Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a clothes drying device formed by a single pole that is folded back continuously at regular intervals. [Background technology]
[0002] Conventionally, there has been a clothes drying device that can be hung in a space-saving area such as a balcony to hang bath towels and the like (see Patent Document 1). There is also a clothes drying device equipped with a U-shaped pole on which bath towels can be hung compactly (see Patent Document 2). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2003-111997 A [Patent Document 2] Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 05-051292 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] This caused the following problems: (i) It is removable and space-saving, but if you hang a sheet over it, you have to fold it up before you can hang it out to dry. (b) Although it is U-shaped, it cannot be used to hang long laundry because it stands on the floor. The present invention has been made to solve these problems. [Means for solving the problem]
[0005] The drying section (1) is formed by one pole that is folded back continuously at a fixed interval, and hooks (2) for hanging on a clothesline are provided on both ends of the drying section (1), and a plurality of hooks (3) for hanging hangers are provided at equal intervals under the drying section (1). This is a clothes drying tool having the above features. Effect of the Invention
[0006] You can dry multiple large towels or sheets by spreading them out along the pole without having to fold them. [Brief description of the drawings]
[0007] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the present invention. [Diagram 2] FIG. 2 is a partially cut away side view of the present invention. [Diagram 3] FIG. 1 is a cutaway perspective view of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0008] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. The drying section (1) is formed by a single pole that is folded back continuously at regular intervals. The folded back parts are bent into a U-shape, allowing for smooth drying of large laundry items such as sheets and bath towels. A hook (2) for hanging on a clothesline is provided on each end of the drying section (1). A plurality of hooks (3) for hanging hangers are provided at equal intervals under the drying section (1). The present invention has the above-mentioned configuration. When using the present invention, the hook (2) is attached to the clothesline pole. Bath towels should be folded in half lengthwise and hung on one or two poles with the folds. Sheets and duvet covers should also be folded in half lengthwise and hung on one pole with the folds, then slid in an S shape to dry taut without any sagging. A hanger with clothes on it is hung on the hook (3) and is firmly fixed in place so there is no risk of it flying away in the wind. The drying section (1) may be foldable so that it can be stored compactly. The hook (2) may be adjustable in length and angle. A hook (2) may be provided in the center of the drying section (1) for reinforcement. With conventional clotheslines, sheets, bath towels, etc. take up space, making it impossible to dry other items, but with this clothesline you can dry multiple items at once in a space-saving manner, which has the advantage of allowing you to use the freed up space to dry other laundry.
