The present invention relates to framework for use in drying clothings, and in particular, a framework which employs pulleys such that suspension cables will not entangle with each other.
Conventional framework for drying clothings used in apartments is fixed type framework which mounted to the ceiling of the corridor. Due to the fixed structure and the height of the structure, it is not convenient to hang wet clothes to dry under normal sunlight. To solve the problem, drying poles which could be elevated and lowered are employed. The elevating and lowering device for this purpose comprises a main pulley frame, a secondary pulley frame, suspension cable and a drying rod. The suspension cable elevates the drying rod and if the drying rod is to be fixed, the suspension cable has to be pulled outward so that it leans onto a pressing roller. When the cable is loosen, the pressing roller and a rolling roller clip the suspension cable. Thus, the suspension cable is secured and the drying rod is stationery at a fixed height.
However, the drawback of the conventional drying framework is that the suspension cable will entangle, and when the cable is pulled, the cable may rub against the adjacent cable and therefore the longevity of cable is reduced. Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a framework for drying clothes which mitigates the above drawback.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a framework for drying clothes comprising main pulley frame, a secondary pulley frame, a suspension cable and a clothes-drying pole, the main pulley frame and the secondary pulley frame being mounted to the bottom surface of the floor, and the main pulley frame including a rolling roller pivotally mounted within a housing, the housing mounted at the lower lateral side of the rolling roller being provided with a press roller without an axle, and the suspension cable positioned between the rolling roller and the pressing roller and two suspension members are positioned at the lower end of the suspension cable, and the clothes-drying pole being placed between the two suspension members, characterized in that a spaced-apart ring is formed along the circumferential edge of the rolling roller and a circular groove corresponding to the spaced-apart ring is formed to the pressing roller, and by means of the clipping of the suspension cable between the spaced-apart-ring and the circular groove, the suspension cable, two adjacent cables will not be entangled to each other. a main pulley frame, a secondary pulley frame, a suspension cable and a clothes-drying pole, the main pulley frame and the secondary pulley frame being mounted to the bottom surface of the floor, and the main pulley frame including a rolling roller pivotally mounted within a housing, the housing mounted at the lower lateral side of the rolling roller being provided with a press roller without an axle, and the suspension cable positioned between the rolling roller and the pressing roller and two suspension members are positioned at the lower end of the suspension cable, and the clothes-drying pole being placed between the two suspension members, characterized in that a spaced-apart ring is formed along the circumferential edge of the rolling roller and a circular groove corresponding to the spaced-apart ring is formed to the pressing roller, and by means of the clipping of the suspension cable between the spaced-apart-ring and the circular groove, the suspension cable, two adjacent cables will not be entangled to each other.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a framework for drying clothes, wherein the spaced-apart ring will isolate two adjacent suspension cable from entangling with each other.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a framework for drying clothes, wherein friction between two adjacent cables will be avoided.
Other objects, and advantages will become more apparent in view of the following detailed description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
Referring to
In order to lower or elevate the clothes-drying pole 4, as shown in
Further, the suspension cable 3 wound around the rolling roller 12 is divided into two sections or two members 3, 3′, which are respectively leans against the two lateral sides of the spaced-apart ring 121. The two members, 3, 3′ of the suspension cable 3 are isolated to avoid the entanglement. As shown in
Due to the space between the spaced-apart ring 121, the members 3,3′ will not generate friction. Thus, heat generated by means of friction is avoided, and the broken off of the cable 3 as a result of frictional heat is avoided. The suspension cable 3 is durable in the present invention.
Referring to
While certain novel features of this invention have been shown and described and are pointed out in the annexed claim, it is not intended to be limited to the details above, since it will be understood that various omissions, modifications, substitutions and changes in the forms and details of the device illustrated and in its operation can be made by those skilled in the art without departing in any way from the spirit of the present invention.
