Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a clothes dryer, and in particular, a clothes dryer in which a frame that supports a large number of pinches (clothespindle) is hung from a hook via a hanging cord, and the frame is foldable at a central portion. In the frame. In the present specification including the claims for utility model registration, the "hanging string" refers to a string-like body that connects the frame to the hook, and the hanging string includes, for example, a coated iron wire and a chain.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 A clothes dryer in which a frame supporting a large number of pinches is hung from a hook via a hanging string and the frame is foldable at a central portion is already widely used. In order to make the frame of the clothes dryer foldable at the center, as shown in FIG. 5, the frame 1 in the conventional clothes dryer has a pair of frame constituent members 1a and 1b that support a large number of pinches. The two hinges 3 and 3 are connected to each other by folding. The reference numeral 5 in FIG. 5 is a hanging string, and the reference numeral 7 is a hook.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, since the frame in the above-mentioned conventional clothes dryer foldably connects the pair of frame constituent members through the hinges of only two side edges, each frame constituent member is mutually supported at only two points. In addition, a large load is applied to each hinge, and the hinge is loosened and damaged. As a result, not only the frame will be twisted and talumi, but also the frame may drop due to the damage of the hinge. This is because the laundry that is covered and hung from the frame via a pinch is extremely heavy, especially when wet. The present invention has been made to solve such problems in the conventional clothes dryers.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention solves the above problems by providing a frame with at least three hinges (ie, three or four or more hinges). That is, the present invention is a clothes dryer in which a frame supporting a large number of pinches is hung from a hook via a hanging cord, and the frame is foldable at a central portion. A clothes dryer, characterized in that members are foldably connected to each other via at least three hinges.

[0005]

[Action]

 In the clothes dryer according to the present invention, since the frame is composed of a pair of frame constituent members foldably connected to each other through at least three hinges, each frame constituent member is mutually connected at at least three points. Will be supported. In addition, the load of laundry on the hinges is distributed to at least three hinges, and the load on each hinge is reduced compared to the case where the frame components are connected via only two hinges. Damage is prevented. Therefore, there is no fear that the frame will be twisted or dulled, or the frame will fall due to breakage of the hinge.

[0006]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4 of the accompanying drawings. Reference numeral 11 is a frame of the clothes dryer. The frame 11 is composed of a pair of frame constituent members 11a and 11b which are foldably connected at a central portion. Each of the frame constituent members 11a and 11b suspends and supports a large number of pinches 13, 13 ... The frame components 11a and 11b are suspended from the hook 17 via the suspension cords 15 and 15. Reference numeral 19 indicates a hook base.

However, in the present invention, the frame 11 is formed by connecting a pair of frame constituent members 11a, 11b so as to be foldable via at least three hinges 21, 21, .... In the case shown in FIG. 2, the frame constituent members 11a and 11b are foldably connected to each other via four hinges 21, 21, 21 and 21. That is, four hinge mounting arms 23a and 23b are respectively provided on the frame constituent members 11a and 11b so as to be opposed to each other, and the hinge mounting arms 23a and 23b are mutually foldable via the hinge 21 ( (Rotatably). The number of hinges 21 is not limited to four and may be three or five or more. Further, although the frame constituent members 11a and 11b are folded downward in FIG. 1, the frame constituent members 11a and 11b may be folded upward.

The hinge 21 may be any one as long as it can fold (rotatably) connect the frame constituent members 11a and 11b to each other. An example of the hinge 21 shown in FIGS. Indicates. In the hinge 21 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a convex hinge forming member 25 is provided at the tip of the hinge mounting arm 23b of one frame forming member 11b so as to rotate on both sides of the convex hinge forming member 25. The shaft 25a is projected, and the concave hinge component 27 corresponding to the convex hinge component 25 is projected at the tip of the hinge mounting arm 23a in the other frame component 11a. Forms a receiving hole 27a corresponding to the rotating shaft 25a of the convex hinge forming member 25, and the rotating shaft 25a of the convex hinge forming member 25 is supported by the receiving hole 27a of the concave hinge forming member 27. The convex hinge constituting member 25 is fitted in the concave hinge constituting member 27. In this case, the frame constituent members 11a and 11b rotate about the rotation shaft 25a of the hinge 21.

[0009]

[Effect of the invention]

 As described above, in the clothes dryer according to the present invention, since the frame is composed of a pair of frame constituent members foldably connected through at least three hinges, each frame constituent member has at least three frames. They will be mutually supported in terms. Also, the load of laundry on the hinges is distributed to at least three hinges, and the load on each hinge is reduced compared to the case where the frame components are connected via only two hinges. Looseness and damage are prevented. Therefore, the excellent effect of eliminating the possibility that the frame is twisted or dulled or the frame is dropped due to the damage of the hinge is eliminated.
