[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
There is no problem as long as the laundry is not so dirty like linen products in hotels and inns, but blood and dirt may adhere to the laundry that comes out of hospitals. In such a case, with conventional laundry transport bags, blood or sewage that oozes from the laundry during transport may wet the lower side of the bag, causing illness to workers who are opening the bag. There is a risk of infection and it is very uncomfortable for the operator.
[0005]
Also, a bag carrying such very dirty laundry needs to be washed as well, but because the bag is shaped like a bag, the inside is not sufficiently washed. There was trouble such as having to do.
[0006]
The present invention has been made in view of the occurrence of such a problem, and it is possible to easily automate the operation of opening the bag at the laundry loading position. Even when the operator opens the bag, the laundry It is an object of the present invention to obtain a laundry transporting bag that is free from blood and sewage adhering to the operator and that can be sufficiently washed to the inside when the bag itself is washed.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The laundry carrying bag according to claim 1 is formed by vertically folding the left and right surfaces 2 and 3 of the rectangular sheet 1 and then fusing or sewing the upper side 4 in a three-ply manner to form a vertically long envelope. And a binding tool 8 for binding an envelope-like sheet from the outside to the lower side and a binding tool 8 for binding the envelope from the outside, and releasing the binding tool in the bag. The laundry is dropped by its own weight .
[0008]
The laundry transport bag according to claim 2 is formed by vertically folding the left and right surfaces 2 and 3 obtained by dividing the rectangular sheet 1 into three, and then fusing or sewing the upper side 4 in three layers to form a vertically long envelope shape. Formed at the center of the upper side sewn or fused, and provided with a lower hand 13 at the center of the lower side 6 of at least one of the outer surfaces of the three stacked sheets , The laundry in the bag is dropped when the hanger 5 is hung with the lower hanger downward .
[0009]
According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the laundry transport bag according to the second aspect, the lower suspender 13 is a hanger longer than the upper suspender 5.
[0010]
[Action]
The laundry transport bag according to claim 1 opens the lower side upside down, puts the laundry therein, binds the opening of the lower side with the binding tool 8, and suspends the suspension 5 from the transport hook 11. . The suspended bag is transported to the laundry input position by the travel of the transport hook 11. When the operator or the machine releases the binding tool 8 at the laundry input position, the laundry in the bag falls by its own weight and is input to the washing machine or the like. After that, the empty bag is released from the transport hook and dropped, so that the bag itself is put into a washing machine or the like and washed.
[0011]
The left and right surfaces 2 and 3 of the inwardly folded sheet 1 are merely abutted, but the upper side 4 is sewn or fused as a vertically long shape, and the lower side is bound, so the meeting occurs during the conveyance. The part is open and the laundry inside does not fall. When the bag itself is washed, the meeting portion is opened by agitation in the washing machine, and the inner surface of the envelope-like sheet is also washed, so there is no need to turn it over when washing the bag. Further, since the tying member 8 is provided on the outside, if a water-impermeable sheet or a waterproof sheet is used, even if blood or filth adheres to the laundry, the sewage does not ooze out. Even if the operator releases the tying tool, the operator is less uncomfortable and disease infection can be avoided.
[0012]
The laundry carrying bag of the inventions according to claims 2 and 3 opens the lower side in an upside-down state, accommodates the laundry in an envelope-shaped sheet, and is provided on the side where the lower suspension 13 is provided. The lower sides are bent toward the upper side with the surfaces 2 and 12 facing outside, and the upper and lower suspenders 5 and 13 are suspended and conveyed by the conveying hooks. As the transport hook, one having two hooks 11 and 14 that are released individually is used, and the upper suspender 5 is suspended on one hook 11 and the lower suspender 13 is suspended on the other hook 14.
[0013]
According to the invention of claim 3 in which the lower suspension 13 is longer than the upper suspension 5, even when the two hooks 11 and 14 are provided at the same height, the bending length of the lower side portion of the bag can be shortened. This can increase the amount of laundry stored.
[0014]
The bag transported to the laundry input position by the transport hook releases the hook 14 on the side where the lower hand 13 is suspended at that position, so that the lower bent portion hangs down and the lower side is opened. The laundry falls and is put into a washing machine or the like. Thereafter, the hook 11 that suspends the upper suspender 5 is released, and the bag itself is put into a washing machine or the like and washed.
[0015]
Since the bag is conveyed in a state where the lower side portion is bent upward, the meeting portion does not open during conveyance, and the laundry in the bag does not fall. That is, when the lower suspension 13 is provided on the lower side of the sheet (see FIG. 6), the lower side portion is bent with the outer side of the sheet aligned outside, so the outer side of the meeting sheet Since the item is pulled up and down by the weight of the laundry, the meeting part does not open. Further, when the lower suspension 13 is provided on the lower side portion of the central surface of the rectangular sheet 1 that is divided into three parts, the lower side portion of the bag is folded with the surface outside, so that the meeting portion is wrapped inside. In this case, the laundry does not fall from the meeting portion.
[0016]
At the laundry loading position, the laundry in the bag can be loaded simply by releasing the hook 14 that suspends the lower suspender 13, so that the loading operation can be easily automated. However, since there is no need to touch the bag, even if blood or sewage adhering to the laundry oozes out on the surface of the bag, there is no possibility of causing discomfort to the worker or infecting the disease. . If a water-impermeable sheet or a waterproof sheet is used as the sheet, even if a large amount of sewage or the like adheres to the laundry, there is no possibility that they will drip even during conveyance. Similarly to the bag of claim 1, when the bag itself is washed, the meeting portion is freely opened and the inside of the bag is also washed, so that it is hygienic.
[0017]
【Example】
1 to 3 show an embodiment according to the first aspect of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the left and right surfaces 2, 3 of the rectangular sheet 1 made of a waterproof fabric are divided into approximately three equal parts and folded in the same direction, and as shown in FIG. A three-layered stack is sewn to form a vertically long envelope bag body in which the meeting portion is not closed. Then, both ends of the strap are sewn at the center of the upper side 4 that is sewn, and a suspender 5 is provided, and a tying cord 8 having a metal fitting 7 at the base end is attached at the position of the upper part of the lower side 6. In the example shown in the figure, the tying string 8 is sewn to the outer side 9 of the sheet that has been laid.
[0018]
The binding string 8 is attached to a place where there is no possibility of being contaminated with blood or sewage adhering to the laundry accommodated in the bag, that is, slightly above the lower side 6 of the bag and to the outer surface side of the sheet forming the bag. As shown in the figure, a structure in which the binding string 8 is attached to the outer side 9 of the sheet with which the binding string 8 is assembled is most preferable in order to prevent the binding string from being contaminated.
[0019]
The laundry carrying bag 10 configured as described above is opened upside down to accommodate the laundry in a state where the laundry bag 10 is turned upside down. Stop the tip of the bracket with the bracket 7. And as shown in FIG. 2, the hanger 5 is suspended and conveyed by the hook 11 of a conveyor. When the bag is conveyed to the laundry loading position, the metal fitting 7 is operated to release the binding string 8, and the laundry inside is dropped and loaded into a washing machine or the like.
[0020]
4 and 5 show an embodiment according to the second aspect of the present invention. Similar to the first embodiment, the bag body is formed by folding the left and right surfaces of the rectangular sheet 1 (see FIG. 3), overlapping them, and sewing the upper side thereof. Similarly to the first embodiment, a hanger 5 is provided at the center of the upper side 4 which is attached. In the second embodiment, a lower suspension 13 is provided at the center of the lower side of the central surface 12 of the three-divided sheet. The lower suspender 13 is formed by sewing both ends of the strap like the upper suspender 5, but both ends of the lower suspender 13 are sewn at positions slightly higher than the lower side of the seat. . This is because when the laundry in the bag is accommodated and the lower side portion is folded, the bottom end portion of the sheet that becomes the outer side when the base end portion of the lower suspender is folded is pressed, and the bag mouth is more reliably closed. It is for doing so.
[0021]
The bag of the second embodiment configured as described above opens the lower side in the upside down manner and stores the laundry in the bag, as in the first embodiment. When a predetermined amount of laundry is stored, the lower side portion is bent with the surface on which the lower suspender 13 is sewn on the outside, and the hangers 5 and 13 are hooked on the hooks of the conveyor and suspended. The conveyor carrier 15 is provided with two upper and lower hooks. The upper hook 5 is hooked on the upper hook 11 and the lower hook 13 is hooked on the lower hook 14. In this state, the bag 10 is transported to the laundry loading position, and the lower hand 13 is released from the lower hook 14 at the loading position, so that the laundry in the bag is dropped by its own weight and loaded into a washing machine or the like. Thereafter, the upper suspender 5 is released from the upper hook 11, and the bag itself is dropped and put into a washing machine or the like. The washing machine for loading the laundry and the washing machine for loading the bag may be the same or different depending on the difference in the material of the laundry and the bag.
[0022]
In the case of the structure of the second embodiment, the bag is folded with its meeting portion inside during conveyance, and the weight of the stored laundry is held on the surface 12 side that is outside when folded. Since the meeting portion is wrapped inside, the meeting portion of the bag does not open during the conveyance. In addition, since there is no seam or seam on the lower surface 12 when folded, when a water-impermeable sheet or a waterproof sheet is used as the sheet 1, a large amount of blood or dirt is contained in the laundry inside. Even if it is, there is no risk that they will leak out of the bag during transport.
[0023]
6 and 7 show an embodiment of the invention according to claim 3. In this embodiment, the lower suspension 13 described in the second embodiment is attached to the lower side portion of the outer member 2 of the seated sheet. The sheet forming the bag is cut off obliquely at the lower side of the side 2 which is the outer side when the sheets are laid before being folded, and one end of the lower suspension 13 is sewn to the tip of the side 16 extending diagonally. To be. In the structure of the third embodiment, the length of the lower suspension 13 is considerably longer than the length of the upper suspension 5.
[0024]
In the third embodiment, after the laundry is accommodated in the bag, it is folded with the outer side of the seated sheet (the side on which the lower suspension 13 is attached) outside, as shown in FIG. The upper suspender 5 and the lower suspender 13 are suspended from two hooks 11 and 14 provided on the carrier 15 of the conveyor. In this suspended state, since the tension in the vertical direction is applied to the bent outer surface, there is no possibility that the laundry is dropped during conveyance by opening the sheet meeting portion. Moreover, since the lower hanger 13 is lengthened, even if the heights of the two hooks 11 and 14 of the conveyor are made substantially equal, the folding length of the bag lower side can be reduced.
[0025]
In the above embodiment, the upper side of the bag is closed by sewing. However, when an impermeable plastic sheet or the like is used, for example, the upper side of the bag can be closed by thermal fusion or the like. In the drawing, the hooks 11 and 14 are shown as the simplest hooks that can be detached by hand. However, hooks that are released by pulling a pull string or hooks that are released by operating a lever or solenoid are used. Thus, the loading of the laundry in the bag and the loading of the bag itself into a washing machine or the like can be easily automated.
[0026]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention described above, the laundry stored in the bag can be easily input without the operator's hand, and the stored laundry is stored even when the operator performs the input operation. A laundry transport bag can be obtained in which blood or sewage adhering to an object is not likely to adhere to an operator. Furthermore, the laundry carrying bag of the present invention is particularly suitable as a bag for carrying laundry that is very dirty because it can sufficiently wash the inside of the bag without washing the bag upside down. It is.
