Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] When in use, a support arm for hanging a clothesline or the like protrudes from the mounting base, and when not in use, this support arm is stored in a storage position approximately parallel to the mounting base. The present invention relates to a clothes drying device that can move the support arm smoothly between a use position and a storage position.

Conventionally, in a clothes drying device in which the support arm is rotated between the use position and the storage position, the single movement of the support arm is not smooth, and therefore the attachment is difficult when the support arm is rotated. There were problems such as the fixing tool fixed to the base and the support arm/''' damaging the fixing tool.

The present invention has been made to solve these problems, and provides a clothes drying device in which the support arm can rotate smoothly by providing a center of rotation for the support arm. With the goal.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is an external view showing a clothes drying device according to the present invention;
In the figure, 1 is the mounting base for building walls, balconies, balcony handrails, etc., 2 is a support arm formed by applying surface treatment such as alumite treatment or baking paint to the surface of cast aluminum, etc., and 3 is the support arm 2. Each of the clothesline pipes shown in FIG.
is supported on the mounting base 1 in a state where its horizontal movement is prevented by meshing with the four engaging portions 6 of the fixture 5.

The support arm 2 is formed so as to be fixed in its retracted position by engaging the retaining piece 4 with an engagement recess 6' opening parallel to the mounting base 1 of the fixture 5. .

The fixture 5 is made of aluminum casting or the like, and its surface is subjected to appropriate surface treatment such as alumite treatment or baking coating, and as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the main body is A fitting hole 8 through which a rotor 7, which will be described later, is inserted is formed in the flange 5a, and a bolt insertion hole 9 for fixing to the mounting base 1 (not shown) is formed in the flange 5b.

The rotor 7 is inserted into the fitting hole 8 of the fixture 5 to smooth horizontal rotation of the support arm 2, and can be made of an appropriate material. In order to prevent electrolytic corrosion due to metal contact with the metal contact 5 and to make rotation operation smooth, it is desirable to use an engineering plastic having self-lubricating properties such as polyacetal or nylon. This rotor I has a large diameter portion 7a
and a small diameter portion 1b, a fitting recess 10 is formed in the large diameter portion 7a, and the bottom of the fitting recess 10 is connected to the small diameter portion 7.
t) K - communicates with the through hole 11;
1, a rod storage tool 12 for holding a clothesline 3f stored when the support arm 2 is stored by bending the lower end into an abbreviated shape is attached to the bin 13 so as to prevent it from coming out. Ru.

A fixing tongue piece 13 protruding from the base end of the support arm 2 is housed in the fitting recess 10 of the rotor 1, and can be rotated vertically by a shaft 14 of a spring bin or knurled bin, etc. It is pivoted.

At this time, the fixing tongue piece 13 has a curvature surface 13! L is formed, and the curvature surface 13 is formed at the bottom of the fitting recess 10.
A concave curved surface 10a with chalk is formed, which is approximately the same as a, and the fixing tongue piece 13 fits into the fitting recess 10 when the support arm 2 is rotated in the vertical direction.
However, either the hole 15 of the rotor 1 or the hole 16 of the fixing tongue 13 is made to have a slightly larger diameter than the diameter of the shaft 14, so that the curved surface 13a and the concave curved surface 10a are By bringing them into contact, the load on the shaft 14 can be reduced.

In addition, in FIG. 3, reference numeral 11 indicates a washer for preventing the rotor I from jumping out from the fixture 5.
3 is attached to the rod storage tool 12.

FIG. 4 is a sectional view showing another embodiment of the present invention. In the embodiment shown in FIG.
However, in this embodiment, a locking pawl 19 is provided with elasticity by forming an appropriate number of slits 18 in the lower part of the rotor 7. The rod storage tool 12 is also prevented from being removed by engaging the locking pawl 19 with a locking seat surface 20 formed at the lower end of the fixture 5. 21t - It is attached by resiliently engaging with the engagement protrusion 22 of the rotor T. In this way, the elasticity of the rotor 1 can be used to attach the rotor 1 to the fixture 5, or the rod storage fixture 1.
By configuring the rotor 2 to be attached to the rotor 1, workability can be improved.

Next, a method of using the clothes drying device according to the present invention will be explained. To move the support arm 2 from the usage state shown in FIG. 1 to the storage position, first remove the clothes rod 3 and then rotate the support arm 2 in the direction of the arrow. By doing this,
The engagement between the retaining piece 4 of the support arm 2 and the engagement recess 6 of the fixture 5 is released, and the support arm 2 is rotated in the horizontal direction, that is, in the first
In the figure, it can be rotated in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the paper. In this state, after rotating the support arm 2t in the horizontal direction, the support arm 2 is lowered at tJl in the direction of arrow B in FIG.
The support arm 2 is fixed in the retracted position by engaging with the locking recess 6' of the fixing A5. Next, by passing the removed clothesline 3 to the rod storage tool 12, the support arm 2 and the clothesline 3 are stored without taking up much space.

When the clothesline 3 is to be used again, the support arm 2 can be rotated to the use position in the same manner as described above.

Since the present invention is configured as described above, when the support arm is rotated vertically and then horizontally, the rotor serves as the rotation axis and accurately draws a circular orbit, so that the rotation The operation is smooth, and since the support arm and the fixture do not collide with each other during rotation of the support arm, the appearance can be kept beautiful for a long time.
