for Solving the Problem) In this invention, the clothing A can be spread out and supported on the upper surface of the hammock-shaped clothing support 19 inside the bag body 2, and the shape-retaining frame made of a hard material is used. This allows clothing A to be supported without the use of other materials.

Specifically, as shown in FIG.
Connecting port 2 connected to the air outlet on the hot air supply device side
3 and an air exhaust part for discharging the air sent from the hot air supply device to the outside, and a net clothing support 19 is disposed inside the bag 2. The inside of the bag body 2 is divided into a clothes storage chamber 24 and a ventilation chamber 25 to prevent the clothes A from coming into contact with the inner bottom of the bag body 2, and to prevent the clothes A from coming into contact with the inner bottom of the bag body 2, and to prevent the clothes A from coming into contact with the inner bottom of the bag body 2, and to prevent the clothes A from coming into contact with the inner bottom of the bag body 2. Dry clothing A from both the top and bottom.

That is, by alternately fixing the intermediate portions of the clothing supports 19 to the upper outer skin 17 and lower outer skin 18 of the bag 2, the inside of the bag 2 is connected to the upper clothing storage chamber 24.
and a lower ventilation chamber 25, and at least the lower outer skin 18 of the bag body 2 and the midway part of the clothing support 19 are fixed in a dotted manner, and each of the lower ventilation chambers is divided into a plurality of chambers. 25 is formed in a continuous shape.
A removable fastener 2 is provided in the middle of the garment support 19.
6 can be used to fasten to the upper outer skin 17 and lower outer skin 18 of the bag body 2, respectively.

(Function) When the clothing A is stored in the clothing storage chamber 24 partitioned by the clothing support 19 and expanded, the clothing A is placed on the clothing support 19 and hot air is blown into the inner bottom of the bag 2. The clothing A can be supported above, and the warm air passing through the clothing storage chamber 24 and the ventilation chamber 25 can
Clothing A is dried from both the upper and lower sides at the same time.

(Effect of the invention) According to the clothes drying device of the invention as described above, clothes can be supported within the bag body 2 without using a clothes support made of hard material such as a shape-retaining frame or a hanger. Since both the upper and lower sides of the unfolded clothing A can be brought into contact with the drying air at the same time, drying can be carried out efficiently. For example, even when drying the clothes A using a hair dryer 3 with a small hot air supply capacity, the clothes A can be dried reliably and in a relatively short time.

Since there is no need for bulky accessories such as a shape-retaining frame, clothing A can be easily dried as long as there is space to place bag 2, and there are no restrictions on where it can be used, and when carrying it on a trip etc. This is advantageous in that the bag 2 can be folded into a small size and stored.

In particular, by alternately fixing the intermediate portions of the clothing supports 19 to the upper outer skin 17 and lower outer skin 18 of the bag body 2, the inside of the bag body 2 is divided into an upper clothing storage chamber 24 and a lower ventilation chamber 25. Since each of the compartments is divided into a plurality of chambers, the garments A do not bunch up in one place during drying, and can be dispersed in each garment storage chamber 24. In addition, the lower outer skin 18 of the bag body 2 and the middle part of the clothing support 19 are each fixed in a dotted manner to form the lower ventilation chambers 25 in a continuous manner, so that the clothing A is It is supported in a suspended state in each upper clothing storage chamber 24 via the side ventilation chamber 25, and the warm air passing through the net-shaped clothing support 19 and flowing into the clothing storage chamber 24 and the ventilation chamber 25
The hot air passing through contacts both the upper and lower surfaces of the clothing A, and the drying efficiency of the clothing A can be improved.

Furthermore, while the warm air moves through the bag body 2 from the connecting port 23 toward the exhaust section 21, the warm air that passes through one clothing storage chamber 24 does not directly flow into the next clothing storage chamber 24. , since the air passes through the intermediate ventilation chamber 25 once, when the warm air containing moisture exits the previous clothing storage chamber 24 and passes through the ventilation chamber 25, the moisture is relaxed and the air enters the next clothing storage chamber 24. The hot air at the time of the drying process is effective at removing moisture, and this also improves drying efficiency.
