[Embodiment of the invention]

 Next, an embodiment of the foldable clothes dryer according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a main pole composed of a pipe having high strength such as aluminum. The main pole 1 has a canopy 4 attached to an upper end 1a and a lower end 1b. It has a bottom cap 7 which is screwed and whose lower end surface is formed in a sharp shape.

A plurality of, for example, four hinge bars 5 each made of an aluminum channel material are attached to a plurality of mounting seats 4a projecting radially from the peripheral surface of the canopy 4, for example, four mounting seats 4a. The ends are rotatably supported by pins 4c supported by screws 4b. The tips of the plurality of hinge bars 5 are rotatably supported by pins 2f supported by screws 2d on the intermediate portions 2c of the four main bars 2, for example.

Each of the plurality of main bars 2 is formed of an aluminum channel material similarly to the hinge bar 5, and the base ends of each of the plurality of main bars 2 move vertically to the main pole 1. Plural locations formed on the peripheral surface of the movable block 3 fitted as much as possible, for example, pins 4g supported by screws 2b on four mounting seats 2a are rotatably supported in the radial direction. A rubber cap 10 is fitted on the tip of each main bar 2.

Insertion holes 2e penetrating in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the main bars 2 are formed at appropriate intervals, and the main bar 2 is inserted into the insertion holes 2e at the same position. The cords 9 are inserted one by one and stretched in a concentric circle.

Further, a stopper 6 for holding the movable block 3 at a position where the main bar 2 is deployed is provided at an upper portion of the main pole 1. The stopper 6 is rotatably supported by a pin 14b supported by a screw 14a in the main bar 2, and a coil spring 13 fitted to a spring guide pin 14 provided on the stopper 6 is provided. Due to the urging force, the stopper 6 is provided so as to be able to project and retract so that the locking portion 6a always projects from the cut groove 17 of the main pole 1. Then, the stopper 6 is depressed into the main pole 1 by being pressed, and is released from the cut groove 17 of the main pole 1 by releasing the pressing.

Then, as shown in FIG. 4, when the movable block 3 is disengaged from the stopper 6 and is positioned below the main pole 1, the main bar 2 and the hinge bar 5 are folded. Has been. Further, when the movable block 3 is moved upward, the main bar 2 and the hinge bar 5 are deployed, and when the main bar 2 and the hinge bar 5 are opened in a radial state, the movable block 3 is moved to its position by the stopper 6. It is supposed to be held.

Next, the lower surface of the bottom cap 7 attached to the lower end of the main pole 1 has a conical, sharpened shape.

Further, a pole receiving cylinder 8 which is supported by the main pole 1 in an upright state by inserting the lower end of the main pole 1 is formed by a pipe made of polyvinyl chloride resin. A spiral groove provided on a pole bottom cover 12 is screwed to the lower end of the cylindrical body 8, and a drainage hole 12a for rainwater is formed through the pole bottom cover 12 at a position offset from the center. Has been done. Then, the pole receiving body 8 is fixed in the soil or by embedding it in a concrete pole receiving base 11 as shown in FIG. Since the bottom cap 7 provided at the lower end of the main pole 1 has a sharp shape, it comes into contact with the bottom surface of the flat pole bottom cover 12 at a single point, and the main pole 1 has a circumferential direction. Is smoothly rotated.

The main pole 1 can be made to extend and retract in two or three steps.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.

By inserting the lower end of the main pole 1 into the pole receiving body 8, the main pole 1 is supported in an upright state. In this state, the movable block 3 vertically movably fitted to the main pole 1 is moved upward, and the movable block 3 is held above the main pole 1 by the retractable stopper 6. A plurality of main bars 2 pivotally attached to the movable block 3 and a plurality of hinge bars 5 pivotally supported by the main bar 2 and whose base ends are pivotally supported by the canopy 4 of the main pole 1 are developed. It will open in a radial pattern. In this state, a large number of strings 9 inserted through the respective insertion holes 2e penetrating in the circumferential direction of the main bar 2 are stretched in a rectangular shape of equal proportion, so that a large number of laundry can be dried on the strings 9.

Further, the bottom cap 7 attached to the lower end 1b of the main pole 1 and having a sharp lower surface is brought into contact with the bottom surface of the pole receiving cylinder 8 at one point, so that the main pole 1 smoothly rotates in the circumferential direction. When the laundry is hung on a large number of strings 9, the main pole 1 is rotated by the wind of the laundry, and the rotation of the main pole 1 suspends the main pole 2 and the hinge bar 5 from each other. The lowered laundry is evenly dried.

When the clothesline is not used, the stopper 6 that can be retracted and retracted is pressed toward the inside of the main pole 1 to release the engagement between the stopper 6 and the movable block 3 and move the movable block 3 downward. By moving the main bar 2 and the hinge bar 5 to the radially open state, the main bar 2 and the hinge bar 5 are brought into a folded state as shown in FIG. In this state, if necessary, the main pole 1 can be removed from the pole receiving body 8 and stored in another place. In addition, even if the wind is strong, the clothesline will not fall down if it is folded.

Further, since the member forming the skeleton of the foldable clothesline 20 is composed of the main pole 1 made of an aluminum pipe, the hinge bar 5 and the main bar 2 made of a U-shaped channel material, it is lightweight. You can get a strong and durable foldable clothesline.

Furthermore, the rainwater that has entered the pole receiving body 8 is discharged from the drain hole 12a of the pole bottom cover 12 and permeates into the soil or the like.

Further, since it is folded when the clothes are not used, it can be stored with a cover.

[Effect of the invention]

 According to the first aspect of the present invention, the movable block fitted to the main pole so as to be movable in the axial direction is moved upward and the movable block is locked by the stopper, whereby the main bar and the hinge bar are radially arranged. In this state, the laundry can be hung and dried on the string inserted into each of the multiple insertion holes of the main bar that is deployed in the umbrella state. This makes it possible to hang many laundry items, and it is possible to hang a wide and large laundry item such as sheets as well.

Further, by releasing the lock between the stopper and the movable block and moving the movable block downward, the main bar and the hinge bar can be changed from the radially opened state to the folded state, and by folding, It is easy to store without spilling, and because it is not conspicuous, it does not spoil the beauty of the garden. The main pole can also be removed from the pole holder and stored indoors.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the lower end of the main pole is formed in a sharp shape, the main pole is rotatably supported in the circumferential direction by being inserted into the pole receiving cylinder. When the clothes are dried, the main pole is rotated by the wind, so there is no unevenness in drying and the drying time can be shortened.

When the laundry is hung on the string, the laundry can be sequentially hung on the string while rotating the main bar at one place.
