However, this indoor clothes drying apparatus is formed at the upper end of the suspension part by fixing a fixing member for attaching the suspension part to a field edge provided on the back of the ceiling and forming a through hole in the ceiling and inserting the suspension part. A hook-like upper hook portion is engaged with the fixing member. And a hanger and a clothes-drying basket are locked and attached to the hook-like lower hook part formed at the lower end of the hanging part.
For this reason, when installing this indoor clothes drying apparatus, it is necessary to fix the fixing member to the field edge provided on the back of the ceiling and to form a through hole through which the suspended portion is inserted into the ceiling. There is a problem that the installation work of the clothes drying apparatus is complicated and large.
In addition, if the hanging part moves by hitting a hanger or a laundry basket that is inadvertently locked to the hanging part, the upper hook part and the fixing member of the hanging part are released and the pole or the lower hook part is released. There is a problem that even hangers and clothespins that are locked to the floor fall to the floor.
Furthermore, the hanging part of the indoor drying apparatus has a problem that the length of the hanging part cannot be adjusted with one touch.

A pole connector insertion cavity 32 is formed inside the base connector 26. A pole coupling body locking projection 34 is projected from the pole coupling body insertion cavity 32. The funnel-shaped part 30 and the pole connector insertion cavity 32 are communicated with each other through a pole connector insertion hole 36.
A pole coupling body 38 constituting the pole coupling device 24 is movably attached to the base coupling body 26 together with the base coupling body 26.
A substantially spherical spherical coupling portion 40 accommodated in the pole coupling body insertion cavity 32 is formed at one end of the pole coupling body 38. The spherical connecting portion 40 has an outer diameter that is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the pole connector insertion cavity 32, but is larger than the inner diameter of the pole connector insertion hole 36. For this reason, the pole coupling body 38 is loosely fitted in the pole coupling body insertion cavity 32.
A locking recess 42 is formed at the top of the spherical connecting portion 40. The locking recess 42 can be locked with the pole connector locking protrusion 34. Therefore, when the pole coupling body locking projection 34 enters the locking recess 42, the base coupling body 26 and the pole coupling body 38 are integrated (as shown in FIGS. 2, 9, and 10), and the pole coupling body engagement is achieved. When the stop projection 34 is disengaged from the locking recess 42, the base connecting body 26 and the pole connecting body 38 are in a free state (the state shown in FIG. 11).
As shown in FIG. 2, a taper portion 44 is formed at an intermediate portion of the pole coupling body 38. A cylindrical pole fitting portion 46 is formed at the other end portion of the pole coupling body 38. The pole fitting portion 46 is fitted into the first pole body 22 so that the first pole body 22 and the pole coupling device 24 are integrated.
As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, one knock pin insertion hole 48 is formed on one surface of the lower portion of the first pole body 22.
As shown in FIG. 1, a pole length adjusting device 50 is attached to the lower end portion of the first pole body 22 in an exterior state.
5 and 6, the lower end portion of the first pole body 22 is fitted into the through hole 54 of the adjustment device cylinder 52 of the pole length adjustment device 50, and the adjustment device cylinder 52 is The first pole body 22 is fixed. A slide button 56 is provided on the adjusting device cylinder 52 so as to be slidable in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the first pole body 22 (directions of arrows A and B in FIGS. 5 and 6).
As shown in FIG. 7, the outer shape of the slide button 56 is formed in a substantially elliptical shape in plan view. The push portion 56A of the slide button 56 is formed to protrude slightly.
A knock pin 58 as a pin that can be inserted into the knock pin insertion hole 48 is fixed inside the slide button 56. Further, an urging means accommodating portion 59 is formed inside the slide button 56 so as to face the knock pin 58, and the urging means accommodating portion 59 urges the slide button 56 in the arrow B direction. A spring 60 is provided as a means.
In addition, a pair of slide guide pieces 61 and 61 are provided inside the slide button 56 so as to be in close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the first pole body 22. Accordingly, the slide button 56 is guided by the slide guide pieces 61 and 61 and slides in the directions of arrows A and B.
As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the lower end portion of the first pole body 22 is fitted with a second pole body 62 formed of an aluminum rod constituting the pole 14 together with the first pole body 22. It is inserted so that it can appear and disappear.
The second pole body 62 is formed with a knock pin insertion hole 64 into which the tip of the knock pin 58 can be inserted. In the embodiment, three knock pin insertion holes 64 are formed side by side along the longitudinal direction of the first pole body 62 with an interval. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8, the length of the pole 14 of the indoor clothes drying apparatus 10 of this embodiment can be adjusted in three stages.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, a locking ring body 66 is fixed to the lower end portion of the second pole body 62. A hook portion of a hanger (not shown) can be locked to the locking ring body 66, or a clothes rack can be inserted through the locking ring body 66.

Next, the operation of the indoor clothes drying apparatus 10 according to the embodiment will be described.
When the indoor clothes drying apparatus 10 according to the present invention is used, it is necessary to connect the pole 14 to the base 12 which is fixed to the indoor ceiling A by a fixing means as appropriate.
When the pole 14 is connected to the base 12, the pole connecting body locking protrusion 34 of the base connecting body 26 of the pole connecting device 24 attached to the first pole body 22 is used as the locking recess 42 of the pole connecting body 38. The base connector 26 is prevented from moving by being inserted (state shown in FIG. 2).
Then, the poles 14 are pushed up with the inlet portions 28A, 28A of the coupling grooves 28, 28 of the pole coupling device 24 corresponding to the coupling projections 20, 20 of the base 12 to insert the pole coupling device 24 into the insertion tube portion 18 (FIG. 9). When the connecting projection 20 hits the first bent portion 28C of the connecting groove 28, the pole 14 is turned in the circumferential direction. When the connecting projection 20 hits the second bent portion 28D (the state shown in FIG. 10), the pole Pull 14 down. As a result, the connecting protrusion 20 comes into contact with the abutting portion 28B of the connecting groove 28 and stops (the state shown in FIG. 11).
As a result, the locking protrusion 20 of the base 12 comes into contact with the abutting portion 28B of the connecting groove 28 of the pole 14, and the base 12 and the pole connecting device 24 of the pole 14 are connected. It can be easily and quickly attached and suspended.
And the laundry can be dried by latching the hook part of the hanger which suspended the laundry on the latching ring body 66 of the second pole body 62 of the pole 14.
The base 12 and the pole 14 are coupled by the coupling protrusion 20 of the base 12 being accommodated in the fishhook-shaped coupling groove 28 of the pole coupling device 24 of the pole 14 as described above. Even if the pole 14 moves inadvertently by being careless, the connection between the bale 12 and the pole 14 is not released, so that a situation where the pole 14 falls can be prevented.
Further, when the pole 14 is suspended from the base 12, the funnel-shaped portion 30 is formed on the other end surface of the base connecting body 26, and the tapered portion 44 is formed on the pole connecting body 38. Even if the pole 14 hits the pole 14, the pole 14 easily moves in an inclined state (the state shown in FIG. 11). Therefore, damage when hitting the pole 14 can be reduced.
When the length of the pole 14 is to be adjusted, the push portion 56A of the slide button 56 of the pole length adjusting device 50 provided at the lower end portion of the first pole body 22 is pushed in the direction of the arrow A in the figure. Then, since the spring 60 is pushed and contracted by the first pole 22 and the slide button 56, the knock pin 58 inserted into the knock pin insertion hole 64 of the second pole body 62 comes out of the knock pin insertion hole 64 (shown in FIG. 5). Status).
Accordingly, by pulling or pushing the second pole body 62, the second pole body 62 can be made to appear and disappear with respect to the first pole body 22. When the knock pin 58 and the knock pin insertion hole 64 come to the corresponding positions, the knock pin 58 is automatically inserted into the knock pin insertion hole 64, the slide button 56 slides in the arrow B direction, and the second pole body 62 stops.
Therefore, the length of the pole 14 can be adjusted as shown in FIG. 8 by a one-touch operation by simply pushing the slide button 56.
When the pole 14 is removed from the base 12 when the indoor clothes-drying device 10 is not used, the pole 14 is pushed up and the pole connector locking projection 34 of the pole connector 24 attached to the first pole body 22 is provided. The base coupling body 26 is prevented from moving by being inserted into the locking recess 42.
Further, when the pole 14 is further pushed up and the connecting projection 20 of the base 12 hits the second bent portion 28D, the pole 14 is rotated in the circumferential direction opposite to the case where the pole 14 is connected to the base 12, and the connecting projection 20 is turned into the first bent portion. When the pole 14 is lowered when it hits the portion 28C, the connecting projection 20 comes out of the inlet portion 28A of the connecting groove 28. Thereby, the pole 14 can be easily and quickly removed from the base 12.
As described above, the indoor drying apparatus 10 of the present invention only needs to fix the base 12 to the ceiling A, and it is not necessary to form a through hole or the like in the ceiling A. It can be done easily.
In addition, the indoor clothes drying apparatus 10 of the present invention removes the pole 14 from the base 12, so that even if it is installed on the ceiling A, it does not give a sense of pressure to the residents in the room.

In the embodiment, three knock pin insertion holes 64 are formed in the second pole body 62 so that the length dimension of the pole 14 can be adjusted in three stages. However, the knock pin insertion hole formed in the second pole body 62 is not limited. Of course, the number of 64 is not limited to three.
Moreover, although the example demonstrated the case where one indoor drying apparatus 10 was attached in order to lock the hanger on the indoor drying apparatus 10, a plurality of the indoor drying apparatuses 10 are installed to attach a laundry basket or the like. Of course, it may be.
In addition, although the case where the indoor clothes-drying apparatus 10 was attached to the ceiling A was shown in the Example, of course, you may install in attachment parts other than the ceiling A.
