Description

  The present invention relates to a hanging-type clothesline that supports a clothesline.

  Generally, in a veranda of a high-rise building in a condominium or the like, a pair of clothes drying tools are fixed to the ceiling surface, and both ends of the drying basket are supported by the pair of clothes drying tools.

  Here, if the above-mentioned clothes drying device is a fixed type that supports the clothes hanging basket at a certain height, the clothes drying basket supported by the clothes drying equipment may obstruct walking on the veranda or may be relatively large. There is a risk of hindering the transportation of the article.

  In order to eliminate such inconvenience, a suspension shaft, the upper part of which is fixed to the ceiling surface of the veranda, is made of a large-diameter pipe and a small-diameter pipe so that it can expand and contract. There has been proposed an elevating type clothes-drying tool in which a supporting basket receiving arm is attached and the height of the clothes-drying basket can be adjusted by sliding the small-diameter pipe.

  By the way, the conventionally known lifting type clothesliner has an operation part for locking and unlocking a small-diameter pipe in a sliding position at the lower end of the large-diameter pipe, and the operation part is at a relatively high position. The operability is poor, and each time the small-diameter pipe is slid, it is necessary to operate the operation portion, which is inconvenient.

  The subject of this invention is providing the raising / lowering type clothes-drying tool excellent in the operativity which can adjust the height of a clothes-drying basket easily.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention has a suspension shaft and a hook receiving arm supported at the lower end of the suspension shaft, and the suspension shaft is fixed at the upper part to the clothesline attachment target. A large-diameter pipe, and a small-diameter pipe that is slidably inserted into the large-diameter pipe and has a collar receiving arm attached to the lower end protruding downward from the lower end of the large-diameter pipe. Is provided with a pair of opposed engagement holes spaced in the length direction of the large-diameter pipe, and a pair of opposed windows at positions corresponding to the engagement holes on the upper portion of the small-diameter pipe located in the large-diameter pipe. A pair of engaging members that can be opened and closed about the upper part between the pair of windows, and an elastic member that biases the pair of engaging members in a direction in which the pair of engaging members open, Each engaging member faces the window from the window in its open state An engagement piece is provided that is inserted into the engagement hole and prevents the small-diameter pipe from moving downward by engagement with the inner peripheral lower edge of the engagement hole, and an inclined portion is provided outside each engagement piece. A configuration is provided in which operating means is provided that swings the pair of engaging members in a closing direction by an operation from the lower side of the saddle receiving arm.

  Here, when a lock piece that engages with the outer peripheral surface below the engagement hole of the large-diameter pipe is connected to the lower end of the inclined portion, the lock piece engages with the outer peripheral surface of the large-diameter pipe. Since the member can be prevented from swinging in the closing direction, the small-diameter pipe can be reliably locked at the slide adjustment position, and safety can be improved.

  In the clothesliner according to the present invention, as the operating means, a long hole formed in each of the pair of engaging members and obliquely formed in the opened state of the pair of engaging members, and an intersection of the pair of long holes It is possible to employ a pin that is composed of a pin inserted into the part and a linear body having an upper part coupled to the pin and a lower part facing the lower part of the saddle receiving arm.

  In the clothesliner having the above-described configuration, when the hook receiving arm is pushed up, the engaging member swings in the closing direction by the contact of the inclined portion of the engaging member with the inner peripheral upper edge of the engaging hole and engages. Since the engagement of the engagement piece with the inner peripheral lower edge of the hole is released, the small-diameter pipe moves smoothly upward. For this reason, the height of the hook receiving arm can be easily adjusted upward.

  Further, when the small-diameter pipe is moved to a position where the window faces one of the engagement holes, the engagement member swings in a direction in which the engagement member becomes rigid due to the elastic force of the elastic member, and the engagement piece becomes the inner periphery of the engagement hole. By automatically engaging the lower edge, the downward movement of the small diameter pipe can be prevented by the engagement, and the hook receiving arm can be stopped and held at the height adjustment position.

  Further, when the operating means is operated, the pair of engaging members swing in the closing direction and the engagement pieces are disengaged from the inner peripheral lower edge of the engagement hole, so that the small-diameter pipe is moved downward. be able to. Therefore, the height of the saddle receiving arm can be adjusted very easily downward, and the operation means is operated from below the saddle receiving arm, so that the operability is excellent and the engagement member is easily disengaged. can do.
