[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of clothes drying hangers, and more particularly to a clothes drying hanger that allows laundry to be easily taken in with one hand. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventional sock drying hangers typically either secure socks with rigid clips or hang them directly on the clothesline. The former method has a strong clamping force that can easily leave marks on the socks and damage the fabric fibers. Furthermore, when removing the socks, both hands must be used to operate the clips and remove the socks, making the process cumbersome. The latter method lacks effective fastening, making the socks prone to falling off due to wind or vibration. It is particularly difficult to achieve stable clamping and convenient removal with conventional technologies, especially for socks made of easily deformable materials such as cotton. Therefore, to overcome these drawbacks, it is necessary to provide a clothes drying hanger that allows laundry to be easily removed with one hand. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0015] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and beneficial technical effects of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for the purpose of illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0016] It is also to be understood that the terminology used in the specification of the present invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only, and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention. As used in the specification of the present invention and the appended claims, the singular forms "a," "one," and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0017] Furthermore, the term "and / or" as used in the specification and appended claims of this invention shall be understood to refer to and include any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0018] In an embodiment of the present invention, a clothes drying hanger 100 is provided which is used to dry small fabrics (i.e., laundry) such as socks, underwear, and undergarments, and is convenient and quick to load, easy to operate with one hand, and allows laundry to be easily loaded with one hand.

[0019] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, a clothes drying hanger 100 that allows laundry to be easily taken in with one hand includes a tray body 10 and a hook member 20.

[0020] The main body of the tray body 10 is generally flat and is provided with a plurality of drying holes 101. The drying holes 101 may be circular or rectangular. A soft rubber sheet 30 is fitted into each drying hole 101. The soft rubber sheet 30 is used to fill the corresponding drying hole 101. The soft rubber sheet 30 may be made of a material such as thermoplastic rubber (TRP) or thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), and is, for example, a rubber sheet or silicone sheet, and has a certain degree of elasticity to softly protect clothes.

[0021] Here, a locking protrusion 11 is provided along the circumferential direction on the inner wall of the clothes drying hole 101. For example, the locking protrusion 11 is a ring-shaped protrusion provided in the center of the inner wall of the clothes drying hole 101. Correspondingly, an annular locking groove 301 that fits with the locking protrusion 11 is formed on the edge of the soft rubber sheet 30. The locking protrusion 11 is fitted into the corresponding locking groove 301 so as to fix the soft rubber sheet 30 to the clothes drying hole.

[0022] Furthermore, the locking protrusion 11 is provided with at least one fixing hole 111. Fixing posts 31 that correspond one-to-one to the fixing holes 111 are connected to the locking grooves 301 on both the top and bottom sides along the thickness direction of the soft rubber sheet 30. The fixing posts 31 are inserted into the corresponding fixing holes 111, and the top and bottom sides of the locking groove 301 are brought into contact with the top and bottom sides of the locking protrusions 11, respectively. This prevents the soft rubber sheet 30 from falling off from the clothes drying hole 101 even if the peripheral edge of the soft rubber sheet 30 is pulled, improving the stability of the soft rubber sheet 30 when fixed. Here, the fixing posts 31 can be formed by injection-molding soft rubber and then filling the fixing holes 111.

[0023] In this embodiment, a long slit 302 is provided in the center of the soft rubber sheet 30. The number of long slits 302 is not limited to one, and multiple long slits 302 may be combined. Preferably, the multiple long slits 302 intersect at the same intersection. For example, the shape formed by the long slits 302 may be one of a line, a cross, a cross, or any other irregular combination. When drying small fabrics such as socks, clips are not required; the item can simply be inserted directly into the long slit 302. The soft rubber sheet 30 is compressed and deformed to generate an automatically adaptive clamping force, which not only prevents damage due to rigidity (avoiding the problem of leaving marks on the fabric), but also ensures that the frictional force is greater than gravity (effectively preventing the fabric from falling). When a sock needs to be removed, it can be pulled down directly with one hand. The elastic restoring force of the long slit 302 allows the sock body to be smoothly removed even when subjected to a vertical force, making the operation simple and quick.

[0024] Furthermore, the tray body 10 is provided with a plurality of drain holes 102, which allow small clothing items such as underwear and undergarments to be placed on the tray body 10 to drain and dry as needed. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the drain holes 102 may be cross-shaped. Here, the plurality of drain holes 102 and the plurality of clothes drying holes 101 are alternately arranged at intervals. The drain holes also effectively reduce the overall weight of the tray body 10.

[0025] In this embodiment, the tray body 10 includes a clothes drying board 12 and a position limiting board 13 provided around the clothes drying board 12.

[0026] The laundry drying board 12 and the position limiting board 13 form a storage groove 103 for placing laundry such as underwear and undergarments. Of course, socks can also be placed directly in the storage groove 103. The position limiting board 13 effectively prevents laundry from falling due to wind. Here, both the laundry drying hole 101 and the drain hole 102 are provided in the laundry drying board 12.

[0027] In the embodiment of the present invention, the hook member 20 is connected to a predetermined position of the tray body 10 so as to suspend the tray body 10.

[0028] Specifically, the hooking member 20 includes two hangers 21 provided on opposite sides of the tray body 10. For example, the two hangers 21 are provided on the position limiting plates 13 on both the left and right sides, respectively. Here, each hanger 21 includes a vertical support portion 211 and a horizontal hanger portion 212. The vertical support portion 211 is connected to the tray body 10. The vertical support portion and the horizontal hanger portion 212 together form a substantially T-shaped structure.

[0029] Here, a hook 213 is provided at one end of the horizontal hanging portion 212. The hook 213 is obtained by bending one end of the horizontal hanging portion vertically downward. The hook 213 is used to abut one side of the tray body 10 against a vertical wall surface.

[0030] Therefore, the shape of the hook 213 is designed so that when one side of the tray body 10 is abutted against a vertical wall surface (including, but not limited to, a structure with a vertical support surface such as a wall or board), the hook 213 can be hung on a rod-shaped object near the vertical wall surface, or on objects of different thicknesses, such as a door, wall, or balcony guardrail. For example, when the hook 213 is hung on a clothesline pole, the entire horizontal hanging portion 212 can rotate along the clothesline pole, and at this time, the tray body 10 naturally rotates downward due to its own gravity. Due to the positional constraint of the vertical wall, the tray body 10 can lean against the vertical wall in an approximately horizontal position, thereby forming a stable configuration. Therefore, even in situations where hanging is difficult (for example, when the clothesline pole is close to a vertical wall), the hook 213 allows the tray body 10 to be positioned horizontally and stably.

[0031] Furthermore, an inverted hook 214 is provided at one end of the horizontal hanging portion 212 remote from the hook 213. The inverted hook 214 is also obtained by bending the end of the horizontal hanging portion 212 remote from the hook 213 downward, thereby forming an arc-shaped groove-like structure. The inverted hook 214 is used to hang the tray body 10 on a clothesline pole so that it is suspended in mid-air. In this case, the tray body 10 does not require the assistance of a vertical wall surface to be fixed. For example, when the inverted hook 214 is hung on a clothesline pole, if the hanger 21 is positioned in the center of the tray body 10, the tray body 10 will be in a nearly horizontal position.

[0032] In one embodiment, each hanger 21 further includes a slide mounting portion 215 and an elastic stopper 216. One end of the vertical support portion 211 remote from the horizontal hanger portion 212 is connected to the slide mounting portion 215. Furthermore, the vertical support portion 211 is rotatably connected to the slide mounting portion 215 so that the vertical support portion 211 and the horizontal hanger portion 212 can be folded onto the tray body 10 for easy storage.

[0033] Here, the tray body 10 is provided with slide bars 14 on both sides where the hangers 21 are provided (for example, on the position limiting plates 13 on both sides). The slide bars 14 are provided with a plurality of positioning holes 141. The slide mounting parts 215 are slidably connected to the slide bars 14, so that they can slide on the slide bars 14 without falling. Furthermore, the position of the vertical support parts 211 relative to the tray body 10 can be changed depending on the thickness of the object to be hung, such as a door or wall. The maximum width can be adjusted up to 30 cm, making it suitable for a variety of usage situations.

[0034] For example, for a door or wall with an open top, the hook 213 is placed against one side of the top of the door or wall, and the tray body 10 is placed against the other side of the top of the door or wall. By moving the sliding mounting portion 215, the hook 213 can be adjusted to different positions, making it possible to hang objects of different thicknesses, such as doors and walls, thereby expanding the range of uses for the product. Also, when using the reverse hook 214 to hang on a clothesline, the tray body 10 can be positioned horizontally by moving the sliding mounting portion 215 to near the center of the sliding bar 14. Here, the sliding bar 14 may be provided with a scale line connecting all of the positioning holes 141 to make it easier for the user to determine whether the tray body 10 is horizontal.

[0035] In this embodiment, the elastic stopper 216 includes a button hingedly connected to the slide mounting portion 215, a positioning pin (not shown) on one side of the button, and a spring (not shown) on the opposite side of the button from the positioning pin. The spring is used to drive the button to insert the positioning pin into any of the positioning holes 141. If the position of the slide mounting portion 215 on the slide bar 14 needs to be changed, the button can be moved while being pressed. Note that the elastic position limiting structure of the elastic stopper 216 can refer to similar structures in the prior art and is not particularly limited in the present invention.

[0036] In one embodiment, a plurality of shoe drying units 15 are further rotatably provided on the edge of the tray body 10. The shoe drying units 15 are strip-shaped frames with one end approximately semicircular, and are used to insert into shoes to dry them vertically. When the shoe drying units 15 are rotated to a position perpendicular to the surface of the tray body 10, shoes can be dried, and when the shoe drying units 15 are folded onto the surface of the tray body 10, storage is easy.

[0037] As described above, the laundry drying hanger 100 according to the present invention, which allows easy one-handed laundry collection, uses the elongated slits 302 in the soft rubber sheet 30 fitted within the tray body 10 to form an elastic clamping surface. When a sock is inserted, the soft rubber sheet 30 is pressed and deformed, generating an automatically adaptive clamping force, which not only avoids damage due to rigidity (the problem of clip marks) but also ensures that the frictional force is greater than gravity (prevents the sock from falling). When collecting the sock, simply pull it down with one hand, and the elastic restoring force of the elongated slits 302 allows the sock to be smoothly removed even when subjected to a vertical force (no additional release operation is required). This directly solves the drawbacks of using both hands, effectively avoids damage to the fabric, and enables quick collection of the fabric.

[0038] The present invention is not limited to the content described in the specification and the embodiments, and other advantages and modifications will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific details, representative apparatus, and illustrated examples described herein, without departing from the spirit and scope of the general concept as defined by the claims and their equivalents.
