It is widely used to hang it on a horizontal bar. However, in such a clothesline, the laundry is shaken by the wind during use, so that the whole swings, the hook portion comes off from the horizontal bar and falls, or the laundry is easily stained by touching other parts. There was a problem.

[0003] Therefore, the hanging portion of the hanging rod has a clamp structure composed of a fixed holding piece and a movable holding piece urged in the approaching direction by a spring force with respect to the fixed holding piece. There is a type in which both holding pieces are opened by grasping with a horizontal bar and a horizontal bar is held between the two holding pieces to suppress the sway caused by the wind and to prevent a fall.

[0004]

However, in the above-described clamp system, since the lever portion above the hanging rod is gripped and operated by hand, the horizontal bar for hanging supports such as a clothesline is used. If it is located in a high place where it cannot be reached, it will not be able to be hung, it will be difficult to engage and disengage even when using a step platform, etc. It is inferior, and there is a problem that it takes time to pivotally attach the movable holding piece and attach a spring when assembling and manufacturing, resulting in high cost.

In view of the above situation, the present invention provides a hanging device such as a clothesline for hanging a horizontal bar for a hanging support, which is extremely easy to engage and disengage.
