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.
It was considered to perform dehydration, but there was a problem in that when the laundry in the basket was removed, the vaporized gas that had filled the cylinder would leak outside, posing a risk of ignition.

(Objective) The present invention utilizes a rotary washing tub of a ready-made washing machine,
To provide an inexpensive device that can safely and easily dry-clean Japanese clothes at home with a volatile liquid such as gasoline without fear of ignition.

(Structure) In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a case in which a basket-like basket for storing laundry is mounted in a casing that can be fixed in a rotary washing tub of a ready-made washing machine via an attachment, suspended by a support rod. , is characterized in that a volatile liquid tank is detachably attached to the housing.

Hereinafter, a detailed explanation will be given based on an example. Reference numeral 1 denotes a washing tub, in which a basket-shaped basket 2 is floated and fixed by a support rod 3, and an inner lid 4 having a large number of pores 4a.
It is attached removably. Reference numeral 5 denotes an outer lid of the washing tub 1, from which a cylindrical opening 5a is protruded. 6 is a volatile liquid tank such as gasoline, and a valve 7 is installed on the top.
The ball 9 is always pressed against the mouth part 6a by the spring 8 to close it. Reference numeral 10 denotes an annular attachment for fixing the washing tub 1 in the rotating washing tub 11 of a ready-made washing machine.

Next, how to use it will be explained. Remove the outer cover 5 and inner cover 4 of the washing tub 1, put the laundry into the basket 2, attach the inner cover 4 and outer cover 5, and turn the washing tub 1 upside down as shown in Fig. 3 to open the opening 5a. It is inserted into the opening 6a of the volatile liquid tank 6 and attached. At this time, the spring 8 is compressed to push the ball 9 downward, thereby communicating the mouth portion 6a and the mouth portion 5a. Next, when the volatile liquid tank 6 is turned upward, the volatile liquid flows through the openings 6a and 5a into the washing tub 1.
The liquid flows into the laundry basket 2 and soaks into the laundry in the basket 2.

Next, as shown in Fig. 4, the rotary washing tub 1 of a ready-made washing machine
1 and fix it with attachment 10 without any play. Next, the motor of the washing machine is activated to rotate the rotary washing tub 11 to remove liquid. Next, remove the attachment 10, take out the volatile liquid tank 6 and the washing tub 1 from the rotating washing tub 11, and remove the volatile liquid tank 6 as shown in FIG. Place the volatile liquid tank 6 with the
The volatile liquid is returned to the basket 2, the washing tub 1 is removed from the volatile liquid tank 6 and carried to a safe place, the outer cover 5 and the inner cover 4 are removed, and the washed and dehydrated laundry is taken out from the inside of the basket 2.

FIG. 5 shows a second embodiment. Reference numeral 11 designates a washing tub in which a basket-like basket 12 is suspended and fixed by support rods 13, and an inner lid 14 having a large number of small holes 14a is detachably attached to both sides of the tub. Washing tub 11
outer lids 15, 1 removably attached to the upper and lower ends of the
5' is provided with cylindrical openings 15a, 15a' projecting therefrom. 16, 16' are volatile liquid tanks such as gasoline, valves 17, 17' are attached to the upper part, and springs 18,
At 18', the balls 19, 19' are connected to the mouths 16a, 16
A′ is pressed and closed. This volatile liquid tank 16,
16' are the openings 15a, 1 at both upper and lower ends of the washing tub 11.
It is attached to 5a'. In this second embodiment, after washing is completed, the washing tub 11 is removed from the volatile liquid tank 16', the outer cover 15' and the inner cover 14' are removed, and the laundry can be taken out.

(Effects) According to the present invention, a basket-like basket for storing laundry is mounted in a casing that can be fixed in a rotary washing tub of a ready-made washing machine via an attachment, and is suspended by a support rod, and is attached to the casing. Since the volatile liquid tank is removably attached, it is possible to use the rotary washing tub of a ready-made washing machine to safely dry-clean Japanese clothes at home with volatile liquid such as gasoline without the risk of ignition at a low cost. can be obtained.
