As shown in FIG. 1, a pole support base 2 for supporting a clothes-drying pole 1 has two columns 4 erected on a platform block 3, and upper ends of the columns 4 are in opposite directions. Moreover, the rod supports 4a and 4b are formed by being bent at different heights. A pair of rod support bases 2 are arranged at a predetermined interval, and the clothesline 1 is horizontally supported between the corresponding rod support portions 4a and 4b. This rod support base 2 is commercially available and is owned by most homes.

A rectangular frame-shaped frame F is arranged above the pair of rod support bases 2 and fixed to each rod support base 2. That is, the frame F is formed by bending a round bar member 5 into a U shape and welding another round straight bar member 6 to the opening of the round bar member 5. It is formed in combination. Reinforcing rods 7 are provided at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the frame F, and a T-shaped fixing rod 8 is integrally attached to the lower surface of each reinforcing rod 7. Such a frame F is arranged above the pair of rod support bases 2, and the portions of the respective fixing rods 8 are fixed to the support columns 4 of the pair of rod support bases 2 via the fixing fittings 9.

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the top surface of the frame F is covered with a ceiling sheet Sa over the entire surface thereof, and a round bar member constituting the frame F by appropriate means. It is detachably temporarily fixed to 5. Further, a rail 11 is attached to the lower surface of the round bar member 5 constituting the frame F over the entire circumference thereof, and a large number of suspenders 12 are attached to the rail 11 (enlarged views are shown in FIGS. 10 and 11). The katen-shaped rain shelter sheet Sb is suspended over the entire circumference of the frame F. In this embodiment, two rain shelter sheets Sb are used and are vertically hung on the half circumference of the frame F. Each rain shield sheet Sb is provided with a large number of ventilation portions A ₁ at predetermined intervals along the horizontal direction. The ventilation part A ₁ is provided substantially in the center of the rain shield sheet Sb in the height direction and has appropriate deformation resistance as compared with other parts having high flexibility. That is, as shown in FIGS. 5 to 8, in the ventilation part A ₁ , different plate members 14 are provided on both surfaces of the central plate member 13 at predetermined intervals, and these three plate members 13, 14 is integrally attached to the sheet material 10 of the other part of the rain shield sheet Sb. Each plate member 13 and 14 is provided with a large number of ventilation holes 13a and 14a. The ventilation holes 13a provided in the central plate member 13 and the other plate members 14 arranged on both sides thereof are provided. The ventilation holes 14a are displaced both in the lateral direction and in the height direction, and ventilation is possible as shown in FIG. 8 during rainfall, but rainwater does not enter the rain shield sheet Sb. Designed to be difficult to enter.

The above-mentioned rain protection sheet Sb can be gathered in one place like a normal curtain by moving the suspending tool 12 that suspends the rain shielding sheet Sb with respect to the frame F with respect to the rail 11. Is. FIG. 9 shows a state in which the respective rain shield sheets Sb are gathered together on the short side portions of the rectangular frame F, and as described above, the ventilation portion A ₁ has an appropriate deformation resistance. However, since the ventilation part A ₁ is not bent, the ventilation parts A ₁ are neatly gathered based on the width of the ventilation part A ₁ .

When going out in a state where rainfall is predicted, the rain shelter sheets Sb gathered at two places are pulled out and the entire circumference of the frame F is covered vertically. As a result, even when there is rainfall, since the ventilation holes 13a and 14a of the ventilation section A ₁ intersect with each other, the laundry 15 is dried through the ventilation holes 13a and 14a. Rainwater does not enter the space surrounded by the sheet Sa and the rain shelter sheet Sb), and at the same time, ventilation is possible through the ventilation holes 13a and 14a. No rainwater adheres to the object 15 and is dried appropriately.

Further, in fine weather, as described above, the rain shelter sheets Sb are moved along the rails 11 to be gathered on each short side portion of the rectangular frame F, and if necessary, the top sheet. If Sa is removed, the laundry 15 can be dried in a normal state. If the top sheet Sa is made of a transparent material, the daylighting property of the laundry 15 will not be deteriorated, so that the top sheet Sa may be left attached.

According to the present invention, a rectangular frame-shaped frame F is arranged and fixed above a pair of rod support bases 2, and one or a plurality of rain shield sheets Sb provided with ventilation portions over the entire circumference of the frame F. Although there is a gist in the structure in which it can be collected and suspended in the above, the ventilation part provided in the rain shelter sheet Sb is not limited to the above-mentioned structure as long as it can prevent rainwater from entering and can ventilate. It may have any structure. For example, in the ventilation part A ₂ shown in FIGS. 10 to 12, the back sheet material 17 is arranged on the back surface of the main sheet material 16 at a predetermined interval, and the back sheet material 17 and the main sheet material 16 are connected to each other. The main sheet material 16 and the back sheet material 17 are hung from the rail 11 via the same hanging tool 12, and the space forming members 18 are fixed to the both ends of the back sheet material 17 in the width direction with screws 19. As a ventilation space formed by the pair of space forming members 18, ventilation holes 16a and 17a are provided in portions of the main sheet material 16 and the back sheet material 17 having different heights. As a result, it is possible to prevent the infiltration of rainwater during rain and to ventilate the air. Further, since the space forming member 18 is arranged in the vertical direction, the rain shielding sheets Sb are also gathered when gathering them. The space forming member 18 has an advantage that it does not become an obstacle at all.
