Description

Foldable hanger for wash

The present invention relates to a laundry drying rack, and more particularly, to a folding clothes drying rack which can conveniently expand and fix or fold a board to hang clothes at an angle desired by a user.

The field to which the present invention can be applied is a lathe or hanger capable of performing a foldable clothes rack or the like. Hereinafter, the case applied to the laundry drying rack will be representatively described. A front view of a conventional laundry dryer is shown in FIG. The conventional laundry drying rack (hereinafter referred to as "drying rack") includes a pedestal 100 that can be unfolded into a garment; As to hang the laundry, the board (102) connected to the upper end of the pedestal 100 to be expanded or folded to both sides, such as spreading or folding wings; In order to keep the slab 102 unfolded at a predetermined angle, one end includes a brace 104 that is selectively connected to the slab 102 and the other end is pivotally connected to the pedestal. Here, the null plate 102 has a plurality of null bars 106 are installed at regular intervals along the longitudinal direction.

When installing the laundry drying rack, the user can lift the prop 104 and then expand and fix the board 102 by hanging it on any one of the boards 106. In this case, the gap between the null bars 106 should be inevitably spaced apart, so the angle at which the user can install the null plate 102 is extremely limited. That is, the null plate 102 has no choice but to be fixed by only a few angles corresponding to the number of the installed null bars 106.

For this reason, the number of null bars 106 actually used to fix the brace 104 is limited to one or two. The null rod 106 is usually weak in diameter due to its small diameter. Therefore, the null rod 106 is often bent or bent by fatigue when the load transmitted from the brace 104 for a long time.

In addition, there was an uncomfortable problem that the brace 104 is easily separated from the board when the wind blows heavily or hangs or walks. In this regard, Patent Application No. 10-0717589, filed and registered with the Korean Intellectual Property Office by the present inventor, discloses a "folding hanger" to solve the above problem.

A representative drawing of a patented folding clothes dryer 200 is shown in FIG. 2.

Its schematic configuration, seen with reference to FIG. 2;

Null board 202 (expressed as 'support member' in the patent publication); Pedestal 204; In one end of the foldable laundry drying rack is configured to be rotatably connected to the pedestal 204, the other end is composed of a brace 206 connected to the board 202,

A holder member 208 fitted to the pedestal 204 and slidable along its longitudinal direction; A cam bracket 214 integrally installed with the outer side of the holder member 208; A cam member 220 connected to the holder member 208 to be rotatable about the cam shaft 216; In order to rotate the cam member 220, one end is connected to the cam member 220, and the other end includes a link member 222 rotatably connected to the brace 206.

The present invention is devised to achieve a similar object to the disclosed patent, in particular, when folding the slab 202, the holder member 208 falls down along the pedestal 204 to impact the auxiliary board 230. Or it is to be devised to solve the problem of not fully folded by hanging on the auxiliary board 230. In addition, there was a limit in lengthening the length of the brace 206.

The basic object of the present invention for the above problems is to provide a folding clothes drying rack that can be easily expanded to install the board at any angle required by the user, the prop is not easily separated from the board even in the strong wind. Furthermore, it is an object of the present invention to overcome the problems or limitations mentioned in connection with the "folding hanger" disclosed in Patent Registration No. 10-0717589 to provide a more stable and easy to use folding clothes drying rack.

The above object is a pedestal that can be unfolded or folded in the form of "∧" about the central axis; A board that is rotatably connected to the wing shaft so that the wings can be unfolded or folded, and several board bars are fixed in the transverse direction; One end is pivotally connected to the pedestal, and the other end is selectively connected to the board; In the folding clothes drying rack consisting of an auxiliary board installed in the center portion of the pedestal to limit the spread angle of the pedestal;

A cylindrical slide member fitted to a board frame of the board and provided with a board bar through-hole so as to slide in a longitudinal direction of the board frame; A brace connecting member having a brace coupling groove provided at right angles with the null rod through hole to be rotatably coupled to the other end of the brace; A link member having one end hinged to a hinge pin installed on the slide member in parallel with the support coupling groove and the other end integrally connected to the support connecting member; It is achieved by a foldable laundry drying rack, characterized in that it comprises a null bar engaging member that can be protruded in a direction perpendicular to the brace connecting member to pivot the length of the link member in a radius.

In the present invention, the hinge pin may be selectively installed on the slave member or the brace connecting member.

In the present invention, the null rod locking member may be provided with an arc-shaped null rod seating groove so that the null rod having a circular cross section can be seated.

According to the above configuration, there is basically no problem that the material is damaged by the local concentrated load, there is no problem that the prop is separated from the board by the wind or careless use, and a foldable laundry dryer is easy to use. Specifically, there is no problem of not fully folding by impacting the auxiliary board 230 or when caught by the auxiliary board 230 when folding the board, and by increasing the length of the brace can increase the load capacity applied to the board Folding laundry racks are provided.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. 3 to 4 are perspective views of one side link means of the foldable clothes dryer of the present invention, and FIG. 3 shows a state in which a board is opened and FIG. 4 shows a state in which a board can be folded. 5 is an exploded perspective view of the other link means. 6 is a view for explaining a state of use as a front view of the folding clothes dryer of the present invention.

Referring to Figure 6 the basic configuration of the fold-type clothes dryer as follows.

Pedestal 6 that can be expanded or folded in the form of "∧" about the central axis (4) of the connecting bracket (2); A board (12) rotatably connected to the wing shaft (8) so that the wings can be unfolded or folded and several null bars (10) are fixed in the transverse direction; One end is pivotally connected to the pedestal (6), the other end is a brace 14 is selectively connected to the slab (12); In order to limit the unfolding angle of the pedestal (6) comprises an auxiliary board 16 is installed in the center portion of the pedestal (6). Since the above structure is not the same as the conventional one, further description is omitted.

A key aspect of the present invention provides the technical idea of interlocking the board 12, the brace 14 and the pedestal 6 with each other by the link means 18. That is, it is a structure in which the three elements of the board | plate board 12, the brace 14, and the base 6 are connected without mutually separating. In particular, improvements to Patent Registration No. 10-0717589 mentioned in the prior art are key.

The link means 18 is coupled to one brace 14 to be transported along the board 12 or installed to be fixed to the board board 12 where the board 10 is located. Since the configuration and operation are exactly the same, the following description will be given by representing only the link means 18 on one side with reference to FIGS. 3 to 4.

The cylindrical slide member 20 is fitted to the outer circumference of the slab frame 12a of the slab 12. The slide member 20 has an inner diameter that allows the slide plate 20 to slide freely along the longitudinal direction of the board frame 12a, that is, the direction of the arrow A1, and the board member through-hole 22 so as not to be caught by the board member 10 during the slide. It is slit over this whole length. The length of the slide member 20 may be shorter than that shown.

The brace connecting member 24 may be fitted to the other end of the brace 14 (particularly, the horizontal bar 14a) to be rotatably coupled in the direction of the arrow A2. To this end, the brace connecting member 24 is provided with a brace coupling groove 26 having a cross section of "Ω" in a direction perpendicular to the null rod through hole 22. The brace 14 is coupled to the brace connecting member 24 while being elastically expanded by being pressed into the brace coupling groove 26.

As the slab frame 12a and the horizontal bar 14a of the brace form a right angle, the direction through which the null rod passing hole 22 and the brace concave groove 26 are also formed at right angles.

One end of the link member 28 is hinged to the hinge pin 30 installed in the lower portion of the slide member 20 in parallel with the brace coupling groove 26. The other end of the link member 28 is integrally connected to the brace connecting member 24. The link member 28 is integral with the brace connecting member 24. However, according to the design situation or the designer's choice, one end of the link member 28 may be integrally connected to the slide member 20 and hinged to the brace connecting member 24.

As a result, the brace connecting member 24 can freely rotate in the direction of the arrow A3 (see FIG. 3) about the hinge pin 30. According to this, the brace 14 and the board 12 can also be relative to the movement in a guessed manner.

The null bar latching member 32 is provided as a means for fixing the null plate at a predetermined angle in a state where it is extended. The null bar engaging member 32 protrudes and extends from the brace connecting member 24 at a right angle. The null rod latching member 32 may be provided with an arc-shaped null rod seating groove 34 so that the outer circumferential surface of the null rod 10 having a circular cross section can be seated.

As a result, the knurled rod member 32 also has a radius of the link member 28 as the radius and the hinge pin 30 as the center of rotation so that it can pivot.

5 shows a link means installed on the opposite side. This is attached for reference for clarity of configuration. As can be seen with reference to Figure 5, the link means 18 has a complete symmetry. Reference numerals are given in the same manner as in FIGS. 3 to 4, and detailed descriptions thereof may be referred to above.

Hereinafter, the operation will be described with reference to FIG. 6. 6 shows the front structure of the link means of the folding clothes drying rack.

The brace 14 undergoes only a rotational movement about the brace fixing shaft 36 fixedly installed at the middle portion of the pedestal 6. To this end, the holder member 38 may be fixedly installed on the outer circumferential surface of the pedestal 6, but this is only an example. That is, the brace 14 may be of a type that is simply fitted into a hole (not shown) perforated in the inner side of the pedestal 6, such as a laundry dryer provided in the prior art.

Naturally, the board 12 is to be unfolded or folded while rotating freely about the wing shaft (8). Thus, in the step of lifting the board 12 (the state of P1 shown by a dashed line), the link member 28 and the brace 14 are almost in a straight line due to the tensile force thereof, and the slide member 20 is a board frame ( It slides in the direction of the wing shaft 8 along 12a). Raise the board above the point where any particular board (10 ') is located, and then support the bottom (14b) of the support (14) with a slight force and the support (14) and the link member (28) form a "∧" shape. While bending to the null bar engaging member 32 is rotated in the clockwise direction around the hinge pin 30, the corresponding null bar (10 ') is seated in the null rod seating groove (34). The state caught by the null rod 10 'is a state P2 shown by a solid line. In this state P2, when a load W is applied to the board 12 from above, the slide member 20 maintains a fixed state that cannot be slid along the board frame 12a.

When folding the board 12, the support board 14 and the link member 28 are folded to "∨", as long as the board 12 is slightly lifted and the upper surface 14c of the prop is touched with a small force. And the slide member 20 slides in a direction away from the wing shaft 8 along the board frame 12a without receiving any resistance. When the slide member 20 is slid as much as possible, the pedestal 6 and the board 12 are in a state of being folded so as to be parallel to each other (P4).

Another embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. 7 is a partial front view of the folding clothes dryer according to another embodiment of the present invention. According to this embodiment, a structure is provided that enables the board 12 to be supported more stably. The components of the link means 18 are the same as in the previous embodiment and are therefore given the same reference numerals. However, the link member 28 and the null bar latching member 32 are installed symmetrically with respect to the previous embodiment (except for the null rod seating groove 34, which is an additional element) with respect to the hinge pin 30.

The structure of interconnecting the three linear members described above can be used not only for the laundry drying rack but also for various hangers. Therefore, the scope of the present invention may extend to such a hanger.
