Description

  The present invention relates to a one-touch unlocking-type laundry basket support that can store and move a laundry basket downward from the set position with a single touch.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is known a clothes basket support tool capable of adjusting the angle of the clothes basket and attaching the clothes basket at an appropriate inclined position (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 to 3).
JP 2001-25600 A Registered Utility Model No. 3000784 Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 7-5595

  The thing of patent document 1 is a proposal of an effective support tool when attaching a hanging basket to the fence of the veranda of an apartment. The laundry basket can be stowed upward, but this support has the problem that the laundry basket cannot be positioned other than a certain angle and that it cannot hang a plurality of clothes baskets and the range of use is limited. is there.

  The thing of patent document 2 is characterized by being able to position not only the horizontal direction but also the angle of diagonally upward, diagonally downward, etc., as the protruding angle of the supporting arm that supports the laundry basket. In order to change, it is necessary to move the shaft with the support arm, and therefore it takes time and effort to adjust each of the support arms on the left and right of the clothes rack, and when the support arm is stored and moved downward, especially When there are a large number of clothes in the clothes basket and the weight is heavy, there is a disadvantage that the handling becomes troublesome.

  According to Patent Document 3, the arm can be locked at a plurality of positions such as a horizontal position and an inclined position of 45 degrees upward without using a tool. Since it is rotated up and down while shifting back and forth, there is a problem that it cannot be easily fixed at a predetermined position unless it is used and cannot be moved in the vertical direction. In addition, there is a problem in that a support tool of a type that locks the clothes rack in a predetermined position requires a great deal of labor and personnel to remove the lock.

  The present invention has been made in view of such conventional circumstances. Of course, it is possible to hang a plurality of clothes racks, and it is easy to adjust to a horizontal position and an up and down inclined position. An object of the present invention is to provide a one-touch unlocking-type laundry basket support tool that can be moved from a fixed position in a state to a vertically lower storage position by one touch.

  That is, according to the present invention, recesses 12 a, 12 b, and 12 c are formed at a plurality of portions of the arcuate portion 11 of the bracket 10 that is fixed to the wall surface A, and the base portion of the arm 20 that is overlapped on one side of the bracket 10 is the central axis 14 of the bracket 10. The floating piece 15 is pivotally supported on the central shaft 14 and is pivotally supported on the central shaft 14. The floating piece 15 protrudes outward from the arcuate portion 11 of the bracket 10 and has a recessed lower end. The control piece 30 pivotally attached to the arm 20 and elastically biased by the spring material 32 is superposed on the front portion of the control piece 30 and meshed with the recesses 12a, 12b and 12c near the tip of the control piece 30. The engaging pin 31 is fixed, and thus the restraining portions 13a and 13b with which the engaging pin 31 of the control piece 30 abuts are formed on the upper and lower ends of the arc-shaped portion 11 of the bracket 10, and the floating portions are formed on the upper and lower portions of the bracket 10. Piece 1 End of is the technical means to become a contact with the stopper 17a · 7b and respectively protrude.

  When the engaging pin fixed to the control piece of the arm moves upward from below, the floating piece is pushed up by the engaging pin, and the engaging pin meshes with a plurality of recessed portions formed in the bracket in each direction. Since the arm is fixed, the angle of the clothesline can be set. Since the control piece is constantly urged upward by the spring material, the engagement pin does not escape below the recessed portion, and therefore there is no risk that the arm will automatically rotate downward. The laundry basket remains stable.

  When the arm is stored in the lower vertical position, the arm is rotated further upward than the uppermost recessed portion. Then, the floating piece comes into contact with the upper stopper of the bracket and stops, but the control piece moves on the surface of the floating piece. Does not move. When the arm is rotated downward from that state, the engaging pin is located away from the arcuate portion, so it does not contact the recessed portion, and the floating piece overlapped with the bent piece also moves downward. The floating piece stops at that position when it comes into contact with the lower stopper, but the control piece moves to a position where the engaging pin comes into contact with the depressing part at the lower end of the arcuate part and stops. It becomes a vertical state. In other words, the arm can be rotated upward to the extreme position and simultaneously moved downward, so if you grab the laundry basket and rotate it downward, it will start at once from the locked state fixed to the diagonally recessed part. The arm can be stowed vertically downward so that the locked state can be easily released. Therefore, even if the clothes rack has weight, it can be stowed without difficulty. This saves you the trouble of operating the arm individually and storing the arm with two people.

  Referring to the drawings, the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 shows an outline of the operation of the present support, wherein 10 is a bracket fixed to a wall surface A, and 20 is an arm attached to the bracket 10. The arm 20 indicated by the solid line is in a horizontal state, but can also be positioned at an angle of 30 degrees directly above and 45 degrees below the phantom line. Since the arm in the positioning state does not move downward, but can move upward, the uppermost angle indicated by the phantom line (from the horizontal state) The arm 20 is once rotated to an angle of 45 degrees. If it carries out like this, the arm 20 will become the same as the lock | rock was cancelled | released, and it can rotate at a stretch and can be accommodated vertically downward. The rotation of the arm 20 can be easily operated by grasping the clothes basket 40 inserted through the receiving hole 21.

  FIG. 2 shows the structure of the main part of the present support tool. An arc-shaped portion 11 is formed at the tip of the bracket 10, and the center of the arc-shaped portion (horizontal position with respect to the vertical line) and diagonally above (angle of 30 degrees from the center). In addition, semicircular recesses 12a, 12b, and 12c are not provided at three positions diagonally below (intermediate between the vertical line and the center, that is, at an angle of 45 degrees), and the upper and lower ends of the arc-shaped part 11 (the upper ends are diagonally upper recesses). Depressed portions 13a and 13b with which an engaging pin 31 to be described later abuts are formed at an angle of 15 degrees from 12b and at a lower end (a vertical position spaced apart from the obliquely recessed portion 12c).

  The arm 20 is overlapped on one side (the back side in the figure) of the bracket 10, receiving holes 21 on which a plurality of clothes-drying baskets 40 can be hung are arranged, and the base of the arm 20 is the central part (semicircle) of the bracket 10. Is pivotally supported by a central shaft 14 attached to the arcuate portion 11.

  The central shaft 14 is pivotally supported with a floating piece 15 having a distal end projecting outward from the arcuate portion 11 of the bracket 10 and having a recessed portion 16 formed at the distal end. In the vicinity), a control piece 30 having a base pivotally attached to the arm 20 is superposed. The control piece 30 has a low base portion and a bent front portion. The front portion is disposed on the surface of the floating piece 15 and is mounted on the bracket 10 by a spring member 32 wound around the pivotal attachment portion 35. It is elastically biased to the side. The spring material 32 has one end fixed to the locking portion 33 on the arm 20 side and the other end fixed to the locking portion 34 on the control piece 30.

  An engagement pin 31 that engages with the recesses 12 a, 12 b, and 12 c is fixed to the control piece 30 near the tip, and this engagement pin 31 is loosely fitted in a window hole 22 that is formed in the center of the arm 20. ing. The engaging pin 31 moves through the recesses 12 a, 12 b, and 12 c, but does not escape from the window hole 22.

  The restraining portion 13a formed at the upper end of the arc-shaped portion 11 moves further even if the arm 20 is rotated upward and the engaging pin 31 escapes from the obliquely recessed portion 12b and moves further upward. The restraining portion 13b that is restrained and formed at the lower end of the arc-shaped portion 11 holds the arm 20 in the vertical state by the contact of the engaging pin 31 when the arm 20 is housed in the lower vertical position. Thus, 17a and 17b in the figure are stoppers which abut on the floating piece 15 projecting from the upper and lower portions of the bracket.

  FIG. 3 shows the horizontal arm 20 shown in FIG. 2 pivoted upward, and the engagement pin 31 moves along the arcuate portion 11 after it escapes from the recessed portion 12a against the spring material 32. The arm 20 moves diagonally upward and engages with the recess 12b to stop. That is, the arm 20 can be positioned at a predetermined angle by stopping the engagement pin 31 from engaging with any of the obliquely lower recessed portion 12c, the horizontally recessed portion 12a, and the obliquely upper recessed portion 12b. It is possible to adjust and set the clothes rack 40 hanging on the respective angles.

  When the arm 20 is housed in the lower vertical position and the clothes basket 40 is lowered, the arm 20 is once rotated upward as shown in FIG. When the arm 20 is rotated to the uppermost position, the floating piece 15 comes into contact with the stopper 17a provided on the upper portion of the bracket 10 and stops. However, the control piece 30 finally engages with the movement of the arm 20 as it is, and finally the engagement pin. 31 abuts against the restraining portion 13 a formed at the upper end of the arc-shaped portion 11. At this time, the control piece 30 is engaged with the floating piece 15 by the spring material 32, and the engaging pin 31 is positioned at the outer edge of the arcuate portion 11 in alignment with the recessed portion 16 of the floating piece 15. That is, the arm 20 located at the uppermost portion is such that the engaging pin 31 is released from the obliquely recessed portion 12b and does not contact the arcuate portion 11 by the recessed portion 16 of the floating piece 15, so that it is as if the lock was released. Therefore, it can be moved downward together with the floating floating piece 15 as it is.

  The floating piece 15 rotated downward in conjunction with the arm 20 comes into contact with the lower stopper 17b provided on the bracket 10 and stops, but the engaging pin 31 is disengaged from the recessed portion 16 of the floating piece 15. The arm 20 is rotated on the arcuate part 11 and finally comes into contact with the restraining part 13b at the lower end of the arcuate part 11 and stops, so that the arm 20 is stored vertically downward (see FIG. 5). Although the arm 20 rotates in this way, the movement of the arm 20 can be automatically adjusted by grasping the hanging basket and moving it up and down. Even if there are many dried articles on the hanging basket, only a slight force is applied to the predetermined angle Of course, it is possible to store a laundry basket located in a high place vertically with a single touch.

  FIG. 6 shows an outline of another example of the present support, in which an arc-shaped hole 11 ′ is formed inside the bracket 10 and concave portions 12a ′, 12b ′, and 12c ′ are respectively provided in the arc-shaped hole 11 ′. However, such a configuration is of course within the scope of implementation of the present invention, in addition to structural changes other than those shown in the drawings, within the scope of achieving the object and effects of the present invention.
