Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention relates to an apparatus for producing steamed towels, and more particularly to an apparatus for producing steamed towels using steam generated by a chemical reaction between quicklime and water.

[Conventional technology]

Conventional steamed towels are manufactured by placing a dry rolled towel exposed in an electric steamer, or by placing a damp towel in a waterproof bag and placing it in an electric warmer.

[Problem to be solved]

Traditionally, the production of steamed towels requires the use of an electric steamer or electric warmer that uses household AC power. Moreover, for this reason, it was not possible to manufacture steamed towels outdoors.

[Means to solve the problem]

The steam towel manufacturing device of this invention is a cylindrical container with an appropriate number of holes formed on the side, and inside is a water-permeable bag containing quicklime and a waterproof bag containing water. a housing body that houses a bag body having
It consists of a towel wrapped around the side surface of the container and a waterproof outer bag that houses the towel.

[Effect]

When a waterproof bag containing water is broken and the water flows out, the water permeates into the water-permeable bag containing quicklime, and the quicklime and water begin a chemical reaction. This reaction generates water vapor, which is discharged from the container through the holes and sprayed onto a towel wrapped around the side of the container. The water vapor passes through the towel and still flows out, but it stays inside the waterproof outer bag, and this time it steams the towel from the outside.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of this invention will be described based on the drawings.

The container 1 is a cylindrical container made of metal, ceramics, or heat-resistant synthetic resin. Inside the container 1, a bag 2 containing quicklime and a bag 3 containing water are housed. The bag body 2 containing quicklime is made of a water-permeable material, such as Japanese paper. The bag body 3 containing water is made of a waterproof material, such as polyethylene. A tape 3a for tearing the bag is attached to the side of the bag 3 containing water.
is attached by welding or other methods. The bag body 2 containing quicklime and the bag body 3 containing water are made of high-density fibers that do not allow water droplets to pass through, such as the product name "Gore-Tex" (Renown Co., Ltd.) or the product name "Nomex" (Toray Co., Ltd.). It is housed in a storage bag 4 manufactured in this way.

On the circumferential surface of the container 1, a large number of discharge holes 1a are provided almost evenly over the entire surface for discharging water vapor generated by the combination of quicklime and water within the container 1. . This is to evenly steam the towel 5, which will be described later.

A towel 5 made of cloth or paper is wrapped around the circumferential surface of the container 1. The towel 5 wrapped around the circumferential surface of the container 1 is contained in a substantially hermetically sealed state by an outer bag 6 made of a waterproof material.

The tip of the tape 3a described above is provided in the insertion hole 4a provided on one side of the storage bag 4, the through hole 1b provided on one side of the storage body 1, and the sealing portion on one side of the outer bag body 6. It is extended to the outside through the spacer hole 6a.

When the tape 3a is pulled and the water-filled bag 3 is torn, the water that flows out soaks into the bag 2 containing quicklime, and a chemical reaction between the quicklime and water begins. . Water vapor is generated by this reaction, and this water vapor is discharged from the container 1 through the discharge hole 1a and is blown onto the towel 5 wrapped around the circumferential surface of the container 1. As a result, the towel 5 is steamed, but the water vapor that has passed through the towel 5 stays in the outer bag body 6, and this time the towel 5 is steamed from the outside.

In this embodiment, the tape 3a was used as a means to tear the bag 3 filled with water, but a needle-like member from the outside of the outer bag 6 was used to tear the bag 3 filled with water through the through hole 1b. You can break this by stabbing 3.

According to this embodiment, pulling the tape 3a;
Alternatively, a steamed towel can be produced by simply puncturing it with a needle-like member or tearing the bag 3 filled with water.

〔effect〕

According to this invention, steamed towels can be produced easily and quickly by simply tearing open a bag filled with water. Additionally, there is no longer a need for a steamer or heater powered by household AC power, which was required in the past, making it possible to easily produce steamed towels outdoors.
