Description

  The present invention relates to a clothes drying tool in which a clothes drying member for hanging laundry can be folded.

  In general, various things have been proposed as clothes-drying tools that can fold a hanging basket for hanging laundry such as clothes and towels. For example, the pivot of the hanging rod disposed on the front side of the frame-type main body is inserted into a long hole provided in the frame-type main body, and when the pivot is moved to the end of the long hole, it engages with the hanging rod and is substantially horizontal. There has been proposed a clothes-drying tool in which a latching portion to be held on the frame-type main body is provided (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  This clothes hanger is supported horizontally by moving the inside of the long hole in which the pivot of the hanging rod is fitted, and engaging the linkage on the rear side of the hanging rod with the locking part of the frame type main body. When the extended state is achieved and the engagement is disengaged and moved in the opposite direction, the hanging hook can be folded, so that it is possible to very easily handle the clothesline.

  However, the clothesline has the following problems. That is, in the above-mentioned hanging basket, it is necessary to provide a basket for hanging laundry such as clothes and towels in advance, a pipe member, etc., and a hook part at regular intervals. It was not possible to make adjustments such as supporting only the heel horizontally, separating the ribs, or adjoining each other.

  The present invention is intended to solve the above-described problems, adjust the arrangement of a plurality of clothes drying members, and provide a clothes drying tool that can be used efficiently.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is configured as follows.
That is, the clothes drying tool according to the present invention includes a pair of support columns, a shaft bar provided horizontally between the support columns, and a plurality of clothes drying members provided with a long hole through which the shaft bar is inserted. Each of the clothes drying members can be rotated around the shaft rod and can be moved in the length direction of the shaft rod and the direction of the long hole, and the engagement groove formed in the clothes drying member. However, the clothes drying member is supported horizontally by being engaged with a support bar provided in parallel with the shaft bar between the columns.

  According to the present invention, when a relatively large and heavy laundry is to be hung, if the clothes-drying member is placed adjacently and hung from above, the weight is distributed to each of the clothes-drying members, so that the laundry is more stably washed. You can hang things. In addition, when the laundry is hung on the clothes-drying member, the interval between the clothes-drying members can be adjusted as appropriate, so that the laundry can be hung more efficiently and can be dried.

  In the clothes drying apparatus according to the present invention, the clothes drying member has two bar-shaped bodies projecting in parallel from a base having a substantially oval cross section in which a long hole is formed in the width direction, and the tip of the bar-shaped body Are connected to each other, and the rod-like body is inserted into an insertion hole formed perpendicularly to the long hole below the long hole, and the engagement groove is formed by denting the upper surface of the base. If this is done, when the laundry is hung on this rod-shaped body, a load is applied from the base end toward the upper wall portion of the insertion hole, but the upper wall portion and the bottom portion of the long hole are shared. Therefore, the load is received by the entire bottom of the long hole, and the rod-shaped body can be supported more easily than when the insertion hole is located at the top of the long hole or the side wall of the long hole.

  Next, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.

  1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of a clothes drying tool according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of a main part of FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a side view of FIG. 2, and FIG. It is.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the clothes drying tool P according to the present embodiment includes a pair of struts 1, a shaft rod 2 provided between the struts 1, a clothes drying member 3 inserted through the shaft rod 2, and a clothes drying member. In order to support 3 horizontally, it is mainly comprised from the support bar 4 provided between the support | pillars 1. FIG.

  First, the support column 1 has an inverted Y-shape in which a pipe material 11 arranged in a vertical direction and two pipe materials 11 arranged in an oblique direction are combined via a connection portion 12. The shaft rod 2 and the support rod 4 are provided in parallel between the connecting portions 12 which are arranged and opposed to each other. Further, a joint 13 is attached to the upper end of the support column 1, and a cross rail 14 is attached between the opposing joints 13. Similarly, a joint 15 is attached to the lower end of the support column 1, and the opposing joint 15. A horizontal rail 14 is attached between the two. With this structure, the clothes-drying tool P can be erected more stably.

  Further, a support pipe 16 extends obliquely upward from the joint 13 of each support column 1, and a receiving portion 18 having a receiving groove 17 having an open top is provided at the upper end of the supporting pipe 16. A clothes basket 19 is fitted to 17 and attached between the receiving portions 18. Retaining caps 20 having a diameter larger than the inner diameter of the receiving groove 17 are attached to both ends of the clothes rack 19, and a fixing screw is screwed from the outer surface of the receiving groove 17 toward the clothes rack 19. Has been. With this structure, the clothes basket 19 is prevented from being accidentally pulled out. As shown in FIGS. 5 (a) and 5 (b), the receiving portion 18 has a cylindrical portion in which the opening of the receiving groove 17 is closed, and a cap is provided from one end of the cylindrical portion. 20 may be attached, and the basket 19 may be inserted and attached from the other end, and the insertion hole 21 into which the support pipe 16 is inserted from the cylindrical portion may be formed in a T shape. In the form shown in FIG. 5, the engagement protrusion 22 is formed at the tip of the support pipe 16, and when the support pipe 16 is inserted into the insertion hole 21, the engagement protrusion 22 presses the inner wall of the insertion hole 21. Then, the engaging hole 23 is engaged with the engaging hole 23 at the insertion hole 21 so that the support pipe 16 does not come out.

  Subsequently, the clothes drying member 3 includes a base portion 32 having a long hole 31 through which the shaft 2 is inserted, an engagement groove 33 formed by recessing the upper surface of the base portion 32 at one end of the base portion 32, and the base portion 32. The two rod-shaped bodies 34 projecting in parallel from the other end of the two rod-shaped bodies 34 and a cover member 35 that connects the tips of the two rod-shaped bodies 34. The engagement groove 33 is engaged with the support rod 4. It is made so that. With this structure, the clothes-drying member 3 can rotate with respect to the shaft rod 2, can take an arbitrary position within a range where the shaft rod 2 is inserted into the long hole 31, and moves in the length direction of the shaft rod 2. Made possible.

  The base end of the rod-like body 34 is inserted into the insertion hole 36 formed perpendicularly to the long hole 31 below the long hole 31 from the side surface of the base portion 32, and protrudes from the side surface of the base portion 32. Has been made. In this embodiment, a screw is screwed in from the bottom of the base portion 32 toward the rod-shaped body 34 so that the rod-shaped body 34 does not come out, but the proximal end of the rod-shaped body 34 is inserted into the insertion hole 36 using an adhesive. It may be fixed, or may simply be a form in which the rod-like body 34 is inserted into the insertion hole 36.

  The engagement groove 33 is provided with one end of the base portion 32 as a side wall surface, and the width of the opening is substantially the same as the outer diameter of the support rod 4 to be engaged. Together, it is formed in a substantially U shape, and its depth is more than half of the diameter of the support bar 4. In this embodiment, the center of the engaging groove 33 is positioned slightly above the center line of the elongated hole, and the engaging groove 33 is engaged with the support bar 4, whereby the rod-shaped body 34 of the clothes drying member 3. Are arranged in a horizontal state facing slightly upward, and are arranged perpendicular to the shaft 2. With this structure, even when the bar-shaped body 34 is bent when the laundry is hung on the bar-shaped body 34, a more horizontal state can be maintained.

  At the tip of the rod-shaped body 34, the end of the cover material 35 formed in an arc shape is connected to each other to form a U shape. With this structure, an operator or a child directly contacts the tip of the rod-like body when only the rod-like body 34 whose tip is not connected or when the tip of the rod-like body 34 is simply covered with a cover cap. This is preferable because injuries or the like caused by the tip of the rod-shaped body 34 hitting the body are less likely to occur. In addition, by hanging a towel or the like over the two rod-shaped bodies 34, it becomes easier to dry than when hanging on one rod-shaped body 34.

  A hanging member 41 is attached so as to be arranged on the opposite side of the clothes-drying member 3. The hanging member 41 has a structure similar to the clothes drying member 3. That is, it has a long hole 42 through which the support bar 4 is inserted, a base 43 disposed at each end of the support bar 4, and an engagement groove 44 that is formed at one end of the base 43 and engages the shaft bar 2. And a support portion 45 projecting from the other end of the base portion 43 and a clothes rack 46 hung between the support portions 45. In this embodiment, by engaging the engaging groove 44 with the shaft rod 2, the laundry basket 46 of the hanging member 41 is arranged horizontally.

  The pipe material 11, the horizontal rail 14, the support pipe 16, the hanging rod 19, the rod-shaped body 34, and the hanging rod 46 are generally made of a member obtained by cutting a pipe material formed of a stainless alloy into a cylindrical shape to an appropriate length. However, depending on the required strength and rigidity, such as metals other than stainless steel alloys, such as aluminum alloys and steel materials, combinations of these metals, and pipe materials coated with synthetic resin, etc. Can be used as appropriate.

  The base portion 32 and the engagement groove 33, and the base portion 43, the engagement groove 44, and the support portion 45 are generally each molded from a synthetic resin. Examples of the synthetic resin include polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, polycarbonate, Polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, polyphenylene sulfide, polyamide, polyurethane, ABS, AAS resin and the like can be used. In this embodiment, the base portion 32 and the engaging groove 33, and the base portion 43, the engaging groove 44, and the support portion 45 are integrally molded, but a plurality of members are combined as necessary. May be.

  Next, a method for assembling the clothes drying tool P according to this embodiment will be described. First, the struts 1 are arranged in a pair on the left and right sides, and the shaft bar 2, the support bar 4, and the cross rail 14 are laid between them to form the framework of the clothes drying tool P. At that time, the clothes-drying member 3 is inserted into the shaft rod 2, and the clothes-drying member 41 is inserted into the support rod 4. In this state, the clothes-drying member 3 and the clothes-drying member 41 are suspended from the shaft bar 2 and the support bar 4 with their long holes 31 and 42 facing upward due to their own weight. If necessary, the clothes basket 19 is attached to the receiving portion 18 at the top of the column 1 and attached.

  Subsequently, the hanging member 3 to be used is lifted and rotated around the shaft rod 2 to be in a horizontal state, and the supporting portion 4 is engaged with the engaging groove 33 while adjusting the position of the hanging member 3. With this structure, when the laundry is hung on the rod-like body 34 and a load is applied downward, the shaft rod 2 inserted through the long hole 31 serves as a support shaft, and the locking groove 33 tends to move upward. Since the locking groove 33 is prevented from moving upward by the support bar 4, the bar-shaped body 34 is maintained in a horizontal state.

  Further, since the insertion hole 36 into which the base end of the rod-like body 34 is inserted is located below the long hole 31, even if the side wall portion of the insertion hole 36 protrudes downward from the base portion 32, it is difficult to see in appearance. Compared with the case where the insertion hole 36 is formed above the long hole 31, the design is excellent. Furthermore, since the upper wall portion of the insertion hole 36 and the bottom portion of the long hole 31 are shared, when the laundry is hung on the rod-shaped body 34, the load is received by the entire bottom portion of the long hole 31, and the rod shape The body 34 is more easily supported. In addition, since the bottom portion of the insertion hole 36 is located below the locking groove 33, when the laundry is hung on the rod-shaped body 34, an upward load applied to the base end of the rod-shaped body 34 causes the locking groove 33 to move. However, since the bottom of the locking groove 33 and the lower part of the support bar 4 are in contact with each other over the length direction, this load is applied in the length direction of the support bar 4. It can be dispersed and supported more stably. This structure takes into consideration that the load tends to concentrate on the proximal end of the insertion hole 36 as compared with the case where the insertion hole 36 is formed above the long hole 31 or when the insertion hole 36 is formed on the side wall surface of the long hole 31. Then, it is more preferable.

  Even if the rod-shaped body 34 of the clothes-drying member 3 in the horizontal state is moved in the length direction, the side wall surface of the engagement groove 33 is blocked by the support rod 4, so that the rod-shaped body 34 of the clothes-drying member 3 is more horizontally aligned. It can be held stably. Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the support bar 4 is engaged with the locking groove 33, the shaft bar 2 inserted through the elongated hole 32 is arranged at a position in contact with the side wall surface on the bar-shaped body 34 side. Has been made. Thereby, even when a force is applied to the side surface of the rod-shaped body 34, the rod-shaped body 34 is not easily displaced from the vertical arrangement with respect to the shaft rod 2. The state in which the shaft rod 2 is in contact with the side wall surface on the rod-shaped body 34 side may be a state in which the shaft rod 2 is in contact with the side wall surface on the rod-shaped body 34 side, and a gap that does not cause unnecessary displacement occurs. It may be in the state.

  And after using, if the support bar 4 is removed from the engagement groove | channel 33 of the clothes-drying member 3, the clothes-drying member 3 will be in the state suspended by the shaft bar 2, Therefore It can be stored compactly.

  Since the hanging member 41 has the same structure as the clothes-drying member 3, it is attached in the same manner as the clothes-drying member 3, and the same effect is obtained. In addition, instead of the hanging member 41, the clothes drying member 3 may be attached and the clothes drying member 3 may be arranged on both sides. At this time, a form using at least one of the shaft bar 2 or the support bar 4 may be used, but a form in which the shaft bar 2 and the support bar 4 are newly mounted may be used.

  The clothes-drying member 3 can be arranged horizontally only as much as necessary in accordance with the amount of laundry. Moreover, since it can move along the shaft 2 and the interval between the clothes-drying members 3 can be set as appropriate, the laundry can be easily dried and dried easily. And when hanging a relatively large and heavy laundry, if the clothes-drying member 3 is placed adjacently and hung from above, the weight is dispersed and applied to the clothes-drying members 3, so that the laundry can be more stably applied. Can be hung. Further, when a relatively long laundry is hung on the upper laundry basket 19, the laundry member 3 can be moved and used while avoiding the position of the laundry, so that the laundry is efficiently hung. be able to.

It is a perspective view which shows one Embodiment of the clothes drying tool which concerns on this invention. It is an enlarged view of the principal part of FIG. FIG. 3 is a side view of the clothes drying member of FIG. 2. FIG. 3 is a top view of the clothes drying member of FIG. 2.
