Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a foldable clothes dryer suitable for drying relatively small laundry such as towels, diapers or socks on the floor.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the past, innumerable clothes dryers of this kind have been commercially available, and in many cases, a large number of clothes sticks connected by connecting bars are projected outward from a support leg. In addition, in clothes-drying tools, a clothespin-shaped clip is generally hung at the tip of a drying rod so that the clothes are not blown off by the wind.

[0003]

However, in the case of fixing the dried clothes with clips so that the dried clothes are not blown off, a large number of clips must be assembled, which is troublesome to produce, and the cost is high. There is a problem that extra work is required when doing. Therefore, we made a trial to replace the clip with the free end of the drying rod and to provide a rod-shaped dried food press, but it is not easy to give a uniform and strong pressing force over the entire length, and the laundry is partially Since I could only hold it down, when the wind blows, a biased force acts on the laundry, and when the laundry is small, such as a handkerchief, it tends to come off.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and is composed of a main frame and a drying frame rotatably supported by the main frame, and the main frames are parallel to each other. Formed by a supporting leg member having an upwardly U-shape by immovably connecting the two arranged leg portions at one end, and a connecting shaft for rotatably supporting the two supporting leg members on the leg portions, The drying frame is formed by a large number of drying rods arranged in parallel and a horizontal rod connecting the drying rods at their base ends, and the horizontal rods are loosely fitted to the legs of the supporting leg member, and the drying rod is The free end of is folded back to form a presser bar, and the presser bar has a corrugated shape that is alternately bent along the dry bar. Specifically, the corrugated presser bar has a downwardly convex portion in contact with the upper surface of the drying rod, and the contacting portion has a short parallel portion extending along the drying rod.

[0005]

The drying frame is rotatably supported by the main frame, and moves to a position where the drying frame expands to the side and a position where the other end is folded in parallel with the supporting leg. In addition, the drying rod that constitutes the drying frame is a pressing rod whose free end is folded back to the upper side. Further, the presser bar is alternately bent to have a corrugated shape, so that the laundry can be strongly pressed and fixed at several places near the dry bar. Further, the contact portion of the presser bar for pressing the dried item has an increased contact length with the dried item due to the parallel portion.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 is a foldable clothes dryer according to the present invention, which includes a main frame 20 installed on the floor and one left and right clothes frame 30, 3 for supporting the main frame 20 for hanging clothes.
0.

That is, the main frame 20 is composed of two supporting leg members 22 which are connected to each other by a connecting shaft 21, and the supporting leg members 22 are two legs 2 arranged in parallel by bending a steel pipe.
3, 23 and the horizontal portion 24 are formed in an upward U-shape. Two of the supporting leg members 22 are crossed with each other at the leg portions, and are connected by the connecting shaft 21 at the crossing portions so as to be rotatable relative to each other. Reference numeral 25 denotes a cap that covers the upper end portion of the supporting leg member 22, and is fitted to prevent rainwater and the like from entering the steel pipe forming the supporting leg member 22.

The drying frame 30 is used to hang dried items, and is formed by arranging a large number of wire rods 31 made of wire at equal intervals and welding the rods 32 to a horizontal rod 32 at one end thereof. is there. Reference numeral 33 is a locking rod which will be described later, and is close to the horizontal rod 32 and is welded to the drying rod 31 similarly to the horizontal rod 32. Both ends 32a and 32a of the horizontal bar 32 are dry bars 31.
Is provided so as to project laterally from, and the projecting portion is loosely fitted in the hole provided in the leg portion of the support leg member 22. Thus,
The drying frame 30 is rotatably supported by the main frame 20.

The length of the hanging rod 31 is set to be slightly longer than the width of the towel. An engaging portion 34, which is bent slightly upward to engage with the locking rod 33, is formed on the base end side, and the free end side is folded back to the upper side,
It is arranged close to the drying rod 31 and serves as a pressing rod 35.

The presser bar 35 is bent in the vertical direction alternately to form a corrugated shape, and a convex portion on the lower side thereof is lightly abutted on the upper surface of the drying bar 31, and the abutting portion is along the drying bar. A short parallel portion 35a is formed to extend so as to increase the contact length with a dried item. In addition, the inner end of the presser bar 35 is cut off at the place where it jumps upward, and an insertion portion 35b for the dried food A is formed. As a result, when the dried article A is inserted outward from the flipped end and is hung on the dry rod 31, the lower side of the pressing rod 35 is pressed against the dry rod 31 by the convex portion.

Since the above-described embodiment is configured as described above, when the clothesline 10 is used, the leg portion 23 is opened, and the drying frame 30 is pivoted downward with the both end portions 32a as shafts to be expanded. Then, as shown in FIG. 2, the engaging portions 34 formed on the drying rod 31 are the locking rods 33 of the drying frame 30 on the other side.
And is prevented from rotating further. As a result, each of the drying frames 30 is positioned in a substantially horizontal position such that the tip end thereof is slightly elevated. In this state, if the dried article A is hung on the dried article rod 31, the dried article A is dried by the three parallel portions 35a protruding downward of the pressing rod 35 as shown in FIG.
It is pressed and pinched on the upper surface of 1.

[0012]

As described above, according to the present invention, when hanging clothes are hung on the hanging bar 31, there are a plurality of pressing bars 35.
It is pinched by the convex part on the lower side, and it is difficult to come off even if it receives wind. In addition, the structure is simple and the manufacturing and handling are easy as compared with the case where the drying rod 31 is provided with a clip.
