Description

Folding drying rack

The present invention relates to a laundry dryer. More specifically, it relates to a folding clothes rack that can be folded or unfolded.

Folding laundry racks that can be folded when not in use and stretched out to be used to dry laundry indoors or outdoors are known in various forms (for example, registered utility models 409351 and 449083, registered patent 472840). And 859421).

Folding laundry dryers that are commonly sold on the market is a type disclosed in Korean Utility Model Registration No. 409351. Referring to FIG. 1, the clothes drying rack 1 includes a central shaft 3, a first shaft rotating portion 5 provided at both ends of the central shaft, and a second shaft rotating portion 7 located inside the first shaft rotating portion. ), A pair of supports 9 which are coupled to the first shaft rotation part to be extended or folded to the left or right, and are coupled to the second shaft rotation part to be folded to the left and right to hang the laundry, or to be folded when not in use. 11), the support 19 is fixed to rotate the support and supports the clothes hanger 19, and the auxiliary drying stand 21 is fixed to be pivotable to the support and the center is foldable hingedly connected do.

The clothes hanger part 11 is composed of a pair of frames 12 which are coupled to the second shaft rotation part to be extended or folded to the left and right, and a hanger 13 which is fixed to each frame and can hang the laundry. The hanger 13 is composed of a plurality of hook rods 15 and connecting rods 16 for fixing the hook rods so as to be integrated with each other, and some hook rods are coupled to the frame 12 at both ends of the hook rod 13. An annular coupling portion 17 is fixed to the frame. Therefore, the hanger 13 is integrally formed, and the clothes rack part 11 can be manufactured simply by coupling the annular coupling part 17 to the frame 12 by pressing or the like.

This rack may be modified, as shown in FIG. 2, to allow more laundry. This modified laundry dryer 1 'has another laundry hanger 11' located at the bottom of the laundry hanger 11 instead of the auxiliary dryer 21. The clothes hanger part 11 'is configured to have its own central axis 3' and a third shaft rotation part 5 'installed at both ends of the central axis, but the rest is the same as the clothes hanger part 11. It is configured. The clothes rack part 11 'is supported by another pedestal 19' which is fixed to be able to axially rotate to the support.

The laundry drying rack (1,1 ') has a relatively simple configuration and easy to manufacture and convenient to use, but has the following problems.

In the conventional laundry drying rack (1, 1 '), the first shaft rotation part (5) and the second shaft rotation part (7) located inside the first shaft rotation part are connected to one end of the central shaft (3) by the screw (23). It is fixed to enable rotation. These shaft rotation parts 5, 7 have a circular plate shape as shown and these plates (four plates) are configured to be in close contact with each other. Therefore, there is a problem that the shaft rotation is not smooth due to the friction between the circular plates when rotating the shaft (actually, when the shaft is rotated with a commercially available product, it gives a feeling that it is rather stiff). On the other hand, each of the shaft rotation parts 5 and 7 should be formed in a left mold and a right mold so as to be symmetrical, which increases the manufacturing cost (for example, two molds in the case of plastic products) and complicates the assembly process.

In addition, the conventional laundry dryer (1, 1 ') is an auxiliary drying rack 21 when the support (9), which serves to support the clothes dryer itself is unfolded left and right for use, limiting the unfolding limit Should. Therefore, the auxiliary drying rack 21 is an essential element for the laundry drying rack, and when the auxiliary drying rack 21 is broken and fails to operate, it is necessary to discard the laundry drying rack itself. Registration Utility Model No. 409351 proposes a modified laundry dryer 1 'as shown in FIG. 2 so as to hang more laundry. However, since the laundry dryer 1 'does not have an auxiliary dryer 21, the unfolding limit of the support 9 cannot be limited and cannot be used in practice.

Finally, the clothes rack parts 11 and 11 'of the clothes drying racks 1 and 1' are fixed to the frame 12 by the integrated hook 13 to the frame 12 by engaging the ring coupling part 17 with the frame 12. If there is a bar coupling portion 17 is loose during long time use, the hanger 13 is moved along the frame 12 to the left and right, there is a problem that becomes unstable.

An object of the present invention is to provide a laundry drying rack that solves the problems of the conventional folding clothes drying rack described above.

The first object of the present invention is to provide a laundry drying rack that occurs smoothly in the axial rotation.

A second object of the present invention is to provide a laundry drying rack configured to simply limit the axial rotation angle of the axial rotation unit, and this angle restriction is generated in the axial rotation unit itself.

The third object of the present invention is to provide a clothes dryer that is fixed to the frame even after a long time using the hanger constituting the clothes rack portion of the clothes dryer.

A fourth object of the present invention is to provide a laundry drying rack that is simple to manufacture and assemble.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention consists of a pair of fixed brackets, a pair of U-shaped frame and the support of one side of the L-shaped rotating bracket is fixed to each end of the frame, a pair of U-shaped frame Provides a foldable clothes drying rack consisting of a clothes rack portion, one end of which is fixed to the end of the L-shaped rotating bracket, and a first pedestal that is axially rotatable to the support and supports the clothes hanger. At this time, the other side of each of the L-shaped rotating bracket of the support and the laundry hanger is rotatably fixed to the fixed bracket, the L-shaped rotating bracket of the support is disposed so as to be located inside and the L-shaped rotating bracket of the laundry hanger is located outside, The L-shaped rotating bracket has a rotation angle limited by the fixed bracket when the shaft rotates, but the L-shaped rotating bracket of the clothes rack portion can be freely rotated. As a result, unlike the known laundry dryer, when the support is opened to the left or right, the opening angle is limited, so that the auxiliary dryer is not required. In addition, since both the support and the laundry hanger use the same type of L-shaped rotating bracket, it is easy to manufacture and assemble since it does not require the left and right members like the known laundry dryer.

According to the present invention, it is preferable that the straight central shaft is fixed to the fixed bracket and positioned above the L-shaped rotating brackets arranged in a line. This allows not only to hang the laundry on the central axis, but also convenient when the central axis serves as a handle to move the laundry dryer.

In addition, according to the present invention, it further includes a means for restricting the movement of the hanger in the longitudinal direction along the longitudinal frame of the laundry hanger by improving the hanger of the known hanger. This means is formed on one side of the hanger and is composed of a second ring-shaped coupling portion that is coupled to the width direction frame of the clothes hanger, or formed on one side of the connecting rod of the hanger and comprises a fixed end fixed to one side of the L-shaped rotating bracket of the clothes hanger. It is preferable.

In addition, according to the present invention, if necessary, it is possible to attach a known auxiliary drying rack or auxiliary laundry hanger, thereby drying a large amount of laundry.

According to the present invention, the axial rotation in the axial rotation of the laundry dryer is smooth and the axial rotation angle of the axial rotation is simply limited in the axial rotation itself, and thus does not require a separate auxiliary drying rack. In addition, the hanger of the clothes rack is firmly fixed to the frame even after a long time of use, and the manufacturing and assembly of the clothes dryer becomes simple.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to Figure 3, foldable laundry drying rack 30 according to the present invention is composed of a pair of U-shaped frame 51 and the support 50 that serves to support the drying rack, and also a pair of U-shaped frame (61) It consists of a) and includes a clothes hanger 60 to hang the laundry. L-shaped rotating brackets 53 and 63 are attached to the U-shaped frames 51 and 61 of the support and the drying rack, and one L-shaped rotating bracket is attached to each end of the frame 51 and 61 (see FIG. 4). . Therefore, eight rotating brackets 53 and 63 are used in total, and each rotating bracket 53 and 63 is preferably manufactured in the same size. One side of these rotating brackets 53 and 63 is fixed to the end of each frame by screws 57 and 67, respectively.

The other side of each rotation bracket (53, 63) is rotatably fixed to a pair of fixing bracket (40). At this time, the rotation bracket 53 of the support 50 is arranged on the inside and the rotation bracket 63 of the laundry hanger 60 is located outside. According to this arrangement, the axial rotational movement of the support 50 and the clothes rack unit 60 does not perform axial rotational movement about one rotational axis, unlike the known laundry dryer, but performs axial rotational movement around a plurality of rotational axes. Done. In the illustrated embodiment, these rotating brackets 53 and 63 are arranged in a row, but other arrangements may be used as described below. Meanwhile, the fixing method of the rotating bracket with respect to the fixing bracket may be any fixing method capable of axial rotation, but as shown, holes 54 and 64 and the fixing bracket 40 formed in the respective rotating brackets 53 and 63 are shown. It is preferable that the rivets are axially rotatably fixed by a plurality of rivets 55 and 65 passing through the respective holes 41 formed therein. This is because the rivet fixation looks good and smooth shaft rotation is possible. The illustrated rivet fixing is a method in which the first rivet on one side is inserted into the second rivet on the other side to be riveted.

Hereinafter, the axial rotation of the support 50 and the clothes rack unit 60 according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 5.

Since the rotary brackets 53 and 63 have their own widths, the rotary brackets 53 of the support 50 are arranged inside and the rotary brackets 63 of the laundry hanger 60 are arranged outside. , The laundry bracket rotating bracket 63 can be freely rotated without causing any interference with the fixing bracket 40, but the supporting bracket 55 has a fixed bracket 40 at a specific point 85 during the rotating shaft. You'll meet and you can't rotate any more. The angle at which the support 50 is opened to the left and right by axial rotation is the distance between the rotation brackets 53 of the support, the position of the rotation axis of the rotation bracket 53 with respect to the bottom of the fixing bracket 40, and the rotation bracket 53 It is determined by the width size, and it is desirable to adjust the distance, position, etc. to open about 45 degrees.

In the illustrated embodiment, the rotating brackets 53 and 63 are arranged in a row. However, even when the rotation bracket 53 and the rotation bracket 63 are arranged at different heights, that is, in two rows, the rotation bracket 53 of the bracket 53 and the support of the bracket 63 is attached to the fixed bracket 40. By the rotation angle is limited and the rotating bracket 63 of the clothes rack portion can be freely rotated. In the case of the two-row arrangement, the two rotating brackets 63 positioned on the outside and the two rotating brackets located on the inside are preferably arranged at the same height.

The basic function of each of these components is the same as that of the known laundry dryers. In other words, the support 50 and the clothes rack unit 60 are folded when not in use, and are rotated so as to be unfolded in the folded state as shown in the drawing. On the other hand, the laundry drying rack 30 includes a first pedestal 70 fixedly rotatable at an appropriate position of the support 50, like the known laundry dryer 30, so that the clothes rack unit 60 is in the unfolded position of the first pedestal. Supported by 70.

According to the present invention as described above, since the axial rotation of the support 50 and the laundry hanger 60 is axially rotated around a plurality of rotating shafts, unlike the known laundry dryer, the axial rotation portion than the known laundry dryer. Axial rotation at is smooth. In addition, the shaft rotation is more smooth because the shaft rotation is not by bolt coupling, but by rivet coupling. On the other hand, since the axial rotation angle of the support 50 is simply limited by the configuration of the axial rotation portion itself, unlike the known laundry drying rack, the auxiliary drying rack 21 is not required. In the case of the present invention, unlike a known laundry dryer, a separate fixing bracket is required, but each rotating bracket has the same shape and size. Therefore, unlike the known laundry dryer, which should be formed in a left mold and a right mold so that each shaft rotation part 5, 7 is symmetrical, the manufacturing and assembly process is simple and thus, the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

In the case of the present invention, a simple configuration as described above can exhibit a function as a fully foldable clothes drying rack, as shown, it is preferable that the straight central shaft 45 is fixed to the fixing bracket 40. The central shaft 45 is fixed to the fixing bracket 40 by screwing the screw 47 through the hole 43 of the fixing bracket and screwing into the screw hole 46 of the central shaft 45. The central shaft 45 is preferably positioned above the L-shaped rotating bracket 53 of the support and the L-shaped rotating bracket 63 of the laundry hanger. If there is a central shaft (45) can not only wash the clothes here, but also the central axis serves as a handle is convenient when folding the laundry dryer in the folded state in the folded state or when moving the clothes dryer.

As described above, the hanger 13 used in the known hanger part is formed integrally and easily fixed to the hanger part, but after a long time of use, the hanger 13 extends along the lengthwise frame of the hanger part. There was a problem moving to. The present invention uses a hanger that solves this problem.

Referring to FIG. 6, basically, the hanger 70 according to the present invention has a first annular coupling portion 73 coupled to a longitudinal frame of the laundry hanger 60 similarly to the known hanger 13 on both sides. It consists of a plurality of hook rods 71 and connecting rods 75 for fixing the hook rods in position to be formed integrally. As shown in the related art, the annular coupling portion originally shown shows the final state in which the straight portion is coupled to the lengthwise frame of the clothes rack portion by a press or the like. You can do it. The hanger 70 of the present invention is formed on one side of the connecting rod 75 of the hanger as a means of restricting the movement of the hanger in the longitudinal direction along the lengthwise frame of the clothes rack and the L-shaped rotating bracket 63 of the clothes rack. The fixed end 77 is fixed to one side of the. The fixed end 77 is formed in an annular shape, as shown in FIG. 7, rotated by a screw 67 that fixes one side of the rotation bracket 63 of the clothes rack part 60 to the mold 61. It is fixed to the frame 61 together with the bracket (63). Therefore, the hanger 70 is limited in longitudinal movement even after long time use.

In Fig. 8 there is shown another hanger 70 'with means for restricting the hanger from moving longitudinally along the hanger. The hanger 70 ′ is formed at one side of the hanger and has a second annular engaging portion 79 that engages with the frame in the width direction of the laundry hanger 60.

In the present invention, when the support 50 is opened to the left and right, the opening angle is limited so that it does not require an auxiliary drying rack 21 such as a known laundry drying rack. However, as shown in FIG. 9, the laundry dryer 30 'may be provided with an auxiliary dryer 83 so as to hang more laundry or other items. The auxiliary drying rack 83 is fixed to the support 50, as in the known auxiliary drying rack 21, and is pivotally hinged to the center thereof. This auxiliary drying rack 83 should be formed to have a width dimension corresponding to the opening angle of the support 50.

In some cases, as shown in FIG. 10, the clothes dryer 30 ″ may have an auxiliary clothes hanger 85 in place of the auxiliary dryer 83 as described above. The basic configuration and dimensions of the auxiliary clothes hanger 85 is the same as the clothes hanger 60, but the central shaft portion 86 is configured not to be folded. This is because when the central shaft portion 86 is folded, the auxiliary laundry hanger 85 may be folded by its load when its own load or laundry is hanging. The auxiliary clothes rack portion 85 is supported by the second pedestal 87 which is fixed to the support 50 at the lower portion of the first pedestal 80 in the same manner as the pedestal 80.

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
