Description

  The present invention relates to a washing net used when washing clothes, and more particularly, to a washing net that can change the size (volume) of a bag body that contains clothes according to how to use it.

  Patent Document 1 proposes a laundry net in which the size of the bag can be enlarged or reduced. As shown in FIG. 7 (a), the laundry net 9 includes a substantially cylindrical surrounding surface 91, a substantially circular upper bottom surface 92 and a lower bottom surface 93 provided at the upper and lower ends of the surrounding surface 91, respectively. And is formed so as to have a substantially drum shape when the contents are filled. The upper bottom surface 92 is provided with a slide opening / closing type fastener 94 that traverses the upper bottom surface 92 in the radial direction, and the laundry is opened and closed by opening the door fastener 94.

  In the washing net 9, the upper half of the surrounding surface 91 is a main body 95 and the lower half is an expansion / contraction part 96, and a sliding opening / closing type is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the expansion / contraction part 96. An expansion / contraction fastener 97 is provided. Then, by the opening / closing operation of the expansion / contraction fastener 97, the expansion / contraction portion 96 is expanded / contracted in the height direction.

  That is, at the upper end of the expansion / contraction part 96 (boundary portion between the main body part 95 and the expansion / contraction part 96), a half body (fastener stringer) of the expansion / contraction fastener 97 having a plurality of elements (service teeth) on the side edge portion, It is attached so as to go around the surrounding surface 91. And the other half which can be mutually meshed | engaged with the said half is attached to the lower end (outer peripheral edge of the lower bottom face 93) of the expansion / contraction part 96 so that it may oppose this, and the surrounding surface 91 may be circulated. . These two halves have an extended portion on the start end side (side where the slider is slid in the direction to open the fastener) via the inner side of the engagement end portion (position where the slider completely closes the fastener) of both halves. It extends along the surrounding surface 91, and asymptotically approaches each other toward the middle of the expansion / contraction portion 96, and forms a meshing start end portion (a position where the slider completely opens the fastener) 98 of the expansion / contraction fastener 97 at the meeting portion. doing. Then, when the slider 99 engaged with both halves is slid over the entire circumference of the surrounding surface 91 from the engagement start end portion 98 to the engagement end portion, as shown in FIG. The fastener 97 is closed over its entire length, and the lower bottom surface 93 is united with the lower end of the main body portion 95. Thereby, the expansion / contraction part 96 is folded inside the main-body part 95, and the magnitude | size (volume) of a bag is reduced to about half.

  In this way, if the capacity of the laundry net 9 can be expanded and contracted, the expansion / contraction section 96 is reduced at the stage of collecting dirty laundry in a laundry service provided at a nursing / medical facility, for example. It is possible to prevent the overloading of the laundry, expand the expansion / contraction part 96 at the time of washing, increase the washing efficiency, and dry in the expanded state even in the drying stage. That is, since the laundry can be performed consistently without having to replace the laundry in the laundry net 9, the labor of the laundry operator is greatly reduced. Since it is also possible to specify the user for each individual laundry net 9, there is also an advantage that the user is not worried that his laundry will be mixed with or lost to the laundry of others. can get.

JP 2004-242818 A

  The conventional expandable / contractible laundry net 9 is provided with an expansion / contraction fastener 97 for expanding / contracting the bag over substantially one and a half of the surrounding surface 91, and its extended portion on the start end side of the expansion / contraction portion 96. Asymptotically meeting each other toward the middle. That is, since the substantially total length of the expansion / contraction fastener 97 is large, the opening / closing operation itself is troublesome, and the shape of the bag body is maintained by the stiffness (higher rigidity than the bag body) of the expansion / contraction fastener 97. The efficiency and flexibility of the washing and drying operations may be reduced.

  In addition, the conventional washing net 9 is formed so that the entrance / exit fastener 94 and the expansion / contraction fastener 97 are exposed on the outer surface of the bag body, so that a part of them (especially the slider 99 etc.) can be used for other washing. There is a risk of being caught in the mesh of the work net, a sliding operation becoming difficult due to a collision in the washing tub, or the pulling of the slider 99 may be removed.

  Accordingly, the present invention improves the shape retention and flexibility of the bag body by improving the fastener structure for expanding and contracting the bag body in the laundry net that can be expanded and contracted as described above. The problem to be solved is to improve the overall usability by eliminating the troubles caused by the exposure of fasteners.

  In order to achieve the above-described object, the laundry net of the present invention is provided with an opening for taking in and out the laundry at the upper end of the bottomed cylindrical bag body that can store the laundry, and the height of the bag body. In the laundry net, the intermediate portion in the length direction is an expansion / contraction portion capable of expanding / contracting height by an opening / closing operation of the expansion / contraction fastener attached along the peripheral surface of the bag body, the expansion / contraction fastener is the expansion / contraction Reverse fastener comprising a pair of expansion / contraction fastener halves attached so as to go around the circumferential surface of the bag body along the upper and lower ends of the portion, and two sliders for opening and closing the halves. When the end of one half is extracted from these two sliders, both halves are separated from each other over the entire length, and the two sliders are separable from the other half. Features .

  According to this configuration, since the total length of the expansion / contraction fastener attached to the intermediate portion of the bag body is accommodated in one circumference of the peripheral surface of the bag body, the opening / closing operation of the expansion / contraction fastener is easier than before. In addition, the two halves constituting the expansion / contraction fastener are completely separated from each other over their entire length, so that the peripheral surface of the expansion / contraction part becomes a shape in which only the net material constituting the bag body is continuous, so that washing and drying operations are performed. The shape retention and flexibility at the time are suitably maintained, and the work efficiency is improved.

  Also, the expansion / contraction fasteners can be separated by separating the expansion / contraction fasteners, so other laundry nets may be caught on the expansion / contraction fastener sliders during washing / drying operations, or the sliders may break down due to impacts during washing, etc. Troubles such as or can be prevented.

  In the washing net, it is preferable that a skirt flap that covers the outer side of the expansion / contraction fastener is provided along the upper end of the expansion / contraction portion. By providing such a skirt flap, it is possible to prevent another laundry net or the like from being caught on the expansion / contraction fastener in the closed state. Further, when the expansion / contraction fastener is separated and the slider is engaged with the upper half of the fastener, it is easy to prevent the slider from being inadvertently moved by being covered.

  In the washing net, a detachable handle is preferably attached to the slider of the expansion / contraction fastener. According to this, when the laundry net is stored in the user and the laundry is collected, the user can use the handle by removing the handle from the slider of the expansion / contraction fastener with the expansion / contraction portion reduced. It is possible to avoid overloading the laundry by opening the expansion / contraction fastener.

  Further, according to the present invention, an entrance / exit fastener is attached to an upper end opening of the bag body in the washing net, and the entrance / exit fastener includes a pair of entrance / exit fastener halves respectively attached along both edges of the opening, and A reverse opening fastener having two sliders for opening and closing the two halves, and when the ends of one of the two halves are removed from the two sliders, the halves separate over their entire length; and Further, two sliders can also be separated from the other half.

  With this structure, the inlet / outlet fastener can be easily removed and replaced when the slider of the inlet / outlet fastener is damaged, or when the lint is entangled with the inlet / outlet fastener, the slider can be removed to remove the element or slider. It becomes easy to clean.

  In the washing net, it is preferable that side tabs for joining the two entrance / exit fastener halves are attached to both ends of the entrance / exit fastener, and a cover flap for covering the slider of the entrance / exit fastener is attached to each side tab. . The side tabs in this configuration appropriately maintain the end interval between the two inlet / outlet fastener halves and make it easier to pick the end of the entrance / exit fastener with a fingertip when moving the slider. Further, the cover flap covers the slider brought close to both ends of the entrance / exit fastener to prevent a trouble that the slider is caught or damaged during washing / drying operations.

  In the washing net, a detachable handle is preferably attached to the slider of the entrance / exit fastener. According to this, since the slider handle can be removed during the washing / drying operation, it is possible to avoid the trouble that the handle is caught or damaged during the washing / drying operation.

  According to the laundry net of the present invention configured as described above, the operation distance of the expansion / contraction fastener attached to the intermediate portion of the bag body is only one round of the circumferential surface of the bag body, so the operation of expanding and contracting the bag body Becomes easier than before. In addition, the halves constituting the expansion / contraction fastener are completely separated over the entire length, and the peripheral surface of the expansion / contraction portion has a shape in which only the netting material constituting the bag body is continuous. The shape retention and flexibility of the whole body are suitably maintained, and the work efficiency is improved.

  In addition, by covering the sliders of the expansion / contraction fasteners and the entrance / exit fasteners and making the slider handle removable, other laundry nets may be caught on the slider and handle during washing and drying operations, and the slider and handle may be damaged. And the general usability of workers and users involved in washing and drying from the collection of the laundry can be improved to various levels as compared with the prior art.

Show.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the laundry net 1 of the present invention is configured using a bottomed cylindrical bag body 2 that can store laundry, and the laundry is put in and out of the upper end of the bag body 2. An opening is provided for this purpose.

  The bag body 2 includes a substantially cylindrical or polygonal cylindrical surrounding surface 21 that approximates this, and a substantially circular or polygonal lower bottom surface 22 that is stitched to the lower end of the surrounding surface 21. . Each of the surrounding surface 21 and the lower bottom surface 22 is formed by sewing a tough synthetic fiber net material having excellent water resistance and chemical resistance, such as polyester fiber and polyamide fiber. The mesh material according to the exemplary embodiment employs a honeycomb mesh having a hexagonal mesh. The honeycomb mesh has a hexagonal shape that approximates a circular mesh, so that the force applied to the connecting portion of the mesh is dispersed and is not easily broken, and the lint and the like that are unraveled from the clothes during washing are not easily entangled with the corner of the mesh. It has the advantage that it becomes.

  The surrounding surface 21 and the lower bottom surface 22 of the bag body 2 may be integrally sewn using a continuous mesh material, but in the illustrated embodiment, the surrounding surface 21 and the lower bottom surface 22 are formed separately. The lower bottom surface 22 has a two-layer structure of honeycomb mesh. With this configuration, the rigidity of the lower bottom surface 22 is slightly larger than the rigidity of the surrounding surface 21, the shape retention of the entire bag body 2 is improved, and the laundry can easily move in the bag body 2 during washing and drying operations. .

  An opening / closing fastener 3 is attached to the opening at the upper end of the bag body 2. 3 and 4 show details of the entrance fastener 3. The entrance / exit fastener 3 is a so-called reverse opening fastener that can be opened / closed from both ends, and includes a pair of entrance / exit fastener halves 31, 31 and two sliders 4, 4 that open / close them. .

  Each entrance / exit fastener half 31 is formed by attaching a plurality of elements (service teeth) to one side edge of a tape (base fabric). The other side edge of the tape is sewn substantially linearly along the upper end opening of the bag body 2. A hinge pin 32 having a shape that can pass through the rail 41 (see FIG. 6) of the slider 4 is attached to one end of the element row in each of the inlet / outlet fastener halves 31, and the rail of the slider 4 is attached to the other end of the element row. A box bar 33 of a shape that cannot pass through is attached. Then, the box bar 33 of the one inlet / outlet fastener half 31 is paired with the butterfly bar 32 of the other inlet / outlet fastener half 31, and the butterfly bar 32 of the one inlet / outlet fastener half 31 is connected to the other inlet / outlet fastener half 31. The half bars 31 are arranged opposite to each other so as to form a pair with the box bar 33 of the half body 31.

  Each slider 4 is formed with a Y-shaped rail 41 that engages with the element rows of both the entrance and exit fastener halves 31 and 31 to engage and separate the elements. In addition, a pulling portion 5 for moving the slider 4 is attached to a pillar portion 42 (see FIG. 6) protruding from the back surface of the slider 4. In addition, although the handle 5 which concerns on an example form can be easily attached or detached to the slider 4, the structure is mentioned later.

  As shown in FIG. 3, in the reverse opening fastener, the two sliders 4, 4 are in a so-called tailing direction in which the closing side of the rail 41 (the side where the element rows are engaged with each other) face each other. Engaged with the entrance fastener halves 31, 31. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2A, when the two sliders 4 and 4 are moved away from each other and moved to one end and the other end of the entrance / exit fastener 3, the entrance / exit fastener 3 is fully closed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5B, when one slider 4 is brought close to one end of the entrance / exit fastener 3 and the two sliders 4, 4 are brought into contact with each other, the other end side of the entrance / exit fastener 3 is moved. open. In the illustrated form, the butterfly bar 32 and the box bar 33 are arranged opposite to each other at both ends of each of the inlet / outlet fastener halves 31, 31, so that at one end where the two sliders 4, 4 are brought together ( The butterfly stick 32 attached to one end of the half body 31 when the end part of the entrance / closing fastener half 31 on the one where the butterfly stick 32 is attached to the one end: The bar 32 passes through the rails 41 of both sliders 4, 4, and the half 31 is extracted from the two sliders 4, 4. At this time, the box bar 33 attached to the one end of the other (the upper side in the drawing) entrance / exit fastener half 31 functions as a stopper for preventing the two sliders 4 and 4 from coming out of the other half 31. In this way, both the entrance and exit fastener halves 31 and 31 are completely separated over their entire length. The two sliders 4 and 4 are left in a state where they are engaged with the other half 31 (the one with the box bar 33 attached to the one end: the upper side in the drawing).

  From that state, as shown in FIG. 3C, the two sliders 4 and 4 are moved to the other end side along the other half of the inlet / outlet fastener half 31 (the upper side in the drawing) with which they are engaged. Let Since the other end of the half 31 is a butterfly pin 32 that can pass through the rail 41 of the sliders 4 and 4, the two sliders 4 and 4 come out of the butterfly pin 32. Thus, the two sliders 4, 4 are completely separated from the entrance / exit fastener 3. When the two sliders 4, 4 are engaged with the entrance / exit fastener 3, the order is reversed.

  As described above, the butterfly bar 32 and the box bar 33 are attached to both ends of both the entrance and exit fastener halves 31 and 31 so as to be opposite to each other, and the two sliders 4 and 4 aligned with each other are detachably engaged with the entrance and exit fastener 3. By combining, for example, when the slider 4 is damaged, the broken slider 4 can be easily removed and replaced. Further, when yarn waste gets entangled with the entrance / exit fastener 3, it becomes easy to remove the slider 4 and clean the element and the slider 4. Moreover, these tools do not require special tools or skills.

  Side tabs 36 each having a short strip shape are attached to both ends of the entrance / exit fastener 3 so as to project in the extending direction of the entrance / exit fastener 3. These side tabs 36 are members for making it easy to firmly grip the end portion of the entrance / exit fastener 3 with a fingertip when the slider 4 is moved as described above. FIG. 4 (a) shows an enlarged view of how the side tabs 36 are attached.

  The side tab 36 is made of, for example, a strong synthetic fiber cloth material such as polyester fiber, and the base end side thereof is overlapped and stitched on the lower surfaces in the vicinity of the end portions of both tapes constituting both the entrance and exit fastener halves 31 and 31. The And when both the entrance / exit fastener halves 31 and 31 are separated from each other, the side tab 36 holds the box bar 33 and the butterfly stick 32 in a separated state of about several millimeters by the width of itself, When the halves 31 and 31 are engaged with each other, the width of the halves 31 is curved to hold the box bar 33 and the butterfly bar 32 in contact. Further, when the slider 4 is engaged with and disengaged from both the entrance and exit fastener halves 31, 31, the side tab 36 bends and deforms with an appropriate degree of freedom in the longitudinal direction of the entrance and exit fastener 3, thereby enabling the engagement and disengagement of the slider 4. .

  Further, a cover flap 38 for covering the slider 4 brought close to the end portion of the entrance / exit fastener 3 is attached to the side tab 36. The cover flap 38 is formed using a short strip made of a synthetic fiber cloth material similar to the side tab 36. The cover flap 38 shown in FIG. 4 (a) is stitched with the base end side overlapped with the upper surface of the side tab 36, and the free end side is overlapped with the upper surface near the end of the entrance / exit fastener 3 in FIG. 4 (a). As shown by the imaginary line, the back surface of the slider 4 brought close to the end is covered.

  The entrance / exit fastener 3 is used in a closed state during washing / drying operations, that is, in a state where the sliders 4, 4 are brought close to both ends of the entrance / exit fastener 3. Accordingly, by covering each slider 4 at both ends of the entrance / exit fastener 3 as described above, other washing nets are caught on the slider 4 or the slider 4 collides with the washing tub or the like during washing / drying operations. It becomes easy to prevent troubles caused by the slider 4 such as damage. If the free end side of the cover flap 38 is lifted up, the operation of engaging and disengaging the slider 4 with the inlet / outlet fastener halves 31 and 31 can be carried out without difficulty.

  FIG. 4B shows another embodiment of the cover flap 38. The cover flap 38 is formed using a strip longer than the above-described form shown in FIG. The base end side (one short side) of the cover flap 38 is stitched on the upper surface of the side tab 36 in the same manner as in the above embodiment, but the free end side of the cover flap 38 has a wider range than the above-described configuration. It overlaps with the vicinity of the end of the fastener 3. The one side edge (one long side) of the cover flap 38 is stitched linearly from the one side edge of the side tab 36 to the upper surface in the vicinity of the end portion of the tape constituting one of the inlet / outlet fastener halves 31, Thus, the slider 4 brought close to the end portion 3 can be more reliably covered. When the slider 4 is engaged or disengaged, the other side edge (the other long side) of the cover flap 38 is raised.

  In the laundry net 1 of the present invention, the bag body 2 is reduced in principle in order to prevent over-packing at the stage of collecting the laundry so that the laundry can easily move in the bag body 2 during washing and drying operations. Since the usage of expanding the bag body 2 is assumed, the expansion / contraction part 24 is provided in an intermediate portion in the height direction of the bag body 2. As shown in FIG. 1 (a), in the illustrated embodiment, when the bag body 2 in the expanded state (content filling state) is divided into approximately three equal parts in the height direction, the middle-stage cylinder is approximately 1/3. The shaped portion is an expansion / contraction portion 24. For convenience of explanation, the upper part of the expansion / contraction part 24 is defined as a mouth part 25 and the lower part of the expansion / contraction part 24 is defined as a bottom reservoir part 26. The height ratios of the mouth part 25, the expansion / contraction part 24, and the bottom reservoir part 26 are not limited to the ratios in the illustrated form, and can be appropriately modified within a range not impairing the practicality.

  The expansion / contraction portion 24 is expanded / contracted by opening / closing the expansion / contraction fasteners 6 provided at the upper and lower ends thereof. Similar to the entrance / exit fastener 3 described above, the expansion / contraction fastener 6 employs a reverse opening fastener that can be opened and closed from both ends.

  FIG. 5 shows details of the expansion / contraction fastener 6. The expansion / contraction fastener 6 includes a pair of upper and lower expansion / contraction fastener halves 61, 61 and two sliders 4, 4 that open and close them. Each expansion / contraction fastener half 61 has a plurality of elements on one side edge of the tape, and the other side edge of the tape substantially wraps around the surrounding surface 21 along the upper end or the lower end of the expansion / contraction part 24. It can be sewn. A butterfly pin 62 having a shape that can pass through the rail 41 of the slider 4 is attached to one end of the element row in each expansion / contraction fastener half 61, and the rail 41 of the slider 4 cannot pass through the other end of the element row. A box bar 63 of a different shape is attached. The box bar 63 of one expansion / contraction fastener half 61 is paired with the butterfly bar 62 of the other expansion / contraction fastener half 61, and the butterfly bar 62 of one expansion / contraction fastener half 61 is the other. The expansion / contraction fastener halves 61 are arranged opposite to each other so as to make a pair with the box bar 63.

  Each slider 4 is formed with a Y-shaped rail 41 (see FIG. 6) that engages and separates the elements of the expansion / contraction fastener halves 61 and 61. In addition, a detachable handle 5 (described later) is attached to the column portion 42 protruding from the back surface of the slider 4 in order to move the slider 4. The configurations of the slider 4 and the handle 5 are not particularly different from those attached to the above-described entrance / exit fastener 3, and are therefore denoted by the same reference numerals.

  The two sliders 4, 4 are engaged with both the expansion / contraction fastener halves 61, 61 in a so-called tailing direction in which the closing side of the rail 41 (the side where the element row is engaged) is opposed to each other. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5A, when the two sliders 4 and 4 are moved to one end and the other end of the expansion / contraction fastener 6, respectively, the expansion / contraction fastener 6 is fully closed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5B, when one slider 4 is brought close to one end of the expansion / contraction fastener 6 and the two sliders 4, 4 are brought close to each other, the other end side of the expansion / contraction fastener 6 is moved. open. In the illustrated embodiment, since the butterfly stick 62 and the box stick 63 are oppositely arranged at both ends of each of the expansion / contraction fastener halves 61, 61, at one end where the two sliders 4, 4 are brought together, When the end of the expansion / contraction fastener half 61 (on which the butterfly stick 62 is attached to the one end: the lower side in the drawing) is picked and shifted to the center side of the expansion / contraction fastener 6, it is attached to one end of the half 61 The resulting butterfly rod 62 passes through the rails 41 of both sliders 4 and 4, and the half 61 is extracted from the two sliders 4 and 4. At this time, the box bar 63 attached to the one end of the other (upper side in the drawing) expansion / contraction fastener half 61 functions as a stopper that prevents the two sliders 4, 4 from coming out of the other half 61. . Thus, both the expansion / contraction fastener halves 61, 61 are also completely separated over the entire length thereof. The two sliders 4 and 4 are left in a state of being engaged with the other half (the one with the box bar 63 attached to the one end: the upper side in the drawing).

  From this state, as shown in FIG. 5C, the two sliders 4 and 4 are moved to the other end side along the other half of the expansion / contraction fastener half 61 (the upper side in the drawing) with which they are engaged. Move. The other end of the half body 61 is attached with a butterfly pin 62 that can pass through the rail 41 of the sliders 4 and 4, so that the two sliders 4 and 4 come out of the butterfly rod 62 and expand and contract. It is completely separated from the fastener 6 for use. When the two sliders 4, 4 are engaged with the expansion / contraction fastener 6, the reverse order of the separation procedure is used.

  By such a configuration and operation of the expansion / contraction fastener 6, the expansion / contraction portion 24 can be expanded / contracted to change the volume of the bag body 2. When the expansion / contraction part 24 is reduced, the mesh material constituting the peripheral surface of the expansion / contraction part 24 is folded inside the expansion / contraction part 24 (see FIG. 2).

  And at the time of washing / drying operation, the expansion / contraction fastener 6 can be completely separated, and the mobility of the laundry can be enhanced. In particular, according to the present invention, both the expansion / contraction fastener halves 61, 61 are attached over substantially the entire circumference of the expansion / contraction part 24, and the two halves 61, 61 are completely separated when they are opened. The circumferential surface of the expansion / contraction part 24 in FIG. That is, unlike the conventional washing net 9, the starting end side of the expansion / contraction fastener 97 is extended by approximately a half circumference of the surrounding surface 91, and the configuration does not become asymptotic to each other near the middle of the expansion / contraction portion 96. The distance required for the opening / closing operation of the expansion / contraction fastener 6 can be shorter than before, and the shape retaining property and flexibility of the bag body 2 are evenly ensured over the entire peripheral surface of the bag body 2, and the efficiency during washing and drying operations Is further improved.

  Further, since the sliders 4 and 4 can be removed when the expansion / contraction fastener 6 is separated, the slider 4 is caught in the mesh of other laundry nets during washing / drying operations, or collides with a washing tub and the like, making sliding operation difficult. It is possible to avoid various troubles caused by the slider 4 such as the slider 4 or the handle 5 of the slider 4 coming off. Of course, when the slider 4 is damaged or troubled by an operation other than during the washing / drying operation, the slider 4 can be easily replaced or cleaned in the same manner as the entrance / exit fastener 3 described above.

  However, when a small amount of laundry is collected in the bag body 2, the washing / drying operation may be performed with the expansion / contraction portion 24 being reduced. Even when the expansion / contraction part 24 is expanded, there is a possibility that the washing / drying operation may be performed with the sliders 4, 4 engaged with one half 61 of the separated expansion / contraction fastener 6. Accordingly, the laundry net 1 according to the exemplary embodiment is provided with a skirt flap 27 that covers the sliders 4 and 4 engaged with the expansion / contraction fastener 6 in preparation for such usage.

  The skirt flap 27 extends the lower edge of the mesh material constituting the mouth portion 25 of the bag body 2 as shown in FIG. Is formed by folding back inward. The biased tape in which the folded portion of the mesh material is further inverted so as to wrap around the upper edge of the tape constituting the upper half 61 of the expansion / contraction fastener 6, and the overlapping portions thereof are overlapped on the outside of the half 61. 28 and stitched together. In this way, a skirt flap 27 is formed at the upper end of the expansion / contraction portion 24 so as to cover the expansion / contraction fastener 6 over substantially the entire circumference of the expansion / contraction portion 24.

  The mesh material sewn to the upper half 61 of the expansion / contraction fastener 6 is extended inward to form the enveloping surface 21 of the expansion / contraction part 24 and further folded back so as to wrap around the lower half 61 of the expansion / contraction fastener 6. These superposed portions are stitched together with a bias tape 29 that is superimposed on the outside of the half 61. The net member extending further downward from the lower half 61 of the expansion / contraction fastener 6 constitutes the surrounding surface 21 of the bottom reservoir 26.

  By providing such a skirt flap 27 along the outer periphery of the expansion / contraction portion 24, the outer surface of the expansion / contraction fastener 6 in a closed state is covered, and another laundry net or the like is the slider 4 of the expansion / contraction fastener 6. It is possible to prevent it from being caught by the like. In addition, even when the expansion / contraction fastener 6 is separated, if the slider 4 is engaged with the upper half of the fastener, it can be covered to prevent troubles such as catching due to the slider 4, It is also easy to prevent the slider 4 from inadvertently moving out of the half 61 due to external force during washing / drying operations.

  FIG. 6 shows a schematic configuration of the detachable pull handle 5 attached to the slider 4 of the entrance / exit fastener 3 and the expansion / contraction fastener 6.

  The handle 5 is configured by combining a main body 52 having a hook 51 at the tip and a movable member 53 that opens and closes the hook 51. The main body 52 is made of a metal plate having a substantially rectangular shape when viewed from above, and a substantially L-shaped hook 51 is formed at the tip. A concave portion 54 extending in the longitudinal direction of the main body 52 is formed in the central portion of the upper surface of the main body 52, and the movable member 53 is fitted into the concave portion 54.

  The movable member 53 is made of a slightly elastically deformable synthetic resin. A short claw portion 55 is formed at the front end, and a finger hook portion having a substantially semicircular cross section is formed on the upper surface of the rear end. An engaging piece (not shown) protrudes from the lower surface of the movable member 53, and the engaging piece engages with a groove 56 formed in the concave portion 54 of the main body 52, thereby moving the movable member relative to the main body 52. 53 is held so that it can slide in the longitudinal direction. Appropriate small protrusions (not shown) and spring pieces 57 are formed on the contact surface of the main body 52 and the movable member 53 so that the movable member 53 is locked at both ends of the sliding range. It has come to be.

  When the movable member 53 is slid to the front end side of the main body 52 as shown in FIG. 6A in a state where the hook 51 of the main body 52 is hooked on the column portion 42 of the slider 4, the short claw of the movable member 53. The portion 55 closes the hook 51 of the main body 52 so that the handle 5 does not move away from the slider 4, and the slider 4 can be moved by holding the handle 5. As shown in FIG. 6B, when the movable member 53 is slid toward the rear end side of the main body 52, the short claw portion 55 of the movable member 53 is separated from the hook 51 of the main body 52, and the handle 5 is moved. It can be removed from the column part 42 of the slider 4.

  Although this embodiment shows an example of a configuration in which the handle 5 can be attached to and detached from the slider 4, the configuration of the handle 5 in the present invention is not limited to this. Conventionally known attachment / detachment mechanisms including such members can also be used.

  If the handle 5 of the slider 4 is detachable with such a configuration, the following usability can be obtained. That is, with respect to the entrance / exit fastener 3, the sliders 4, 4 are brought close to both ends during the washing / drying operation, and the entrance / exit fastener 3 is closed. If the handle 5 is removed from the sliders 4 and 4 of the entrance / exit fastener 3 in this state, another laundry net may be caught by the handle 5 during the washing / drying operation, or the handle 5 may be damaged by an impact during the operation. Troubles such as doing can be avoided.

  On the other hand, with respect to the enlargement / reduction fastener 6, when the laundry is collected, the laundry net 1 is deposited with the user in a state in which the enlargement / reduction fastener 6 is closed in advance in order to prevent overloading of the laundry. If the handle 5 is removed from the sliders 4 and 4 of the expansion / contraction fastener 6 at this time, it is possible to prevent the user from unnecessarily opening the expansion / contraction fastener 6 and overloading the laundry.

  It is also preferable to use a so-called automatic slider (slider fastener slider with an automatic stop function) for either or both of the entrance / exit fastener 3 and the expansion / contraction fastener 6 in addition to such a detachable puller 5. The automatic slider is a slider in which a lock mechanism (reference numeral 43 in FIG. 6) for restraining the movement of the slider is built in the body of the slider, and the lock is released when the handle 5 is pulled, so that the slider can move. If the detachable handle 5 is combined with this kind of slider 4, the movement of the slider 4 is locked when the handle 5 is removed, so that the user can be surely prevented from opening and closing the fastener without permission. Can do.
