Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a clothespin used for hanging laundry and a hanger for suspending the clothespin.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 2, a clothespin used for hanging laundry usually comprises a pair of pinching pieces 1 and a spring 2 for fixing the pieces.

[0003] Conventionally, when the laundry is hung between the clothespins, a method of hanging one end of a piece for pinching the clothespin (Fig. 3) or hanging a spring portion (Fig. 4) is used. Have been.

[0004]

In such a method, when the laundry is dried and then removed, the clothespin has a strong fitting force. Therefore, when the laundry is pulled and taken, a strong stress is applied to the laundry. In addition, it causes breakage and deterioration of laundry (clothing).

In order to avoid this, the laundry is usually removed by holding the open end (power point) of the clothespin with hand.

When a large amount of laundry is hung on a hanger, it takes time and effort to remove the laundry by pressing the tips of the individual clothespins one by one.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to eliminate such disadvantages, the present invention provides a method for hanging clothespins which has a strong fitting force when the laundry is being dried, but has a weak fitting force when removing the laundry. A laundry hanger using the same is provided.

In the present invention, the load of the laundry is carried by sharing the power points of both the pair of pinching pieces of the clothespin.

[0009]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings based on examples.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of hanging clothespins according to the present invention. In the drawing, 1 is a pair of pinching pieces, 2 is a spring, 3 is laundry, 4 is a hanging string, and 5 is a hanging string. The power point 6 is the point of action.

In FIG. 1, a hanging string 4 has an inverted Y-shape, so that both of the pinching pieces 1 are connected at or near a power point 5 and the whole of the clothespin is supported at a substantially middle point. It has become.

When the clothespins are hung in this manner, when the clothes 3 are being dried, the force of the spring 2 acts on the action point 6 as it is, so that the clothes are stably fixed.
In the case of removal, when the laundry 3 is pulled downward, the entire clothespin is pulled downward, and the pair of force points 5 are narrowed to each other because the hanging string 4 tries to hold it down against it. .

With this movement, the pair of action points 6 move away from each other.

Therefore, the laundry 3 can be easily removed without being damaged.

Now, in the example where the socks are being dried, the sock after drying of the conventional method of using the clothespin (FIG. 3) and the method of using the clothespin according to the present invention (FIG. 1) are removed. Comparing the required power, the former required 1,050 g, whereas the latter required almost half, 540 g.

Here, the advantages of the present invention are added.
In the above example, the force required for removing the socks can be reduced to 540 g by reducing the force of the spring 2 in the conventional method (FIG. 3 or 4).

However, if the force of the spring 2 is reduced only,
Since the point of application does not open, the sock (laundry) will be removed against the friction of the point of application, leading to surface wear.

On the other hand, in the method according to the present invention, the socks do not wear because the points of action 6 open mutually with the force to pull the socks down.

FIG. 5 shows another hanging example according to the present invention.
In this figure, while pulling one of the power points inward with a string,
In this method, the string is suspended through the hole at the other point of force, and at the same time, a drawing force is generated.

FIG. 6 shows still another embodiment, in which a straight rod 7 which is not deformed is connected by two joints 8 in place of the string of FIG. 1, and free ends of the two rods are respectively sandwiched between clothespins. It is connected to the work piece by a joint 8 'at the point of force.

In this state, the joint portion 8 is connected to the hook 9
The same effect can be obtained if it is hung up.

As an application example, both the hanging method according to the present invention and the conventional hanging method can be selected for individual clothespins, and when heavy objects are dried, the conventional hanging method is used. If the hanging method of the present invention is used only when the lowering method is employed and the removing method is used, falling during drying can be prevented, and the operation at the time of removing can be performed easily.

FIGS. 7 and 8 show specific examples, in which both the conventional suspension method (FIG. 3) and the suspension method (FIG. 1) according to the present invention can be selected with one hanger.

In this example, the frame of the clothes hanger is 2
Are overlapping.

The lower frame 10 is made by a conventional method (FIG. 3).
In each selection scissors are hanging.

The upper frame 11 hangs each selected scissor in the method of the invention (FIG. 1).

FIG. 7 shows a state at the time of drying, and FIG. 8 shows a state of removal.

In the state of drying shown in FIG. 7, the two frames 10 and 11 are in contact with each other. At this time, the length of the hanging string from the upper frame is adjusted so as to slack.

Therefore, even if the laundry dried in this state is heavy, the tip of the clothespin does not open due to its own weight.

FIG. 8 shows a state of the hanger when the laundry is removed.
When the upper hanger in the state of FIG. 7 is pushed in the direction of the arrow, the hanger is lifted up by the
Stops without falling due to

At this time, the upper frame lifts the clothespin, and at the same time, the string of the lower frame is loosened.

When the laundry is pulled down in this state, the laundry can be easily removed.

[0033]

When the laundry is hung on a hanger on which a number of clothespins are hung using the clothespin hanging method according to the present invention, when the laundry is removed from the hanger after drying,
The laundry can be easily removed without scratching by simply pulling it from below. As an application of the method, both the conventional hanging method and the hanging method of the present invention are adopted for one clothespin, and the conventional method is used for drying and the method according to the present invention is used for removing. If you keep it, even heavy laundry will not slip off during drying and can be easily removed after drying.
