Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a clothes-drying pole hanger of the type in which the base of a pole-hanging arm is pivoted on a mounting support so that the arm can be protruded or folded.

[Conventional technology]

Conventional rod hangers of this type have an arm with a rod hook protruding from and fixed to a window sill or under an eaves.In addition, the base of the arm is mounted on a mounting support with a pivot or a loose rack, and the arm is rotated when in use. There is a type in which the arm moves or bends to protrude forward, and after use, the arm is folded by rotating backwards to the side or bending upward. It is conceivable that the arm be connected through the handle, and when in use, the arm is rotated to project upward, and after use, the arm is rotated downward and folded into a hanging shape.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, the arms of the older models mentioned above always protrude when not in use, which not only obstructs walking on the balcony, but also poses a risk of injury due to contact. Although it does not interfere with walking on the floor, it requires extra space to rotate the arm laterally after use, making it unsuitable for narrow balconies. The type of arm that rotates and bends upwards to latch does not interfere with walking on the balcony, but when not in use, the latch arm may tilt unexpectedly due to vibration or collision with an external object. There is a risk of injury, and when not in use, the arms and drying rods protrude above the balcony, which not only obstructs the view, but also has the disadvantage of damaging the appearance of the building as they are exposed to the outside. Of course, all of the devices mentioned above have arms that protrude horizontally when in use, so the drying rods are only placed parallel to each other, and the weight of the drying items is suspended, so they are protected from ventilation and sunlight. I regret not being able to receive enough attention.

However, in contrast to the above, when the arm is attached to a support via a gear mechanism, the arm can be rotated and installed horizontally or tilted upwards during use, so drying items can be suspended in various ways, allowing for ventilation and sunlight. In addition, the arm folds down into a hanging shape after use, so there is no problem with walking on the balcony, and there is no risk of the arm tipping over, so there is no danger when it is not in use. Although it has various advantages such as not obstructing the field of view or damaging the appearance of the building, it has a complicated mechanism and is prone to failure, especially due to the adhesion of rainwater, so it cannot be used for a long time and is structurally expensive. Therefore, it is also unsuitable for general use.

In order to eliminate all of the conventional disadvantages mentioned above, the present invention makes maximum use of the narrow balcony to suspend drying items as effectively as possible, and also prevents the arm from moving erratically or leaning unexpectedly when not in use, causing danger. In addition, it is easy to handle and durable, and can be provided at low cost, especially in narrow spaces. To provide a clothes-drying pole hanger suitable for a balcony.

[Means for solving problems]

The mounting support in the present invention has a substantially elongated cubic shape, has a vertically elongated insertion hole inside from the front surface, and has a shallow guide groove and a deep guide groove vertically opposed to each other at the front ends of the upper and lower plates of the insertion hole. The rod hanging arm has a hollow housing shape with hooking parts provided at approximately the middle and lower parts of the inner wall of the back plate, respectively, and the rod hanging arm has hooks at intervals in the longitudinal direction, excluding the base, at each rod hanging part and on the left and right along the upper and lower edges. Each sliding rod that fits into each guide groove is provided protrudingly, and a projecting piece bent in an inverted C-shape is provided above the base end of the upper edge, and a free groove is formed on the inner surface of the projecting piece. The lower part is formed into a beveled edge, and wide seat pieces are provided on the left and right sides of the middle part of the beveled edge to protrude from the guide groove at the lower end of the support, and the base of the arm is inserted into the mounting support. A shaft rod is inserted through the hole and inserted into the play groove on the lower surface of the protrusion at the base from the middle part of the side surface of the support, and is interposed and pivotally supported.

[Effect]

This device is constructed as described above, so after fixing each mounting support to the left and right sides of the upper inside of the handrail on the outside of the balcony, insert the base of the arm through each hole in each of these supports. The shaft rods inserted into the middle portions of the left and right side plates of each support are inserted into the play grooves on the lower surface of the protrusion to complete the assembly.

Therefore, in the normal case when drying clothes, if the base end of the arm is hooked to the hook on the middle part of the inner surface of the back wall of the support, the arm will be supported by protruding horizontally together with the shaft rod, so that the drying rod can be attached to each pole hook. They are stacked side by side and the dried food is suspended from each of these drying rods. If the sunlight is poor, rotate the arm diagonally upward, pull it out, and then push it in again.The base end of the arm will now be hooked to the lower hook on the inner surface of the back wall of the support, and the seat piece on the diagonal edge of the base. is superimposed on the inner bottom of the lower end of the support body, and together with the shaft supports the arm in an upwardly inclined state. When the clothesline is finished in this way, when the arm is pushed outward to make it vertical, the left and right sliding legs of the arm immediately slide down the upper and lower guide grooves at the front end of the support, and at this time, the protruding pieces are aligned with the axis of the support. It comes off the rod and descends, and is held in a hanging shape with the base as the lower end.

As described above, this rod hanger can be used for drying clothes by having the arm protrude horizontally like a general rod hanger, and the arm can also be set diagonally upward. Since the latching part and the seat piece on the slanted edge of the base overlap with the inner bottom of the support body and are supported at three points together with the shaft rod, the arm can be held stably even when raised high. Even heavy items can be hung easily on the drying rods, which are installed in stages.They also receive good ventilation and sunlight, so the clothes can be hung efficiently and quickly at all times. When hung up, dried items are less likely to be exposed from the outside and therefore do not damage the building's appearance. However, after use, when the arm is pushed outward to the vertical position, the arm immediately descends and folds into a hanging shape, so walking on the balcony is not hindered, and the arm is supported with its tip as the upper end. Since it is supported by the upper and lower guide grooves of the body, there is no risk of it moving accidentally due to vibration or impact, so it has the advantage of being kept safely on the balcony at all times. Of course, it does not damage the appearance of the product.

The mechanism of this device is extremely simple, making it easy to operate, durable, and inexpensive, making it especially suitable for installation on narrow balconies of high-rise residences.

A hollow housing-shaped mounting support W comprising guide grooves 4 arranged vertically opposite each other, a hook 6 protruding from the middle part of the inner wall of the back plate 5, and a hook 7 recessed at the bottom; Sliding rods T, T' that fit into the respective guide grooves are protruded from the base end of the upper edge on the left and right sides along the upper and lower edges of each circular rod hook R and at equal intervals in the longitudinal direction except for 8'. A protruding piece L bent in an inverted F-shape is provided above, a free groove h is formed on the inner surface of the protruding piece, and a beveled edge F is formed below the base 8', to the left and right of the middle part of the bevelled edge. A rod hanging arm 8 with a wide seat Z protruding from the guide groove 4 at the lower end of the support W is provided, and the back of each support W is connected to the handrail 1 on the outside of the balcony.
After the bolts 11 are used to fix the left and right sides to the inside of the upper part at 0, insert the base 8' of each rod hanging arm 8 through the insertion hole H of each support W and insert it into the play groove h on the inner surface of the protrusion L. Each shaft rod P is inserted into the middle part of the left and right side plates 9 of each support body W near the front. By hooking the arm 8 to the hook 6 in the middle part, the arm 8 is caused to protrude horizontally together with the shaft P, and by hooking the base end of the arm 8 to the hook 7, the arm 8 is attached to the beveled edge of the base 8'. The seat piece Z on F overlaps with the inner bottom surface of the support W and is raised diagonally upward together with the shaft P.
