Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an improvement to a clothesline, particularly a clothesline that is used by being attached to an indoor wall.

<Prior Art> Conventionally, various proposals have been made regarding clotheslines that are installed and used indoors, on balconies, and the like.

For example, Jitko No. 44-9145, Jitko No. 48-26897
No. 55-126283 proposes a clothesline in which a rotating section is provided on the support and a clothesline pole is attached to the rotating section. Further, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 61-68096, a clothesline is provided in which a clothesline is attached to a rotating part so as to be rotatable along a vertical plane, and the clothesline can be folded and stored. Proposed.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> However, when a support is used by being attached between an upper beam and a lower beam protruding from an indoor wall surface, the following problems occur.

That is, in the interior of a typical household, the width of the beam protruding from the wall is usually less than 2 cm, and in most cases is smaller than the diameter of a clothesline. Therefore, it is difficult to freely rotate the clothesline, and the angle at which it can be rotated has to be reduced. In particular, when the clothesline is not in use and you try to place it against a wall, the diameter of the base end of the clothesline is large, and the base end hits the wall, causing the problem that the clothesline cannot be parallel to the wall. exist.

<Means for Solving the Problems> Therefore, the present invention provides a clothesline consisting of a column attached along an indoor wall and a clothesline rotatably attached to the column. It is attached between the protruding upper beam and the lower beam, and this support is equipped with a rotating part that can freely rotate along a substantially horizontal plane, and the base end of the clothesline is placed away from the wall surface. A movable part that moves along a substantially horizontal plane is provided in the rotating part, and the base end of the clothesline is attached to the rotating part via this movable part, so that the clothesline can be rotated to align with the wall surface. By moving the base end of the clothesline away from the wall when
The above-mentioned problems are solved by providing a clothesline for mounting on an indoor wall, which is characterized in that the clothesline can be placed substantially parallel to the wall.

<Function> In the present invention, a rotating part that can freely rotate along a substantially horizontal plane is provided on the support, and a movable part that moves the base end of the clothesline along the substantially horizontal plane to a position away from the wall surface is provided as described above. It is provided in the rotating part, and the base end of the clothes rod is attached to the rotating part via this movable part.
As a result, when the clothesline is rotated so as to be attached to the wall, the base end of the clothesline can be moved to a position away from the wall. Thereby, even if the diameter of the clothesline is larger than the protruding width of the beam, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the base end of the clothesline collides with the wall and does not rotate any further. As a result, the clothesline is placed approximately parallel to the wall surface.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the figures.

FIGS. 1 to 3 show a first embodiment, and this clothesline has a support 11 attached along a wall 1 and a clothesline pole 12 attached to this support 11.

The strut 11 has a hollow cylindrical strut tube 10 with a female thread formed on the upper inner periphery, and a length adjustment part 13 inserted into the upper part of the strut tube 10. A male thread is formed on the outer periphery of the length adjustment part 13, and the strut pipe 10
The length of the support column 11 is adjusted by screwing it into the female thread. A nut 14 is fixed near the upper end of this length adjustment section 13, and the length adjustment section 13 can be rotated using this nut 14.
Although the lengths of the strut pipe 10 and the length adjustment section 13 are arbitrary, the adjustable width can be increased by increasing the lengths of both.

An upper pressing portion 15 is provided at the upper end of the length adjusting portion 13 to press the upper beam 3 protruding between the ceiling 2 and the wall surface 1, and a cylindrical synthetic resin cover 16 is provided.
is fitted into the upper pressing part 15. This cover 16 is for hiding the length adjustment part 13, and its lower end is passed through the upper outer periphery of the support tube 10.

A pivot shaft 18 is inserted and fixed at the lower end of the support pipe 10, and a lower pressing part 1 corresponding to the lower beam 4 is attached to the lower end of the pivot shaft 18.
9 can be provided. This lower pressing part 19
It is provided with a pressing surface 20 having a width approximately half of the width of 0, and a guide surface 21 that descends from the pressing surface 20 at right angles, and is attached with both surfaces aligned with the corners of the lower beam 4. As a result, if the width of the lower beam 4 protruding from the wall surface is at least half the diameter of the support tube 10, this clothesline can be attached. Thus, this support can be easily attached to the wall surface 1 by extending the length adjusting part 13 and pressing the upper and lower pressing parts 15 and 19 against the upper and lower beams 3 and 4. Note that the upper and lower pressing parts 15 and 19 do not need to be separate from the length adjusting part 13 and the pivot shaft 18, and the end surfaces of both 13 and 18 may be used as the upper and lower pressing parts.

A rotating tube 24 is inserted between the upper and lower rings 22 and 23 of the pivot shaft 18 to form a rotating portion. The upper ring 22 is fixed to the lower end of the strut tube 10, while the lower ring 23 is rotatably passed through the pivot shaft 18.

A first U-shaped member 25 is provided on the rotation tube 24, and a second U-shaped member 27 is provided on the proximal end portion 26 of the rod 12. This U-shaped member 2
The horizontal portions of 5 and 27 are mated together, and a pivot pin 28 passes through the horizontal portions of both 25 and 27. Since this pivot pin 28 is fixed only to the second U-shaped member 27, both U-shaped members 25, 27
rotates around the pivot pin 28 (second rotating portion).

The rod 12 to which the second U-shaped member 27 is attached is extendable and retractable. In this embodiment, a plurality of small rods 29 of decreasing thickness are sequentially and slidably inserted into the thickest small rod. Then, a foot 30 is provided at the tip of the small rod with the smallest diameter (that is, a small rod that protrudes from the tip most), and by extending the rod 12 and placing the foot 30 on the opposing lower beam 5 in the room, it is possible to You can pass the rod to the wall 6. Since the rod 12 is rotatable with respect to the support column 11, the rod can be moved to an appropriate position in the room. Also, the length of one small rod 29 is 1 m.
If you set the length to about 2m, you can dry a small amount of laundry even without extending the pole.

When the rod 12 is not in use, the rod 12 is retracted and placed along the indoor wall surface 1 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. At this time, the pillar 11
In consideration of attachment to the beams 3 and 4, it is desirable that the diameter of the rod is small, and on the other hand, the rod 12 needs to have an appropriate thickness. As a result, the rod 12 becomes thicker than the support 11, and if the rod 12 is simply pivoted to the support 11, the end of the rod 12 will hit the wall 1 when the rod 12 is placed against the wall. It cannot be attached to wall surface 1. Therefore,
It is also possible to shift the rod 12 to the left or right and pivot it to the support 11, but in that case, it is only possible to rotate the rod 12 to the left or right.

Therefore, in this embodiment, as described above, the support is provided with a rotating part, the second rotating part is attached to this rotating part, and the second rotating part is attached to the rod.
Even if the rotation angle a of the rotation part is about 160 degrees, the second
By further rotating the rotating portion about 20 degrees to the left and right of the residual angle b, the rod 12 can be substantially rotated about 180 degrees about the support 11. In other words, as the second rotating portion rotates along the horizontal plane, the base end of the rod 12 moves in a direction away from the wall surface 1 (downward in FIG. 3), and thereby,
It is possible to prevent the base end of the rod 12 from colliding with the wall surface 1. As a result, the rod 12 can be rotated in either left or right direction so that it is parallel to the wall surface 1, the foot 30 at the tip of the rod 12 can be placed on the beam 4, and the entire rod 12 can be placed on the beam 4. The rod 12 can be stored on the beam 4 while being placed on it. A pin 31 is erected on the first U-shaped member 25, and stoppers 32, 32 are formed protruding from the upper ring 22, and the engagement between the two prevents the rotation tube 24 from rotating too much. It is considered. Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, a blind plate 3 is provided on the rotation tube 24.
3, 33 are provided, and are designed to hide the U-shaped members 25, 27, etc. Note that this blind plate 33 is omitted in FIG. 2.

Next, another example of the pivoting portion of the clothesline in the first example will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6.

In this embodiment, a slide support member 41 is fixed to the rotation tube 24, and a slide portion 42 having a substantially C-shape in side view is attached to the slide support member 41 so as to be slidable in the lateral direction. This slide portion 42 has an appropriate length as shown in FIG.
Racks 43, 44 are provided in its longitudinal direction. The racks 43 and 44 are provided above and below the slide portion 42, and the corresponding upper and lower gears 4
5 and 46 are fixed to the pivot shaft 18, respectively.
The rod 12 is directly attached to the slide portion 42.

Thus, when it is desired to rotate the rod 12, the rotation tube 24 having the slide support portion 41 rotates about the pivot shaft 18 via the slide portion 42. At the same time, the racks 43 and 44 are sent by the gears 45 and 46, and the slide part 42 slides relative to the slide support part 41, so that one end of the slide part 42 is moved as shown in FIG. Slide support part 41
has moved. That is, by sliding the slide portion 42 along the horizontal plane, the base end of the rod 12 moves in a direction away from the wall surface 1 (upward in FIG. 6). Therefore, even if the diameter of the rod 12 is large, the rod 12 can be placed along the wall surface and the foot 30 can be placed on the beam for storage.

Note that if the gears 45, 46 and the racks 43, 44 are not provided, the slide portion 42 cannot be slid automatically, but it is possible for the user to rotate the rod and slide the slide portion 42. By doing so, the rod 12 can be attached to the wall surface in the same way.

As mentioned above, the clothesline of the present invention is used by supporting the pillars on the upper and lower beams protruding from the wall surface.
If there is no beam, a fixture shown in FIG. 7 can also be used. This fixture is a U-shaped member 51 that can be slid up and down, and the lower surface of the upper part 52 receives the upper end of the length adjusting member 13, and the lower part 53 receives the lower end of the pivot shaft 18. The vertical portion 54 has nail holes 55 for wall mounting.

Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and, for example, the following means can be used as means for adjusting the length of the struts. In the embodiment shown in FIG.
Although a length adjusting part 13 with a thread formed thereon is screwed together, no thread is formed on both 10 and 13, and the length adjusting part 13 is simply inserted into the strut pipe 10. Then, a screw hole passing through the inside and outside of the support pipe 10 is bored in the radial direction of the support pipe 10. By screwing a set screw into this screw hole and pressing the length adjustment part 13 inserted into the strut pipe 10 with the tip of the set screw, the length adjustment part 13 is fixed at an appropriate position in the strut pipe 10. do.

In addition, in order to prevent the tip of the clothesline rod 12 from falling when the clothesline rod 12 is used without being placed on the opposing lower beam 5 or inserted,
The rod 12 may be lifted up using a chain or the like. At this time, one end of the chain is fixed to an appropriate location on the top of the support column 11, and the other end of the chain is fixed to the top of the pole 11.
What is necessary is just to fix it to the appropriate location of 2.

[Effect of idea]

Thus, in the present invention, even if the width of the beam protruding from the wall is small, 2 cm or less, a clothesline with a sufficient diameter of about 3 to 4 cm is placed parallel to the wall and attached to the beam. It can be stored on top. Therefore, even when the laundry is not being dried, it can be stored indoors on a beam with the laundry attached, so it does not spoil the aesthetics of the room, and it is possible to provide an optimal clothes dryer for indoor use.
