Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention is attached to the mounting base of a building wall, balcony or veranda, and when in use, a support arm for hanging a clothesline or clothesline protrudes from the mounting base, and when not in use. Sometimes the support arm is pivotable in a direction perpendicular to the mounting base and can be stored in a position below the mounting base.

Conventionally, in a clothes drying device that is rotated between a use position and a storage position when in use, a mounting part such as a bracket fixed to a mounting base such as a balcony has a horizontal direction. When in use, the support arm, which is rotatably attached, protrudes approximately perpendicularly from the mounting base to support a clothesline, etc. When not in use, it rotates in either the left or right direction and attaches to the mounting base. It is stored in a position approximately parallel to the

However, when the support arms are stored parallel to the mounting base, such as the pillars of a balcony, the support arms can be seen from the outside front through the gaps between the many balustrades installed on the balcony, which is unsightly and spoils the appearance. Ta.

Therefore, in view of the current situation, this invention was developed to
A mounting part is attached to the mounting base of a building wall, a balcony handrail, etc., and the mounting part is rotatably attached to this mounting part in a substantially vertical direction, and when in use, it protrudes from the mounting base in a substantially perpendicular direction to carry a clothesline, etc. In the clothes drying device, the support arm is configured to provide support and is rotatable in a vertical direction and stored at a position below the mounting base when not in use, the support arm being fixed to the mounting portion in a loosely fitted state. The connecting shaft is connected to the mounting portion by a connecting shaft consisting of a shaft and a rotating shaft fixed perpendicular to the supporting shaft, and rotates around the axis of the supporting shaft and also rotates about the rotating shaft. However, by providing a clothes drying device that rotates in a direction perpendicular to the mounting base, the support arm can be rotated in a direction perpendicular to the mounting base and rotated to a position below the mounting base, thereby allowing the drying device to rotate in a vertical direction with respect to the mounting base. The support arm is placed on the back of the handrail post, etc. so that it is not noticeable from the outside front, so that it looks good without spoiling the appearance, and it also ensures that the mounting part and the support part are locked together to maintain the horizontal state during use. It can be rotated vertically by simple operation when not in use.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1, 2, and 3 show a clothes drying device of the present invention, which has a mounting structure such as a bracket attached to a mounting base C such as a support for a balcony handrail. A part A is attached to the mounting part so as to be rotatable in a substantially vertical direction, and when in use, protrudes from the mounting base in a substantially perpendicular direction to support a laundry pole, etc., and when not in use, rotates in the vertical direction to mount the mounting part. Support arm B stored in the lower position of the base
It is composed of.

To explain in more detail the structure of the clothes drying device having the above configuration, the bracket A attached to the main pillar C of the handrail, which is the mounting base, has a substantially semicircular column shape as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. A circular horizontal hole 2 is bored in the upper part of the front face 3, and a stopper groove 4 is formed in the vertical direction in the lower part of the front face 3.

The support arm B connected to the bracket A is formed into a substantially triangular shape by the rear end side wall 10, the upper chord part 11, and the lower chord part 12 so as to be able to withstand the weight of the pillow etc. 11 and lower chord 1
2 is connected in a truss-like manner by a vertical web 13 to provide an opening 14, and a concave rod receiving portion 15 is formed in the upper chord portion 11.
Further, the upper end surface of the rear end side wall 10 forms a concave arc surface 16, and as will be described later, when the support arm B is reversed and then rotated vertically downward as shown in FIG. 3, it collides with the front surface 3 of the bracket and rotates. This is to prevent it from becoming a hindrance to movement. Further, a rotation shaft hole 17 is bored in the upper end of this rear end side wall 10, and a stopper 18 is integrally formed in the vertical direction approximately at the center of the lower part of the rear end surface, and a stopper 18 is formed integrally with the stopper groove 4 of the bracket A.
It is designed to fit.

The support arm B having such a structure is attached to the bracket A.
To install it, connect the support arm B to the bracket A using a connecting shaft 20 as shown in Figure 5.
This connecting shaft 20 has a support shaft 21 with a circular cross section that is loosely fitted into the circular horizontal hole 2 of the bracket A.
On one end surface of this support shaft 21, opposing side pieces 23 are formed by bending both ends of a joint piece 22 that is integrally joined to this end surface.
A small hole 24 is bored in each of a and 23b, and a rotation shaft 25 is provided in this small hole 24 orthogonal to the support shaft 21.
Both side pieces 23 of the connecting shaft 20 having such a structure
Insert the rear end side wall 10 of the support arm B between a and 23b as shown in FIG. Insert the rotating shaft 25 into the both side pieces 23a, 23 as shown in FIG.
When fixed at position b, the support arm B is attached to the connecting shaft 20 and is rotatable in the vertical direction about the rotation shaft 25. When the support shaft 21 perpendicular to the rotation shaft 25 is fitted into the circular horizontal hole 2 formed in the bracket A, the support shaft 21 is loosely fitted into the horizontal hole 2, resulting in It will be installed in bracket A with a loose fit.
This support shaft 21 can rotate around its axis within the circular horizontal hole 2. 26 is a locking piece that prevents the support shaft 21 from coming out of the circular horizontal hole 2.

Next, to explain the operation of the clothes drying device with the above configuration, first, when in use, it is supported toward the inside of the balcony in a direction perpendicular to the mounting base C, as shown by the solid line in Figures 1 and 2. Position arm B, rod 1
Hang the laundry to dry. In this case, the stopper 18 below the rear end surface of the rear end side wall 10 of the support arm B fits into the stopper groove 4 of the bracket A, and as a result, the front surface 3 of the bracket and the rear end surface of the support arm B come into contact and are supported. This prevents arm B from rotating downward in the vertical direction.

When not in use, as shown by the dotted line in Figure 2, first lift the stopper 18 upwards to remove it from the bracket A, and then rotate the support arm B.
Connecting shaft 2 connecting support arm B to bracket A
The support shaft 21 of the bracket A can rotate around the axis within the circular horizontal hole 2 of the bracket A, and the rotation of the support shaft 21 brings the front surface 3 of the bracket into contact with the rear end surface of the support arm B. The state shifts and the support arm B becomes vertically vertically downwardly rotatable, and the support arm B is rotated about the support shaft 21 so that the lower chord part 12 of the support arm B is positioned upward, as shown in FIG. If you flip it so that
A concave arc surface 16 formed on the upper end surface of the rear side wall 10 of the support arm B further prevents the support arm B from coming into contact with the front surface 3 of the bracket. Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the inverted support arm B is moved approximately vertically downward about the rotation axis 25 from the position indicated by the dotted line when in use to the position indicated by the solid line when not in use.
It can be rotated 180 degrees and stored below the mounting base C.

In FIGS. 6 and 7, the bracket A is made into a plate shape to reduce the protruding portion and save material costs.

Figures 8, 9, and 10 show that the support arm B of the previous model is reversed so that it rotates in the vertical direction, whereas the support arm B is moved from the usage state shown in Figures 8 and 9. As shown in Fig. 10, the support arm B is rotated approximately 90 degrees to position it laterally, and then rotated vertically downward about the rotation shaft 25 to be stored below the mounting base C. , there are fewer protrusions than those that are stored vertically, so they do not get in the way. 5
is a rod storage device attached to the bracket, which also serves as a stopper to prevent the support arm from swinging horizontally during use.

11, 12, and 13 show the clothes drying device shown in FIG. 8 with the rod storage device 5 attached below the bracket A. When the support arm B is rotated vertically downward and stored as shown in the figure, the support arm B covers the front surface of the rod storage device 5, so that the rod 5 can be prevented from detaching from the rod storage device.

14 and 15, the rear end side wall 10 of the support arm is bent toward the bracket A side to form a bent portion 19,
As shown in FIG. 15, when the support arm B is stored vertically downward, this bent portion 19 can be used as a rod storage tool 5.

As described above, according to the present invention, when the laundry pole, etc. is not in use, the support arm is rotated vertically and stored below the mounting base, so the support arm is located at the back of the balcony support, etc. The support arms are not noticeable from the front and look good without spoiling the aesthetics.

In addition, the support arm is rotated by rotating the support shaft, the support arm is reversed or rotated 90 degrees, and then the support arm is rotated in the vertical direction about the rotation shaft and stored, so that the attachment part and the support arm are not connected to each other. There is no need to release the state and store it.
Therefore, the support arm can be quickly retracted.

Further, when in use, the rear end surface of the support arm is in contact with the front surface of the attachment part, so that it can reliably maintain the use position and support a large load.
