Description

The present invention relates to a clothes hanger in which a plurality of pinches are attached to a frame body.

A clothes hanger with multiple pinches attached to a square or round frame is widely known. By sandwiching the laundry in a pinch and hanging it on a clothesline, you can dry a large number of laundry at once.

In a clothes-drying hanger having a large frame for drying a large amount of laundry, a clothes-drying hanger in which two frames are connected by a hinge is also known so that the clothes can be stored compactly when not in use (see, for example, Patent Document 1). ).

Japanese Patent No. 5786626

Although the clothes-drying hanger described in Patent Document 1 can be folded and made compact when stored, the space occupied when drying the laundry should be changed because only two frames can be taken side by side when drying the laundry. Can't. Therefore, there is room for improvement in that a certain amount of space is always required for use.

Based on the above circumstances, it is an object of the present invention to provide a clothes-drying hanger capable of drying a large number of laundry and changing the occupied space when drying the laundry.

The present invention is a clothes-drying hanger including a first frame body and a second frame body connected so as to be relatively rotatable, and a plurality of pinches attached to the first frame body and the second frame body.
This clothes-drying hanger includes a first hook attached to the first frame and a vertical connecting portion attached to the second frame.
The first frame body and the second frame body are configured so that they can be disconnected when the angle formed by each other is within a predetermined range.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 9.
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a state in which the clothes-drying hanger (hereinafter, simply referred to as “hanger”) 1 according to the present embodiment is viewed from the front side. The hanger 1 includes a frame portion 10, a hook attached to the frame portion 10, and a plurality of pinches.

The frame portion 10 is configured such that the first frame body 11 and the second frame body 12 are rotatably connected in a state of being arranged in the left-right direction. Each of the frames 11 and 12 has a plurality of beams 15 for attaching a pinch. In the present embodiment, the first frame body 11 and the second frame body 12 are both square in a plan view and have substantially the same shape and size, but even if their shapes and dimensions are different except for the connecting portion. Good.
The material of the frame portion 10 is not particularly limited, but it is convenient to manufacture by resin molding.

Each of the frames 11 and 12 has a hinge portion that can be connected and detached. Since the structure of the hinge portion is common, the hinge portion of the first frame 11 is shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 to explain the structure. In FIGS. 2 and 3, most of the pinches are omitted to make the drawings easier to see.

As shown in FIG. 2, the hinge portion 20 provided on the right side 11a of the first frame body 11 has a hole portion 21 provided on the front side and a shaft portion 26 provided on the rear side. The hole 21 has a through hole 21a extending in the front-rear direction. A stopper 22 projects in front of the hole 21.
The shaft portion 26 has a cylindrical rotating shaft 27 having a diameter that allows the shaft portion 26 to enter the through hole 21a. The rotating shaft 27 extends forward from the shaft portion 26. As shown in FIG. 3 when the first frame body 11 is viewed from the rear, the shaft portion 26 is formed with a notch 26a penetrating in the front-rear direction.
The hinge portion provided on the left side of the second frame body 12 also has a hole portion 21 and a shaft portion 26. Although not shown, in the hinge portion of the second frame body 12, the hole portion 21 is arranged on the rear side and the shaft portion 26 is arranged on the front side. The stopper 22 is located behind the hole, and the rotation shaft 27 extends rearward.

As shown in FIG. 1, a first metal hook 31 is attached to the first frame 11. The first hook 31 is connected to the four corners of the first frame body 11. A resin-made second hook 35 that can be opened and closed is connected to the second frame body 12. The second hook 35 is connected to the four corners of the second frame body 12.

A vertical connecting portion 36 is connected to the second hook 35. The vertical connecting portion 36 has a ring and can be hung on the ring through the first hook 31.
The vertical connecting portion 36 can be extended from the folded state shown in FIG. 1 as shown in FIG. 4, and the position of the ring 37 can be moved downward.

The pinches 100 are attached to the beams 15 and the sides parallel to the beams 15 at equal intervals in the frames 11 and 12, respectively.
FIG. 5A is a perspective view showing a pinch 100. The basic structure of the pinch 100 is known, and the first member 101 and the second member 102, which are combined so as to be relatively rotatable and the tip portion can be opened and closed, and the first member 101 and the second member 102 are attached so as to close. It includes a spring that urges the first member 101 and the second member 102 into a closed state.

FIG. 5B is a diagram showing a state in which the first member 101 and the second member 102 of the pinch 100 are removed. The pinch 100 includes a locking member 110 for attaching to the frame body. The locking member 110 has a main body portion 111 extending linearly and an arch portion 115 connected to the main body portion 111. The first end portion 111a of the main body portion 111 is formed in a C shape, and the pinch 100 can be attached to the frame body by hanging it on a ring 16 (see FIG. 2) provided on the frame body. The second end portion 111b of the main body portion 111 is hung on a spring 103 that urges the first member 101 and the second member 102. The second end 111b is provided with an auxiliary hook 112 that can be used for various purposes.

Both ends of the arch portion 115 are connected to the proximal ends of the first member 101 and the second member 102, respectively, and a part of the other pinch is between the proximal ends of the first member 101 and the second member 102, respectively. Entry is suppressed.

The operation when the hanger 1 configured as described above is used will be described. In the state where the first frame body 11 and the second frame body 12 are connected, the first hook 31 and the second hook 35 are hung on a clothes drying rod or the like to dry the laundry or the like in the same manner as the conventional clothes drying hanger. be able to. In the state shown in FIG. 1, when the second frame body 12 tries to slide forward with respect to the first frame body 11, the shaft portion 26 hits the stopper 22 at the hinge portion 20 as shown in FIG. The connection between the one frame body 11 and the second frame body 12 is not released.

When the second frame body 12 is rotated downward relative to the first frame body 11 about the hinge portion so that the two frame bodies 12 form a substantially right angle (90 degrees), the stopper 22 and the notch 26a are formed. The phases around the rotation shaft 27 match. If the first frame body 11 and the second frame body 12 are relatively moved in the front-rear direction in this state, the connection between the first frame body 11 and the second frame body 12 can be released and separated.
Since the first frame body 11 and the second frame body 12 can be disconnected only when they are formed at a substantially right angle, the first frame body 11 and the second frame body 12 and When the second frame body 12 is folded in two and stored, the connection is not unintentionally released.

In the state where the first frame 11 and the second frame 12 are separated, the laundry and the like can be dried in various ways. Both ends of the article to be dried are sandwiched between the pinch 100 of the first frame 11 and the pinch 100 of the second frame 12, respectively, and the first frame 11 and the second frame 12 are separated according to the length of the article. When hung on a clothesline or the like, as shown in FIG. 7, the article Sb1 is dried in the space between the first frame 11 and the second frame 12, and as shown in FIG. 8, the first frame 11 and Article Sb2 longer than the total length of the second frame body 12 can be dried.

Further, when the vertical connecting portion 36 is extended and the first hook 31 is hung on the ring 37, as shown in FIG. 9, the first frame body 11 and the second frame body are arranged in the vertical direction, and the occupied space in the left-right direction is increased. While making it smaller, it is possible to dry laundry or the like to the same extent as when the first frame 11 and the second frame are connected.
When there is little laundry or the like, it is of course possible to use only the first frame 11 or the second frame 12 and dry it compactly.

When the hanger 1 is not used, the first frame body 11 and the second frame body 12 can be stored compactly by rotating them relative to each other and folding them.
In a folded clothes hanger, a pinch attached to one frame approaches a pinch attached to the other frame, and vice versa. At this time, if a part of the approaching pinches enters between the base ends of the first member and the second member of the pinch, the pinches become entangled with each other, which causes a problem such as difficulty in deploying.
In the pinch 100 according to the hanger 1 of the present embodiment, since both ends of the arch portion 115 are connected to the base ends of the first member 101 and the second member 102, respectively, entanglement between the pinches is suitably suppressed. It can be folded and unfolded smoothly.

The pinch 100 and the locking member 110 are not only connected to the first member 101 and the second member 102 by the arch portion 115, but also connected to the spring 103 by the main body portion 111 which is hard to be deformed. Therefore, even when the pinch 100 sandwiches the laundry or the like, it is difficult for the pinch 100 to move downward relative to the frame connected by the weight of the sandwiched object, and the first member 101 and the first member 101 sandwiching the laundry or the like No force is generated to open the second member 102. As a result, it is preferably prevented that the sandwiched laundry or the like falls.
Further, if the article has a part such as a belt loop or a shoulder strap, it can be hung on the auxiliary hook 112 without being sandwiched between the first member 101 and the second member 102 and dried. In this case, even if the holding force between the first member 101 and the second member 102 is not sufficient for the weight of the sandwiched member, the first member 101 and the second member 102 can be dried while being prevented from falling or the like. As a result, it is not necessary to make the pinch holding force excessively large in order to prevent the pinch from falling, and it is easy to set the pinch force according to the article for which it is not desired to leave a pinch mark. Therefore, it is not necessary to use a plurality of types of pinches having different holding forces in order to handle various articles.

As described above, according to the hanger 1 of the present embodiment, a large number of laundry can be dried, and the occupied space when the laundry is dried can be changed. Therefore, the laundry and the like can be dried in various ways according to the various lifestyles of the user.

Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the description of the above-described embodiment, and various changes are made to each component within a range that does not deviate from the gist of the present invention. It can be deleted or deleted. Some changes are illustrated below, but not all, but other changes are possible. These changes may be combined as appropriate.

The relative angle at which the first frame body and the second frame body can be disconnected is not limited to a substantially right angle in the above embodiment, and is 45 degrees or 270 degrees (the second frame body 12 with respect to the first frame body 11). Can be set as appropriate, such as). The angle range in which the connection can be released can also be appropriately set, such as a set angle of ± 15 degrees. Relative angles larger than 180 degrees, such as 270 degrees, are unlikely to occur naturally during normal use of the hanger 1, so if the angle at which the hanger can be disconnected is set in this way, unintended disconnection will occur during normal use. Can be suppressed more reliably.

-In the pinch 100, the auxiliary hook is not essential and may be omitted.
-The pinch may be distributed independently as a replacement for dealing with deterioration over time.
-The pinch used for the clothes hanger of the present invention is not limited to the pinch 100 described above. Therefore, a general pinch having no entanglement prevention function may be attached to the frame portion.

-The first hook may be made of resin and the second hook may be made of metal. Alternatively, the first hook and the second hook may be the same.
-The second hook 35 and the vertical connecting portion 36 do not necessarily have to be connected, and may be separate bodies.
-The vertical connecting portion may be configured so that it can be set to a plurality of lengths by a telescopic structure or the like.
