[Prior Art]

 In general, when the weather is nice, you can see the porch and garden of any house where the futon is dried well, but very few homes hang pillows along with the futon. Like the futon, the pillow needs to be sufficiently dried, but it cannot be hung on the clothesline as easily as the futon, and its handling is troublesome. This is because there are fewer rims that can be dried. Therefore, in the past, a pillow-drying device for drying only the pillow separately from the futon has been proposed.

Conventionally, as this kind of pillow, a net-like one as shown in FIG. 7 or a belt-like or string-like one as shown in FIG. 8 has been represented. The former pillow drier 1 is one in which hooks 4 and 5 are attached to both upper and lower corners of a mesh body 3 formed to have a size sufficient to wrap the pillow 2. After wrapping it, the hooks 5 at both corners of the lower end are locked to the upper part of the mesh body 3 to fix the pillow 2, and the hanging hook 4 at the upper end of the mesh body 3 is hooked on the clothesline 6 and hung. (See Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-46892). Further, the latter pillow drape 7 has two belts 9 each having a hanging hook 8 attached to the upper end thereof connected by a pair of upper and lower cushioning members 10, and each belt 9 has a tightening belt 11 having an adjusting metal fitting 11. Twelve is attached. The pillow 2 has the pillow 2 laid between the two belts 9 and the fastening belt 12 fixes the pillow 2 (see Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 1-145391).

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the above-mentioned conventional pillows 1 and 7, the pillow 2 is hung in each case, and in order to tighten the pillow 2 with the mesh body 3 or the tightening belt 12, the shape of the pillow 2 is changed. Will collapse. Moreover, in the case where the pillow 2 is hung, it was not possible to effectively irradiate the central portion of the pillow 2 on which the head is placed with the light from the sun.

Therefore, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to prevent the pillow from losing its shape when the pillow is dried, and to allow the sunlight to effectively hit the central portion of the pillow.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 shows an overall view of a pillowcase 15 according to the present invention. The pillow dryer 15 includes a main body portion 16 on which the pillow is placed, and a suspending portion 17 which supports the main body portion 16 and has locking means. The main body portion 16 and the suspending portion 17 are provided. Are connected to each other via a column 18. In this embodiment, the main body portion 16 is composed of three elongated members 19, 20, 21 and the base ends of the members 19, 20, 21 are connected to the lower portion of the support 18. Particularly, in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the central member 19 is fixed to the column 18, and the left and right members 20, 21 are pivotally supported so as to be rotatable in the left and right directions. ing. That is, the left and right members 20 and 21 are formed inwardly curved to each other, and the cylindrical rotation support portion is formed with holes 22 and 23 through which the support column 18 penetrates at the base end portions. 24 and 25 are formed. The rotation support portions 24 and 25 are formed to have a thickness of about half the thickness of the base end portions of the members 20 and 21, and the step portions of the left and right members 20 and 21 are on the opposite sides of the upper and lower sides. Has been formed. As a result, as shown in FIG. 3, the rotation supporting portions 24 and 25 of the left and right members 20 and 21 are overlapped with each other when they are fitted into the support column 18, and these both rotation supporting portions 24 and 25 are combined. The thickness and the thickness of the members 20 and 21 are substantially the same. As a result, when the left and right members 20 and 21 are expanded, the heights of the left and right members 20 and 21 can be set substantially on the same plane.

On the other hand, a fixed support portion 26 having the same shape as the rotation support portions 24 and 25 is also formed at the base end portion of the central member 19, and the left and right members 20 and 21 are provided on both left and right sides thereof. Is extended, stopper pieces 27a and 27b are provided upright to contact the members 20 and 21 to regulate the maximum expansion angle of the members. Further, although the member 19 extends straight forward, a step portion 28 that bends downward is provided below the fixed support portion 26, and when the left and right members 20 and 21 are compressed, the respective members 20 and 21 are compressed. It prevents 19, 20, 21 from interfering with each other. Further, the central member 19 is formed shorter than the left and right members 20 and 21, and as shown in FIG. 1, the tip ends of the left and right members 20 and 21 slightly project when contracted. However, the tip ends of the three members 19, 20 and 21 are arranged on the same line 29 when expanded. Instead of the stopper pieces 27a, 27b, or by connecting together with the stopper pieces 27a, 27b, a chain (not shown) having a predetermined length between the central member 19 and the left and right members 20, 21. Alternatively, when the left and right members 20, 21 are expanded, the chain can be tensioned to regulate the expansion angle, and further, between the central member 19 and the left and right members 20, 21. It is also possible to provide a bellows (not shown).

As shown in FIG. 4, the three members 19, 20, and 21 constituting the main body 16 are inclined downward at an angle θ with respect to the horizontal axis 30, and when the pillow 2 is placed. The upper surface of the pillow 2 is efficiently exposed to the sunlight. This inclination angle θ is not so strict, and is appropriately set within a range of about 45 ° from the horizontal axis 30 side. Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, when the main body 16 is expanded, the central member 19 is set to a slightly lower position than the left and right members 20 and 21. .. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, when the pillow 2 is placed, the central portion of the pillow 2 is slightly recessed to increase the sense of stability. Further, projections 31, 32, 33 as engaging means are respectively bent upward at the tips of the three members 19, 20, 21. These projections 31, 32, 33 are provided to prevent the pillow 2 from sliding down by coming into contact with the pillow 2, and as described above, the members 19, 20, 21 are inclined downward. Therefore, the slip-down can be effectively prevented. It is also possible to increase the frictional force with the pillow 2 by forming the upper surface of each member 19, 20, 21 into a flat shape and engraving a number of fine grooves on the flat surface. As described above, in this embodiment, the engaging means is composed of the projections 31, 32, 33 having a simple structure, but other structures may be used as long as the structure prevents the pillow 2 from slipping off. Alternatively, for example, the protrusions 31, 32, 33 themselves may be urged toward the members 19, 20, 21 by springs so as to be positively engaged with the pillow 2 or configured as described above. An engaging member may be provided on the upper ends of the protrusions 31, 32, 33 so that the protrusions 31, 32, 33 are always urged toward the member side 19, 20, 21 by a spring.

In the figure, reference numeral 34 is a fixing ring for connecting the left and right members 20 and 21 to the support column 18, and a through hole 35 of the support column 18 is formed at the center in the vertical direction, An insertion hole 37 for fixing the pin 36 to the support 18 is formed on the side surface on the coaxial line. On the other hand, the column 18 is formed in a columnar shape, the lower end of which is fixed to the central member 19 and a through hole 38 through which the pin 36 is inserted is opened in the central portion. Flat portions 39a and 39b are formed on the left and right side surfaces of the upper end portion, and through holes 40 are formed in the flat portions 39a and 39b.

On the other hand, as shown in the figure, the hanging portion 17 has a substantially curved shape as a whole, and extends obliquely upward from the upper end portion of the pillar 18 toward the member side. The hanging portion 17 is formed in a U-shaped cross section, and the lower end portion of the hanging portion 17 is fitted into the upper flat surface portions 39a and 39b of the support column 18 from the rear side, and the pin 41 penetrating from the side side is attached to the support column 18. It is pivotally supported. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, the suspending portion 17 can be bent in the front-rear direction, and in use, it is erected until the rear surface of the lower end portion abuts on the support pillar 18, while in storage, the suspending portion 17 is tilted forward. This makes it possible to store the whole compactly. The rear surface of the lower end portion of the hanging portion 17 comes into contact with the pillar when the hanging portion 17 is erected as described above and serves as a stopper, and when the pillow 2 is dried, the load concentrates on this portion. Therefore, it is thicker than other parts to increase strength. A suspending hook 42 as a locking means is provided at the upper end of the suspending portion 17 for suspending the clothesline 6 or the like. As described above, in this embodiment, since the hanging portion 17 is extended from the column 18 to the member side and the hanging hook 42 is provided at the upper end portion thereof, each member 19, 20, 21 can be operated even when the pillow 2 is placed. The pillow 2 can be dried with good balance without being shaken in the front-back direction.

When assembling the above pillowcase 15, as shown in FIG. 2, first, the support 18 is fixed to the fixed support portion 26 of the central member 19, and then the left and right members 20 are attached to the support 18. , 21 are fitted, and further, the fixing ring 34 is fitted from above, and then the pin 36 is passed through the fixing ring 34 and the support 18 to rotatably connect the left and right members 20, 21. Next, the suspension part 17 is also fixed to the upper end of the support column 18 with the pin 41 to complete the assembly. In the support structure of the main body portion 16 assembled in this way, each member 19, 20, 21 forming the main body portion 16 is connected at a single point, and the left and right members 20, 21 are connected to the stopper as a fulcrum. It can be expanded in a fan shape in the horizontal direction until it comes into contact with the pieces 27a and 27b. The maximum expansion angle can be adjusted by the positions of the stopper pieces 27a and 27b. For example, a rubber sheet (not shown) is provided in the gap 45 between the rotation support portions 24 and 25 of the left and right members 20 and 21. Etc., or by forming the contact surfaces of the rotation support portions 24, 25 in an uneven shape, a resistance is generated between the two when they are expanded and a feeling of weight is given when they are opened. The expansion angle can be set at an arbitrary position according to the size of 2. It should be noted that the interposition of the rubber sheet and the unevenness of the contact surface may be provided between the fixing support portion 26 of the central member 19 and the contact surface of the fixing ring 34. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, instead of interposing the rubber sheet or the unevenness of the contact surface as described above, one side is provided on the contact surface of the rotation support portions 24 and 25 of the left and right members 20 and 21. It is also possible to form a plurality of recesses 43 at predetermined intervals and to form a protrusion 44 that fits in the recesses 43 on the other side so that the left and right members 20, 21 can be gradually expanded. In the present invention, the maximum expansion angle of the left and right members 20, 21 can be set appropriately.

Next, the case of using the pillow dryer 15 of the present invention having the above structure will be described. First, the hanging portion 17 is erected from the stored state, and the hanging hook 42 is hooked on the clothesline 6 such as a veranda as shown in FIG. 5, and then the left and right members 20, 21 are moved in the left and right directions. Spread in a fan shape. Then, the pillow 2 is placed on the three members 19, 20 and 21 in a well-balanced manner and applied to the projections 31, 32 and 33 at the tip end. Pillow 2 is placed with a slight inclination, and the central part is slightly recessed to ensure a stable state, and in this state it is dried toward the sun. As described above, in this embodiment, since the pillow 2 is merely placed on the members 19, 20, 21 and the pillow is not hung or tightened as in the conventional case, the shape is never lost. Absent. In addition, since the pillow 2 on which the head is placed can be dried with the surface facing upward, and the members 19, 20, 21 themselves are inclined, the most necessary portion can be dried toward the sun and suspended. It can be dried more effectively than the method. Further, the pillow 2 is supported by the three members 19, 20 and 21, and the projections 31, 32 and 33 at the tips of the members engage with the pillow 2, so that the pillow 2 is stably supported. Therefore, the pillow 2 will not fall even if some wind blows.

When the back side is dried, it is sufficient to lift the pillow 2 from the members 19, 20, 21 once, turn it over to the opposite side, and place it on the members 19, 20, 21 again, and the balance of this device is good. Therefore, when the pillow 2 is once lifted from the members 19, 20, and 21, the members 19, 20, and 21 do not tilt, so that it can be easily performed. When the pillow 2 has been dried, the pillow 2 is removed from the main body 16, the left and right members 20 and 21 are pressed and contracted to align the three, and the hanging hook 42 is removed from the clothesline 6 and then the hanging portion 17 is bent. It can be easily stored in a compact size that does not get in the way.

In the above embodiment, the case where the main body is composed of three members 19, 20 and 21 has been described, but the number of members is not limited as long as the number of members is two or more. The shapes of the members 19, 20, and 21 are not limited to those shown in the above embodiment, and of course, any of the members 19, 20, and 21 may be curved upward. Further, in the above embodiment, the main body portion 16 and the suspending portion 17 are connected to each other via the supporting column 18, but it is also possible to directly connect without providing the supporting column 18 separately. The pillowcase according to the present invention can be made of plastic, wood, or the like.

[0017]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the pillow dryer of the present invention, the pillow can be dried stably by simply placing the pillow on the member, so that the pillow does not lose its shape. Also, since the members are inclined downward, the pillow surface to be dried has a positional relationship such that it faces the sun, and the pillow can be dried effectively. Furthermore, when the pillow is hung up, the member only needs to be expanded, and when the pillow is taken in, only the member needs to be compressed, so that it is easy to handle and can be stored compactly.
