  Traditionally used clothes dryers generally use a pinch as a means of sandwiching laundry, but because the pinch has a spring, people with weak grip and people with disabilities in fingers It was difficult to operate, and it was difficult to operate with one hand. As a means for pinching, there was no thing that could be dried firmly without using a pinch, and there was a need for improvement.

  Document 1 is to hang it by hanging it in a kerf instead of a pinch or hanging it. Depending on the width of the kerf, there is no denying the possibility of scratching the laundry or falling off.

  Document 2 is a pinch attached directly to the ring, with a piece of laundry sandwiched in it and fastened with small items, etc., but in order to fasten it tightly, you must use elastic scissors similar to a pinch. If the elasticity is small, it is difficult to hold firmly.

  In Document 3, a laundry is inserted between a pincer and a round bar to hold it, but it corresponds to a small article, and the structure is complicated and difficult.

  Document 4 is designed to hang indoors by hanging or hanging small items or clothes softly, and it is difficult to prevent them from falling off.

  An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and to develop a substantially circular hanging-type clothes drying tool that anyone can easily use.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the clothes drying device of the present invention is a thin plate in which the outer peripheral portion of the ring to which the hanging device is attached is provided with grooves of 1 to 7 mm in width and 30 to 80 mm in length at equal intervals. The upper presser that is formed and has an upper press that is approximately 2 to 10 mm wider than the width of the groove at the upper part corresponding to the groove is used to hold and hold the laundry with the groove and the upper presser.

  The clothesliner of the present invention is easy to use with a light and simple structure, and can be generally used regardless of the type and size of the laundry. Easy to insert and remove. Furthermore, it can be stacked by flattening it as a whole, saving space.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings based on examples. Prior to the production of the examples, the size and material of the outer periphery of the ring of the present invention were examined.

  Initially, it was found that the strength was insufficient when a hard plastic plate having a thickness of about 0.75 mm was used. Thus, when a hard plastic plate having a thickness of about 1.2 mm was used, the lack of strength could be resolved.

  FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram of an example of the embodiment of the present invention. In the trial production of Example 1, a ring 7 with a hook 8 of a commercially available clothes drying tool was used, but the outer diameter was about 180 mm and the width was about 5 mm, so the inner diameter was about 170 mm. . On the other hand, the outer peripheral portion of the main body 1 was manufactured by cutting out a hard plastic plate having a thickness of about 1.2 mm into a donut shape. The outer diameter was about 240 mm and the inner diameter was about 170 mm. Further, twelve grooves 3 having a width of about 2 mm were provided for each center angle of about 30 degrees, leaving an allowance of about 5 mm for fixing with the ring 7 inside. Between the groove | channel 3 and the groove | channel 3, 12 main body insertion parts 2 which insert dried things, such as socks, were made. However, the length of the groove 3 and the main body insertion portion 2 is about 30.0 mm when the diameter is about 240 mm. Although this length is not indispensable, in order to make it easier to use, a semicircle having a diameter of about 60 mm between the groove 3 and the groove 3 is added to the outer periphery of the main body insertion portion 2 so that the outermost portion of the main body insertion portion 2 can be used. The length of the tip was 60.0 mm. In order to improve the drying, the main body insertion portion 2 is provided with an opening 4 having a diameter of about 20 mm for allowing air to pass through.

  The press plate 5 is made of the same material as that of the main body 1, but the diameter of the outermost peripheral portion is about 300 mm, so the length of the press plate 5 is about 10 mm shorter than the tip of the main body insertion portion 2. For this purpose, a circle having a diameter of about 280 mm was cut, and twelve pressing plate pressing portions 6 having a width of about 10 mm and a length of about 50 mm were provided at intervals of a central angle of about 30 degrees. Next, a concentric circle having a diameter of about 170 mm was cut out to produce the holding plate 5. The press plate 5 and the main body 1 thus formed are overlapped so that the press plate pressing portion 6 covers the groove 3 properly, and a ready-made plastic ring 7 having a hook 8 for suspension at the center, The peripheral part and the inner peripheral part of the pressing plate 5 were overlapped and fixed.

  Next, a clothes-drying tool slightly larger than Example 1 was made as an experiment. In the trial production, a commercially available circular hanging-type drying tool was disassembled, and a plastic ring 7 having an outer diameter of about 330 mm and an inner diameter of about 300 mm was used. Similar to the first embodiment, a hard plastic plate having a thickness of about 1.2 mm is matched with the ring 7 so that the inner peripheral diameter of the main body 1 is about 300 mm. The length of the outer periphery of the main body 1 is such that 20 main body insertion portions 2 having a width of about 60 mm are provided at intervals of about 18 degrees in the central angle, and 20 grooves 3 having a width of about 2 mm are provided. 1240 mm. Therefore, the diameter is about 395 mm, and when 300 mm of the inner peripheral diameter of the ring 7 is subtracted, it becomes 95 mm. When the left and right are divided, each length is half of 95 mm. If the width of the ring 7 portion for fixing is about 15 mm, the length of the main body insertion portion 2 and the groove 3 is calculated to be about 32.5 mm. did it. As in Example 1, a semicircle having a diameter of about 60 mm was added to the outer edge of the main body insertion portion 2 to make the length of the main body insertion portion 2 about 62.5 mm. As a result, the diameter of the main body 1 was about 455 mm. Further, similarly to Example 1, the main body insertion portion 2 was provided with a ventilation opening 4 having a diameter of about 20 mm.

  The size of the pressing plate 5 is approximately 50 mm, which is slightly shorter than the main body insertion portion 2 on both sides of the outer periphery, an overlapping portion of about 30 mm for tightly fixing the ring 7 and the main body 1, and an inner diameter of about The diameter is about 430 mm with 300 mm added. As with the main body 1, 20 presser plate pressing portions 6 having a width of about 10 mm and a length of about 50 mm were formed at intervals of a central angle of about 18 degrees.

  The holding plate 5 is made of the same material as that of the main body 1. A circle with a diameter of about 430 mm was cut out according to the pattern, and was cut out leaving 20 pressing plate pressing portions 6 having a width of about 10 mm and a length of about 50 mm at intervals of a central angle of about 18 degrees. Next, a concentric circle having a diameter of about 300 mm was cut out. The presser plate 5 and the main body 1 thus formed were overlapped so that the presser plate presser portion 6 properly covered the groove 3, and overlapped with the ring 7, and 20 places were fixed with screws and nuts.

  Next, the usage of the clothesliner of the present invention will be described in order. When the socks are hung on the clothesliner of the present invention, the main body insertion portion 2 is pressed and a gap is formed between the press plate pressing portion 6 and the sock mouth is widened and inserted into the main body insertion portion 2. When drying towels, shirts, etc., pass the laundry upward from below the groove 3, wrap around the presser plate pressing portion 6, and then pass again downward from above the groove 3 to sandwich the laundry and wash it. Hold the object down and fix it firmly. When removing, pull the laundry to the side to remove it smoothly.

  The clothesliner of the present invention can be made in various materials, thicknesses, and sizes depending on the type of laundry as well as the items listed in the examples.
