[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention significantly improves the usability compared to conventional ones, and eliminates the inconvenience of hanging hangers hung on a clothesline by the wind pressure applied to the laundry. TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a hanger fixing device for a clothesline, which is also provided with a function of:

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As the existing hanger fixing device, a slightly large washing pin with both legs made into two branches is widely used. To use it, the hooks of the hanger hanging on the clothesline should be sandwiched between the forks, and the legs should sandwich the clothesline.

[0005] Alternatively, there is a type in which a metal wire bent in a wavy shape or a band plate provided with hook holes for hooking a hook portion of a hanger at regular intervals is attached in the longitudinal direction of a clothesline.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 However, for large clothespins, it is troublesome to attach and fix fixtures to each hanger one by one. It is also relatively bulky, making it difficult to carry and store. On the other hand, a clothes hanger with a corrugated wire or a perforated strip becomes a hindrance when a hanger is not required, has a poor appearance, easily rusts, and has a thick hook part made of a plastic hanger. There were considerable difficulties, such as being difficult to apply.

[0005] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to be able to always leave the device attached to a clothesline, without the hassle of attaching and detaching each time of use, and to freely change the interval at which the hanger is hooked. When not using the clothespin, the fixings fitted on the clothespin make the pole thicker, which speeds up the drying of the laundry and provide a good-looking clothespin hanger fixture. It is in.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, a hanger fixing device for a clothesline according to the present invention includes a shape that can be loosely fitted to the clothesline in a retaining state, a plurality of spacers having a predetermined length, and a clothesline. A pair of end fixing devices for preventing the movement of the spacers at both ends in a state in which the hooks of the hanger are sandwiched in the gaps provided between the plurality of spacers which are loosely fitted in a row in a row. Combine.

[0007] At both ends of the spacer, a holding portion for preventing the hook portion from coming out of the gap may be provided. The spacer is formed of a cylindrical body of a predetermined length, and its cross-sectional shape is a vertically elongated substantially elliptical shape on the outer peripheral side, and the upper peripheral part and the lower arcuate part are connected on the inner peripheral side. It is good to The synthetic resin spacer is preferably made porous except for its surface. In addition, it is preferable to apply an appropriate colored pattern or a concavo-convex pattern such as a picture imitating a railcar such as a bullet train on the outer peripheral surface of the spacer. As the end fixing device, it is preferable to use a washing pin-shaped clip that can firmly hold a clothesline, a collet chuck type holding device, or the like.

[0008]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 1, the hanger fixing device of this embodiment includes a plurality of spacers A1 which are externally fitted to a clothesline C in a state of being loosely fitted in a column, and spacers A1 located at both ends of the column. In order to prevent the movement, it is constituted by two end fixtures B1 which are detachably attached to the clothespin C so as to abut against the respective outer ends.

As shown in FIG. 2, the spacer A1 of this embodiment is formed in a cylindrical shape having a predetermined length, and its cross-sectional shape is formed such that the outer peripheral side is formed in a vertically elongated substantially elliptical shape, and the inner peripheral The side has a shape in which an arc-shaped portion g having a diameter somewhat larger than that of the clothesline C is connected below the upper chevron portion f. Therefore, the thickness of the spacer A1 is thicker at the upper and lower sides than at the left and right sides. This thick portion serves as a holding portion h for securely holding the hook portion of the hanger D hung on the clothesline C as described later.

As shown in FIG. 1, the length dimension of the spacer A1 is set to a length corresponding to a normal arrangement interval of the hanger D to be hung on the clothesline C.

The spacer A1 of this embodiment is made by extrusion foaming a synthetic resin. According to this molding method, only the outer peripheral portion can be made into a non-foamed dense structure, and the inner portion can be made porous. As a result, the spacer A1 can achieve weight reduction and material saving without lowering the weather resistance.

As shown in FIG. 4, a pattern imitating a Shinkansen vehicle is drawn on both sides of the spacer A1 of this embodiment. Therefore, when a plurality of spacers A1 are externally fitted to the clothesline C in a column shape, the spacers A1 look like a train model of a Shinkansen, and particularly entertain children. The pattern is not limited to a railcar, but may be other various colored patterns, uneven patterns, or the like.

As shown in FIG. 1, the end fixing device B1 of this embodiment is made by imitating a commercially available hanger fixing device having a size and a gripping force capable of firmly gripping the clothesline C. I have.

Next, how to use the hanger fixture of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. First, a plurality of spacers A1 are loosely fitted in a clothesline C in a column. For this purpose, one of the caps c of the clothesline C may be removed once, and a plurality of spacers A1 may be sequentially fitted from one end thereof.

This number may be appropriately determined so that the length of the column of the spacer A1 group is shorter than the distance between a pair of hanging brackets E (or pole hanging poles) on which the clothesline C is hung. After the spacer A1 group has been fitted, the cap c, which has been removed, is reinstalled, and the hanger fixing device is ready for use.

Next, in order to hang the hanger D on which laundry is hung on the clothesline C, first, the spacer A1 located at one end of the column is prevented from moving in the outward direction of the row. Then, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the clip-shaped end fixing tool B1 is attached to the clothesline C in a state of contacting the outer end of the spacer A1.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 1, a gap a somewhat wider than the thickness of the hook portion d of the hanger D is provided between the spacers A1 and A1 adjacent to each other. At the point of the interval a, the hanger D is sequentially hooked on the clothesline C. If the number of the hangers D is small, the hangers D may be hooked on the gap a provided every other spacer A1.

After the hanging of the hanger group D, the spacer A1 located at the other end of the column is pushed toward the spacer A1 fixed at one end, and each hook portion d is shown in FIG. As described above, the spacer A1 is firmly sandwiched between the sandwiching portions h, h at the respective side ends of the spacer A1 on both sides.

Next, in order to fix this state, another end fixing tool B1 is attached to the clothesline C in a state where the other end fixing tool B1 is in contact with the outer end of the spacer A1 at the other end. Hanging work can be completed very easily and quickly, but surely.

With the hanger D group fixed in this manner, the depth of the gap a is deeper in the vertical direction of the spacer A1, as can be understood from FIG. Therefore, even if the laundry is strongly blown by a gust, etc., the danger that the hook portion d comes out of the gap a can be almost certainly eliminated.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the upper angled portion f on the inner peripheral surface of the spacer A1 has a higher frictional resistance with the outer peripheral surface of the clothespin C as compared with the case of a simple circular surface. Will be quite large. Therefore, even if the hanger D is swung in the direction around the axis of the clothesline, the spacer A1 pressing the side end face against the hanger D acts to suppress the swing, and the hanger D is moved. Contributes to drop prevention.

The spacer A1 has a specially elongated cross-sectional shape as shown in FIG. 3, so that the spacer A1 does not rotate unnecessarily around the axis of the clothesline C, but is always shown in the figure. It is kept on its own so that its portrait orientation is vertical. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, when a pattern such as a Shinkansen vehicle is drawn on the side surface of the spacer A1, there is no problem that the pattern is disturbed.

When the hanger D is detached, the above-mentioned pinched state is quickly released by detaching the end fixing tool B1 at one of the left and right ends. Even when the hanger fixture is not required, if the hanger group D is connected in series and placed like a single rod, the thickness of the clothespin C increases and the ventilation to the laundry becomes better. I like it.

Next, FIG. 5 shows a spacer A2 according to a second embodiment. This spacer A2, which is made by injection molding of synthetic resin, has both ends and the upper surface side portion of the cylindrical body left, and the other portions are cut away for weight reduction and material saving. . Further, a holding portion h for increasing a contact area with the hanger D is provided at both end portions left in a ring shape in a hanging manner.

Further, a cut i is provided at a lower portion of each end of the spacer A2. Therefore, the elastic spacer A2 can be fitted from the upper side of the clothesline C by expanding the cut i, and the troublesome work of attaching and detaching the cap c can be omitted.

Next, FIG. 6 shows a distal end fixing device B2 according to a second embodiment. This end fixture B2, which has a form similar to a "collet chuck" used in a lathe (machine tool), includes a cylindrical bolt 1, a nut 2, and a shaft hole into which a clothesline is fitted. Consisting of a combination of The cylindrical bolt 1 is provided with a tapered male screw in a thin portion on the left side of the figure, and a plurality of cuts j are provided radially in the axial direction. On the other hand, the nut 2 is provided with a tapered female screw that is screwed to the male screw.

The usage of the end fixing tool B2 is similar to that of the “collet chuck”. Incidentally, the above-mentioned tapered male screw and female screw may be formed on a single conical surface which can be engaged and disengaged from each other.

[Effect of the invention]

 As is apparent from the above description, the hanger fixing device for a clothesline according to the present invention has excellent practical effects as listed below. (A) Since it can always be left attached to a clothesline, it is different from conventional clothespin-shaped hanger fixtures. Each time one hanger is hung or removed, the fixtures must be attached and detached one by one. Moreover, the troublesome labor of storage can be omitted. (B) A large number of hangers hooked on the clothesline at a predetermined interval can be installed at both ends of the column spacer group by simply attaching the end fixtures to the clothesline, respectively, and all of the hangers can be seen at once. Fixed. (C) The above-mentioned fixed state can be released at once by simply removing one of the above-mentioned pair of end fixing devices. (D) By providing a holding portion at the end face of the spacer, etc., even though the operation of fixing the hanger group is extremely simple, even if the laundry is blown by a gust, the hanger can be removed from the clothesline. There is almost no danger of falling off. (E) If a pattern imitating a Shinkansen train or the like is drawn and placed on the outer peripheral surface of the spacer, a fun atmosphere can be created not only for children but also for adults. (F) Any type of hanger of different form and size can be hung easily and reliably.
