Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a clothes dryer provided with a large number of dryers, and more particularly to a clothes dryer capable of quickly and compactly storing the clothes dryer when not in use.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, as a clothes dryer of this type, as described in, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 55-37280, a plurality of drying rods are erected on the periphery of a base having a hook shaft standing upright in the center thereof. 2. Description of the Related Art There is a clothes dryer which is pivotally attached to a posture and a posture in which the subject lies radially. In this clothes dryer, when not in use, the drought is erected upright and stored, and when in use, the dried object is hung to be dried in a horizontal state.

[0003]

However, in the conventional clothes dryer as described above, when it is desired to lay down the droop from the upper position to the horizontal position and bring it into the use state, Since it is necessary to lie down, it is troublesome,
It is inconvenient to handle, and its improvement has been desired. In addition, if the dried object cannot be hung up and stored while it is suspended, if there is a sudden rainfall when using outdoors and there is no room to remove the dried object,
It was necessary to transport the drought while lying down, which was very troublesome to carry. Also when using
Since the drought is laid flat on the same plane, the overlapped area of the dried objects suspended in the drought is large, and therefore the ventilation and sunlight of each individual dried object are poor, and the dried objects are efficiently dried. The thing could not be dried.

Therefore, the present invention solves the above-mentioned problems and enables the drought to be quickly put into use, and the drought can be stored even when the dried article is suspended, and the individual dried articles can be stored. On the other hand, it is an object of the present invention to provide a clothes dryer capable of efficiently drying the material to be dried by improving ventilation and sunshine.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has the following constitution. That is, in the clothes dryer according to the present invention, a plurality of slats that can be rotated in the horizontal direction are vertically attached to a support shaft in a row.
Adjacent upper and lower droughts are such that the upper one is rotatable relative to the lower one in the left and right directions within a certain angle range from the overlapping state, and the upper and lower ones are superposed from the closed state to the uppermost position. The feature is that when the drought is rotated in either left or right direction, all the droughts are interlocked with the bottom drought as the base end and are deployed in a spiral or fan shape at a certain angle. It is what

In the above description, the means for allowing the upper rod to rotate relative to the lower rod in a constant angle range in the left and right directions from the overlapped state is not particularly limited, but it is adjacent to the upper and lower rods. In each connecting portion of the drought, the engaging protrusion is formed on one of the rods, and the engaging recess is formed on the other rod so that the engaging protrusion is loosely fitted, and the engaging recess is formed in the engaging recess. A pair of engaging surfaces that face each other are provided so that the engaging surfaces of the engaging protrusions are the same when the upper bar is rotated in the left or right direction from the overlapping state with respect to the lower bar. If it is brought into contact with either one of the locking surfaces of and is prevented from rotating beyond a certain angle,
It is preferable because it has a simple structure, can be operated reliably, and has few failures.

[0007]

According to the clothes dryer of the present invention, when not in use, the drying rods arranged vertically are superposed in a line to form a closed state so that the drying rod can be compactly stored. In addition, at this time, even if the object to be dried is hung on the drought, the drought can be brought close to make it compact,
Therefore, it is easy to carry the material to be dried while it is suspended. In addition, when using, by rotating the uppermost drought from the closed state that has been superposed, all the droughts are linked at a constant angle with the lowermost drought as the base end, if there are many droughts. Since it expands in a spiral shape, or at least in a fan shape, the drought can be quickly put into use and is easy to use.
Furthermore, the drought can be deployed in either the left or right direction by rotating the uppermost drone in the right or left direction, so it can be deployed right or left depending on the location where it is installed. can do. Furthermore, compared to a drone mounted on the same plane, even if the dried object is hung on the drought, there is less overlap of the dried object, and the individual dried objects are better ventilated and have better sunlight, resulting in improved efficiency. The material to be dried can be dried.
