Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a locking device for attaching a clip to a clothes drying device.

(Prior Art) It is well known to have a large number of pinches attached to a clothes drying device, and the pinches are rotatably attached to the frame of the device around a shaft or suspended from a chain-like hanger. However, the shaft and chain must be molded separately and assembled. In addition, in cases where the pinch is attached directly to the frame, such as in Utility Model No. 57-14784, the movable range of the pinch is narrow, it is difficult to assemble, the pinch protrudes and gets in the way during storage, and the direction of the pinch is almost constant. The swing range is also narrow, making it inconvenient to use.

On the other hand, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 46-18363 has a structure in which the pinch is removably hung from a hook part of the frame by a spring leg, and the hook is provided with a winding part to prevent it from coming off. However, in the configuration of the invention, the hooking part is in the form of a narrow slit, so the range of movement of the pinch is narrow, making it difficult to handle. Since the spring leg is formed from one end of the spring that is loaded into the pinch, it is expensive, and because it is made of metal, it rusts easily.In particular, it has disadvantages such as being unable to fold or bend even if the pinch gets in the way when stored. be.

(Technical Issues) The purpose of this invention is to make it possible to freely change the direction and swing angle of the pinch both when in use and when not in use, making it easy to assemble, easy to store, and generally very easy to handle. An object of the present invention is to provide a pinch locking device for a clothes drying device.

(Technical Means) The purpose is to provide a hanging frame 2 as a hanging means, which projects outward from the lower side of the instrument body 1 in an arc shape, and is integrally formed with one of the clamping pieces 5 of the pinch 4. At the upper end of the extension rod 9, there is provided a hook piece 3 which is loosely fitted from above the hanging frame 2, and when the pinch 4 is folded, the extension rod 9 moves downwardly and inwardly from the main body 1 around the hook piece 3. The length of the extension rod 9 is set so that it can be rotated approximately 90 degrees to In addition to forming it short, the interval between the insertion end 3a and the extension rod 9 is formed smaller than the outer diameter of the hanging frame 2, and the extension rod 9 is further provided at the lower part of the instrument body 1 that can be folded and come into contact with the extension rod 9. This is achieved by a configuration in which a receiving notch 10 is provided.

(Example) To explain with the illustrated example, the main body 1 of the clothes drying apparatus shown in FIG. A large number of semicircular arc-shaped hanging frames 2 protrude toward each other at predetermined intervals, and each of the hanging frames 2 has substantially parallel base portions 2a, 2b and an arcuate portion 2c. Any type of pinch 4 can be used, but the one in the illustrated embodiment has a pair of clamping pieces 5 and 6 integrated at a fulcrum 7, and a spring 8 is attached to the end of one clamping piece 5. Inverted J through the formed stretching rod 9
An upwardly shaped hook piece 3 is integrally molded. Reference numeral 3a indicates an engaging end of the hook piece 3, and the gap between the engaging end 3a and the extension rod 9 is smaller than the outer diameter of the frame rod 9, and is formed so as to be difficult to pull out.

In this example, a hook piece 3 is provided on one of the clamping pieces 5 of each pinch 4 via an extension rod 9, so that it can swing approximately 180 degrees or more in the up, down, right and left directions. The pinch 4 is attached to the main body 1 with a hook piece 3 so as to be loosely fitted into the main body 1, and since it is on the outside at that time, a notch 10 is provided at the lower edge of the main body inner piece 1b so that it can be folded inward. The pinch 4 is placed inside through the extension rod 9 so as not to take up much space during packing, transporting or cleaning up. Note that the length of the extension rod 9 does not have to be as long as in Fig. 2, but when it is rotated inward into the main body,
It needs to be long enough to come inside the instrument body 1. 11 is a folding shaft of the main body 1, 12 is a hanging member,
Reference numeral 13 designates the hanging hook 14 as a rotating disk, 15 as a base for mounting a spring, 16 as a slope thereof, and 17 as an engaging protrusion.

The drawing rod 9 connecting the pinch 4 and the hook piece 3 is shown in a short example in FIG. Furthermore, it is more convenient to manufacture and handle the hook piece 3 if it is integrated with the clamping piece 5, but it can also be used by attaching a separately made member to the pinch 4. The device of the present invention constructed in this way and the clothes drying device incorporating the same are almost entirely made of synthetic resin. However, the pinch spring 8 is made of metal, and the folding shaft 11 may be made of resin or metal.

(Function) According to the above configuration, a large number of pinches 4 are hung from the main body suspension frame 2 by the hook pieces 3 and are attached in a loosely fitted state, and the hook pieces 3 allow the pinches 4 to be attached to the main body by approximately 180 degrees in the front, rear, left and right directions. You can shake more than that,
Since the hook piece 3 is difficult to remove from the frame rod 2, it is folded freely and the position of the hook piece 3 is adjusted to the base 2a of the hanging frame 2.
It can be moved from the arcuate portion 2c to the other base portion 2b. Therefore, not only can the direction of the pinch 4 be changed freely, but also it can take any angle without twisting or returning force, so for example, as shown in Figure 5, the laundry can be hung and spread out for drying. You can do this without applying excessive force to the laundry.

(Effect) Therefore, according to the present invention, the length of the locking end 3a of the hook piece 3 for suspending the pinch is formed to be shorter than the inner edge of the hanging frame 2, and the extension rod 9 provided with the hook 3 is Notches 10 are provided in the intersecting main body parts, so that when folded, all the pinches will not come into contact with the main body 1, and the extension rods 9 etc. will be placed inside without being forced to bend. As a result, the entire clothes drying device has the characteristic of becoming extremely flat. According to this configuration, the pinch 4 is suspended by the extension rod 9 and its orientation can be freely selected, making it very easy to use. In addition, since the hanging frame 2 is formed integrally with the main body 1 and the stretching rod 9 is formed integrally with the pinch 4, manufacturing time is not required and the cost is low. The distance between the pin 4 and the rod 9 makes it easy to attach and detach the pinch 4 and assemble it. Furthermore, since it can be folded with a pinch of 4, it does not get in the way, and when packing, transporting, or cleaning up, the clothes drying equipment is extremely thin and compact, and can be used not only when folded.
During use, the direction can be changed 180 degrees along the approximately arc-shaped suspension frame 2, and both ends are fixed in a fixed direction, making it extremely easy to use and making overall handling very easy. It has great practical effects.
