BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a clothes-drying device which is attached to a suitable place such as a balcony or a veranda for detached houses or apartments, and hangs bedding, laundry, etc.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, balconies for detached houses and condominiums,
When hanging down bedding, laundry, etc. in a narrow space such as a veranda, especially when the bed is heavy, a method of directly hanging the bedding on the handrail is often used. In this case, the futon may fall due to the wind pressure, and
Since the futon draped on the handrail from the outside becomes fully visible,
In the case of an apartment house, it will be very unsightly, and if you want to dry a futon on a veranda in the high-rise part of a high-rise house, you have to get close to the handrail, and you will feel a little fear. It was to solve this problem,
A clothes-drying device having the structure shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 has been proposed. In the clothes-drying device shown in FIG. 8, the arm (4) is vertically rotatable within a certain angle on each of a pair of mounting plates (3) mounted on the columns (2) of the handrail (1) at appropriate intervals. It is attached and a clothes rod (5) is laid between the arms (4). However, this clothes-drying device had only one clothes-drying rod (5), and the length of the clothes-drying device had to be within the width of the balcony or veranda, and the number of futons that could be dried was also limited. Further, when the futon is hung on the device, the futon is folded at the center and lifted up, and the tip end is passed between the clothes rod (5) and the handrail (1) and hung on the clothes rod (5). It must have been a hard work for weak and short women. Further, the clothes-drying device shown in FIG. 9 is composed of a plurality of frame-shaped members (6) rotatably connected at one side thereof, but is simply placed on the floor when in use. Since it is not particularly fixed by itself, it is easy to lose balance when hanging a heavy futon,
It may be overturned by the wind, and it requires a large installation area, which is an obstacle when used on a small balcony or veranda. Furthermore, even if it can be folded during storage, it must be leaned against the handrail, wall, etc., and it may fall from the leaned state due to the wind and so on, leaving it open will be an obstacle. , There was a problem that storage was extremely poor. Further, the problem with the above-mentioned clothes-drying device is that the veranda in the housing complex is used as an emergency evacuation passage as a common part, and the device interferes with passage during evacuation.

[0003]

The present invention was developed in order to solve various problems of the above-mentioned prior art, and it is possible to hang a large number of futons or laundry on a balcony or veranda, It is intended to provide a clothes-drying device that allows a child to hang it in a state in which the clothes are difficult to see from the outside, and further that the device does not interfere with the evacuation passage during evacuation.

[0004]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, a first arm to a fourth arm having the same shape are folded back at a middle portion in the longitudinal direction and are formed in a substantially U shape, and these first arms. To an upper rising portion formed at one end of the fourth arm, a lower rising portion formed at the other end of the first arm to the fourth arm, and an upper rising portion of the first arm to the fourth arm. A first support body that is rotatably supported and that supports the upper rise portions of the second arm and the third arm higher than the upper rise portions of the first arm and the fourth arm, and is provided below the first support body. A rotatably supporting lower rising part of the first to fourth arms and a lower supporting part of the second arm and the third arm higher than a lower rising part of the first arm and the fourth arm. 2 supports and the first
A first arm bent portion bent and formed in the first arm rotation direction near the upper rising portion and the lower rising portion of the arm, and a first arm bending portion near the upper rising portion and the lower rising portion of the second arm. A second arm bent portion that is bent and formed in the arm rotation direction and is positioned so as to overlap the first arm bent portion of the first arm when the first arm rotation direction is turned. Fourth
A fourth arm bent portion bent and formed in the vicinity of the upper rising portion and the lower rising portion of the arm in the second arm rotating direction opposite to the first arm rotating direction, and the upper part of the third arm. When bent in the second arm rotation direction near the rising portion and the lower rising portion and rotated in the second arm rotation direction, the fourth arm is formed.
And a third arm bent portion positioned so as to overlap the fourth arm bent portion of the arm.

[0005]

In the clothes-drying device, for example, when a futon is dried, the futon can be hung on each arm with an appropriate interval provided between the arms. Especially when hanging a heavy futon on the arm,
Since the futon can be hung by inserting the arm from the tip of the arm into the folded part of the futon that is folded in half, even a person with a short height and weak strength can comfortably dry the futon. Moreover, the upper rise of each arm is the first support,
Since the lower rising parts are respectively supported by the second supporting members, each arm does not bend or break even when a heavy object is dried, and the durability of the clothes drying device can be improved. In addition, a first arm bent portion bent and formed in a first arm rotation direction is provided in the vicinity of the upper rising portion and the lower rising portion of the first arm, and the upper rising portion and the lower rising portion of the second arm are formed. The first arm is bent and formed in the vicinity of the upper part in the rotation direction of the first arm, and when the first arm is rotated in the rotation direction, the first arm is rotated.
A second arm bent portion, which is positioned above the first arm bent portion of the arm, is bent in the second arm rotation direction near the upper rising portion and the lower rising portion of the fourth arm. The formed fourth arm bent portion is bent and formed in the second arm rotation direction in the vicinity of the upper rising portion and the lower rising portion of the third arm to rotate in the second arm rotating direction. Then, since the third arm bent portions that are located above the fourth arm bent portions of the fourth arm are formed respectively, the arms can be attached by rotating each arm when the clothes-drying device is not used. The arm becomes extremely close to the member and becomes horizontal, and each arm does not interfere with the balcony, veranda, etc. and does not obstruct the passage during an emergency evacuation.
