Description

  The present invention relates to an extension device for a clothes-drying apparatus that is attached to a clothes-drying apparatus that is installed on a veranda or the like and includes an arm member that holds a clothes-drying basket and extends the length of the arm member.

  As a clothes drying apparatus that holds a clothes drying basket, there is one provided with a support member and an arm member (see, for example, Patent Document 1). The support member is fixed to a vertical surface such as a wall surface or a column, and the arm member is supported by the support member so as to be rotatable in the vertical surface around the base end portion.

  For example, the arm member that holds the hanging basket can be selectively fixed at each of an exposure position inclined obliquely upward and a storage position in a vertical state. While the arm member in the exposed position holds the clothes basket, the storage space when not in use can be reduced in size by positioning the arm member in the storage position.

  In particular, when the support member is fixed to the vertical surfaces facing each other in the two columns such as the column of the carport and the railing of the veranda, the entire clothes-drying device is arranged by positioning the arm member in the storage position when not in use. Arranged within the width of the column, the space can be used effectively and the appearance is not complicated.
