Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-57289 JP 2008-36178 A

  In this type of clothes dryer, when installing a horizontal bar for arranging a plurality of pinches on the clothes frame, the horizontal position is separated from the central support member in a direction perpendicular to the swing axis in the folded position. As the fence is installed, the opposing spacing between the horizontal lines of the clothes-drying frame in the unfolded position increases, and as a result, the number of horizontal lines is reduced and the number of pinch attachments is reduced. If the number of installations is the same, there is a disadvantage that the entire clothes dryer becomes larger.

  Moreover, although the cross-sectional area of the recess forming portion of the recumbent can be smaller than the cross-sectional area of the other recumbent part outside the recessed part, it is possible to achieve compactness in the folded posture of both clothes drying frames, but the mechanical strength is There is a problem that decreases.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described actual situation, and its main problem is to reduce the size of the entire clothes-drying machine under the same number of horizontal fences, and the both clothes-drying frames. It is possible to promote downsizing of the clothesline frame in the folded position without incurring a decrease in the mechanical strength of the machine, and by using the configuration for that purpose, a pinch located on the center side of the clothesline frame The object of the present invention is to provide a clothes-drying device that can facilitate the operation of attaching and detaching the dried food.

According to the first characteristic configuration of the present invention, both ends of the central support member provided with the hanging member are disposed close to the hanging member side in a state where the base ends of the pair of clothes drying frames face each other in the deployed posture. A clothes dryer pivotally pivoted to a folded position,
In each of the clothes-drying frame bodies, each of the part that overlaps with the central support member and the part that overlaps with the suspension member in a folded position is a horizontal axis whose swing axis direction is the longitudinal direction. A central region where at least the central support member overlaps with one of the horizontal rails positioned on the side of the swing axis , and the both drying frames are in a folded position , and the swing shaft Out of the other reeds that are separated from the core, the center region that overlaps with the hanging member in a state in which the both hanging frames are in a folded position, both ends of each reed that continues to the dried frame in the folded position together are bent to the side away from the central support member than the region, the cross-sectional shape of the central region and the end regions of both Yoko杆is configured the same or substantially the same, further, of both Yoko杆Central area and The end region lies in the pinch is disposed.

  According to the above configuration, when laying a recumbent for disposing a plurality of pinches on the clothesline frame, a recumbent is erected at a position where it overlaps with the central support member in a folded position, It is possible to reduce the facing distance between the horizontal lines of a certain drying frame, and it is possible to reduce the size of the entire drying machine under the same number of horizontal lines.

  In addition, since at least the central region of the reed overlapping with the central support member in the folded posture is bent toward the side away from the central support member with respect to both end regions continuous thereto, A space for storing the central support member can be provided between the opposing surfaces of the central region of the horizontal frame of the clothes-drying frame body, and the both-drying frame bodies can be made compact in the folded posture.

  Still, since the cross-sectional shapes of the central region and both end regions of the recumbent ridge are the same or substantially the same, the central support member is stored between the opposing surfaces of the central region of the recumbent frame of both clothes drying frames. However, the strength of both clothes-line frames will not be reduced.

  Furthermore, since the center area of the recumbent will protrude downward in the horizontal hanging state in use when the clothes-drying frame body is in the unfolded posture, the pinch disposed in the central area of this recumbent is The pinch is positioned so as to protrude downward from the pinches arranged at both end regions of the reed, so that it is easy to handle the pinch located at the center side of the clothesline frames.

  Therefore, it is possible to reduce the size of the entire clothes dryer under the same number of horizontal racks, and to reduce the mechanical strength of the two clothes frames, and to reduce the size of both clothes frames in the folded position. In addition, it is possible to facilitate the operation of attaching and detaching the dried article to and from the pinch located on the center side of the both drying frames using the configuration for that purpose.

The second characteristic feature of the present invention, the both clothes frame, said Tate杆continuous in a posture crossing the central areas of both Yoko杆are integrally formed, a central region of both Yoko杆in this Tate杆An intermediate region that is continuous with the hanging frame in a folded posture and is bent to a side farther from the suspension member than an end region of the vertical rod that is continuous with the clothes frame, and the intermediate region of the vertical rod and The cross-sectional shape of the end region is the same or substantially the same.

  According to the above-described configuration, a vertical gutter is integrally formed in an intersecting posture across the both clothes-drying frame body and the recumbent frame so as to increase the mechanical strength of the both clothes-removal frame body, and is continuous to the central region of the reed frame. Since the middle side area is bent to the same side as the central area of the reed, in the folded position, the opposite areas of the middle area of the recumbent frame and the middle area of the vertical reed are opposite to each other. A space for storing the central support member can be exposed between the surfaces, and the both clothes drying frame bodies can be made compact in the folded posture.

  In addition, since the cross-sectional shapes of the intermediate region and the end region of the downpipe are the same or substantially the same, the central support member is stored between the opposing surfaces of the intermediate side region of the downpipe of both clothes drying frames. Although the space for doing this appears, it does not cause a drop in the strength of both drying frames.

A third characteristic configuration according to the present invention is that the cross-sectional shape of the both side ridges and the cross-sectional shape of the vertical ridges are configured in an elliptical shape or a substantially elliptical shape in which the bending direction is a long axis. .

  According to the above-described configuration, not only can the mechanical strength against external forces such as bending and twisting of both the clothes-drying frames be improved, but also a space defined by the both clothes-drying frames and the recumbent and vertical fences. It can be configured to be large, and it can be advantageously configured to store a pinch in a folded position.

  A fourth characteristic configuration according to the present invention is that a plurality of the reeds and a plurality of the reeds are integrally formed in a lattice shape.

  According to the above configuration, while providing a plurality of horizontal rails to increase the number of pinch attachments, the hanging load that increases along with this is ensured by the horizontal rails and the vertical rails that are integrally formed in a lattice shape. Can be received and supported.

  According to a fifth feature of the present invention, there are provided a pivot shaft for pivotally mounting both base ends of one clothes frame to both ends of the center support member, and the other to both ends of the center support member. The pivot shaft that pivots both base ends of the clothesline frame is disposed at an interval in the direction orthogonal to the pivot axis.

  According to the above configuration, the distance between the pivot shafts that pivot the both base end portions of the clothes-drying frame bodies to the both end portions of the central support member is widened, and at least overlaps with the central support member in the folding posture. In the folding posture, the central region of the recumbent is formed on the side farther from the central support member than the both end regions that are continuous with each other. A space for storing the central support member can be reliably and easily revealed.

  According to a sixth characteristic configuration of the present invention, the clothes-drying frames are formed in a U-shape or a substantially U-shape, and reinforcing ribs are provided along the longitudinal direction of the inner surfaces of the clothes-drying frames. In addition, there is a space in which the suspension member can enter between the opposing surfaces of the reinforcing ribs of both clothes-drying frame bodies when both the clothes-drying frame bodies are in the folded posture.

  According to the above-described configuration, both the clothes drying frames formed in the U-shape or the substantially U-shape are firmly constituted by the reinforcing ribs formed along the inner side surfaces of the both drying frames. Since the space in which the suspension member can enter is formed between the opposing surfaces of the reinforcing ribs of the body, it is possible to achieve compactness in the folded posture of both clothes drying frame bodies.
