【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、例えば折り畳み可能な矩形状の本体枠を有する折り畳み式物干器に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
折り畳み式の物干器としては、下記特許文献１、２に示すように、中間部を支点に２つ折りの状態に折り畳み可能な矩形状の枠本体が、チェーンやワイヤー等を介して吊手に吊持されるようにしたものが周知である。
【０００３】
このような折り畳み式物干器は、枠本体が、対向する端縁が枢着されて互いに開閉自在な一対の枠体により構成されており、各枠体の下面側にチェーン等のピンチ吊持部材を介して複数のピンチが吊持されている。そして、使用持には、吊手を物干竿等に係止して、枠本体を開いて水平に配置した状態で、各ピンチに洗濯物等を挟持させる一方、不使用時には、洗濯物を取り外した状態で、枠本体を２つ折りに折り畳んでコンパクトに収納できるよう構成されている。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、上記従来の折り畳み式物干器では、枠本体を２つ折りに折り畳んだ際に、一対の枠体間において、ピンチ、ピンチ吊持部材及び枠体等が干渉して、枠本体をコンパクトに折り畳むことができず、嵩張って収納や保管を効率良く行えないばかりか、外観体裁が悪くなるという問題を抱えている。
【０００７】
更に物干器を折り畳んだ際に、一対の枠体間において、ピンチや、ピンチ吊持用のチェーン等が絡み付いて係止することがあり、そうなると、使用時に物干器をスムーズに開くことができないという問題も発生する。
【０００８】
この発明は、上記従来技術の問題を解消し、枠本体をコンパクトに折り畳むことができて、良好な外観体裁を確保しつつ、嵩張らず効率良く収納保管できる上更に、枠本体を折り畳み状態から開く際に、ピンチやピンチ吊持部材等の絡み付きを防止できて、スムーズに開くことができる折り畳み式物干器を提供することを目的とする。
【０００９】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するため、本第１発明の折り畳み式物干器は、対向する端縁が回転自在に連結された一対の枠体を有し、両枠体が連結部を支点に回転されることにより開閉自在に構成された本体枠と、一端が前記本体枠に取り付けられて、その一端を支点に揺動自在な複数のピンチ吊持部材と、前記複数のピンチ吊持部材の他端に取り付けられる複数のピンチとを備え、前記ピンチ吊持部材を、前記本体枠の開閉方向に沿って揺動させるための揺動方向誘導手段が設けられ、前記本体枠を開いた状態においては、前記ピンチ吊持部材が、前記本体枠に対し垂直に配置されるとともに、その状態から前記本体枠を閉じた際に、前記ピンチ吊持部材が、前記揺動方向誘導手段によって、前記本体枠の開閉方向に沿って外側に揺動されるよう構成されてなるものを要旨としている。
【００１０】
この第１発明の折り畳み式物干器においては、本体枠を折り畳む際に、ピンチ吊持部材が、揺動方向誘導手段によって、本体枠の開閉方向に沿って外側に揺動するため、複数のピンチ吊持部材及び複数のピンチが、ばらけることなく、枠体に沿って整然と配列される。このため、本体枠をコンパクトな状態に折り畳むことができ、収納や保管を効率良く行うことができる上、良好な外嵌体裁を得ることができる。
【００１１】
更に本体枠を折り畳んだ状態において、複数のピンチ吊持部材及び複数のピンチが整列されているため、ピンチ吊持部材やピンチの絡み付きが防止される。このため、本体枠を開く際に、一対の枠体間において、ピンチ吊持部材やピンチがスムーズに離別し、本体枠の開き操作を不具合なく容易に行うことができる。
【００１２】
この第１発明にいては、全てのピンチ吊持部材が、前記揺動方向誘導手段によって、前記本体枠の開閉方向に沿って外側に揺動されるよう構成されてなるものを採用するのが好ましい。
【００１３】
更に本第１発明においては、本体枠を閉じる際に、前記ピンチ吊持部材が、自重によって、本体枠の開閉方向に沿って外側に揺動されるように構成するのが良い。
【００１４】
また本第１発明においては、例えば以下の第２発明のように、揺動方向誘導手段をピンチ吊持部材の上端部に設けるのが好ましい。
【００１５】

【００１６】
更に本第１発明においては、ピンチ吊持部材が揺動し得る全ての範囲内で、前記揺動方向誘導手段によって、ピンチ吊持部材の揺動方向を誘導ないしはガイドできるよう構成するのが好ましい。
【００１７】
すなわちこの構成を採用する場合には、本体枠を折り畳み始めた直後から、ピンチ吊持部材がピンチと共に、所定の方向（本体枠開閉方向）外側に揺動するため、本体枠を折り畳んだ際に、ピンチ吊持部材やピンチがばらついて配置されるのを、より確実に防止することができる。

【００２３】

【００４９】
【発明の実施の形態】
＜第１実施形態＞
図１はこの発明の第１実施形態である折り畳み式物干器を示す斜視図、図２はその物干器を開いた状態で示す正面断面図、図３は閉じた状態で示す正面断面図である。なお、以下の説明においては、発明の理解を容易にするため、図２の紙面に対し垂直な方向を「前後方向」とし、図２に向かって「上下方向」及び「左右方向」をそれぞれ「上下方向」及び「左右方向」として説明する。
【００５０】
これらの図に示すように、この物干器は、合成樹脂製の本体枠（１０）と、針金等の金属からなる一対の吊下げワイヤー（２０）と、合成樹脂製の吊手（３０）と、複数のピンチ（４０）とを基本的な構成要素として備えている。
【００５１】
本体枠（１０）は、対向する一端縁同士が連結部材（１６）を介して回転自在に連結された一対の枠体（１１）（１１）を有しており、一方の枠体（１１）を他方の枠体（１１）に対し回転させて、両枠体（１１）（１１）を重ね合わせることにより、本体枠（１０）を中間を折曲位置として２つ折りの状態に折り畳めるとともに、一方の枠体（１１）を他方の枠体（１１）に対し開くことにより、両枠体（１１）（１１）を同一平面内に配置できるよう構成されている。
【００５２】
各枠体（１１）は、外枠と、その外枠の枠内に前後及び左右方向に沿って架け渡されるように一体形成された枠内架橋片とを有している。
【００５３】
外枠は、その前後に左右方向に沿って配置される外枠前後片（１２ａ）（１２ａ）と、その外枠前後片（１２ａ）（１２ａ）の他端部間（外側端部間）に架け渡される外枠側端片（１２ｂ）とを有する平面視Ｕ字状に形成されている。
【００５４】
また枠内架橋片は、外枠前後片（１２ａ）（１２ａ）間に前後方向に沿って架橋される前後架橋片（１３ｂ）と、これらの前後架橋片（１３ｂ）及び外枠側端片（１２ｂ）間に架け渡される左右架橋片（１３ａ）とを有している。
【００５５】
なお、枠体（１１）を構成する各片（１２ａ）（１２ｂ）（１３ａ）（１３ｂ）は、本体枠（１０）を開いて水平に配置した状態において、逆Ｕ字状の断面形状を有している。
【００５６】
一対の吊下げワイヤー（２０）は、略Ｖ字状にそれぞれ形成されるものであり、両側片先端が、各枠体（１１）の前後両側端部における外周枠の内側に、前後方向の軸心回りに回転自在に連結される。
【００５７】
吊手（３０）は、開閉自在な一対の挟持部材（３１）（３１）を有している。この挟持部材（３１）（３１）は、常時は付勢手段により閉じ合わせ方向に付勢されており、所定の操作によって開放できるよう構成されている。
【００５８】
また吊手（３０）の下端部両側には、ワイヤージョイント（３５）（３５）の一端側が、前後方向の軸心回りに回転自在に取り付けられて、ワイヤージョイント（３５）が、その一端側を支点に他端側が上下方向に揺動自在に構成されている。
【００５９】
更にワイヤージョイント（３５）（３５）の他端側には、上記吊下げワイヤー（２０）（２０）の折り返し端部が、前後方向の軸心回りに回転自在に、かつワイヤージョイント（３５）（３５）の長さ方向に沿ってスライド自在に取り付けられている。
【００６０】
図２及び図４に示すように、枠体（１１）の前後架橋片（１３ｂ）における両側外面のうち、各枠体（１１）に対し、外側方（他端側）に向く面には、外側方に突出するようにして複数の取付片（６１）が一体に形成されている。各取付片（６１）には、一対の枠体（１１）（１１）の開閉時における回転軸心と平行に配置されて、前後方向に延びる支持軸（６２）を有している。
【００６１】
また図２及び図５に示すように、枠体（１１）の外枠側端片（１２ｂ）における内部天井壁には、下方に突出するようにして複数の取付片（６１）が一体に形成されている。各取付片（６１）には、上記と同様、一対の枠体（１１）（１１）の開閉時における軸心と平行に配置されて、前後方向に延びる支持軸（６２）を有している。更に外枠側端片（１２ｂ）の両側壁には、取付片（６１）に位置的に対応して、後述するピンチ吊持部材（５０）の揺動持における干渉を防止するためのスリット（１２ｃ）が上下方向に延びるよう形成されている。
【００６２】
ピンチ（４０）を吊り下げるためのピンチ吊持部材（５０）は、棒状の合成樹脂成形品からなり、所定の剛性及び形態維持性を有し、チェーンや紐等と比較して、曲がり変形等が少ない材質によって構成されている。
【００６３】
このピンチ吊持部材（５０）には、上端にリング部（５１）が形成されるとともに、中間部から下端にかけて、上下方向に延びる長孔（５２）が形成されている。
【００６４】
そしてピンチ（４０）のリング状ばね（４１）が、ピンチ吊持部材（５０）の長孔（５２）内に挿通配置されることにより、ピンチ（４０）が、吊持部材（５０）に対し、周囲ほぼ四方向に揺動自在に取り付けられる。
【００６５】
またピンチ吊持部材（５０）の上端リング部（５１）が、上記枠体（１１）のにおける各取付片（６１）の支持軸（６２）に外嵌状態に取り付けられる。これにより、ピンチ吊持部材（５０）の上端部が、取付片（６１）の支持軸（６２）の軸心回りに回転自在に取り付けられて、ピンチ吊持部材（５０）が、ピンチ（４０）と共に、支持軸（６２）を支点として、揺動自在に構成されている。
【００６６】
ここで、ピンチ吊持部材（５０）は、前後方向に延びる支持軸（６２）に回転自在に取り付けられているため、ピンチ吊持部材（５０）は、支持軸（６２）の軸心回り方向（本体枠（１０）の開閉方向に沿った方向）に揺動し易くなっている。つまり、支持軸（６２）は、ピンチ吊持部材（５０）の揺動方向を、本体枠（１０）の開閉方向に沿った方向に誘導するための揺動方向誘導手段として構成されている。
【００６７】
なお、外枠側端片（１２ｂ）に取り付けられるピンチ吊持部材（５０）は、その揺動持にスリット（１２ｃ）内を挿通することにより、ピンチ吊持部材（５０）が外枠側端片（１２ｂ）の両側壁に干渉するのが防止されるよう構成されている。
【００６８】
また、本実施形態において、本体枠（１０）に対し垂直に配置されたピンチ吊持部材（５０）における本体枠開閉方向（左右方向）外側への揺動許容角度（θ）は、９０°以上、好ましくは９５°以上に設定するのが良い。すなわちこの角度（θ）が小さ過ぎる場合には、本体枠（１０）を閉じた際に、ピンチ吊持部材（５０）やピンチ（４０）が干渉したり絡み付いたりして、本体枠（１０）の折り畳みを確実に行えなくなったり、本体枠（１０）をスムーズに開くことが困難になる恐れがある。
【００６９】
以上の構成の折り畳み式物干器を使用する場合には、図１及び図２に示すように、本体枠（１０）を開いた状態で、吊手（３０）の挟持部材（３１）（３１）を物干竿等に挟持させて、本体枠（１０）を吊下げワイヤー（２０）（２０）及び吊手（３０）を介して物干竿等に吊持する。この状態においては、本体枠（１０）が水平に配置されるとともに、各ピンチ吊持部材（５０）及び各ピンチ（４０）が垂れ下がるように垂直に配置される。従って、適当なピンチ（４０）に洗濯物を挟持させて吊り下げることができる。
【００７０】
また洗濯物を取り外して、折り畳み式物干器を収納する場合には、図３に示すように、一対の枠体（１１）（１１）を共に下方に揺動させるように本体枠（１０）を折り畳み、一対の枠体（１１）（１１）を重ね合わせる。この折り畳み持においては、各ピンチ吊持部材（５０）は、本体枠開閉方向に沿って外側に正確に揺動される。しかも、各ピンチ吊持部材（５０）は、本体枠（１０）に対し垂直状態から外側へ９０°以上揺動されるとともに、各ピンチ吊持部材（５０）の上端部が、枠体（１１）における外側に向いた面に取り付けられているため、各ピンチ吊持部材（５０）及び各ピンチ（４０）が、各枠体（１１）に対し、平行に配置されるとともに、各ピンチ吊持部材（５０）及び各ピンチ（４０）が枠体（１１）の枠内に配置される。従って、一対の枠体（１１）（１１）を互いに接合させた状態に配置できると同時に、ピンチ吊持部材（５０）やピンチ（４０）を整然と配置できて、これらが絡み付くのを有効に防止することができる。
【００７１】
なおこの折り畳み時には、外枠側端片（１２ｂ）に取り付けられるピンチ吊持部材（５０）は、外枠側端片（１２ｂ）のスリット（１２ｃ）を介して、外枠側端片（１２ｂ）の下方位置に配置されるため、一対の枠体（１１）（１１）が接合するのが妨げられることはなく、ピンチ吊持部材（５０）やピンチ（４０）の絡み付きも確実に防止される。
【００７２】
このように一対の枠体（１１）（１１）が隙間なく接合した状態で重なり合うため、嵩張らずコンパクトな状態に折り畳むことができ、効率良く収納することができる上更に、良好な外嵌体裁を得ることができ、商品価値を一段と向上させることができる。
【００７３】
また本体枠（１０）が折り畳まれた状態において、ピンチ吊持部材（５０）やピンチ（４０）が整列されて絡み付きが防止されるため、本体枠（１０）を開く際に、一対の枠体（１１）（１１）間において、ピンチ吊持部材（５０）やピンチ（４０）がスムーズに離別し、本体枠（１０）の開き操作を不具合なく容易に行うことができる。

＜第２実施形態＞
図６ないし図１０はこの発明の第２実施形態である折り畳み式物干器を示す図である。これらの図に示すように、この折り畳み式物干器は、アルミニウム（その合金を含む）等の金属製パイプを主構成とする本体枠（１１０）と、針金等の金属からなる一対の吊下げワイヤー（１２０）と、アルミニウム等の金属製の吊手（１３０）と、複数のピンチ（１４０）とを基本的な構成要素として備えている。
【００７５】
本体枠（１１０）は、一対の枠体（１１１）（１１１）を有している。各枠体（１１１）は、Ｕ字状に曲げ成形されたアルミニウム等の金属パイプからなる外枠と、その外枠における前後片（１１２ａ）（１１２ａ）の先端（一端）間に、合成樹脂製のパイプジョイント（１１５）を介して架け渡されるように取り付けられ、かつアルミニウム等の金属パイプからなる架橋片（１１３ｂ）とを有している。
【００７６】
これらの一方の枠体（１１１）における前後両ジョイントパイプ（１１５）（１１５）が、前後の連結部材（１１６）の一側部に回転自在に連結されるとともに、他方の枠体（１１１）における前後両ジョイントパイプ（１１５）（１１５）が、前後の連結部材（１１６）の他側部に回転自在に連結される。これにより、各枠体（１１１）が、連結部材（１１６）の両側部をそれぞれ支点にして、水平状態と、下方に垂下した垂直状態との間で揺動自在に構成される。そして両枠体（１１１）（１１１）を両側方に開くように揺動させた際には、両枠体（１１１）（１１１）が同一平面内に配置されるとともに、両枠体（１１１）（１１１）を閉じるように下方に揺動させた際には、両枠体（１１１）（１１１）が間隔をおいて並列に配置されるよう構成されている。
【００７７】
また本体枠（１１１）のピンチ取付位置には、それぞれ合成樹脂製の取付パイプ（１６０）が外嵌状態に固定されている。取付パイプ（１６０）のうち、外枠前後片（１１２ａ）（１１２ａ）に設けられる取付パイプ（１６０）には、本体枠（１１０）を開いて水平に配置した状態において、下方に突出するように取付片（１６１）が一体に形成されている。この取付片（１６１）には、枠体（１１１）の開閉時における軸心と平行に配置されて、前後方向に延びる支持軸（１６２）が設けられている。
【００７８】
また取付パイプ（１６０）のうち、外枠側端片（１１２ｂ）及び架橋片（１１３ｂ）に設けられる取付パイプ（１６０）には、本体枠（１１０）を開いて水平に配置した状態において、両側方に突出するように取付片（１６１）が一体に形成されている。この取付片（１６１）には、上記と同様、枠体（１１１）の開閉時における軸心と平行に配置されて、前後方向に延びる支持軸（１６２）が設けられている。
【００７９】
一対の吊下げワイヤー（１２０）は、略Ｖ字状にそれぞれ形成されるものであり、両側片先端が、各枠体（１１１）の両側端部に配置された取付パイプ（１６０）に、前後方向の軸心回りに回転自在に連結される。
【００８０】
また、吊手（１３０）は、合成樹脂の成形品からなる基体（１３５）と、アルミニウム等の金属棒からなるフック部材（１３１）とを有し、フック部材（１３１）の下端が、基体（１３１）に揺動自在に取り付けられている。
【００８１】
更に基体（１３５）には、両側部に左右方向に延びる長孔（１３５ａ）（１３５ａ）がそれぞれ形成されており、両長孔（１３５ａ）（１３５ａ）に、上記の両吊下げワイヤー（１２０）の折り返し端部が、前後方向の軸心回りに回転自在に、かつ長孔（１３５ａ）（１３５ａ）の長さ方向に沿ってスライド自在に取り付けられている。
【００８２】
ピンチ（１４０）を吊り下げるためのピンチ吊持部材（１５０）は、合成樹脂の一体成形品からなり、所定の剛性及び形態維持性を有し、チェーンや紐等と比較して、曲がり変形等の少ない材質によって形成されている。
【００８３】
このピンチ吊持部材（１５０）には、上端及び下端にリング部（１５１）（１５２）が形成されている。
【００８４】
そして、ピンチ（１４０）のリング状ばね（１４１）が、ピンチ吊持部材（１５０）の下端リング部（１６２）に挿通配置されることにより、ピンチ（１４０）が、吊持部材（１５０）に対し、周囲ほぼ四方向に揺動自在に取り付けられる。
【００８５】
またピンチ吊持部材（１５０）の上端リング部（１５１）が、上記枠体（１１１）に外嵌固定された各取付パイプ（１６０）における取付片（１６１）の支持軸（１６２）に外嵌状態に取り付けられる。これによりピンチ吊持部材（１５０）の上端部が、取付片（１６１）の軸心回りに回転自在に取り付けられて、ピンチ吊持部材（１５０）が、ピンチ（１４０）と共に、支持軸（１６２）を支点として、揺動自在に構成されている。
【００８６】
ここで、ピンチ吊持部材（１５０）は、前後方向に延びる支持軸（１６２）に回転自在に取り付けられているため、ピンチ吊持部材（１５０）は、支持軸（１６２）の軸心回り方向（本体枠（１０）の開閉方向に沿った方向）に揺動し易くなっている。つまり、支持軸（１６２）は、ピンチ吊持部材（１５０）の揺動方向を、本体枠（１１０）の開閉方向に沿った方向に誘導するための揺動方向誘導手段として構成されている。
【００８７】
なお図９及び図１０に示すように、本実施形態において、ピンチ吊持部材（１５０）が本体枠（１１０）に対し垂直に配置された状態から外側への揺動許容角度（θ）は、９０°以上、好ましくは９５°以上に設定するのが好ましい。すなわちこの角度（θ）が小さ過ぎる場合には、本体枠（１１０）を閉じた際に、ピンチ吊持部材（１５０）やピンチ（１４０）が干渉したり絡み付いたりして、本体枠（１１０）の折り畳みを確実に行えなくなったり、本体枠（１１０）をスムーズに開くことが困難になる恐れがある。
【００８８】
以上の構成の折り畳み式物干器を使用する場合には、図６及び図７に示すように、本体枠（１１０）を開いた状態で、吊手（１３０）のフック（１３１）を物干竿等に引っ掛けて、本体枠（１１０）を吊下げワイヤー（１２０）（１２０）及び吊手（１３０）を介して物干竿等に吊持する。この状態においては、本体枠（１１０）が水平に配置されるとともに、各ピンチ吊持部材（１５０）及び各ピンチ（１４０）が垂れ下がるように垂直に配置される。従って、適当なピンチ（１４０）に洗濯物を挟持させて吊り下げることができる。
【００８９】
また洗濯物を取り外して、折り畳み式物干器を収納する場合には、図８に示すように、一対の枠体（１１１）（１１１）を共に下方に揺動させるように本体枠（１１０）を折り畳み、一対の枠体（１１１）（１１１）を間隔をおいて並列に配置する。この折り畳み時においては、各ピンチ吊持部材（１５０）は、本体枠開閉方向に沿って外側に正確に揺動される。しかも、各ピンチ吊持部材（１５０）は、本体枠（１１０）に対し垂直状態から外側へ９０°以上揺動されるとともに、一対の枠体（１１１）（１１１）間において対向するピンチ吊持部材（１５０）の上端部同士が離間して配置されているため、各ピンチ吊持部材（１５０）及び各ピンチ（１４０）が、各枠体（１１）に対し、平行に配置されるとともに、各ピンチ吊持部材（１５０）及び各ピンチ（１４０）が一対の枠体（１１１）間に配置される。
【００９０】
従って、一対の枠体（１１１）（１１１）間に各ピンチ吊持部材（１５０）や各ピンチ（１４０）を整然と配置することができ、ピンチ吊持部材（１５０）やピンチ（１４０）が絡み付くのを防止できるため、本体枠（１１０）を開く際に、一対の枠体（１１１）（１１１）間においてピンチ吊持部材（１５０）やピンチ（１４０）がスムーズに離別し、本体枠（１１０）の開き操作を不具合なく容易に行うことができる上更に、良好な外嵌体裁を得ることができる。
【００９１】
更に本体枠（１１０）を折り畳んだ状態では、一対の枠体（１１１）（１１１）を平行に配置することができるため、嵩張らずコンパクトな形態となり、効率良く収納することができる。
【００９２】
また本実施形態においては、本体枠（１１０）の主要部を、アルミニウム等の金属パイプにより構成するものであるため、本体枠（１１０）を合成樹脂等により形成する場合と比較して、剛性を高めることができ、本体枠（１１０）の各構成片自体を細く形成することができる。このため、小型軽量化を図ることができて、より使い勝手の良い折り畳み式物干器を提供することができる。
【００９３】
なお、上記各実施形態においては、本体枠を、合成樹脂又はアルミニウム等の金属等を主構成として形成するようにしているが、それだけに限られず、本発明は、例えば本体枠を合成樹脂とアルミニウム等の金属との複合体により構成するようにしていも良い。
【００９４】
【発明の効果】
以上のように、この発明の折り畳み式物干器によれば、枠本体をコンパクトに折り畳むことができて、良好な外観体裁を確保しつつ、嵩張らず効率良く収納できる上更に、枠本体を折り畳み状態から開く際に、ピンチやピンチ連結用部材等の絡み付きを防止できて、スムーズに開くことができるという効果がある。
