Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a household item, and more particularly to a treadmill clothes rack. Background Technology

[0002] For families that own a treadmill, the treadmill itself takes up space, and since it's not used all the time, some families often use it for hanging clothes. Since treadmills can be used for hanging clothes, it's necessary to expand their functionality to meet usage needs and improve the clothes-drying experience. For treadmill models with side handrails, the handrails are not convenient for hanging clothes. If clothes hangers could be installed horizontally along the side handrails, the space on the treadmill could be better utilized for hanging clothes. These hangers should also be easy to install and remove so as not to interfere with the normal use of the treadmill. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a treadmill clothes rack. It has a telescopic clothes rod that can be adapted to the installation of handrails of different widths and is easy to retract and disassemble. The structure that works with the handrails is easy to assemble and disassemble and does not affect the use of the treadmill.

[0004] The present invention adopts the following technical solution: a treadmill clothes rack, comprising an inner rod and an outer rod nested together, the inner rod and the outer rod moving relative to each other along the axial direction to extend or shorten; the two outer ends of the inner rod and the outer rod are respectively provided with a locking ring and an elastic clip, the locking ring having an openable and closable opening, after the locking ring opens, one side of the treadmill handrail is inserted into the middle space of the locking ring, and the elastic clip is locked at the handrail on the other side of the treadmill, thereby allowing the inner rod and the outer rod to be horizontally mounted on the treadmill.

[0005] As an improvement, the locking ring includes two arc-shaped parts, one end of which is hinged together and the other end is opened and closed to control the opening. Fasteners are provided on the arc-shaped part on the side where the opening is located to lock the structure.

[0006] As an improvement, the inner wall of the curved component is provided with an anti-slip rubber pad that works in conjunction with the handrail.

[0007] As an improvement, the resilient clip includes a pair of spaced-apart clip arms, with the clip arms positioned between the clip arms to accommodate the handrail and to expand to the sides when the handrail is accommodated.

[0008] As an improvement, the inner sides of the pair of armrests have curved surfaces, and anti-slip rubber pads that cooperate with the handrails are provided on the curved surfaces.

[0009] As an improvement, the elastic clip is detachably connected to the outer end of the inner or outer rod via a threaded structure, which allows for the replacement of elastic clips of different models and specifications.

[0010] As an improvement, a pair of clamping plates are symmetrically arranged at the inner end of the outer rod. The outer periphery of the clamping plates is provided with external threads. A clamping ring is also movably sleeved on the inner rod. The inner periphery of the clamping ring is provided with internal threads. The internal threads and external threads are compatible. When the clamping ring is rotated outside the clamping plates, it presses the pair of clamping plates inward, thereby locking the outer rod into the inner rod.

[0011] As an improvement, the resilient latch includes a pair of spaced-apart latching arms, the size between the pair of latching arms being larger than the handrail for the handrail to accommodate, and the resilient latch is locked onto the handrail by the extension of the inner and outer rods.

[0019] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] like Figure 1 , 2As shown in Figure 3, this is a specific embodiment of the treadmill clothes rack of the present invention. This embodiment includes an inner rod 1 and an outer rod 2 that are nested together. The inner rod 1 and the outer rod 2 can move relative to each other along the axial direction to extend or shorten. The two outer ends of the inner rod 1 and the outer rod 2 are respectively provided with a locking ring 3 and an elastic clip 4. The locking ring 3 has an opening 31 that can be opened and closed. After the locking ring 3 opens the opening 31, one side of the handrail of the treadmill is inserted into the middle space of the locking ring 3, and the elastic clip 4 is locked at the handrail on the other side of the treadmill, thereby allowing the inner rod 1 and the outer rod 2 to be horizontally mounted on the treadmill.

[0021] In its implementation, this utility model is applicable to treadmill models with handrails 01 on both sides. After installing the clothes rod crossbar between the handrails 01, the clothes rod is parallel to the treadmill platform 02 above, forming a rod for hanging clothes. Clothes can be placed directly on it or hung with conventional clothes hangers. This effectively utilizes the space of the treadmill for hanging and drying clothes when it is not in use. Treadmills are generally located near windows, balconies, or other locations connected to the outside, thus expanding the clothes hanging and drying function and making more efficient use of the treadmill and the space it occupies. As an improvement, the clothes hanger of this utility model is a telescopic rod with adjustable length. The inner rod 1 and outer rod 2 are interlocked to achieve length adjustment, thus adapting to treadmill models with different handrail spacing, thereby accommodating the arrangement of the rod. Furthermore, the telescopic structure allows for quick disassembly by shortening the length. The installation or locking structure of the pole and handrail 01 is achieved through a locking ring 3 and an elastic clip 4. The locking ring 3 provides a more stable limiting position and pole adjustment function with one side of the handrail 01. The locking ring 3 has an opening 31 that allows the handrail 01 to be accommodated in the middle space of the locking ring 3. After the opening 31 is closed, the locking ring 3 fits snugly onto the handrail 01, forming a locked structure. The elastic clip 4 on the other side, through the extension of the inner rod 1 and outer rod 2, locks and limits the elastic clip 4 against the other side of the handrail 01, thus completing the horizontal frame installation of the pole. Clothes or regular hangers can be hung on the inner rod 1 and outer rod 2. When the treadmill needs to be used, the inner rod 1 and outer rod 2 can be shortened, allowing the elastic clip 4 to detach from the handrail 01, and then the pole can be repositioned as follows. Figure 1 The dotted line indicates that the handrail 01 hangs naturally on one side, without affecting the normal use of the treadmill, thus allowing for quick adjustment. In terms of material selection, the inner rod 1, outer rod 2, and locking ring 3 are preferably made of lightweight alloy to ensure structural strength; the elastic clip 4 is made of rotatable plastic material, which has good structural strength and can produce a certain structural deformation to lock and limit its position against the handrail 01.

[0022] As an improved specific implementation, the locking ring 3 includes two arc-shaped members 32, one end of which is hinged to each other, and the other end is opened and closed to control the opening 31. Fasteners 33 are provided on the arc-shaped member 32 on the side where the opening 31 is located to lock the structure.

[0023] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown, two arc-shaped components 32 form a ring, namely a locking ring 3. The two arc-shaped components 32 rotate relative to their hinged positions, creating an opening 31 at the distal end. This opening 31 allows the handrail 01 to pass through and enter the ring. The opening 31 is then closed again, and finally locked by a fastener 33. In practice, the fastener 33 can be a bolt-nut assembly, with the bolt passing through the two arc-shaped components 32, and the nut tightening to close the opening 31. In practical implementation, the open structure of the two arc-shaped parts 32 can accommodate handrails 01 of different specifications. Even if the handrail 01 is large, it can be clamped by the two arc-shaped parts 32, and the locking ring 3 can be clamped on the handrail 01 by tightening the bolts and nuts to complete the installation. At this time, the opening 31 does not need to be completely closed. In order to accommodate the two arc-shaped parts 32 not being completely closed to complete the installation and locking, the position of the bolt and nut can also be adapted to set a deformable mounting plate that can change the orientation to pass through the bolt, or a larger through hole can be set to pass through the bolt, so that the bolt can change the orientation and pass through the two through holes.

[0024] As an improved specific implementation, the inner wall of the arc-shaped component 32 is provided with an anti-slip rubber pad 5 that cooperates with the handrail.

[0025] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown, in order to adapt to handrails 01 of different specifications and to improve the positional stability of the locking ring 3 after installation, an anti-slip rubber pad 5 is further provided on the inner wall of the arc-shaped part 32. The anti-slip rubber pad 5 can prevent slippage after being supported at the handrail 01. Relying on the elastic physical properties of the anti-slip rubber pad 5, the handrail 01 can be locked by the deformation of the two arc-shaped parts 32 when they are closed and clamped. In this way, even if the handrail 01 is relatively smooth or has a certain tilt angle, the stability of the installation position can be guaranteed.

[0026] As an improved specific implementation, the elastic clip 4 includes a pair of clip arms 41 spaced apart, with the pair of clip arms 41 accommodating the handrail and opening the clip arms 41 to both sides when the handrail is accommodated.

[0027] like Figure 2As shown, during installation, the inner rod 1 and the outer rod 2 are extended so that the space between the pair of clamping arms 41 is aligned with the handrail 01. Then, the handrail 01 is inserted between the pair of clamping arms 41, and the pair of clamping arms 41 are spread open to complete the structural limitation. The handrail 01 is then held in place by the pair of clamping arms 41.

[0028] As an improved specific implementation, the inner sides of a pair of armrests 41 have arc-shaped surfaces 42, and anti-slip rubber pads 5 are provided on the arc-shaped surfaces 42 to cooperate with the handrails.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, as an optimization of the structure, the pair of clamping arms 41 are arc-shaped, with an arc-shaped surface 42 on their inner side. When the handrail 01 opens the pair of clamping arms 41, the narrower outer end is opened first, and then it is accommodated in the internal space. Due to the setting of the arc-shaped surface 42, the distance in the internal space is greater than that at the outer end, which causes the pair of clamping arms 41 to return to their relative positions. The outer ends close to limit the handrail 01, and the handrail 01 is clamped in the middle of the arc-shaped surface 42. The anti-slip rubber pad 5 set here prevents the handrail 01 from slipping, thus making the clamping structure more stable.

[0030] As an improved specific implementation, a pair of clamping plates 21 are symmetrically arranged at the inner end of the outer rod 2. The outer periphery of the clamping plates 21 is provided with external threads. The inner rod 1 is also movably fitted with a clamping ring 22. The inner periphery of the clamping ring 22 is provided with internal threads. The internal threads and external threads are compatible. When the clamping ring 22 is screwed outside the clamping plates 21, it presses the pair of clamping plates 21 inward, thereby locking the outer rod 2 into the inner rod 1.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, the pair of clamping pieces 21 are arc-shaped, and the external threads on both are continuous threads along the circumference. The internal thread of the clamping ring 22 engages with the external thread of the clamping piece 21. After the clamping ring 22 is screwed into the clamping piece 21, the clamping piece 21 is pressed inward by the clamping ring 22 due to its size design, thereby pressing the clamping piece 21 against the inner rod 1, locking the positions of the outer rod 2 and the inner rod 1. When it is necessary to adjust the length of the outer rod 2 and the inner rod 1, the clamping ring 22 is unscrewed to release the locked state. By locking the positions of the outer rod 2 and the inner rod 1, the locking effect of the locking ring 3 and the elastic clip 4 with their respective handrails 01 can be further improved.

[0032] As an improved specific implementation, the elastic locking member 4 includes a pair of locking arms 41 spaced apart. The size between the pair of locking arms 41 is larger than the handrail so that the handrail can be accommodated. The elastic locking member 4 is locked and thus locked at the handrail after the inner rod 1 and the outer rod 2 are extended.

[0033] like Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, a pair of locking arms 41 with a spacing larger than that of the handrail 01 can be used in conjunction with an outer rod 2 and an inner rod 1 having a locking structure with a clamping ring 22 and a clamping piece 21. That is, after the outer rod 2 and the inner rod 1 are extended to lock the pair of locking arms 41 onto the handrail 01, the length of the outer rod 2 and the inner rod 1 locks in place to ensure the structural stability of the locking arms 41 and the handrail 01. This type of locking arm 41 can be adapted to handrails 01 of more sizes, improving the applicability of this product in a single size.

[0034] As an improved specific implementation, the inner rod 1 and the outer rod 2 are provided with a plurality of limiting grooves 6 along the axial direction for accommodating and limiting the clothes hanger or clothes hook.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, the specifically designed limiting groove 6 can accommodate a regular clothes hanger, thus preventing the hanger from moving axially and facilitating more orderly drying of clothes. In practice, the limiting groove 6 can be designed as a ring, which eliminates the need to consider the circumferential position of the inner rod 1 and the outer rod 2, making the product easier and more convenient to use.

[0036] As an improved specific implementation, the elastic clip 4 is detachably connected to the outer end of the inner rod 1 or the outer rod 2 via a threaded structure, thereby enabling the replacement of elastic clips 4 of different models and specifications.

[0037] The locking ring 3 is detachably connected to the outer end of the inner rod 1 or the outer rod 2 via a threaded structure, which is used to replace locking rings 3 of different models and specifications.

[0038] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown, to accommodate a wider range of treadmill models, the elastic clip 4 and locking ring 3 are designed to be detachable from the inner rod 1 or outer rod 2. The threaded structure allows for easy assembly and disassembly through rotation, reducing operational difficulty. During product manufacturing, different sizes of the elastic clip 4 and locking ring 3 can be produced according to some common treadmill models on the market, allowing consumers to replace them with the corresponding handrail 01 specifications of their treadmills, thereby increasing the applicability of this product and compensating for the shortcomings of a single specification.

[0039] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are within its protection scope. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within its protection scope.
