Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a laundry tool in which a fastener such as a laundry clip or a laundry scissors is attached to a net-like member, the laundry is fixed, put into a laundry net as it is, and hung together for drying after washing.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2009-022801 (Patent Document 1) and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2010-069190 (Patent Document 2) disclose a laundry net that can be used for both washing and drying, with a fastener and a member for fixing it so that it can be hung on a hanger when drying. In addition, Utility Model Registration No. 3218735 (Patent Document 3) discloses a laundry tool in which a cut is made in a plate-like body such as soft rubber, the laundry is fixed, and it can be hung for drying. Further, Utility Model Registration No. 3085670 (Patent Document 4) discloses a persimmon drying tape having a structure in which a plurality of slits and through-holes are formed in a synthetic resin tape and a persimmon shaft is fixed.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] For this reason, there were the following problems. (i) The laundry nets disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 had a complex appearance because they were fitted with fasteners and components for fixing them to hangers when drying. (b) The laundry nets disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 have fasteners attached to them to secure the laundry, and a component for securing them to a hanger is also attached, which makes it troublesome and inconvenient to turn them inside out and wrap the laundry inside out. (h) When laundry containing water is inserted into the slit of a plate-shaped body made of soft rubber or the like disclosed in Patent Document 3, the plate-shaped body made of soft rubber or the like may bend or break due to the weight of the water. (ii) If the plate-shaped body made of soft rubber or the like, as disclosed in Patent Document 3, is made thicker and harder so that it does not bend, it will obstruct the water flow of the washing machine, causing noise and malfunction. (e) The synthetic resin tape disclosed in Patent Document 4 was invented for drying persimmons, and therefore, in order to hold the stems of the persimmons, the synthetic resin tape needs to have a certain thickness and hardness, so putting it in a washing machine will lead to noise and malfunction. (h) The synthetic resin tape disclosed in Patent Document 4 has a through-hole in the center where multiple slits intersect, and the method of fixing the persimmon stem to this through-hole makes it difficult to sandwich thin laundry between the through-hole and multiple slits, and there is a possibility that it will come off during washing. (t) The synthetic resin tape with the above-described structure disclosed in Patent Document 4 is composed of multiple slits and perforations that have a certain thickness and hardness, so if laundry is placed between the hard slits and washed with a strong water flow, the laundry may be damaged and torn. This invention was made to solve these problems. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] To solve the above problems, the laundry drying hanger of the present invention is separate from the laundry net.

[0006] The laundry drying hanger of the present invention secures laundry by attaching fasteners to a mesh-like member, and then places the laundry directly into a laundry net.

[0007] Furthermore, the clothes drying hanger of the present invention may have a mesh-like material, a synthetic resin material, or a natural material such as cotton or linen that dries easily in the part to which the fastener is attached.

[0008] In the present invention, the shape of the mesh member to which the fastener is attached may be rectangular or in the shape of a long, narrow string.

[0009] Furthermore, the clothes drying hanger of the present invention has a removable fastener for securing the laundry, and the material and shape are not limited as long as they can secure the laundry. The laundry equipment is characterized by the features described above. [Effects of the Invention]

[0010] It's simple because you just attach fasteners to the mesh-like material to secure the laundry, and then put it directly into the laundry net.

[0011] By shaping the mesh-like material into rectangles or long, narrow strings, it becomes thin, lightweight, and flexible, so it does not obstruct the water flow in the washing machine and can be hung on clotheslines or hangers for drying. [Brief explanation of the drawing]
