Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to a stand for a clothes dryer that is easy to assemble.

Referring to the drawings below, reference numeral 1 denotes the proposed stand, which has a pair of U-shaped side frames 3, 3 with supporting legs 2, 2 at the lower ends.
, an X-shaped reinforcing member 4 and a horizontal crosspiece 5 that connect the frames on both sides,
It consists of a top plate 6 connected between the upper ends of both side frames.

The X-shaped reinforcing member 4 is constructed by crossing two diagonal members 7, 7 and pivotally supporting the crossing portion with a pin 8, and the lower end side of each diagonal member is long hole 9,
9 is drilled.

This X-shaped reinforcing member 4 has the upper end of the diagonal member 7.7 pivoted to the vertical member 10.10 of each side frame by a screw 11.11, and also has a screw 12 in the elongated hole 9, 9. .1
2 into the longitudinal member 10.
It is screwed into 10.

Therefore, the X-shaped reinforcing member 4 can be expanded and contracted laterally,
If the screws 12 and 12 are loosened, the distance between the pair of side frames 3, 3 can be changed freely, so when packing, the distance between the pair of side frames 3, 3 should be shortened to the extent that they are in contact with each other. If so, the whole package can be packed into a smaller size.

On the other hand, when the customer assembles, after widening the distance between the two side frames 3, 3, tightening and fixing the screws 12 and 12, and installing a horizontal beam 5 between near the lower ends of both side frames, The stand 1 is assembled by placing the top plate 6 between the upper end horizontal members 13 and 13 of the side frame 3°3 and fixing it with screws.

Reference numeral 14 indicates a clothes dryer placed on the top plate 6.

3 and 4 show different embodiments of the elongated hole 9 bored at the lower end of the diagonal member 7. As shown in FIG. 4, the lower end of the elongated hole 9 is shaped like a lock. If you bend it, the side frames 3, 3
When the distance between them is widened all at once, the screw 12 engages with this lock-shaped bent portion and is temporarily fixed, so that the work of tightening the screw 12 becomes easier and the stand is easier to assemble.

In the proposed stand, the positions of the elongated holes 9, 9 and the length of the horizontal bar 5 are determined so that the distance between the side frames 3, 3 matches the size of the single-tank fully automatic washing machine 15, but the width The lower horizontal bar 16 of the side frame is installed so that it can be used even with large two-tub washing machines.
．． 16 is made lower than the bottom position of a two-tub washing machine main body 18 supported by rollers 17, 17.

As a result, even if the width of the two-tub washing machine 18 is large, this washing machine can be installed across the lower horizontal beams 16 and 16 of the side frame as shown in FIG. You can also use the stand on merits.

As described above, in this case, the telescopic X-shaped reinforcing member 4 connects the two side frames 3, so the distance between the two side frames can be shortened and the packaging can be made smaller.
Since a certain shape can be created by simply widening the distance between the side frames and tightening the screws 12 and 12, subsequent installation of the horizontal beams 5 and top plate 6 becomes easy, instead of having to separate each part as in the past. Compared to other products, it is easy for anyone to assemble and has great practical value.
