Pipe locking / fixing device and clothespin fitting tool

Abstract

To provide a device capable of locking and fixing a square pipe or a round pipe by enabling the device to be easily moved on the square pipe or the round pipe and firmly and steplessly locked and fixed without using a screw or adhesion.SOLUTION: A locking / fixing device is molded by bending elastic resin or spring steel so that a plate surface becomes V shape at angle of several tens of degrees. The device has vertically long rectangular or elliptical hole at a center of each plate surface of the V shape so as to allow the square pipe or the round pipe continuously penetrate therethrough. Narrowing the angle of the V shape by some degrees by pinching upper parts of the device with a finger causes gaps between the hole and the pipe on upper side and lower side thereof and allows the device to be smoothly moved on the pipe. When the finger is released, the angle of the V shape is enlarged and the gaps between the hole and the pipe on upper side and lower side thereof are eliminated, therefore, the device can be steplessly locked and fixed by gripping the pipe. A clothespin fitting tool has a hook receiver, on which a clothespin is hooked, at a lower part of a fixed device. The clothespin fitting tool allows spaces between laundries to be easily adjusted so that the laundries are easily dried.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The fastening and fixing device for square or round pipes of the present invention is made of elastic resin or spring steel, and the plate surfaces are bent into a V shape at an angle of several tens of degrees. Each plate has a rectangular or oval hole that is longer than the V and runs through it continuously in the center, and the square or round pipe passes through it continuously. By changing the angle between the plate surfaces, the presence or absence of gaps above and below the rectangular or oval hole and the pipe allows the device to move smoothly over the square or round pipe, and to fasten and fix it to the square or round pipe in a stepless manner.

[0002] The clothespin attachment device of the present invention, which has a hook receiver for attaching clothespins at the bottom of the locking and fixing device, allows for stepless movement, locking, and fixing on square or round pipes, making it easy to adjust the gap between laundry items on the square hanger. [Background technology]

[0003] There was no locking and fixing device that could be easily moved on a square pipe or a round pipe and could be firmly and steplessly locked and fixed without using screws or adhesives. In most conventional square hangers made of square or round pipes, the clothespin attachments and attachment parts are fixed, making it difficult to easily adjust the spacing between the clothespins to make it easier for laundry to dry. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] To provide a locking and fixing device which can be easily moved on a square pipe or a round pipe and can be firmly locked and fixed in a stepless manner, and a square hanger which can be attached with a plurality of clothes pegs and is made of a square pipe or a round pipe or a resin molding, and which can lock and fix clothes peg attachments and attachment parts in a stepless manner, which are hardly available. [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2013-3032640 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] To provide a locking and fixing device for a square pipe or a round pipe, which can be easily moved on the square pipe or the round pipe without using screws or adhesive, and can be firmly locked and fixed in a stepless manner.

[0006] To provide a clothespin attachment which can be moved, engaged and fixed steplessly on a square pipe or a round pipe and can easily adjust the gap between laundry on a square hanger. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The retaining and fixing device for square or round pipes of the present invention is made from elastic resin or spring steel, and the plate surfaces are bent into a V shape at an angle of several tens of degrees. Each plate has a rectangular or oval hole that is long vertically in relation to the V, through which the square or round pipe passes continuously. By pinching the top of the V with your fingers and closing it several times, gaps are created above and below the vertical rectangular or oval hole and the pipe, allowing the device to move smoothly over the square or round pipe. When your fingers are released, the angle of the V expands, eliminating the gaps above and below between the vertical rectangular or oval hole and the pipe, and by tightening the square or round pipe, it is possible to retain and fix the square or round pipe in a stepless manner.

[0008] In a square hanger that can accommodate multiple clothes pegs and is made entirely or partially of square or round pipes, the clothes peg attachment device of the present invention has a structure that has a hook receiver for attaching clothes pegs at the bottom of the square or round pipe locking / fixing device, and by pinching the upper V-shaped part of the square or round pipe locking / fixing device with your fingers and closing it several times, gaps are created above and below between the vertically long rectangular or oval hole and the pipe, allowing it to move smoothly along the square or round pipe, and when you release your fingers, the angle of the V widens, eliminating the gaps above and below between the vertically long rectangular or oval hole and the pipe, and by tightening the square or round pipe, it can be locked and fixed on the square or round pipe in a stepless manner, making it easy to adjust the gap between the laundry. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] The locking and fixing device for square or round pipes of the present invention can be moved smoothly over the square or round pipe by pinching it with your fingers and closing the V-shaped angle by a few degrees, and when you release your fingers, the V-shaped angle widens and the square or round pipe is tightened, allowing it to be locked and fixed onto the square or round pipe in a stepless manner.

[0010] The clothespin attachment of the present invention can be moved smoothly over a square or round pipe by pinching it with your fingers and closing the V-shaped angle by a few degrees, and when you release your fingers the V-shaped angle widens, and by tightening the square or round pipe, the clothespin spacing can be locked and fixed in place in a stepless manner, making it easy to adjust the spacing, such as to create more space for laundry that is difficult to dry.

[0013] The retaining and fixing device for square or round pipes of the present invention is made of elastic resin or spring steel, and the plate surfaces are bent into a V shape at an angle of several tens of degrees. Each plate has a vertically long rectangular or oval hole in the center of the V, through which the square or round pipe passes continuously. By pinching the upper part of the V with your fingers and closing it several times, gaps are created above and below the vertically long rectangular or oval hole and the pipe, allowing the device to move smoothly over the square or round pipe. When your fingers are released, the angle of the V widens, eliminating the gaps above and below between the vertically long rectangular or oval hole and the pipe, and by tightening the square or round pipe, it is possible to retain and fix the square or round pipe in a stepless manner.

[0014] In a square hanger that can accommodate multiple clothes pegs and is made entirely or partially of square or round pipes, the clothes peg attachment device of the present invention has a hook receiver for attaching clothes pegs to the bottom of the square or round pipe locking / fixing device. When the upper V-shaped part of the square or round pipe locking / fixing device is pinched with the fingers and closed several times, gaps are created above and below between the vertically long rectangular or oval hole and the pipe, allowing it to move smoothly along the square or round pipe. When the fingers are released, the angle of the V-shape widens, eliminating the gaps above and below between the vertically long rectangular or oval hole and the pipe, and by tightening the square or round pipe, it is possible to lock and fix it on the square or round pipe in a stepless manner, making it easy to adjust the gap between the laundry.
