Description

  The present invention relates to a clothes hanger that hangs laundry and dries it.

  Conventionally, when clothes are dried, clothes hangers in which a large number of pinches are suspended on a rectangular or round frame have been used. However, in the conventional clothes hanger, when sandwiching or removing the laundry, the pinch is opened with one hand, and the laundry is inserted or removed with the other hand, so that both hands are required. For both the handicapped person and the healthy person, a clothes hanger that can attach and remove the laundry with only one hand has been desired.

  The prior art of Patent Document 1 is simplified without using a conventional pinch, but when sandwiching the laundry, it is necessary to press the main body insertion portion 2 with one hand and then insert the laundry with the other hand. There was a need for both hands.

  The prior art of Patent Document 2 also requires both hands because the laundry plate is inserted with the other hand after holding the clip plate 1 with one hand.

  In the prior art of Patent Document 3, when the laundry is inserted, the lever 7 is simultaneously pushed up and opened by the finger. However, it is necessary to carefully operate the finger so that the finger is not caught in the lever 7. In addition, when removing the laundry, if the laundry is held with one hand and the knob 10 is not operated with the other hand, there is a problem that the laundry falls to the ground.

  In the prior art of Patent Document 4, when the laundry is inserted, it is necessary to push up the hook portion 13 with a finger at the same time, and it is necessary to be careful not to pinch the finger. At this time, the vertical side 11 was approaching from the left and right, and it was difficult to operate. In addition, if the hook part 13 is opened from the side through the laundry, it slips and it is practically difficult to insert the laundry with only one hand. Furthermore, there is a problem in that the hook portion 13 bites into the vertical side portion 11 and the hook portion 13 is difficult to open.

The clothes hanger 10 according to the embodiment includes a support 20 that is supported by a fixed object such as a clothes basket, a base 30 that is coupled to the support 20, and a sandwiching body 40 that is incorporated in the base 30. ing. The support 20 can hold the lever 21 to open the opening 22, and can hold and fix a clothes basket or the like. The base 30 extends in the horizontal direction in the shape of a clothes hanger for hanging an upper garment, and a plurality of sandwiching bodies 40 are linearly arranged. The plurality of sandwiching bodies 40 may be arranged on a square or circular base.

  FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of the vicinity of the sandwiching body 40, in which the sandwiching body 40 is inserted into a base 30 having a U-shaped cross section. FIG. 3 shows a base 30, which is made of hard plastic or the like. The upper base 31 and the lower base 32 are provided with an upper base introduction portion 33 and a lower base introduction portion 34, respectively, which are substantially trapezoidal recesses. It is formed as. The upper base introduction part 33 is formed larger than the lower base introduction part 34, and the difference portion constitutes a suppression part 35.

  FIG. 4 shows the sandwiching body 40, which is made of a soft elastic material such as natural rubber, synthetic rubber, silicon rubber, or elastomer. A pair of opposing sandwiching pieces 43 are configured with respect to the sandwiching body base 41 so that both side ends are swingably connected by hinges 42. The hinge 42 has a notch in the lower part and a thin upper part to form a thin plate hinge. The pair of sandwiching pieces 43 have a plane symmetrical shape with respect to their mating surfaces, and the mating surfaces constitute a first sandwiching portion 45 in a substantially horizontal direction. A sandwiching body introduction portion 47 that is a wedge-shaped recess is formed in a substantially horizontal direction toward the first sandwiching portion 45.

Between the clamping piece 43 and the clamping body base 41, a second clamping part 46 is also configured.
FIG. 5 shows a state where the clamping piece 43 is opened. The clamping piece 43 easily rotates upward about the hinge 42, and the first clamping part 45 and the second clamping part 46 are opened. When the sandwiching piece 43 is closed, it is supported by the restraining portion 35, and the sandwiching piece 43 is restrained from rotating downward.

Next, a method of removing the laundry from the attachment will be described.
FIG. 6 shows a state in which the laundry L starts to be inserted. The laundry L is moved so as to be rubbed while being lightly pressed toward the sandwiching body introduction portion 47. Since the holding piece 43 can be easily rotated upward, the holding piece 43 is rotated upward by the frictional force between the laundry L and the holding piece 43.
FIG. 7 shows a state in which the laundry L is inserted between the opened clamping pieces 43.

  FIG. 8 shows a state where the laundry L is sandwiched. Since the holding piece 43 is supported by the restraining portion 35 and does not rotate downward, the laundry L is firmly held by the first holding portion 45. In addition, when the laundry L is further inserted and clamped by the second clamping unit 46, the laundry L can be clamped more firmly.

FIG. 9 shows a state where the laundry L is removed. Simply by picking the laundry L with a finger and pulling it upward, the clamping piece 43 opens, and the laundry L can be taken in as it is.
From the attachment to the removal of the laundry L as described above can be performed by a simple operation with only two fingers of one hand. Since the upper and lower sides of the sandwiching body 40 and the surroundings are free spaces without obstacles, there is an advantage that the operation of attaching and removing the laundry L is not restricted.

  FIGS. 10 and 11 show a second embodiment in which a sandwiching protrusion 48 is provided at a position facing the upper side of the first sandwiching portion 45 of the sandwiching piece 43. The mating surface of the first sandwiching portion 45 can be widened to make it easier to sandwich the laundry L, and the laundry can be hooked by the sandwiching protrusions 48 to make it more difficult to fall.

  A third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. A back plate 36 and an adhesive 37 are provided as a support body 20 on a single body of the sandwiching body 40 and the base 30 and attached to a wall surface of a bathroom / kitchen to suspend a towel or the like.

  FIG. 13 shows a fourth embodiment in which the sandwiching body 40 is inclined. Since the 1st clamping part 45 inclines to the backplate 36 side, there exists an effect which a towel etc. cannot remove easily in front.

  In FIG. 14, the base 30 and the sandwiching body 40 are integrally formed of an elastic material such as rubber or elastomer. It can be manufactured with a single material and the assembly process can be omitted.

FIG. 15 is a plan view of the sandwiching body 40 as viewed from above, and explains the mechanical effect of the operation of the sandwiching body 40. The laundry L is inserted into the sandwiching body introducing portion 47 with the force Fl, and the angle between the wall surface of the sandwiching body introducing portion 47 and the first sandwiching portion 45 is A.
The force Fm by which the laundry L pushes the wall surface of the sandwiching body introducing portion 47 at a right angle is Fl / sin A, and the frictional force between the wall surface of the sandwiching body introducing portion 47 and the laundry L is μFl / sin A. That is, this frictional force is increased by the reciprocal of sin A as compared with μFl in the case where the sandwiching body introducing portion 47 is not provided. Here, μ is a coefficient of friction between the laundry L and the sandwiching body introducing portion 47.

Accordingly, when the laundry L is pulled up, the force μFl / sin A for opening the sandwiching piece 43 is increased by the reciprocal of sin A compared to the case where the sandwiching body introducing portion 47 is not provided. In addition, since there are two clamping pieces 43, the force to lift the clamping pieces 43 is 2 μFl / sin A which is doubled. Further, since the corner A is made smaller toward the back, the force for pulling up the laundry L and opening the holding piece 43 becomes larger toward the back.
When calculating this size,
When A is 30 degrees, 2 / sin A = 4,
When A is 20 degrees, 2 / sin A = 5.8,
When A is 10 degrees, 2 / sin A = 11.5,
Thus, when there is the sandwiching body introducing portion 47, it can be understood that the force to lift the sandwiching piece 43 is increased by this value, and the laundry L and the sandwiching piece 43 are difficult to slip.

  Further, the force Fo in the direction perpendicular to the first clamping part 45 is also a force in the direction of opening the clamping piece 43, and Fo∝Fl / tan A also contributes to the direction of opening the clamping piece 43 by the wedge effect, and goes to the back. It turns out that it grows.

  16, 17 and 18 show a sixth embodiment in which the hinge 42 is a pin hinge. A hinge hole 38 is provided on the base 30 side, and a hinge pin 49 is provided on the holding body 40 side. The hinge pin 49 is inserted into the hinge hole 38 so as to be swingable.

  FIG. 19 shows a seventh embodiment in which the base 30 and the sandwiching body 40 are integrally formed of the same elastic material. FIG. 20 is an EE cross section thereof. The sandwiching piece 43 is formed by lifting the first sandwiching portion 45 side upward so that a slight gap is provided between the sandwiching pieces 43. Also, a small gap is formed between the restraining portion 35 and the sandwiching piece stopper 44. At the time of use, the holding pieces 43 are lowered by gravity, so that there is no gap between the holding pieces 43.

  FIG. 21 is an eighth embodiment in which the sandwiching body 40 of the embodiment of FIG. 20 is inclined.

  FIG. 22 shows a ninth long example in which a plurality of laundry L can be suspended by a single sandwiching body 40. The base 30 and the sandwiching body 40 are continuously extended substantially horizontally in the direction of the first sandwiching portion 45, and sandwiching body introducing portions 47 are provided at both ends. A support 20 is provided at the center in the longitudinal direction of the base 30. The laundry L is inserted while being pulled up from the sandwiching body introducing portion 47, and is slid and moved toward the central portion, whereby a plurality of the laundry L can be suspended at arbitrary intervals. When the laundry L is removed, all the laundry L can be removed together by moving the laundry L from one end to the other end while lifting the laundry L from below.

  FIG. 23 shows a tenth embodiment in which the first sandwiching portion 45 side of the center portion of the sandwiching body 40 is inclined upward. There is an advantage that the laundry L can be easily inserted, and the sandwiching piece 43 is lowered by the weight of the laundry L to press the laundry L, so that the sandwiching force becomes stronger.

  24 and 25 show an eleventh embodiment in which the base 30 is divided into a first base 301 and a second base 302 and the center is pivotably connected by a base hinge 39. The first base 301 is provided with a base lever 70, and when the base lever 70 is gripped in the direction of the arrow, the first base 301, the second base 302, and the sandwiching pieces 43 open, All the laundry L is released at once.
