FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the clothes-drying hanger of Example 1, a perspective view seen from above, FIG. 2 is a perspective view seen from below, and FIG. 3 is a side view.

The clothes-drying hanger 1 is mainly made of a synthetic resin material, has a width of about 60 cm and a length of about 40 cm, and for example, 22 pinch portions are attached to the frame material at substantially equal intervals. In addition to the synthetic resin material, the material may be a metal such as aluminum, and an appropriate material can be adopted. Further, the size and the number of pinch portions can be appropriately sized and the number of pinch portions.

The clothes-drying hanger 1 has a main frame portion 4 composed of a pair of horizontal frame portions 2 along the longitudinal direction and a pair of vertical frame portions 3 along the lateral direction, and two of these are hung on the horizontal frame portion 2. The hanging frame portion 5 is provided. Although the hanging frame portion 5 is shown as a pair, the hanging frame portion 5 may be a plurality of pairs, or may be arranged so as to be further crossed between the vertical frame portions 3.

In the substantially center between the hanging frame portions 5, an H-shaped bridge entwined portion 6 is provided, which is hung between the hung frame portions 5, and further, in the center of the bridge entwined portion 6, for hanging. The hook portion 7 is provided.

Further, the connection point between the hanging frame portion 5 and the bridge entanglement portion 6 is a place where the width in the height direction of the hanging frame portion 5 is narrowed by the base portion described later provided in the hanging frame portion 5. The bridge connection portion 6 also serves as a reinforcement for the hanging frame portion 5. Similarly, a reinforcing bridging portion may be separately provided for crossing the portions of the vertical frame portion 3 and the hanging frame portion 5 where the width in the height direction of each frame is narrowed.

A pair of semicircular disk portions 6a are erected at an interval in the upper center of the bridge entanglement portion 6, and a columnar portion that can rotate about an axis in the vertical direction between these semicircular plate portions 6a. 7a is pivotally supported by a shaft portion (not shown) provided on the semicircular plate portion 6a. As shown in FIG. 3, the hook-shaped portion 7b of the hook portion 7 is rotatably fixed by inserting the lower end into the hole portion 7c of the cylindrical portion 7a, and the hook-shaped portion 7b is rotatably fixed along the arc of the semicircular plate portion 6a. It is possible to rotate and move to the left.

Each frame portion of the horizontal frame portion 2, the vertical frame portion 3, and the hanging frame portion 5 has an inverted U-shaped cross section and has a U-shaped groove, and the lower portion is open. Further, the horizontal frame portion 2, the vertical frame portion 3, and the hanging frame portion 5 are formed with rectangular or trapezoidal base portions 8 protruding downward at predetermined intervals, and the lower end side of these base portions 8 is formed. A shaft hole 8b is provided in each of the two corner portions 8a. One pinch portion 9 is provided between two adjacent base portions 8.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, when the clothes-drying hanger 1 is viewed from the side surface direction, the base portion 8 of the vertical frame portion 3 and the base portion 8 of the hanging frame portion 5 are arranged so as to alternate with each other. There is. By arranging in this way, the laundry C sandwiched between the pinch portions 9 between the facing vertical frame portions 3 and the laundry C sandwiched between the pinch portions 9 between the facing hanging frame portions 5 come into contact with each other. There is no.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the hanging frame portion 5 is arranged at a position slightly higher than the vertical frame portion 3, and the vertical frame portion 3 and the hanging frame portion 5 are arranged in a stepped shape. By arranging the hanging frame portion 5 provided inside the vertical frame portion 3 so as to be stepped high in this way, the central portion of the laundry C sandwiched between the pinch portions 9 between the vertical frame portions 3 facing each other. However, it becomes difficult to come into contact with the base portion 8 of the hanging frame portion 5. Therefore, by preventing the laundry C from coming into contact with the hanging frame portion 5, the laundry C becomes easy to dry.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram of a pinch portion obtained by enlarging a part of the side view of FIG. 3, and as shown in FIG. 4, a wall portion 8c acting as a locking portion is vertically and vertically inside the middle inside of the base portion 8. It is installed in the direction. The height of the wall portion 8c is slightly shorter than the length of the base portion 8 in the vertical direction. In FIG. 4, the front side surface of the horizontal frame portion 2 is shown as a alternate long and short dash line in order to make it easier to understand the relationship between the wall portion 8c and the pinch portion 9.

The pinch portion 9 is composed of a pair of pinch piece portions 9a and 9b having the same shape on the left and right. Further, it is preferable that the colors of the pinch portions 9 are the same in the corresponding pinch portions 9 between the frame portions facing each other, and the adjacent pinch portions 9 are arranged in different colors.

By doing so, when the laundry is unfolded and hung, the pinch portions 9 on both sides corresponding to the different frame portions used are not mistaken, and the combination of the pinch pieces 9a and 9b to be picked up by the fingers is also mistaken. Never.

The pinch pieces 9a and 9b are projected on both sides over almost the entire circumference for reinforcement and pressure welding described later, and a pair of pinches for sandwiching the T-shaped edge portion 9c and the laundry C. The pinch pieces 9a and 9b are rotated around the holding portion 9d in which the pieces 9a and 9b face each other, the shaft portion 9e which is pivotally supported by the shaft hole 8b of the base portion 8 and protrudes in a columnar shape, and the shaft portion 9e. It has an operation piece portion 9f to be operated and a rotation restricting portion 9g that regulates the rotation of the pinch piece portions 9a and 9b by abutting on the lower end of the wall portion 8c.

The shaft portions 9e are provided as a pair at the same positions on both the front surface and the back surface of the pinch portion 9. Further, the thickness of the rotation restricting portion 9g in the direction along the shaft portion 9e is about ½ of the thickness of the edge portion 9c in the direction along the shaft portion 9e, and the rotation restricting portion 9g is along the shaft portion 9e. It is in a state of being moved to one side with respect to the direction.

The operation piece portion 9f extends in a direction perpendicular to the extending direction of the holding portion 9d with the shaft portion 9e as the center, and the rotation restricting portion 9g is held around the shaft portion 9e. The portion 9d is extended in the direction opposite to the extending direction by approximately 180 degrees.

The pinching portion 9d has a wide shape and an arc shape on the side surface, and when the pinch piece portions 9a and 9b rotate around the shaft portion 9e, the positions in close proximity to each other of the pinching portions 9d move as they rotate. It has become. Then, as the rotation of the pinch piece portions 9a and 9b goes upward, the gap between the pinching portions 9d is widened.

A large number of grooves for preventing slippage of laundry are provided on the surface of the holding portion 9d, and similarly, a large number of grooves for preventing finger slippage are formed on the surface of the operation piece portion 9f.

The pair of pinch pieces 9a and 9b attached between the adjacent base portions 8 have the same shape but have the same shape on the left and right sides, thereby reducing the number of parts. That is, the pinch piece portion 9a on one side is arranged face up, and the pinch piece portion 9b on the other side is arranged face down.

When attaching the pinch pieces 9a and 9b, as shown in FIG. 4, the pinch pieces 9a and 9b pivotally supported by inserting the winding center of the torsion spring 10 made of a wire or the like into the shaft portion 9e and supporting the pinch pieces 9a and 9b as a base portion. By moving the 8 from below to above and pushing it into the corner portion 8a, the shaft portion 9e can be fitted into the shaft hole 8b and rotatably attached to the base portion 8.

In the torsion spring 10 before the pinch pieces 9a and 9b are attached to the base portion 8, one end portion 10a protrudes from the notch portion 9h in which a part of the edge end portion 9c in the vicinity of the rotation restricting portion 9g is cut out. There is. The other end portion 10b is hooked on the pin receiving portion 9i provided on the edge end portion 9c and is in contact with the inner wall of the edge end portion 9c. After the pinch pieces 9a and 9b are attached to the base portion 8, the end portion 10a of the torsion spring 10 abuts on the wall portion 8c via the notch portion 9h, and the upper side of the rotation restricting portion 9g is the tip of the wall portion 8c. Will come into contact with.

While the conventional clothes-drying hanger requires a large number of steps such as a manufacturing process of the pinch portion and an attachment process of the hanging string-shaped body in order to attach the pinch portion, the clothes-drying hanger 1 of this embodiment is twisted. Since the attachment is completed only by pushing the pinch pieces 9a and 9b to which the spring 10 is attached with respect to the corners 8a, the work process can be significantly reduced and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

The pinching portions 9a and 9b attached with the torsion spring 10 inserted through the shaft portion 9e are in a state in which the urging force is directed downward by the torsion spring 10. However, since the rotation restricting portion 9g comes into contact with the tip of the wall portion 8c, the rotation of the pinch piece portions 9a and 9b is stopped at this position.

In the back-to-back pinch pieces 9a and 9b of the adjacent pinch portions 9, both rotation restricting portions 9g are in contact with the tip of one wall portion 8c in a staggered state. This is possible by reducing the thickness of the rotation restricting portions 9g of the pinch pieces 9a and 9b having the same shape and turning the pinch pieces 9a and 9b upside down.

When using this clothes-drying hanger 1, first, the rotatable hook-shaped portion 7b is locked to the clothes-drying rod or the like. As described above, the pinch piece portions 9a and 9b before sandwiching the laundry are in a state where the sandwiching portions 9d are close to each other, and the rotation restricting portion 9g abuts on the tip of the wall portion 8c and stops at a predetermined position. ing. Then, the cloth at the place where the wet laundry C should be held is pulled horizontally with both hands, and the pair of pinch pieces 9a and 9b are pulled downward as shown by the arrow in FIG. Insert from.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 5, when the laundry C is inserted between the sandwiching portions 9d, the pinch piece portions 9a and 9b rotate upward against the downward urging force centering on the shaft portion 9e. Start moving. Since the pinching portion 9d is gently curved in an arc shape, even if the pinch pieces 9a and 9b rotate, any of the pinching portions 9d is always in close proximity to each other, and the pinching portion 9d is pinched to the laundry C. The force is constant.

When the laundry C is lifted upward, the laundry C moves upward while being held by the holding force of the torsion spring 10. When the sandwiching portions 9d come into contact with each other, the groove of the sandwiching portion 9d bites into the laundry C, and when the laundry C is sandwiched, the laundry C can be held without slipping.

Further, when a downward pulling force due to the weight of the wet laundry C or the like acts on the holding portion 9d, an operation of narrowing the space between the holding portions 9d is performed. By this operation, the non-slip groove of the pinching portion 9d in the laundry C further bites into the laundry C, and the pinching becomes stronger.

After the laundry C has been dried, as shown in FIG. 6, the operating pieces 9f are sandwiched between the operating pieces 9f in the direction of the arrow with their fingers against the urging force of the torsion spring 10, so that the holding portions 9d are separated from each other. The object C can fall from the holding portion 9d and be taken in.
