Description
本発明は洗濯バサミに関し、より詳しくは、片手のみで衣類の挟持を行うことができる洗濯バサミ、及び該洗濯バサミを複数有する洗濯ハンガーに関する。
The present invention relates to clothespins, and more particularly to clothespins that can hold clothes with only one hand, and laundry hangers having a plurality of such clothespins.
従来、衣類を洗濯ハンガーで干す際は、片方の手の親指と人差指で洗濯バサミの摘み部を摘まみ、スプリング力に抗して先端部に隙間を作り、もう片方の手で濡れた衣類を摘んで、その隙間に衣類を挟み込んで固定するという作業を行っていた。
Conventionally, when drying clothes on a laundry hanger, the handle of the clothespin is pinched with the thumb and forefinger of one hand to create a gap at the tip against the force of the spring, and the wet clothes are hung with the other hand. I was doing the work of pinching and fixing the clothes in the gap.
従来のこの方法では、靴下等の小物衣類でも1カ所を固定する際にも必ず両手を使わざるを得ず、またタオルやパンツ等の幅広の衣類を広げて干す場合には、少なくとも2カ所を固定することが多いので、左右の手で洗濯物を持ち替え、複数回の固定作業が必要となるため、思いの外時間が掛かってしまうと言う欠点があった。
With this conventional method, even when fixing small articles of clothing such as socks in one place, both hands must always be used. Since it is often fixed, it is necessary to change the holding of the laundry between the left and right hands, and the fixing work is required several times, which has the disadvantage that it takes an unexpectedly long time.
この欠点を改善すべく、片手だけで衣類を固定することができる挟持具が、過去にも幾つか考案されている。それらの例では、摘み部と挟み部の距離が離れているために衣類が挟み難かったり、挟み部の中に指を挟み易い構造のために痛みや恐怖感を覚えさせるものであったり、更には構造上、挟持具の一方をハンガー等の物干し器に固定していなければならない制限があったりと、日常の使用をためらわせる欠点のあるものが多かった。
In order to improve this drawback, several clamps have been devised in the past that can fix clothing with only one hand. In these examples, it is difficult to pinch clothes due to the distance between the knob and the pinching portion, and pain and fear are felt due to the structure in which fingers are easily pinched in the pinching portion. Due to their structure, many of them had the drawback that one of the clamps had to be fixed to a clothes-drying device such as a hanger, which made them hesitant to use them on a daily basis.
本発明は、従来技術における上記問題点及び欠点を解消して、片方の手のみで洗濯物を挟持することができる洗濯バサミ及びこの洗濯バサミを用いた洗濯ハンガーを提供することを目的とする。
An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and drawbacks of the prior art, and to provide a clothespin that can hold laundry with only one hand, and a laundry hanger using the clothespin.

As shown in FIG. 5, it is desirable to provide linear grooves or small linear projections (splines) 30 on the upper surface of the plate-like body 18 to prevent slippage. Only this part can be satin finished. On the other hand, it is also desirable to provide vertical splines 32 for smooth sliding from the lower portion of plate 18 to the vicinity of contact with claw 24 .
中心棒状体14の下端部にはスプリング体20が設けられ、このスプリング体20によって一対の板状体18同士が連結される。スプリング体20としては、図示するようなバネ丁番のほか、リングバネ、トーションバネ等を用いることができる。図示するバネ丁番の場合には、板状体18から突出した突起に丁番の取付穴を嵌め、それを溶着することにより取り付けることができる。リベット等の他の公知の方法により取り付けることもできる。スプリング体20は、常態において、一対の板状体18を外側方向に常時付勢するように働く。スプリング体20によって外側方向に付勢された一対の板状体18は、図1に示すように、その表面部がアーム16の鉤爪部24に当接することによってその最大開度が決まる。最小開度はほぼ中心棒状体14の横幅(厚さ)である。
A spring body 20 is provided at the lower end of the central rod-shaped body 14, and the pair of plate-shaped bodies 18 are connected to each other by the spring body 20. As the spring body 20, in addition to the illustrated spring hinge, a ring spring, a torsion spring, or the like can be used. In the case of the illustrated spring hinge, it can be attached by fitting the attachment hole of the hinge to the protrusion protruding from the plate-like body 18 and welding it. It can also be attached by other known methods such as riveting. The spring body 20 normally acts to urge the pair of plate-like bodies 18 outward. As shown in FIG. 1, the pair of plate-like members 18 biased outward by the spring members 20 determine the maximum degree of opening by contacting the claw portions 24 of the arm 16 with the surfaces thereof. The minimum opening is approximately the lateral width (thickness) of the central rod-shaped body 14 .
図2において、矢印で示すような力が指で加えられると、一対の板状体18はその開口は狭くなるが、支点が板状体18の最下点付近にあるため、力点(指の接触部)が上部方向に行くにしたがって、小さい力で開口幅を狭めることができる。指先と洗濯物を一対の板状体18の表面上を比較的小さい力を加えながら上方に滑らせて行くと、板状体18の表面と鉤爪部24との間に特に図3(b)に明確に示される隙間40が生じ、この隙間40に洗濯物が収まったことを確認してから板状体18への指からの押力を解放すると、板状体18はスプリング体20の力によって外側方向、鉤爪部24に向かって瞬時に復帰し、洗濯物は板状体18の表面と鉤爪部24との間に確実に挟持される。
In FIG. 2, when a force indicated by an arrow is applied by a finger, the opening of the pair of plate-like bodies 18 narrows, but since the fulcrum is near the lowest point of the plate-like bodies 18, the point of force (finger The opening width can be narrowed with a small force as the contact portion moves upward. When the fingertips and the laundry are slid upward on the surfaces of the pair of plate-shaped bodies 18 while applying a relatively small force, the surface of the plate-shaped bodies 18 and the claw portion 24, especially in FIG. After confirming that the laundry has settled in this gap 40, the plate-like body 18 is released by the force of the spring body 20. As a result, the laundry is instantly held between the surface of the plate-like body 18 and the claw portion 24. As shown in FIG.
鉤爪部24、特にその先端部分に図1に示すような段差を設けることにより、その挟持力を増すことができる。必要により、鉤爪部24の表面と板状体18の表面とが僅かに噛み合うような凹凸形状とすることにより、その挟持力を更に増強することもできる。
By providing a step as shown in FIG. 1 at the claw portion 24, particularly at its tip portion, the clamping force can be increased. If necessary, the gripping force can be further enhanced by making the surface of the claw portion 24 and the surface of the plate-like body 18 slightly mesh with each other.
本発明による洗濯バサミ100を、スチール製等の枠体に20個から30個程度、チェインで吊り下げて洗濯ハンガーとし得ることは、図面で示すまでもなく、容易に理解できる。
It is easy to understand that about 20 to 30 clothespins 100 according to the present invention can be hung from a frame made of steel or the like with a chain to form a laundry hanger.
以上のとおり説明した本発明に係る洗濯バサミ100が吊り下げられた状態において、洗濯物を片手で装着する方法を説明する。洗濯物を親指と中指で掴んだ状態で洗濯バサミの下方手前側から、板状体18の弧状の凹部26にあてがう。次に奥側の板状体18上のスプライン30、またはアーム16の肩部22、もしくは鉤爪部24に人差指を掛け、親指だけで板状体18の下方端(弧状の凹部26)から上方に向けて洗濯物を滑り上げる。滑り上がるのと同時に、板状体18と鉤爪部24との間に図2及び図3(b)に表される隙間40が形成され、ここに洗濯物が入り込むことになる。このとき、板状体18に横方向に設けられた溝又はスプラインは滑り過ぎを防ぐ役目をする。隙間部40に洗濯物が入り込んだことを確認したら直ぐに洗濯バサミ100から手を離すと、板状体18と鉤爪部24との間の隙間40は瞬時に閉じて、これらの間に洗濯物が挟持されることになる。この一連の動作で、片方の手だけで洗濯物を洗濯バサミに装着することができ、他方の手は完全にフリーな状態である。
A method of attaching the laundry with one hand in a state in which the clothespins 100 according to the present invention described above are suspended will be described. While grasping the laundry with the thumb and middle finger, apply the clothespins to the arc-shaped concave portion 26 of the plate-like body 18 from the lower front side of the clothespins. Next, put your forefinger on the spline 30 on the far side plate-like body 18, or on the shoulder 22 or the claw part 24 of the arm 16, and move upward from the lower end (arc-shaped recess 26) of the plate-like body 18 only with your thumb. Slide up the laundry towards. At the same time as it slides up, a gap 40 shown in FIGS. 2 and 3B is formed between the plate-like body 18 and the claw portion 24, into which the laundry enters. At this time, grooves or splines provided in the plate-like body 18 in the lateral direction serve to prevent excessive slippage. When the clothespins 100 are released immediately after confirming that the laundry has entered the gap 40, the gap 40 between the plate-like body 18 and the claw portion 24 is instantly closed, and the laundry is caught between them. will be sandwiched. With this series of actions, the laundry can be attached to the clothespins with only one hand, leaving the other hand completely free.
次に、本発明の変形実施例に係る洗濯バサミ200について、図6乃至図9を参照しながら説明する。
Next, a clothespin 200 according to a modified embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 9. FIG.
図6は、本発明の変形実施例に係る洗濯バサミ200を示した斜視図である。また、図7及び図8は、図6に示す洗濯バサミ200の分解斜視図である。また、図9は、図6に示す洗濯バサミ200を指で押圧した時の斜視図である。図示されるように、洗濯バサミ200は、上述した洗濯バサミ100と比較して中心棒状体の省略によって洗濯バサミを構成する部品の点数が削減されており、また、肩部分60と鉤爪部61とを有するアーム62が設けられる箇所が異なっている。洗濯バサミ200の構成について説明すると、洗濯バサミ200は、連結部50を軸として扇状に開閉可能な左右一対の板状体51と、左右一対の板状体51に対して外側方向に押し広げる力を付勢するスプリング体52と、を備えている。そして、左右一対の板状体51は、対向する板状体51に向かって延伸する肩部分60と、肩部分60から延伸し、対向する板状体51の外側側面に先端部が当接する鉤爪部61と、を有するアーム62を備えている。ここで、図6乃至図9においては、左右一対の板状体51の夫々がアーム62を備えているが、左右一対の板状体51の一方がアーム62を備えるように構成しても良い。また、図6乃至図9においては、肩部分60が板状体51の上端部から延伸しているが、肩部分60が延伸し始める箇所(付け根)は、板状体51の上端部に限定されない。また、図6乃至図9においては、鉤爪部61が肩部分60の先端から延伸しているが、鉤爪部61が延伸し始める箇所は肩部分60の先端に限定されない。また、肩部分60と鉤爪部61とは形状的に明確に区別される必要はなく、例えば、円弧状に一体的に形成されて良い。
FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing clothespins 200 according to a modified embodiment of the present invention. 7 and 8 are exploded perspective views of the clothespin 200 shown in FIG. 9 is a perspective view when the clothespins 200 shown in FIG. 6 are pressed with a finger. As shown in the figure, the clothespin 200 has a reduced number of parts constituting the clothespin by omitting the central rod-like body compared to the clothespin 100 described above, and also has a shoulder portion 60 and a claw portion 61 . The point at which the arm 62 having the is provided is different. Describing the configuration of the clothespin 200, the clothespin 200 includes a pair of left and right plate-shaped bodies 51 that can be opened and closed in a fan shape about the connecting portion 50, and a force that pushes the pair of left and right plate-shaped bodies 51 outward. and a spring body 52 that biases the The pair of left and right plate-shaped bodies 51 includes a shoulder portion 60 extending toward the opposing plate-shaped bodies 51, and a claw extending from the shoulder portion 60 and having a tip end contacting the outer side surface of the opposing plate-shaped body 51. and an arm 62 having a portion 61 . Here, in FIGS. 6 to 9 , each of the pair of left and right plate-like bodies 51 has the arm 62 , but one of the pair of left and right plate-like bodies 51 may have the arm 62 . . 6 to 9, the shoulder portion 60 extends from the upper end of the plate-like body 51, but the point (base) where the shoulder portion 60 starts to extend is limited to the upper end of the plate-like body 51. not. 6 to 9, the claw portion 61 extends from the tip of the shoulder portion 60, but the point where the claw portion 61 begins to extend is not limited to the tip of the shoulder portion 60. FIG. Moreover, the shoulder portion 60 and the claw portion 61 do not need to be clearly distinguished in terms of shape, and may be integrally formed in an arc shape, for example.
なお、例えばアーム62の横幅に応じて、二つのアーム62が互い違いにズレた位置に設けられる構造とすれば、同一形状の板状体51でありながら、アーム62同士が接触することなく組み合わせて一対とすることができる。これにより、左右で別々の形状の板状体51を用意する必要がなくなり、製造コストが削減できる他、加工や組み立てが容易となる。
For example, if the two arms 62 are provided at positions staggered according to the width of the arms 62, the plates 51 having the same shape can be combined without the arms 62 coming into contact with each other. can be paired. This eliminates the need to prepare plate-like bodies 51 having different shapes for the left and right sides, thereby reducing manufacturing costs and facilitating processing and assembly.
また、図示されるように、一方の肩部分60の付け根に開口73を設けて、他方の肩部分60を該開口73に通す(挿通する)ことで、二つの肩部分60を一体的に(例えば、二つの肩部分60が重なるように、あるいは、二つの肩部分60が同軸となるように)構成することができる。このような構成とすることにより、以下のような作用乃至効果が得られる。
(1)省スペース化
洗濯バサミ200が小型化されて容積が少なくなるため、運搬や販売時に狭いスペースで多くの製品を置くことができる。
(2)洗濯物を挟持する際に親指をスライドさせやすい
アーム62の先端が垂直に下りてきているため、親指をスライドさせやすい。例えば、二つのアーム62を左右にずらして配置する形態では、洗濯物を挟んで親指を上方向にスライドさせる際、アーム62の横幅が広かったり、アーム62の先端が斜めに下りてきているせいで、親指とぶつかってしまったり、スライドを邪魔してしまう可能性がある。
(3)強度が増す
凹凸の少ないシンプルな形になっているため、ハンガーや他の洗濯バサミ200、接触する他のものに引っ掛かることが少なくなり、破損する機会・可能性の減少に繋がる。また、二つのアーム62が相互に補強しあう形になっているため、二つのアーム62に外力を分散させることができ、強度が増す。
(4)加工しやすい
凹凸の少ないシンプルな形になっているため、加工がしやすい。
(5)変形しにくい
連結部50とアーム62とで、左右一対の板状体51のねじれを抑止することができる。なお、従来の洗濯バサミと比較すると、従来の洗濯バサミは左右の部品を固定する箇所が連結部しかないために親指と人差し指で押圧した場合にわずかにねじれが生じることが多く、これにより破損・故障の機会の増加につながっていたが、連結部50とアーム62とで左右一対の板状体51のねじれを抑止する構成とすることで、こうした課題が解決される。
(6)風による揺れが抑制される
空気抵抗が生じる表面積が小さくなるため、風による洗濯バサミ200の揺れが抑制され、洗濯バサミ200を枠体に吊り下げて使用する場合などにおける洗濯物のスムーズな装着操作に寄与することができる。 Also, as shown in the figure, anopening 73 is provided at the base of one shoulder portion 60, and the other shoulder portion 60 is passed (inserted) through the opening 73, so that the two shoulder portions 60 are integrated ( For example, the two shoulder portions 60 may overlap, or the two shoulder portions 60 may be coaxial). With such a configuration, the following functions and effects can be obtained.
(1) Space Saving Since theclothespins 200 are miniaturized and have a reduced volume, many products can be placed in a small space during transportation and sales.
(2) It is easy to slide the thumb when pinching the laundry Since the tip of thearm 62 is vertically lowered, it is easy to slide the thumb. For example, in the configuration in which the two arms 62 are arranged to be shifted to the left and right, when the thumb is slid upward while sandwiching the laundry, the width of the arm 62 is wide or the tip of the arm 62 is inclined downward. So, you may bump your thumb or interfere with the slide.
(3) Increased strength Since it has a simple shape with few irregularities, it is less likely to get caught on hangers,other clothespins 200, or other objects that come into contact with it, leading to a reduction in the chance and possibility of breakage. In addition, since the two arms 62 are mutually reinforcing, the external force can be distributed to the two arms 62, increasing the strength.
(4) Easy to process Because it has a simple shape with few unevenness, it is easy to process.
(5) Resistant to Deformation Twisting of the pair of left and right plate-like bodies 51 can be suppressed by the connecting portion 50 and the arm 62 . In addition, compared to conventional clothespins, conventional clothespins have only a joint where the left and right parts are fixed, so when pressed with the thumb and forefinger, it often twists slightly, resulting in damage or damage. Although this leads to an increase in the chance of failure, such a problem can be solved by adopting a configuration in which the connecting portion 50 and the arm 62 suppress the twisting of the pair of left and right plate-like bodies 51 .
(6) Swaying due to wind is suppressed Since the surface area where air resistance is generated is reduced, the swinging of theclothespins 200 due to the wind is suppressed, and the laundry is smooth when the clothespins 200 are hung from the frame. It can contribute to a simple wearing operation.
(1)省スペース化
洗濯バサミ200が小型化されて容積が少なくなるため、運搬や販売時に狭いスペースで多くの製品を置くことができる。
(2)洗濯物を挟持する際に親指をスライドさせやすい
アーム62の先端が垂直に下りてきているため、親指をスライドさせやすい。例えば、二つのアーム62を左右にずらして配置する形態では、洗濯物を挟んで親指を上方向にスライドさせる際、アーム62の横幅が広かったり、アーム62の先端が斜めに下りてきているせいで、親指とぶつかってしまったり、スライドを邪魔してしまう可能性がある。
(3)強度が増す
凹凸の少ないシンプルな形になっているため、ハンガーや他の洗濯バサミ200、接触する他のものに引っ掛かることが少なくなり、破損する機会・可能性の減少に繋がる。また、二つのアーム62が相互に補強しあう形になっているため、二つのアーム62に外力を分散させることができ、強度が増す。
(4)加工しやすい
凹凸の少ないシンプルな形になっているため、加工がしやすい。
(5)変形しにくい
連結部50とアーム62とで、左右一対の板状体51のねじれを抑止することができる。なお、従来の洗濯バサミと比較すると、従来の洗濯バサミは左右の部品を固定する箇所が連結部しかないために親指と人差し指で押圧した場合にわずかにねじれが生じることが多く、これにより破損・故障の機会の増加につながっていたが、連結部50とアーム62とで左右一対の板状体51のねじれを抑止する構成とすることで、こうした課題が解決される。
(6)風による揺れが抑制される
空気抵抗が生じる表面積が小さくなるため、風による洗濯バサミ200の揺れが抑制され、洗濯バサミ200を枠体に吊り下げて使用する場合などにおける洗濯物のスムーズな装着操作に寄与することができる。 Also, as shown in the figure, an

なお、参照符号70で示されるように、洗濯バサミ200を手に持って力を加える際に奥側の中指(若しくは薬指)の先端が嵌まる程度の大きさの窪み(凹み)を板状体51の下部中央に設けることができる。これにより、手と洗濯バサミ200とが上下にズレる(ブレる)ことを抑制することができる。
In addition, as indicated by reference numeral 70, a plate-like body is provided with a recess (recess) that is large enough for the tip of the middle finger (or ring finger) on the far side to fit when the clothespins 200 are held and force is applied. It can be provided in the lower center of 51 . As a result, it is possible to prevent the hand and the clothespins 200 from slipping up and down.
また、参照符号71で示されるように、アーム62の少なくとも一方に、吊り下げ用のチェイン等が取り付けられる吊り下げ用の穴71を設けることができる。これにより、枠体に複数個の洗濯バサミ200を吊り下げて、洗濯ハンガーとすることができる。
Further, as indicated by reference numeral 71, at least one of the arms 62 can be provided with a suspension hole 71 to which a suspension chain or the like is attached. As a result, a plurality of clothespins 200 can be suspended from the frame to form a laundry hanger.
また、参照符号72で示されるように、鉤爪部61の先端部の形状に応じた窪み(凹み)を板状体51の中央部に設けることができる。これにより、挟持力・摩擦力を高めることができる。
Further, as indicated by reference numeral 72 , a recess (recess) corresponding to the shape of the tip of the claw portion 61 can be provided in the central portion of the plate-like body 51 . As a result, the clamping force and frictional force can be increased.
