Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a clothes drying device. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, techniques such as those shown in Patent Documents 1 and 2, for example, have been known.

[0003] <Patent Document 1> Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-297300 Patent Document 1 states: The objective of the document is to provide a clothes smoothing device that can "save the time and effort required for ironing, leave washed clothes wrinkle-free when dried, and remove wrinkles from clothes that have become wrinkled after wearing" (paragraph 0006 of the document). A wrinkle smoothing device that is "structured to have one or more elastic expansion / contraction mechanisms (B) attached between two long, thin elastic members (A)" is described (paragraph 0008 of the same document).

[0004] This wrinkle remover may be useful for making washed clothes wrinkle-free when they dry.

[0005] However, it is not suitable for drying clothes efficiently because it is designed to dry clothes by spreading them flat (paragraph 0007 of the same document).

[0006] <Patent Document 2> JP 2019-58235 A In Patent Document 2, The goal is to "avoid wrinkles and shrinkage when drying clothes after washing, reduce the number of times ironing is required after drying, and reduce housework." "An expandable hanger that prevents wrinkles and shrinkage that occur when clothes are dried after washing, and that combines these with clothes, and is made of a hanging device, a pair of pressure plates, a stretching device provided between the pair of pressure plates, and a pressure plate storage device that narrows and fixes the gap between the pair of pressure plates, and is inserted inside the tubular part of the washed clothes by narrowing the gap in the closing direction, and after insertion, the pair of pressure plates are urged in the opening direction by the stretching device provided between the pair of pressure plates, pushing the laundry out from inside the clothes, and after the laundry is removed, the stretching device is compressed in the closing direction to narrow the gap between the pair of pressure plates, and the pair of pressure plates are fixed and stored with the pressure plate storage device. This is a clothes drying expandable hanger that prevents wrinkles and shrinkage that occur when clothes are dried after washing, and combines these with clothes." is stated in the literature summary.

[0007] This clothes drying extension hanger may be suitable for preventing wrinkles and shrinkage as much as possible when drying clothes after washing, and for reducing the number of times that ironing is required after drying.

[0008] However, this clothes drying extension type hanger is not suitable for drying clothes efficiently because the structures shown in Figures 5 and 7 of the document are both designed to dry clothes by pushing them flat, while the structure shown in Figures 4 and 6 is designed to cause the outer periphery of the pressure plate 72 to come into close contact with the inner surface of the clothes over a wide area.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0025] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an embodiment of a clothes drying tool according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In each drawing, the same or corresponding parts are denoted by the same reference numerals.

[0026] The clothes drying device 1 shown in FIG. A hanger body 10 capable of hanging clothing C; The hanger body 10 is connected to the spacer 20, which is disposed on the inside C1 (see FIG. 1(d)) of the garment C hung on the hanger body 10 to support the garment C from the inside C1 and maintain its shape.

[0027] Spacer 20 is A rod body 21 is disposed on the inside C1 of the garment C hung on the hanger body 10; a disk- or ring-shaped shape retaining body 22 provided on the rod body 21, which is circular when viewed from the axial direction of the rod body 21, and at least a part of its outer periphery 22c (see FIG. 1(d)) contacts the inner surface C2 of the garment C to retain the shape of the garment C from the inside C1; Although the shape-retaining body 22 is illustrated as being ring-shaped in FIG. 1(d), the shape-retaining body 22 may be disk-shaped.

[0028] As a result of the above-mentioned configuration, the clothes drying device 1 can provide the following effects.

[0029] The clothes C are hung by the hanger body 10, and a spacer 20 connected to the hanger body 10 is arranged on the inside C1 of the clothes C hung on the hanger body 10, and the clothes C is supported from the inside C1 to maintain the shape of the clothes C.

[0030] Spacer 20 is A rod body 21 is disposed on the inside C1 of the garment C hung on the hanger body 10; A disk-shaped or ring-shaped shape retaining body 22 is provided on the rod body 21, and is circular when viewed from the axial direction of the rod body 21, and at least a part of an outer periphery 22c contacts an inner surface C2 of the garment C to retain the shape of the garment C from the inside C1. Because it is equipped with The shape of the garment C is maintained by its inner surface C2 coming into contact with the outer periphery 22c of the disk-shaped or ring-shaped shape-retaining body 22, and a space S1 through which air can flow is formed on the inside C1 of the garment C by the disk-shaped or ring-shaped shape-retaining body 22.

[0031] Therefore, with this clothes drying tool 1, the clothes C can be dried efficiently. Moreover, since the shape of the clothes C is maintained by the spacer 20, the clothes C are dried without losing their shape significantly.

[0032] That is, according to this clothes drying tool 1, it is possible to obtain the effect that the clothes C can be dried efficiently while maintaining their shape.

[0033] A plurality of disk-shaped or ring-shaped shape retaining bodies 22 (three in the figure) are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the rod body 21.

[0034] With this configuration, the shape of the clothing C can be better maintained by the disk- or ring-shaped shape retaining bodies 22 arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the rod body 21.

[0035] The rod body 21 in this embodiment is configured to be extendable and contractible in the axial direction.

[0036] With this configuration, the length of the rod body 21 or the spacer 20 can be adjusted according to the shape of the clothing C on which the spacer 20 is placed on the inside C1, so that the clothing C can be dried efficiently while maintaining its shape appropriately according to the clothing C.

[0037] For example, as shown in FIG. 1(b), rod body 21(B) to be placed within the torso portion C4 of the garment can be made shorter than rod body 21(A) to be placed within the sleeve portion C3 of the garment, and rod body 21(C) to be placed within the crotch portion C5 of trousers (C) can be made longer as shown in FIG. 1(c).

[0038] As shown in FIG. 1(a), the spacer 20 can be positioned on the inside C1 of the sleeve portion C3 of the garment C, thereby enabling the garment C, particularly the sleeve portion C3, to be dried efficiently while maintaining its shape.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 1(b), the spacer 20 can be disposed within the torso portion C4 of the garment to allow the torso portion C4 to be dried efficiently while maintaining its shape.

[0040] As shown in FIG. 1(c), the spacer 20 can be positioned on the inside C1 of the crotch portion C5 of the pants as the garment C, thereby enabling the pants, particularly the crotch portion C5, to be dried efficiently while maintaining their shape.

[0041] As shown in Figures 4(a) and (b), the spacer 20 can be positioned on the inside C1 of the hood portion C6 of the garment C, thereby allowing the garment C, and particularly the hood portion C6, to be dried efficiently while maintaining its shape. In FIG. 4(b), reference numeral 15 denotes a hook portion of the hanger body 10, which is omitted in FIG. 4(a).

[0042] 3, the spacer 20 can be configured to include a rod body 21 and a spiral shape-retaining body 22 provided on the rod body 21, circular when viewed from the axial direction of the rod body 21, with at least a part of the outer periphery 22c contacting the inner surface C2 of the garment C to retain the shape of the garment C from the inside C1, and disposed along the axial direction of the rod body 21. In other words, the shape-retaining body 22 can be a spiral shape-retaining body.

[0043] Even with this configuration, the above-mentioned effects can be obtained.

[0044] This will be explained in more detail below.

[0045] As the hanger body 10, any suitable known hanger can be used. As the rod 21, a known appropriate rod, for example, a pipe made of synthetic resin or metal, can be used. A known telescopic structure can be used as the extendable rod body 21. For example, a rod antenna type or a tension rod type can also be used. The rod body 21 may have an appropriate thickness depending on the part of the clothing on which it is placed.

[0046] The shape-retaining body 22 can have any suitable structure as long as it has a hole in the center and this hole fits into the rod body with a certain degree of strength (the strength necessary to achieve the object of the present invention). The shape retaining body 22 may be of an appropriate size or oval shape depending on the part of the garment where it is placed.

[0047] In this embodiment, for example, the shape-retaining body 22 shown in Figure 2 has a hole 22h in the center, and the rod body 21 is moved relative to this hole 22h in the direction of arrow X1, and the flexibility of the flexible arms 22a, 22a that form part of the hole 22h is utilized to fit the rod body 21 into the hole 22h. The shape retaining body 22 is made of synthetic resin, and it is desirable to provide a rubber, sponge or the like 22g in the central hole 22h to improve adhesion with the rod body 21, as shown in FIG. 2(c).

[0048] For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the spiral shape-retaining body 22 is desirably made of a synthetic resin sheet that is expandable and contractible along the axial direction of the rod body 21 while maintaining its spiral shape. With this configuration, as shown in Figs. 3(a) and (b), the spiral shape-retaining body 22 can also be expanded and contracted in response to the expansion and contraction of the rod body 21. The disks 22k, 22k at both ends of the spiral body are fixed to the rod body 21. In FIG. 3(c), 22h1 is a hole through which the rod body 21 is inserted.

[0049] The connection structure between the hanger body 10 and the spacer 20 may be any appropriate structure depending on the application.

[0050] For example, in this embodiment, as shown in Figs. 1(a) and (e), the hanger body 10 and the spacer 20 are connected by a connecting member 31 that elastically fits into the frame portion 10f of the hanger body and the rod body 21 of the spacer, respectively.

[0051] Also, for example, as shown in Figures 1(b), (f), and (g), the hanger body 10 and the spacer 20 are connected by connecting members 32 that elastically fit into the frame portion 10f extending laterally of the hanger body and the rod body 21 of the spacer arranged vertically.

[0052] Also, for example, as shown in FIG. 1(c), the hanger body 10 and the spacer 20 are connected by a connecting member 33 that is elastically fitted onto the rod body 21 of the spacer arranged in the vertical direction and hooked onto the hanger body 10 by a hook 33f. In FIG. 1(c), 10p is a pinch that holds the top of the trousers.

[0053] Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the gist of the present invention. for example,

[0054] The shape retaining body 22 can also be constructed with a honeycomb structure. [Explanation of symbols]
