【Example】

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view showing an assembled state of an example of an indoor clothes dryer 1 of the present invention. The indoor clothes dryer 1 of the present invention basically comprises a leg 3, a first pipe 5, a second pipe 7, a third pipe 9, a hot air supply means 11 and a cover 13. .

FIG. 2 is an exploded view of the indoor clothes dryer 1 of FIG. As shown in the figure, the hot air supply means 13 is attachable to and detachable from the second pipe 7, and the first pipe 5 is attachable to and detachable from the second pipe 7 and the third pipe 9, respectively. Yes, the leg part 3 is removable from the second pipe, the cover 13 is removable from the entire dryer, and can be folded and stored.

The warm air supply means 11 is not particularly limited. Any device can be used as long as it has a regular warm air generating mechanism. As an example, the enclosure 15 contains, for example, a nichrome wire heater, a ceramic heater, and a motor drive fan (not shown), is connected to a power source (not shown) by a power cord 17, and has a timer / switch 19 as well. And so on. The warm air supply means 11 sucks air from the air suction port 21 with a motor driven fan, heats it with a heater, and blows it out as warm air from an air outlet (not shown) on the lower surface.

As shown in FIG. 2, the second pipe 7 includes two hollow pipes 23 a and 23 b intersecting each other in a substantially cruciform shape, and a hollow pedestal 25 provided at an intersection of these pipes. And have. On the upper surface of this hollow frame, there is provided a warm air inlet 27 which is engaged with the warm air outlet on the lower surface of the warm air supply means 11. The pedestal 25 is not limited to the rectangular shape shown in the figure, and may be disk-shaped. The warm air blown into the hollow mount 25 is supplied to the second pipe 9 through the first pipe 5 as well as the pipes 23a and 23b. Each of the two hollow pipes 23a and 23b intersecting each other in a substantially cross shape is closed at each end, and a substantially rectangular annular frame 29 connecting the ends is provided. The frame 29 not only enhances the strength of the pipes 23a and 23b, but also serves as a cover receiver when the cover 13 is applied.

FIG. 3 is a bottom view of the second pipe 7. On the lower surface side of the pipe 23a, a plurality of hot air blowout holes 31 are opened. The number of blowing holes 31 to be opened is not particularly limited. It can be appropriately selected according to the blowing capacity of the warm air supply means 11. Since the hanger 33 (see FIG. 1) on which the laundry is hung is suspended in the pipe 23a, it is preferable to have a large number of holes so that a relatively large amount of warm air can be blown out. If desired, the hot air outlet 31 may be provided on the lower surface of the tube 23b. When the pipe 23b is not provided with the hot air outlet, the pipe 23b does not need to be hollow and may be a solid arm. A connection port 35 for inserting and engaging the first pipe 5 is provided on the lower surface side of the hollow pedestal 25. By inserting and engaging the first pipe 5 in the connection port 35, a part of the warm air blown into the hollow pedestal 25 is distributed to the third pipe 9 via the first pipe 5. can do.

Referring again to FIG. The third pipe 9 has a hollow joint 37 for inserting and engaging the first pipe 5 at a substantially central portion. On the outer peripheral surface of the joint 37, a fixture 39 for the leg portion 3 is arranged. The leg fixture 39 is, for example, a hollow tube, and the leg 3 can be inserted and engaged from the lower side of the tube. An opening for inserting the first pipe 5 is provided on the upper surface of the joint 37, and a hollow pipe 41 intersects with the cylindrical joint 37 so as to be orthogonal thereto. Needless to say, the lower surface side of the joint 37 is closed. Both ends of the hollow tube 41 are closed, and a warm air blowing hole 31 is opened on the upper surface side. The presence of the downward warm air blowing holes of the pipes 23a and 23b and the upward warm air blowing holes of the pipe 41 allows the laundry to be dried in a short time.

The joint 37 can also be used as a separate member from the third pipe 9. FIG. 4 shows such a joint and a third pipe 9. In this case, the joint 37 has an opening for connection with the first pipe on the upper surface side and an opening for connection with the third pipe 9 on the lower surface side. The upper surface side opening and the lower surface side opening communicate with each other. The joint is not limited to the cylindrical shape as shown, but may be a prismatic shape. Further, the leg portion 3 can be implemented with four legs instead of three legs. When using the joint 37 as shown in FIG. 4, it is preferable that the third pipe 9 be formed in a T shape. The protrusion opening 43 at the substantially central portion is inserted into the lower surface side opening of the joint 37 and engaged. Means of engagement between such members are well known to those skilled in the art.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the cover 13 in a three-dimensional state. The cover 13 is provided with an opening 43 for passing the warm air inlet 27 of the mount 25 of the second pipe 7 on the upper surface and an opening 45 for passing the leg 3 on the lower surface side. Further, a fastener 47 for forming an opening for taking in and out laundry is provided on the side surface. The shape of the fastener opening 47 may be any shape such as a U shape or a "character shape" other than the illustrated crank shape. When the cover 13 is applied, the fastener 47 is fully opened, First, the joint 37 is put in the cover, and the leg 3 is inserted through the opening 45 to engage with the leg fixing member 39 of the joint 37. After that, the lower end of the first pipe 5 is engaged with the joint 37, and then, The second pipe 7 is engaged with the upper end of the first pipe 5. In this state, the cover 13 is covered from the upper surface side of the second pipe 7 to cover the entire first, second and third pipes. At this time, the hot air inlet 27 on the upper surface of the second pipe frame 25 is projected from the opening 43 on the upper surface of the cover.The warm air supply means 11 is connected to the hot air inlet 27, and the inside of the cover 13 is connected. Put the clothes hangers 33 on The drying process can be started by suspending the hanger 33 on the pipe 23a of the second pipe 7 and closing the fastener 47. The material of the cover 13 is not particularly limited. It is sufficient that the cover has moisture permeability that allows the steam generated by wind drying to escape to the outside.For example, heat-resistant nylon is suitable as a material for such a cover.

Since the dryer of the present invention blows warm air onto the laundry from above and below, the drying time can be greatly shortened. For example, when 10 ordinary long-sleeved Y-shirts for adults were stored and warm air was blown from the top and bottom, it took about 2 hours to completely dry, but warm air was blown from only the upper part. It took about 2 hours and 40 minutes. Therefore, even when the hot air supply means having the same capacity is used, it is better in terms of drying efficiency to blow hot air from above and below rather than only from above.

When the dryer of the present invention is not used as a dryer, it can be used as an ordinary clothes stand by removing the hot air supply means 11 and the cover 13. In addition, when it is not used as a clothes drying stand or when moving, etc., all the constituent parts can be disassembled into pieces as shown in Fig. 2, so that it is easy to store, store and transport. But it's alright.

The first pipe, the second pipe, and the third pipe can all be made of metal or heat-resistant plastic (for example, vinyl chloride). The legs can also be made of metal or plastic.

[0020]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the clothes dryer of the present invention, the first pipe, the second pipe and the third pipe are in communication with each other, and the second pipe and the third pipe are connected to each other. Since the warm air blowout hole is provided, the warm air can be blown from both upper and lower directions of the clothes by connecting the warm air supply means to the frame of the second pipe. As a result, the drying time can be greatly shortened. When it is not used, it can be used as an upright type clothes rack or clothes stand by removing the warm air supply means and the cover, and further, the legs, the first pipe, the second pipe and the third pipe can be used. The entire pipe can be stored in a disassembled state by removing the pipe.
