According to the present invention, a highly safe dry cleaner is provided, which ensures safety without the danger of ignition in a drying process even if so-called microcomputer runaway occurs. The dry cleaner includes a relay sequence controlling circuit (71). The relay sequence controlling circuit (71) includes a serial connection of a first valve (V27) to be controlled, a first switch (77) which controls the turn-on of the first valve (V27) and a second contact (76a) provided in a second relay (76). A detection circuit (79) which controls the second contact (76a) is connected to the serial connection. Thus, the first valve (V27) is maintained in an inactive state irrespective of a first switch turn-on control performed by a control section (81) until the detection circuit (79) performs a predetermined operation to turn on the second contact 76a.

A laundry apparatus according to the present invention is capable of stably regulating a laundry drying temperature without reduction in the service life of a valve which regulates the amount of steam to be supplied to heating unit. In the laundry apparatus, a first steam supply passage (24a) having a relatively great passage diameter and a second steam supply passage (24b) having a relatively small passage diameter are provided independently of each other. Thus, a relatively great amount of steam is supplied from the first steam supply passage (24a) to a drying heater (13) with a first valve (V27) being opened, and a relatively small amount of steam is supplied to the drying heater (13) with a second valve (V28) being opened. By selectively using the first valve (V27) and the second valve (V28), the opening/closing frequencies of these valves are reduced. This makes it possible to stably regulate the laundry drying temperature while preventing reduction in the service lives of these valves.

A bathing aid is designed to reduce the workload on the caregiver in bathing the physically challenged, elderly or similar persons requiring nursing care. The bathing aid is provided with an upward-opening cover for covering the open top of the bathtub except for an opening for allowing the bather to stick their head through. The cover is supported by arms urged upward by gas springs. The upward-opening cover allows the caregiver to stand whichever side of the bathtub and opens or closes the cover without difficulty. Furthermore, the cover's upward-opening structure is advantageous for reducing the installation space because it does not require the additional side space that would be necessary if the cover is constructed to open sideward.

There are disclosed a heat pump device and a drying machine using the device in which abnormal water supplying into a water-cooling heat exchanger for use in water-cooling of a heat pump can be easily detected without disposing any water amount gauge particularly. The heat pump device comprises: a water-cooling heat exchanger 13 for taking heat of a refrigerant which enters a capillary tube 10; a water amount adjusting valve 15 for adjusting the amount of cooling water to be supplied to the water-cooling heat exchanger 13; a temperature sensor 25, 26, or 27 for detecting temperature of the cooling water in the water-cooling heat exchanger 13 or temperature of the refrigerant passed through the water-cooling heat exchanger; and a control unit 20 for controlling the water amount adjusting valve 15, and the control unit judges abnormal water supplying into the water-cooling heat exchanger 13 in accordance with the controlling state of the water amount adjusting valve 15 and a change of the temperature detected by the temperature sensor under the controlling state.

In the dry clearing machine, a common refrigerator is used for both the solvent cooler and the drying cooler, and the coolant compressed and liquefied in the refrigerator is supplied either one of the heat exchanger of the solvent cooler or that of the drying cooler, depending on the state of a switch. In the heat exchanger selected by the switch, the coolant is supplied and the solvent or the air is cooled when the coolant evaporates. That is, only the cooler selected by the switch works, but the other cooler not selected by the switch does not work. While the laundry is washed, normally, it is not necessary to supply air to the outer tub through the air path, and the drying cooler need not be operated. Thus, in the process of washing, the solvent is adequately cooled because an enough amount of coolant is supplied to the solvent cooler, and the temperature rise of the solvent is prevented.

In a spin extractor, an eccentric load judging unit judges the magnitude of the eccentric load based on the amplitude of fluctuations in the motor current while a drum is rotated at a speed at which the centrifugal force on fabric articles contained in the drum is a little larger than the gravity. If the magnitude of the eccentric load detected is larger than predetermined, a balance correcting operation is conducted by a speed control unit. That is, a speed reducing position designating unit sends a pulse signal to the speed control unit at the moment when the eccentric load of the drum comes just before the highest position, in response to which the speed of the drum is reduced momentarily. When the speed is reduced, the centrifugal force is smaller than the gravity, so that the fabric articles crammed and piled fall off the inner peripheral wall of the drum. Thus the fabric articles can be scattered almost evenly.

The invention relates to a spin extractor for extracting liquid from wet laundry by rotating a drum with the laundry contained therein at high speed about a horizontal axis. In an inventive spin extractor, while an operation controller controls the speed of the drum so that the laundry is slightly pressed on the inner peripheral wall of the drum by centrifugal force and rotates with the drum, a position detector detects the position of an eccentric load due to the laundry as a first position. Then, the speed of the drum is raised to a second speed for weak extraction, which is lower than a predetermined maximum speed for extraction, and the position detector detects the position of the eccentric load as a second position. A quality determiner checks the displacement of the second position from the first position to determine the uniformity in extraction quality of the articles, where the extraction quality of an article represents how easily liquid is extracted therefrom. When the uniformity in the extraction quality is low, the weights of the articles decrease unevenly through the weak extraction, which causes a change in the position of the eccentric load. So, when, the displacement of the position is greater than a preset value, the operation controller sets an extraction speed lower than the maximum speed, and rotates the drum at the extraction speed during the extraction, whereby abnormal vibration is avoided.

A measuring part 67 measures the potential of a collecting electrode 66 having collected positive and negative ions respectively generated by ion generating parts 61 of ion generators 6a and 6b and ion generating parts 62 of ion generators 6c and 6d. In the judgment of the presence or absence of ions, the ion generators 6a and 6b and the ion generators 6c and 6d are alternately turned ON/OFF. In ion judgment 1, ON/OFF is performed 6 times with a period of 10 seconds. In ion judgment 2, ON/OFF is performed 10 times with a period of 1 second. Then, when the difference (the amount of change) between the maximum value and the minimum value of the output voltage of the measuring part 67 is greater than a given threshold value, the presence of ions is concluded respectively.

A holding case that holds an air blower and a mount having an air blowing duct are provided in a body case. A cushioning member is provided on an outer surface of a fan casing of the air blower. The air blower is held between the holding case mounted to the body case and the mount as a part of the body case. Two mounting members are formed on the fan casing. One mounting member is held between a pair of regulating members and formed on the holding case. The other mounting member is held between regulating members and formed on the holding case and the mount, respectively.
