Description

[Technical field]

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

[0002] Various indoor clothesline pole supports (hereinafter sometimes referred to as clothes hangers) have been proposed to allow people to hang laundry indoors. For example, some clothes hangers have a clothesline arm that is hung from a curtain rail by a mounting fixture, and the clothesline pole is placed on the tip of the clothesline arm. The mounting fixture places an L-shaped hook on the curtain rail, and holds the hook and the clothesline arm with a pair of clamping pieces to hang the clothesline arm from the curtain rail.

[0003] According to this clothes hanger, the tip of the clothes hanging arm on which the clothesline pole is placed can be positioned away from the curtain rail toward the indoor side, so that laundry can be hung on the clothesline pole away from the curtain, and the curtain can be opened and closed without being obstructed by the laundry (see, for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 5420331 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, conventional hanging devices require an L-shaped hook and a pair of clamping pieces as a mounting fixture for hanging the hanging arm on the curtain rail, which increases the number of parts required for the mounting fixture and makes the installation process more difficult, leaving room for improvement in this regard.

[0006] An object of the present invention is to provide a clothes hanger capable of reducing the number of parts required to attach a clothes hanger arm to a curtain rail and facilitating the installation work. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention proposes the following means. (1) The hanging device of the present invention comprises a support frame that contacts an architectural structure such as a window frame, pillar or wall, a hanging arm to which the support frame is connected and which extends to the opposite side of the architectural structure via the curtain rail and contacts the curtain rail from one side in the vertical direction, a clamp that contacts the curtain rail from the other side in the vertical direction, and a mounting member that attaches the hanging arm to the curtain rail by connecting the clamp to the hanging arm, and the support frame is connected so that the connection position relative to the hanging arm can be adjusted.

[0008] According to the above configuration, the clamp is brought into contact with the curtain rail from the other side in the vertical direction, and the clamp is connected to the hanging arm with the mounting member. Therefore, the hanging arm can be attached to the curtain rail with the clamp. This makes it possible to eliminate the pair of clamping pieces required in the conventional technology. Therefore, the number of parts required to attach the hanging arm to the curtain rail can be reduced, and the installation work can be made easier.

[0009] (2) In the above aspect, the clamping bracket may have a bracket body extending along the curtain rail and a protrusion protruding from an end of the bracket body along the side wall of the curtain rail, and the bracket body and the protrusion may be formed in an L-shape.

[0010] According to this configuration, the clamp is provided with a clamp body and a protruding piece. The clamp body extends along the curtain rail. The protruding piece protrudes along the side wall of the curtain rail. Therefore, by bringing the protruding piece into contact with the side wall of the curtain rail, the clamp can be accurately positioned at the installation position. This makes the installation work of the clamp even easier.

[0011] (3) In the above aspect, the mounting member may include a mounting bolt fixed to one of the hanging arm and the clamp and capable of passing through the other of the hanging arm and the clamp, and a mounting nut capable of being screwed onto the mounting bolt protruding from the other of the hanging arm and the clamp.

[0012] According to this configuration, the mounting bolt is fixed to one of the hanging arm and the clamp, and the fixed bolt can be passed through the other of the hanging arm and the clamp. Furthermore, the mounting nut can be screwed to the mounting bolt protruding from the other. This makes it easy to attach the hanging arm to the curtain rail with the mounting member by tightening the mounting nut to the mounting bolt.

[0013] (4) In the above aspect, a connecting member may be provided for connecting the support frame to the hanging arm, and the connecting member may include a connecting nut fixed to the hanging arm and a connecting bolt that is screwed into the connecting nut and can pass through the hanging arm and abut against the support frame.

[0014] According to this configuration, the connecting nut is fixed to the hanging arm, and the connecting bolt is screwed to the connecting nut and tightened, so that the hanging arm can abut against the support frame. Therefore, the hanging arm can be easily fixed to the support frame with the connecting member. Also, by loosening the connecting bolt, the connecting bolt can be separated from the support frame. Therefore, by loosening the connecting bolt, the connection position of the support frame to the hanging arm can be adjusted. This makes it easy to adjust the position of the support frame so that it comes into contact with the building structure.

[0015] (5) In the above aspect, the end of the hanging arm may have a pole hanging portion on which a clothesline pole is placed.

[0016] According to this configuration, by providing a pole hanging section at the tip of the hanging arm, a clothesline pole can be placed on the pole hanging section at the tip. This allows the clothesline pole to be placed away from the curtain rail toward the indoor side. This allows the laundry hung on the clothesline pole to be placed away from the curtain toward the indoor side. This allows the curtains to be opened and closed without being obstructed by the laundry.

[0017] When laundry is hung on the clothesline, the load of the laundry acts downward on the tip of the hanging arm. A support frame is connected to the base end of the hanging arm and extends downward in contact with the building structure. Therefore, the bending moment caused by the load acting on the tip of the hanging arm can be supported by the building structure via the support frame. This makes it possible to reduce the bending moment acting on the curtain rail, thereby preventing the curtain rail from being deformed by the weight of the laundry hung on the tip of the hanging arm.

[0018] Furthermore, the vertical load of the laundry hanging on the clothesline can be supported by the contact resistance between the support frame and the building structure, which prevents the curtain rail from being deformed by the vertical load of the laundry hanging on the tip of the clothesline arm. In this way, deformation of the curtain rail due to bending moment and vertical load caused by laundry hung on the clothesline can be suppressed.

[0019] (6) In the above aspect, the pole hanging portion may have, at the tip of the hanging arm, a first rising piece that is raised from the curtain rail side relative to the clothesline pole, and a second rising piece that is raised from the opposite side of the curtain rail relative to the clothesline pole, and the second rising piece may be formed in a V shape along the clothesline pole.

[0020] According to this configuration, the pole hanging section has a first standing piece and a second standing piece, and the second standing piece stands up from the opposite side of the curtain rail with respect to the clothesline pole. Furthermore, the second standing piece is formed in a V-shape along the clothesline pole. This allows the clothesline pole to be stably supported by the second standing piece when the clothesline pole is placed on the pole hanging section. Effect of the Invention

[0021] According to the present invention, the number of parts required to attach the hanging arm to the curtain rail can be reduced, and the attachment work can be made easier. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0023] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A clothes hanger according to an embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings.

[0024] <Hanging fixture> Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the clothes hanger of the embodiment as seen obliquely from above, and Fig. 2 is a side view of the clothes hanger of the embodiment. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, a clothes hanger 10 is attached to, for example, a pair of curtain rails 1, 2 and used to hang laundry (not shown) in a room 4. The pair of curtain rails 1, 2 are attached to an architectural structure 6 by mounting fixtures (not shown). Examples of the architectural structure 6 include a window frame, a pillar, a wall, etc. near a window. Hereinafter, the pair of curtain rails 1, 2 may be referred to as the first curtain rail 1 and the second curtain rail 2.

[0025] The first curtain rail 1 is disposed horizontally along the architectural structure 6 on the architectural structure 6 side. The second curtain rail 2 is disposed at a distance from the first curtain rail 1 on the opposite side of the architectural structure 6. The second curtain rail 2 is disposed horizontally along the first curtain rail 1. A curtain (not shown) is attached to the first curtain rail 1 and the second curtain rail 2 so that it can be opened and closed freely. An article hanger 10 is fixed to the first curtain rail 1 and the second curtain rail 2. The article hanger 10 protrudes from the second curtain rail 2 to the opposite side of the architectural structure 6 (i.e., the indoors 4 side). The article hanger 10 comprises a support frame 12, an article hanger arm 13, a clamp 14, an attachment member 15, and a connecting member 16.

[0026] <Support frame> FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing the clothes hanger according to the embodiment. As shown in Fig. 3, the support frame 12 includes a support portion 21 and a protrusion 22. The support portion 21 is formed of, for example, a flat plate and is arranged in the vertical direction. The support portion 21 has a flat surface 21a. The flat surface 21a is arranged to face the architectural structure 6 and is a surface that can come into contact with the architectural structure 6. The protrusion 22 is provided on the upper end of the support portion 21. In the embodiment, an example in which the support portion 21 is formed of a flat plate will be described. However, as another example, the support portion 21 may be formed of, for example, a rectangular column.

[0027] The protruding portion 22 protrudes from the upper end of the support portion 21 toward the room 4. More specifically, the protruding portion 22 protrudes horizontally toward the room 4, intersecting (orthogonal in the embodiment) the pair of curtain rails 1, 2. The protruding portion 22 is formed, for example, in a rectangular cross section. The protruding portion 22 is connected to the hanging arm 13.

[0028] <Storage arm> The article hanging arm 13 comprises a mounting body 24 and an arm body 25. The mounting body 24 is fixed to the pair of curtain rails 1, 2 from below (either the top or bottom direction). The mounting body 24 is formed in a hollow frame with a rectangular cross section into which the protruding portion 22 can be inserted. The upper surface portion 24a of the mounting body 24 is in contact with the bottom surface portions of the first curtain rail 1 and the second curtain rail 2. The mounting body 24 is disposed horizontally, perpendicular to the first curtain rail 1 and the second curtain rail 2.

[0029] One end 24b of the mounting body 24 protrudes slightly from the first curtain rail 1 towards the architectural structure 6. The other end 24c of the mounting body 24 protrudes slightly from the second curtain rail 2 to the opposite side of the architectural structure 6. The protruding part 22 is inserted into the mounting body 24 from one end 24b of the mounting body 24. The protruding part 22 is arranged inside the mounting body 24 so as to be freely movable in the longitudinal direction of the mounting body 24.

[0030] An arm body 25 is provided at the other end 24c of the mounting body 24. The arm body 25 is formed, for example, with an inverted U-shaped cross section by an upper surface portion 25a and a pair of side surfaces 25b, 25b. The inverted U-shaped cross section of the arm body 25 ensures rigidity. The arm body 25 is fixed to the other end 24c of the mounting body 24 with the base end portion 25c inserted into the inside of the mounting body 24 from the other end 24c. The arm body 25 extends from the other end 24c along the longitudinal direction of the mounting body 24 to the opposite side of the architectural structure 6.

[0031] As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the arm body 25 has a pole hanging portion 27 at the tip 25d. A clothesline pole 30 is placed on the pole hanging portion 27. The pole hanging portion 27 has, for example, a first standing piece 28 and a second standing piece 29 at the tip 25d of the arm body 25. The first standing piece 28 is raised from the second curtain rail 2 side with respect to the clothesline pole 30. The first standing piece 28 is disposed so as to incline along the clothesline pole 30 toward the second curtain rail 2 side.

[0032] The second standing piece 29 stands up from the opposite side of the second curtain rail 2 with respect to the clothesline pole 30. The second standing piece 29 has a lower half 29a and an upper half 29b. The lower half 29a is disposed so as to incline along the clothesline pole 30 toward the opposite side of the second curtain rail 2. The upper half 29b is disposed so as to incline along the clothesline pole 30 from the upper end of the lower half 29a toward the second curtain rail 2 side. That is, the second standing piece 29 has a lower half 29a and an upper half 29b formed in a V-shape (dog-like shape) along the clothesline pole 30. The clothesline pole 30 is placed between the first standing piece 28 and the second standing piece 29, and is held in a predetermined position by the first standing piece 28 and the second standing piece 29.

[0033] <Pressing bracket> Returning to Fig. 3, the clamping metal fitting 14 is arranged so as to contact the upper surface (top face) of the first curtain rail 1 and the upper surface (top face) of the second curtain rail 2 from above (the other side in the up-down direction). The clamping metal fitting 14 has a metal fitting main body 31 and a protruding piece 32. The metal fitting main body 31 is arranged perpendicular to the first curtain rail 1 and the second curtain rail 2. The metal fitting main body 31 extends horizontally along the upper surface of the first curtain rail 1 and the upper surface of the second curtain rail 2. The metal fitting main body 31 is arranged above and along the mounting main body 24.

[0034] A protrusion 32 is provided on end 31a of metal fitting body 31 on the architectural structure 6 side. Protrusion 32 protrudes downward from end 31a of metal fitting body 31 along side wall 1a of first curtain rail 1. Clamping metal fitting 14 is formed into an L-shape by metal fitting body 31 and protrusion. Clamping metal fitting 14 is attached to first curtain rail 1 and second curtain rail 2 by mounting member 15, which will be described later.

[0035] <Mounting parts> The mounting member 15 includes a mounting bolt 35 and a mounting nut 36. The mounting bolt 35 protrudes upward from the lower surface 24d of the mounting body 24 through a through hole 38, the inside of the mounting body 24, and a through hole 39 in the upper surface 24a. The mounting bolt 35 has a head 35a fixed to the lower surface 24d of the mounting body 24. The head 35a is fixed to the lower surface 24d by welding, for example. The mounting bolt 35 protrudes upward from the upper surface 24a of the mounting body 24, and extends between the first curtain rail 1 and the second curtain rail 2 so as to be able to penetrate from below into a through hole 41 in the metal fitting body 31.

[0036] That is, the mounting bolt 35 passes through the through-hole 41 in the metal fitting body 31 and protrudes above the metal fitting body 31. A mounting nut 36 is provided on the mounting bolt 35 protruding from the metal fitting body 31 so as to be capable of being screwed together. The mounting nut 36 is provided with a mounting knob 37. Therefore, the mounting nut 36 can be manually rotated by grasping the mounting knob 37 with one hand.

[0037] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the mounting knob 37 can be grasped by hand and the mounting nut 36 can be tightened. By tightening the mounting nut 36, the presser bracket 14 is connected (fixed) to the mounting body 24 via the first curtain rail 1 and the second curtain rail 2. Thus, the first curtain rail 1 and the second curtain rail 2 are clamped between the presser bracket 14 and the mounting body 24. In this way, the mounting body 24 (i.e., the article hanging arm 13) is attached to the first curtain rail 1 and the second curtain rail 2.

[0038] In this state, the hanging arm 13 is in contact from below with the lower surface of the first curtain rail 1 and the lower surface of the second curtain rail 2. Furthermore, the hanging arm 13 extends to the opposite side of the architectural structure 6 via the first curtain rail 1 and the second curtain rail 2. In addition, a protrusion 22 (i.e., the support frame 12) is connected to the hanging arm 13.

[0039] <Connecting parts> 3, the connecting member 16 is provided on the lower surface 24d of the mounting body 24. The connecting member 16 includes a connecting nut 45 and a connecting bolt 46. The connecting nut 45 is fixed to the lower surface 24d of the mounting body 24 by, for example, welding. A through hole 49 is formed in the lower surface 24d of the mounting body 24 at a position corresponding to the screw hole of the connecting nut 45. A connecting bolt 46 is screwed into the connecting nut 45 from below. A fixing knob 47 is provided on the head of the connecting bolt 46. Therefore, by gripping the fixing knob 47 with one's hand, the connecting bolt 46 can be manually rotated in the directions of arrows A and B. The direction of arrow A is the direction in which the connecting bolt 46 is tightened. The direction of arrow B is the direction in which the connecting bolt 46 is loosened.

[0040] The connecting bolt 46 passes through a through hole 49 provided in the lower surface 24d of the mounting body 24 and can come into contact with the lower surface 22a of the protrusion 22. The connecting bolt 46 can come into contact with the lower surface 22a of the protrusion 22 by being rotated in the direction of arrow A by a fixing knob 47. That is, the connecting bolt 46 can be pressed against the lower surface 22a of the protrusion 22. By pressing the connecting bolt 46 against the lower surface 22a of the protrusion 22, the protrusion 22 can be fixed to the mounting body 24. As a result, the support frame 12 is connected to the mounting body 24.

[0041] On the other hand, the connecting bolt 46 can be moved away from the lower surface 22a of the protrusion 22 by rotating the fixing knob 47 in the direction of arrow B. By moving the connecting bolt 46 away from the lower surface 22a of the protrusion 22, the protrusion 22 can be moved in the longitudinal direction along the mounting body 24. In other words, the support frame 12 is connected to the mounting body 24 so that the connection position with respect to the hanging arm 13 can be adjusted.

[0042] <How to install the hanging fixture> Next, the procedure for attaching the hanging device 10 to the first curtain rail 1 and the second curtain rail 2 will be described with reference to Figs. FIG. 4 is a perspective view illustrating an example in which the pressing fittings are placed on the first curtain rail and the second curtain rail. 4, the metal fitting body 31 of the pressing metal fitting 14 is placed on the upper surface of the first curtain rail 1 and the upper surface of the second curtain rail 2 as indicated by the arrow C. The metal fitting body 31 is disposed so as to be perpendicular to the first curtain rail 1 and the second curtain rail 2.

[0043] FIG. 5 is a perspective view for explaining an example in which the hanging arms are disposed on the first curtain rail and the second curtain rail. As shown in Figure 5, the protrusion 22 of the support frame 12 is inserted into the mounting body 24 of the hanging arm 13, and the support frame 12 is temporarily fixed to the mounting body 24 with a connecting bolt 46 (see Figure 3). In this state, the mounting bolt 35 is passed between the first curtain rail 1 and the second curtain rail 2, and is inserted into the through hole 41 of the metal fitting body 31 as shown by arrow D.

[0044] At this time, the mounting bolt 35 is inserted into the through hole 41 of the metal fitting body 31, and the mounting body 24 of the hanging arm 13 is placed in contact with the underside of the first curtain rail 1 and the underside of the second curtain rail 2. In this state, the mounting bolt 35 passes through the through hole 41 of the metal fitting body 31 and protrudes above the metal fitting body 31.

[0045] FIG. 6 is a perspective view for explaining an example of attaching the hanging arm to the first curtain rail and the second curtain rail. As shown in Fig. 6, the mounting nut 36 is screwed onto the mounting bolt 35 protruding from the metal fitting main body 31 as indicated by the mounting arrow D. With the mounting nut 36 screwed onto the mounting bolt 35, the mounting knob 37 is grasped by hand and the mounting nut 36 is tightened with the mounting knob 37. This completes the mounting of the mounting main body 24 (i.e., the hanging arm 13) to the first curtain rail 1 and the second curtain rail 2.

[0046] FIG. 7 is a perspective view illustrating an example of adjusting the support frame so as to contact the architectural structure. 7, the fixing knob 47 of the connecting bolt 46 is grasped by hand, and the connecting bolt 46 is loosened with the fixing knob 47 as indicated by arrow B. The connecting bolt 46 is loosened to separate the connecting bolt 46 from the protruding portion 22 of the support frame 12. The support frame 12 is moved as indicated by arrow E. In other words, the position of the support frame 12 is adjusted so that the support portion 21 of the support frame 12 comes into contact with the architectural structure 6.

[0047] With the support portion 21 of the support frame 12 in contact with the architectural structure 6, the connecting bolt 46 is tightened with the fixing knob 47 as shown by arrow A to press it against the protruding portion 22. As a result, with the support portion 21 of the support frame 12 in contact with the architectural structure 6, the support frame 12 is fixed to the mounting body 24 of the hanging arm 13. 4 to 7, the work of attaching the article hanger 10 to the first curtain rail 1 and the second curtain rail 2 is completed. In this manner, the article hanger 10 can be attached to the first curtain rail 1 and the second curtain rail 2. This allows the article hanger 10 to be attached without drilling mounting holes in the architectural structure 6 for attaching the article hanger 10.

[0048] As described above, according to the embodiment of the clothing hanger 10, as shown in Fig. 3, the metal fitting body 31 of the clamping metal fitting 14 is brought into contact with the first curtain rail 1 and the second curtain rail 2 from above. Furthermore, the clamping metal fitting 14 is connected to the mounting body 24 of the clothing hanging arm 13 with the mounting member 15. Therefore, the clothing hanging arm 13 can be attached to the first curtain rail 1 and the second curtain rail 2 with the clamping metal fitting 14. This eliminates the need for a pair of clamping pieces, which was necessary in the prior art, and therefore reduces the number of parts required to attach the hanging arm 13 to the first curtain rail 1, making the installation process easier.

[0049] Furthermore, the clamp 14 is provided with a clamp body 31 and a protruding piece 32. The clamp body 31 extends along the upper surface of the first curtain rail 1 and the upper surface of the second curtain rail 2. Furthermore, the protruding piece 32 protrudes downward along the side wall 1a of the first curtain rail 1. Therefore, by bringing the protruding piece 32 into contact with the side wall 1a of the first curtain rail 1, the clamp 14 can be accurately positioned in the installation position. This makes the installation work of the clamp 14 even easier.

[0050] Furthermore, the mounting bolt 35 of the mounting member 15 is fixed to the mounting body 24 of the hanging arm 13. The fixed mounting bolt 35 can be inserted into the metal fitting body 31 of the holding metal fitting 14 from below. Furthermore, the mounting nut 36 can be screwed to the mounting bolt 35 protruding from the metal fitting body 31. This makes it possible to easily attach the mounting body 24 of the hanging arm 13 to the first curtain rail 1 and the second curtain rail 2 by screwing the mounting nut 36 onto the mounting bolt 35 and tightening it.

[0051] In addition, by fixing the connecting nut 45 to the mounting body 24 of the hanging arm 13 and tightening the connecting bolt 46 to the connecting nut 45 by screwing, it is possible to abut (press) against the protrusion 22 of the support frame. Therefore, the hanging arm 13 can be easily fixed to the support frame 12 with the connecting bolt 46. Furthermore, by loosening the connecting bolt 46, the connecting bolt 46 can be moved away from the protruding portion 22 of the support frame 12. Therefore, by loosening the connecting bolt 46, the connection position of the support frame 12 (specifically, the protruding portion 22) to the mounting body 24 of the hanging arm 13 can be adjusted. This makes it possible to easily adjust the position of the support frame 12 so that the support portion 21 of the support frame 12 comes into contact with the architectural structure 6.

[0052] 2, the hanging arm 13 (specifically, the arm body 25) has a pole hanging part 27 at the tip 25d. Therefore, for example, by attaching a pair of hanging devices 10 to the pair of curtain rails 1, 2 at an interval in the longitudinal direction of the first curtain rail 1 and the second curtain rail 2, a clothesline pole 30 can be placed on the pole hanging part 27. This allows the clothesline pole 30 to be positioned away from the second curtain rail 2 toward the room 4. Therefore, the laundry (not shown) hung on the clothesline pole 30 can be positioned away from the second curtain rail 2 toward the room 4. As a result, the curtain (not shown) can be opened and closed without being obstructed by the laundry.

[0053] Furthermore, when laundry is hung on the clothesline pole 30, the load of the laundry acts downward on the tip 25d of the arm body 25. Here, the support frame 12 is connected to the mounting body 24 of the hanging arm 13 (i.e., the base end of the hanging arm 13), and the support part 21 of the support frame 12 extends downward while in contact with the architectural structure 6. Therefore, the bending moment caused by the load acting on the tip 25d of the arm body 25 can be supported by the architectural structure 6 via the support part 21 of the support frame 12. This makes it possible to reduce the bending moment acting on the first curtain rail 1 and the second curtain rail 2. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the first curtain rail 1 and the second curtain rail 2 from being deformed by the load of laundry hung out to dry on the tip portion 25d of the arm body 25.

[0054] Furthermore, the vertical load of the laundry hung on the clothesline pole 30 can be supported by the contact resistance between the support part 21 of the support frame 12 and the architectural structure 6. This makes it possible to prevent the first curtain rail 1 and the second curtain rail 2 from being deformed by the vertical load of the laundry hung on the tip part 25d of the arm body 25. In this way, deformation of the first curtain rail 1 and the second curtain rail 2 due to bending moment or vertical load caused by laundry hung on the clothesline pole 30 can be suppressed.

[0055] Moreover, the pole hanging section 27 has a first rising piece 28 and a second rising piece 29, and the second rising piece 29 stands up from the opposite side of the second curtain rail 2 with respect to the clothesline pole 30. Furthermore, the second rising piece 29 is formed in a V-shape along the clothesline pole 30. This allows the clothesline pole 30 to be held between the first rising piece 28 and the second rising piece 29 when the clothesline pole 30 is placed on the pole hanging section 27. In particular, by forming the second rising piece 29 into a V-shape along the clothesline pole 30, the clothesline pole 30 can be stably supported by the second rising piece 29.

[0056] (Modification) A modified example of the rod holder 27 in the embodiment will be described below with reference to Fig. 8. In the modified example, the same or similar members as those in the embodiment will be denoted by the same reference numerals and detailed description will be omitted. FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing a pole holder in a modified example of the embodiment. 8, the arm body 25 has a rod hanging portion 50 at the tip end 25d. The rod hanging portion 50 has, for example, a first rising piece 51 and a second rising piece 52 at the tip end 25d of the arm body 25.

[0057] The first standing piece 51 is formed in the same manner as the first standing piece 28 in the embodiment. That is, the first standing piece 51 is raised toward the second curtain rail 2 side with respect to the clothesline pole 30. The first standing piece 51 is arranged so as to be inclined along the clothesline pole 30 toward the second curtain rail 2 side. The second standing piece 52 is formed in the same manner as the lower half 29a of the second standing piece 29 in the embodiment. That is, the second standing piece 52 is raised from the opposite side of the second curtain rail 2 with respect to the clothesline pole 30. The second standing piece 52 is arranged so as to be inclined along the clothesline pole 30 toward the opposite side of the second curtain rail 2. That is, the first standing piece 51 and the second standing piece 52 are raised so that the interval between them widens upward. The clothesline pole 30 is placed between the first standing piece 51 and the second standing piece 52, and is held in a predetermined position by the first standing piece 51 and the second standing piece 52.

[0058] Here, in the rod hanging part 50 of the modified example, the distance between the first standing piece 51 and the second standing piece 52 is expanded upward. As a result, according to the rod hanging part 50, the clothesline rod 30 can be more easily placed between the first standing piece 51 and the second standing piece 52 than in the rod hanging part 27 of the embodiment.

[0059] The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, in the above embodiment, the clamp 14 is disposed above the pair of curtain rails 1, 2, and the hanging arm 13 is disposed below the pair of curtain rails 1, 2. However, this is not limited to this. As another example, the clamp 14 may be disposed below, and the hanging arm 13 may be disposed above.

[0060] In the above embodiment, the mounting bolt 35 is fixed to the mounting body 24 of the hanging arm 13, but the present invention is not limited to this. As another example, the mounting bolt 35 may be fixed to the clamp 14.

[0061] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the connecting nut 45 is fixed to the lower surface portion 24d of the mounting body 24, but this is not limiting. As another example, the connecting nut 45 may be fixed to the side wall of the mounting body 24.

[0062] In addition, within the scope of the invention, the components in the above-described embodiments may be replaced with well-known components, and the above-described modified examples may be combined as appropriate. [Explanation of symbols]
