Description

  The present invention relates to a clothes-drying tool that keeps a frame in a horizontal state and can be easily hung with a single hand at a high place even when the laundry is hung using an indoor duck or curtain rail.

  In general, when clothes and other laundry are dried indoors in cloudy weather or rainy weather, a clothesline provided with a plurality of pinches on a frame is often hung using a duck or curtain rail. However, since the above-mentioned clothes drying equipment is supposed to be hung on an outdoor clothes rack with few obstacles in fine weather, several strings and chains that connect the hook and the frame are the same length. By forming, the horizontal state of the frame is maintained.

  However, when the clothesline is dried using indoor duck or curtain rails, walls and windows become obstacles, and the frame body is inclined obliquely. Therefore, there is a problem that laundry takes time and drying takes time.

  In addition, since the above-mentioned clothes-drying tool uses a chain or a string that flexibly moves the member that connects the hook part and the frame body, when the hook part does not stand alone and is hung at a high place, It is necessary to hang by grasping the hook part by hand. For this reason, a chair or a stepladder is used, which takes time and labor, and there is a risk that the balance is lost and the chair or the stepladder falls to cause injury.

  Therefore, for example, as shown in Patent Document 1 below, a clothes drying tool including a hanging wire made of a metal such as a wire has been proposed.

In this clothes-drying device, a main body frame having a number of solid pinches is hung on a suspender via a pair of suspending wires, and the suspending wire is positioned on the center of the main body frame. A hand holding part is provided, and a hand is arbitrarily moved from the hand holding part to change the position in the vicinity of the main body frame, and the lower end of each hanging wire is locked to the main body frame. A pair of leg portions, a connecting portion extending laterally from the upper ends of the both leg portions, and a gate-shaped suspension holding portion provided at the center of the connecting portion.
