Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

The present invention relates to kimono, fur, leather products,
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for packaging textile products such as silk, feathers, and futons in a compact manner while maintaining their quality (freshness).

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Textile products such as kimono and fur coats are not always worn on a daily basis, but only for a very short period of the year. Therefore, conventionally, such a textile product is usually stored together with an insect repellent in a clothes box or drawer of a drawer when it is not used.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned storage method, the odor peculiar to the insect repellent is transferred to the textile products by the long-term storage, and the insect repellent is exhausted and the essential textile products are eaten by the insects. Other than that, there are the following problems.

That is, since the above-mentioned fiber product is quite bulky, a considerable space for storage is also required, and it is quite difficult for the general household to store such a fiber product. In addition, in the general process, it is difficult to form a dedicated storage part, and therefore, it cannot be said that the storage environment of the textile product is necessarily good.

[0005]

On the other hand, in recent years,
There are some companies that specialize in storing the above-mentioned precious textile products, but there is the inconvenience that they cannot be taken out immediately in the event of a sudden need, and important items should be kept close at hand. There is a sense that it is better to do so, and such a method is not always perfect.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned matters, and an object of the present invention is to make a fiber product into a more compact and non-bulky shape, and to prevent it from being eaten by insects or moisture. It is intended to provide a method and a device for packaging a textile product which can be safely stored in the vicinity of the owner for a long period of time without sacrificing their quality without sacrificing their quality.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, a method for packaging a textile product according to the present invention is such that a textile product pretreated so that dew condensation does not occur after packaging is stored in a non-breathable bag. Then, the bag containing the textile product is placed on a press stand inclined forward and provided with a sensor for detecting an object and a plurality of air blowing holes on the surface, and descends from above the press stand. The pressing member presses the textile product contained in the bag, and heat is applied to the opening of the bag from which air is expelled by the pressing.

In the textile product packaging apparatus according to the present invention, a press table inclined forward and provided with a sensor for detecting an object and a plurality of air blow holes on the surface, and descending from above the press table. A pressing member and a heat-sealing portion provided on the upper end side of the pressing table are pressed by the pressing member in a state where a non-air-permeable bag containing a textile product is placed on the pressing table, and The opening of the bag after pressing is heat-sealed by the heat sealing portion.

[0009]

According to the above-mentioned packaging method, the textile product can be stored in a non-breathable bag in a compressed state and can be made into a compact shape. And since the textile products are housed in a non-breathable bag, they are kept as they are for a long period of time without being eaten by insects or being invaded by moisture, without impairing their quality. .

In the packaging apparatus, the bag containing the fiber product is placed on the press table, and the press member descends to press the bag to make it flat. Therefore, the operation is extremely simple.

Next, the operation of the textile product packaging apparatus 3 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 9.

First, before the textile product S is packaged in the bag F, it is necessary to perform a pretreatment after the packaging so as not to cause dew condensation. This pretreatment is performed by the packaging device 3 as shown in FIG.
Is preferably carried out in the housing 1 in which
The atmosphere in the housing 1 has a humidity of, for example, 20.
~ 55%, the temperature is 8 to 20 ° C, which is low humidity and low temperature. It is more preferable that the humidity is 20% and the temperature is 13%.
℃. When pre-treated under such conditions, so-called freshness packaging can be performed without dew condensation after packaging. The pretreatment time depends on whether the air permeability of the textile product S is good or bad, but if the air permeability is good, it is about 30 minutes, and if it is not good, it is about half a day to 1 day.

The bag F used for packaging is required to be non-breathable. For example, a composite of nylon and polyethylene, or a plurality of nylon vapor-deposited with aluminum (for example, 5 to 6 layers) is laminated. The thickness is preferably about 80 to 120 μm.

The procedure for packaging the fiber product S, which has been pretreated as described above, in the bag F is as follows, for example.

As shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the textile product S is housed in a bag F.

As shown in FIG. 7B, the textile product S contained in the bag F is placed so as to cover the sensor 12 at a predetermined position of the press table 10.

Based on the detection operation of the sensor 12, the cylinder 16 operates and the press member 14 at the top, which is the home position, descends (see FIG. 8A), and the textile product S is placed in the bag F. Press together. By this pressing, the textile product S becomes flat and the air in the bag F is pushed out to the outside. At this time, the pressing body 32 of the heat sealing portion 18 is still waiting at the predetermined home position (see FIG. 8B).

At the same time when the pressing by the pressing member 14 is completed, an electric current flows through the heater 23 of the heat sealing portion 18 to start heat generation, and the pressing body 32 descends to press the opening side of the bag F to heat it. Sealing is performed (see FIG. 8C), and the inside of the bag F is sealed in a state close to a vacuum. Since the protective net 36 descends as the pressing body 32 descends, the operator-side opening of the textile product packaging apparatus 3 is closed, which is safe.

Simultaneously with the completion of the heat sealing, the cutter 45 runs along the heater 23 to cut the excess portion f of the bag F, and the textile product S is packaged in the bag F as shown in FIG. 7D. The package 7 thus obtained is obtained. At this time, the press member 14 still continues to press the textile product S (see FIG. 7 (C) and FIG. 9 (A)).

When the cutting by the cutter 45 is completed, the pressing body 32 rises together with the protective net 36.
Then, almost simultaneously with this rise, the heater 23 slightly descends (see FIG. 9B). This ensures that the bag F and the heat sealing portion 18 are separated.

Immediately after the pressing body 32 and the like are lifted, the press member 14 is also lifted. At the same time as this rise, press stand 1
Air A is blown out from the plurality of air blowout holes 13 formed in 0. As a result, the package 7 that was in close contact with the surface of the press table 10 floats from the surface, and then,
Sliding down the inclined surface of the press table 10. At this time, the air A is also blown out from the plurality of air blowing holes 25 formed in the auxiliary base portion 24, whereby the upper surface of the heater 23 is cooled (see FIG. 9C).

By repeating the above steps (1) to (5), the textile product S can be packaged in the bag F, and the packaged bag 7 is housed in the container box 8 as shown in FIG. The thus-packaged product 7 has a flatness of, for example, 1/10 of the original thickness of the fiber product S, and is thus convenient for transportation and storage.

According to the above-mentioned textile product packaging device 3, the textile product S can be packaged in the bag F very easily. Further, since the protection net 36 and the photoelectric sensor 49 are provided, it is extremely safe not only for the worker but also for a person other than the worker.

The detection sensor 12 may be of another detection type such as a proximity switch.

[0039]

As described above, according to the method for packaging a textile product according to the present invention, the textile product can be stored in a non-breathable bag in a compressed state to have a compact shape. And since the textile products are housed in a non-breathable bag, they are kept as they are for a long period of time without being eaten by insects or invading moisture, without impairing their quality. For example, it can be stored for about 10 years in the water or soil without maintenance.

Further, in the textile product packaging apparatus according to the present invention, when the bag containing the textile product is placed on the press table, the press member descends to press the bag, and the bag is flattened. To do. Therefore, the operation is extremely simple.
