JPH11319387A - Clothespin changing holding force by weight of washing - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable a clothespin to surely hold washing, dry and take in the washing smoothly regardless of the weight even if the spring force is weak. SOLUTION: This clothespin holds washing more tightly as the weight of the washing increases even if the spring force is weak by the frictional force between a clothespin body 1 and a mobile part body 2. Provision of a catch preventive part 5 enables the clothespin to take in easily bending washing such as towel, handkerchief, underwear, etc., smoothly without being caught on the mobile part body 2. The body handle 3 is bent outwardly so that a finger would not get in the way in drying and taking in washing.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0101]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to clothespins whose holding force varies depending on the weight of the laundry.

[0092]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there have been various types and sizes of clothespins, but all of them have a structure in which they are held only by the force of a spring.

[0093]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to develop a method for securely holding laundry regardless of its weight without increasing the force of a spring.

[0093]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Due to the friction between the clothespin main body (1) and the movable section main body (2), the laundry is securely held irrespective of the weight of the laundry. ) To make it easy to bend (towels, handkerchiefs,
Underwear) can be taken in smoothly. When the laundry is thrown or taken in by rolling the main body knob (3) outward, it is a clothespin in which fingers are not in the way.

[0056]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The clearance between the clothespin main body (1) and the movable section main body (2) is widened by clipping the main body knob (3) and the movable section knob (4). When the laundry is inserted into the gap and the body knob (3) and the movable part knob (4) are released, the weight of the laundry is reduced by the frictional force between the clothespin body (1) and the movable part body (2). Regardless, it is surely held.

[0086]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS (a) The body knob (3) below the clothespin body (1) is bent outward. (B) An anti-jamming part (5) is provided on the upper part of the movable part main body.

007

According to the present invention, even if the spring force is weak due to the above structure, the spring can be surely held regardless of the weight of the laundry. And, by the structure of the main body knob (3) and the bite prevention portion (5), the laundry can be smoothly dropped or taken in. In addition, since the operation is performed from below the clothespin, it can be easily used even by a short person (child) or the like.
