[0002] A clothes drying rack is a household item used for drying clothes. Utility model patent application CN201722534U discloses a multifunctional, floor-standing, foldable clothes drying rack. It includes a left U-shaped tube and a right U-shaped tube that is movably connected to the left U-shaped tube. An adjusting handle is provided between the legs of the left and right U-shaped tubes. One end of the adjusting handle is movably connected to a leg of the right U-shaped tube, and the other end of the adjusting handle is movably connected to a leg of the left U-shaped tube after passing through an L-shaped through hole via a connector. It can be folded and can dry a large number of clothes at once.
[0003] The movable corner is a device installed on the bending part of the clothes rack to increase the amount of clothes that can be dried. Utility model patent application CN221398391U discloses an external push-pull clothes hanger. It includes a seat body for snapping and fixing to the corner of the clothes rack; symmetrical straight grooves are formed on both sides of the upper end of the seat body; stop portions are formed on the seat body at both ends of each straight groove; a sliding groove is formed in the bottom of the push-pull component; and raised sliders are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the sliding groove. The push-pull component is sleeved on the upper end of the seat body.
[0004] This push-pull clothes rack, while increasing the number of clothes hangers and items that can be dried at once, has several drawbacks. The push-pull component, connected to the upper part of the base via a sliding groove, allows for reciprocating linear movement along the base, altering its extension length. This structure requires two hands to operate, making it somewhat strenuous. Furthermore, a tight connection between the push-pull component and the base results in significant friction, making movement difficult. A loose connection also poses a risk of the push-pull component detaching after clothes are hung. Utility Model Content

[0032] Reference Figures 1-6 A movable corner bracket for a clothes drying rack includes a locking seat 1 and a rotating handle 2. The locking seat 1 includes a locking groove 1a for locking and fixing to the corner of the clothes drying rack, which is approximately arc-shaped and matches the outer wall of the circular tube of the clothes drying rack. Extensions 1b are provided at both ends of the locking seat 1. The locking seat 1 is approximately triangular, with its longest side being arc-shaped, and the included angle between the two extensions 1b is approximately a right angle. At least one extension 1b is provided with a first hanging groove 1c for hanging clothes, and multiple such grooves are arranged side-by-side. A hinge seat 3, which is approximately circular, is provided between the two extensions 1b of the locking seat 1. The hinge seat 3 is provided with a hinge groove 3a, and symmetrical sliding grooves 3b and pivot holes 3 are provided on the inner walls of the hinge seat 3 on both sides of the hinge groove 3a. c. The slide groove 3b is roughly U-shaped; the first end of the rotating handle 2 is provided with a rotating shaft 2a, which can be a single shaft or two symmetrically arranged cylinders; the two ends of the rotating shaft 2a press against the slide groove 3b, causing the slide groove wall to expand outward, and then slide along the slide groove 3b into the rotating shaft hole 3c, and then the slide groove wall automatically resets to prevent the rotating shaft 2a from falling out; the rotating handle 2 and the hinge seat 3 are rotatably connected through the above structure; the second end of the rotating handle 2 is provided with a groove 2b, which is roughly arc-shaped and matches the shape of the extension 1b. The groove 2b can be fastened to the extension 1b and stored together; the rotating handle 2 on both sides of the groove 2b is symmetrically provided with second hanging grooves 2c for hanging clothes, which are arranged side by side.
[0033] In use, the snap-fit slot 1a of the snap-fit base 1 is snapped into the corner of the clothes rack, so that the snap-fit base 1 is connected and fixed to the round tube of the clothes rack. When it is necessary to increase the number of clothes to be dried, the rotating handle 2 can be rotated so that the second hanging slot 2c faces upward, and then clothes or hangers can be hung on each of the second hanging slots 2c. When it is not necessary to increase the number of clothes to be dried, the rotating handle 2 can be rotated in the opposite direction so that the groove 2b of the rotating handle 2 is engaged with one of the extensions 1b and stored together to avoid taking up space. The rotating handle 2 of this application can be rotated with one hand, which is convenient and labor-saving. The connection between the rotating handle 2 and the snap-fit base 1 is relatively stable. After the rotating handle 2 is opened, the number of clothes to be dried can be increased, which is very practical.
[0034] In some embodiments, the distance between the two grooves 3b is less than the distance between the two pivot holes 3c; the distance between the two end faces of the pivot 2a is less than or equal to the distance between the two pivot holes 3c. This structure ensures that once the two ends of the pivot 2a are inserted into the two pivot holes 3c, they are not easily dislodged, and the connection between the rotating handle 2 and the locking seat 1 is relatively stable.
[0035] In some embodiments, the hinge slot 3a of the hinge seat 3 is provided with a blocking surface 3d at one end; the outer wall of the first end of the rotating handle 2 is provided with a long strip-shaped blocking protrusion 2d along the width direction. After the rotating handle 2 is rotated open, the blocking protrusion 2d cooperates with the blocking surface 3d to limit the maximum rotation angle of the rotating handle 2.
[0036] In some embodiments, both the snap-fit seat 1 and the rotating handle 2 are integrally molded from plastic injection molding, which is convenient to mold and has a certain degree of elasticity; the hinge seat 3 has decorative surfaces 3e symmetrically provided on both sides, which can be used to paste trademarks or patterns, etc., which are beautiful and practical.
[0037] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the snap-fit groove 1a is symmetrically provided with limiting ribs 1d along the length direction. These ribs are elongated and can reduce the risk of the clothes rack tube coming loose from the snap-fit groove 1a, making the connection more secure.
[0038] In some embodiments, a first hanging groove 1c is provided on the outer wall of each of the two extensions 1b to facilitate the installation of the snap-fit seat 1 at different corners of the clothes rack; the two sliding grooves 3b are opened at an angle, and the angle between them and the horizontal plane is an acute angle.
[0039] In some embodiments, the decorative surface 3e is a recessed circular plane, which is aesthetically pleasing.
[0040] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification. Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
