  However, in the hanger mounting tool described in Patent Document 1, the linear object is inserted into the first stopper and the second stopper, and the linear object is circulated so that the first stopper and Friction is generated inside the second stopper. Further, when the hanger hook is hung on the clothesline by the through-hole or the hook-shaped portion, and the linear object is circulated and the hanger hook is moved, friction occurs between the hanger hook and the clothesline. Due to these frictions, the linear object, the first stopper, the second stopper, the hanger hook and the clothes basket may be worn. In order to move the hanger hook, a force is required to circulate the linear object against the frictional force. When dried clothes are hung on multiple hanger hooks, all the hanger hooks and the force to resist the large frictional force caused by the load of all dried clothes caught on the hanger hooks are required, and the dried and dried clothes When you dries, you need a lot of power.

The clothes drying apparatus described in Patent Document 2 is for moving the clothesline supported by the hanging rack, and the problem of moving the clothesline in the longitudinal direction of the clothesline is not solved.
Even if the hanger is hung directly without using a hanging basket, it is a complicated structure that is driven automatically by the user operating the switch mechanism or by the precipitation detector, and it is inexpensive to create In addition, it is difficult for the elderly to learn complicated operations.

  Moreover, in any of the hanger attachment tool described in Patent Document 1 or the clothes drying device described in Patent Document 2, the adjacent hanger hooks or hanging hooks are connected by a connecting member having a predetermined length, and the interval between the dried objects is set. It cannot be adjusted. In addition to hangers that are hung by hanging shirts, etc., there are various types and sizes of clothes drying tools used to lock and dry dried items, such as hangers connected to multiple hangers, pinch hangers, clothes drying nets, etc. Depending on the type, the appropriate distance between the adjacent clothes-drying tools varies. If the interval between the clothes-drying tools is too close, the dried goods may receive wind and may unintentionally contact and fall on the adjacent dried goods, or the adjacent dried objects may overlap and become difficult to dry. On the other hand, if the interval between the clothes-drying tools is too long, the amount of the clothes that can be dried on a certain length of clothes-drying basket is limited, which is inefficient.

  In view of these problems, the present invention has a simple structure, is easy to use, and can move dried clothes with little force, and is suitable for elderly people and the physically handicapped. It is an object to provide an apparatus.
