Sock drying and holding kit

Abstract

This product provides a sock drying and holding set that prevents socks from getting separated during the process of taking them off, washing, drying, and putting them on, and also aims to dry them efficiently. [Solution] A sock holder, which has an elliptical body 9, 10 made of elastic material, is inserted into the sock, and the sock is washed and dried in a mesh laundry net 1 which has multiple pockets for storing the holder. An opening 11 provided in the center of the holder enhances drying efficiency.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a drying and holding tool set for socks that consistently manages the process from washing to drying and storage of socks, thereby enhancing drying efficiency.

Background Art

[0002] In conventional sock washing, after washing, it is common to distinguish a pair of socks from a number of clothes and hang and dry them one by one using a laundry clip or the like. In some cases, a washing net may be used to prevent loss, but in the drying process, the socks are taken out of the net and the pair is re-aligned for drying. No particular prior art documents were found regarding this technology.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0003] Searching for and aligning a specific pair from a large number of laundry items is extremely cumbersome and places a significant time and psychological burden on housework. The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the trouble of aligning pairs by consistently managing the process from washing to drying and storage.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0004] The present invention is composed of a main body net having a plurality of mesh pockets for storing elastomer-made holders (hereinafter collectively referred to as "character anchors") that are inserted into the socks to maintain their shape.

[0005] Particularly, the holder is elliptical in shape with a continuous convex portion (fluffy) on the outer periphery, and a large-scale punched hole is provided in the center, and the main feature is to form an air tunnel inside the sock.

Effects of the Invention

[0006] According to this invention, by inserting a holder inside each sock and placing them in a mesh pocket, and then washing and drying them, the actions of searching for socks in the laundry, pairing them, drying each pair individually, and taking them in can be easily shortened.

[0007] By inserting the retainer inside the sock, the sock is spread out from the inside, improving breathability and eliminating the need to remove it from a pocket while ensuring sufficient ventilation and drying. In addition, the rounded shape of the elastomer has the advantage of holding the sock in place while minimizing stress on the sock. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0008] [Figure 1] This is a front view showing the overall configuration of the present invention. [Figure 2] This is a detailed diagram showing the shape of the retaining device (carrying anchor). [Figure 3] This is a front view showing the unit positioned in an appropriate location, such as a washing machine, using a suspension mechanism or similar support. [Figure 4] This is a front view showing the folded form for washing. [Figure 5] This is a diagram illustrating the usage of a trouser hanger. [Figure 6] This is a diagram illustrating the usage of a typical hanger. [Figure 7] This is a diagram illustrating the usage of a clothes drying pole. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0009] As shown in Figure 2, the holders (9, 10) are elliptical in shape with a long side of approximately 120 mm and a short side of approximately 90 mm, and the outer circumference has alternating wavy sections (12) and stress-distributing recesses (13) that distribute stress. This pushes the inside of the item to be washed (30) outwards from the inside, while the ventilation holes (11) provided in the center ensure an efficient air passage and promote drying. The dimensions of the holders (9, 10) can be appropriately changed to match the size of the item to be washed (30), and can be made into a small size to accommodate children's socks, for example. Furthermore, the holders (9, 10) have shapes that provide visual enjoyment by using creatures such as sharks and fish as motifs, and also function as a motivation to encourage children to participate in the laundry work voluntarily.

[0010] As shown in Figure 2, the upper ends of the retainers (9, 10) are provided with connecting holes (14), through which the second connecting cord (8) is passed in a loop, enabling simple fastening and easy attachment / detachment. [Examples]

[0011] The method of using the sock drying and holding device set according to this invention will be specifically explained with reference to the drawings. First, when using the device, prepare the main net (1) shown in Figure 1 and place it in a suitable location such as a washing machine as shown in Figure 3, using the hanging part (2), etc.

[0012] Next, insert the character anchors (9, 10) shown in Figure 2 into the inside of the item to be washed (30) (socks) while it is removed. At this time, the shape of the character anchors (9, 10) will moderately expand the inside of the item to be washed (30). After that, store the item to be washed (30) with the character anchors inserted into each mesh pocket of the main net (1).

[0013] During the washing process, as shown in Fig. 4, the entrance of each pocket is blocked by the anti-drop folding part (4) and fixed using the first locking tool (5). Further, the main body net (1) is folded into a predetermined form (for example, half) and fastened with the second locking tool (6) to prevent the object to be washed (30) from dropping or getting entangled in the washing machine.

[0014] After the washing is completed, the main body net (1) is taken out of the washing machine and the drying process is carried out. For indoor drying, as shown in Fig. 5, a hanging tool such as a slack hanger is passed through a connecting hole such as a grommet provided in the hanging part (2) and hung. For outdoor drying, as shown in Fig. 6, a general hanger is used and the hanging part (2) is fixed by clamping it with a washing clip or the like. Also, for outdoor drying in summer or the like, as shown in Fig. 7, the attachment part (3) is directly hung on a drying pole and fixed using the second locking tool (6) to maintain a stable drying state.

[0015] In any drying method, when the object to be washed (30) is wrinkled, by gently stretching it from above the mesh pocket, the shape retention effect and drying efficiency can be further enhanced.

Industrial Applicability

[0016] The present invention can be widely used as a convenient household washing item and also as a novelty in clothing sales.
