(Example of use)
Next, a usage example in which the clothes drying tool 1 configured as described above is sandwiched by a sandwiched body extending in the vertical direction based on FIGS. 5 to 7 will be described based on the drawings.

The sandwiched body having large diameters at both ends extending in the vertical direction in FIG. 5 is an example of the support column 15 of the umbrella-type clothesline 13 suspended from the clothesline 12 or the like. From the closed state of the drying arm supports 5 and 5 of the two clothes-drying tools 1, the pair of knob operation units 3 and 3 are picked against the spring 4, and the drying arm supports 5 and 5 are opened. First contact portions 10 and 10 having substantially semicircular first recesses 8 and 8 (
In FIG. 3), it is sandwiched and attached to this support column 15. Conventionally, umbrella-type clothesline 13
When the laundry was hung on the clothesline 12, the space between the hooks 14 at the end of the umbrella-type clothes-drying tool 13 and the drying arms that spread radially was a wasteful space. In addition, by detachably holding the clothes-drying tool 1 on the support column 15 and drying the accessories, it is possible to effectively use a useless space and separately prepare a clothes-drying tool having a hook without hanging it on a clothes-drying basket etc. But you can also dry small items such as socks and handkerchiefs. in this case,
Similar to the use example in which the supporting column 15 of the umbrella-type drying device 13 suspended from the drying basket 12 is used as a sandwiched body, the supporting column that extends in the vertical direction across the drying basket is used as the sandwiching body. The same effect can be obtained by detaching the accessories by detachably holding 1.

The wide plate-shaped sandwiched body extending in the vertical direction in FIG. 6 uses the door 16 as an example. A pair of picking operation parts 3 and 3 of the clothes drying tool 1 is picked against the spring 4 and is cut into a substantially triangular shape on the contact / separation surfaces 10 and 10 at the tip positions of the drying arm supports 5 and 5. The door 16 is sandwiched and attached by the recesses 9 and 9.

The part to be clamped in which both ends extending in the vertical direction in FIG. 7 are closed takes a part of the vertical lattice 17 of the veranda as an example. A pair of picking operation parts 3 and 3 of the clothes drying tool 1 is picked against the spring 4 and is cut into a substantially triangular shape on the contact / separation surfaces 10 and 10 at the tip positions of the drying arm supports 5 and 5. The concave portions 9 and 9 are sandwiched and attached to the vertical grid 17 of the veranda. Thus, when the clothes-drying tool 1 is clamped and attached to the vertical lattice 17 of the veranda, the drying arms 6 provided on the drying arm supports 5 and 5 cannot be spread radially at the vertical lattice 17, Since the dry arm 6 is attached to the dry arm supports 5 and 5 so as to be freely raised and lowered, the tip position of the dry arm supports 5 and 5, that is, the knob operation units 3 and 3.
It is possible to erect the drying arm 6 at a position far from the head and spread only the drying arm 6 on the near side at a position close to the knob operation units 3 and 3 in a radial manner.
