Description

  The present invention relates to a clothes dryer for detachably supporting a laundry such as a laundry, and more specifically, a fitting shaft portion of a latching member is rotatably fitted and attached to a cylindrical bearing portion of a clothes drying body. The fitting shaft portion of the member includes a locking portion that can be locked to the end edge of the bearing portion in a retaining state, and an elastic deformation of the locking portion to an outer diameter that can pass through the bearing hole of the bearing portion. The present invention relates to a clothes dryer in which a groove portion that allows a reduced diameter is formed.

  In this type of clothes dryer, simply by pushing the fitting shaft portion of the latching member against the bearing portion of the clothesline body, the elastic restoring force of the locking portion when passing through the bearing hole of the bearing portion is used. Thus, the locking portion can be retained and locked to the end edge of the bearing portion.

  However, a hook member, which is an example of a hanging member of a clothes dryer, such as a duck or wall towel towel, is displaced horizontally from the center of gravity of the clothes dryer, such as a duck or wall towel towel. When hooked to the hooked part of the hanging part, not only the load of the clothes dryer but also the load of the dried object acts on the fitting shaft part of the hook member fitted to the bearing part of the clothes drying body. In addition, if an improper operating force or impact force is applied to this by the person, the locking portion may be elastically deformed to the reduced diameter side within the groove width range of the groove portion and fall out of the bearing hole of the bearing portion. .

  Therefore, conventionally, a reduced diameter regulating body that regulates elastic deformation of the engaging portion toward the reduced diameter side by fitting into the groove of the fitting shaft portion at the tip of the fitting shaft portion of the hook member is thin. There has been proposed a clothes dryer integrally formed through a hinge portion (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 55-32076

  In the conventional clothes dryer, the distal end of the diameter reducing restricting body is merely held by the frictional force pressed against one inner surface of the groove portion of the fitting shaft portion, and the base end of the diameter reducing restricting body The elastic restoring force of the hinge part that connects the tip of the fitting shaft part easily acts as a pull-out force of the diameter-reducing body, and further, the whole diameter-reducing body is exposed to the outside. There is a possibility that the body may be caught with other objects, and as a result, the opportunity for the diameter-reducing restriction body to come out from the groove of the fitting shaft part increases, and the diameter-reducing prevention function of the locking part is caused by the occurrence of the withdrawal of the diameter-reducing restriction body. If the use is continued in a state where the loss has occurred, there is a possibility that the bearing portion of the clothes drying body falls off from the fitting shaft portion of the hook member.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described actual situation, and its main problem is to simplify the diameter reduction control operation for the fitting shaft portion of the latching member fitted to the bearing portion of the clothes drying body. It is in the point which provides the clothes-drying machine which can suppress the loss of a diameter reduction control function, aiming.

According to a first characteristic configuration of the present invention, a fitting shaft portion of a latching member is rotatably fitted and mounted on a cylindrical bearing portion of a clothes drying main body, and the bearing is fitted to the fitting shaft portion of the latching member. A locking portion that can be locked in a retaining state at the edge of the portion and a groove portion that allows a diameter reduction due to elastic deformation of the locking portion to an outer diameter that can pass through the bearing hole of the bearing portion are formed. A clothes dryer,
In the groove portion of the fitting shaft portion, a mounting portion for a diameter-reducing regulating member having a length smaller than the inner diameter of the bearing hole that regulates elastic deformation of the locking portion toward the diameter-reducing side is formed, and the bearing The part is formed with an insertion hole through which the diameter-reducing regulating member is inserted from the radially outer side with respect to the mounting portion of the groove portion of the fitting shaft portion.

  According to the above configuration, by pressing the fitting shaft portion of the latching member against the bearing portion of the clothes drying body, the elastic restoring force of the locking portion when passing through the bearing hole of the bearing portion is utilized. The said latching | locking part can be latched and latched to the edge of a bearing part.

  In this fitted state, the locking portion of the bearing portion can be obtained simply by inserting the diameter-reducing regulating member from the radially outer side into the mounting portion of the groove portion of the fitting shaft portion through the insertion hole formed in the bearing portion. Can be prevented from elastically deforming toward the reduced diameter in the groove width range.

  In addition, since the diameter-reducing restriction member is configured to have a length smaller than the inner diameter of the bearing hole of the bearing portion, the diameter-reducing restriction member protrudes to the insertion hole side when inserted into the mounting portion of the groove portion. Therefore, the relative rotation between the fitting shaft portion of the latching member and the bearing portion of the clothes drying body is not hindered, and further, the relative rotation causes the insertion hole of the bearing portion and the groove portion of the fitting shaft portion. There is less chance of matching with the mounting portion, and the probability that an external force in the extraction direction acts on the diameter-reducing regulating member in the matched state is further reduced.

  Therefore, since the diameter-reducing member is only pushed from the outside in the radial direction through the insertion hole of the bearing portion, the diameter-reducing operation for the fitting shaft portion of the latching member fitted to the bearing portion of the clothes drying body is performed. In addition, since the insertion hole of the bearing portion and the mounting portion of the groove portion of the fitting shaft portion coincide with each other, the probability that an external force in the extraction direction acts on the diameter-reducing regulating member is extremely small. It is possible to effectively suppress the loss of the diameter reducing function by the diameter reducing regulating member.

  A second characteristic configuration according to the present invention is that the insertion hole is formed at one place in the circumferential direction of the bearing portion.

  According to the above configuration, the chance that the one insertion hole formed in the bearing portion matches the mounting portion of the groove portion of the fitting shaft portion is further reduced, and the insertion hole is relatively in the diameter direction of the bearing portion. As in the case where it is formed at two locations facing each other, the pushing force of the diameter-reducing regulating member through one insertion hole does not act as a force for pulling out the diameter-reducing regulating member into the other insertion hole. Since only the pushing force of the diameter-reducing restriction member can be easily applied through the two insertion holes, loss of the diameter-reducing restriction function due to the withdrawal of the diameter-reducing restriction member can be more effectively suppressed.

  A third characteristic configuration according to the present invention is that the mounting portion is composed of recesses formed on both side edges of the groove portion at a facing interval larger than the groove width of the groove portion of the fitting shaft portion. .

  According to the above-described configuration, when the diameter-reducing regulating member is inserted into the concave portion of the mounting portion formed on both side edges of the groove portion, the opposing interval between the both concave portions is larger than the groove width of the groove portion. The member does not move in the groove portion, and the diameter reduction regulating function by the diameter reduction regulating member can be surely exhibited.

  A fourth characteristic configuration according to the present invention is that an outer diameter of the reduced diameter regulating member is formed to be the same as or slightly larger than the inner diameter of the insertion hole.

  According to the above configuration, when the reduced diameter regulating member is inserted into the mounting portion of the groove portion of the fitting shaft portion from outside in the radial direction through the insertion hole formed in the bearing portion, the reduced diameter regulating member is the groove portion. Therefore, the removal movement of the diameter reduction regulating member can be effectively suppressed.

In the posture, a space for storing the central support member 1, the hook member 11, and the mounting base 12 can be easily exposed between the opposing surfaces of the clothes-drying frame 2.

  As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, the plan view in the unfolded posture is shown over the inner surface of both long-side frame portions 2A and the inner side surface of the short-side frame portions 2B of both the clothes-drying frame bodies 2 in a plan view. A reinforcing rib 7 that is continuous in a letter shape is integrally formed, and a suspended connecting body 47 of the pinch P is swingably locked to a pinch mounting portion of the reinforcing rib 7 corresponding to the short side frame portion 2B. A semicircular mounting ring 8 to be held is integrally formed, and a suspended coupling body 47 of the pinch P is attached to a pinch mounting portion of the both side rails 3 that is located on the lower side in the folded posture. A semi-circular mounting ring 8 is integrally formed so as to be swingably locked.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 9 to 11, when the both clothes-drying frame 2 is in the folded posture, the hook member 11 can enter between the opposing surfaces of the reinforcing rib 7 on the short side frame portion 2 </ b> B side. A space is formed.

  As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 6 to FIG. 8, from the region where the first drying basket 3 overlaps with the central portion in the longitudinal direction of the central support member 1 in a state where the both clothes drying frame 2 is in the folded posture. A center area 3a that is set to be the same width as the center area 3a of the first recumbent ridge 3 out of the center area 3a that is slightly wider The side that is farther from the central support member 1 than the both end regions 3b of the first and second horizontal ridges 3 that are continuous with the two long-side frame portions 2A of the clothes-drying frame 2 in the folded posture (lower surface side in the unfolded posture) And the cross-sectional shapes of the central region 3a and the two end regions 3b of the first and second horizontal ribs 3 are the same or substantially the same ellipse, and the first and second The pinch P is suspended and supported in the central region 3a and both end regions 3b of the reed 3. With ring 8 is disposed.

  And, as described above, the central region 3a of the first and second recumbent ribs 3 is bent and formed on the side farther from the central support member 1 than the both end regions 3b continuous therewith in the folded posture. 12, in the folded position, the central support member 1, the hook member 11, and the mounting base 12 are stored between the opposing surfaces of the central region 3a of the first and second horizontal rails 3 of the clothes-drying frame body 2. The space for doing this can be revealed, and the drying frame 2 can be made compact in the folded position.

  In addition, since the cross-sectional shapes of the central region 3a and both end regions 3b of the first and second horizontal ridges 3 are configured to be the same or substantially the same elliptical shape, the first and second of the clothes frame 2 While the space for storing the central support member 1 appears between the opposing surfaces of the central region 3a of the horizontal bar 3, it is possible to avoid a decrease in strength of the clothes-drying frame 2.

  Further, the central region 3a of the first and second horizontal ridges 3 protrudes downward in the horizontal hanging state in use when both the clothes-drying frames 2 are in the deployed posture. The pinch P disposed in the center region 3a of the two horizontal rails 3 is positioned so as to protrude downward from the pinch P disposed in the both end region 3b of the first and second horizontal rails 3, and the both clothes drying frames The pinch P located on the center side of the body 2 can be easily handled.

  As shown in FIG. 1 and FIGS. 6 to 8, the intermediate side region 4 a that is continuous with the central region 3 a of the horizontal bar 3 in both vertical bars 4 is a short-side frame part of the clothes-line frame 2 in the folded position. 2B is bent and formed on the side farther from the hook member 11 than the end region 4b of the vertical shaft 4 (the lower surface side in the unfolded position), and the intermediate region 4a and both ends of the vertical shaft 4 The cross-sectional shape of the region 4b is the same or substantially the same elliptical shape.

  Then, as described above, the both vertical baskets 4 are arranged in a posture (an example of a crossing posture) orthogonal to the short side frame portion 2B of the both clothes drying frame 2 and the first and second horizontal rails 3. The intermediate region 4a of the vertical rod 4 that is continuous with the central region 3a of the first and second horizontal rails 3 is formed in the first and second horizontal frames while being integrally formed to increase the mechanical strength of the clothes drying frame 2. Since it is bent and formed in the same direction as the central region 3a of the basket 3, as shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. A space for storing the central support member 1, the hook member 11, and the mounting base 12 between the opposing surfaces of the central region 3 a and between the opposing surfaces of the intermediate side regions 4 a of both vertical rods 4 is more easily revealed. It is possible to fold both clothes drying frames 2 in a compact form.

  And since the cross-sectional shape of the intermediate | middle side area | region 4a and the both-ends part area | region 4b of both said vertical baskets 4 is comprised by the same or substantially the same ellipse, the intermediate | middle side area | region of both vertical baskets 4 of both clothes-drying frame 2 While the space for storing the hook member 11 and the mounting base 12 appears between the opposing surfaces of 4a, it is possible to avoid a decrease in strength of the clothes drying frame body 2.

  The cross-sectional shape of the first and second reeds 3 and the cross-sectional shape of the both reeds 4 are the center region 3a of the first and second reeds 3 and the intermediate region 4a of both reeds 4 The cross-sectional shape of both the long side frame part 2A and the short side frame part 2B of the both clothes-drying frame body 2 is configured to be elliptical or substantially elliptical with the bending direction being a long axis. The central region 3a of the first and second horizontal rods 3 and the intermediate region 4a of both vertical rods 4 are formed in an elliptical shape or a substantially elliptical shape having a long axis.

  Therefore, not only can the mechanical strength against external forces such as bending and twisting of the both clothes-drying frame body 2 be improved, but both the clothes-drying frame body 2, both the horizontal rods 3 and both the vertical rods 4 are partitioned. The first to third storage spaces S1 to S3 can be configured to be large, and the storage and the like of the pinch P in the folded posture can be advantageously configured.

Next, the configuration of the central support member 1, the hook member 11, and the mounting base 12 will be described in detail.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 13 to 15, on both side surfaces of the central support member 1, guide portions 10 that form an arcuate guide path positioned upward toward the center in the longitudinal direction are formed. In the guide portion 10 of the central support member 1, the mounting base 12 is in a state in which the posture of the hook member 11 is gradually inclined from the vertical posture to the forward leaning posture as the arcuate guide path moves from the high position to the low position. A position lock for selectively holding the mounting base 12 at a plurality of positions on the arcuate guide path between the central support member 1 and the mounting base 12. Means C are provided.

  The guide portion 10 is configured to have a length capable of forming a position changing region R1 of the mounting base 12 in the arcuate guide path and a mounting region R2 of the mounting base 12 with respect to the central support member 1. A movement range restricting means D for restricting the movement range of the mounting base 12 mounted in the mounting region R2 of the guide part 10 to the position changing region R1 of the guide part 10 is provided.

  The position change region R1 of the guide portion 10 is formed from the longitudinal center side of the central support member 1 to one end side, in other words, from the longitudinal direction one end side of the central support member 1 to other than the longitudinal center position. The mounting region R2 of the guide portion 10 is formed from the center side in the longitudinal direction of the central support member 1 to the other end side, in other words, in the range up to a portion slightly beyond the end side. The support member 1 is formed in a range slightly before the center position in the longitudinal direction from one end side in the longitudinal direction.

  In the present embodiment, the position change region R1 and the mounting region R2 are formed so as to slightly overlap, but the mounting region R2 is necessary only when the mounting base 12 is mounted. In addition, since the mounting area R2 guides the mounted mounting base 12 to move, no problem occurs even if the position changing area R1 and the mounting area R2 partially overlap.

  However, as described above, the guide portion 10 is formed by substantially distributing and forming the both sides of the central support member 1 formed in the arch shape into the position change region R1 and the mounting region R2 of the guide portion 10 as a boundary. Can be configured separately based on the position change guide function required for the position change region R1 and the mounting function required for the mounting region R2, and the guide of the mounting base 12 can be smoothly and easily assembled. Can be achieved.

  The guide portion 10 includes an annular protrusion 10a formed in an elliptical shape that is curved in an arc shape along an arc-shaped guide path on both side surfaces of the central support member 1, and a circle defined by the annular protrusion 10a. In addition to the arcuate guide groove 10b, a notch 10c that allows mounting from above the mounting base 12 is formed in the mounting region R2 of the upper protrusion of the annular protrusion 10a. .

  The center support member 1 can be reinforced by the annular protrusion 10a that constitutes the guide groove 10b, and the mounting base 12 can be made smooth by simply forming the notch 10c in a part of the annular protrusion 10a. A mounting region R2 that can be mounted can be configured.

  As shown in FIGS. 13 to 15, the lower side portion 12 </ b> A of the mounting base 12 is configured in a bifurcated shape having a substantially inverted T shape in a side view that can be externally attached to the central support member 1. An arcuate fitting sliding portion 12B that slidably fits along the arcuate guide grooves 10b of the two guide portions 10 is inwardly stretched on the opposing inner side surfaces of the bifurcated lower side portion 12A. The length along the arcuate guide path of the fitting sliding part 12B is larger than the fitting width in the vertical direction of the arcuate guide groove 10b of the guide part 10 while being integrally formed in a protruding state. And it is comprised in the dimension a little smaller than the guide path | route length in the lower end part of the said bifurcated lower side part 12A.

  An oval through-hole 12 </ b> C that penetrates in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the central support member 1 (long side direction of the clothes dryer) is formed on the upper portion of the attachment base 12 of the clothes drying body B. In addition, a cylindrical bearing portion 12D for rotatably fitting and supporting the lower end side fitting shaft portion 11C of the hook member 11 is provided at the upper end portion of the mounting base 12 with a lower portion thereof. It is integrally formed so as to protrude into the oval through hole 12C.

  The hook member 11 is provided with a main hook portion 11A configured in an inverted U shape and an inverted L-shaped sub hook portion 11B integrally formed on the back surface of the main hook portion 11A. A rubber coating layer 11d for preventing slippage is formed in a region extending from the left and right side surfaces of the main hook portion 11A of the hook member 11 to the inner side surface constituting the hooking surface, and the left and right sides of the sub hook portion 11B. An anti-slip rubber coating layer 11e is also formed in a region extending from the side surface to the inner side surface constituting the retaining surface.

  The fitting shaft portion 11C at the lower end portion of the main hook portion 11A is secured to the periphery of the bearing hole 12d at the lower end surface of the cylindrical bearing portion 12D formed at the upper end portion of the mounting base 12. A locking portion 11b that can be locked, and a slit-like shape for reducing the diameter of the locking portion 11b against an elastic restoring force to an outer diameter that can pass through the bearing hole 12d of the bearing portion 12D. The groove portion 11a is integrally formed, and the locking portion 11b is expanded by an elastic restoring force immediately after passing through the bearing hole 12d, and is locked to the peripheral edge of the bearing hole 12d on the lower end surface of the bearing portion 12D in a retaining state. As a result, the fitting shaft portion 11C of the hook member 11 is fitted and held on the bearing portion 12D of the mounting base 12 so as to be rotatable around the longitudinal axis so as to be prevented from coming off.

And as shown in FIGS. 13-15, the retaining means 13 which prevents the diameter reduction of the fitting shaft part 11C of the hook member 11 fitted and held by the bearing part 12D of the said mounting base 12 is provided. Yes.
The retaining means 13 is a pair of arcuate recesses formed in a recess in the inner surfaces of the upper and lower intermediate portions of the groove portion 11a of the fitting shaft portion 11C so as to face each other at an interval larger than the width of the groove portion 11a. By inserting and mounting in close contact over a mounting portion 13A composed of 13a, an insertion hole 13B formed through one place in the circumferential direction of the bearing portion 12D corresponding to the mounting portion 13A, and both concave portions 13a of the mounting portion 13A It is composed of a pin with a circular cross section or a shaft-shaped synthetic resin-made reduced diameter regulating member 13C that prevents elastic deformation of the locking portion 11b toward the reduced diameter side.

  Both concave portions 13a of the mounting portion 13A are formed with a perfect mounting hole by using a part of the groove portion 11a, and the inner diameter of the mounting hole and the outer diameter of the reduced diameter regulating member 13C are configured to be the same diameter. Has been.

  The reduced diameter restricting member 13C is formed to have a length smaller than the inner diameter of the bearing hole 12d of the bearing portion 12D, and the reduced diameter restricting member 13C is radially outwardly passed through one insertion hole 13B of the bearing portion 12D. The relative rotation around the longitudinal axis between the fitting shaft portion 11C of the hook member 11 and the bearing portion 12D of the mounting base 12 is maintained by being pushed into the fitting portion 13A of the fitting shaft portion 11C. In this state, the locking portion 11b is prevented from falling off due to elastic deformation toward the reduced diameter side.

  Since the diameter-reducing regulating member 13C is configured to have a length smaller than the inner diameter of the bearing hole 12d of the bearing portion 12D, the reduced-diameter regulating member 13C is inserted into the mounting portion 13A of the groove portion 11a. Since it does not jump out to the insertion hole 13B side, the relative rotation between the fitting shaft portion 11C of the hook member 11 and the bearing portion 12D of the clothes drying body B is not hindered. There is less chance that the 12D insertion hole 13B and the mounting portion 13A of the fitting shaft portion 11C match, and the probability that an external force in the extraction direction will act on the reduced diameter restricting member 13C in a matched state.

  Furthermore, since the insertion hole 13B is formed at one place in the circumferential direction of the bearing portion 12D, the chance of matching this one insertion hole 13B with the mounting portion 13A of the fitting shaft portion 11C is further reduced. As in the case where the insertion hole 13B is formed at two locations opposite to each other in the diameter direction of the bearing portion 12D, the pushing force of the reduced diameter regulating member 13C through the one insertion hole 13B is applied to the other insertion hole 13B. It does not act as a pull-out force of the diameter-restriction restricting member 13C, and it is always easy to apply only the pushing force of the diameter-restriction restricting member 13C through one insertion hole 13A. It is possible to more effectively suppress the loss of the diameter reduction regulating function.

  In the movement range regulating means D, as shown in FIGS. 13 to 15, the movement range of the mounting base 12 is regulated to the position change region R <b> 1 on the bottom surface of the guide groove 10 b of the central support member 1. An arc-shaped restriction long hole 15 is formed, and the restriction long hole is formed at the center position in the arcuate guide path direction of the bifurcated lower side portion 12A and the fitting sliding portion 12B of the mounting base 12. A connecting hole 18 for mounting the connecting cylinder pin 16 with the flange 16a slidable along the inner peripheral surface 15 and the retaining pin 17 with the flange 17a for preventing and fixing the connecting cylinder pin 16 from both sides. Is formed through.

  The retaining pin 17 includes a slit 17b for reducing the diameter against an elastic restoring force to an outer diameter that can pass through the connecting tube portion 16b of the connecting tube pin 16, and a connecting tube pin 16 immediately after passing. A locking claw 17c that can be engaged in a retaining state is formed in a locking hole 16c formed in the connecting cylinder portion 16b.

  Then, in a state in which the fitting sliding portion 12B of the mounting base 12 is fitted to the guide portion 10 of the central support member 1, the connecting hole 18 of the mounting base 12 and the regulation slot 15 of the mounting base 12 are provided. Are attached to the central support member 1 with the movement range of the mounting base 12 being restricted to the position change region R1 of the guide portion 10 by fitting and mounting the connecting cylinder pin 16 and the retaining pin 17 to each other.
