  In this type of hanging device, when the laundry is used after being dried, it is easier to dry the laundry by keeping a sufficient distance from the attached object such as a wall or a pillar. If you hold the item in a high position, it will be difficult to touch the floor when you hang a long piece of laundry, and it will be difficult to get in the way. It is desirable to be located in

  However, in the above-described conventional example, in order to maintain a sufficient distance from the attachment target W such as a wall or a column during use, the angle at which the suspension arm 2 is tilted must be increased. The problem that the position of the hanging part 3 is considerably lower than the position at the time of storage, and the hanging arm 2 fell down while the hanging arm 2 was hanging on the hanging part 3 from the vertical storage state. In such a case, since it falls to the use position at an acceleration, there is a problem that it is dangerous and a large force is applied and the apparatus itself is broken. An object of the present invention is to solve these problems.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention has a mounting base attached to a mounted body such as a wall, and an arm having a latching portion at a distal end portion is movably supported through an end piece, and is substantially vertical. A latching device that can be set to an upwardly stowed state and a use state that projects obliquely upward. The mounting base is provided with a track portion in the vertical direction and a receiving portion in the track portion. The tip end of the end piece is pivotally attached to the base end, and a sliding portion that slides on the track portion of the mounting base is provided on the base end of the end piece, and is supported by the linkage tool. The arm tip is configured so that the tip of the arm pivots forward and tilts and the sliding part slides and rises on the track part from the substantially vertically upward storage state. upper sliding portion provided at an end portion of the receive portion And is supported by the linking tool so that it protrudes obliquely upward from the mounting base, and when the arm rotates from the usage state and shifts to a substantially vertical storage state, the arm is placed between the mounting base and the arm. When the foreign object such as a finger is caught, the arm rotates with respect to the end piece so that a gap is formed between the mounting base and the arm.

  As described above, according to the present invention, when the arm is tilted forward from the substantially vertical storage state, the lower part thereof raises the track part of the mounting base, and the lower part of the arm comes into contact with the receiving part and rises. Since it is in a use state that is supported by the linkage tool and protrudes obliquely upward, the position of the hook portion of the arm tip does not increase greatly between the storage state and the use state, It is difficult to get in the way, and is very convenient especially when long laundry is used after being dried.

  In addition, even if the arm is tilted while the arm is tilted while the arm is vertically or nearly vertical, the position of the arm at the tip of the arm may differ depending on whether it is stored or used. Since it is not large, there is an effect that it is safe and there is little possibility that the device itself is broken.

  The latching device according to the present embodiment is attached to a mounting base 1 attached to a body W to be mounted such as a wall or a column so that the lower end of an arm 2 can be indirectly moved through an end piece 6. 2 can be held obliquely upward.

  The mounting base 1 is formed with a track portion 20 extending in the longitudinal direction as a shape in which engagement edges 21 and 21 are provided inwardly from both tip edges having a U-shaped cross section. A pair of left and right cylindrical receiving portions 8 and 8 are provided at the upper portion of the track portion 20, a cylindrical receiving portion 9 is provided at the middle portion, and an upper cap 15 and a lower cap 16 are provided at both upper and lower ends, respectively. Is attached.

  The arm 2 is a vertically long hollow material having a rectangular cross section, and a fixed latch 4 and a movable latch 5 urged in the opening direction are attached to the tip, and the arm 2 is fixed to the open movable latch 5. A latching portion 22 is formed with the latching tool 4. In addition, the end piece 6 is rotatably attached to the base end portion with screws 28 and 28, and sliding portions 11 and 11 which are rotatable wheels are provided on the left and right sides of the tip portion. The moving parts 11 and 11 are slidably accommodated in the track part 20 of the mounting base 1.

  Further, the end piece 6 accommodates a spring 25 and urges a ball 26 at the tip thereof outward, and the ball 26 is engaged with a hole 27 at the base end portion of the arm 2. As shown in FIG. 8, when the finger F is sandwiched between the base end portion of the arm 2 and the mounting base 1, the ball 26 urged by the spring 25 is retracted and detached from the hole 27 of the arm 2, The arm 2 rotates about the screws 28 and 28 to release the pressure applied to the finger F to prevent injury. After that, the arm 2 can be restored straight by returning the arm 2.

  The linking tool 3 is an elongated rectangular plate, and is provided with sliding portions 10 and 10 that are rotatable wheels on both the left and right sides of one end, and three planes on the other end. The positioning cam 7 provided with the 1 cam surface 17, the second cam surface 18 and the third cam surface 19 is fixed, and the sliding portions 10 and 10 can slide on the upper portion of the track portion 20 of the mounting base 1. The positioning cam 7 is rotatably attached to the arm 2, and the mounting base 1 and the arm 2 are interlocked by a linkage 3.

  Inside the arm 2, a spring support 13 is fixed to the tip, the above-mentioned movable latch 5 is rotatably attached to the tip, and the pressing body 12 is slidably attached to the middle. A compression spring 14 is provided between the spring support 13 and the pressing body 12 to urge the pressing body 12 rearward (in the direction of the base end), and the rear surface of the pressing body 12 and the positioning cam 7 so that any one of the first cam surface 17, the second cam surface 18 and the third cam surface 19 can stably come into contact with the force of the compression spring 14 to set the arm 2 at three angles. It has become. In this embodiment, the spring receiver 13 and the fixed latch 4 are integrally formed.

  The latching device of the present embodiment is used by fixing the mounting base 1 to a body W to be mounted such as a wall or a column with a mounting screw. It can be used by hanging clothes baskets P on 22.22, or by using a pinch hanger with one.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, the rear surface of the pressing body 12 contacts the first cam surface 17 of the positioning cam 7, and the arm 2 is stored in a compact manner so as to partially overlap the mounting base 1. Then, when the arm 2 is slightly rotated forward, the sliding portions 10 and 10 at the base end portion of the linkage 3 move downward, abut against the receiving portions 8 and 8, and the positioning cam 7 rotates. Then, the rear surface of the pressing body 12 comes into contact with the second cam surface 18 and the movable latch 5 is opened (see FIGS. 3 and 6), and the latch portion is fixed by the fixed latch 4 and the movable latch 5. 22 can be formed, and can be maintained in a state where the laundry basket P is stretched over.
