Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a laundry net that allows blankets to be washed in a two-tub washing machine.

It is best to wash items such as blankets that are easily damaged when they come into contact with a rotating pulsator in a laundry net, in which case the laundry net is either fixed to a washing tub or rotated by a stream of water. When such a net is used in a two-tank washing machine, even if it can be washed well, it is very difficult to properly roll up the heavy blanket due to water content and place it in the dehydration tank. Therefore, in the past, it has often been used in fully automatic washing machines that can perform washing and dehydration in the same tub.

Therefore, in a two-tank washing machine, a long cylindrical net that can be inserted into the dehydration tank is formed as a model that washes and dehydrates the blanket, and the blanket is rolled up and stored in this net, and then washed as it is. The idea was to make it possible to pull it up and insert it directly into the dehydration tank. However, with this method, the blanket (net) flows like a snake during washing, so when it is turned over, some parts of the blanket come into strong contact with the pulsator, and the blanket may also violently collide with the wall of the washing tank. Ta.
Therefore, parts of the blanket are often damaged or rattled, and the washing effect is often uneven.

In this invention, a blanket is placed inside a long cylindrical net, and this blanket (net) is made to flow relatively smoothly during washing.A connecting device is provided in the net, and both ends of the net can be removed by this connecting device. The blankets are connected so that they can be connected to form a substantially annular shape, and the overall outer shape of the blanket (net) is circular so that it can be rotated smoothly in accordance with the rotating water flow. As a result, damage and wobbling of the blanket can be suppressed, and the washing effect can be improved.

The present invention will be explained below based on drawings showing embodiments. 1 is a two-tub washing machine in which a washing tub 2 and a dehydrating tub 3 are arranged side by side, and a control box 4 is arranged at the rear. A pulsator (not shown) that is driven in reverse by a motor is installed at the inner bottom, and at the top of one side wall of the washing tub 2, the washing water that is forcibly sucked up is discharged to the upper center of the tub and circulated. A water spouting section 5 is provided to allow the water to flow.

6 is a laundry net in which a long tube 7 with a smaller diameter than the inner diameter of the dehydration tank 3 is formed of a net-like member, and both openings of the long tube 7 are closed with end plates 8, 8 made of the same net-like member or plate-like member. In addition to providing fasteners 9 in the longitudinal direction, hooks A10..., hooks B11..., which can be easily engaged and detached from the end plates 8, 8 as connectors are provided.
has been established.

Thus, the blanket W rolled up with the fastener 9 opened
is inserted into the net 6, the fastener 9 is closed, the hooks A10... and the hooks B11... are engaged, and both ends of the net 6 are connected (see FIG. 4) to form an annular shape as a whole. A ring-shaped blanket W (net 6) is placed in a water-supplied washing tub 2 and rotated by a water flow from a pulsator. Further, washing water is discharged from the water spouting part 5 to the central opening of the blanket W (net 6). As a result, the blanket W (net 6) with a circular outer shape is placed in the washing tub 2.
It rotates smoothly inside the bag and is washed by the water flow.
In addition, the washing water discharged to the center permeates the surrounding area and washes the central part of the blanket W which is not easily affected by the water flow.

Hook A10..., hook B11... as necessary.
Remove the blanket W so that the inside and outside are reversed.
(Net 6) is bent, hooks A10..., hooks B11... are engaged again to form a ring shape, and the product is washed again. That is, in this way, the inside and outside of the blanket W can be washed more uniformly.

String 1 instead of hook A10..., hook B11...
2 may be used as a connector. In this case, the strings 12 are individually fixed to both ends of the net 6. Alternatively, the string 12 is fixed only to one end, and a pair of holes 13 are provided in the end plate 8 at the other end, through which the string 12 is passed (see FIG. 5).

In order to prevent these blankets W (nets 6) from flying out during dehydration, a flexible presser lid 14 may be fixed in advance to one end of the nets 6. In this case, remove hook B11... and replace it with presser cover 1.
An engaging flap 15 is formed as a connecting member on the periphery of the 4, and a hook A10 is attached to the engaging flap 15.
(See Figure 6).

Even in the case of the type in which the presser cover 14 is fixed, the strings 12 are individually fixed to both ends, and the strings 12 are connected to each other through the notch 16 cut out at the periphery of the presser cover 14 (see FIG. 7).

Note that the hook A10, the hook B11, the string 12, and the engagement flap 15 may be combined as appropriate in ways other than those described above to form a connector.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 8, if guide pieces 18 for passing the string 17 are provided in several stages around the outer circumference of the long cylindrical net 6, one end of the net 6 can be recessed toward the other end. can be formed into a bottomed cylinder of an appropriate length. (See Figure 9). Therefore, put delicate clothing or small items in this shortened net 6, and tie the opening with a string 17.
If you close it by squeezing it and let it circulate in the washing tub 2, you can wash it softly. In this case, the hook or other connecting device may be removed.

As described above, the laundry net according to the present invention is a long cylindrical net that can be inserted into a dehydration tank, and a connecting device is provided to connect both ends of the net, so that the blanket (net) can be washed in a substantially circular shape. The rotation during washing becomes smoother, thereby suppressing partial damage and rattling of the blanket, and also making it possible to achieve a uniform washing effect.
