Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] This is an iron-type vacuum cleaner designed to smooth out wrinkles in futon and bed sheets and remove dirt from tatami mats. It is a revolutionary iron vacuum cleaner that is equipped with a small, powerful motor and propeller on the iron body, and is the first in the world to be equipped with a photoelectric sensor (to prevent it from falling) that can sterilize and disinfect by spraying hot steam mist. [Background technology]
[0002] The inn and hotel industry is struggling with a labor shortage. With the start of inbound tourism, prices have risen and linen has become more expensive. With the decline in revenue for inns and hotels, washing sheets every time to make a profit is putting a strain on expenses. Therefore, by using this Hover Wrinkle Iron to remove wrinkles from the sheets of guests staying multiple nights, and by sterilizing and deodorizing the tatami mats, expenses can be reduced. DISCLOSURE OF THEINVENTION [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0003] This hover iron vacuum cleaner has a small but powerful motor built into the main body and is fitted with a propeller to compress the air. An outer wall (skirt) surrounds the bottom of the unit to prevent air from escaping to the outside, allowing the iron to float and become lighter. The hot steam is trapped inside, sterilizing and deodorizing, removing wrinkles, cleaning, drying and finally adding fragrance, contributing to increased profits for inns and hotels. [Means for solving the problem]
[0004] The Hover Iron Vacuum Cleaner is the first in the world to feature photoelectron sensor technology that Japan can be proud of, and is a product that can contribute to the service industry and Japan's hospitality culture for the first time. What makes it particularly outstanding is that it is light, easy to use, and hygienic, and it kills two birds with one stone as it can not only iron but also wipe down tatami mats. Effect of the Invention
[0005] The Hover Iron, which has never been seen before, looks big, but the compressed air lifts the iron, so it is easy to use and fully automatic. As mentioned before, it is economical because you can sterilize, disinfect, deodorize, remove wrinkles, smooth out wrinkles, dry, and wipe clean. BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THEINVENTION
[0006] The Hover Iron is a world first, a Japanese technology that is unparalleled in the world, and it will amaze the world. The Hover Iron and the Vacuum Cleaner will help ease the labor shortage in the hospitality culture of inns, hotels and all service industries. EXAMPLES
[0007] As I have said every time, it is still in the prototype stage, but the results were as expected. By adding the ability to wipe it clean, it has become even more convenient. [Industrial Applicability]
[0008] The fully automatic Hover Iron vacuum cleaner is an iron that will make a great contribution to the industrial world by helping people to cut costs as much as possible and survive the dizzying changes in the current situation, such as inbound tourism, labor shortages, and high prices, by making efforts to do so themselves.
