Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to a stand for a clothes dryer.

In recent years, the popularity of clothes dryers has increased significantly.
In particular, the so-called home laundry system, in which a dryer is installed above a washing machine, is rapidly gaining popularity in order to save space. The width of the currently manufactured home laundry stands can be adjusted to match the washing machine being installed, and can be installed from narrow width fully automatic washing machines to large width two-tub washing machines. It's becoming like that. However, the dryer stand at the top of the stand does not take into account changes in the depth dimension relative to the dryer capacity. If you purchase a dryer with a similar design, you also have to purchase a special stand for it, which is very uneconomical.

The purpose of the present invention is to enable all washing machines and dryers to be installed on one type of home laundry stand.

In order to achieve the above objectives, this invention makes the width of the home laundry stand variable, the depth of the upper shelf on which the dryer is installed, and the height of the stand itself can be adjusted to match the washing machine installed. It can be adjusted up and down.

An arm 2 and a leg 3 are attached to the upper and lower parts of the frame 1 in a U-shape, and an adjustable leg 5 for height adjustment is screwed into the lower surface of the leg 3. A slide frame 6 is housed in the upper part of the frame 1 and has one end welded integrally with the arm 2 so as to be movable in the vertical direction within the frame 1. A plurality of holes 7 are provided in the front part of the frame 1, and the frame 1 and the slide frame 6 are connected through the holes 7 with screws 8.
are fixed together. A slide arm 9 is housed in the front part of the arm 2 so as to be movable back and forth within the arm 2, and is fixed integrally with a screw 11 through a hole 10 provided on the side surface of the arm 2. . A reinforcing plate 12 is integrally attached to the inside of the leg 3 with screws 13, so that the width of the frame 1 can be varied by combining mutually provided holes. An X-shaped reinforcement beam 1 is attached to the rear of the frame 1.
4 are attached by screws 15 (not shown), and in combination with a plurality of screw holes 16 (not shown) provided on the rear surface of the frame 1, the width of the frame 1 can be made variable like the reinforcing plate 12. Frame pipes 17 and 18 are attached between the arms 2, and the frame pipes 17 and 18 are integrally welded to each other by two frame shafts 19. A toe lock 20 is integrally welded to one end of the frame pipes 17 and 18, and a slide pipe 21 and 2 to which a toe lock 20 is welded to the other end.
2 are housed in frame pipes 17 and 18, respectively. Furthermore, the slide pipes 21 and 22 are
The frame pipes 17 and 18 are attached with screws 24 through holes 23 provided in the frame pipes 17 and 18 so that the width can be adjusted. Also, frame pipe 17,
18 are attached to the arm 2 by screws 25 through respective toe pins 20, but as the slide arm 9 moves, the tome pins 20 follow the movement of the slide arm 9.
The upper shelf 4 having a certain depth can be moved by simply moving the attachment to the arm 2, and the depth D can be made variable.

The present invention will be explained in detail with the above configuration.

When installing a narrow width fully automatic washing machine on the lower side of the stand 26 and installing a medium-sized dryer that matches the washing capacity of the fully automatic washing machine on the upper side, reinforcing plate 1
2, reinforcement beam 14, frame pipe 17,1
8. Adjust the slide arms 9 individually to make the width of the stand 26 the narrowest as shown by the solid line, and then adjust the slide arm 9 to match the depth of the dryer to make the width D the widest as shown in Figure 2. They are smaller and can be installed individually. In addition, when changing the dryer to a larger one with a larger depth, the slide arm 9 is pulled out to the maximum extent as shown by the dashed line, and fixed to the arm 2 with the screw 11, and the upper shelf 4 having a certain depth is moved forward. By simply changing the attachment position of the toe grip 20 to the arm 2 and fixing it with the screw 25, the depth D can be increased as shown in FIG. 3, and the depth dimension can be made to fit perfectly in a large-sized dryer. Therefore, since the upper shelf 4 can be moved and attached while being firmly welded, the strength of the stand 26 will not be reduced. When installing a large two-tub washing machine with a wider width, frame pipes 17 and 18
The dimensions can be readjusted to suit a large two-tub washing machine by simply pulling out the inner slide pipes 21 and 22 to the maximum extent as shown by the dashed lines and adjusting the reinforcing plate 12 and reinforcing beam 14 accordingly. Can be done.

Furthermore, by loosening the screws 8 of the frame 1, adjusting the slide frame 6 to the height of the washing machine, and retightening the screws 8, the height of the stand 26 can be adjusted to match the height of the washing machine to be installed.

As described above, the present invention arranges a pair of U-shaped frames 1 having arms 2 at the upper part and legs 3 at the lower part, and connects both frames 1 and 1 with a reinforcing beam 14. , 1 are supported between the arms 2 of the frame shaft 19.
The frame pipe 17 is placed in front of the arm 2, and the slide arms 9 provided at both ends of the frame pipe are slidably inserted into the arm 2. The pipe 18 is located on the rear side of the arm 2 and is configured so that it can be attached to the arm 2 by changing its position back and forth.

According to this configuration, the arm 2 of the frame pipe 18
By changing the mounting position of the dryer back and forth, the position where the dryer is placed on the stand 1 can be adjusted back and forth. In other words, it has the practical advantage of being able to freely choose the distance from the wall where the dryer is installed.
