Description

  The present invention relates to a clothesline (towel rack) for drying clothes, towels, etc. indoors.

To dry (dry) laundry in the room, it is often the case that a rope is stretched in the room and clothes are put on it, or a towel rack as shown in Fig. 1 (A) and (B) is used. In addition, in hotels, etc., there are many cases where towel racks are used as shown in Fig. 2. In addition, there is a technology disclosed in registered utility model No. 3044364 as a device for drying towels at inns.

Registered Utility Model No. 3044364

However, with the towel rack and ring clothesline in the shape of Fig. 1, for example, the distance between the objects to be dried becomes narrower near the center, and uneven drying between the inside and the outside can occur. In the case of the shape shown in Fig. 1, many laundry items cannot be suspended.

  Further, in the towel rack as shown in FIG. 2, both ends of a plurality of parallel rods on which towels are to be applied are fixed to two support rods. It must be folded in half. For example, if you hang shirts or other underwear, you cannot pass a stick through the sleeve. Therefore, it will be dried in a stacked state, it takes time to dry.

  To deal with this problem, for example, it is often done by hanging a vinyl rope for washing in the room and drying the washed towel. However, the vinyl rope may fall due to the weight of the towel, and the laundry may be dropped. It cannot be properly dried. As a solution to this, there is a technique disclosed in registered utility model No. 3044364, but it is a large-scale one, and the above problem, that is, when using underwear for shirts, etc. , You can not put a stick through the sleeve. Therefore, it will be dried in a stacked state, it does not solve the problem that it takes time to dry.

40 years have passed since I started looking for something like this, but I haven't found it yet. I started thinking about something that couldn't be helped and came up with something like this. I'm glad that it somehow takes shape.

According to the present invention, in a type of clothes drying tool (towel rack or the like) in which an object to be dried is applied to a plurality of parallel bars, one end of the parallel bars is fixed to one support bar in a rotatable state, and the multiple ends of the parallel bars are fixed to the other support bar. It is characterized by being fixed to the bar in a separable state

The first invention is
A clothesline for hanging laundry,
A plurality of clothespins for hanging the laundry;
Two receiving bars arranged in a relative relationship to hold the plurality of clothes-bars in parallel;
A rotating shaft that rotatably supports one end of the clothes bar with respect to the one receiving bar;
A locking part for locking the other end of the clothes-drying bar to the other receiving bar;
A clothesline with

A second invention is a support for supporting the support bar provided in each of the support bars in the first invention,
A support part for allowing the column to stand on its own;
A clothesline with

According to a third invention, in the first or second invention,
Each of the support bars is a clothes-drying tool that can rotate in the center.

A fourth invention is any one of the first to third inventions,
The said latching | locking part is groove shape, Comprising: It is the clothes-drying tool latched when the other end part of the said clothes-drying rod is inserted in a groove | channel.

In a fifth invention according to any one of the first to third inventions,
The said latching | locking part is a clothes drying tool which pinches | interposes and fixes the said clothes-drying bar with a spring.

According to the present invention,
(1) Convenient for drying baby and infant underwear, T-shirts, pants and socks. Drying is quicker because the wind hits evenly than the ring clothesline.
(2) When the underwear is hung outside (especially young women's items), it can be devised so that it is not seen by others as much as possible. (3) Useful for elderly people. As I grow older, my back, shoulders, hands, etc. hurt and I feel inconvenienced in my daily life. You may not be able to reach the clothesline at a high position, or even if you reach it, you will not be able to use the clothespin. The result is that the weather is nice but you can't hang your laundry outside (you don't have to use the clothespin so you may be blown away by the wind). If you can dry clothes in a low position, I think it will be easier for you to do and it will not be a pain for you to do laundry. I think that the number of elderly people (including living alone) will increase in the future. I always think that my underwear is something I want to wash in the bath without disturbing others. (I think it can be used conveniently in such cases)

(4) With the Olympics ahead, I think the number of hotels and inns will increase. I think that users will be pleased if there is a clothesline in the guest room (toilet, etc.) (I have seen that towel drying has been placed, but only a few towels can be dried) did). Travelers want to make as little luggage as possible. Never used a small amount of luggage efficiently. For this reason, if there is a clothesline, it will help to use it efficiently by washing it in the bath.

To keep the humidity in the room, some people leave the bathroom door open or put a bath towel on the back of the chair, but if it is clothesline, you can carry it in the room and dry the laundry. It can be done at the same time, and this will also help increase efficiency. I think that it will be used by many people such as elderly facilities and hospitals.

An example of a hanger used in a conventional room is shown below. Here is another example of a hanger used in a conventional room. Shows the clothesline of the present invention. It is a figure which shows the structure which the clothes-pick can rotate in the clothes-drying tool of this invention. In the clothesline of the present invention, it is a diagram showing a recess (L-shaped) provided in the support bar. This is a case where it bends at the center of the example with the L-shaped recess in Fig. 5. This is the case where it does not bend at the center of the example with the L-shaped recess in Fig. 5. It is a figure which shows the other recessed part (diagonal type) provided in the support bar in the clothes drying apparatus of this invention. It is a figure which shows the other recessed part (vertical type) provided in the support bar in the clothes drying tool of this invention. It is a figure which shows the example which provided the spring in the clothesliner of this invention. It is another figure which shows the example which provided the spring in the clothesliner of this invention.

Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 show a conventional clothesline. These have the disadvantages mentioned above.

  Fig. 3 shows the (indoor) clothes dryer 1 of the present invention. There are 6 clothespins 2 for putting towels and other items to dry. The six clothes-drying rods 2 are supported by the support rods 3 at both ends. The support bar 3 is supported by the support column 4 at the center 31, and the lower part of the vertical bar 4 is supported by the support unit 5. The support bar 3 can be folded when not in use by making it rotatable at the center 31.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the clothes-drying bar 2 is fixed to the support bar 3 with a structure 32 that can rotate. As shown in FIG. 5, the other end is fixed to a recess (concave portion) 33 provided in the support bar 3 in a removable state. In this case, the recess 33 is L-shaped.

Fig. 6 shows the arrangement of the L-shaped recess 33 shown in Fig. 5. In the case of this figure, the support bar 3 is bent in the direction of the arrow at the center 31. Bending reduces the space required when not in use. The reason for the L-shaped recess 33 is to prevent the clothes-drying bar 2 from coming off the receiving bar 3 when the receiving bar 3 is tilted in the direction of the arrow.
In the case of a structure that can be bent at the central portion 31, the shape of the recess 33 should be symmetrical.

FIG. 7 shows an example in which the support bar 3 is not bent. The arrow indicates the direction of rotation of the support bar 3. All L-shapes are oriented in the same direction.
FIG. 8 shows an example of the oblique recess 33. Also in this figure, the support bar 3 is bent at the center 31 in the direction of the arrow.

FIG. 9 shows an example of the vertical recess 33. In this case, when the support bar 3 is vertical, the clothes bar 2 may come off. In addition, by making the entrance of the recess 33 a curved surface, the clothes-drying bar 2 can easily enter the receiving bar 3, but it is common to all the recesses 33.

FIG. 10 shows an example in which a spring 6 is attached to the support bar 3 to hold the clothes bar 2. Push in the clothes bar 2 from above. When attaching the spring 6, as shown in FIG. 11, the rods at both ends of the clothes-drying bar 2 are fixed to the receiving bar 3 in a rectangular shape, and only the inner clothes-drying bar 2 can be attached and detached. Alternatively, it is possible to hang a rectangular frame with a chain or the like (with the spring attached side down). The arrow in the figure is the direction to remove the clothes bar 2.

In addition, although the clothes-drying tool 1 shown in FIG. 3 has the support bar 3 supported by the support column 4, the case where it is supported by the both ends of the support bar 3 is also within the scope of the present invention.

The clothesline 1 of the present invention can be used through a stick in a sleeve, underwear, etc., like a traditional clothesline. In addition, by putting a clothespin with a loop through the clothes-drying bar 2 in advance, you can easily dry socks, handkerchiefs, baby accessories, women's underwear, etc., and drying can be used quickly and conveniently. Women's underwear, in particular, uses a ring clothesline, etc., and it is less likely to resemble humans than it is to hang up high, so it can be safely and safely dried.
