Handkerchief drying cover

Abstract

Conventional handkerchief drying covers are not only difficult to implement but also costly, as they require special desiccants or employ complex structures that utilize multiple elements such as heating dryers or handkerchief presence detection sensors. [Solution] The handkerchief storage section has a handkerchief insertion opening on the side and is capable of storing a handkerchief, and the desiccant insertion section is located on the upper or lower surface of the handkerchief storage section and has a desiccant insertion opening into which a desiccant can be inserted. The desiccant absorbs moisture from the handkerchief stored in the handkerchief storage section through the fabric on the upper or lower surface of the handkerchief storage section, making it possible to provide an inexpensive and simple handkerchief drying cover without having to prepare a special desiccant.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a handkerchief cover for drying a handkerchief while carrying it.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, a handkerchief carried is used to wipe off moisture adhering to the hand after handwashing. However, since the handkerchief becomes moist due to the wiped-off moisture, it does not dry in the pocket, and when needed next time, it still contains moisture, or the moisture migrates to the fabric of the pocket. There are various handkerchief covers to address such situations.

[0003] For example, the invention of Patent Document 1 is a handkerchief drying cover of a type that attaches a desiccant to the cover, and the invention of Patent Document 2 is a cover that arranges a heat-generating drying device, a handkerchief presence / absence determination sensor, a humidity sensor, a temperature sensor, etc. on the cover to dry the handkerchief.
