Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention mainly relates to a hanger for forcibly drying cloth products such as towels using heat.

(Prior art) Hangers are generally used to dry cloth products such as towels and dishcloths, but since these hangers were originally intended for natural drying, it took a long time to completely dry the items on which they were hung. It takes.
Therefore, for example, in the case of items such as towels that are used repeatedly in a short period of time, it will be unsightly if the next user uses it and it still leaks, and in cold regions, the cloth items that are hung may freeze. If you do so, it may be of no use, and if it is placed in a place that is not particularly exposed to sunlight,
It becomes unhygienic when dirt or germs adhere to it.

(Purpose) In view of these points, the present invention aims to provide a thermal drying hanger that dries hung items in a short time and keeps these items hygienic.

(Structure) In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention includes a hanger body formed by bending a pipe, and a temperature range of the pipe surface of the hanger body suitable for drying cloth products such as towels. This hanger is characterized in that it includes a heat source that raises the temperature to a certain temperature, and a mounting member that supports the end of the hanger main body and is fixed to a wall surface or the like.

(Example) The present invention will be explained in detail below based on the illustrated example.

1 to 3 show a thermal drying hanger according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which reference numeral 1 is a hanger body formed by bending a single pipe P with an outer diameter of 12 mm; An overhanging portion 2 having a substantially rectangular shape,
3 and a deep valley 4 formed between the overhanging parts 2 and 3, both ends of the pipe P extend in parallel and are supported and fixed to a mounting member 9, which will be described later. These two overhangs 2, 3 and trough 4 are
The first overhang 2 located at the top has the widest width W.
The width W' of the second overhang 3 located below is narrower than the width W of the valley 4.

A heater wire 5, as shown in FIG. It is not fixed to the board. In Figure 3, reference numeral 6
is a heating wire, 7 is silicone rubber surrounding the outer periphery of the heating wire, and 8 is a glass fiber wrapping the outermost periphery of the heater wire 5. The wattage of the heater wire 5 is appropriately selected in consideration of the diameter and length of the pipe P and the safety at the surface temperature. (W,
A 30w/m one is used with the total W′W) being 400mm.

9 is a mounting member 9 that supports the hanger main body 1
The mounting member 9 consists of a rectangular parallelepiped box with a shaft 10 protruding from both ends thereof.
0 is rotatably supported on a bracket 11 fixed to a wall surface or the like. Therefore, the attachment member 9 and the hanger main body 1 supported thereon rotate in the direction shown by the arrow in FIG. 1 via the shaft 10.

The end of the heater wire 5 described above is connected to the end of the power cord 12 within this attachment member 9. Further, a thermostat 13 is attached to the heater wire 5 at an appropriate location within the pipe P to prevent overheating.

Therefore, when the user plugs in the plug and turns on the power, the heater wire 5 is energized and starts generating heat.
The pipe P of the hanger main body 1 is heated by this heat. Therefore, if a towel or the like is placed over the pipe P, the dry state will be maintained by this heat.

In particular, in this embodiment, the widths of the two protruding parts 2 and 3 and the trough part 4 are made narrower as they are positioned lower, as described above, so that cloths such as towels that tend to get wet or have a lot of moisture tend to accumulate. The contact area of the pipe P with the lower part of the product is increased, and the drying efficiency can be further improved. Also, in this embodiment, since two overhanging parts 2 and 3 are formed, it is not only possible to hang two towels, etc., but also to cover the overhanging parts 2 and 3 with a pair of socks. Drying can also be performed.

Incidentally, when not in use, the attachment member 9 may be rotated so that the hanger body 1 is parallel to the wall surface so as not to get in the way.

FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which the trough 2 of the hanger body 21 is
4 is connected by a tightening ring 14 so that it can rotate 180 degrees relative to the overhanging parts 22 and 23. This tightening ring 14
Once loosened by rotating as necessary, the trough portion 24 is rotated to protrude from the overhanging portions 22 and 23, and then the tightening ring 14 is tightened again to fix the trough portion 24 in this position. (double-dashed line in Fig. 4). According to this embodiment, since the trough portion 24 protrudes beyond the length of the overhanging portions 22 and 23, towels of various widths can be dried using a single hanger.

FIG. 5 shows yet another embodiment of the present invention, in which the two protruding parts 22 and 23 of the above embodiment are at different levels, and according to this embodiment two towels can be can be dried without overlapping each other, and when a single towel or the like is hung, the hung towel swells halfway, so the drying efficiency can be increased.

In the embodiments shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the mounting members have the same construction as in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 described above.

In the above-described embodiment, the hanger main body 1 has a shape in which two overhanging parts 2 and 3 are provided, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the pipe P can be bent in any other suitable shape. In addition, the heat source is not limited to the heater wire 5, but can also be formed by the pipe P.
It does not matter what type it is as long as it can conduct heat transfer to the surface.

(Effects) As described above, according to the present invention, a heat source is provided in the pipe P that forms the hanger body 1, and the surface of the pipe P is heated by the transmitted heat, so that towels etc. It can be dried in a short time simply by hanging it on a hanger, and the inconveniences and problems caused by conventional hangers that rely on natural drying can be solved.

Further, according to the present invention, the hanger body 1 is connected to the pipe P.
Since the hanger main body 1 is formed by the above method, it is possible to easily form the hanger main body 1 in a desired shape.
