This constitution forces clothes to be exposed to sunshine for a desired time during the daytime to dry the clothes, and thereafter retracts the arm to a position below the waterproof covering.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a clothes drying device for residential use, and is particularly characterized in that a hook for hanging a clothes drying rod can be moved forward and backward.

(Conventional technology) For transportation, the house is equipped with a clothesline.

A clothesline consists of a clothesline or clothesline about 3 to 4 meters long and a support to support it at an appropriate height, and is installed in a place exposed to direct sunlight such as a garden, rooftop, or balcony. Washed clothes, bedding, etc. are hung on this string or ball.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) The purpose of drying clothes, etc. is not only to dry them, but also to expose them to direct sunlight to stretch out the atrophied fibers and sterilize them.

Therefore, it is desirable to dry clothes during the day and quickly absorb them as the temperature drops and the humidity rises after sunset, and it is especially desirable to dry clothes such as futons only while they are exposed to direct sunlight. However, since it takes several hours to dry clothes, etc., when housewives go out for errands or work, they have to return home after sunset and then take in the drying clothes. There is a problem that the drying effect will be weakened because it will contain moisture again.
In particular, there is a problem in that the dry state of futons and the like is rather impaired.

Also, if the sky becomes cloudy or it rains several hours after you dry your clothes, the clothes that have been dried may get wet.
There is a problem that washing itself is wasted.

As a result, housewives are forced to refrain from going out or put off doing laundry on such days, which restricts housewives' activities and increases the burden of domestic work.

The present invention enables temporary storage of clothes, etc. that have been dried under direct sunlight by automatically placing them under the eaves or overhang of a house at a desired time or when the weather changes. purpose.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the clothes drying device according to the present invention has the following features:
Install a support for a clothesline under a rain cover such as a residential eaves or an overhanging roof, and move the clothesline between a position outside the raincover that is exposed to direct sunlight and a position below the raincover where it is not exposed to rain. In addition, a means to automatically perform the movement using a timer or the like will be adopted.

(Function) When clothes, etc. are hung on the drying pole of the clothes drying device constructed as described above, the clothes, etc. are exposed to sunlight for a desired period of time to dry, and then taken under the rain cover.

(Example 1) Hereinafter, a clothes drying device according to the present invention will be specifically described based on an illustrated example.

This clothes drying device consists of a hook 1 for hanging a clothes line, a clothes line, a hanger, etc., an arm 2 that supports this hook, and a structure 3 that advances and retreats the hook 1. It is provided under a rain cover 4 having an appropriate length and width, and by retracting the hook 1, the hook 1 is inserted under the rain cover 4 to prevent rain from getting on clothes, etc. hung on it. It is configured so that it does not.

FIG. 1 shows an example in which an arm 2 is formed to be extendable and retractable, and a hook 1 is attached to the tip of the arm 2, and the hook 1 is moved forward and backward by extending and contracting the arm 2.

This arm 2 has a large number of connecting rods 21 of the same length intersecting each other in an X shape, and the intersection points are pinned to form a pair.
The arms 2 are connected to each other by being pinned in order, and the length of the arm 2 is changed by changing the distance between the rear end of the connecting rod 21a at the base end and the rear end of the connecting rod 2lb.

The mechanism 3 for moving the hook 1 forward and backward is the connecting rod 2 at the base end of the arm 2 described above. A male spiral shaft 32 is attached to a support frame 31, and a female spiral 33 is screwed to this. Further, the male shaft 32 is connected to a forward/reverse motor 34,
The female spiral 33 moves up and down by rotating it forward and backward.

The connecting rod 21 at the proximal end of the arm 2 is attached to this female spiral 33.
The rear end of the connecting rod 2lb is attached to the supporting frame frame 31 at an appropriate position, and the male butterfly shaft 32
is reversed and the female spiral 33 goes up and down, the distance between the rear end of the connecting rod 21a and the rear end of the connecting rod 2lb changes accordingly,
Thus, arm 2 expands and contracts.

Of course, when the arm 2 is extended, it becomes longer than the rain cover 4, and the hook attached to its tip protrudes from the rain cover 4, and when it is contracted, it becomes shorter than the rain cover 4, so that the hook l fits under it. It is being formed.

Although not shown, the forward/reverse motor 34 is equipped with a timer, a light sensor, a water drop sensor, etc., and is activated after a desired time has elapsed, when sunlight is blocked, or when it starts to rain. Once the arm 2 has been extended, it can be retracted.

(Embodiment 2) FIG. 3 shows an example in which the length of the arm 2 is fixed and the hook 1 is moved forward and backward along the arm.

This arm 2 is a kind of hanger rail, and consists of a rail 26 of a predetermined length and a sliding piece 27 that moves forward and backward along this rail 26. The hook 1 is housed in this sliding piece 27. It is attached.

The mechanism 3 for advancing and retracting the hook moves the sliding piece 27 back and forth along the rail 26, and is a type of chain system, with sprockets and soots at the base and tip of the rail 26, respectively. 36a and 36b are attached to which a chain 37 is suspended, and a forward/reverse rotation motor 38 is connected to the sprocket 36a.

A sliding piece 27 is connected to one point of the chain 37, and when the chain 37 is rotated back and forth, the sliding piece 27 is moved back and forth accordingly.

In the illustrated embodiment, the sliding piece 27a that is not connected to the chain 37 is further connected to other sliding pieces 27b and 27c by a chain 28, and a hook 1 is attached to each of them.

Further, a pair of left and right arms 2 are installed at appropriate intervals. And the sprocket 36a of both advancing and retreating mechanisms 3
, 36a are connected via a connecting rod 39, the chains 37, 37 rotate synchronously, and the corresponding sliding pieces 27 reciprocate in sync with each other. Clothesline between 11. Alternatively, a clothesline can be hung on it.The forward/reverse motor 38 is also equipped with a timer, a light sensor, a water drop sensor, etc., as in the first embodiment, so that it can be set up after a desired time has elapsed or when exposed to sunlight. The sliding piece 27, which has been advanced to the tip of the rail 26, can be moved back when it is blocked or when it starts to rain.

(Effects of the Invention) As detailed above, in the clothes drying device according to the present invention, the support for the clothes drying rod is provided under a cover such as an eave or an overhanging roof of a house, and the hook is placed in a position protruding outside from the rain cover. , move it between the position below this where it is not exposed to rain,
