In this invention, an arm hook having a plurality of hook receiving holes is attached to a support so as to be rotatable and slidable, and the arm hook is used obliquely upward. It is a clothes-drying device that can be changed to a storage state that is vertically stored in the support body, leaving the tip portion, and in the storage state, a part of the hook receiving hole is left on the upper part and the armband is supported In this case, the clothes rod in the hook receiving hole is held in contact with the upper end of the support.

JP-A-10-137497 JP-A-9-327596

  In a clothes drying device that can be set to a storage state that is at least one of diagonally upward or horizontal use and a vertical storage state, the clothesline that is inserted into the bottom receiving hole at the time of storage starts from the floor surface of the attached veranda. When the child is in a low position, it is possible that a child will climb on the clothesline and fall off the veranda. There is a problem that it is dangerous if it is in a low position, and it needs to be stored in a position as high as possible.

  In the former conventional example, when the armband is stopped at a high position in order to raise the position of the clothespin during storage, the clothespin inserted through the hook receiving hole at the upper end of the armarm protrudes from the upper part of the veranda. There is a problem of deteriorating the appearance of installed apartments and houses. In addition, if the hook receiving hole at the lowermost part of the armband is provided at a high position, the laundry cannot be dried in the vicinity of the base end of the armband during use. Since the distance to the basket receiving hole is close, there is a problem that the interval between the clothes baskets inserted through the basket receiving hole is narrowed, the ventilation becomes poor and the laundry is difficult to dry.

  Furthermore, in the latter conventional example, since the armband is housed in the support, there is a problem that the cross-section of the support becomes large and the cost is high, and the appearance is not good. An object of the present invention is to solve these problems.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention has a generally elongated plate-shaped arm rod having a collar receiving hole, which is substantially perpendicular to at least one of the upward and horizontal use states, and the collar receiving hole extends from the support. In a clothes-drying device that can be changed to a storage state that protrudes forward and is slidable with respect to the support when in a substantially vertical state, the armband has a length of the armband at the base end portion. A variable hook receiving hole that is long in the direction is provided, and a movable plate is attached to a position where the variable hook receiving hole can be covered from the base end side so as to be movable in the longitudinal direction of the armband, and a contact portion is provided on the movable plate. A support part is provided on the support body, and when the armband slides downward with respect to the support body in a substantially vertical state, the contact part of the movable plate attached to the armarm is provided on the support part provided on the support body. The movable plate stops at that position, and the armband slides downward, so that the movable plate is opposed to the armband. It is configured to move relatively upward and cover the variable hook receiving hole while leaving a part of the upper part. In the stored state, the movable plate moves upward relative to the armband and is variable. The clothespin that is inserted through the hook receiving hole and supported by the movable plate moves away from the base end side of the armband, and in use, the movable plate moves to the base end side of the armchair, The clothespin inserted through the receiving hole and supported by the movable plate is configured to approach the base end side of the armband.

  As described above, according to the present invention, the laundry basket inserted through the variable hook receiving hole can approach the base end side of the armband and hang the laundry there in the state of use. The space for drying is not reduced, and the space between the arm and the clothes rack that passes through the hole on the tip side of the armband is widened to improve ventilation and make the laundry easier to dry. Since the clothespin inserted into the receiving hole moves away from the base end side of the armband, the height of the bottom clothespin that becomes a foothold is high, and the child is attached from the attached veranda etc. There is an effect that it is possible to reduce the risk of falling on the clothesline.

  In the retracted state in which the armband 3 is vertical as shown in FIG. 2, the rail portion 27 is slidably engaged with the guide portion 30 of the lid 5, and the retaining projections 19 and 19 are provided on the support body 2. The guide part 10 is slidably engaged and abuts against the upper surfaces of the stoppers 17 and 17 (see FIG. 8). In this state, the abutting portions 8, 8 of the movable plates 4, 4 engage with the moving grooves 11, 11 of the support 2 and abut against the upper surfaces of the receiving portions 9, 9 (FIG. 3, FIG. 7 and FIG. 8), the movable plates 4 and 4 move relatively above the armband 3 and cover most of the upper part of the variable hook receiving hole 7 from the base end side, In the state where the length of the variable hook receiving hole 7 visible from the side surface is the shortest, the clothes rack 32 inserted through the variable hook receiving hole 7 and supported by the movable plates 4 and 4 is held at a high position from the floor surface of the veranda. (See FIGS. 2 and 3). Note that. In the state of FIG. 2, the support 2 is set at the lowest position with respect to the fixture 1.

  When the arm 3 is slid upward from this stored state, the movable plates 4 and 4 do not slide upward together with the arm 3 at first (they are stopped at that position by their own weight), and only the arm 3 is The movable plates 4 and 4 are moved toward the base end side of the armband 3 (the contact portions 8 and 8 are still in contact with the receiving portions 9 and 9). From the state where the length of the variable hook receiving hole 7 visible from the side surface is short (see FIGS. 8 and 10), it gradually becomes longer.

  When the thick portions 28 and 28 of the movable plates 4 and 4 come into contact with the lower edge of the variable hook receiving hole 7, the movable plates 4 and 4 come closest to the base end side of the arm rod 3, and the variable hook receiving hole 7 is the state that can be seen the longest from the side, that is, the movable plates 4 and 4 are moved to the lowest position of the armband 3 (see FIGS. 9 and 11).

  In this state, since the thick portions 28 and 28 are in contact with the lower edge of the variable rod receiving hole 7, the movable plates 4 and 4 are also moved upward together with the armband 3, and the contact portions 8 and 8 are Moves upward in the movement grooves 11 and 11 of the support body 2 away from the receiving portions 9 and 9, further disengages from the movement grooves 11 and 11, engages with the movement grooves 31 and 31 of the lid 5, and moves upward from there When the arm 3 is further slid upward, the retaining projections 19 and 19 are disengaged from the guide portion 10, and the retaining projections 19 and 19 are formed on the arcuate edges on the grooves 18 and 18 of the lid 5. While contacting, the armband 3 rotates forward.

  The base end surface (lower end surface) of the armband 3 comes into contact with the receiving plate 21, the retaining projections 19 and 19 come into contact with the upper plate of the lid 5 and the edges of the grooves 18 and 18 (see FIG. 5), and the rail portion 27 comes into contact with the receiving projections 20 and 20, and the armband 3 stops in an obliquely upward use state, and the clothes rod 32 inserted into the variable rod receiving hole 7 is located on the most proximal side of the armband 3. It will be in the state contact | abutted to the moved movable plate 4 * 4 front-end edge, and the distance with the clothes rod 32 inserted in the hook receiving hole 6 of the front-end | tip part of the armband 3 will become large (refer FIG. 1). Note that. In the state of FIG. 1, the support 2 is set to the highest position with respect to the fixture 1.
