Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention replaces materials such as stockings and underwear made of thin synthetic fibers or silk that are likely to be damaged when they come in contact with the rotating blades with materials such as cotton that are durable and can be easily damaged even when they come in contact with the rotating blades. This allows the laundry to be washed in a washing tub with rotary blades together with other items that are less susceptible to damage.

This will be explained below based on the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a washing tank which also serves as a dehydration tank, and has a large number of small dehydration holes 2 on its peripheral wall, a rotating blade 3 at its bottom, and a balance ring with a liquid 4 sealed inside its mouth. 5 is installed.

6 is an outer tub in which the washing tub 1 is housed, and a rotary blade 3 is installed at the bottom of the outer tub.
A drive motor 7 and a bearing case 8 for rotating the washing tub 1 are attached, and the outer tub 6 is suspended from the upper part of the machine frame (not shown) by a plurality of hanging rods 9 having a vibration damping mechanism.

A rail groove 10 along the edge of the washing tub 1 is formed on the lower surface of the balance ring 5, and the lower end of this groove 10 is covered with a rail plate 12 having a slit 11 in the center along the edge of the washing tub. The rail 1 is formed by the rail plate 12 and the rail groove 10.
3 are made up.

The upper disc 15 of the slider 14 as shown in FIG. 2 is inserted into the rail groove 10 through the slit 11, and this disc 1
5 is placed on the rail plate 12.

The upper disk 15 is rotatably attached to a cylindrical slider shaft 16 so that the slider 14 moves along the rail 13.

A lower disk 17 is fixed to the lower end of the slider shaft 16,
A U-shaped hook 18 is attached to the lower surface of this disc 17.

Reference numeral 19 denotes a bag for storing small items such as stockings, which is made of a flexible net such as nylon, and a hook 21 of a bag holder 20 to which the bag 19 is attached is hooked onto the hook 18 of the slider 14. .

Specifically, a frame 22 is attached to the upper inner side of the bag 19, and the frame 22 is inserted into the cylindrical portion 23 of the bag holder 20.

A male thread 24 is threaded on the outer periphery of the cylindrical portion 23, and a plurality of elastic claws 25 are provided at the lower end thereof.

When the nut 26 is screwed onto the male screw 24, the elastic claws 25 are pushed inward by the inclined surface 27 at the lower end of the nut 26, and as a result, the frame 22 is strongly clamped by the claws 25, and the bag 19 is attached to the holder 20.

The hook 21 of the holder 20 passes through a small hole 28 on the upper surface of the holder and is only prevented from being removed by a flange portion 29 so that it can rotate freely relative to the holder body.

The bag 19 detachably attached to the slider 14 via the bag holder 20 can be moved along the rail 13.

The bag 19 has a zipper 3 for putting in and taking out small items.
0 is set.

The size of the overhang 19 is determined so that when it is attached to the slider 14, it does not touch the rotary blade 3 and leaves a space for the laundry B to enter inside the washing tub outside the bag.

Next, the operation will be explained.

Put items A that are easily damaged, such as stockings and underwear, into the bag 19, and put items B made of other durable fabrics into the washing tub 1, and when the rotary blade 3 rotates, items B made of durable fabrics will be removed.
are washed by the swirling water flow generated by the rotor 3 and friction with the rotor as in the past, but the item A placed in the bag 19 is washed only by the swirl water flow without touching the rotor 3. , there will be no damage to the fabric.

Since the bag 19 can move along the rail 13, when the bag 19 tries to get caught in the laundry B outside the bag, this bag also moves along with the laundry B as shown by the dotted line in Figure 1. Therefore, the laundry A inside the bag is unlikely to lose its shape, and the laundry B outside the bag will not be obstructed by the presence of the bag 19. , can maintain good cleaning power.

Loading and unloading items into the bag 19 may be done by opening and closing the zipper 30 while the bag 19 is attached to the slider 14, but this work can be done by removing the hook 21 of the bag holder 20 from the hook 18 of the slider 14. easy.

In the above embodiments, the washing tub also serves as a dehydration tub, but it goes without saying that the present invention can also be applied to a simple washing tub.

As described above, according to the present invention, a flexible mesh bag that does not touch the rotary blades is installed inside the washing tub, and items such as stockings that are likely to be damaged are placed inside the bag, and items that are easily damaged, such as stockings, are placed inside the washing tub outside the bag. By putting items made of durable fabric into the container, items that are easily damaged can be washed together with items made of durable fabric without causing damage to the fabric.

Since the bag can be moved on a rail that runs along the rim of the washing tub, the bag will not get caught up in the laundry outside the bag, causing the laundry inside the bag to lose its shape, or the fabric of the laundry outside the bag will be distorted. This has various effects, such as preventing the cleaning power from decreasing due to deterioration.
