SIMPLE COVER FOR LAUNDRY DRYING HANGER

Abstract

Traditional laundry drying hanger covers would either restrict wind flow or have problems where the lower portions thereof would be lifted up by the wind. These issues are due to a lack of space between the laundry being dried and the cover, the lower portions being too unrestricted, and the top surface being designed to have the same size and shape as the frame of a hanger. The present invention is configured such that the top surface of the cover is circular or oval-shaped with a size larger than the frame of the hanger and such that a lower portion fabric of an appropriate length is added to the periphery of the top surface of the cover. This configuration allows the cover to be used for a variety of shapes of hangers, allows laundry to dry while being blown by the wind, and prevents the lower portions from being lifted up.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates to a cover which is hung from the upper part of a laundry drying hanger so as to cover the whole hanger, and thus protects laundry from dust and the like, and prevents the laundry from being seen by others.

BACKGROUND ART

[0002] Conventional laundry drying hanger covers include covers sewn into three-dimensional shapes such as cubical and cylindrical shapes so as to suit to the shapes of various drying hangers (e.g., see PATENT LITERATURE 1).

[0003] There is also a cover configured to cover with a flat fabric (e.g., see PATENT LITERATURE 2).

SUMMARY OF INVENTION

Technical Problem

[0006] The cover of PATENT LITERATURE 1 described above is formed into a cubical or cylindrical shape. Thus, this cover is not flapped by the wind due to lack of room between the cover and laundry, and therefore does not allow the laundry to easily dry, and has difficulty in adapting to hangers having other shapes. The cover of PATENT LITERATURE 2 allows laundry to be blown by the wind and easy dry, and can adapt to hangers having various shapes, but has a bottom remaining lifted up by a strong wind and becomes useless.

[0007] The present invention is intended to solve the problems of such conventional configurations, and an object of the present invention is to allow laundry to be flapped by the wind, prevent a bottom from remaining lifted up by a strong wind, and adapt to hangers having various shapes.

Solution to Problem

[0008] Furthermore, in order to achieve the above-described object, the present invention uses, for a top, a circular or oval fabric having a size larger than a frame of a laundry drying hanger, and adds a bottom fabric of an appropriate length to the periphery of the top, thereby providing a balloon-like shape.

[0009] Effects by the above-described solution of the problems are as follows. It is possible to adapt to laundry drying hangers having various shapes by using, for a top, a circular or oval fabric having a size larger than a frame of a laundry drying hanger. A balloon-like shape is provided by adding a bottom fabric of an appropriate length to the periphery of the top. This produces a space to be filled with the wind, and allows laundry to dry while being blown by the wind and streaming. Since the bottom is relatively closed as in a balloon, it is possible to prevent the bottom from remaining lifted up by a strong wind.

Advantageous Effects of Invention

[0010] As described above, a laundry drying hanger cover of the present invention allows laundry to dry while being flapped by the wind, prevents a bottom from remaining lifted up by a strong wind, and can adapt to laundry drying hangers having any shapes.
