Description

The present invention relates to the structure and operation of a retractable clothesline.

The structure of the conventional retractable clothesline is a structure that takes up too much space during storage or takes time to assemble and store, and the conventional towel rack is a structure that takes some time to hang a towel, The dryer had to be dried one side at a time.

According to the above technique, too much space was required in the storage state, and it took time to assemble and store, and the futon had to be dried one by one.
Therefore, according to the present invention, the space for storing the clothesline is very small with respect to the ratio of the amount of the futon or the laundry that can be dried, and the labor and time required for assembly and storage are also greatly reduced.
In addition, toweling can be done more easily than before, and the back and front of two futons can be dried simultaneously.

In order to solve the above-described problems, the first invention is to attach one end of a hanging basket to the upper end of one of a pair of frames with a rotary support that can rotate in a direction perpendicular to the frame, and remove the other end of the basket. The clothes drying is characterized by a semi-circular wire attached horizontally and perpendicularly to each of two clothes racks that are mounted in a possible structure and arranged in parallel. When the hook is folded from the center of the futon, the wire protruding in a semicircular shape creates a space between the hems of the futon hanging around the bag. . By covering the outer periphery of the clothesline with a cover of a heat insulating material and sending in hot air from a futon dryer, both sides of the futon can be dried simultaneously.
In the second invention, a towel rack, in which five pipes are arranged in parallel and fixed at one end with a square pipe, is attached to the upper end of the other frame with a rotary support that can be rotated in a direction perpendicular to the frame. One end is a towel rack that supports the center at one point without being fixed. Since one end of the five pipes is not fixed, it can be easily hung by sliding the towel from the end. The center pipe supported at this time is loaded with the other four pipes and towels, so the diameter of the pipe is thicker than the other four.
In the third invention, the center of the frame is connected in the longitudinal direction with a single three-dimensional telescopic arm in which a metal square pipe is sandwiched between a pair of frames. The lower end of the telescopic arm is attached with a structure that can rotate in the vertical direction around the lower end, and the upper end is attached with a structure that can slide up and down. Since the arm is thick in the lateral direction, the single frame is supported at four points. As a result, the pair of frames is always kept parallel and stable at any distance, and the wheels provided at the lower end of the frame allow the frames to expand and contract very smoothly, allowing assembly and storage. It will be easy. In addition, one end of the hanging basket and the center support portion of the towel rack can be attached and detached with one operation, and the space for storage is reduced by hanging down almost directly from the frame.

According to the first invention, by attaching the semicircular wire in a staggered pattern alternately, it is possible to create a space between the hems of the futon hanging around the heel, and the outer periphery of this clothesline is a heat insulating material The two futons can be dried at the same time by covering with a cover and feeding hot air from a futon dryer.
According to the second invention, the towel can be easily hung by sliding from the end by the structure supporting the center of the towel rack.
According to the third aspect of the present invention, the pair of frames are always kept in parallel by connecting the center of the frame in the vertical direction with a single three-dimensional telescopic arm, and at the same time, stable at any distance. Assembling and storage can be facilitated, and the space for storage is also reduced.

One embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG.
The materials of the retractable clothesline are all made of stainless steel except for the wheels, and each of the two clothespins 3 arranged in parallel on the upper end of the front frame 1 and the upper end of the rear frame 2 has hundreds of protrusions of wire 4. Install. When a futon 6 is hung on the clothesline 3, a gap is formed between both hems. The outer periphery of the clothesline is covered with a heat insulating cover 5, and hot air from the futon dryer 7 is sent in.
Embodiment 2 of the present invention is shown in FIG.
One end of the towel rack 11 is leveled while being supported by the rotary support 8 on the upper end of the front frame 1, and one center point of the towel rack 11 is supported by the support bar 9. Since the center pipe 10 supported at this time is loaded with the other four pipes and towels, the diameter of the pipe is made thicker than the other four.
Embodiment 3 of the present invention is shown in FIGS.
Wheels 16 are attached to the lower ends of the front frame 1 and the rear frame 2, and the centers of the front frame 1 and the rear frame 2 are fixed in the vertical direction by guide rails 15. 14 is attached to the telescopic arm 12 having a three-dimensional structure sandwiched from both sides.

"Effect of the first embodiment"
When you put a futon on the clothesline, you can create a space between the hems of the futon that hangs around the clothesline. Cover the outer periphery of the clothesline with a cover of heat insulating material, and send in hot air from the futon dryer Thus, both sides of the two futons can be dried simultaneously.
"Effect of the second embodiment"
With the structure that supports the center of the towel rack, the towel can be easily hung by sliding from the end.
“Effects of Embodiment 3”
The three-dimensional telescopic arms and wheels keep the pair of frames always parallel, and at the same time maintain stability at any distance, making assembly and storage easy and reducing storage space. Become.

"Other embodiments"
In the embodiment of FIG. 1, the protruding wires 4 are attached to the laundry basket in a hundred-legged shape. However, when this interval is set to allow the laundry to be easily dried, when the hanger 17 is applied to the protruding wires 4, The interval between the hangers can be optimally maintained and dried efficiently.

It is the perspective view which shows Embodiment 1 of this invention, a partial side view, and a top view. It is a perspective view which shows Embodiment 2 of this invention. It is the 3rd page figure and side view of a part which show Embodiment 3 of this invention.
