2. Description of the Related Art Generally, as this type of clothesline, for example, as shown in FIG. 1, a leg 1 having two X-shaped rods 11 which are cross-axially attached in an X shape and which can be opened and closed within a predetermined range. A pair of right and left sides are provided facing each other, and a horizontal crosspiece 2 for hanging clothes is installed via a joint 6 between the upper end portions of the leg rods of the leg bodies 1 facing each other. It is known that a plate-shaped hanging portion 23 is provided.

If the hanging portion 23 of the horizontal crossbar 2 for clothesline is formed to be substantially vertical when the leg 1 is opened,
It is easy to hang clothes hangers and it is also easy to hang clothes on the horizontal crossbar 2 for clothes. For this reason, conventionally, regarding the connection between the laundry cross rail 2 and the joint 6, as shown in FIG. 7, for example, the end portion of the hanging portion 23 integrated with the clothes cross rail 2 is cut out, and the cross rail 2 is cut.
It is known that the end portion is inserted into the horizontal tubular portion 61 of the L-shaped universal joint 6 so that the suspension portion 23 faces the predetermined direction.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8, for example, two types of left and right joints 6 in which a hanging portion insertion portion 62 is provided in a predetermined direction in a horizontal tubular portion 61 of an L-shaped general-purpose joint 6 are prepared, and the joint 6 is used. It is known that the entire end portion of the horizontal rail 2 including the hanging portion 23 is properly inserted into the joint 6 so that the hanging portion 23 faces a predetermined direction.

[0005]

However, in the case of the former of FIG. 7, only one type of joint is required, but on the other hand, the end of the hanging part of the horizontal crosspiece for clothesline must be cut out, which is troublesome in processing. There is a problem of high cost. In addition, there is a problem in that the clothes cross rail easily rotates in the joint, and it is difficult to hold the hanging portion in a vertical state when the leg is opened. In the case of the latter of FIG. 8, two kinds of joints for left and right are prepared and used properly depending on the position of use, which is troublesome to assemble and
There is a problem that the manufacturing cost of the joint is high and it takes time to store and manage the joint during mass production.

An object of the present invention is to provide a clothes-drying device which solves the above-mentioned conventional problems.

[0007]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention uses one type of joint between the clothes-running cross rail and the leg rod, and the hanging portion is held substantially vertically when the leg is opened. The joint is devised like this. That is, in the clothes dryer of the present invention, a pair of left and right legs, each of which has two leg rods cross-axially attached to each other in an X shape and can be opened and closed within a predetermined range, are provided facing each other. Of the clothes rail is installed at least between the upper ends of the leg rods via a joint, and whether the clothes rail has a horizontally long plate-shaped suspension part with a hanger hook through a support part protruding from the bottom of the horizontal bar body. Alternatively, the joint is directly provided on the lower portion of the horizontal rail main body, and the joint includes a vertical rod portion for inserting a rod and a horizontal tubular portion for inserting the horizontal rail, and the horizontal tubular portion is located below the horizontal rail main body insertion portion. Or, an accessory insert part for inserting the entire suspension part is provided side by side through a pair of partitions, and one accessory insert part is selectively used depending on the position where the joint is used, and the suspension part is held almost vertically when the leg is opened. It has been done.

[0008]

[Operation] One of the accessory insertion parts is selectively used depending on the position of use of the joint, so that only one type of joint can be used between the hanging crosspiece having the hanging portion and the leg rod. Since the accessory inserts are arranged side by side through the pair of partitions in the joint, the horizontal rail does not rotate inside the joint, and when the leg is opened, the suspension is held so that it is oriented in a substantially vertical predetermined direction. To be done.
