Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field This invention relates to a clothes drying device in which a clothes drying shelf formed of metal wire is capable of suspending shoe drying devices in a detachable manner.

Conventional Technology As a shelf-like drying rack, a drying shelf formed in the shape of a rectangular mesh board made of metal wire can be installed horizontally by being hung on a balcony handrail or a protective fence using a pair of hanging rods. (for example, Jikko Sho 34)
-10768, Utility Model No. 56-17031, etc.), and similar drying racks that can be placed horizontally on the floor using support legs (for example, Utility Model Number 52-19740, etc.) are known.

By the way, such a drying rack is used exclusively for drying laundry such as towels, but by combining it with a suitable shoe drying device, it can be used to dry not only the laundry but also shoes after washing. I can do it.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, the above-mentioned shoe drying device must not only be able to stably hold shoes in a position that is fully exposed to the sun, but also be easy to put on and take off the shoes, as well as be able to It is necessary to be able to maintain drying shoes in a state where they do not interfere with the laundry on the drying rack, and it is also necessary to be structurally simple and to be able to be removed from the drying rack when drying shoes is not necessary or when storing them. It is also desirable that the appearance when combined with a drying rack does not look strange.

This invention was made to solve the above problem, and consists of a combination of a clothes dryer body having a clothes drying rack and a shoe drying device that can be freely connected to and detached from the clothes dryer body.
A pair of shoes can be attached to the shoe drying device in a position that facilitates drying with a simple operation, and can be easily removed, and the shoe drying device and the shoes do not come into contact with the laundry on the clothes drying rack. Another object of the present invention is to provide a clothes drying device that is structurally simple and has a good appearance.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, a clothes drying device according to this invention is provided with a clothes drying rack formed of metal wire in the shape of a rectangular mesh plate and held horizontally. The main body and
and a shoe drying device that is removably suspended from the above-mentioned clothes drying rack. It is supported by the lower part of the hanging rod, and both hanging rods are provided with an inverted U-shaped hook part at the upper end that can be engaged with the side rod part of the drying rack, while the clothes drying rack has a side rod. A stopper bar that comes into contact with the hanging piece on the tip side of the hook that engages with the rod and prevents the hanging rod from rotating inward of the drying shelf is fixedly installed parallel to the side rod in plan view. I take it as a thing.

Function The shoe drying device is capable of drying a pair of washed shoes by hanging them on a pair of shoe hooks, one at a time, and hanging them through a pair of hanging rods with both shoe hooks facing outward. It is suspended from the side rod of the drying rack so that it cannot rotate in a horizontal plane. However, the hanging rod and the shoe hook protrusion are arranged in an L-shape when viewed from the side, and since the weight of the shoe is applied to the tip of the shoe hook that extends forward, when the shoe is locked, Due to the shift of the center of gravity, a force is applied to the shoe drying rack that tries to rotate it inwardly around the side rods of the drying rack that suspends it, but the shoe drying rack is not fixed to the rack. The above rotation is prevented by a stopper rod.

The above-mentioned stopper rod only needs to correspond to one of the hanging rods of the shoe drying device, and an existing shelf-like clothes drying device can be used as the main body of the clothes drying device of this invention by simply providing the stopper rod.

Embodiment An embodiment of this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In Figs. 1 to 5, 1 is a clothes drying rack body made entirely of metal wire, and a plurality of horizontal bars 3, 3...
A drying rack 4 constructed in parallel to form a rectangular mesh board shape.
and a pair of left and right hanging frames 5, 5 for holding the drying rack 4 in a horizontal state and locking it to a balcony handrail, protective fence, etc.

Each hanging frame 5 has a stepped hook portion 6a at its upper end and a vertical rod 6 which is pivoted at the U-shaped lower end 6b at the rear end position of the side rod portion 2a of the clothes drying rack 4, and one end thereof is connected to the vertical rod 6. It consists of an inclined support rod 7 which is welded to the middle part of the vertical rod 6 and pivoted at a position slightly forward of the middle of the side rod part 2a at the other end 7a of the U-shape, and when not in use, the clothes drying rack 4 It can be folded to overlap.

However, on both the left and right sides of the drying rack 4,
Two horizontal bars 3, 3 are located near the rear of the drying shelf 4 at the front end and middle part of one short metal bar 8, close to the side rod part 2a and parallel to it in plan view.
The rear part thereof forms a stopper rod 9 that is slightly inclined downward and projects rearward.

10 is a shoe dryer made of metal wire,
A pair of shoe hooks 11 arranged parallel to each other in a forward extending manner,
11, and a support frame 10b in which the upper and lower parts of a pair of vertical hanging rods 12, 12 are connected by connecting rods 13a, 13b.

In the shoe hanging frame 10a, each shoe hanging part 11 is formed of a single wire rod bent into a U-shape in a plan view and a wide-angle V-shape in a side view.
The proximal ends of 1 and 11 are integrally connected to a pivot rod 14 and a locking rod 15 parallel thereto. However,
Both ends of the pivot rod 14 are folded in a U-shape to form a stopper portion 14a, and the center portion of the locking rod 15 is formed with a convex bent portion to form a stopper portion 14a.
5a is formed.

On the other hand, both hanging rods 12, 12 of the support frame 10b have an inverted U-shaped hook portion 16 bent backward at the upper end, and a U-shaped support portion 12a is also formed at the lower end. By fitting the pivot rods 14 of the shoe rack 10a into both the support parts 12a, 12a, the shoe rack 10a is rotatably connected to the support frame 10b in a vertical plane. Therefore, the shoe drying frame 10a is arranged in an L-shape with respect to the support frame 10b as shown in FIGS. In the posture, both stopper portions 14a, 14a of the pivot rod 14
Since it comes into contact with both hanging rods 12, 12 and prevents downward rotation due to its own weight, it is stably held in the drying position and can be raised from the drying position to lock the locking rod 15. By engaging the portion 15a with the lower connecting rod 13b of the support frame 10b, the fourth
As shown in the figure, the proximal end 11a of the shoe hanger 11 is held in a draining position in which it is vertically disposed overlapping the hanging rod 12 in a side view.

In the clothes drying device having the above structure, the clothes drying device main body 1 is locked to a balcony handrail, a protective fence, etc. via the hanging frames 5, 5. This is the hook part 6 of each hanging frame 5.
This is done by hooking the hook 6a on the top of the handrail, etc., and since the hook 6a is formed in a step-like shape, it can be adapted to the width of the top of the handrail, etc. The clothes drying rack 4 of the clothes drying rack body 1 locked in this manner is held horizontally, and laundry such as towels can be hung on the horizontal bars 3, 3, . . . to dry.

When drying shoes, the shoe drying device 10 is suspended from the side rods 2a on both sides or one side of the clothes drying rack 4 with the shoe rack 11 facing outward in the drying position. This operation is performed by first moving the hooks 16, 16 of both hanging rods 12, 12 upward at a position where one of the hooks 16 disposed on the rear side of the clothes drying rack 4 comes off behind the tip of the stopper rod 9. It is sufficient to fit the shoe drying device 10 into the side rod portion 2a of the clothes drying rack 4 to suspend the shoe drying device 10, and then move the shoe drying device 10 as a whole to the front of the clothes drying rack 4. As a result, the tip side hanging piece 16a of one of the hook portions 16 disposed on the rear side is the first,
As shown in Fig. 5, it is arranged so as to be sandwiched between the stopper rod 9 and the side rod portion 2a.

In this way, one pair of washed shoes A is hung on both shoe hooks 11, 11 of the shoe drying device 10 suspended on the clothes drying rack 4, one by one, to dry.
1 is inserted into the bag-like part of the front of the shoe, so in the water-drying position as shown in Figure 4, the shoe A is held downward and in an inclined position without any water pooling, and in the drying position as shown in Figure 2. In the posture, it is placed in an upwardly tilted backward position. Therefore, by fully rotating the drainer in the draining position and then changing to the drying position, the outer materials such as leather and cloth, which tend to contain moisture, and the inside of the shoe can be exposed to sunlight and dried in a short time. Alternatively, the shoe drying device 10 may be hung on the clothes drying rack 4 with shoes attached in advance.

After drying the shoes, the shoe drying device 10 can be easily removed from the clothes drying rack main body 1 by simply moving it to the rear side of the clothes drying rack 4 and lifting it upward. Therefore, this removal operation can be performed without any problem even if the shoes are still attached.

Here, in the above-mentioned drying position, the weight of the shoes A is transferred to the shoe rack part 11 arranged in an L shape with respect to the hanging rod 12.
, a force is applied to rotate the entire shoe drying rack 10 inward of the clothes drying rack 4 around the side rods 2a, but this rotation is caused by the hooks on one side. This is prevented by the contact between the tip side hanging piece 16A of No. 16 and the stopper rod 9.

On the other hand, if the stopper rod 9 is not provided, as shown in FIG. This results in interference with the laundry items B, causing problems such as drying being delayed and laundry items B being wrinkled due to contact between laundry items B or laundry items B and shoes A.

Note that the clothes drying device of this invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments; for example, a floor-mounted type in which a clothes drying rack is supported by supporting legs may be used as the clothes drying device body, or a shoe drying device may be used. It is also possible to use hanging rods fixed to the shoe drying frame as the device. Moreover, the stopper rod of the clothes drying rack may protrude forward, contrary to the example shown.

Effects of the invention According to the clothes drying device of this invention, it is possible to dry laundry such as towels and washed shoes at the same time by using the clothes drying rack of the clothes drying device itself and the shoe drying device suspended from the clothes drying rack. In addition, since the shoe drying device is prevented from rotating inward of the drying rack, it does not interfere with the laundry, and drying due to contact between laundry items or laundry and shoes due to this interference You can avoid delays and wrinkles in your laundry.

In addition, with this clothes drying device, the shoe drying device can be attached to and detached from the clothes drying rack, so when drying shoes is not necessary, the clothes drying device itself can be used alone, which reduces the space for drying clothes. Both have the advantage that they can be stored with low storage space and that it is extremely easy to connect and disconnect the shoe drying device from the clothes drying rack.

Furthermore, in the clothes drying device of this invention, since the clothes drying shelf and the shoe drying device are made of the same metal wire material, the shoe drying device does not feel strange when installed and has a good appearance. The material and manufacturing costs are low, and there is also the advantage that an existing shelf-like clothes drying device can be used as the main body of the clothes drying device without major modification.
