Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a household dry cleaning device using a volatile liquid such as gasoline.

(Prior art) Conventionally, when dry-cleaning Japanese clothes using volatile liquids such as gasoline, the cleaning and dehydrating work was done in an open state to the outside, so evaporated gas filled the room and could catch fire. Due to the risk of damage, this was only carried out by a very limited number of specialized companies. Therefore, the washing of silk products, etc. must be done by a specialized company, which is expensive, and requires time and time, resulting in the problem that silk products, etc. cannot be worn comfortably.

Therefore, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 28-5084, a basket for storing laundry is rotatably attached to a cylindrical body, a volatile liquid tank is attached to the cylindrical body, and the cylindrical body is rotated vertically to open the volatile liquid tank. When the laundry is placed in the upper position, the laundry stored in the basket is soaked in the volatile liquid, and the laundry is washed by rotating the basket.After washing is completed, when the cylinder is rotated and the volatile liquid tank is placed in the lower position, the volatile liquid is soaked in the laundry. Let them gather in the tank,
Cleaning and cleaning in a sealed cylinder without the volatile liquid coming into contact with the outside air.
The idea was to dehydrate it.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the above-mentioned conventional technology, when the laundry in the basket is taken out, the volatile liquid is left open, so the vaporized gas of the volatile liquid filling the room is released to the outside. There was a problem that there was a risk of ignition because the water leaked without restriction.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned problems, and includes a basket chamber for storing laundry and a volatile liquid tank chamber, which communicate with each other through a communication hole. The device is characterized in that a manually opened/closed valve is attached to the basket chamber, an opening/closing lid is attached to the basket chamber, and a discharge port is provided to the volatile liquid tank chamber so that it can be attached to and detached from the washing tub of a ready-made washing machine.

(Example) Hereinafter, a detailed explanation will be given based on the illustrated example. Reference numeral 1 denotes a cylindrical main body, in which a basket-like basket 2 is floated and fixed by support rods 3 in a basket chamber 1a in the upper half, and a volatile liquid 4 is stored in a volatile liquid tank chamber 1b in the lower half. The centers of the basket chamber 1a and the volatile liquid tank chamber 1b are communicated through a through hole 1c. 5 is a valve inserted into the through hole 1c, one end of which protrudes outside the main body 1, and when the handle 6 is rotated, the valve is inserted into the through hole 1c.
c can be opened and closed. Reference numeral 7 denotes an opening/closing lid which is attached to the upper part of the basket chamber 1a so that it can be opened and closed at one end with a hinge 8. Reference numeral 9 denotes a discharge hose 10 connected to the discharge port of the volatile liquid tank chamber 1b, and is normally held with the tip facing upward as shown in the figure. has been done. 11 is a volatile liquid filter attached to the lower part of the basket chamber 1a.

Next, the effect will be explained. Opening/closing lid 7 of main body 1
is opened, the laundry is stored in the basket 2, and the opening/closing lid 7 is closed. Next, turn the handle 6 to open the through hole 1c.
The main body 1 is opened and the main body 1 is turned upside down, and the volatile liquid 4 flows into the basket chamber 1a through the through hole 1c.The valve 5 is closed and the main body 1 is returned to its original normal position. In this state, as shown in Figure 2, the main body 1
is fixed in a rotating washing/dehydrating tank 12 of a ready-made washing machine using an attachment 13 without any play. Next, when the motor of the washing machine is activated to rotate the rotary washing and dehydrating tub 12, the main body 1 also rotates, and the basket 2 is rotated.
The laundry in the basket chamber 1a is washed and dehydrated by the volatile liquid in the basket chamber 1a. Next, stop the motor and
, open the valve 5 and open the basket chamber 1a.
The volatile liquid inside is returned to the lower volatile liquid tank 1b, and the valve 5 is closed. Next, the device is carried to a complete location (outdoors), the opening/closing lid 7 is opened, and the washed and drained laundry is taken out from the basket 2.

(Effects) According to the present invention, the basket chamber for storing laundry is communicated with the volatile liquid tank chamber through a communication hole, a manually opened/closed valve is attached to the communication hole, an opening/closing lid is attached to the basket chamber, and the volatile liquid tank The chamber has a discharge outlet so that it can be inserted into and removed from the washing tub of a ready-made washing machine, so Japanese clothes can be washed in a sealed state with a volatile liquid such as gasoline at home using a ready-made washing machine. After cleaning, the volatile liquid is sealed with a valve, and the machine is carried to a safe location (outdoors) to remove the laundry, so only the small amount of vaporized gas remaining in the basket chamber escapes to the outside. Therefore, it is possible to provide a dry cleaning device with no risk of ignition at a low cost.
