Item clip and drying device with item clip

Abstract

When opening a conventional folding clothes drying device that uses clips, the handles protrude toward the hanger, causing it to get tangled. Furthermore, when removing a hanging item, the handle must be gripped with a different hand than the one squeezing the handles, or the item will fall. [Solution] With respect to a surface 11 where a first clamping portion 4 and a second clamping portion 5, which are opposed to each other and can move towards or away from each other, meet, the first clamping portion 4 is arranged on the right side, with the first gripping portion 6 arranged on the left side via a first pivoting portion 8, and the second clamping portion 5 is arranged on the right side, with the second gripping portion 7 arranged on the right side via a second pivoting portion 9, the first clamping piece 2 and the second clamping piece 3 being inserted into each other at the first pivoting portion 8 and the second pivoting portion 9, and the first gripping portion 6 and the second gripping portion 7 being inclined towards the surface 11 where the first clamping portion 4 and the second clamping portion 5, which are biased by a biasing means 10, meet.

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an article clip and a drying device having the article clip. [Background technology]

[0002] A conventional article clipper comprises a pair of clamping pieces facing each other and capable of moving toward and away from each other, a clamping portion formed at one end of each clamping piece, a gripping portion formed at the other end, a support shaft formed in the middle of each of the clamping pieces, and a biasing means for biasing the clamping portions in the direction of joining together. The clamping portion and the gripping portion are each formed in opposite directions relative to the support shaft, and when multiple conventional article clips are used in a foldable clothes drying device in which the clothes drying device is hung from a base via a hanger, there is a problem that the gripping portions protrude toward the hanger when the clothes drying device is opened from a folded state or when multiple clips are removed from a storage location, as the gripping portions protrude toward the hanger. Furthermore, when removing an item such as laundry from an item clipper hanging on a clothes drying device, if the gripping parts are pressed together, a force is applied in the direction of lifting the hanging device, which is opposite to the direction in which the item falls away from the gripping parts. Therefore, unless the item is grabbed with a hand other than the hand that squeezes the gripping parts together, it will fall, making it difficult to use.

[0003] In order to solve the above problems, the proposed patent documents 1 and 2 have the clamping pieces overlapping at the rotating parts, so that the clamping pieces are not on the same plane, and in patent document 2, the shape is changed by removing or widening a part of the clamping pieces in order to make the clamping sections and the gripping sections face each other. When the gripping sections are squeezed together in this state, the clamping pieces twist together and loads are applied to the rotating parts and the boundary where the shape has changed, which may cause breakage, and there are problems with durability.

[0004] The parts of the clamping piece where the thickness or shape has changed are prone to deformation, and if the deformation is too great, they will break.In order to prevent deformation and breakage, it is possible to increase the thickness of the clamping piece, change to a stronger material, or reinforce it with a separate part, but all of these methods increase costs and the addition of separate parts increases the time and effort required for assembly, which is problematic.

The article clips are characterized in that the first and second pivoting part clamping part side protrusions are inserted into the second missing part gripping part side groove and the second missing part clamping part side groove formed on at least one of the gripping part side and the clamping part side of the second missing part, and the first pivoting part gripping part side protrusion and the first pivoting part clamping part side protrusion formed on at least one of the gripping part side and the clamping part side of the first pivoting part are inserted into the second missing part gripping part side groove and the second missing part clamping part side groove formed on at least one of the gripping part side and the clamping part side of the second missing part, and it is desirable that the article clips are characterized in that the article clips are hung from a base via a hanging device. Furthermore, at an intermediate position between the closed state and the fully opened state of the first clamping portion and the second clamping portion of the article scissors of the present invention, the first cutout portion gripping portion side groove and the first cutout portion gripping portion side groove formed on at least one of the gripping portion side and the clamping portion side of the first cutout portion are inserted into the first cutout portion gripping portion side groove, and the first cutout portion gripping portion side groove formed on at least one of the gripping portion side and the clamping portion side of the front side of the first clamping piece is inserted into the second cutout portion gripping portion side groove formed on at least one of the gripping portion side and the clamping portion side of the second rotating portion. It is desirable that the protrusion and the second rotating portion clamping portion side protrusion are inserted into the second missing portion clamping portion side groove and the second missing portion clamping portion side groove formed on at least one of the gripping portion side and clamping portion side of the second missing portion, and that the first rotating portion gripping portion side protrusion and the first rotating portion clamping portion side protrusion formed on at least one of the gripping portion side and clamping portion side of the first rotating portion are inserted from the second missing portion gripping portion side side defect and the second missing portion clamping portion side side defect formed on at least one of the gripping portion side and clamping portion side of the back side of the second clamping piece. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] In the article scissors of the present invention, the clamping portion and the gripping portion are arranged in the same direction relative to the rotating portion, so that when the gripping portions are pressed together during the operation to attach or detach an article, the gripping portion moves toward the clamping portion that is biased, and at the same time, the clamping portion that is biased also moves toward the gripping portion while opening. Because the distance between the hand pinching the gripping portions and the article pinched by the clamping portions becomes shorter, the gripping portions can be pinched together by the action of gripping with one hand, and at the same time, the article that is moving away from the clamping portions can be grasped. In addition, a recess is formed in each rotating part so that the other rotating part can be inserted into the recess, and the rotating parts are rotatably inserted into the recess.The approximate center surfaces of the facing first and second side surfaces of the first and second rotating parts and the approximate center surface in the width direction of the first clamping piece and the approximate center surface in the width direction of the second clamping piece are on the same plane, so that the clamping parts come together at the front and can clamp an item.When a squeezing force is applied to the gripping parts, the rotating parts that try to move in different directions are received by the recess of the other clamping piece, and the force is applied evenly to the left and right sides of the approximate center surface in the width direction of the clamping piece, thereby suppressing twisting and deformation of the clamping pieces and improving breakage and durability. Furthermore, as in claim 2, by freely inserting the middle part of the annular urging means into the slits formed in each of the clamping pieces, the urging means is prevented from coming off when the article clamping device is opened and closed, and the central part of the annular urging means is positioned on the opposite side of the clamping part with respect to the rotating part, and by protruding from the rotating part, it can be hung from the hanging fixture of the clothes drying device. Furthermore, as in claim 3, when the clamping parts of the article clips are fully opened, a protrusion formed on at least one of the gripping part side or clamping part side of the other rotating part is inserted into a groove formed on at least one of the gripping part side or clamping part side of each missing part, so that the clamping pieces rotate in the rotation direction but do not move in a direction perpendicular to the rotation direction unless the clamping parts are fully opened. Opening the clamping parts to the maximum means that the gripping parts are pressed and squeezed to the maximum, and in this state the repulsive force that the clamping parts try to continue to urge by the urging means is maximized, and the force with which each rotating part slides against the other missing part is also maximized, so that the clamping pieces do not move in a direction perpendicular to the rotation direction in which they would come off, which has the effect of preventing them from coming off. Furthermore, as in claim 4, by tilting the gripping portion toward the surface where the clamping portions meet, there are no protruding portions toward the hanging device, which has the effect of eliminating the problem of the item clamps becoming tangled when opening the clothes drying device from a folded state or when removing it from a location where multiple units are stored. Furthermore, as in claim 5, the first clamping piece and the second clamping piece are formed with a first engaging portion and a second engaging portion with which the annular biasing means engages, and a first through hole and a second through hole into which the edge of the biasing means is inserted, thereby providing the effect of enabling the biasing means to be attached efficiently. Furthermore, the sixth aspect of the present invention has the effect that the article clips do not get tangled with each other, making the clothes drying device easy to use. Furthermore, as in claim 7, by inserting the rotating protrusion formed on at least one of the gripping portion side and clamping portion side of the rotating portion of the other clamping piece from the side defect formed on at least one of the gripping portion side and clamping portion side of the front side and back side into the defect groove formed on at least one of the gripping portion side and clamping portion side of each defect at a position intermediate between the closed state and the fully open state in which the clamping portions of the item clamping device are disengaged, the rotating protrusion will not move in a direction perpendicular to the rotation direction except at a position intermediate between the closed state in which the clamping portions are disengaged and the fully open state, thereby preventing disengagement.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] A first embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS.

[0011] The article clipper 1 comprises a first clamping piece 2 and a second clamping piece 3, each having a first clamping portion 4 and a second clamping portion 5 formed at one end thereof, which are opposed to each other and can move towards or away from each other; a first gripping portion 6 and a second gripping portion 7 formed at the other end of the first clamping piece 2 and the second clamping piece 3, respectively; a first rotating portion 8 formed at an intermediate portion between the first clamping portion 4 and the first gripping portion 6; a second rotating portion 9 formed at an intermediate portion between the second clamping portion 5 and the second gripping portion 7; The article scissors 1 are equipped with a biasing means 10 that biases the first and second clamping portions 4 and 5 in the direction in which they come together, and the first clamping portion 4 is located on the right side of the center line 12 of the article scissors 1 on the surface 11 where the first clamping portion 4 and the second clamping portion 5 come together, with the first gripping portion 6 being located on the left side via the first rotating portion 8, and the second clamping portion 5 is located on the left side of the center line 12 with the second gripping portion 7 being located on the right side via the second rotating portion 9.

[0012] The first rotating part 8 is formed with a first cutout 13 having a width into which the second rotating part 9 is inserted, and the second rotating part 9 is formed with a second cutout 14 having a width into which the first rotating part 8 is inserted. The thicknesses of the first rotating part 8 and the second rotating part 9 are made equal, and a surface 17 at the approximate center of a first side surface 15 and a second side surface 16 facing each other of the first rotating part 8 and the second rotating part 9 is formed with a surface 18 at the approximate center in the width direction of the first clamping piece 2 and a surface 19 at the approximate center in the width direction of the second clamping piece 2. The approximate center surface 19 of the width direction of each piece 3 is on the same plane, and the first rotating portion protrusion side sliding surface 20 and the second missing portion groove side sliding surface 23, the second rotating portion protrusion side sliding surface 21 and the first missing portion groove side sliding surface 22 apply equal force to the approximate center surface 18 of the width direction of the first clamping piece 2 and the approximate center surface 19 of the width direction of the second clamping piece 3, thereby suppressing twisting and deformation of the clamping pieces and improving resistance to breakage and durability.

[0013] When the first clamping portion 4 and the second clamping portion 5 are fully opened, the second rotating portion gripping portion side protrusion 30 and the second rotating portion gripping portion side protrusion 31 formed on at least one of the gripping portion side and the gripping portion side of the second rotating portion 9 are inserted into the first missing portion gripping portion side groove 24 and the first missing portion gripping portion side groove 25 formed on at least one of the gripping portion side and the gripping portion side of the first missing portion 13, and the second rotating portion gripping portion side protrusion 31 and the second rotating portion gripping portion side protrusion 31 are inserted into the first missing portion gripping portion side groove 24 and the first missing portion gripping portion side groove 25 formed on at least one of the gripping portion side and the gripping portion side of the second missing portion 14. By inserting the first rotating portion gripping portion side protrusion 28 and the first rotating portion gripping portion side protrusion 29 formed on at least one of the gripping portion side and gripping portion side of the first rotating portion 8 into the formed second missing portion gripping portion side groove 26 and second missing portion gripping portion side groove 27, the first gripping piece 2 and the second gripping piece 3 rotate in the rotation direction but do not move in a direction perpendicular to the rotation direction unless the first gripping portion 4 and the second gripping portion 5 are opened to their maximum.

[0014] Opening the first clamping portion 4 and the second clamping portion 5 to their maximum means that the first gripping portion 6 and the second gripping portion 7 are pressed and squeezed to their maximum, and in this state the repulsive force exerted by the biasing means 10 on the first clamping portion 4 and the second clamping portion 5 is at its maximum, and the sliding forces of the first rotating portion protrusion side sliding surface 20 and the second missing portion groove side sliding surface 23, the second rotating portion protrusion side sliding surface 21 and the first missing portion groove side sliding surface 22 are also at their maximum.As a result, the first clamping piece 2 and the second clamping piece 3 do not move in a direction perpendicular to the rotation direction in which they come off, which has the effect of preventing them from coming off.

[0015] The front side surface 32 and the back side surface 33 of the first clamping piece 2 and the front side surface 34 and the back side surface 35 of the second clamping piece 3 may not be parallel or may be curved, but the approximate center surface 18 in the width direction of the first clamping piece 2 and the approximate center surface 19 in the width direction of the second clamping piece 3 are on the same plane as the approximate center surface 17 between the opposing first side surface 15 and second side surface 16 of the first rotating part 8 and the second rotating part 9, and are parallel to the rotation direction.

[0016] A rotating part may be provided which is composed of a convex part 36 formed on one of the first side surface 15 and the second side surface 16 which faces the first rotating part 8 and the second rotating part 9, and a concave part 37 formed on the other side surface of the first side surface 15 and the second side surface 16 into which the convex part 36 is rotatably inserted.

[0017] The shapes of first cutout gripping portion groove 24, first cutout clamping portion groove 25, second cutout gripping portion groove 26, and second cutout clamping portion groove 27 formed in first cutout 13 and second cutout 14 are preferably arc-shaped in terms of rotation, but may be linear. The shapes of first rotating portion gripping portion side protrusion 28, first rotating portion clamping portion side protrusion 29, second rotating portion gripping portion side protrusion 30, and second rotating portion clamping portion side protrusion 31 formed in first rotating portion 8 and second rotating portion 9 are preferably arc-shaped in terms of rotation, but may be linear.

[0018] The biasing means 10 is formed in a ring shape, and its end edges engage with the first engaging portion 38 and the second engaging portion 39 formed on the first clamping piece 2 and the second clamping piece 3, respectively, and the middle portion of the biasing means 10 is movably inserted into the first slit portion 40 and the second slit portion 41 formed on the first clamping piece 2 and the second clamping piece 3, respectively, the first rotating portion 8 and the second rotating portion 9 are stored inside the ring-shaped biasing means 10, and the central portion of the biasing means 10 is positioned on the opposite side of the first clamping portion 4 and the second clamping portion 5 with respect to the first rotating portion 8 and the second rotating portion 9, and by protruding from the first rotating portion 8 and the second rotating portion 9, it may be hung on the clothes drying device via a hanging device 42.

[0019] The first clamping piece 2 and the second clamping piece 3 are formed with a first engaging portion 38 and a second engaging portion 39 with which the annular urging means 10 engages, and a first through hole 43 and a second through hole 44 into which the edge of the urging means 10 is inserted during assembly and disassembly.

[0020] The first gripping portion 6 and the second gripping portion 7 are inclined toward the surface 11 where the first clamping portion 4 and the second clamping portion 5 meet, so that there are no protruding portions toward the hanging device 42, thereby preventing the item clamps 1 from becoming entangled with each other.

[0021] Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

[0022] When the first clamping portion 4 and the second clamping portion 5 are at a position intermediate between the closed state and the fully open state, the first cutout portion gripping portion groove 24 (see FIG. 7) and the first cutout portion gripping portion groove 25 formed on at least one of the gripping portion side and the clamping portion side of the first cutout portion 13 (see FIG. 8) are inserted into the first cutout portion gripping portion side groove 24 (see FIG. 7) and the first cutout portion gripping portion side groove 25 formed on at least one of the gripping portion side and the clamping portion side of the first cutout portion 13 (see FIG. 8), and the second rotating portion gripping portion side protrusion 47 and the second rotating portion gripping portion side protrusion 48 formed on at least one of the gripping portion side and the clamping portion side of the second rotating portion 9 are inserted from the first cutout portion gripping portion side side recess 45 and the first cutout portion gripping portion side side recess 46 formed on at least one of the gripping portion side and the clamping portion side of the front side surface 32 of the first clamping piece, thereby forming the gripping portion groove 24 (see FIG. 7) and the first cutout portion gripping portion groove 25 formed on at least one of the gripping portion side and the clamping portion side of the first cutout portion 13 (see FIG. 8). The first rotating part gripping part side protrusion 51 and the first rotating part clamping part side protrusion 52 formed on at least one of the gripping part side and clamping part side of the first rotating part 8 are inserted from the second missing part gripping part side groove 26 and the second missing part clamping part side groove 27 formed on at least one of the gripping part side and clamping part side of the back side surface 35 of the second clamping piece through the second missing part gripping part side groove 26 and the second missing part clamping part side groove 27 formed on at least one of the gripping part side and clamping part side. As a result, the first clamping part 4 and the second clamping part 5 do not move in a direction perpendicular to the rotation direction in which the clamping parts come apart except at a position intermediate between the closed state and the fully open state.

[0023] As the first gripping portion 6 and the second gripping portion 7 are pressed together, the repulsive force exerted by the biasing means 10 gradually increases, and the sliding forces of the first rotating portion protrusion side sliding surface 20 and the second missing portion groove side sliding surface 23, and the second rotating portion protrusion side sliding surface 21 and the first missing portion groove side sliding surface 22 also gradually increase.As a result, the sliding forces are also large even when the first clamping portion 4 and the second clamping portion 5 are in an intermediate position between the closed position and the fully open position, and therefore the clamping portions do not move in a direction perpendicular to the rotation direction in which they separate.

[0024] In the first embodiment, the rotating portion protrusions 28, 29, 30, 31 are formed along the rotating portion protrusion side sliding surfaces 20, 21 from the center line 12 of the article clamping device on the surface where the first clamping portion and the second clamping portion come together, as shown in FIG. 5, and are inserted into the missing portion grooves 24 (see FIG. 7), 25, 26, 27 from the center line 12 of the article clamping device when the clamping portions are in the maximum open state as shown in FIG. 4, and in the second embodiment, the rotating portion protrusions 47, 48, 51, 52 are separated from the center line 12 of the article clamping device on the surface where the first clamping portion and the second clamping portion come together along the rotating portion protrusion side sliding surfaces 20, 21 as shown in FIG. 15, and are inserted into the missing portion grooves 24 (see FIG. 7), 25, 26, 27 from the center line 12 of the article clamping device When part 5 is rotated halfway between the closed state and the fully open state, rotating part protrusions 47, 48, 51, 52 are formed in a position where they can be inserted into the cutout side cutouts 45, 46, 49, 50, and by inserting the rotating part protrusions 47, 48, 51, 52 from the cutout side cutouts 45, 46, 49, 50 into the cutout grooves 24 (see Figure 7), 25, 26, 27, the position halfway between the closed state and the fully open state where the clamping parts of the item clamping device 1 come apart does not remain stationary during opening and closing operations, and in the closed state where the clamping parts come apart and in the fully open state where the clamping parts come apart, the clamping parts do not move in a direction perpendicular to the rotation direction in which they come apart and do not come apart.

[0025] In the first and second embodiments, the recess 37 of the item scissors 1 has a protrusion 36 formed on either the first or second side surface and a recess 37 formed on the other side surface of the protrusion formed on either the first or second side surface, and it is desirable that the recess 37 has a cylindrical shape, and it is desirable that the protrusion 36 has a cylindrical shape, but any shape is acceptable as long as it can rotate while contacting the inner surface of the cylindrical shape of the recess 37, and triangular or rectangular shapes are also possible.

[0026] In the first and second embodiments, the first clamping piece 2 and the second clamping piece 3 are preferably formed in a shape such as a dogleg, V-shape, U-shape, C-shape, semicircle, or curved body, and are preferably molded and manufactured from a material such as synthetic resin. Examples of synthetic resin include polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, and polycarbonate polystyrene, but stainless steel, aluminum, wood, and the like may also be used. The biasing means 10 is preferably made of a material such as steel wire or stainless steel.

[0027] The assembly method for the article scissors 1 will now be described. With the first clamping piece 2 and the second clamping piece 3 disassembled, insert the edge of the urging means 10 into the first slit portion 40 of the first clamping piece 2, then into the second through-hole 44 of the second clamping piece 3, and then insert the other edge of the urging means 10 into the second slit portion 41 of the second clamping piece 3, and place the first clamping piece 2 on the clamping part side between the open edge of the annular urging means 10 and the other edge. 。Next, in the case of the article scissors 1 having the first embodiment protrusions, with the first clamping portion 4 and the second clamping portion 5 fully open, the first pivoting portion 8 and the second pivoting portion 9 are inserted into the second cutout portion 14 and the first cutout portion 13.
