Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] To provide a washing member for preventing a situation in which the end of a drawstring becomes stuck in a drawstring hole during washing, making it impossible to pull out the drawstring from the drawstring hole. [Background technology]
[0002] A drawstring is a cord that is wrapped around an opening in a garment, such as the waist or hem, and pulled to tighten the opening. It is usually passed through a tunnel-shaped "drawstring hole" through which the drawstring is passed, and the size of the opening can be adjusted by pulling or loosening it.
[0003] When clothes with drawstrings (such as drawstring pants) are washed, the drawstring (usually one end) may become completely stuck in the drawstring guide and become impossible to pull out. In this case, the only way to remove the drawstring is to pull the other end of the drawstring to completely pull it out, and then use the drawstring guide to reinsert it into the drawstring guide.
[0004] One way to prevent the drawstrings from becoming stuck when washing is to tie them together, but tying them is troublesome, and untying them after washing is also troublesome. In addition, if the drawstrings are tied loosely or even with normal strength, they may come undone during washing, and it is not possible to completely prevent the drawstrings from getting completely stuck inside the drawstring guides.
[0005] To avoid (prevent) this, Patent Document 1 describes a retaining member for a drawcord (drawstring), which is characterized by having two holes with an opening width approximately equal to the thickness of the string-like body, arranged parallel to each other, as shown in Figure 4, and states that if each end of the string-like body passed through the holes is tied in a ball knot (tight knot), it can be more reliably prevented from slipping out.
[0006] However, the retaining member in Patent Document 1 is designed to be attached to clothing (the strings) at all times, which makes it less fashionable and makes it difficult to pull or loosen the string and re-tie it to adjust the size of the opening in the clothing. Furthermore, even if one tries to insert a drawcord (drawstring) into the holding member of Patent Document 1 only when washing (just before washing), it cannot be inserted immediately.
[0007] Patent Document 2 describes a structure for locking a drawcord (drawstring), which is said to prevent the loop from getting caught on something and causing injury when the left and right drawcords come together to form a loop.
[0008] Patent document 3 also describes a string fastener with hook-and-loop fastener that can be inserted into the tightening strings of a hooded down jacket or the like to prevent it from dangling even in strong winds.
[0009] However, both the structure of Patent Document 2 and the string fastener of Patent Document 3 are permanently attached to clothing, and furthermore, are attached to the left and right strings or the loops of the drawcord, which makes them less fashionable and the structure too complicated, and also makes it difficult to pull, loosen, or tie the string to adjust the size of the opening of the clothing. Furthermore, it is extremely troublesome to use the structure of Patent Document 2 and to install the string fastener of Patent Document 3 only when washing (just before washing), and at the very least, it is almost impossible and unrealistic to use it only when washing.
[0010] Although the number of types of clothing using drawstrings has increased in recent years, conventional technology has not provided a component that can easily secure the drawstring with one touch during washing and that prevents the drawstring from being completely pulled into the drawstring hole. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0011] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 11-046817 [Patent Document 2] Registered Utility Model No. 3084678 [Patent Document 3] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-189219 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0012] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned background art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a laundry component that prevents a drawstring from getting stuck in a drawstring guide during laundry and becoming unable to be pulled out, and a method of using the laundry component. [Means for solving the problem]
[0013] The present inventors have conducted extensive research to resolve the problems in the background art and solve the above-mentioned problems, and as a result have found that, when a washing component of a specific shape is used for clothing with drawstrings, the washing component can be attached to the clothing at all times without getting in the way, can be set very easily when washing, and can prevent either end of the drawstring from getting caught in the drawstring guide, which has led to the completion of the present invention.
[0014] That is, the present invention provides a laundry component for preventing a situation in which, when washing a garment, the drawstring becomes unable to be pulled out of a drawstring hole provided around an opening of the garment due to the end of the drawstring getting stuck in the drawstring hole, The laundry component is a plate-like member having a thickness of 1 mm to 7 mm, and is characterized in that the laundry component has a simple hole and a "slit hole with a slit" through which the drawstring can pass.
[0015] In addition, the present invention provides a washing member that can be attached to the garment at all times by having one side of the drawstring always pass through the simple hole, The slit hole provides the washing member with a structure that allows the other side of the drawstring to be passed through the slit just before washing.
[0016] The present invention also provides the washing member, wherein the washing member is approximately rectangular or approximately elliptical, the longer side of the rectangle or the longer diameter of the ellipse being 20 mm or more and 50 mm or less, and the shorter side of the rectangle or the shorter diameter of the ellipse being 7 mm or more and 20 mm or less.
[0017] The present invention also provides the above-mentioned laundry member, wherein the simple hole and the slit hole are arranged side by side along the long side of the rectangle or the long axis of the ellipse, and approximately in the center along the short side of the rectangle or the short axis of the ellipse.
[0018] The present invention also provides the washing member, wherein the material of the washing member is rubber, plastic or felt.
[0019] The present invention also provides a method for using the "laundry member" as follows: The present invention provides a method for using a laundry component, characterized in that "one side of the drawstring is always passed through the simple hole, and the other side of the drawstring is passed through the slit hole of the laundry component that is always attached to the clothing" just before washing, using the slit, thereby preventing both one side of the drawstring and the other side of the drawstring from getting into the drawstring hole all the way to the end, making it impossible to pull the drawstring out of the drawstring hole. [Effects of the Invention]
[0020] By using the "thin plate-shaped laundry component with two through holes" of the present invention, the above problems and issues can be solved, and the problem of the drawstring not being able to be pulled out of the drawstring hole after washing can be solved very easily and quickly just before washing.
[0021] Furthermore, even if one side of the drawstring is passed through the simple hole of the laundry member of the present invention and is always attached to the clothing, the laundry member is sufficiently thin and small so that it does not become a concern when the clothing is worn and does not detract from the fashionability. Also, when wearing clothes and tightening the drawstrings together, if the washing member is placed near the entrance / exit of the "drawstring threader" (opposite the end of the drawstring), it will not get in the way when tying the drawstrings together.
[0022] The laundry component of the present invention is used by fully setting it in place during laundry, and is not used to tighten drawstrings like the conventional components described in Patent Documents 1 to 3 (see Figure 4 for the component in Patent Document 1). Therefore, it can be made extremely thin and light.
[0023] Furthermore, if the corners of the washing member of the present invention are chamfered or made of a soft material such as rubber, plastic, or felt, the washing member of the present invention can be attached to a drawstring at all times without being bothersome when wearing the clothes.
[0024] If the "other side (opposite side) of the drawstring" (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "drawstring on the side of the component installed during washing"), which is not the "one side of the drawstring" (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "drawstring on the permanently installed side of the component") to which the washing component of the present invention is always attached, is passed through the other "slit hole with a slit" that is not the simple hole just before washing, neither side of the drawstring will be pulled into the drawstring threader during washing. Once it gets pulled in, you have no choice but to pull out the entire drawstring and re-thread it using the string guide.
[0025] Since the slit hole has a slit, the drawstring on the installation side of the member when washed can be passed through the slit hole by a single touch very easily just before washing. Therefore, even when holding other laundry in one hand, the "washing-side drawstring" can be easily passed through the slit. Also, although it is a delicate task, even elderly people who have become clumsy or people with reduced hand strength due to carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, etc. can easily pass the drawstring through the slit.
[0026] In addition, since the above-mentioned "drawstring on the permanent side of the component" is already passed through the simple hole, if the drawstring on the installation side is passed through the slit hole when the component is washed (if it is passed through), then neither end will be pulled into the drawstring thread when washing.
[0027] Furthermore, if the outlet of the slit of the washing member (the portion where the drawstring is inserted) is chamfered, the drawstring can be passed through the slit hole even more easily by using the slit.
[0028] By making the size (diameter, shape, etc.) of the simple hole small enough to allow the drawstring to pass through tightly, and / or by adjusting the elastic modulus of the washing element (e.g., by making it small enough), the washing element can be prevented from slipping out of the garment (the drawstring). Furthermore, if the simple hole is made into a "cut hole" such as "*", the drawstring can be tightly passed through and the washing member will not slip off the drawstring.
[0029] The washing member of the present invention can be used when washing any garment that has a drawstring around the opening of the garment. Examples of areas where drawstrings are provided include the waist, sleeves, hem, and hood, and the washing component of the present invention can be suitably applied to any of these areas, avoiding the need for troublesome string threading (rethreading the drawstring) after washing.

[0031] The present invention will be described below, but the present invention is not limited to the following specific embodiments and can be modified as desired within the scope of the technical concept.
[0032] The laundry member of the present invention is a laundry member for preventing a situation in which, when washing a garment, the drawstring becomes unable to be pulled out of a drawstring hole provided around an opening of the garment due to the end of the drawstring getting stuck in the drawstring hole, The laundry component is plate-shaped with a thickness of 1 mm to 7 mm, and is characterized by having a simple hole and a "slit hole with a slit" through which the drawstring can pass.
[0033] The drawstring may become completely entrenched in the drawstring guide after washing and become unable to be pulled out, even with conventional components that are permanently attached to the drawstrings at both ends, i.e., permanently attached to the garment, and that allow for length adjustment (tightness adjustment) (for example, the components described in Patent Documents 1 to 3 and the component shown in Figure 4). However, conventional components are bulky and can be a nuisance, especially when used with sportswear, as they can be cumbersome and dangerous as the component or drawstring can get caught on external equipment.
[0034] <Thickness of washing components> According to the washing member 10 of the present invention, the length cannot be adjusted by the washing member 10, but since it is thin and small, it does not get in the way, does not get caught on anything, and is safe. The laundry member 10 of the present invention is in the form of a plate having a thickness of 1 mm to 7 mm, preferably 1 mm to 7 mm, more preferably 1.5 mm to 5 mm, and particularly preferably 2 mm to 4 mm.
[0035] If the drawstring 21 is too thin, it may not be possible to secure the drawstring 21 tightly in the simple hole 11 or the slit hole 12 of the laundry component 10, causing the laundry component 10 to shift or move, and in some cases, to fall off the drawstring 21. If the drawstring 21 falls off during washing, the drawstring 21 may get caught in the drawstring hole 32. Furthermore, the drawstring 21 on the permanently attached side may fall off the simple hole 11, causing the laundry component 10 to fall off while being worn. Moreover, if the washing member 10 is too thick, it may get in the way while wearing the clothes.
[0036] <Shape and size of washing components> The shape of the laundry member 10 of the present invention is not particularly limited, but examples thereof include a substantially rectangular shape, a substantially oval shape, a substantially rectangular shape with large chamfers, and a substantially gourd shape, as shown in FIG. In the above description, the term "approximately elliptical" includes an approximately square shape, and the term "approximately circular shape" includes an approximately perfect circle shape.
[0037] The laundry member 10 of the present invention is preferably approximately rectangular or elliptical, with the longer side 15 of the rectangle or the longer diameter of the ellipse being 20 mm or more and 50 mm or less, and the shorter side 16 of the rectangle or the shorter diameter of the ellipse being 7 mm or more and 20 mm or less, in order to particularly achieve the above-mentioned effects.
[0038] The long side 15 or the major axis is more preferably 25 mm or more and 47 mm or less, and particularly preferably 30 mm or more and 44 mm or less. The short side 16 or the short diameter is more preferably 8 mm or more and 18 mm or less, and particularly preferably 10 mm or more and 15 mm or less.
[0039] If the length is too long, the length may be unnecessary, be a nuisance when wearing the garment, or be difficult to wash. On the other hand, if the length is too short, it may be difficult to handle or to pass the drawstring 21 through the simple hole 11 or the slit hole 12. In particular, it may be difficult to pass the drawstring 21 through the slit hole 12 with one touch before washing.
[0040] <Simple holes and slit holes in laundry components> The washing member 10 of the present invention is provided with simple holes 11 and slit holes 12 that penetrate the plate-shaped washing member 10 (see FIGS. 1 to 3). The present invention is a washing component 10 in which one side of the drawstring (abbreviated as "component-installed-side drawstring 21a") is always passed through the simple hole 11, so that the drawstring can be always attached to the clothing 31, and the slit hole 12 is also such that the other side of the drawstring (abbreviated as "component-installed-side drawstring 21b") can be passed through the slit 13 just before washing.
[0041] The simple holes 11 and the slit holes 12 are preferably arranged side by side along the long side 15 of the rectangle or the long axis of the ellipse of the laundry member 10 of the present invention, and are arranged side by side at approximately the center of the short side 16 of the rectangle or the short axis of the ellipse (see Figures 1 to 3, especially Figure 2). Hereinafter, the simple holes 11 and the slit holes 12 may be collectively referred to as "holes". If the holes are provided off to one side rather than near the center of the laundry member 10, the laundry member 10 may be easily torn from the holes or it may be difficult to thread the drawstring 21 through the holes.
[0042] <<Simple hole>> The simple hole 11 is for allowing the permanent component side drawstring 21a to pass through at all times. The simple hole 11 may have a slit to make it easier to pass the permanent component side drawstring 21a through, but since the washing component 10 is always attached while the garment is being worn, it is preferable that the simple hole 11 does not have such a slit to prevent it from falling out (see Figures 1 to 3).
[0043] <<Slit Hole>> The slit 12 is for passing the drawstring 21b (installed side) through the slit 12 before washing. The slit 13 in the slit 12 allows the drawstring 21b (installed side) to be easily passed through the slit 12 with a single touch before washing (see FIGS. 1 to 3). The slit 13 of the slit 12 extends from the slit 12 to a short side 16 of a rectangle to be described later, or to a side in the minor axis direction of an ellipse to be described later (see FIGS. 1 to 3).
[0044] The gap of the slit 13 is preferably absent, i.e., 0 mm, or, if present, the width of the gap is 1 mm or less, in order to prevent the installation-side drawstring 21b from slipping out of the slit hole 12 when the member is washed. Preferably, the width of the gap of the slit 13 is absent (0 mm). Even if the gap width of the slit 13 is not large, the drawstring 21b on the installation side of the member when washing can be easily passed through the slit hole 12 by using the slit 13 before washing.
[0045] <Hole size> The size of the simple hole 11 and / or the size of the slit hole 12 is preferably small enough that the laundry member 10 does not fall down under its own weight when the drawstring 21 is passed through. If the size of the hole is too large, the drawstring 21a on the permanently attached side of the component may fall out of the simple hole 11 when the garment is worn, and when washing, both or either of the drawstrings 21 may fall out of the hole and get into the "drawstring hole 32." When washing, the drawstring 21b on the washing-attached side of the component may fall out of the slit hole 12.
[0046] The shapes of the simple holes 11 and the slit holes 12 are not particularly limited, and may be circular or elliptical as shown in Figures 1 to 3, triangular as shown in Figures 2(h)(i), or polygonal with four or more sides, or may be cut holes such as "*" or "+" as shown in Figures 2(d)(j).
[0047] <Chamfering of washing parts> When the laundry member 10 of the present invention has a shape with corners, the corners (four corners) are preferably chamfered 14 (see FIGS. 2 and 3 other than FIGS. 1, 2(a) and (b)). If the corners (four corners) are not chamfered 14, they may hurt the body when worn, or the corners may be easily damaged when washed.
[0048] It is preferable that the entrance of the slit 13 of the slit hole 12 is also chamfered 14 (see FIGS. 2 and 3 other than FIGS. 1 and 2(a)). If the opening of the slit 13 is chamfered 14, the drawstring 21b on the installation side of the member during washing can be passed through the slit hole 12 using the slit 13 more easily during washing.
[0049] <Materials of washing components> The material of the washing member 10 of the present invention is not particularly limited, but is preferably rubber, plastic, felt, etc., because it does not hurt the body when it touches it, the drawstring 21 fits tightly into the hole, the washing member 10 does not move while wearing or washing, and it does not come off during washing. Rubber is particularly preferred for the above reasons.
[0050] <Uses of laundry components> The laundry member 10 of the present invention can be used with any garment 31 that uses a drawstring 21 (the drawstring 21 used in the garment 31), but it is preferable that the drawstring 21 is provided in the waist, sleeves, hem, or hood of the garment 31. The present invention also relates to the washing member 10, in which the "drawstring hole 32 provided around the opening 33 of the garment 31" is provided in the waist portion (see FIG. 3(a)), sleeve portion, hem portion, or hood portion of the garment 31.
[0051] <How to use the washing parts> As shown in Fig. 3(a), the laundry member 10 of the present invention is first prepared by passing the drawstring 21a on the permanent side of the member through the simple hole 11. Then, the laundry member is put on in this state. It is preferable to place the washing member 10 close to the entrance side of the drawstring hole 32 (not shown) because this makes it difficult for the washing member 10 to fall out and prevents it from getting in the way when tightening the two drawstrings 21 (ends).
[0052] Next, as shown in FIG. 3(b), the drawstring 21b on the installation side during washing is inserted through the slit 13, thereby passing it through the slit 12. By using the slit 13, the drawstring 21b on the installation side during washing can be easily inserted into the slit 12. In particular, when you are busy right before washing, even people who are clumsy with their fingers or who have disabilities in their hands can insert the drawstring into the slit 12 with a single touch.
[0053] Fig. 3(c) shows the completed state before washing. The washing member 10 may be positioned closer to the opening of the drawstring hole 32 (opposite the end) than in the embodiment shown in Fig. 3(c).
[0054] That is, the present invention provides a method for using the laundry member, "By always passing one side of the drawstring (the drawstring 21a on the permanently attached member side) through the simple hole 11, the other side of the drawstring (the drawstring 21b on the side attached to the member during washing) is passed through the slit 13 just before washing the washing member that is always attached to the garment 31." This is also a method of using a laundry component, characterized in that it is possible to prevent the drawstring 21 from becoming unable to be pulled out of the drawstring hole 32 due to the end of the drawstring 21 being inserted into the drawstring hole 32 on both one side of the drawstring (the drawstring 21a on the permanent installation side of the component) and the other side of the drawstring (the drawstring 21b on the installation side of the component during washing). [Example]
[0055] The present invention will be explained in more detail below by way of examples and comparative examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples as long as it does not depart from the gist of the invention.
[0056] Example 1 Drawstring pants having a "drawstring hole 32 through which a drawstring 21 passes" around the waist as shown in Figure 3(a) (right) were washed. In the drawstring pants, one side of the drawstring (the drawstring 21a on the permanent member side) was passed through the laundry member 10, as shown in FIG. 3(a) (left diagram).
[0057] As shown in FIG. 2(h), the washing member 10 had chamfers 14 at a total of six places (four places at the four corners and two places at the exits of the slits 12). The washing member 10 was approximately rectangular with a thickness of 3 mm, a short side of 14 mm, and a long side of 38 mm, and was black and made of chloroprene rubber (CR).
[0058] The washing member 10 is small and has rubber elasticity, so that the washing member 10 does not feel strange even when it is always attached to the drawstring pants, and also does not hurt when the washing member 10 touches the hands or stomach during exercise, etc. By placing the washing member 10 close to the opening of the drawstring hole 32, the two drawstrings 21 could be tied in front of the waist without the washing member 10 getting in the way.
[0059] Prior to washing, the other side of the drawstring (the drawstring 21b on the side to be installed when the component is washed) was inserted through the slit 13 into the slit hole 12 (see Figure 3(b)), thereby passing it through the slit hole 12 (see Figure 3(c)). Thereafter, the washing member 10 was brought close to the opening of the drawstring hole 32. The above action was easy even though I was holding other laundry items in one hand in addition to the drawstring pants.
[0060] The drawstring pants and other laundry were placed in a washer / dryer at the same time, washed for 45 minutes and dried for 30 minutes, but neither of the two drawstrings 21 (at either end) entered the drawstring holes 32. Furthermore, the washing member 10 did not fall off the drawstring 21, so the garment could be put on as it was.
[0061] Comparative Example 1 When the laundry was washed and dried in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the laundry member 10 of the present invention was not used, one end of the drawstring became completely entangled in the drawstring hole 32. Since the drawstring could no longer be pulled out of the drawstring guide 32, the only option was to pull out the entire drawstring and then use the string guide to reinsert (pass) the drawstring through the drawstring guide 32. Therefore, threading the laces is troublesome and the garment cannot be worn immediately after washing.
[0062] Comparative Example 2 The member shown in Fig. 4 was attached to the drawstring of drawstring pants similar to those in Example 1. Although the member shown in Fig. 4 allows adjustment of the length of the drawstring (how tight the drawstring is), it is large and therefore intrusive, making it difficult to keep attached to the drawstring pants at all times. This is particularly inconvenient when the drawstring pants are used as exercise wear. It is also inconvenient when washing the pants. [Industrial Applicability]
[0063] The laundry member 10 of the present invention can be widely used in the waist, sleeves, hems, hoods, etc. of all types of clothing, and therefore the present invention can be widely used in the fields of clothing component manufacturing, clothing manufacturing, etc. [Explanation of symbols]
