DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a clothesline that can be dried without forcibly pulling the laundry or hanging off both ends of the laundry.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a clothes-drying device for ordinary households, a pair of pinches and a suspension for horizontally setting each frame on a plurality of frames arranged in parallel. Those with hooks are widely used.

As shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, the pair of pinches 31 are often attached to a frame 32 so as to be swingable. Can not. For this reason, when the laundry is dried between a pair of pinches, as shown in the figure, a small item such as a handkerchief is forcibly pulled and the fabric stretches and stretches, and a width like a bath towel If it is wide, there is a problem that both end portions hang down and become wrinkled, and the hanging down portions overlap and are difficult to dry.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a clothesline in which the width of the pinch can be adjusted according to the width of the laundry.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, according to the present invention, a plurality of frame bones arranged in parallel,
In a clothes-drying device including a hanging hook for setting the frame bone in a horizontal state and at least a pair of pinches attached to each frame bone, at least one of the pair of pinches is slidably provided with respect to the frame bone. I decided that.

[0006] In such a clothesline, at least one of the pinches can be moved closer to or farther from the other pinch, so that the mounting position of the pinch with respect to the frame bone can be changed.

Further, a pinch provided slidably with respect to the frame bone can be locked at a predetermined position with respect to the frame bone by stopper means provided at a mounting portion between the pinch and the frame bone. Since the pinch can be fixed at any position on the frame bone, the pinch does not move even when the wind blows during use.

[0008]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A clothesline shown in FIG. 1 has a plurality of frame bones 1, a hanging hook 2 for horizontally setting the frame bones 1, and a pair of pinches attached to each frame bone 1. 3,
3

The respective frame bones 1 are arranged at appropriate intervals so as to be parallel to each other. Both ends of each frame 1 are connected to each other, and as a whole, the connecting portion side forms a rectangular frame body longer than each frame 1. This frame is provided with two hinges 4 and 4 which can be folded in half from the middle. Four chains 5 are attached to the periphery of the frame, and are connected to each other above the frame via the hanging hooks 2.

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, a slide groove 6 extending in the length direction is formed in each frame bone 1, and a slide member 7 is attached to the slide groove 6. ing.

The slide groove 6 has a rack-shaped engaging step 8
And a long hole 9 in the longitudinal direction. The slide member 7
A substrate section 11 having a knob 10 on the upper surface;
The vertical wall 12 hangs from a lower surface of the vertical wall 1, locking claws 13 projecting laterally from both side surfaces of the vertical wall 12, and a pinch mounting ring portion 14 which is continuous with a lower end of the vertical wall 12. A projection 15 projecting downward is provided on the substrate portion 11.
The pinch 3 is attached to the ring portion 14 via a steel chain 16.

The slide member 7 has a vertical wall 12 fitted in the elongated hole 9 of the slide groove 6 as shown in FIG.
Are caught on the lower edge of the slide groove 6 so as not to get out of the slide groove 6. The protrusion 15
Is engaged with the engaging step 8 of the slide groove 6 from above, thereby preventing the movement of the slide member 7 in the slide groove 6 so that the stopper means of the pinch 3 with respect to the frame 1 together with the engaging step 8 Is composed.

When the user operates the knob 10 of the slide member 7 to apply a certain force or more, the elasticity of the resin causes the board portion 11 of the fixture to be bent, and
The slide member 7 can move in the length direction of the slide member 7 inside the slide groove 6 by successively climbing over the engagement step portion 8. Accordingly, the pair of pinches 3, 3 can be moved closer to or away from the other pinch, respectively, so that the mounting position can be changed, and the mounting width of each pinch 3, 3 according to the width of the laundry. Can be adjusted.

When the laundry is hung on the pinch 3,
The load is applied to the slide member 7, and the projection 15 and the engagement step 8 are more strongly engaged with each other, so that the resistance between the slide groove 6 and the slide member 7 is increased. As a result, the slide member 7 does not easily move in the slide groove 6, so that the pinch 3 whose mounting width has been adjusted can be locked at a predetermined position of the frame bone 1.

As shown in FIG. 5, the slide groove 6 is provided from one end to the other end of the frame bone 1, and one of the pair of pinches 3a, 3b is fixed to the frame bone 1. Alternatively, only the other pinch 3b may be slidable.

Further, the pinch stopper means for the frame bone may be constructed as shown in FIG. 6 or FIG.

The frame 17 shown in FIG. 6 has a circular cross section, and its outer peripheral surface has nodal projections 1 at predetermined intervals.
8 are provided. A cylindrical slide member 20 having a knob 19 at its upper end is fitted into the frame bone 17.
It is formed to a length that fits exactly between the eight.

[0018] Such a clothesline includes a sliding member 20.
When the knob 19 is operated, the slide member 20 successively climbs over the projections 18 and moves on the frame 17 in the same manner as in the previous embodiment, and moves the slide member 20 to any of the projections 18, 18.
Can be locked in between.

A clip 22 slidable on the frame bone 21 having a circular cross section is mounted as a stopper means on the mounting portion between the pinch 3 and the frame bone 21 shown in FIG. In this embodiment, the mounting position of the pinch can be adjusted by pushing and expanding the clip 22 and sliding it, and fixing the frame bone 21 at an arbitrary position.

[0020]

As described above, in the clothes drying apparatus according to the present invention, at least one of the pair of pinches provided on the frame bone is provided so as to be slidable with respect to the frame bone, so that one pinch can be connected to the other. Can be moved closer to or farther away from the pinch. For this reason, the attachment position can be changed, and the attachment width of each pinch can be adjusted according to the width of the laundry, so that the laundry can be forcibly pulled or dried with a slack. Absent.

[0021] Further, by providing stopper means at the mounting portion between the pinch and the frame bone, the pinch adjusted for mounting can be fixed at a predetermined position on the frame bone.
During use, the width of the pinch does not change even if the wind blows.
