Hereinafter, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[First embodiment]
FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the two-hook type clothes drying apparatus of the present invention.
A number of clips or the like are attached to the two-hook type clothesline so as to hang, but they are omitted in the figure.
The two-hook type clothes-drying tool 1 according to the first embodiment includes a frame 3, and the frame 3 is connected between two U-shaped outer frames 2A and the outer frame 2A. And an inner frame 2B for reinforcing 2A.
The end of each outer frame 2A is inserted into and integrated with a cylindrical member 5 provided in a rotating portion 4 for folding the frame 3 in two.
Although the rotation part 4 is pivotally attached by the pin member P, when the outer frame 2A is opened, it has a structure which does not become an obtuse angle state beyond horizontal.
Each outer frame 2A is provided with a joint 6 at an appropriate position, and the inner frame 2B is connected between the outer frames 2A via the joint 6.

In the first embodiment, four inner frames 2B are provided. However, as shown in the drawing, the inner frame 2B can be provided at the outer side, that is, at a position near the bent portion of the U-shaped outer frame 2A. .
The bent portion of the outer frame 2A needs to prevent the frame body from being distorted. By providing the inner frame 2B, the outer frame 2A is reinforced and hardly distorted.
Hooks 7 are rotatably attached to the inner inner frame 2B via attachments 8, respectively.
That is, the base 71 of the hook 7 is pivotally attached to the fixture 8.
The front end side of the hook 7 is curved in an arc shape so that it can be hung on a clothesline or the like. When the hook 7 is folded, the arc portion 7a comes into contact with the outer outer frame 2A and moves downward in the hook 7. Is restricted.
That is, the outer frame itself has a function as a rotation stop of the hook 7.

The frame body 3 composed of the outer frame 2A and the inner frame 2B is made of, for example, a stainless round tube material that is not easily rusted.
Also, in the figure, a large number of small holes 3a are formed at predetermined intervals on the back side of the frame body 3, but when these small holes 3a are formed by cutting, stainless steel is more variably made than aluminum, which is highly viscous. Can be prevented and clothes are not damaged.

FIG. 2 shows a side view of the clothes drying tool 1 along the line II-II in FIG.
Usually, the hook 7 is arranged in parallel with the frame 3.
Now, when suspending the clothesline 1 on the clothesline 9, the hook 7 is rotated 90 degrees upward as shown by a two-dot chain line in the drawing so as to stand upright with respect to the surface of the frame 3.
When the hook 7 is hung on the clothes rack 9 in this state, since the lengths of the two hooks are the same, the clothes rack 9 and the frame 3 are parallel to each other, and the frame 3 does not tilt.
Of course, the frame 3 can be kept horizontal by the two hooks even if a load is applied by hanging clothes or the like.

And when the clothes-drying tool 1 of the state of FIG. 2 is folded in the center, it will come to show in FIG.
In the state shown in the figure, the tip of the hook 7 is positioned vertically downward, and the clothes-drying tool 1 has a flat plate shape and can be easily stored.

According to the two-hook type clothes-drying tool 1 of the first embodiment described above, the outer frame 2A can be folded simultaneously with the folding of the hook 7 because it is in contact with the outer frame 2A on the side opposite to the folding side.
The hook 7 attached to the inner frame 2B has its tip end in contact with the upper surface of the outer frame 2A and does not turn inward any more, so that it does not hinder the folding.
Therefore, it is not necessary to newly provide another member such as a rotation stopper, and the rotation of the hook 7 can be restricted with such a simple structure.

[Second Embodiment]
FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment of the two-hook type clothes dryer of the present invention.
In the second embodiment, the same members as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted (the same applies to the following embodiments).
The two-hook type clothes dryer 1A of the second embodiment is different from the two-hook type clothes dryer 1 of the first embodiment in that the hook 7 is not the inner frame 2B but the outer frame facing the outer inner frame 2B. The arc portion on the tip side of the hook 7 is in contact with the upper surface of the inner frame 2B, not the outer frame 2A.

With such a configuration, the distance between the hook mounting brackets 8 at the base end portion of the hook 7 is widened, and when the clothes drying tool 1A is suspended from the clothes hanging basket 9, the position of the clothes drying tool 1A becomes more stable.
Incidentally, when the clothes drying tool 1A is not in use, it can be folded in two and hung on the clothes rack 9 as shown in FIG. 5, and space saving can be achieved.

[Third embodiment]
FIG. 6 shows a third embodiment of the two-hook type clothes drying apparatus of the present invention.
The two-hook type clothes dryer 1B of the third embodiment is different from the two-hook type clothes dryer 1 of the first embodiment in that the direction of the arc portions 7a of the two hooks 7 facing each other is the first embodiment. Then, it is facing the same side, that is, the direction of the hook is the same, but in the second embodiment, it is facing the opposite direction in the clothesline width direction.

In the case of the clothesliner 1B having such a configuration, when removing it from the clothesline 9, it is only necessary to lift the frame body 3 while grasping one of the hooks 7 by hand and horizontally swing the frame body 3 in the removal direction. 7 is hard to come off and is convenient.
In addition, there is an advantage that it is difficult to come off even when a strong force is applied to one side due to a strong wind or the like.

[Fourth embodiment]
FIG. 7 is an exploded view illustrating in detail an example of the structure of a fixture for pivotally attaching a hook to a frame body in the two-hook type clothes-drying tool of the present invention.
FIGS. 8A and 8B show a state in which a two-hook type clothes drying apparatus is assembled and attached. FIG. 8A is a front view and FIG. 8B is a side view.
In this case, the hook 7A is attached to an outer frame or an inner frame, which is a frame body, via a fixture (the fixture is composed of the connecting part 12 and the hook fitting 8A).
The connecting part 12 includes a lid body 12a and a main body part 12b. After the hook 7A is sandwiched between them, the base body 7A1 of the hook 7A is connected to the main body part 12b by tightening the lid body 12a with the screw N. 12 is fixed.
Further, the base 7A1 of the hook 7A is disposed along the arcuate wall 12b4, and the end of the base 7A1 is surely received by coming into contact with the constricted part formed on the dharma-shaped convex part 12b2.

The main body portion 12b has a pair of arm portions 12b1, and a short shaft 12b2 is provided at the tip thereof.
A locking projection T is formed inside the arm portion 12b1.
On the other hand, the hook mounting bracket 8A is composed of an upper wide portion 81 of the hook mounting bracket 8A and a lower narrow portion 82 having a narrower width, and the wide portion 81 inserts the short shaft 12b2 of the connecting part 12. A narrow hole 82 is provided with a fixing hole 8Ab for inserting and fixing the frame body.
The lower part of the shaft hole 8Aa of the wide portion 81 is opened and communicates with the fixing hole 8Ab.
On both end faces of the narrow width portion 82, there are three locking grooves S (two in the horizontal direction and two in the vertical direction) for engaging the locking projections T of the arm portion 12b1 of the connecting part 12. It is formed in one place along.

By inserting the short shaft 12b2 of the connecting component 12 into the shaft hole 8Aa of the hook mounting bracket 8A, the connecting component 12 is rotatable with respect to the hook mounting bracket 8A.
In this case, the short shaft 12b2 can be easily mounted in the shaft hole 8Aa of the hook mounting bracket 8A by inserting the short shaft 12b2 of the connecting part 12 so as to be pulled upward from the narrow width side.
Since the arm portion 12b1 of the connecting part 12 elastically presses the wide portion 81 of the hook mounting bracket 8A from the outside, the locking projection T of the arm portion 12b1 is strongly fitted in the locking groove S of the hook mounting bracket 8A. It becomes a state.
When the hook 7A is pushed and rotated around the inner frame 2B together with the connecting component 12, the hook 7A is temporarily fixed at each position of 0 degrees, 90 degrees, and 180 degrees.
Incidentally, FIG. 9 shows a state where the hook 7A is tilted 180 degrees.

Although the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and it goes without saying that various other modifications are possible without departing from the essence thereof.
For example, in the first to third embodiments described above, the example in which the hook 7 is brought into contact with the outer frame 2A or the inner frame 2B has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this example, and for example, FIG. And as shown in FIG. 11, the structure which engage | inserts the front end side of the hook 7 in the groove part 10a of the elastic receiving body 10 attached to 2 A of outer frames, and is temporarily fixed to 2 A of outer frames may be sufficient.

Of course, the mounting bracket 8 may be attached to the outer frame 2A, and the tip end side of the hook 7 may be fitted into the elastic receiver attached to the inner frame 2B.
If the above-described rotation of the hook 7 is constrained by the elastic receiving body 10, the number of parts increases, but the clothes drying tool 1 is being folded or stored. It is reliably avoided that the hook 7 rotates.

In the first to third embodiments described above, the example in which the rotation of the hook 7 in one direction is restrained by the outer frame 2A or the inner frame 2B has been described, but the rotation in the other direction is also limited. Therefore, the configuration shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 may be used.
That is, a configuration in which a protrusion 7b is formed at the base of the hook 7 so that the hook 7 does not rotate over when the hook 7 stands upright, and the protrusion 7b contacts the protrusion 8a of the hook mounting bracket 8 serving as an over rotation preventing member. Anyway.
If over-rotation of 90 degrees or more is prevented in this way, the frame body, the clothes-drying tool 1 and the two hooks 7 form a rectangular frame when the clothesline 1 is hung on the clothesline with the hook 7 in an upright state. Therefore, it is always in a stable state even if it receives force from strong winds.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 12, a resistance imparting body (for example, rubber) 11 that is pressed against the base of the hook 7 is provided on the mounting bracket 8 so that a resistance force is applied when the hook 7 is rotated. good.
With such a configuration, the hook 7 can be prevented from rattling.
