Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

Industrial application fields

  The present invention relates to a clothes drying apparatus for drying futons, blankets, clothes, etc. in the sun outside verandas and windows of apartments, condominiums, and detached houses.

There are clothes racks, telescopic poles, various hangers, ropes, etc., in the equipment for drying clothes on the verandas and windows of apartments, condominiums, and detached houses.
They hang futons and blankets on poles and ropes placed on the clothesline, and hang clothes on various hangers and ropes.

Problems to be solved by the invention

Conventional clothes drying equipment for verandas have the following problems.
(1) Since it is installed inside a narrow veranda, it takes up too much space. On a narrow veranda, it would be full just to put a clothesline and hang the futon, so it couldn't be used for gardening or as a playground for pets and children.
(2) When drying large items such as futons and blankets on the verandas of condominiums, etc., they can be dried using a clothes stand and a pole. However, since the clothes stand is placed inside the veranda, the sun goes down and the effect is reduced. Therefore, it was unavoidable that there were many people who hung them down on the veranda fences or concrete walls.
With this method, the effect of drying and sterilization by sunlight is obtained, but futons and the like hit the veranda's fence and wall, and it is easy to get dirty and unclean.
In addition, residents of condominiums and apartments who enjoy gardening and bonsai as their hobbies were forced to live inconveniently because they had to move many flower pots to the inside of the veranda every time they drove their futons and blankets.
{Circle around (3)} As described above, if a futon or blanket is hung and dried on the balcony or wall of the veranda, the handrails on the veranda cannot be used.
Similarly, when a futon or clothing is hung by putting a rope on the outside of an apartment window, the room becomes dark and the scenery outside the window cannot be seen, which is extremely inconvenient. (When there is no veranda)
▲ 4 The everyday scene in Japan, where many futons and blankets are laid out from the railings and walls of luxury condominiums and apartments on a sunny day, is loose and ugly, and there is room for improvement. is there.

Means for solving the problem

The present invention has been devised in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and is characterized in that a rotary clothes drying device is provided outside a fence or a wall of a veranda as shown in FIG.
Its configuration is
(1) The rotary support 2 is provided in the hollow support 1.
(2) The hollow support column 1 is fixed to the outside of the balcony or wall of the veranda by the fixing bracket 3.
(3) The rotary column 2 is lifted horizontally and fixed by the hollow column support 1, and the clothes drying pole 7 is put into the pole insertion hole 5 formed in the rotary column 2 and fixed.
A rotating veranda pole constructed as described above.

Action

With the above configuration, you can dry futons and clothes without taking up space in the veranda, and there is less concern about futons and blankets getting dirty on the veranda's fences and walls. Can be used freely even if many futons and clothes are hung on the pole for clothesline.
Further, if the present invention is attached to the side wall or the lower wall on both sides of the window, the lighting and field of view of the window are not obstructed even if the futon or clothing is dried.

See FIG. 1 and FIG. The present invention is attached to a fence or wall of a veranda such as an apartment, a condominium, or a detached house using the fixing bracket 3. The mounting method is a general screw type, and a concrete or mortar wall is drilled with an electric drill or the like and attached with screws. Other existing attachment methods may be used.
The clothes-pick 7 can be removed and shrunk when not in use and stored in one corner of the veranda or in the room. The length of the clothes-drying pole 7 is slightly longer than the interval between the two rotary columns 2 attached. If two futons are dried on a single pole, about 2.8 m is required, but several types may be prepared depending on the installation width of the present invention on a veranda or a window. Telescopic type is desirable.

As shown in FIG. 1, when the present invention is not used, the rotary support 2 is rotated downward and stored parallel to the veranda fence or wall. When used, the rotary column 2 is lifted up and leveled, moved in the hollow column support 1 a little to the side and fixed in a horizontal position, and the fastener 4 is lowered and fastened. The rotary support 2 is prevented from sliding down due to strong winds or the like.
This operation is performed twice, and the two rotary struts 2 at both ends are fixed at a substantially horizontal position.
Next, the pole 7 for drying clothes is taken out, extended to the length to be used, and inserted into the pole insertion hole 5 and fixed. If it does so, it will become like FIG. 2, and all that is left is to dry a futon, clothes, etc. on the pole 7 for clothes drying. Commercially available clips and hangers that prevent futons and clothing from falling off due to wind or the like may be used. If you want to dry a lot of futons and blankets, you can use one more laundry pole 7.
In addition, since the present invention is attached to the outside of a veranda or a window, the material of the device is a certain strength, light weight, rust resistant and highly weather-resistant material such as stainless steel, aluminum, synthetic resin, wood, etc. Need to build. A plurality of pole insertion holes 5 may be formed in the rotary column 2, but usually two to three are desirable.
The length of the rotary support 2 varies depending on the number of the pole insertion holes 5 opened and the amount of futons and clothes to be dried. Usually, about 40 cm to about 1 m is appropriate, and several types may be manufactured. . (Must be smaller than the height of the veranda fence or railing wall.)

  When the futon, clothing, etc. have been dried and taken into the room, the clothes-drying pole 7 is removed from the pole insertion hole 5 and contracted and stored in an arbitrary place. Then, the fastener 4 is removed upward, the horizontal rotary column 2 is slightly shifted to the side, rotated downward, and stored parallel to the veranda fence 6 as shown in FIG. If it carries out like this, this invention will become inconspicuous, integrated with the fence 6 of a veranda, and will not become obstructive at all.

The explanation of claim 2 will be described. In the present invention, the fixing bracket 3 is basically used to attach with screws. However, other existing attachment methods may be used.
FIG. 3 shows an example in which the veranda fence 6 and the hollow column support 1 are integrated as parts. In this way, the strength of the hollow column support 1 is increased, and there is no possibility that the screws of the metal fittings loosen and fall off. In addition, since it is integrated with the balcony of the veranda, it looks good. In addition, it is certain that this will increase the production efficiency in the factory.
8, 9, and 10, the column support and the rotary column 2 may be integrated with the fence 6 of the veranda.

The explanation of claim 3 will be described. See FIG. In this apparatus, the outer shape of the hollow column support 1 is changed from a circle to a square. This can be expected to increase the strength. In addition, when the veranda fence 6 and the hollow column support 1 are integrated as parts, there is an advantage that they can be easily manufactured in a factory.
In addition, considering the design, not only a circle but also a variety of shapes, such as a rectangle and a polygon, have a variety of aesthetics that will please users.

The explanation of claim 4 will be described. FIGS. 4, 5, and 6 are provided for explaining the apparatus for preventing the clothes-drying pole 7 from falling off.
(1) See FIGS. 4 and 5. A pole fixing dial 9 is provided outside the pole insertion hole 5 of the rotary column 2 in order to prevent the clothes-drying pole 7 from falling off due to a strong wind or the like. After putting the pole 7 for clothes drying in the pole insertion hole 5 and turning the dial of the dial 9 for fixing the pole, the pole 7 for clothes drying is tightened (or receives pressure) and does not easily fall off.
(2) See FIGS. 4 and 5. A method in which threads are provided at both ends of the clothes-drying pole 7 and the pole fixing cap 10 is turned and covered. After putting the clothes drying pole 7 in the pole insertion hole 5, the pole fixing cap 10 covers the both ends of the clothes hanging pole 7. In this way, there is almost no possibility that the clothes-drying pole 7 will fall off the rotary support column 2.

(3) See FIG. A method in which pole fixing caps (made of rubber) 11 are put on both ends of the clothes drying pole 7 and the lid is covered. After putting the clothes-drying pole 7 into the pole insertion hole 5, both ends of the clothes-drying pole 7 are covered with a pole fixing cap (made of rubber) 11. In this way, like the above-described pole fixing cap 10, the clothes-removing pole 7 is hardly dropped from the rotary support 2. In this case, both ends of the clothes-drying pole 7 need to be inclined so that the rubber lid can easily enter and is not easily removed.
(4) See FIG. A pole fixing film 12 made of rubber or synthetic resin is provided inside the pole insertion hole 5. When the clothes-drying pole 7 is inserted into the pole insertion hole 5, the pole fixing film 12 is subjected to friction and pressure and is difficult to come off.
If one or two of the four drop-off prevention devices are attached to the present invention, a sufficient effect can be obtained. It is not necessary to attach everything.
In addition to the above, using a chain, rope, magic tape, etc., the hanging pole 7 can be fixed to the rotary column 2 or a small hole can be made at both ends of the hanging pole 7 to pin it from above. Since there are existing methods such as inserting and fixing, one of them may be selected and mounted.

The explanation of claim 5 will be described. See FIG. When the rotary support 2 is used, it is basically used at a horizontal angle, but may be used at a slightly lower angle than the horizontal. In that case, the angle adjusting device 8 is provided on the hollow column support 1.
The angle of the rotary column 2 is adjusted by changing the height and angle of the portion where the hollow column support 1 supports the rotary column 2. In the case of FIG. 3, if the rotary column 2 is lifted and slightly shifted to the left and fixed with the fastener 4, it can be used at an almost horizontal angle, and if it is slightly shifted to the right and fixed with the fastener 4, It can be used by tilting downward about 20 degrees.
When the rotary column 2 is lowered from the horizontal, when two or more clothes-drying poles 7 are put on the rotary column 2 and used in a horizontal position, compared to when using the horizontal pole 7 There is an effect that sunlight and ventilation become a little better.
In each of the clothes drying apparatuses shown in FIGS. 8, 9 and 10, the angle adjusting device can be similarly attached.

The explanation of claim 6 will be described. See FIG. Instead of the pole insertion hole 5 opened in the rotary column 2, a pole fixing device 13 for supporting and fixing the pole is provided on the upper portion of the rotary column 2. The material is preferably a fixing bracket or a material made of a synthetic resin which is not easily broken.
The clothes drying pole 7 can be used simply by placing it on the pole fixing device 13 on the upper side of the rotary support column 2 and pressing it a little. Since the pole fixing device 13 compresses the pole a little by the action of a spring, the clothes drying pole 7 does not fall off easily.
A chain, a rubber belt, a velcro tape, or the like may be used as a device for preventing the clothes-drying pole 7 from falling off. If the clothes drying pole 7 is fixed to the rotary column 2 using these, there is almost no possibility that the pole will fall off even in a strong wind.

The explanation of claim 7 will be described. See FIG. The hollow column support 1 is eliminated, and a column support 14 is provided instead. The rotary column 2 is operated by rotating it in the horizontal direction (horizontal direction) instead of the vertical direction.
The rotary support 2 stored in parallel with the balcony 6 of the veranda is rotated about 90 degrees in the lateral direction and placed on the support 14 and fixed by the fastener 4 so as not to drop off. This fixing method may be another existing method such as a rubber belt, a chain or a lever.
The other usage is almost the same as the clothes drying apparatus of FIG. 1 and FIG.
Functionally, it is almost the same as the clothes drying apparatus of claim 1, but has the advantage that the operation is a little easier because the rotary column 2 is moved and used in the lateral direction. It seems to be easy to use especially for children and small people.

The explanation of claim 8 will be described. See FIG. This is a device in which the hollow column support 1 is eliminated and an extrusion type column support 15 is provided instead.
The rotary column 2 is rotated upward and lifted to near horizontal, the extrusion column support 15 is pushed forward, and the rotary column 2 is placed thereon and fixed by the fastener 4 and the hook 16 so as not to fall off. This fixing method may be another existing method such as a rubber belt, a chain or a lever.
The other usage is almost the same as the clothes drying apparatus of FIG. 1 and FIG.
Functionally, it is almost the same as the clothes drying apparatus of claim 1, but when it is produced in a factory because the structure is simple, it seems that the production cost can be slightly reduced compared with the clothes drying apparatus of claim 1 It is.

The explanation of claim 9 will be described. See FIG. This is a device in which the hollow column support 1 is eliminated and a rotary column support 17 is provided instead.
The rotary column 2 is rotated upward and lifted to near horizontal, the rotary column support 17 is rotated about 90 degrees horizontally, and the rotary column 2 is placed thereon, so that it does not fall off by the fastener 4 and the hook 16. To fix. This fixing method may be another existing method such as a rubber belt, a chain or a lever.
The other usage is almost the same as the clothes drying apparatus of FIG. 1 and FIG.
Functionally, it is almost the same as the clothes drying apparatus of claim 1. Although this may have a higher number of parts and higher production costs, it has the appeal of being interesting to operate.
