[0017] An embodiment of the drying device of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The drying device of the present invention can easily hang strip-shaped objects, can be easily folded when brought indoors, and can be easily hung on a target object (such as a lintel) inside the building again. In the following description, the longitudinal direction of the drying device is L, the transverse direction intersecting (perpendicular to) the longitudinal direction L of the drying device is S, and the height direction of the drying device is H. [First embodiment]

[0018] A clothes drying device 11 of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 11. As shown in Figure 1, the clothes drying device 11 includes a frame body 12 and a hook 13 for suspending the frame body 12.

[0019] Hook 13 can be hooked onto an object to be locked (such as a clothesline pole or a lintel). Hook 13 has handle portion 14 into which multiple fingers can be inserted, hook body 15 extending from handle portion 14, locking member 16 that prevents hook body 15 from falling off from the object to be locked, joint member 17 that is freely rotatable with respect to handle portion 14, and connector 18 that connects joint member 17 to frame body 12.

[0020] The handle portion 14 is formed in an elliptical (annular) shape by wire made of metal, for example, stainless steel. The hook body 15 is also formed in a "U" shape by wire made of metal, for example, stainless steel. The hook body 15 is a portion that can be directly hooked to an object to be locked. In this case, the object to be locked may be a clothesline pole or the like outdoors. The object to be locked may be a lintel, curtain rail, clothesline rack, clothesline stand, or the like indoors. The locking member 16 is formed by wire made of metal, for example, stainless steel, and is configured to be freely rotatable with respect to the handle portion 14. The locking member 16 can be hooked to the tip portion 15A of the hook body 15 to be locked. When in the above-mentioned locked state, the locking member 16 can prevent the hook body 15 from falling off the object to be locked, outdoors or indoors.

[0021] The joint member 17 is integrally formed from a metal, for example, a stainless steel material. The joint member 17 has a holding portion 21 that extends in an elongated elliptical shape in the horizontal direction (the longitudinal direction of the clothes drying device 11), and a spherical portion 22 that protrudes in the height direction H (upward) from the holding portion 21 and has a spherical tip. The spherical portion 22 is held inside the annular handle portion 14 and can rotate freely relative to the handle portion 14. The holding portion 21 can rotatably hold a part of the connector 18 that is passed through the inside of the holding portion 21.

[0022] 1 and 2, the connector 18 is formed in a "V" shape from a wire made of metal, such as stainless steel. Both ends of the connector 18 are rotatably attached to the protrusions 23 provided on the frame 12.

[0023] The frame body 12 is formed integrally in a frame shape by bending a wire of metal, for example, stainless steel, and welding each part. The frame body 12 has a pair of first members 31 extending in the longitudinal direction L of the clothes drying device 11, a plurality of second members 32 extending in a direction intersecting the first members 31 (short direction S), a plurality of clips 33 provided to face the second members 32, a plurality of protrusions 23 protruding from the first members 31, a pair of joints 34 provided at intermediate portions of the pair of first members 31 in the longitudinal direction L, and a pair of first stopper portions 35 and second stopper portions 36 provided adjacent to the joints 34 at the intermediate portions of the pair of first members 31.

[0024] Each of the first members 31 is formed into an upper and lower pair by bending a single wire into a ring shape. The joint 34 can rotate the first member 31 between a first position P1 where the first member 31 is extended in a straight state as shown in Fig. 1, and a second position P2 where the first member 31 is folded in half as shown in Fig. 9. The first stopper portion 35 can hold the first member 31 at the first position P1 by abutting against the second stopper portion 36 at the first position P1.

[0025] 1 and 9, the rotation axis X of the joint 34 extends in the lateral direction. Here, the lateral direction is a substantially horizontal direction. When the first member 31 is in the first position P1 and the second position P2, the direction in which the second member 32 extends maintains a state substantially parallel to the rotation axis X of the joint 34.

[0026] 1, the multiple protrusions 23 are provided at four locations near the four corners of the frame body 12. Each of the multiple protrusions 23 is provided so as to protrude in the height direction H (upward) from the first member 31. The protrusions 23 are formed by bending a wire material so as to form an inverted "U" shape.

[0027] The second members 32 extend in a short direction S intersecting with the longitudinal direction L of the drying device 11. As is clear from FIG. 2, the length of each of the pair of first members 31 is longer than the length of each of the second members 32. The second members 32 are provided so as to span between the pair of first members 31. The second members 32 are provided at a constant interval 41 between each other. The interval 41 between the second members 32 is, for example, 31 to 80 mm. In addition, a belt-shaped object 37 can be hung out to dry by hanging it on the second member 32 (see FIG. 8).

[0028] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, each of the second members 32 includes a pair of rod-shaped members 38 formed of a metal, for example, a stainless steel material. Each of the rod-shaped members 38 is formed straight from a wire material, but is not limited to this shape. For example, each of the rod-shaped members 38 may be curved in a wavy shape when viewed from above, or may be curved in a wavy shape when viewed from the side. The diameter of the rod-shaped member 38 is, for example, 2 to 5 mm. As shown in FIG. 2, the pair of rod-shaped members 38 extend substantially parallel to each other with a gap 42 that is smaller than the distance 41 between the second members 32. Furthermore, the gap 42 between the pair of rod-shaped members 38 is larger than the diameter of the rod-shaped members 38. The dimension of the gap 42 between the pair of rod-shaped members 38 is, for example, 6 to 30 mm.

[0029] 1 and 7, the clip 33 faces the second member 32 and can hold an object 37 by sandwiching it between the clip 33 and the second member 32. The clip 33 is formed by bending a single wire made of metal, such as stainless steel. As shown in FIG. 4, the clip 33 includes a pair of opposing contact portions 43 that face or contact the pair of rod-shaped members 38, a pair of connecting portions 44 that connect the pair of opposing contact portions 43 and the first member 31, and a connecting portion 45 that connects the pair of opposing contact portions 43 to each other.

[0030] As shown in Fig. 4, the connection part 44 includes a support part 44A extending substantially horizontally along the short side direction S, and an inclined part 44B extending downwardly from the tip of the support part 44A and supporting the opposing abutment part 43 at its tip. The inclined part 44B is disposed obliquely so as to move away from the second member 32 (rod-shaped member 38) toward the end side of the second member 32. The support part 44A supports the opposing abutment part 43, the inclined part 44B, and the slope part 45A in a cantilever manner. The support part 44A is elastically deformable as a whole, and can elastically support the opposing abutment part 43 and the connection part 45.

[0031] Each of the pair of opposed contact portions 43 is formed straight, but is not limited thereto. The opposed contact portions 43 may be formed bent in a valley shape, with one point of the valley bottom facing or in contact with the rod-shaped member 38. The opposed contact portions 43 may be disposed so as to abut against the rod-shaped member 38 constituting the second member 32 with no gap therebetween, or may be disposed substantially parallel to the rod-shaped member 38 with a gap of about 0.5 mm to several mm therebetween. Since the opposed contact portions 43 are supported by the elastically deformable connecting portion 44, the position of the opposed contact portions 43 relative to the rod-shaped member 38 may be any of the above-mentioned positions.

[0032] The connecting portion 45 is provided so as to be spaced apart from the second member 32. As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the connecting portion 45 includes a slope portion 45A extending from the opposing abutting portion 43 at an upward incline, and an arch portion 45B connecting the slope portions 45A to each other. The slope portion 45A is disposed obliquely so as to move away from the second member 32 (rod-shaped member 38) toward the opposite side (the center in the short-side direction S) from the end side of the second member 32. The arch portion 45B has an upwardly convex arch shape when viewed from the center in the short-side direction S of the clothes drying device 11, for example, but is not limited to this shape. The arch portion 45B may be bent at a substantially right angle when viewed from the center in the short-side direction S of the clothes drying device 11.

[0033] 4, the distance (maximum distance) D1 from the pair of rod-shaped members 38 to the connecting portion 45 (arch portion 45B) is greater than the distance (0 mm to several mm) from the pair of rod-shaped members 38 to the opposing abutment portion 43. In addition, the distance (maximum distance) D1 from the pair of rod-shaped members 38 to the connecting portion 45 (arch portion 45B) is smaller than the distance D2 from the pair of rod-shaped members 38 to the protruding portion 23.

[0034] A method of using the clothes drying device 11 of this embodiment will be described with reference to Figs.

[0035] A user hangs a strip-shaped object 37 (such as a towel) to be hung to dry on the upper side of the second member 32. The user pinches both ends of the object 37 in the width direction (points indicated by black circles in FIG. 6) with both hands and spreads the object 37 in the direction indicated by the arrow (outward in the width direction). At that time, by sliding both ends of the object 37 under the connecting portion 45 (slope portion 45A) of the clip 33, the connecting portion 44 is elastically deformed, and the object 37 can be sandwiched between the opposing contact portion 43 and the second member 32 (rod-shaped member 38) as shown in FIG. 7. This prevents the object 37 from being blown away by the wind or the like.

[0036] The operation of the clothes drying device 11 of this embodiment will be described with reference to Figs. 8 to 11. When a strip-shaped object 37 (towel, etc.) is hung on the upper side of the second member 32 in the above-mentioned procedure, the object 37 straddles the pair of rod-shaped members 38 and is arranged so as to hang down from the pair of rod-shaped members 38. Therefore, as shown by the arrows in Fig. 8, gaps 46 that allow air to circulate are formed between the hung-out objects 37. This allows the object to be dried efficiently in a short time.

[0037] On the other hand, when the clothes drying device 11 is installed outdoors and it suddenly starts raining, the user can fold the first member 31 from the first position P1 shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 8 to the second position P2 shown in FIG. 9. Then, the user can bring the clothes drying device 11 indoors while it is in the second position P2. The user can easily bring the clothes drying device 11 into the folded state (second position P2) by folding the first member 31 together around the joint 34. At that time, since the direction in which the second member 32 extends is substantially parallel to the rotation center axis X of the joint 34, the second member 32 is maintained in a substantially horizontal state before and after the clothes drying device 11 is folded, and the object 37 does not fall off the second member 32.

[0038] After bringing the laundry drying device 11 indoors, the user can hang the laundry drying device 11 again via the hook 13 on an indoor object to be hung (such as a lintel).

[0039] 10 shows a comparison between a general clothespin hanger 47 (right in the figure) and the clothes drying device 11 of this embodiment (left in the figure). As is clear from the figure, the clothes drying device 11 of this embodiment has a dimension in the height direction H that is approximately half that of a general clothespin hanger when an object is hung out. Therefore, with the clothes drying device 11 of this embodiment, it is possible to prevent the bottom end of the object 37 from rubbing against the ground when the clothes drying device 11 is brought indoors from outdoors.

[0040] 11 shows the results of an experiment comparing a strip-shaped object 37A (top in the figure) hung on a general clothespin hanger 47 with an object 37 (bottom in the figure) hung on the clothes drying device of this embodiment. The object 37A dried on the general clothespin hanger 47 is deformed at corners 48 hung by the clothespins and their surroundings, whereas the object 37 dried on the clothes drying device 11 of this embodiment is able to maintain its original rectangular shape without deformation at corners 48 and their surroundings.

[0041] As shown in FIG. 12, the clothes drying device 11 of this embodiment can also dry shoes 51 by placing the shoes 51 on the second member 32.

[0042] According to this embodiment, the following can be said: The clothes drying device 11 includes a pair of first members 31, and a plurality of second members 32 that are arranged between the pair of first members 31 in a direction intersecting the pair of first members 31 and are provided at regular intervals 41 from each other, and that can hang a strip-shaped object 37 by hanging it on the second members 32, and each of the plurality of second members 32 includes a pair of rod-shaped members 38, and the pair of rod-shaped members 38 extend substantially parallel to each other with a gap 42 smaller than the interval 41 between them.

[0043] According to this configuration, since a gap 42 is provided between the pair of rod-shaped members 38, when the object 37 is hung on the second member 32 to dry, a gap 46 can be provided between the objects 37 hanging down from the second member 32. This gap 46 can ensure an air circulation path between the objects 37 hanging down from the second member 32, and the object 37 can be dried in a short time. In addition, the area of ​​the portion where the second member 32 comes into contact with the object 37 can be minimized, preventing the object 37 from drying poorly at this point.

[0044] In this case, the gap 42 is larger than the diameter of the rod-shaped member 38 .

[0045] According to this configuration, a necessary and sufficient gap 46 can be secured between the objects 37 hanging down from the second members 32. Furthermore, according to the above configuration, a certain number of second members 32 can be provided, so that a sufficient number of objects 37 can be hung on the clothes drying device 11. This makes it possible to achieve both high integration of the objects 37 on the clothes drying device 11 and drying of the objects 37.

[0046] In this case, a plurality of clips 33 are provided which face a plurality of second members 32 and are capable of holding an object 37 between the second members 32, and each of the plurality of clips 33 includes a pair of opposing abutment portions 43 which face or abut a pair of rod-shaped members 38, and a connecting portion 45 which connects the pair of opposing abutment portions 43 to each other.

[0047] According to this configuration, since the pair of opposing contact parts 43 are connected to each other by the connecting part 45, when the user holds the object 37 with the pair of opposing contact parts 43 or releases the holding of the object 37 by the pair of opposing contact parts 43, it is sufficient to operate one connecting part 45. This improves the workability when fixing the object 37 to the clothes drying device 11 or removing the object 37 from the clothes drying device 11. Also, the area of ​​the part of the object 37 covered by the clip 33 can be minimized. This further improves the drying property of the object around the part clamped by the clip.

[0048] In this case, the distance from the pair of rod-shaped members 38 to the connecting portion 45 is greater than the distance from the pair of rod-shaped members 38 to the opposing contact portions 43 .

[0049] This configuration allows the user to easily hook his / her fingers on the connecting portion 45. This allows the user to easily hold the object 37 with the pair of opposing abutment portions 43 and release the object 37 from being held by the pair of opposing abutment portions 43.

[0050] In this case, the clothes drying device 11 is provided with a hook 13 for hooking onto an object to be engaged, and a protrusion 23 that protrudes from a pair of first members 31 and is connected to the hook 13, and the distance from the pair of rod-shaped members 38 to the connecting portion 45 is smaller than the distance from the pair of rod-shaped members 38 to the protrusion 23.

[0051] According to this configuration, the connecting portion 45 can be disposed at a position where the user can easily hook his / her finger.

[0052] Each of the multiple clips 33 has an inclined portion 44B extending away from the second member 32 as it proceeds from the opposing abutment portion 43 toward the end side of the second member 32, a slope portion 45A extending away from the second member 32 as it proceeds from the opposing abutment portion 43 toward the side opposite the end side of the second member 32, and a support portion 44A that cantilever-supports the opposing abutment portion 43, the inclined portion 44B, and the slope portion 45A, and is elastically deformable.

[0053] According to this configuration, by sliding the belt-shaped object 37 along the second member 32, the support part 44A is elastically deformed according to the thickness of the object 37, and the object 37 can be sandwiched between the second member 32 and the opposing contact part 43 or removed from between them. This makes it possible to realize a more user-friendly clothes drying device 11.

[0054] In this case, a pair of folding joints 34 are provided in the middle of the pair of first members 31.

[0055] According to this configuration, when the clothes drying device 11 is brought indoors after a sudden rain, it can be brought indoors in a compact state with the first member 31 folded. At that time, the shape of the belt-shaped object 37 does not change significantly in the short side direction S, and the original shape can be maintained to some extent, and there is no risk of the belt-shaped object 37 falling off the second member 32. After the clothes drying device 11 is brought indoors in a folded state, it can be easily returned to the original positional relationship when unfolded again, and can be easily unfolded again to hook onto an object to be hooked inside the building.

[0056] In this case, the first member 31 can rotate via the joint 34 between a first position P1 in which it extends straight and a second position P2 in which it is folded in half, the rotation center axis X of the joint 34 extends horizontally, and when the first member 31 is in the first position P1 and the second position P2, the extension direction of the second member 32 is approximately parallel to the rotation center axis X of the joint 34.

[0057] According to this configuration, it is possible to prevent the object 37 from falling off the second member 32 even when the first member 31 moves between the first position P1 and the second position P2.

[0058] In this case, the length of each of the pair of first members 31 is longer than the length of each of the plurality of second members 32.

[0059] According to this configuration, the long first member 31 side can be folded by the pair of joints 34. This allows the clothes drying device 11 to be folded compactly when it is necessary to bring the clothes drying device 11 inside due to sudden rain. This improves user convenience.

[0060] In the following embodiment, differences from the above embodiment will be mainly described, and illustrations or descriptions of parts common to the above embodiment will be omitted. [Second embodiment]

[0061] A clothes drying device 11 according to a second embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 13. The clothes drying device 11 according to this embodiment is a clothes drying device 11 in which the clip 33 is omitted to simplify the structure.

[0062] In this way, even if the clip 33 is omitted, the object 37 can be hung out to dry on the second member 32. In particular, when the device is mainly used for drying clothes indoors, even the simplified version of the clothes drying device 11 in which the clip 33 is omitted can be suitably used.

The second member 32 is composed of a single rod-shaped member.

[0065] Even in the case where the clips 33 are omitted and the entire device is made of a synthetic resin material as in this embodiment, the object 37 can be hung out to dry on the second member 32. In particular, when the device is mainly used for drying clothes indoors, even this simplified version of the clothes drying device 11 in which the clips 33 are omitted can be suitably used.

[0066] In this embodiment, the second member 32 is composed of a single rod-shaped member, but it may of course also be composed of a pair of rod-shaped members 38 extending approximately parallel to each other with a gap 42 that is smaller than the distance 41 between the second members 32, as in the above embodiment.

[0067] The above-described embodiment can be implemented with various substitutions and modifications. Of course, the above-described different embodiments can be appropriately combined to form one invention. [Explanation of symbols]
