2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when collecting towels rented out for hand towels and reprocessing them, as shown in FIG. 2, used towels collected by a collection vehicle such as a truck are first treated with a plastic film. After separating and sorting from such packaging materials and other large dust, towels are washed and then sterilized and washed. The towel that has been sterilized and washed is placed on the packaging line, shaped into a roll-shaped wound body, and then packaged again with a plastic film for reuse. It is possible to visually check whether or not fine dust such as hair that has been bitten or eyebrows remains. That is, the used towels may have hair and other debris attached to them, which cannot be completely removed by washing. Carefully inspect the presence of dust with a magnifying glass, and if it does, remove it by picking it with tweezers.

[0003]

However, such a conventional dust removing method is not only poor in work efficiency but also difficult to remove because the surface of human beings is inspected for the presence of dust by human eyes and is removed manually. Although it is difficult to check the inside of the towel tissue and completely remove it, it is possible that dust such as hair you overlooked may remain.
Reduced the product value as a hand towel.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and provides a dust removing device for towels for towels, which can completely and hygienically remove dust remaining on the towel. The purpose is to

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The towel dust removing device of the present invention is directed upward and / or downward so that the tip of the ciliary body is in contact with at least one side of a towel that has been washed and sterilized and conveyed. The towel is shaped into a predetermined roll shape, including a brush body arranged and a pressure-sensitive adhesive roller which is arranged behind the brush body and has an adhesive layer on the surface and is rotatably supported around an axis. It is characterized in that it is installed before the shaping mechanism.

[0006]

In the dust removing device of the present invention, the tip of the brush body (the ciliary body of the ciliary body) is arranged on at least one surface of the towel which is conveyed horizontally in the unfolded state, in the upward or downward direction or in both the upward and downward directions. The tip) is firmly abutted. And by scraping with such a ciliary body, even dust such as hair that has sunk inside the towel,
It is rubbed and floated on the surface and becomes easy to separate. Next, such a towel passes through the rotating surface of a rotatable roller having an adhesive layer on its surface, so that the dust attached to the surface floats and adheres to the adhesive layer on the roller surface. In this way, the dust left on the towel for towels
It is completely removed and does not reattach.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing an embodiment of a dust removing device for towels according to the present invention.

The dust removing device of the present invention spreads the wet towel 1 which has been washed and sterilized by a device (not shown) so that the tip end of the cilia is brought into contact with the horizontal conveying surface 2 of the towel. A brush body 3 having a high rigidity is arranged upward on the lower side of the conveying surface 2, and an adhesive layer is provided on the surface immediately behind the brush body 3 and is rotatably supported around an axis. The cartridge type adhesive roller 4 is installed in front of a shaping device 5 for automatically shaping the towel 1 into a predetermined roll shape. The roll shaping device 5 is configured by vertically arranging a fixed belt 6 and a belt conveyor 7 that continuously conveys in the horizontal direction with the conveyance surface 2 interposed therebetween.

The operation of the apparatus of this embodiment will be described below.

That is, the towel 1 which has been washed and sterilized and washed and which is in a wet state is operated by a worker by a work table (not shown).
The brushes 3 are spread on the top, and they are passed one by one on the brush body 3 and then on the adhesive roller 4. Then, due to friction with the ciliary body that is planted upward in the brush body 3, dust such as hair attached to the lower surface and the inside of the towel 1 is rubbed and floated on the surface. Then, by immediately passing through the rotatable roller surface of the adhesive roller 4, all the dust rubbed up on the surface of the towel 1 is transferred and adhered to the adhesive layer on the roller surface, and is completely removed.

The towel 1 for towels, from which the dust adhering to the surface is completely removed, is then rolled into a roll shaping device 5.
The belt is placed on the belt conveyor 7 and continuously transferred in the horizontal direction, and is gradually wound into a roll due to contact friction with the belt surface of the fixed belt 6, and finally, as shown below, It is wrapped in a synthetic resin film by the packaging device 8. That is, the packaging device 8 includes a supply drum 10 for two synthetic resin films 9 for packaging such as a stretched polyethylene film, and two delivery end portions of the synthetic resin films 9 respectively fed from the supply drums 10. Is heated and welded and cut to form a bag-like heater cutter 11. Then, the towel winding body 12 shaped into a roll falls from the end portion of the belt conveyor 7 onto the bag-shaped synthetic resin film 9 whose end portion is heat-welded, and immediately by the heater cutter 11. The other mouth of the packaging bag is welded and melted, so that the hand towel package can be continuously obtained.

As described above, according to the apparatus of the embodiment, all the hair and other debris adhering to the towel towel 1 is transferred to the adhesive layer on the surface of the adhering roller 4 before the shaping and packaging steps, and is completely adhered. To be removed.

In the above embodiment, the transport surface 2
The brush body 3 is arranged upward on the lower side, and the adhesive roller 4 is arranged behind the brush body 3 so as to form the transport surface 2 by the rotatable roller surface. Although the pressure-sensitive adhesive layers 4 are in contact with the lower surface (back surface) of the towel 1, respectively, the present invention is not limited to such a configuration, and the brush body 3 and the pressure-sensitive adhesive roller 4 are arranged downward on the conveying surface 2. Alternatively, a pair of brush bodies 3 and a pair of adhesive rollers 4 may be disposed on the upper and lower sides of the conveying surface 2 so as to face each other, and the dust may be rubbed off from the upper and lower sides of the towel 1 and then adhered and removed. It may be configured to do so.

Further, the worker does not manually pass the towels 1 one by one through the dust removing device composed of the brush body 3 and the adhesive roller 4 as described above, but sends them horizontally such as a belt conveyor or a roller conveyor. And the transport mechanism,
It can also be configured to pass automatically.

[0016]

As described above, according to the device of the present invention, dust such as hairs remaining on the surface and inside of the towel can be removed hygienically and completely. It is possible to improve the work efficiency of the entire reprocessing step.
