Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention is a support that is attached to a mounting base of a wall of a building, a balcony or a verandah handrail, etc., and is used to hang a clothesline or clothesline during use. The present invention relates to a clothes drying device in which an arm protrudes from a mounting base, and when not in use, the support arm can be rotated horizontally and stored in a storage position substantially parallel to the mounting base.

[Conventional technology]

In a clothes drying device in which the support arm is rotated between the use position and the storage position, a stopper is used to fix the support arm in the use position or the storage position.

However, conventional stoppers have a plurality of recessed fitting parts formed on the front and side surfaces of a mounting part such as a bracket attached to the mounting base of a balcony handrail, etc., while the support arm attached to the bracket has a plurality of concave fitting parts. A plurality of locking projections capable of fitting into the recessed fitting portions of the bracket are attached to positions corresponding to the recessed fitting portions of the bracket, and the locking projections of the support arm are fitted and locked into the recessed fitting portions of the bracket. By doing so, the position of the support arm during use and storage was fixed.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, in such a fixing method, when the support arm is used, for example, when the support arm protrudes from the mounting base of a balcony handrail in a substantially perpendicular direction, the support arm rotates in the horizontal direction and is retracted to a position parallel to the mounting base. case,
Lift up the support arm where the bracket and support arm are fitted and locked, remove the locking protrusion of the support arm from the concave fitting part of the bracket, and then remove the support arm while still lifting it upward. Rotate the arm horizontally to either the left or right side, and in the retracted position approximately parallel to the mounting base, the locking protrusion of the support arm is refitted into the concave fitting portion of the bracket to fix the support arm in the retracted position. Therefore, the operation of the support arm was troublesome and troublesome.

Furthermore, it is difficult to align the locking protrusion of the support arm to the concave fitting portion of the bracket.

Furthermore, with such a concave-convex type stopper, it is difficult to fit the support arm vertically against the bracket, and as a result, a rattling noise is generated due to the wind, etc., and there is a risk that the clothes drying device may be damaged. Ta.

In addition, in the case of a clothes drying device that uses a stopper in this way, the stopper that restricts the rotation of the support arm during use and the rod storage device that stores the clothesline when the support arm is in the retracted position are separately provided. Since it has to be provided, the mechanism inevitably becomes complicated, leading to an increase in manufacturing costs.

[Means for solving problems]

Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, this invention includes a mounting part that is attached to the mounting base of a building wall, balcony handrail, etc., and a mounting part that is attached to the mounting part so that it can rotate approximately horizontally when in use. a support arm that protrudes from the mounting base in a substantially perpendicular direction to support a clothesline, etc., and rotates in either the left or right direction and is stored in a storage position substantially parallel to the mounting base when not in use; , a clothes drying device comprising a rod storage device that holds the clothesline when the support arm is retracted, the rod storage device having a rod holder function that stores the rod when the support arm is not in use. A clothes drying device equipped with a locking part that can serve as both a stopper function and a stopper function to restrict the rotation of the support arm during use.

The purpose of this invention is to provide a means to solve the above problems.

[Effect]

In the clothes drying device constructed as described above, first, when in use, the support arm is positioned perpendicularly toward the interior of the balcony with respect to the mounting portion that is attached to the mounting base of the wall of the building, the handrail of the balcony, or the like. The locking portion of the rod storage device is locked to the mounting portion or the support arm to restrict rotation of the support arm, that is, the rod storage device functions as a stopper.

Next, when not in use, the locking part of the rod storage tool is removed from the mounting part or the support arm, the stopper is released, and the support arm is stored parallel to the mounting part.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, the rod storage device is provided with a locking portion that can serve both of the rod holder function for storing the rod when the support arm is not in use and the stopper function for regulating the rotation of the support arm when in use. Therefore, the rod storage tool can be used as a rod holder for storing the rod when the support arm is not needed, and can also be used as a stopper to restrict the rotation of the support arm when the support arm is in use. Therefore, there is no need to separately provide a rod storage mechanism and a stopper mechanism, which simplifies the structure, reduces the number of parts, and reduces assembly and material costs.

In addition, since the horizontal rotation of the support arm is restricted by the stopper function of the rod storage tool, the rotation of the support arm is restricted by the engagement of the uneven parts of the support arm and the mounting part, as in the past. In contrast, there is no need to move the support arm upward each time it rotates.
Since it is now possible to directly rotate the support arm in the horizontal direction, the support arm can be rotated smoothly and the operation of the support arm becomes easier.

In addition, the rotation of the supporting arm was restricted by the engagement of the uneven parts, which was difficult to fit in the uneven parts and caused vertical wobbling, but now the rod storage device's stopper function restricts the rotation of the supporting arm. As a result, the above-mentioned rattling is eliminated, so there is no risk of damage to the clothes drying device, and by using the stopper, the horizontal rotation of the support arm can be reliably regulated. There are advantages such as the ability to firmly maintain the position of the support arm when in use and when not in use.
