Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field]

The present invention can be applied to the walls of buildings, balcony handrails, etc.
The present invention relates to a clothes drying device in which two arm rods are attached as a set, and an arm rod having a rod hook can be used in a horizontal state or an inclined state, and can be stored vertically when not in use.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, this type of clothes drying device was manufactured in Utility Model 58-152293.
No. and Utility Model No. 56-78788, on the armrest,
A long hole is drilled closer to the proximal end than the position of the rod hanging part, that is, at the bottom when stored vertically, and the shaft rod of the support is inserted into the long hole, so that the arm rod rotates upward and downward. Those attached to a support so as to slide on the
There are devices, such as the one devised in No. 56-48896, in which the arm rod is attached to a support so that it can rotate downward.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the former conventional example above, even if the pole hanging part can be made circular so that the clothesline can be hung even when not in use, the position of the clothesline when stored is too long. If it is located above the hole, that is, well above the support, and is attached to a balcony railing, it will protrude above the balcony railing, obstructing the view from inside the room and making the building look unsightly from the outside. There is a problem with putting it away. Furthermore, since the shaft rod is inserted through a long hole in the arm rod, a thick shaft rod must be used in order to have sufficient strength so that it will not break easily when heavy items such as futons are dried. However, the width of the elongated hole in the arm rod becomes larger, and the area around the elongated hole also has to be made stronger, which causes problems such as the overall size, which makes it unsightly and increases the cost. . Further, even when stored, there is a problem in that the amount of protrusion from the mounting surface into the balcony becomes large and becomes a hindrance. In the latter conventional example, when the clothesline is stored, the clothesline is placed quite low, so if it is attached to the railing of a balcony, it is very dangerous for children to hang their feet on the clothesline and climb up. There was a problem.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention has a casing with an open front, and includes a support body that is fixed to a handrail of a balcony, etc., and a support body that is rotatably and slidably attached to the casing of the support body. In the clothes drying device, the casing is provided with a hook part inside, a passage hole is bored in the bottom plate, and locking parts are provided on both sides of the passage hole, and on the inner surfaces of both sides of the clothes drying device. The arm rods each have guide parts facing each other and a shaft rod, and the arm rods each have a hooking part that is locked to the hook part when in use, and an engaging part that is locked to the locking part at the base end. At the same time, a hook-shaped retaining piece that engages with the shaft rod and rotates is provided so as to protrude upward from the upper edge, and on both sides of the upper edge, a sliding piece that slides while being guided by the guide part is provided. When the arm rod is not in use, the retaining piece separates from the shaft rod and passes through the passage hole, and the sliding portion engages with the guide portion and slides downward to be stored. It is made up of:
