Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a dryer stand device used when the dryer is installed above other equipment such as a washing machine.

[Technical background of the invention]

A conventional dryer stand device has hollow cylindrical receivers that protrude forward fixed to the upper ends of two pillars, and hollow cylindrical receivers that can be slid back and forth on these receivers. The dryer is installed on the shelf board that is bridged between the shelf receivers by inserting the cylindrical shelf receivers. In other words, since the depth of the dryer differs depending on the capacity, by moving the shelf support back and forth, the front edge of the front shelf board and the front of the dryer are positioned flush, and the support for the column is adjusted. By fixing the dryer to the body, even if the depth of the dryer changes, the space above can be used effectively and the dryer can be installed in the most user-friendly manner.

[Problems with background technology]

However, such a conventional structure requires a large amount of material because the receiving body and the shelf receiving body overlap each other, and has the disadvantage that the structure is complicated and difficult to manufacture, and the cost is generally high.

[Purpose of invention]

The present invention was developed in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to have a very simple structure that can be adjusted according to various conditions such as the installation conditions of the washing machine and the depth dimension of the dryer. For dryers, it is possible to make effective use of the space above and install it in the most user-friendly condition, and it also requires less materials and is easy to manufacture, resulting in a large overall cost reduction. There is a stand to provide equipment.

[Summary of the idea]

The present invention is provided with a column having legs at the lower end, and a dryer mounting portion which is formed into a U-shaped cross section with an open lower surface and whose rear part is fixed substantially horizontally so as to cover the upper end of the column. By selectively using the multiple mounting holes provided at the rear of the dryer mounting section and adjusting the position back and forth according to the depth of the dryer, the upper space can be made more effective. It is characterized by being able to be installed in the most user-friendly condition by utilizing it, and at the same time, it is possible to save materials and facilitate production, thereby reducing production costs.

[Example of idea]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Reference numerals 1 and 1 designate two lower supports, each of which has legs 2 and 2 that protrude forward at the lower end and are fixed, for example, by screws, and these extend along the length of a rectangular plate at a predetermined interval. By bending each of the plates at right angles in the same direction at four points, it is formed into a hollow cylindrical shape with a rectangular cross section (see Figure 2) in which the plates are overlapped back and forth at the rear part. The eyelet 3 maintains the close contact between the two. 4, 4 is the lower support column 1, 1
A rectangular hollow cylindrical upper support that is inserted into the inner periphery of the cylinder so that it can be raised and lowered.These are manufactured by bending a plate material into a rectangular cross section and butt welding both ends together, as shown in Figure 2. . A plurality of screw holes 5 are provided in a row at a predetermined interval vertically on the rear surface of each of the upper struts 4, and a space a is provided longitudinally on the left and right sides of the upper end. Two screw holes are provided in each. 7, 7 are reinforcing plates for connecting the lower supports 1, 1, each one end of which is fixed to the lower part of the lower supports 1, 1 with screws 8, 8, and these reinforcing plates 7, The middle parts of the parts 7 are intersected and connected to each other by screws 9. Reference numeral 10 denotes through holes formed at the upper ends of the reinforcing plates 7, 7, and through holes 11 are formed at the rear surfaces of the lower supports 1, 1, that is, at the overlapping portions, facing these through holes 10. There is. 12, 12 are through holes 10, 11
By tightening the screws 12, 12, the upper ends of the reinforcing plates 7, 7 are attached to the lower supports 1, 1. and at the same time the upper struts 4, 4
are positioned and fixed to the lower struts 1,1. By selecting the screw holes 5 into which the screws 12, 12 are inserted, the protruding length of the upper struts 4, 4 from the lower struts 1, 1 is adjusted. Reference numerals 13 and 13 designate a receiving member as a dryer mounting portion having a U-shaped cross section with an open bottom surface, and a plurality of, for example, four, mounting holes 14 are drilled at the left and right sides of the rear portion thereof, respectively, at intervals of a. The receiving member 13 is placed so as to cover the upper ends of the upper supports 4, 4, and a screw 15 is inserted from the rear through the first and second mounting holes 14 as shown in FIG. By screwing them into the holes 6, they are positioned in the front and back relative to the upper support 4 and are fixed substantially horizontally. 16 is a shelf board having an L-shaped cross section, and 17 is a flat shelf board, which are bridged by screwing both ends to the front ends and intermediate parts of the left and right receiving members 13. A washing machine 18 is installed on the floor between the legs 2, 2, and a dryer 19 having a depth of A, for example, is installed on the shelf boards 16, 17 above the washing machine 18. In this case, the dryer 19 is connected to the screw insertion holes 16 and 17 provided in the shelf boards 16 and 17.
The front surface of the dryer 19 is substantially flush with the front edge of the shelf board 16. In this case, the rear surface of the dryer 19 projects backward by a dimension b from the rear surface of the upper support column 4 as shown in FIG. When the washing machine 18 and the legs 2, 2 are placed in the pan, the protrusions exist around the washing machine pan, so even when the lower support columns 1, 1 are brought closest to the room wall, the lower support columns 1, 1 are placed as close as possible to the room wall. 1, 1, so that even when the dryer 19 protrudes backward by the dimension b from the rear surface of the upper support column 4, the rear surface of the dryer 19 is in close contact with the room wall. It can be installed in a

On the other hand, when installing a dryer 20 having a smaller depth than the dryer 19, for example, a depth B, screws 15 are inserted into the third and fourth mounting holes 14 from the rear as shown in FIG. By screwing into the screw hole 6 through the screw hole 6, the rear end of the receiving member 13 is positioned with respect to the upper support 4 with a dimension 2a protruding from the rear surface of the upper support 4, and is fixed substantially horizontally. . The dryer 20 is installed on the shelf boards 16 and 17 bridged between the receiving members 13 and 13 so that its front surface is substantially flush with the front edge of the shelf board 16. In this case, the rear end of the receiving member 13 protrudes by a dimension 2a from the rear surface of the upper support column 4, but since the dimension 2a is set in advance to be approximately equal to the dimension b, the receiving member 13 ,13
The rear end can be brought into close contact with the chamber wall or very close to it, and the amount of forward protrusion of the receiving members 13, 13 can be reduced by a dimension 2a compared to the state shown in FIG. The dryer 20 has a receiving member 13 on the rear side,
Although the dryer 20 is located forward of the rear end of the dryer 13 and there is a gap between it and the chamber wall, the installation position is lower than when the dryer 20 is installed on the receiving members 13, 13 set as shown in FIG. can be moved backward by a dimension of 2a, so
Accordingly, the vertical overlap with the washing machine 18 can be reduced. By reducing the vertical overlap with the washing machine 18 in this way, even if the installation height of the dryer 20 is lowered, the lid on the top of the washing machine 18 can be opened and closed, making it easy to take in and take out laundry. , it is possible to fully utilize the installation advantage of the dryer 20 having a small depth dimension.

Assuming that the receiving member 13 cannot be adjusted to move back and forth relative to the upper support 4, the structure would be much simpler than the conventional structure, but the dryer 1
Regardless of whether dryer 9 or 20 is installed, the front position is constant, and in the case of the dryer 20 with depth dimension B, there will be a large gap between the rear surface and the chamber wall, and the depth dimension will be Although the characteristics of the small dryer 20 cannot be utilized at all, and the space above the washing machine 18 cannot be utilized effectively, the above-mentioned embodiment has a very simple structure, but the receiving member 13 Since it is fixed to the upper support 4 while adjusting its position forward and backward, the washing machine can be adjusted according to various conditions such as the installation conditions of the washing machine 18 and the depth dimension of the dryer installed above the washing machine 18. The space above the machine 18 can be effectively utilized and the machine 18 can be installed in the most convenient manner.

Further, according to the above structure, since the receiving members 13 as the dryer mounting portion are each composed of a single member having a U-shaped cross section, a cylindrical receiving member and a shelf receiving member each having a rectangular cross section are used. Unlike the conventional structure in which the shelves are stacked one on top of the other and the shelf receivers are slid back and forth, there is no double overlapping part, which greatly reduces the amount of material required and lowers the material cost. Manufacturing is also easier because there are no sliding parts.

In the above configuration, the upper support 4 is vertically adjustable with respect to the lower support 1, but it is not necessarily necessary to make the upper support 4 vertically adjustable, and a single support may be used.

[Effect of idea]

As is clear from the above description, the present invention is provided with a column having legs at the lower end, which is formed into a U-shaped cross section with an open lower surface, and whose rear part covers the upper end of the column and is fixed approximately horizontally. A dryer mounting section is provided, and the position can be adjusted back and forth according to the depth dimension of the dryer by selectively using a plurality of mounting holes provided at the rear of the dryer mounting section. Therefore, although the structure is simple, it can be adjusted according to various conditions such as the installation conditions of the washing machine and the depth dimension of the dryer, making effective use of the upper space and making it the most user-friendly. It is possible to provide a stand device for a dryer that can be installed in any position, requires less materials, is easy to manufacture, and can significantly reduce costs overall.
