A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
The clothes drying apparatus of the present invention is attached to a fixture 4 fixed to a handrail T of a veranda as an attached body so that the rear surface side (attachment side) of the column 1 is slidable up and down, and the upper end of the column 1 The lid 3 is fixed, and the armband 2 is attached to the support column 1 to which the lid 3 is fixed so as to be rotatable and slidable. A state in which the armband 2 is obliquely upward is a use state (see FIG. 1), and a state in which the armband 2 is rotated upward to become a vertical state and moved downward is a storage state (see FIG. 2).

  The support column 1 is provided with a vertically long restriction hole 20/20 on both side surfaces of the upper part, and a vertical stopper 5 which can be moved up and down within the range of the restriction hole 20/20. When it moves, it engages with the armband 2, and the armband 2 cannot rotate upward from the use state, so that it functions as a stopper, and when it moves downward, it engages with the armband 2. The armband 2 is released, and the armband 2 can be rotated upward from the use state.

  The support column 1 is an extruded material, and on the front side (opposite side from the mounting side), there is a pair of opposed projections 15 and 15 that open forward and project inward to the front end and face each other with a gap therebetween. It is provided with a guide portion 6 in which the arm rod 2 in the substantially dovetail shape provided and in a vertical state slides up and down. A stop 9 for stopping the downward movement of the armband 2 is fixed to the lower portion of the guide portion 6. Further, a stopper 8 having a circular cross-section pin and a receiving tool 7 are fixed to the lower part of the guide portion 6 of the support column 1, and a base end of the armband 2 is fixed to the stopper 8 and the receiving tool 7. It is possible to set the armband 2 in a use state in which the portions abut and the armband 2 is inclined obliquely upward (see FIGS. 3 and 4).

  The lid 3 has an upper part and a front opening, and the upper opening has a vertical armband 2 that slides up and down, and the front opening projects inwardly with a gap. A pair of opposing stoppers 11 and 11 are provided to prevent protrusions 14 and 14 of the armband 2 to be described later from coming off forward. Since the upper opening and the outer stoppers 11 and 11 are in sliding contact with the armband 2, a synthetic resin guide cover 10 is attached.

  The armband 2 is provided with a plurality of hook receiving portions 12... 12 and protrusions 14 and 14 protruding in the thickness direction on both side surfaces of the periphery. The protrusions 14 and 14 of the armband 2 are provided with notches 16 and 16 by notching part of both side surfaces of the base end terminal portion. In addition, the armband 2 is provided with circular guide protrusions 13 and 13 that protrude in the thickness direction further than the protrusions 14 and 14 on both sides of the upper ends of the protrusions 14 and 14. Since the guide protrusions 13 and 13 are in sliding contact with the guide portion 6 of the support column 1, they are covered with a synthetic resin cap.

  The receiving device 7 is a vertically long thick plate, and is provided with a U-shaped opening recess 21 that opens rearward in a substantially lower half portion, and screw holes 22 and 22 at two locations on the rear end surface of the upper portion of the opening recess 21. Is provided.

The tilt stopper 5 is formed by attaching operating tools 18 and 18 provided outside the support column 1 to a main body 17 provided slidably in the support column 1.
The main body 17 is provided by inserting two vertically long planks facing each other at an interval similar to the thickness of the catch 7, connected at the lower end, and inserted into the column 1. The two thick plates are provided with inclined surfaces 26 and 26 which are inclined downward and forward at the upper end portions, and are provided with receiving portions 29 and 29 of the saddle-shaped concave portions which are directed obliquely upward and rearward at the upper end portions thereof. It is. Further, the two thick plates of the main body 17 are provided with screw holes 23 and 23 at corresponding positions on the outer surface.

  The operating tool 18 is provided with a sliding projection 24 having an oval cross-section at the center of the back surface, and is provided with a mounting hole 27 penetrating the front and back at the center, and the mounting screw 28 is attached to the mounting hole 27 of the operating tool 18 from the surface. When screwed into the screw hole 23 of the main body 17 and tightened, the main body 17 and the operation tools 18 and 18 are integrated.

  The stopper 7 is inserted between the two thick plates that are the main body 17 of the stopper stopper 5, and a compression spring 19 is provided between the bottom surface of the opening recess 21 of the stopper 7 and the lower end face of the stopper stopper 5. Then, the receiver 7 and the main body 17 of the tilt stopper 5 are integrated. The main body 17 of the tilt stopper 5 can move up and down with respect to the stopper 7 and is always urged upward by the force of the compression spring 19.

  A body in which the main body 17 of the stopper 7 and the tilt stopper 5 is integrated is inserted into the inside from the upper portion of the column 1, and the mounting screws 25 and 25 are inserted from the outside of the rear end portion of the column 1. The receiving tool 7 is fixed by screwing into the holes 22, 22, and the sliding protrusions 24, 24 of the operating tools 18, 18 are inserted from the restriction holes 20, 20 on both sides of the support 1, and the mounting screws 28, 28 are operated. The main body 17 and the operation tools 18, 18 are integrated into the tilt stopper 5 by screwing into the screw holes 23, 23 of the main body 17 through the mounting holes 27, 27 of the tool 18 and tightening with normal force.

  In this state, the sliding protrusions 24, 24 of the operation tools 18, 18 are located at the uppermost portions of the restriction holes 20, 20, and the stopper 5 moves up and down within the range of the restriction holes 20, 20. It is possible. After that, the armband 2 is set in a vertical state, the guide protrusion 13 is inserted into the guide portion 6 from above the support column 1, the stopper 8 is fixed, and the lid 3 is fixed and assembled.

  As described above, when the mounting screw 28 is tightened with a normal force, the main body 17 and the operation stoppers 18 and 18 are integrated in a state in which the vertical stopper 5 is movable up and down with respect to the support column 1. When the mounting screw 28 is tightened with a strong force, the main body 17 and the operating tools 18 and 18 can be placed in a state in which they cannot move with respect to the column 1 by a frictional force with the column 1 strongly sandwiched.

  When the armband 2 is moved downward in the vertical state, the guide protrusions 13 and 13 slide in the guide portion 6 and the outer sides of the protrusions 14 and 14 are the end portions of the opening above the lid 3. And the inner side of the ridges 14 and 14 abut against the outer stoppers 11 and 11 of the lid 3, the armband 2 is guided, and the lower end thereof abuts against the stop 9 and is in the stored state. (See FIG. 6).

  When the armband 2 is moved upward from this stored state and the guide protrusions 13 and 13 come into contact with the guide cover 10 of the lid 3, the armband 2 is allowed to rotate. When the armband 2 is rotated downward from this state, the protrusions 14 and 14 at the base end thereof are pressed against the inclined surfaces 26 and 26 of the stopper 5 main body 17, and the stopper 5 It slides downward against the elastic force of the compression spring 19 (see FIG. 7).

  Then, when the arm rod 2 is further rotated downward and the main body 17 of the pawl stopper 5 reaches the notches 16 and 16 of the arm rod 2, the pawl stopper 5 moves upward due to the elastic force of the compression spring 19. The tilt stopper 5 is in a state in which the receiving portions 29 and 29 engage with the protrusions 14 and 14 at the base end terminal portion of the armband 2 to disable the upward rotation of the armband 2, At the same time, the base end terminal portion of the armband 2 comes into contact with the receiving device 7, and the upper edge portion of the base end portion comes into contact with the stopper 8, so that the armband 2 is set in a use state inclined obliquely upward. (See FIG. 3).

  The armband 2 can be set in a use state in which the base end abuts against the stopper 8 and the receiving member 7 and is inclined obliquely upward. The stopper 8 receives a large load during use. The catch stopper 7, which is a tilt stopper 5, simply has a function of disabling the upward movement of the armband 2, and therefore does not require great strength.

  In this embodiment, when the armband 2 is set to the use state, the tilt stopper 5 automatically engages with the base end portion of the armband 2 so that the upward movement of the armband 2 is disabled. Therefore, there is no need to perform troublesome operations to make the tilt stop 5 function, and it is safe without worrying about forgetting to make the tilt stop 5 function.

  When the armband 2 tries to rotate upward in this state, the protrusions 14 and 14 at the base end ends of the both surfaces of the armband 2 are moved to the receiving portions 29 and 29 of the main bodies 17 and 17 of the tilt stop 5. The armband 2 is in a state in which it cannot be rotated upward, and a clothes rack is hung on the basket receiving portion 12, and a laundry with a large surface area such as a sheet is dried there. Even if a strong wind blows, the armband 2 does not rotate upward, but slides down and falls, causing the laundry to become dirty or the clothes drying apparatus to be broken. It can be prevented in advance.

  In order to store the armband 2 in a vertical state, the operation tool 18 or 18 is operated to move the lever stopper 5 downward to release the engagement between the lever stopper 5 and the armband 2 (see FIG. 4). The armband 2 is in a state in which it can be rotated upward around the guide protrusions 13 and 13 from the obliquely upward use state. When the armband 2 is rotated upward, the outer side of the ridges 14 and 14 comes into contact with the terminal end of the opening above the lid 3, and the inner side of the ridges 14 and 14 is the lid 3. The armband 2 comes into a vertical state (see FIG. 5) in contact with the outer stoppers 11 and 11, and when it moves downward as it is, the base end portion of the armband 2 comes into contact with the stop 9 and enters the retracted state. (See FIG. 6).

  In addition, depending on the location where the clothes drying device is installed, there are places where there is no need to worry about the laundry being blown by strong winds, and there is no need for a function to stop the swing. In such places, the operation tools 18 and 18 are operated. Then, when the tilt stopper 5 is moved downward and the mounting screw 28 is tightened with a strong force, the tilt stopper 5 is attached to the pillar 1 by a frictional force with the main body 17 and the operating tools 18 and 18 sandwiching the pillar 1 strongly. In contrast, the arm stopper 2 can be fixed and maintained at a position where the arm stopper 2 does not come into contact with the arm arm 2 when the arm arm 2 is rotated. It is not necessary to operate the operation tools 18 and 18 of the stop stopper 5 for each state, so that trouble is eliminated.

  That is, in this embodiment, in addition to the configuration of the invention of claim 1, there is a configuration that can maintain the tilt stopper 5 at a position that does not engage with the armband 2, and by this configuration, In addition to the effect described in the effect of the invention, in the installation place that does not require the function of the tilt stop, the operating tools 18 and 18 of the tilt stop 5 are operated one by one when changing the use state and the storage state. It is possible to achieve an effect that the troublesomeness to do is eliminated.

  In this embodiment, as shown in paragraphs 0021 and 0022, when the arm stop 2 is rotated downward from the state in which the armband 2 is upward and vertical as shown in FIG. In order to automatically move by the elastic force of the compression spring 19 and disable the upward movement of the armband 2, and to enable the upward movement of the armband 2, 5 is manually moved, but both the manual movement and the stopper 5 are moved to change the state in which the upward rotation of the armband 2 is disabled and the state in which it is enabled. It can also be set as the structure performed by. Also in this case, the tilt stopper 5 can be maintained at a position where it does not engage with the armband 2.
