Description

本発明は、折り畳み可能に連結された枠体に懸架された複数個のピンチに、洗濯物を吊して干すための折り畳み式物干し具に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a foldable clothes dryer for hanging laundry on a plurality of pinches suspended on a foldable frame.

一般に、折り畳み式の物干し具は、一対の枠体が回動自在に連結されて形成されている。この折り畳み式の物干し具は、安価で取り扱い易い合成樹脂製ものが数多く使用されている。この合成樹脂製の物干し具は、容易に製造することができるため、使用する場所や用途に応じて、様々な大きさに成形され、大量生産されて市場に出回っている。このため、一般の家庭においては、複数を所有して、使用する場所や用途に応じて使い分けている。 Generally, a foldable clothesliner is formed by a pair of frames that are rotatably connected. As this foldable clothesliner, many inexpensive and easy-to-handle synthetic resin products are used. Since the synthetic resin clothesliner can be easily manufactured, it is molded in various sizes, mass-produced, and put on the market depending on the place and use. For this reason, in general households, a plurality of them are owned and used according to the place and use.

また、これら折り畳み式の物干し具には、一度に複数枚の洗濯物を吊すために、複数個のピンチが上記一対の枠体に懸架されている。そのため、この折り畳み式の物干し具を折り畳んだ状態で、棚やラックなどに収納し易いように、当該ピンチが取り付けられている側に折り畳む、いわゆる内折り構造のものが多く採用されている。この内折り構造の折り畳み式の物干し具を用いることにより、折り畳んだ２つの枠体の内側に上記ピンチが収まり、棚やラックなどに収納する際に、上記ピンチが邪魔になることがない。また、複数の折り畳み式の物干し具を一箇所に収納しても、互いの上記ピンチ同士が絡まることがないため、出し入れをスムーズに行うことができる。 In addition, a plurality of pinches are suspended on the pair of frame bodies in order to suspend a plurality of laundry items at a time on these folding clothesliners. For this reason, a so-called inwardly folded structure is often used that folds the foldable clothesliner to the side on which the pinch is attached so that it can be easily stored in a shelf or rack. By using the foldable clothes drying tool having the inner folding structure, the pinch fits inside the two folded frames, and the pinch does not get in the way when stored in a shelf or rack. Further, even when a plurality of folding clothes-drying tools are stored in one place, the above-mentioned pinches are not entangled with each other, so that it is possible to smoothly put in and out.

ところが、この内折りタイプの折り畳み式の物干し具は、上記一対の枠体とフック部材とを接続するために、２本のチェーンまたはワイヤ部材が用いられている。これにより、上記一対の枠体は、２本のチェーンまたはワイヤ部材によって、回動自在に連結された連結部から離反した位置を４点で支持し、上記フック部材によって水平に懸架されている。そのため、トレーナやジーンズなど、水分を含むと重くなる洗濯物を吊した際に、その荷重を２本のチェーンまたはワイヤ部材によって受けるため、合成樹製の枠体が撓んで破損したり、回動自在に連結された上記一対の連結部に、折り畳み方向とは逆の回転モーメントが作用して、当該連結部が破損したりしてしまうという問題がある。 However, in this folding type clothesline, two chains or wire members are used to connect the pair of frames and the hook member. As a result, the pair of frames are supported at four points by two chains or wire members at positions separated from the connecting portions that are rotatably connected, and are horizontally suspended by the hook members. Therefore, when hanging laundry that becomes heavy when it contains moisture, such as trainers and jeans, the load is received by the two chains or wire members. There is a problem in that a rotational moment opposite to the folding direction acts on the pair of freely connected portions and the connecting portions are damaged.

そこで、従来の物干し具は、上記一対の枠体に剛性を持たせるために、例えば、下記特許文献１に示すように、枠体に桟部材を複数配設するとともに、上記枠体を吊り下げる吊下杆を剛性を有するワイヤ部材を用いて、合成樹脂製の枠体が洗濯物の重さにより撓むのを防いでいる。 Therefore, in order to give rigidity to the pair of frames, the conventional clothesliner has a plurality of cross members disposed on the frame as shown in, for example, Patent Document 1 below, and suspends the frame. Using a rigid wire member for the suspension rod, the frame made of synthetic resin is prevented from bending due to the weight of the laundry.

しかしながら、上記従来の折り畳み式の物干し具は、物干し具自体の重量が嵩んでしまい、この折り畳み式の物干し具を物干し竿などに掛けたり、または外したりする際に、腕や肩への負担が大きく、日々行われる洗濯作業の支障となってしまうという問題があるとともに、使用する材料も増加するため、製造コストが嵩むという問題もある。 However, the above conventional foldable clothesliner increases the weight of the clothesliner itself, and when this foldable clothesliner is hung on or removed from a clothesline, the burden on the arms and shoulders is reduced. There is a problem that it becomes a hindrance to daily washing work, and there is also a problem that manufacturing cost increases because the materials to be used increase.

また、内折り構造の上記折り畳み式の物干し具は、上記一対の枠体の連結部から離反した位置を支持する２本のワイヤ部材を介して、フック部材により水平に懸架されるため、上記一対の枠体に加わる洗濯物の荷重によって、上記一対の枠体の連結部に、折り畳み方向とは逆の回転モーメントが作用して、当該連結部に負担が生じてしまうという問題もある。 Further, the folding clothesliner having an inner folding structure is suspended horizontally by hook members via two wire members that support positions separated from the connecting portions of the pair of frame bodies. There is also a problem that due to the load of the laundry applied to the frame body, a rotational moment opposite to the folding direction acts on the connection portion of the pair of frame bodies, causing a load on the connection portion.

次いで、一対の枠体２の下面側に懸架されている複数個のピンチｐに、洗濯物を挟んで吊す。この際に、トレーナやジーンズなど、水分を含むと重くなる洗濯物を吊りした場合、一対の枠体２は、第一の枠体３の他端部３ｃ近傍と角隅部３ｄ近傍とが、２本のワイヤ部材５によって４点で支持され、第二の枠体４の他端部４ｃ近傍と角隅部４ｄ近傍とが、２本のワイヤ部材５によって４点で支持されているため、第一の枠体３および第二の枠体４に加わった洗濯物の荷重を、４本のワイヤ部材５によって受けることになる。これにより、第一の枠体３および第二の枠体４が撓んだりすることがないとともに、第一の枠体３の他端部３ｃと第二の枠体４の他端部４ｃとの連結部８に、折り畳み方向とは逆の回転モーメントが作用せず、連結部８への負担が軽減される。 Next, the laundry is suspended from a plurality of pinches p suspended on the lower surface side of the pair of frames 2. At this time, when a laundry that becomes heavy when it contains moisture, such as a trainer or jeans, is hung, the pair of frames 2 has the vicinity of the other end 3c of the first frame 3 and the vicinity of the corner 3d. Since the two wire members 5 are supported at four points, the other end 4c vicinity and the corner corner 4d vicinity of the second frame 4 are supported at the four points by the two wire members 5, The load of the laundry applied to the first frame 3 and the second frame 4 is received by the four wire members 5. Thereby, while the 1st frame 3 and the 2nd frame 4 do not bend, the other end part 3c of the 1st frame 3, and the other end part 4c of the 2nd frame 4 A rotational moment opposite to the folding direction does not act on the connecting portion 8, and the burden on the connecting portion 8 is reduced.

また、屋外に設置された物干し竿などに、折り畳み式物干し具１を干している際に、突然の雨や、この折り畳み式物干し具１を屋内に移動した場合、フック部材６の鈎部６ａを間に挟んで開閉部材６ｂの反対側に設けられた掛け部６ｄを、鴨居やカーテンレールに掛けることにより、容易に、または一時的に室内に干すことができる。 Further, when the foldable clothes-drying tool 1 is being hung on a clothes-drying basket installed outdoors, when the foldable clothes-drying tool 1 is moved indoors, the hook part 6a of the hook member 6 is moved. By hanging the hanging portion 6d provided on the opposite side of the opening / closing member 6b between the head and the curtain rail, it can be easily or temporarily dried indoors.

そして、折り畳み式物干し具１のピンチｐに吊りしてた洗濯物が乾いて、ピンチｐから洗濯物を取り外し、折り畳み式物干し具１を折り畳む場合には、フック部材６を掴み、一対の枠体２の上面に、フック部材６を降ろして、ワイヤ部材５を一対の枠体２の上面に当接させた後に、第一の枠体３と第二の枠体４をピンチｐが懸架されている側に折り畳む、いわゆる内折りにする。そして、ワイヤ部材５が回動自在に接続された取付部材６ｅとフック台６ｃとを回動させて、フック部材６を折り畳んだ第一の枠体３と第二の枠体４との間に収めた後に、折り畳み式物干し具１を所定の場所に収納する。 When the laundry hung on the pinch p of the foldable clothes-drying tool 1 dries, the laundry is removed from the pinch p, and the foldable clothes-drying tool 1 is folded, the hook member 6 is gripped, and a pair of frames After the hook member 6 is lowered on the upper surface of 2 and the wire member 5 is brought into contact with the upper surfaces of the pair of frame bodies 2, the pinch p is suspended between the first frame body 3 and the second frame body 4. Fold it to the other side, so-called inward fold. Then, the mounting member 6e to which the wire member 5 is rotatably connected and the hook base 6c are rotated so that the hook member 6 is folded between the first frame body 3 and the second frame body 4. After storing, the foldable clothes-drying tool 1 is stored in a predetermined place.

上述の実施形態による折り畳み式物干し具１によれば、略コ字状に形成された第一の枠体３の他端部３ｃと第二の枠体４の他端部４ｃとが回動自在に連結された一対の枠体２に接続されたワイヤ部材５が、少なくとも４本用いられて、各々のワイヤ部材５の一端部５ａが第一の枠体３に対向配置された第一枠辺３ａと第二枠辺３ｂとの角隅部３ｄ近傍、および第二の枠体４に対向配置された第一枠辺４ａと第二枠辺４ｂとの角隅部４ｄ近傍に回動自在に接続されているとともに、他端部５ｂが第一の枠体３に対向配置された第一枠辺３ａの他端部３ｃ近傍、および第二の枠体４に対向配置された第一枠辺４ａの他端部４ｃ近傍に回動自在に接続され、かつワイヤ部材５の一端部５ａと他端部５ｃとの間に形成された屈曲部５ｃに、フック部材６が回動自在に接続されているため、一対の枠体２をフック部材６により水平に懸架する際に、各々の枠体３，４の他端部３ｃ，４ｃ近傍により４点、この他端部３ｃ，４ｃから離反した各々の角隅部３ｄ，４ｄにより４点の計８点で支持することができる。これにより、トレーナやジーンズなど水分を含むと重くなる洗濯物を複数のピンチｐにより吊した場合、一対の枠体２に加わる荷重を４本のワイヤ部材５によって受けることができ、一対の枠体２が撓むことがないとともに、一対の枠体２を回動自在に連結している連結部８に、折り畳み方向とは逆の回転モーメントが作用せず、当該連結部８への負担を軽減させることができる。 According to the folding laundry 1 according to the above-described embodiment, the other end 3c of the first frame 3 and the other end 4c of the second frame 4 formed in a substantially U-shape are freely rotatable. The first frame side in which at least four wire members 5 connected to the pair of frame bodies 2 connected to each other are used, and one end portion 5a of each wire member 5 is disposed opposite to the first frame body 3. 3a and the second frame side 3b are rotatable in the vicinity of the corner 3d, and in the vicinity of the corner 4d of the first frame side 4a and the second frame side 4b arranged opposite to the second frame 4. The first frame side that is connected and is located near the other end 3c of the first frame side 3a that is disposed opposite to the first frame 3 and the other end 5b is opposed to the second frame 4 A hook member is connected to a bent portion 5c formed between the one end portion 5a and the other end portion 5c of the wire member 5 so as to be rotatable in the vicinity of the other end portion 4c of 4a. Are pivotally connected, so that when the pair of frame bodies 2 are suspended horizontally by the hook members 6, the other end portions 3c and 4c of the respective frame bodies 3 and 4 have four points, and the other ends. The corners 3d and 4d separated from the portions 3c and 4c can be supported at a total of eight points, ie, four points. Thereby, when the laundry which becomes heavy when it contains moisture, such as a trainer or jeans, is suspended by a plurality of pinches p, the load applied to the pair of frame bodies 2 can be received by the four wire members 5, and the pair of frame bodies 2 does not bend, and a rotating moment opposite to the folding direction does not act on the connecting portion 8 that rotatably connects the pair of frame bodies 2, thereby reducing the burden on the connecting portion 8. Can be made.

また、一対の枠体２を４本のワイヤ部材５により、各々の他端部３ｃ，４ｃ近傍と、この他端部３ｃ，４ｃから離反した各々の角隅部３ｄ，４ｄとを支持することで、一対の枠体２に剛性を持たせることができるため、一対の枠体２が内折り構造であっても、第一の枠体３および第二の枠体４に配設する桟部材７、または第一の枠体３および第二の枠体４に用いられる材料を抑えて、軽量化を図ることができる。この結果、製造コストを抑えることができるとともに、物干し竿ｔなどに掛けたり、または外したりする際に、腕や肩への負担を軽減させることができる。 Further, the pair of frame bodies 2 are supported by the four wire members 5 in the vicinity of the other end portions 3c and 4c and the corner portions 3d and 4d separated from the other end portions 3c and 4c. Thus, since the pair of frame bodies 2 can be provided with rigidity, the crosspiece members disposed on the first frame body 3 and the second frame body 4 even if the pair of frame bodies 2 have an inner folding structure. 7 or the material used for the 1st frame 3 and the 2nd frame 4 can be suppressed, and weight reduction can be achieved. As a result, the manufacturing cost can be reduced, and the burden on the arms and shoulders can be reduced when being hung on or removed from the clothesline t.

そして、ワイヤ部材５の各々の他端部５ｂから屈曲部５ｃまでの一辺が、平面視において、一対の枠体２の回動軸に対して平行に配設されているため、回動自在に連結された一対の枠体２を折り畳んだり、開いたりする際に、ワイヤ部材５の屈曲部６ｃ近傍と、この屈曲部６ｃ近傍が回動自在に接続されたフック台６ｃの取付部材６ｅとをスムーズに回動させて、一対の枠体２の開閉を容易に行うことができる。 And since one side from each other end part 5b of each wire member 5 to bending part 5c is arranged in parallel to the axis of rotation of a pair of frame 2 in plane view, it can turn freely. When the pair of connected frames 2 are folded or opened, the vicinity of the bent portion 6c of the wire member 5 and the attachment member 6e of the hook base 6c to which the vicinity of the bent portion 6c is rotatably connected are provided. The pair of frames 2 can be easily opened and closed by smoothly rotating.

なお、上記実施の形態において、第一の枠体３と第二の枠体４とを略コ字状に一体成形する場合のみ説明したが、これに限定されるものでなく、例えば、角形環状に一体成形した第一の枠体３と第二の枠体４とを用いても対向可能である。 In the above embodiment, only the case where the first frame 3 and the second frame 4 are integrally formed in a substantially U-shape has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The first frame 3 and the second frame 4 that are integrally formed with each other can be opposed to each other.
