Abstract

A laundry drying implement is provided which includes a casing; a hollow bearing portion protruding in the casing; a drum supported on the bearing portion, and rotatable about the bearing portion; a laundry rope that is wound around the drum, and can be unreeled from and reeled onto the drum as the drum rotates; and a rotary damper that is received in the bearing portion, and applies to the drum rotational resistance in the rope-reeling direction.

Abstract

A hollow cylindrical bearing portion (20) is provided projecting into the interior of a casing (10) of a laundry drying implement (1), and a drum (40) around which a laundry drying rope (41) is wound is supported by the bearing portion (20). A rotary damper (30) is accommodated inside the bearing portion (20), and a damping shaft (33) thereof rotates integrally with the drum (40), thereby imparting rotational resistance to the drum (40). Since the configuration is such that the rotary damper (30) is incorporated into the bearing portion (20), the depth dimension of the laundry drying implement (1) can be reduced compared with a configuration in which the rotary damper and the drum are arranged in a row in the axial direction of the bearing portion (20).
