  The present invention relates to a hanger to be hung when drying an object to be dried such as a wet towel or towel, and particularly relates to a hanger suitable for mounting in a limited space such as a kitchen.

  Conventionally, it is known that a plurality of hanger arms are swingably held at their bases (see Patent Documents 1 and 2).

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 4-103847 (FIGS. 1-3, 6) JP2007-151800 (FIG. 1)

  In the above conventional hangers, since a plurality of hanger arms are swingably held at the base, generally, the plurality of hangers are opened in a fan shape with the base at the center (essential), and a wet cloth A towel was hung.

  As mentioned above, when opening multiple hanger arms in the shape of a fan centered on the base and hanging wet towels or towels, there is not much inconvenience when using the hanger attached to a wide space such as above the kitchen. Absent.

However, for example, if a hanger is installed in a relatively narrow storage space between the kitchen worktop and the counter, the work of hanging the towel on the hanger arm becomes complicated and the space efficiency deteriorates, so multiple sheets can be freed. It was difficult to hang.
In particular, it was possible to change the angle between a plurality of hanger arms, but the interval between the arms could not be changed, so the storage space could not be used efficiently.

  In addition, when attaching the hanger to the upper surface (attached part) in a relatively limited storage part such as a kitchen, not only the installation work becomes difficult, but also the weight of the hanger arm and the weight of the wet towel There was a possibility that the free end of the hanger arm would be extremely lowered and the hanger itself would fall.

In view of the above-described conventional problems, the present invention can secure the degree of freedom of use of the hanger by changing the interval of the base portion of the hanger arm, and can efficiently apply a cloth, etc. A first object is to facilitate the mounting operation of a narrow mounting portion of an arm.
The second object of the present invention is to provide a hanger capable of preventing the free end of the hanger arm from being greatly lowered or dropped due to its own weight.

(1) The present invention provides a hanger arm on which an object to be dried can be hung, an arm holder that holds the base end portion of the hanger arm so as to be swingable in a horizontal direction, a mounting base that holds the arm holder, A hanger comprising a locking tool for mounting the mounting base on a mounting surface, wherein the arm holder is held movably in the horizontal direction on the mounting base, and the mounting base is in one direction. The mounting base or arm holder is mounted with a fixture for preventing rotation of the mounting base when a rotational force is applied to the mounting base in the direction of the rotation axis. When the base is mounted on a mounting portion that is a horizontal lower surface, the fixture is provided with an extending portion that extends in a direction opposite to the extending direction of the hanger arm, and the extended end portion of the mounting portion is the covering portion. Curved in the direction facing the mounting part Even if the free end of the hanger arm is lowered due to its own weight, the extension end of the fixture rises and abuts against the mounted portion, and the mounting base rotates. The hanger is configured to prevent the hanger arm from being lowered .

According to the present invention, an arm holder is attached to a held portion such as a vertical wall surface or a horizontal wall surface that is open at the bottom via a mounting base, and the arm holder is held movably on the mounting base. Therefore, not only can the position of the hanger arm be oscillated around the base end, but it can also be translated.
In particular, when a plurality of hanger arms are provided in the horizontal direction, the hanger arms can be freely changed in accordance with the distance between the hanger arms.
That is, the layout can be changed not only to a fan shape but also to a rectangular shape according to what is to be hung.

(2) In the present invention, the mounting base extends in one direction, the mounting said to a mounting base or arm holder, when the rotational force is applied to the extending direction and the rotation axis direction to the mounting base A fixture for preventing rotation of the table is mounted .
Therefore , the free end of the hanger arm descends due to its own weight or the weight of the object to be dried, and as a result, the mounting base located at the base end of the hanger arm extends in the direction of the rotation axis. As a result, the hanger arm may rotate in the descending direction, but the rotation is prevented by the fixture, so that the free end of the hanger arm does not descend.

(3) In the present invention, if the mount base is attached to the mating attachment section, which is a horizontal lower surface, said the fixture extending portion extending in the extending direction opposite to the direction of the hanger arm is provided The extending end portion is curved or bent in a direction opposite to the mounted portion, and even if the free end portion of the hanger arm attempts to descend due to the dead weight of the hanger arm, the extension of the fixture is accordingly increased. end rises contact with the mating attachment section, the mounting base is that is configured to prevent the descent of the hanger arm is prevented to rotate.
As described above, the fixture is bent or bent in a direction facing the mounting portion, and even if the hanger arm is about to descend, the extension end portion of the fixture is a horizontal lower surface due to the reaction. Since the mounting base abuts from below, the mounting base is prevented from rotating and the free end of the hanger arm does not fall.

(5) In this invention, it is preferable that the said hanger arm is curved or bent in the horizontal direction along the extension direction.
If the hanger arm is curved or bent horizontally along its extending direction, the inner surface of the hung cloth will not be in contact with each other and the air flow will be better and dry. Time is shortened.

(6) In this invention, it is preferable that the said arm holder is slidably hold | maintained along the extension direction of the said mounting base.
In this case, if the arm holder is slid along the extending direction of the mounting base, the hanger arm can be moved in a horizontal direction steplessly.

(7) The drying method of the to-be-dried object performed using the hanger according to the present invention includes the step of mounting the mounting base of the hanger on the horizontal lower surface or the vertical surface as the mounting portion, Swinging from a position to a second position; hanging the object to be dried on the hanger arm in the second position; and returning the hanger arm to the first position together with the object to be dried It is characterized by including these.
Note that the order of the steps in the present invention is not as described above. For example, the hanger arm is first swung from the first position to the second position, and then the horizontal lower surface or the vertical surface, which is the mounted portion, is moved. It is also possible to mount a mounting table for the hanger.

  (8) In this invention, it is preferable that the 1st position is a position in the storage part which the front opens, and the 2nd position is a position exposed to the exterior of the opening of the said storage part.

  When the hanger arm is swung toward the opening side of the storage portion and exposed to the outside, the object to be dried can be easily hung by hanging the hanger arm on the hanger arm. Further, when the hanger arm on which the object is to be dried is swung to the back side of the storage part, the object to be dried can be easily stored inside the storage part.

  As described above, according to the present invention, since the arm holder is movably held on the mounting base, not only the hanger arm swings with its base end as a fulcrum, but also the entire parallel movement. It is also possible to improve the degree of freedom of the hanger mounting position, and it is possible to efficiently apply a cloth.

  In addition, when the object to be dried is hung on the hanger arm in a state where the hanger arm is swung to the opening side of the storage portion and exposed to the outside, the object to be dried can be easily hung. When the hanger arm that is hung is swung to the back side of the storage unit, the object to be dried can be easily stored in the storage unit.

Are provided, and a top plate 3a as a horizontal lower surface and a vertical side wall 3b as a vertical surface are provided.
The storage unit 2 generally stores small items such as seasonings, but in the present embodiment, the hanger 4 is not attached here.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the hanger 4 is mounted from below the top plate 3a of the storage section 2 as the mounted section.

Next, further details of the hanger 4 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
Two metal hanger arms 6 extending in one direction have their base ends held by arm holders 8 respectively, and spheres 9 are fixed to the free ends in consideration of human safety. Has been.

  The hanger arm 6 is formed in a wave shape so as to meander in the horizontal direction along its extending direction. If the hanger arm 6 is formed in a wave shape in this way, FIG. Thus, for example, when the wet towel 10a is applied, the inner surfaces of the towel 10a are separated from each other by a dimension L, and air flows into the interior frequently and is dried early.

  Even if the hanger arm 6 is not necessarily curved and formed in a saw blade shape, the inner side surfaces of the wiper 10a are separated from each other, and air flows frequently in the interior to dry quickly. The effect of being played.

As shown in FIG. 6, the base end portion of the hanger arm 6 is inserted and held in an insertion hole 11 formed in the horizontal direction in the vicinity of the lower portion of the resin-made arm holder 8 having a truncated cone shape and a convex section. A mounting screw 12 is inserted from above into a through hole 6 a opened near the base end of the hanger arm 6 and fixed inside the insertion hole 11.
The outer diameter in the vicinity of the upper end portion of the arm holder 8 is formed smaller than the diameter of the screw head 7 of the mounting screw 12.

  A resin fixture 13a is fitted to the upper portion of the arm holder 8. A small diameter hole 14 through which a small diameter portion of the arm holder 8 is rotatably inserted and the mounting screw are inserted into the fixture 13a. A large-diameter step portion 15 in which twelve screw heads 7 are rotatably held is provided.

That is, the lower surface of the screw head 7 and the step portion 15 of the fixing tool 13a are slidable and slidable at the same time, and at the same time, the shoulder part 8a of the arm holder 8 and the lower surface of the fixing tool 13a are slidable and slidable. ing.
Accordingly, the hanger arm 6, the arm holder 8, and the mounting screw 12 can be integrated to rotate inside the small diameter hole 14 and the large diameter step portion 15 of the fixture 13a, and the hanger arm 6 has its base end. It is possible to swing around the part as a fulcrum.
An extension portion 16 is formed integrally with the fixture 13a, and an end portion thereof is curved in a direction facing the top plate 3a. Further, on the outside of the step portion 15, a flange portion 17 that slides inside a sliding groove 18 of the mounting base 5 described later is formed to protrude in the left-right direction.

  The diameter of the screw head 7 of the mounting screw 12 is set to be larger than the small diameter portion of the arm holder 8 and slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the step portion 15 of the fixture 13a. In a state where the hanger arm 6 is tightened, the lower surface of the screw head 7 comes into contact with the step portion 15 of the fixture 13a, and the arm holder 8 does not fall off from the fixture 13a.

The mounting base 5 for mounting the arm holder 8 and the fixture 13a on the top plate 3a is formed by extruding aluminum alloy in one direction, and has a sliding groove having a shape similar to a C-shaped thin section on the bottom surface. 18 is formed along the extending direction.
The sliding groove 18 has a dimension in which the wide groove part can slide the flange part 17 of the fixing tool 13a, and the narrow opening part has a dimension in which the narrow part of the fixing tool 13a can slide. The hanger arm 6, the arm holder 8, and the fixture 13 a can be integrally slid along the sliding groove 18.
Accordingly, the hanger arm 6, the arm holder 8, and the fixture 13 a can be moved horizontally along the sliding groove of the mounting base 5.

A magnet 20 provided with a yoke 19 as a locking tool is bonded to the recess 22 on the upper surface of the mounting base 5, and a base of the suction cup 21 is mounted at a place where the magnet 20 is not bonded. (See FIGS. 3 and 5).
A protective tape 23 is attached to the magnet 20 and the yoke 19.

When the top plate 3a is formed of a magnetic material such as an enamel, the magnet 20 works effectively and is strongly locked by the attractive force of both the magnet 20 and the suction cup 21.
On the other hand, when the top plate 3a is formed of a non-magnetic material such as wood, it is locked only by a suction cup.
In addition, illustration of the said suction cup 21 is abbreviate | omitted in FIG. 6, FIG.

Since the embodiment of the present invention is configured as described above, in order to attach the hanger 4 to the top plate 3a of the storage unit 2 above the work top 1, the hanger 4 is gripped and viewed from below the top plate 3a. When the hanger is lifted to a desired position, the hanger is fixed to the lower surface of the top plate 3a.
At this time, even if the hanger arm 6 tries to rotate downward by its own weight with the arm holder 8 as a fulcrum (the hanger arm 6 rotates clockwise in FIG. 6), the arm holder 8 and the fixture 13a are also integrally Since the end of the extending portion 16 of the fixture 13a is in contact with the lower surface of the top plate 3a and is prevented from rotating, the hanger arm 6 is stably maintained in a horizontal posture. It will be attached to the top 3a.
As described above, the hanger 4 is firmly fixed to the top plate 3a by the fixing tool 13a. Therefore, even if a heavy item such as a towel 10a containing moisture or a towel 10b is hung on the hanger 4, it cannot be easily detached from the top plate 3a. Absent.

As a method of using the embodiment of the present invention (a method for storing an object to be dried such as the towel 10a), first, the mounting base 5 of the hanger 4 is attached to the top plate 3a or the vertical side wall 3b of the storage unit 2 with a locking tool. The magnet 20 and the suction cup 21 are firmly attached. Next, the hanger arm 6 is swung to the opening side of the storage unit 2, and the hanger arm 6 is exposed to the front side of the storage unit 2, that is, above the work top 1. Then, an object to be dried such as a towel 10a is hung on the exposed hanger arm 6. After that, if the hanger arm 6 is swung to the back side of the storage part 2 and the wiper 10 a is stored in the storage part 2 together with the hanger arm 6, the wiper 10 a is stored in the storage part 2. Can be easily and quickly stored.
Here, when two small hangers 10a and the like are hung in the state in which the two hanger arms 6 are accommodated in the accommodating portion 2 (see FIGS. 1 and 4), the hanger arm 6 is disturbed above the work top 1. Workability such as cooking is improved without protruding.

On the other hand, when a slightly large towel 10b or the like is hung on the hanger arm 6 in the storage unit 2, the lower end may bend against the bottom surface of the storage unit 2 and bend and may not be sufficiently dried. In such a case, FIG. As shown, if at least one hanger arm 6 is brought above the worktop 1 of the kitchen, the upper and lower dimensions can be taken as compared with the inside of the storage portion 2, so that it can be sufficiently dried.
In this case, it is suitable for drying large towel 10b etc. after completion | finish of work, such as cooking.

Further, when the arm holder 8 and the fixture 13a are moved in the horizontal direction along the mounting base 5 to widen the interval between the two arm holders 8, a relatively thick towel can be hung.
In addition, even if it is a case where the hanger arm 6 is one, it can be moved to the back side or it can be moved to the front, and the freedom degree of the usage of the hanger 4 will improve.

  Next, another embodiment for carrying out the invention will be described. Since the other embodiment and the above-described embodiment are different only in a part of the structure of the fixture 13, the parts different from FIG. 6 will be described according to FIG. Detailed description will be omitted.

In this embodiment, the mounting base 5 is mounted on the vertical side wall 3b of the storage section 2, and the extending portion 16 extends downward from the fixture 13b and curves in the horizontal direction, and its end portion is the vertical portion. It faces the side wall 3b.
Also, a holding arm 24 is provided on the left side of the fixture 13 so as to protrude in the horizontal direction, and the arm holder 8 can swing at the protruding end of the holding arm 24 as in the above-described embodiment. The hanger arm 6 is fastened to the arm holder 8 with a mounting screw 12.
