Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a clothes drying device that supports a pole for drying laundry.

[Conventional technology]

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, in collective housing such as public housing, it has been known that the balcony of the lower-rise housing has a clothes drying rack suspended from a slab that constitutes the balcony of the upper-rise housing.

[The problem that the idea attempts to solve]

Although the above-mentioned known hanging clothes drying device is convenient in that it can be used on the floor of a balcony, it has the following problems.

Since the clothes-drying device is formed to a standard size and fixed to the slab, it is difficult to attach and detach the clothes-drying rod from the clothes-drying device depending on the user's height. That is, normally, the height of a balcony from the floor to the ceiling (bottom of an upper balcony) is 250 cm, and the length of the clothes drying rack in the hanging direction is 185 cm, so short housewives etc. This makes it difficult to attach and detach the rod.

In this regard, for example, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 52-67435, a new clothes-drying device can be attached to an existing clothes-drying device using a clamp fitting so that it can be moved up and down freely. be. Then,
According to this prior art, the clothes drying device can be adjusted up and down according to the user's height, making it easier to dry clothes and solving the above-mentioned problems.

However, in addition to the above-mentioned problems, the conventional clothes-drying equipment poses the following various problems.

That is, although the drying rack itself is installed at a high place as described above, when the laundry is being dried, the laundry sags, making it impossible to use the balcony floor for other purposes. This is a problem that cannot be ignored in apartment buildings where the living space, including the balcony, is small.

Therefore, in order to solve this problem, it is thought that it would be a good idea to configure the support metal fittings that support the clothesline to be moved to the outside space of the balcony, but in order to make this concrete, There are various other issues that should be further considered. That is, when adopting the above-mentioned movable structure, if the drying rack as a whole has a fragile structure, it will not be able to support the heavy laundry, and there is a risk that it will break and fall, causing an accident. However, there is also the problem that if the clothes drying tool swings during the movement, the laundry may fall from a high place. Furthermore,
There is also an unresolved problem that it is necessary to devise ways to make the movement easier for housewives and the like.
