Description

  The present invention relates to a clothes-drying cover formed so as to protect the laundry supported by the clothes-drying basket from rain.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a clothes drying cover for protecting laundry from rain so that the laundry does not get wet even when it rains is known. As such a clothes drying cover, a transparent sheet made of a synthetic resin such as polyvinyl chloride is formed in a predetermined shape, for example, covers the upper and surroundings of the laundry supported in a suspended state on a clothes dryer. It is known that it can be formed into a tent shape. If such a clothes-drying cover is used, even if it rains, the laundry is covered with the clothes-drying cover and does not get wet. Therefore, the laundry can be dried outdoors even on rainy days.
However, since the laundry is covered with a transparent sheet made of a synthetic resin having poor ventilation, the inside is steamed and the laundry is slowly dried.

In order to solve such a problem, a clothes drying cover employing a blind cover member has been proposed.
That is, the clothes drying cover is provided with a blind cover member that is translucent and has a plurality of long and thin plate-shaped rain guards arranged in the vertical direction. The rain pieces of the cover member are arranged at an equal interval and are inclined in the width direction so that a downward slope is formed toward the outdoor side.
Then, when using the clothesline cover, suspend the blind cover member around the eaves, place the laundry on the indoor side of this cover member, and protect the laundry from rain etc. with the cover member placed on the outdoor side It is supposed to be.

According to such a clothes-drying cover, since the rain shelter pieces having a downward slope toward the outdoor side prevent rainwater from entering, sufficient rainproofness is obtained, and the laundry is sufficiently protected from rain. It will be able to plan. In addition, since air can freely enter and exit from between the plurality of rain guards, sufficient ventilation can be secured. Moreover, since the rain shield has translucency, sunlight can be taken into the interior through the rain shield, so that the laundry can be dried quickly.
In addition, if the surface of the rain shield is provided with a concavo-convex pattern to scatter the transmitted light, a sufficient blinding effect can be obtained, and women's underwear and other laundry can be exposed to the human eye, living alone. The convenience of women can also be achieved (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
JP-A-2005-253552

With the above-mentioned clothes drying covers, if there are no baskets or eaves, you cannot attach the clothes drying cover, and use a stepladder etc. Therefore, there is a problem that installation is troublesome and dangerous.
In addition, the above-mentioned clothes drying cover is in widespread use because it is very difficult for one woman to attach a cover member to a high position such as an eaves even though there is a demand for women living alone. There is also a problem that it is not possible.
Also, if there is a strong wind in the rain, if the rain shields are bent by the wind pressure, the gap between the rain shields will widen and it will not be possible to maintain rainproof properties, so the thickness of the rain shields will not be bent by the wind pressure. It is necessary to secure the rigidity by preventing the bend of the rain-proof piece, but if the thickness of the rain-proof piece is increased, the weight of the clothes-drying cover will increase and this will increase the height of the eaves ceiling etc. There arises a problem that the mounting of the is more troublesome.
