Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (a) Industrial application field The present invention relates to a futon drying device that is intended to be used by being fixed to a balcony handrail or railing.

(b) Conventional technology Conventionally, a futon drying frame was installed using the outer handrail of a balcony, the futon was pushed into the futon drying frame and spread out, and the futon was exposed to sunlight or air on the front or back side. There are frames for drying futons, but these frames have a large volume and hang downward. Therefore, when used in an apartment complex or the like, it may come close to a downstairs window, impairing the view or interfering with the use of natural solar heat. Additionally, these products have relatively large volumes, are expensive, and are difficult to utilize.

Regarding such a futon drying frame, the applicant has previously filed the following application. This application relates to a partial improvement of these devices.

References (a) Utility Model Application No. 109593 of 1985 (b) Utility Model No. 168499 of 1985 (c) Application for registration of utility model filed on February 17, 1986 (c) Problems that the invention attempts to solve However, such Futon drying frames, etc. have large frames that hang down toward the downstairs, which not only may obstruct residents' view through the window and use of sunlight, but also is difficult to install on balconies, and is expensive. There are many drawbacks, such as being relatively expensive.

In order to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, the present application aims to save on material costs, is easy to install, and when drying the futon, the part on which the futon is placed is located within the frame of the balcony, so the futon can be dried easily, and the part where the futon hangs down. Since the amount of noise is small, the purpose is to eliminate the interference to the residents downstairs, and also to provide it at a low cost and to eliminate many disadvantages.

(d) Means for solving the problem The futon drying device according to this invention is explained based on the drawing.
b, 2a, and 2b are formed by bending metal rods. Therefore, a quadrilateral is formed by the vertical sides 1a, 1b and the horizontal sides 2a, 2b. On one side 2b of the four sides of this rectangle, there are cross-shaped connecting pipes 3a, 3b,
3c are rotatably mounted at predetermined intervals. Of these, the connecting pipes 3a and 3b are rotatably connected by fitting the ends of both left and right sides 5a and 5b of the letter-shaped support frame. Numeral 6 is a reinforcing rod of the support frame b, which connects and fixes both upper and lower ends to the connecting pipes 3c and 3d, respectively. Similarly, 7 is a reinforcing rod of the support rods 5a and 5b on both left and right sides of the support frame B, and its left and right ends are connected and fixed to the metal rods on both the left and right sides of the support frame to strengthen the support rods. Next, reference numeral 8 indicates a metal fitting for fixing the horizontal rod 4 at the bottom of the support frame B to the crosspiece 13 of the balcony. By operating this fixing fitting 8, the futon placing frame A can be maintained in a horizontal position on the balcony handrail. Frames 1a, 1b, 2a, 2 consisting of four rectangular sides located at the upper part of the support frame B formed in this way
A metal rod 9 is bent into a letter shape on the upper part of b, and the ends of both left and right sides 10a and 10b are bent into a semicircular shape. 11 indicates a stopper. In this way, there are two forming frames (〓-shaped frames) (the drawing shows two frames in parallel, but it is not necessarily limited to two, and depending on the size of the rectangle, it is possible to arrange more in parallel. )
are placed and fixed in parallel on a rectangular frame with four sides 1a, 1b, 2a, and 2b to form a futon placement frame A.

The futon drying device of the present application having the above structure has a semicircular curved part hooked onto the veranda's horizontal bar (handrail) 12, and the bottom horizontal bar 4 of the support frame B is fastened and fixed to the veranda's crosspiece with the fixing fittings 8. It is configured as follows.

(e) Function To use the futon drying device configured as above, first, as shown in the figure, first place the futon mounting frame A on the futon drying device.
Both left and right sides 10a, 10b of a U-shape placed on top of four sides 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b of a rectangle in
The semicircular curved part at the tip of the handle is hooked onto the side beam 12 of the balcony handrail. Next, in order to hold the futon placement frame A horizontally, both the left and right sides of the support frame B are
Operate the horizontal rod 4 by pushing it up from below using the support rods a and 5b.

In this case, when the fixing bracket 8 attached to the horizontal beam 4 is placed between the beams 13 of the balcony and slid up and down on the beam to move the horizontal beam, the futon placement frame A will be positioned horizontally. At this point, the fixing fitting 8 is tightened and fixed.

(The figure omits the fasteners.) In this way, the futon drying device is attached to the side rail 12 of the balcony handrail. The thus installed futon drying equipment is set to protrude into the balcony. Since it is installed in this manner, when drying the futon, a part of the futon is placed on top of this futon mounting frame, and the remaining part is hung down from the side beam of the balcony. In this case, the futon spread on the futon placement frame is pressed down from above by a belt 15, and the belt is attached to protect the futon 14 from sliding downward.

(f) Effects of the invention According to this invention, it can be easily attached to the handrail of a balcony, the frame is foldable, the shape is small, and it is easy to carry.It is not only easy to handle and transport, but also suitable for use in housing complexes with narrow drying areas. Particularly effective for balconies.

In addition, since it is inexpensive, it can be easily installed in a narrow space on a balcony, and it is safe to handle, making it extremely useful for housewives.
