Description

  The present invention relates to a structure of a laundry hanging hook capable of hanging laundry with one hand.

If the laundry can be hung with one hand, the work efficiency of hanging the laundry will increase, and the work can be performed even when one hand is inconvenient.
As such a device, there is a “shaft-type clothespin” described in Patent Document 1 below. This device puts the laundry between two wheel-shaped axles. The shaft of each axle ring is held in a long hole formed obliquely. When the laundry is pinched with one finger and pushed into between the two axles from below, the shaft of each axle moves upward along an oblique slot and the distance between the two axles Since it becomes wide, laundry enters. When the finger is released, the shaft of each wheel moves downward along an oblique slot due to its own weight or the weight of the laundry, and the distance between the two wheels decreases. A thing is caught. It is a so-called gravity type that uses the weight of the axle.
Utility model registration No. 3077377

However, Patent Document 1 requires two shaft rings or the like to sandwich one laundry, increases the number of parts, and is complicated to stably hold the shaft of the shaft ring in the long hole. A structure is required, thus making the device complex and increasing the manufacturing cost of the device.
In order to solve the above-described problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a laundry drying hook that is gravitational, has a small number of parts, has a simple structure, and can reduce manufacturing costs.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, the first invention includes a frame that is suspended or fixed in a laundry, a vertical side portion that is provided in a substantially vertical direction on the frame, and a plurality of left and right sides are disposed on the left and right sides. The laundry drying hook is characterized in that a base portion is rotatably provided at a lower end of a vertical side portion, and a hook portion having a length in contact with the adjacent vertical side portion due to its own weight.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided the laundry drying hook, wherein each of the vertical side portions is provided at a tip of a protruding portion protruding from a side surface of the frame.
The third aspect of the present invention is further characterized in that the frame is formed of a synthetic resin, and the hook part is entirely made of metal or partly made of metal to increase the turning moment. The laundry drying hook according to 1 or 2.

According to the laundry drying hook of the first, second, or third invention, the laundry is passed through the hook portion or is sandwiched between the hook portion and the adjacent vertical side portion.
To perform the drying operation, the laundry is first pinched with the finger of one hand and the tip of the hook is pushed up. At this time, either the finger or the laundry may contact the hook portion. When pushing up with the laundry, for example, the middle of the laundry is pinched with a finger, and the hook part is pushed up with the laundry protruding above the finger. Alternatively, the upper part of the laundry is picked up with a finger, and the hook part is pushed up with the laundry protruded laterally below the finger.
By this push-up, the tip of the hook part rotates, and a gap is formed between the tip of the hook part and the adjacent vertical side part. Laundry is passed through this gap, and a portion of the laundry that is a ring is passed through the hook portion, or the laundry is positioned between the hook portion and the adjacent vertical side portion. When the finger is moved downward and released, the tip of the hook portion rotates in the reverse direction due to the weight of the hook portion or the weight of the laundry. And the front-end | tip of a hook part contact | connects the adjacent vertical side part, or the front-end | tip of a hook part contact | connects the adjacent vertical side part across the laundry, and a clearance gap is lose | eliminated. Thereby, the laundry can be dried.

Since this laundry drying hook can be composed of a vertical side portion on the side surface of the frame and a rotating hook portion, the number of parts is small, the structure is simple, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced. According to this aspect, since the vertical side portion and the hook portion are provided at the tip of the protruding portion protruding from the side surface of the frame, the frame does not exist directly above the hook portion due to the protrusion. Therefore, even if the vertical side portion is shortened, the finger or the laundry does not collide with the frame when the hook portion is pushed up while the laundry is pinched in the above-described drying operation. For this reason, a vertical side part can be shortened and the upper and lower dimensions of the laundry hanging hook can be reduced.

 According to the third aspect of the invention, by further increasing the turning moment of the hook portion, the force for turning the tip of the hook portion in the reverse direction is increased, and the laundry is easily dried.

An embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 1, the laundry drying hook 1 of this embodiment has the square frame 3 located horizontally. The frame 3 is formed of synthetic resin, and the chains 5 attached to the four corners thereof are gathered in a central locking portion 7, and the locking portion 7 is locked to a laundry hanging basket or the like. Suspended by.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the protruding portion 9 protrudes from the side surface of the frame 3. A plurality of protrusions 9 are provided on the left and right along the frame 3. A vertical side portion 11 is provided in a substantially vertical direction downward from the tip of the protruding portion 9. Therefore, a plurality of vertical sides 11 are also arranged on the left and right.

  As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, a rod-like hook portion 13 is provided at the lower end of the vertical side portion 11. That is, a groove 15 having a U-shaped cross section is formed at the lower end of the vertical side portion 11, and the base portion of the hook portion 13 is loosely fitted in the groove 15, and by the pin 17 penetrating through the groove 15, It is rotatably attached to the lower end of the vertical side portion 11.

  The hook portion 13 has a sufficient length, and has a length in which the tip is in contact with the adjacent vertical side portion 11 due to its own weight. In the state of contact, the angle formed by the shaft ship of the hook portion 13 with the horizontal line is 15 degrees (see FIG. 3A). The hook portion 13 is entirely made of metal, and the entire surface is resin-coated. By making it metal, the moment of rotation is increased.

"Effects of the embodiment"
According to the laundry drying hook 1 of this embodiment, the laundry 19 can be dried by passing it through the hook portion 13 or by sandwiching it between the hook portion 13 and the adjacent vertical side portion 11.
That is, as shown in FIG. 2, in order to perform the drying operation, first, the laundry 19 is pinched with the finger 21 of one hand and the tip of the hook portion 13 is pushed up (right side in the figure). At this time, either the finger 21 or the laundry 19 may contact the hook portion 13. Among these, when pushing up with the laundry 19, the middle of the laundry 19 is pinched with the finger | toe 21, for example, and the laundry 19 protrudes above the finger | toe 21. FIG. The protruding laundry 19 pushes up the tip of the hook portion 13. Or the upper part of the laundry 19 is pinched with the finger | toe 21, and the front-end | tip of the hook part 13 is pushed up diagonally in the part which protruded to the side of the laundry 19 in the position below the finger | toe 21. FIG.
By this pushing up, the tip of the hook part 13 is rotated upward, and a gap is formed between the tip of the hook part 13 and the vertical side part 11 provided adjacent to the right side.

The laundry 19 is passed through the gap, and a portion of the laundry 19 that is a ring is passed through the hook portion 13 (left side in the figure). Alternatively, the laundry 19 is positioned so as to be sandwiched between the hook portion 13 and the adjacent vertical side portion 11.
Then, the finger 21 is moved downward and the laundry 19 is released. Then, the tip of the hook portion 13 rotates in the reverse direction, that is, downward, by the weight of the hook portion 13 and the weight of the laundry 19. And the front-end | tip of the hook part 13 touches the vertical side part 11 provided adjacently. Or the front-end | tip of the hook part 13 contact | connects the vertical side part 11 adjoined across the laundry 19, and a clearance gap disappears.
Thereby, the laundry 19 passed through the hook portion 13 does not come off the hook. In addition, the laundry 19 is sandwiched between the hook portion 13 and the adjacent vertical side portion 11. Thereby, the laundry 19 can be dried.

"Effect of the embodiment"
Since the laundry hanging hook 1 can be constituted by the vertical side portion 11 on the side surface of the frame 3 and the rotating hook portion 13, the number of parts is small. Further, the structure is simple and the manufacturing cost can be suppressed.

  Further, since the vertical side portion 11 and the hook portion 13 are provided at the tip of the protruding portion 9 protruding from the side surface of the frame 3, the hook portion 13 is in an offset state due to this protrusion, and the hook portion 13 is directly above the hook portion 13. Frame 3 does not exist. Therefore, even if the vertical side portion 11 is shortened, the finger 21 or the laundry 19 does not hit the frame 3 when the laundry 19 pinched with the finger 21 is pushed up in the above-described drying operation. For this reason, the vertical side part 11 can be shortened, and the vertical dimension of the laundry drying hook 1 can be reduced.

  Further, by making the hook portion 13 made of metal, the moment of rotation can be increased, the force that the tip of the hook portion 13 rotates in the reverse direction becomes stronger, the laundry 19 is difficult to come off, and is easy to dry. Become.

"Other embodiments"
In the above embodiment, the vertical side portion 11 is linear in the vertical direction, and the hook portion 13 is linear in the longitudinal direction. Therefore, the portion through which the laundry 19 is passed or sandwiched was a substantially rectangular shape surrounded and closed by the frame 3, the protruding portion 9, the vertical side portion 11, and the hook portion 13. However, in other embodiments, each need not necessarily be linear, and thus can be other closed shapes, i.e., circular or elliptical, rather than square. For example, the vertical side portion 11 may be formed in an inverted Y shape, and the hook portion 13 may be curved in a substantially U shape so as to be circular or elliptical.

In the above embodiment, the frame 3 is a horizontally located quadrangle, but in other embodiments, a shape of a conventional laundry hanger such as a circular shape or a radial shape can be adopted.
In the above embodiment, the frame 3 is suspended, but in other embodiments, it may be fixed to the laundry.

In the above embodiment, the hook is entirely made of metal. However, in other embodiments, a part of the hook may be made of metal. For example, the moment can be increased by making the tip only metal.
In the above embodiment, the upper end of the vertical side portion 11 is provided continuously to the tip of the protruding portion 9. However, in other embodiments, the center of the vertical side portion 11 is continuous to the tip of the protruding portion 9. A part may be provided.

  In the above embodiment, the hook portion 13 is offset by the projecting portion 9, and the frame 3 does not exist directly above the hook portion 13. Therefore, when the laundry 19 pinched with the finger 21 is pushed up, It was something that would not hit 3. However, in other embodiments, even if the protruding portion 9 is not provided, if the vertical side portion 11 is made sufficiently long, the laundry 19 pinched with the finger 21 will not hit the frame 3 when pushed up.
