Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a drying tool, and more particularly to a drying tool that can be used by hanging it on an indoor opening door.

Background Art

[0002] In recent years, the number of people suffering from allergic symptoms due to the scattering of pollen, yellow sand, etc. has been increasing. Since allergic symptoms such as pollen and yellow sand are caused by inhaling pollen, yellow sand, etc. contained in the atmosphere, when drying laundry, indoor drying, which dries the laundry indoors where there is less adhesion of pollen, yellow sand, etc. by avoiding the outdoors where pollen, yellow sand, etc. easily adhere, is increasing.

[0003] By the way, indoor drying, in which ropes or drying poles are stretched indoors and the laundry is dried on the stretched ropes or drying poles, has been known for a long time. However, in recent houses, there are often no places to stretch ropes or drying poles. Therefore, self-standing drying stands are often used indoors (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[0004] However, since a self-standing drying stand requires securing a space for installing the drying stand indoors, it has been difficult to install it in a narrow room. In addition, a self-standing drying stand may lose its balance due to contact with people, pets, etc. and may fall over.

[0005] In addition, many of this type of drying stand are in an assembled form, but many of them have a large number of parts and require tools such as screws and drivers for assembly. Therefore, there is a problem that assembly is not easy and it takes time to complete. In particular, it was difficult for the elderly to assemble.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0007] In view of such problems, the present invention has been made, and its object is to provide a drying tool that is easy to assemble, can be installed even in a narrow room, has no risk of falling due to contact, etc., and can dry laundry with confidence.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0008] To achieve the above object, the drying tool according to the present invention includes a pair of hanging parts detachably attached to the upper end of an opening door, a pair of vertical frame members extending downward from each of the pair of hanging parts, and a pair of pivoting members disposed inside the pair of vertical frame members, one end of which is connected to the vertical frame member and the other end of which is pivotally arranged about the one end. The pair of pivoting members are rotatable between a storage position with the tip facing upward and along the vertical frame member and a deployed position with the tip pulled out to a position substantially orthogonal to the vertical frame member, and a plurality of cross members are spanned between the pair of pivoting members.

[0009] According to this drying tool, by attaching the hanging part to the upper end of the opening door and pulling out the pivoting member to the deployed position, a plurality of cross members spanned on the pivoting member are arranged side by side in a substantially horizontal direction, so that the user can dry the laundry directly on the cross member as a laundry dryer or via an auxiliary tool such as a hanger. Therefore, according to the present invention, the laundry can be dried using the empty space in front of the opening door. In addition, due to the structure of being attached to the upper end of the opening door via the hanging part, there is no risk of the drying tool falling even if a person touches it. Further, by making the pivoting member foldable, it can be sold in a compact state with the pivoting member folded, and the complicated assembly work after purchase can be omitted.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the following configuration is adopted for the drying tool according to the present invention. (1) A plurality of the pair of the above-mentioned vertical frame members are provided with a plurality of the pair of the above-mentioned swivel members at intervals in the vertical direction. According to this invention, since a plurality of laundry drying members are arranged in the vertical direction, more laundry can be dried, and the space in front of the opening door can be effectively utilized.

[0011] (2) At least one of the pair of the above-mentioned vertical frame members has a connection auxiliary mechanism with one end attached to the above-mentioned vertical frame member and the other end attached to the above-mentioned swivel member on at least one of the above-mentioned swivel members, and the above-mentioned swivel member is structured to hold the above-mentioned deployment position by this connection auxiliary mechanism. According to this invention, since the swivel member pulled out to the deployment position is held at the deployment position by the connection auxiliary mechanism, the possibility that the deployment position cannot be held due to the weight of the laundry is eliminated. Therefore, a large amount of laundry can be dried without worrying about the amount and weight of the laundry.

[0012] (3) The above-mentioned cross member is detachably attached to the pair of the above-mentioned swivel members. According to this invention, the distance between the cross members can be adjusted by attaching and detaching the cross member. Therefore, it is possible to avoid interference between the laundry dried on the adjacent cross members, and the laundry can be efficiently dried.

[0013] (4) At least one of the pair of the above-mentioned swivel members is provided with an engaging tool that detachably engages with the above-mentioned vertical frame member at the above-mentioned storage position to hold the above-mentioned storage position. According to this invention, by arranging the swivel member at the storage position, the engaging tool engages with the vertical frame member and the swivel member is held at the storage position. Therefore, there is no risk that the swivel member in the storage position is accidentally deployed, and the carrying and storage of the drying tool become easy.

[0014] (5) The above-mentioned hanging part is composed of a hook-shaped member that is detachably attached to the upper end of the above-mentioned opening door. According to this invention, the drying tool can be easily attached to and removed from the opening door by hanging and removing the hook-shaped member.

[0015] (6) The pair of vertical frame members has one or more reinforcing members detachably spanned between the pair of vertical frame members. According to this invention, since the positional relationship of the vertical frame members is reinforced by the reinforcing members, it is possible to prevent the vertical frame members from being distorted or displaced due to the weight of the laundry, and it is possible to stably dry a large amount of laundry.

[0016] (7) The cross-member and the reinforcing member are constituted by telescopic members. Thereby, for example, the width of the drying tool can be adjusted according to the width dimension of the opening door, and the limited space in front of the opening door can be effectively utilized.

Effect of the Invention

[0017] According to the present invention, a pair of hanging parts detachably attached to the upper end of the opening door, a pair of vertical frame members extending downward from each of the pair of hanging parts, and disposed inside the pair of vertical frame members, one end is rotatably connected to the vertical frame member, and a pair of pivoting members provided so that the other end is rotatable about the one end. The pair of pivoting members is rotatable between a storage position where the tip is upward and along the vertical frame member, and a deployed position where the tip is pulled out to a position substantially orthogonal to the vertical frame member, and a plurality of cross-members are spanned between the pair of pivoting members. Therefore, it is possible to dry the laundry using the empty space in front of the opening door. In addition, due to the structure of being attached to the upper end of the opening door via the hanging part, it is possible to provide a drying tool that is not likely to fall due to contact. In addition, by making the pivoting member foldable, it can be sold in a compact state with the pivoting member folded, and the complicated assembly work after purchase can be omitted. Therefore, it is possible to provide a drying tool that is easy to use even for the elderly.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0019] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Embodiment 1 FIG. 1 shows the external configuration of the drying tool according to the present invention. The drying tool 1 shown in FIG. 1 is a drying tool that is attached to and used on an indoor opening door D (not shown), and includes a pair of hanging parts 2, 2, a pair of vertical frame members 3, 3, a pair of turning members 4, 4, and a plurality of horizontal members 5, 5,... as main parts.

[0020] The hanging part 2 is a hanging tool for detachably attaching the drying tool 1 to the indoor opening door D. In this embodiment, it is composed of a pair of hook-shaped members (hereinafter referred to as "hook-shaped members") 21, 21 that are detachably attached to the upper end of the opening door D. The hook-shaped member 21 is composed of a metal plate material whose tip 21a is bent in a substantially U shape, and the U-shaped hook portion 21c formed at the tip 21a has a shape and dimensions that can be fitted to the upper end of the opening door D. Note that the hanging part 2 only needs to have a shape and structure that can be detachably attached to the upper end of the opening door D, and is not limited to the illustrated shape.

[0021] The vertical frame member 3 is a rod-shaped member extending downward from each of the pair of suspension parts 2, 2. In this embodiment, it is composed of a metal pipe (hereinafter referred to as "vertical frame pipe") 31 having a substantially flat elliptical cross-section. As shown in FIG. 1, a pair of these vertical frame pipes 31 are arranged with a predetermined interval therebetween. In the arrangement, the flat surfaces formed on the outer circumferences of the vertical frame pipes 31, 31 face each other.

[0022] Between the pair of vertical frame pipes 31, 31, a reinforcing member 6 is provided which defines the interval between the vertical frame pipes 31, 31 and reinforces the strength of the drying tool 1. In the illustrated example, as the reinforcing member 6, a metal pipe (hereinafter referred to as "reinforcing pipe") 61 having a substantially circular cross-section is used, and this reinforcing pipe 61 is bridged over the upper ends 31a of the vertical frame pipes 31, 31. Here, the reason for arranging the reinforcing pipe 61 at the upper end 31a of the vertical frame pipe 31 is to avoid the tip of the turning member 4 interfering with the reinforcing pipe 61 when the turning member 4 described later is folded and arranged at the storage position (see FIG. 4). Therefore, the arrangement position, the number of arrangements, etc. of the reinforcing pipe 61 can be appropriately changed within a range where the turning member 4 and the reinforcing pipe 61 do not interfere with each other.

[0023] When arranging the reinforcing pipe 61, pipe mounting tools 7 for detachably mounting the reinforcing pipe 61 are provided at the upper ends 31a of the respective vertical frame pipes 31, 31. The pipe mounting tool 7 is composed of a resin member having a substantially U-shaped concave groove that can be fitted with the end portion 61a of the reinforcing pipe 61, and the end portion 61a of the reinforcing pipe 61 is detachably fitted into this concave groove. In this embodiment, the pipe mounting tool 7 has a structure for preventing the reinforcing pipe 61 fitted into the concave groove from easily falling off (for example, providing small protrusions for preventing falling off on the inner circumferential surface of the concave groove).

[0024] And, the base ends 21b of the hook-shaped members 21 are respectively connected and fixed to the upper ends (one ends) 31a of the respective vertical frame pipes 31, 31, and the turning members 4 are respectively rotatably attached to the lower ends (the other ends) 31b thereof.

[0025] In this embodiment, through holes (not shown) formed in both the proximal end 21b of the hook-shaped member 21 and the upper end 31a of the vertical frame pipe 31 are overlapped, and a fastener 8 (for example, a resin or metal push rivet) is attached to the overlapped through holes, whereby the hook-shaped member 21 is connected and fixed to the vertical frame pipe 31 (see FIG. 3).

[0026] On the other hand, the swivel member 4 attached to the lower end 31b of the vertical frame pipe 31 is a member provided with a horizontal member 5 serving as a drying pole, and is configured as a pair on the left and right corresponding to the vertical frame member 3. The swivel member 4 is composed of a rod-shaped member having a proximal end (one end) 41a connected to the vertical frame pipe 31 and a distal end (the other end) 41b rotatably disposed about the proximal end 41a. In this embodiment, similar to the above-described vertical frame pipe 31, it is composed of a metal pipe (hereinafter referred to as a "swivel pipe") 41 having a substantially flat elliptical cross section. As shown in FIG. 1, the swivel pipes 41, 41 are disposed inside the pair of vertical frame pipes 31, 31 adjacent to the vertical frame pipes 31, 31. In the arrangement, similar to the above-described vertical frame pipes 31, 31, the flat surfaces formed on the outer periphery are arranged to face each other.

[0027] The connection of the swivel member 4 to the vertical frame pipe 31 is made such that the distal end 41b side is rotatable about the proximal end 41a of the swivel pipe 41. In this embodiment, through holes (not shown) formed in both the lower end 31b of the vertical frame pipe 31 and the proximal end 41a of the swivel pipe 41 are overlapped, and a connector 9 (for example, a resin or metal connecting pin) serving as the rotation center of the swivel pipe 41 is attached to the overlapped through holes, and the swivel pipe 41 is rotatable about this connector 9.

[0028] In relation to this connection, in the drying tool 1 shown in this embodiment, a connection auxiliary mechanism 10 is provided, one end of which is attached to the vertical frame pipe 31 and the other end of which is attached to the swivel pipe 41. The connection auxiliary mechanism 10 is a mechanism part that assists in pulling out (deploying) and folding (storing) the swivel member 4 rotatably attached to the vertical frame member 3. With this connection auxiliary mechanism 10, the pulled-out swivel member 4 can be held in a deployed position described later.

[0029] In this embodiment, the connection auxiliary mechanism 10 is composed of a metal stay that can be folded in half. This stay has a structure that can be opened and closed between a deployed state in which both ends are deployed (both ends are opened substantially horizontally) with the central connection part as the center and a stored state in which both ends are folded in half (both ends are overlapped) with the connection part as the center. By the function of this connection auxiliary mechanism 10, the swivel member 4 can rotate between a stored position (see FIG. 4) where the tip 41b of the swivel pipe 41 faces upward and is along the vertical frame pipe 31 and a deployed position (see FIGS. 1 to 3) where the tip 41b is pulled out to a position substantially orthogonal to the vertical frame pipe 31.

[0030] Also, in this regard, in this embodiment, on one of the swivel pipes 41, an engaging tool 11 is provided that detachably engages with the vertical frame pipe 31 to hold the stored position when the swivel pipes 41, 41 are folded and arranged in the stored position. The engaging tool 11 is composed of a resin member having a substantially U-shaped concave engaging groove 11a that can be fitted with the vertical frame pipe 31. When the swivel pipe 41 is arranged in the stored position, the vertical frame pipe 31 is fitted into the concave engaging groove 11a. The concave engaging groove 11a, similar to the pipe mounting tool 7 described above, is provided with an anti-drop structure on the inner peripheral surface of the groove so that the inserted vertical frame pipe 31 does not easily drop off. Also, in the illustrated example, the case where the engaging tool 11 is provided only on one of the swivel pipes 41 is shown, but the engaging tool 11 may be configured to be provided on both of the pair of swivel pipes 41, 41.

[0031] The horizontal cross-member 5 is a member that constitutes a clothes drying pole for drying laundry. A plurality (three in the illustrated example) of horizontal cross-members 5, 5,... are spanned between a pair of swivel pipes 41, 41. In the present embodiment, this horizontal cross-member 5 is composed of a metal pipe (hereinafter referred to as "horizontal cross-pipe") 51 having a substantially circular cross-section, and is disposed between the swivel pipes 41, 41 with a predetermined interval (for example, an interval of about 10 cm). In the illustrated example, the case where three horizontal cross-pipes 51, 51,... are disposed as the horizontal cross-member 5 is shown, but the number of horizontal cross-pipes 51 disposed can be appropriately increased or decreased according to the length dimension of the swivel pipe 41. Further, in the illustrated example, the case where the horizontal cross-pipes 51 are arranged at equal intervals is shown, but the interval between the horizontal cross-pipes 51 can be arbitrarily set.

[0032] In arranging the horizontal cross-pipe 51, a horizontal cross-pipe fixture 12 having the same structure as the above-described pipe fixture 7 is used. The horizontal cross-pipe fixture 12 is composed of a resin member having a substantially U-shaped concave groove that can be fitted with the end portion 51a of the horizontal cross-pipe 51, and the end portion 51a of the horizontal cross-pipe 51 is detachably fitted into this concave groove. And, in the concave groove of the horizontal cross-pipe fixture 12, similar to the above-described pipe fixture 7, a structure for preventing the horizontal cross-pipe 51 from falling off is provided, so that the horizontal cross-pipe 51 fitted into the concave groove does not easily fall off. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the concave groove of the horizontal cross-pipe fixture 12 is attached to the flat surface of the swivel pipe 41 so that the opening side faces upward when the swivel member 4 is disposed at the deployment position. Thereby, the horizontal cross-pipe 51 can be attached and detached in a state where the swivel member 4 is disposed at the deployment position.

[0033] Note that, in the figure, the reference numeral 13 indicates a sock clip. The sock clip 13 is an auxiliary tool used when drying socks. The illustrated sock clip 13 is in a form in which a plurality of laundry clips are connected in a horizontal row, and a mounting portion for detachably mounting the sock clip 13 to the horizontal cross-pipe 51 is provided on the proximal end side of the laundry clip. In the illustrated example, the case where the sock clip 13 is mounted on the horizontal cross-pipe 51 is shown, but the sock clip 13 can also be mounted on a portion other than the horizontal cross-pipe 51, for example, the reinforcing pipe 61.

[0034] Reference numeral 14 denotes a buffer for preventing the surface of the opening door D from being damaged by the drying tool 1. This buffer 14 is a resin member attached to the lower end 31b of the vertical frame pipe 31. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, it has a protruding portion that protrudes rearward of the vertical frame pipe 31. When the drying tool 1 is suspended from the opening door D, the protruding portion abuts against the surface of the opening door D, thereby preventing the lower end 31b of the vertical frame pipe 31 and the proximal end 41a of the swivel pipe 41 from coming into contact with the opening door D.

[0035] Next, the usage method of the drying tool 1 configured as described above will be briefly described. (1) When the drying tool 1 is not used as a drying tool, as shown in FIG. 4, the swivel member 4 is in a folded state, that is, the swivel pipes 41, 41 are accommodated inside the vertical frame pipes 31, 31 (storage position). Thereby, the drying tool 1 can be folded compactly, facilitating storage and transportation.

[0036] (2) On the other hand, when the drying tool 1 is used as a drying tool, first, the suspension part 2 is hooked on the upper end of the opening door D, and the drying tool 1 is suspended from the opening door D. In the present embodiment, since the suspension part 2 is configured to have a U-shaped hook part 21c, the pair of left and right hook parts 21c, 21c are respectively hooked on the upper end of the opening door D and attached. Thereby, the drying tool 1 is suspended in front of one surface of the opening door D (for example, the indoor side door surface).

[0037] When the drying tool 1 is suspended from the opening door D, in that state, the swivel member 4 accommodated between the vertical frame pipes 31, 31 is pulled forward. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the swivel member 4 is pulled out until the swivel pipe 41 is in a position substantially orthogonal to the vertical frame pipe 31 (deployed position). Thereby, the connection auxiliary mechanism 10 is in a deployed state, and the swivel pipes 41, 41 are held in the deployed position.

[0038] When the turning member 4 is arranged at the deployment position, a plurality of horizontal members 5, 5,... spanned between the turning pipes 41, 41 are arranged substantially horizontally as shown in FIG. 1. The user uses the horizontally arranged horizontal members 5, 5,... as a drying rack. That is, since a plurality of horizontal members 5, 5,... are arranged side by side on the turning member 4, laundry is dried directly on this horizontal member 5 or via auxiliary tools such as hangers. At that time, when the laundry dried on the horizontal member 5 interferes with the adjacent horizontal member 5, interference with the adjacent horizontal member 5 can be avoided by removing the adjacent horizontal member 5.

[0039] In this way, by drying the laundry on the drying tool 1 suspended in front of the opening door D, the empty space in front of the opening door D can be effectively utilized to dry the laundry. Further, since the drying tool 1 is structured to be attached to the upper end of the opening door D via the suspension part 2, there is no risk of the drying tool 1 falling even if a person or the like touches it, and the laundry can be dried safely.

[0040] Embodiment 2 Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. The drying tool 1' shown in this second embodiment is a modification of the number of turning members 4 provided in the vertical frame member 3, and the other configurations are common to the drying tool 1 shown in Embodiment 1. Therefore, the same reference numerals are given to the common parts of the configurations, and the overlapping explanations are omitted.

[0041] The drying tool 1' shown in this embodiment is provided with a plurality (two in the illustrated example) of turning members 4, 4 at intervals in the vertical direction on a pair of vertical frame members 3, 3. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, a pair of turning members 4, 4 are arranged at two positions, an intermediate position between the upper end 31a and the lower end 31b of the vertical frame pipe 31 and the lower end 31b of the vertical frame pipe 31.

[0042] The upper and lower two sets of swivel members 4, 4 arranged on the vertical frame pipe 31 are both the same as those in the above-described Embodiment 1. The proximal end 41a of the swivel pipe 41 is connected to the vertical frame pipe 31, and the distal end 41b is rotatably arranged around the proximal end 41a. Further, the upper and lower two sets of swivel pipes 41, 41 are both provided with a connection auxiliary mechanism 10 in the same manner as in the above-described Embodiment 1, and a plurality (three in the illustrated example) of horizontal members 5, 5,... are detachably bridged between the swivel pipes 41, 41. In this embodiment, the engaging tool 11 for detachably engaging the swivel pipe 41 with the vertical frame pipe 31 and the sock clip 13 for suspending the socks on the horizontal member 5 are omitted.

[0043] Also, in the drying tool 1' shown in this embodiment, since the length of the vertical frame members 3, 3 is extended with the addition of the swivel members 4, a plurality of reinforcing members 6 are provided accordingly. That is, in the drying tool 1' shown in this embodiment, a reinforcing pipe 61 is bridged between the upper end 31a of the vertical frame pipe 31 and the intermediate position between the upper end 31a and the lower end 31b of the vertical frame pipe 31.

[0044] Thus, in the drying tool 1' shown in this embodiment, since a plurality of swivel members 4, 4 are provided at intervals in the vertical direction on the vertical frame members 3, 3 suspended from the opening door D, the laundry can be dried in multiple stages with intervals in the vertical direction. As a result, compared with the single-stage drying tool 1 shown in Embodiment 1, the swivel member 4 shown in Embodiment 1 can dry more laundry and can effectively utilize the space in front of the opening door D.

[0045] Embodiment 3 Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. The drying tool shown in this third embodiment is obtained by modifying the structures of the horizontal member 5 and the reinforcing member 6 in the drying tools 1, 1' described in the above-described Embodiments 1 and 2, and the other configurations are common to the drying tools 1, 1' shown in Embodiments 1 and 2. Therefore, the same reference numerals are given to the common parts of the configurations, and the overlapping descriptions are omitted.

[0046] The drying tools 1 and 1' shown in this embodiment use telescopic pipes for the horizontal support pipe 51 that constitutes the horizontal support member 5 and the reinforcement pipe 61 that constitutes the reinforcement member 6, respectively. For example, telescopic pipes are used as the pipe materials that respectively constitute the horizontal support pipe 51 and the reinforcement pipe 61. Thereby, both the horizontal support pipe 51 and the reinforcement pipe 61 are configured to be telescopic, and the lateral width of the drying tools 1 and 1' can be freely expanded and contracted according to the width of the opening door D. By configuring in this way, the limited space in front of the opening door D can be effectively utilized as a drying space without waste.

[0047] Note that the above-described embodiments merely show preferred embodiments of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto, and various design changes are possible within its scope.

[0048] For example, in the above-described embodiment, the case where all of the vertical frame pipe 31, the swivel pipe 41, the horizontal support pipe 51, and the reinforcement pipe 61 are made of metal pipes is shown, but these materials can be appropriately changed. For example, all or part of the vertical frame pipe 31, the swivel pipe 41, the horizontal support pipe 51, and the reinforcement pipe 61 can be made of resin pipes. By doing so, the weight of the drying tools 1 and 1' can be reduced.

[0049] Also, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the horizontal support member 5 is used as a drying pole has been described, but the horizontal support member 5 can also be used for purposes other than a drying pole, for example, as a storage shelf for storing towels and the like. Also, in the above-described embodiment, the case where only the horizontal support member 5 is used as a drying pole is shown, but the reinforcement member 6 can also be used as a drying pole. That is, it is also possible to dry laundry such as towels and underwear directly on the reinforcement member 6 or via auxiliary tools such as small hangers.

[0050] In the above-described embodiment, the case where a two-foldable metal stay is used as the connection assisting mechanism 10 has been shown. However, as long as the turning member 4 has a structure capable of holding the deployed position, other structures such as a chain structure in which one end is attached to the vertical frame member 3 and the other end is attached to the turning member 4 can also be adopted.
