Abstract

To provide a product preventing hangers from being moved by somewhat strong wind when drying washing hung on a plurality of hangers hung on a laundry pole outdoors in order to prevent the hangers from being pushed by a somewhat strong wind to one side of the laundry pole and coming close to each other and causing the washing to be hardly dried.SOLUTION: A hanger hooked on a hanger hole 5 can be prevented from being moved by somewhat strong wind by determining size of a body hook part 1 according to diameter of a laundry pole distributed, and pressing and fixing a laundry pole 6 assumed by providing the hanger hole 5, a fixing hinge 3 for fixing on the laundry pole, and a coil spring 4 for activating the fixing hinge on a body suspending part 2 extending downward from a lower part of the hook part 1 in a state of being hooked on the laundry pole.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

[Technical field]

[0001] To provide a hanger fixing device for a clothesline pole that prevents a hanger from moving or coming off due to a strong wind when laundry is hung on the hanger and hung on the clothesline pole. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, in order to prevent hangers hung on a clothesline from being moved by the wind, there are methods in which the top of the hanger is fixed by clamping it with a split-tip clothespin, or a hook shape is molded from resin to fit the diameter of the target clothesline pole with a hole at the bottom for hanging the hanger, and when hanging it on the clothesline pole, the elastic plastic hook part is spread apart to hang it on the pole and secure it in place. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] To provide a fixing device for a laundry hanger which prevents a hanger from moving even in a slight wind so as to prevent the hangers from being pushed to one side of a clothesline pole and overlapping each other when a somewhat strong wind hits the pole after a plurality of laundry items are hung on the hangers outdoors on the clothesline pole, resulting in poor drying.

[0004] The present invention assumes that the diameter of the clothesline poles widely available on the market is adjusted exactly to match those poles, but in order to accommodate poles whose diameter size changes midway, such as telescopic clothesline poles, the invention is also capable of accommodating diameters that are approximately 80% smaller than the diameter of the set clothesline pole.

[0005] To provide an air conditioner according to the present invention that can be constantly installed on a clothesline pole even when the pole is installed outdoors, and that enables laundry hung on a hanger to be quickly hung out or taken in. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The present invention assumes that most clothes drying poles are available on the market, and the size of the main hook portion 1 is determined to exactly match the diameter of the pole. When attaching to the assumed clothes drying pole 6, the fixing hinge 3, which is connected via an elastic material such as a coil spring 4, is pushed down in the direction of Figure 2 (A) to hook onto the assumed clothes drying pole 6, and then the fixing hinge 3 is released to fix it in the direction of Figure 3 (C).

[0007] In the present invention, the fixing hinge 3 is fixed to the intended clothesline pole 6 by the action of the coil spring 4, and as shown in Figure 3 (c), as long as the fixing hinge 3 is in contact with the position, it can also accommodate a clothesline pole 7 with a diameter that is about 80% smaller than the intended one, such as a telescopic type.

[0008] In order to enable the device to be permanently attached to the clothesline pole 6 assumed to be installed outdoors, the device is made of a material that is weather-resistant and durable enough to withstand rust and wind and rain. Effect of the Invention

[0009] The present invention is intended to be permanently installed outdoors and is made from a material that is weather-resistant and durable enough to withstand wind and rain, so by installing multiple units of the present invention in advance at any desired position on a clothesline, it becomes possible to quickly hang out laundry. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0010] [Figure 1] FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the present invention installed on a clothesline pole. [Diagram 2] 1 shows how the present invention is attached to a clothesline. [Diagram 3] 1 shows the present invention secured to a clothesline pole. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0011] As shown in Figure 1, the main hook part 1 of the hanger fixture of this embodiment is sized to fit the diameter of an assumed clothesline pole 6, which are widely available on the market. With the assumption that it will be hung on a clothesline pole 6, a main hanging part 2 is manufactured that extends vertically downward from the bottom of the hook part 1. A hanger hole 5 for hanging a hanger is drilled in this part, and a fixing hinge 3 and coil spring 4 are attached to press it down against the assumed clothesline pole 6 and fix it in place.

[0012] As shown in Figure 2, when hanging the hanger fixing device of this embodiment on a clothesline 6, the fixing hinge 3 is pushed down with a finger in the direction of (A) of Figure 2 and then the clothesline 6 is hung on the main hook part 1. However, the positional relationship between the tip of the main hook part 1 and the fixing hinge 3 is adjusted so that the intended clothesline 6 is hung on the main hook part 1 while following a trajectory as shown in Figure 2 (B).

[0013] As shown in FIG. 1, the lower part of the main body hanging part 2 of this embodiment is provided with a hanger hole 5 so that a plastic hanger 8 having a slightly larger hook available in the market can be hung thereon.

[0014] As shown in FIG. 1, the main hook portion 1 of this embodiment has a split tip to minimize the possibility of the clothesline pole 6 moving or falling from its installed position due to wind, thereby increasing the frictional force and allowing the main hook portion 1 to be fixed in place. EXAMPLES

[0015] As shown in FIG. 1, the hanger fixture of the present invention can also be used for a telescopic clothesline pole, and is attached to a part of a clothesline pole 7 having a diameter about 80% smaller than expected. This is a perspective view showing the state in which a plastic hanger 8 is hung on each part. [Industrial Applicability]

[0016] The present invention uses a method of fixing to the assumed clothesline pole 6 with a fixing hinge 3 using a coil spring 4, and since it can accommodate objects up to about 80% smaller than the assumed diameter, it can be attached to items other than a clothesline pole as long as they fit within that size, and can also hang hook-shaped items other than laundry hangers as long as they can fit through the hole in the hanger hole hook 5, and by passing a rope or string through it, it can be used in other ways, such as in place of a clothesline pole.

Claims

1. The clothesline pole hanger fixing device includes a fixing hinge (3) which is pressed and fixed to the assumed clothesline pole (6) by suspending a hook part (1) of the main body of the clothesline pole (6) and opening a hanger hole (5) for hanging a laundry hanger in a main body hanging part (2) extending vertically downward from the lower part of the hook part, and an elastic material for operating the fixing hinge (3).

2. The hanger fixture described in claim 1, characterized in that the hanger fixture can hold down the clothesline pole within the operating range of the fixing hinge (3) made of an elastic material such as a coil spring 4, so that it can be attached to a clothesline pole (7) whose diameter is about 80% smaller than the assumed clothesline pole (6) due to the influence of a telescopic type, etc.
