[Means for Solving the Problems]
In the present invention, a cylindrical holding member having a predetermined length is provided at the center. A plurality of arm members are radially arranged in the same plane corresponding to a predetermined plane space orthogonal to the central axis of the holding member. Each arm member is fixed to the holding member on the holding member side. Each arm member includes a projecting portion projecting in the same direction along the central axis of the holding member described above at the distal end portion thereof. The plurality of arm members described above are actually arranged at a predetermined angle from each other.
Each of the projecting portions is equipped with a roller member, and the roller member is provided with a clothespin for hanging clothes and suspended so as to be swingable.

For this reason, according to the clothes-drying implement according to the present invention, since the plurality of clothespins are disposed only on one side as an overall configuration, the cylindrical holding member is disposed horizontally. For example, even if the back side is a wall or the like, it can be dried without bringing wet clothing into contact with the surface of the wall, which is suitable for drying clothes in the room during rainy weather.
[0009]
Furthermore, in the present invention, since the plurality of laundry nips and the plurality of arm members that hold the respective laundry nips are arranged radially on the same surface, the exclusive area with a small width even on one clothesline Is sufficient, and has the advantage of not interfering with other laundry.
[0010]
In addition, even if there is only one clothes basket, if the clothes drying apparatus according to the present invention is used (because of its narrow width), for example, a dozen or more sets of clothes drying equipment can be arranged at the same time. Dozens of towels and the like can be adequately accommodated by a single laundry basket, and in this respect, there is an advantage that it can be efficiently performed without taking up space even when drying a large amount of small clothes.
[0011]
Here, each arm member described above may be formed of a rod-shaped member, and the rod-shaped arm members may be radially arranged around the holding member at a predetermined angle. And the front-end | tip part of each arm member arrange | positioned radially may be bent, and it is good also as the said protrusion part.
[0012]
In addition, a connecting member that connects the arm members to each other may be provided at a predetermined position at the tip of each arm member. The connecting member may have a wire shape.
This prevents the arm members from being displaced (elastically deformed) from each other when the wet accessory is attached , thereby avoiding the curved state. There is an advantage that durability can be increased.
[0013]
Further, the length of the cylindrical holding member described above is such that the front side with the projecting portion is longer than the rear side without the projecting portion with respect to the mounting position of the arm member. Identified .
Thereby, the holding member can hold each arm member in a stable state (even if a lot of wet laundry is hung on each arm member).
