Auxiliary hanging device for laundry drying rack

[0001] The present invention relates to an auxiliary hanging device for a laundry drying rack, and more specifically, to an auxiliary hanging device for a laundry drying rack that can be mounted on a laundry drying rack to hang laundry.

[0002] Laundry drying is performed using a drying rack placed indoors or on a veranda. The existing laundry drying rack for drying laundry includes a pair of legs that can rotate around one end to spread the other end, and a laundry hanging means that can rotate and unfold from one end of the legs, equipped with a hanging rod or panel for holding laundry to dry. The laundry hanging means includes a hanging rod or panel that can rotate and unfold from one end of the legs. The laundry hanging means includes a hanging rod or panel that can rotate and unfold from one end of the legs. The laundry hanging means includes a hanging rod or panel that can rotate and unfold from one end of the legs. Laundry is hung on the hanging rod or panel of the laundry hanging means to dry.

[0003] Conventional laundry drying racks of this type are folded for storage when not in use, and then unfolded to hold laundry when drying. Therefore, since they can be folded for storage when not in use, they have the effect of reducing volume.

[0004] In the case of laundry drying racks, the hanging mechanism is fixedly connected, so the amount of laundry that can be hung is limited. Therefore, there was a problem where an additional drying rack was required when the amount of laundry to be dried exceeded the capacity of the hanging mechanism.

[0005] The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned problems. The present invention aims to provide an auxiliary hanging device for a laundry drying rack that can be detachably mounted on the legs of a conventional laundry drying rack as needed to hang laundry.

[0006] In addition, the present invention aims to provide an auxiliary hanging device for a laundry drying rack that can be detachably mounted by adjusting the length protruding from the legs of the laundry drying rack.

[0007] An auxiliary hanging device for a laundry drying rack according to the present invention comprises a support means and a hanging means. The support means comprises a pair of connecting bodies, a first support member, and a second support member. The pair of connecting bodies is mounted on the legs of the laundry drying rack. Both ends of the first support member are connected to the connecting body so that it is located on the inner side of the leg on which the connecting body is mounted. Both ends of the second support member are connected to the connecting body so that it is located on the outer side of the leg on which the connecting body is mounted and is spaced at a certain distance vertically downward from the first support member. The hanging means may be detachable from the leg by comprising a frame member, a hook, a stopper member, and a plurality of hanging rods or panels. The frame member may be inserted between the legs on which the connecting body is mounted, and may be positioned horizontally such that the upper part of one end is supported by the first support member and one side of the lower part of both ends is supported by the second support member. The above ring is mounted on one end of the frame member so as to protrude to be caught on the second support. The stopper member is mounted on both ends of the frame member and has a stopper projection protruding so as to be supported on the leg when the ring is caught on the second support. The plurality of hanging rods or panels are mounted on the frame member.

[0008] In addition, in the above auxiliary hanging device for a laundry drying rack, it is preferable that the stopper member further comprises a collision projection that collides with the second support so that the frame member is no longer inserted between the legs when the frame member is positioned horizontally and one side of the lower portion of both ends is supported by the second support.

[0009] In addition, in the above-described auxiliary hanging device for a laundry drying rack, it is preferable that the stopper member be adjustable in position along both ends of the frame member so that the frame member can be further inserted between the legs.

[0010] In addition, regarding the auxiliary hanging device for a laundry drying rack described above, it is preferable that the hanging rod or panel is slidable and detachable from the frame member.

[0011] In addition, regarding the auxiliary hanging device for a laundry drying rack described above, it is preferable that the connecting body be adjustable in position along the leg.

[0012] According to the present invention, a support means is mounted on the leg of a laundry drying rack, and a hanging means can be attached to and detached from the support means as needed. Accordingly, if there is no space on the laundry drying rack, the hanging means can be attached to the support means to hang additional laundry.

[0013] In addition, according to the present invention, the hanging means can be rotated from the support means and attached to the leg of the laundry drying rack. Thus, when the laundry drying rack is folded, the auxiliary hanging device of the present invention can also be folded together with the laundry drying rack.

[0014] In addition, according to the present invention, the hanging means can move horizontally along the support means while in a horizontally unfolded state, and also, by having a "B" shape, the frame member (21) can be moved inward or upward, thereby allowing the length of the hanging means protruding from the laundry drying rack to be adjusted.

[0021] Figures 8 and 9 are combined diagrams of Figure 7.

[0022] An auxiliary hanging device for a laundry drying rack according to the present invention includes a support means (10) and a hanging means (20).

[0023] The support means (10) comprises a pair of connecting bodies (11), a first support member (15), and a second support member (17).

[0024] The connecting body (11) is mounted on the leg (3) of the laundry drying rack. At this time, the connecting body (11) may be connected so that its position is fixed to the leg (3), but it is preferable that it be connected so that its position can be adjusted as it moves along the leg (3). In the present embodiment, a tightening part (12) is formed on the connecting body (11). When the tightening part (12) is rotated in one direction, the connecting body (11) can move along the leg (3), and when the tightening part (12) is rotated in the other direction, the connecting body (11) is fixed to the leg (3). Thus, the connecting body (11) can adjust its position on the leg (3). Meanwhile, the connecting body (11) may be mounted so that it can be attached to the leg (3) in a detachable manner. In this case, the connecting body (11) may be implemented in a form that is fitted onto the leg (3).

[0025] The first support member (15) has both ends connected to the connecting body (11) so as to be positioned on the inner side of the leg (3) on which the connecting body (11) is mounted.

[0026] The second support member (17) has both ends connected to the connecting body (11) so as to be positioned on the outer side of the leg on which the connecting body (11) is mounted. At this time, the second support member (17) is connected to the connecting body (11) so as to be positioned at a certain distance downward from the first support member (15) in the vertical direction. Here, since the hanging means (20) must be laid horizontally and inserted between the first support member (15) and the second support member (17), the first support member (15) and the second support member (17) are spaced vertically apart so that there is a gap through which the hanging means (20) can be inserted horizontally.

[0027] In the case of this embodiment, the support means (10) is mounted on the inclined leg (3) of the laundry drying rack, but it can also be mounted on the vertically erected leg.

[0028] The hanging means (20) can be attached to and detached from the support means (10) and can hang laundry. To this end, the hanging means (20) is equipped with a frame member (21), a hook (22), a stopper member (23), and a plurality of hanging rods (27) or panels.

[0029] The frame member (21) is inserted horizontally between the first support (15) and the second support (17). Here, since the first support (15) is located on the inside of the leg (3) and the second support (17) is located on the outside of the leg (3), the frame member (21) must be able to be inserted between the legs (3). Therefore, the width of the frame member (21) is formed to be smaller than the width between the legs (3). Here, when the frame member (21) is inserted between the first support (15) and the second support (17), the upper part of one end of the frame member (21) is supported by the first support (15), and the lower part of both ends of the frame member (21) is supported by the second support (17) on one side, so that it can be placed horizontally.

[0030] A ring (22) is mounted on one end of the frame member (21) so as to protrude so as to be hooked onto the second support (17). The ring (22) is used when folding the hanging means (20) so as to be parallel to the leg (3). When the frame member (21) is pulled out between the first support (15) and the second support (17) and the ring (22) is hooked onto the second support (17), the frame member (21) rotates around the second support (17).

[0031] The stopper member (23) is equipped with a stopper projection (24) and a collision projection (25) and is mounted on both ends of the frame member (21). Here, the stopper projection (24) is used to hang the hook (22) on the second support (17) and to fold the hanging means (20) to the leg (3), and the collision projection (25) is used to lay the hanging means (20) horizontally so that it is supported by the first support (15) and the second support (17).

[0032] First, the stopper projection (24) serves to support the leg (3) when the hanging means (20) is folded parallel to the leg (3). When the ring (22) attached to one end of the frame member (21) is hooked onto the second support (17), the frame member (21) rotates around the second support (17) and attempts to be inserted between the legs (3). At this time, the stopper projection (24) collides with the leg (3) and supports the frame member (21) so that it does not rotate further. Thus, the hanging means (20) can be folded parallel to the leg (3) by means of the stopper projection (24).

[0033] Next, the collision projection (25) serves to limit the length to which the hanging means (20) is inserted horizontally between the legs (3). When the frame member (21) is supported by the first support (15) and the second support (17) and positioned horizontally, it is protruded to collide with the second support (17) so that the frame member (21) is no longer inserted between the legs (3).

[0034] Meanwhile, the stopper member (24) can be fixedly coupled to both ends of the frame member (21) so as not to move, but it can also be coupled so as to be adjustable in position along both ends. That is, it can be coupled so that its position can be adjusted by moving it along both ends. When the position of the stopper member (24) is adjusted, the rolling protrusion (25) moves, so in this case, the depth to which the frame member (21) is inserted between the legs (3) can be adjusted.

[0035] A hanging rod (27) or a panel (28) can hang laundry and is mounted on a frame member (21). At this time, the hanging rod (27) is mounted so as to slide on the frame member (21), and the panel (28) is mounted so as to be detachable. In this case, the number and spacing of the hanging rods (27) and panels (28) can be adjusted.

[0036] In the present embodiment, the support means (10) is mounted on the leg (3) of the laundry drying rack. Here, since the connecting body (11) moves along the leg (3) and its position can be adjusted, the height of the support means (10) on the leg (3) can be adjusted. Additionally, in the present embodiment, although the support means (10) is mounted on the inclined leg (3) of the laundry drying rack, it can be formed to be mounted on a vertically erected leg as well.

[0037] With the support means (10) mounted on the leg (3), the vertical distance between the first support member (15) and the second support member (17) corresponds to the thickness in the height direction of the frame member (21). Thus, the frame member (21) can be inserted between the first support member (15) and the second support member (17). Then, the frame member (21) can be maintained horizontally with its upper part supported by the first support member (15) and its lower part supported by the second support member (17). At this time, the hanging means (20) can prevent the hanging means (20) from being inserted further between the first support member (15) and the second support member (17) by the collision projection (25) colliding with the second support member (17). In this case, laundry can be hung on the hanging rod (27) or panel.

[0038] Additionally, the position of the stopper member (23) can be adjusted to reduce the length of the hanging means (20) protruding outward from the leg (3). That is, by moving the stopper member (23) from both ends of the frame member (21), the frame member (21) can be inserted further between the first support (15) and the second support (17) by the amount the stopper member (23) has moved. In this case, the length of the hanging means (20) protruding outward from the leg (3) can be reduced so that laundry can be hung on the hanging rod (27), and the hanging rod (27) formed in the shape of a panel can also be installed.

[0039] Meanwhile, when laundry is retrieved from the hanging means (20), the hanging means (20) is separated from the support means (10) and the hook (22) is hung on the second support (17). Then, the hanging means (20) rotates around the second support (17), and as the stopper projection (24) contacts the leg (3), the hanging means (20) folds parallel to the leg (3). Thus, the hanging means (20) is easy to store.

[0040] The present invention relates to an auxiliary hanging device attached to a laundry drying rack to allow additional laundry to be hung. It can be widely applied not only to general household laundry drying racks but also to various locations where large quantities of laundry are generated, such as laundromats, lodging establishments, hospitals, and nursing facilities. Since the auxiliary hanging device of the present invention can be installed with a structure that allows for simple attachment and detachment without altering the existing structure of the drying rack, it can be universally used with various types of drying racks already available on the market (foldable, expandable, stand-alone, etc.). Furthermore, the present invention can be manufactured using relatively simple metal or synthetic resin molded products, making mass production easy, and it can be produced using conventional manufacturing processes such as injection molding, press processing, welding, and assembly. Therefore, the present invention is practically applicable across the entire industry of functional expansion products for laundry drying racks, household and commercial living goods, and residential convenience goods, and can contribute to improving the efficiency of related industries and enhancing consumer convenience.
