Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] With this invention, when drying laundry, the hanger can be placed over the laundry at the neck to easily dry it, and when taking it in, the outer tube B can be quickly removed by lowering it [Fig. 3].
[0002] With conventional products, when drying laundry, you would insert the hanger from the bottom of the laundry, but this was time-consuming and laborious because the shoulder part of the hanger would inevitably come out from the neck area. Summary of the Invention
[0003] I thought about whether there was any way to hang the laundry out to dry quickly, and rather than getting frustrated when hanging it out, I thought this would be a good way to hang the laundry out to dry quickly because it would be easy to do and I could hang it out to dry quickly.
[0004] While there are existing portable products that can be folded upwards by 60 degrees, this product is designed to be folded downwards for drying laundry.
[0005] This product is hung on a clothesline pole [Fig. 3], and when outer tube B is slid downwards, a gear is attached inside, which causes the hanger to fold in half from the center downwards and be placed around the neck of the laundry [Fig. 3]. Then, when outer tube B is slid upwards [Fig. 3], the hanger spreads out to the right and left [Fig. 2]. It is caught and fixed by the stopper on middle tube A, and is pressed down from below by C on outer tube B. At the same time, gear D comes down along the groove to secure the horizontal support rod and allow the laundry to dry. To take in the laundry, [Fig. 3] press the hold-down lever on outer tube B to remove the stopper, and then lower outer tube B downwards. The hangers on the right and left will fold and shrink, allowing you to lower the laundry and take it in. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

Claims
[Claim 1] When hanging out laundry, you put the hanger in from under the bottom of the garment, but the edge of the hanger sticks out from the neck and it doesn't go in straight away, so I wondered if there was a better way to do this.With this, you put the hanger in from above at the neck of the garment when it is closed, and when you slide the outer tube B up [Fig. 3], the hanger opens in the same way and catches on the stopper of the inner tube A [Fig. 2], allowing you to hang out the laundry.
