Description

当発明は、片手で洗濯物を取り付け、取り外しができる洗濯バサミに関するものである。The present invention relates to a laundry scissors that can be attached and detached with laundry with one hand.

（イ）従来品は、両手で使用することが前提であり、片手で洗濯物を持ち、もう一方の手で洗濯バサミを用いるものであった。
（ロ）物干し竿に吊るされた洗濯バサミに洗濯物を片手での取り付け取り外しは、事実上不可能であった。(B) The conventional product is premised on use with both hands, and has a laundry with one hand and a clothespin with the other hand.
(B) It was practically impossible to attach or remove the laundry to or from the clothespin suspended from the clothespin.

従来品は、基本形状が、Ｘ型でその中心に支軸がある。そのため操作する、摘む部分と洗濯物を挟む部分とが独立し離れている為、挟む部分を開きながら洗濯物をその中に入れて閉じるまでの作業を片手で行うには、器用であっても指がうまく届かず不可能であった。
当発明は、これらの問題点を解決するためになされたものである。The conventional product has an X-type basic shape and a support shaft at the center. For this reason, since the part to be picked and the part sandwiching the laundry are separated from each other, the work to put the laundry in and close it while opening the sandwiching part can be done with one hand. It was impossible because my fingers did not reach well.
The present invention has been made to solve these problems.

（イ）本体の基本形状を従来品のＸ型からＨ型に変更し［図２］、支軸（４）を挟み部（５）に近い位置に設ける。
（ロ）指掛け部Ａ（１）に溝部（２）と先端部（３）を設け、また反発し柔軟性のある弾性屈折部（７）を設ける。(A) The basic shape of the main body is changed from the conventional X-type to the H-type [FIG. 2], and the support shaft (4) is provided at a position close to the sandwiching portion (5).
(B) A groove (2) and a tip (3) are provided in the finger-hanging part A (1), and a resilient and flexible elastic refracting part (7) is provided.

挟み部（５）の解放固定が可能となり同時にその中に洗濯物を掛けた親指を差し入れて、その指を用いて閉じせる操作が挟み部（５）内で可能となった。使用する指は、親指と人差し指のみで無理なく操作でき、片手で使用することが出来るようになった。その結果として、
（イ）両腕を上げずに片手での作業ができ、肉体的負担が軽減される。
（ロ）通常より高いところに洗濯物を干す時やまた、赤子や洗濯籠を抱えている場合でも、片手で作業が可能となった。
（ハ）身体的に障害のある方や高齢者も無理することなく使用できる。The pinch portion (5) can be released and fixed, and at the same time, the user can insert the thumb with the laundry into it and close it with the finger in the pinch portion (5). Fingers can be operated with the thumb and index finger without difficulty, and can be used with one hand. As a result,
(I) Work with one hand without raising both arms, reducing physical burden.
(B) It is now possible to work with one hand even when the laundry is dried above the normal level, or when a baby or a laundry basket is held.
(C) It can be used by people with physical disabilities and the elderly without overdoing it.

（イ）本体基本形状を、Ｈ型の形状にして支軸（４）を設ける。
（ロ）指掛け部Ａ（１）に溝部（２）と先端部（３）を設ける。
（ハ）指掛け部Ａ（１）に弾性屈折部（７）を設ける。この弾性屈折部（７）の材質は、合成樹脂や硬質ゴム、金属など反発性があり且つ柔軟性のある素材を用いる。合成樹脂の場合は、太さ、厚さを変えて柔軟度を調整する。
（ニ）バネ線（６）を設ける。（従来品と同様）
本発明は、以上のような構造で、使用方法は、物干し竿に掛けるハンガー用の洗濯バサミに関して以下の順序となる。
（イ）挟み部（５）を開放状態にするために、指掛け部Ａ（１）を指で摘んで押圧する［図３］、それによりバネ線（６）の戻り力により弾性屈折部（７）が屈折して更に押圧することで指掛け部Ａ（１）の両方が密着して先端部（３）が溝部（２）にはまり込む、これにより指掛け部Ａ（１）が連結して挟み部（５）が開放固定状態となる。［図４］
（ロ）次に洗濯物を親指（１０）に引っ掛けて開放状態となっている、挟み部（５）に入れ、指掛け部Ｂ（８）を親指（１０）と人差し指（９）で摘んで押圧［図５］することで弾性屈折部（７）が戻り反発で元の形状にもどり溝部（２）から先端部（３）が離れる、そして指を全て離すと挟み部（５）が閉じ洗濯物が取り付く。
（ハ）取り外す時は、洗濯物を小指か薬指に引っ掛けた状態で（イ）を行う。(A) The main body basic shape is changed to an H shape, and the support shaft (4) is provided.
(B) A groove (2) and a tip (3) are provided in the finger hook A (1).
(C) An elastic refracting portion (7) is provided on the finger rest portion A (1). As the material of the elastic refracting portion (7), a material having resilience and flexibility such as synthetic resin, hard rubber, and metal is used. In the case of a synthetic resin, the flexibility is adjusted by changing the thickness and thickness.
(D) A spring wire (6) is provided. (Same as conventional product)
The present invention is structured as described above, and the method of use is in the following order with respect to a clothespin for a hanger hung on a clothesline basket.
(A) In order to open the pinching portion (5), the finger-hanging portion A (1) is picked and pressed with a finger [FIG. 3], whereby the elastic refracting portion (7 ) Is refracted and further pressed, so that both of the finger hooks A (1) are brought into close contact with each other and the tip part (3) is fitted into the groove (2). (5) is in the open fixed state. [Fig. 4]
(B) Next, the laundry is hooked on the thumb (10) and placed in the open portion (5), and the finger hook B (8) is picked with the thumb (10) and index finger (9) and pressed. [FIG. 5] The elastic refracting part (7) returns to its original shape by rebounding, the tip part (3) is separated from the groove part (2), and the nipping part (5) is closed when all fingers are released. Is attached.
(C) When removing, do (i) with the laundry hooked on the little or ring finger.
