Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a laundry rack with the features listed in the preamble of claim 1.
  • Laundry racks of this type are known, for example, from DE-A-32 49 358, EP-A-0 113 788, EP-A-0 113 789 and EP-A-0 134 826.
  • the support arms are spread apart by means of a pull rope, the pulley-like back and forth between the upper end of the mast and a displaceable support sleeve, so that the support sleeve is moved upwards by pulling on this pull rope; as a result, the support arms of the laundry rack, which carry the laundry rope, are spread radially outwards.
  • the support arms In the folded rest or starting position of the laundry rack, the support arms, usually four in number, but together with the respectively associated strut articulated to them, each form a straight pair of spreading legs, at the ends of which the force of the pulling rope acts parallel to the mast when the support arms to be spread out.
  • This has the disadvantage that at the beginning of the spreading process of the arms, due to their almost parallel alignment to the mast, a disproportionately high pulling force on the pulling rope is required in order to get over the almost straight or very acute angle between the support arm and the strut (depending on the point of view) and thus to generate a sufficient radial force component for spreading the arms over the very acute angle between the support arm and the pulling direction of the pulling rope parallel to the mast.
  • the known arrangements can reduce the force to be used, it is not possible to generate a radially acting force component which considerably facilitates the initial spreading apart of the support arms and in most cases makes the pulley effect unnecessary.
  • the invention has for its object to develop and improve a laundry rack of the generic type such that the aforementioned disadvantages no longer occur.
  • the drawing shows a schematic representation of a part of the laundry rack in the area of the upper mast part. It is only part of a single support arm, the strut assigned to it and the upper part of the mast.
  • the laundry rack 1 has a plurality of, for example four, equally spaced support arms 3 arranged around a vertical mast 2, which together serve as a carrier for a laundry rope (not shown), the sections of which differ Extend support arm to support arm when the arms 3 are in their spread apart position (use position of the clothes rack 1).
  • the connection of the support arms 3 to the mast 2 takes place on the one hand via a support sleeve 4 which is arranged displaceably along the mast 2.
  • the support sleeve 4 has radially projecting webs 5, on which the respective lower end of the support arms 3 is fastened pivotably about a bolt 6.
  • a strut 8 assigned to each support arm 3 is provided, which is fastened at one end to the lower end of the support arms 3 by a hinge pin 9 '.
  • the other end, ie the end of the struts 8 facing away from the support arm 3, is mounted on a head part 10 of the mast 2, likewise pivotable about a pin 11.
  • the arrangement is such that the length of the part 12, the lever arm part of the support arm 3, between the lower arm end and the point of engagement of the strut 8 has, for example, approximately the same length as the strut 8.
  • the support arms 3 When the laundry rack 1 is not in use, the support arms 3 are pivoted against the mast 2, and consequently also the struts 8.
  • the pair of expansion legs 12, 8 each formed by the arm part 12 and the strut 8 is therefore fully or almost fully stretched and the support sleeve 4 is located in their lowest position.
  • a pulling rope 14 is provided which is fastened with one end 15 to the head part 10 of the mast 2 and which in the example case has one of the four supports via the bolts 6 'and 9' poor 3 runs.
  • the bolts 6 'and 9' expediently take up rotatably mounted rollers 16 and 17, over which the traction cable 14 is guided and which reduce the friction.
  • the free end (not shown) of the traction cable 14 is located beyond the roller 17 and hangs outward with a small piece in order to be gripped by the operator's hand.
  • the position of this rope end is at a comfortable position of approximately 0.80 to 1.20 m in height, so that the gripping and actuation of the rope 14 can be carried out comfortably and ergonomically without effort and without bending over.
  • the support sleeve 4 which is displaceably mounted on the mast 2, is pulled upward, so that the arm part 12 and the strut 8 or through it Elements formed spreading leg pair are pulled against each other like scissors;
  • the support arm 3 correspondingly extends outwards until a position is reached in which the support arms 3 are spread outwards so far that the laundry rope sections circulating between them are sufficiently tensioned to be able to hang laundry items on them.
  • a pawl 22 provided on the support sleeve 4 slides with its bevel end 23 having a bevel 23 via latching openings which are arranged along a row on the mast 2 when the support sleeve 4 is pulled upwards.
  • a spring 25 presses the pawl end 24 against the mast 2 or the row of locking openings to secure a locking position in one of the locking openings, so that an undesired downward movement of the support sleeve 4 is prevented when the support arms 3 have reached their spread use position.
  • the release of the latch for collapsing the laundry rack 1 is made possible by a cam 26 which can be actuated manually by means of a handle (not shown) and which lies against the pawl 22 with its circumference.
  • the desired effect can also be achieved if the deflection point provided on the support arm 3 for the traction cable 14 is provided at another location on the support arm 3.
  • the prerequisite is that there is a sufficient distance between the deflection point and the support sleeve 4 in order to achieve a substantial leverage effect on the support arm 3.
  • this distance preferably corresponds at least to the distance between the support sleeve 4 and the joint 9, which is located between the support arm 3 and the strut 8. This also ensures that the end of the pull rope, when the laundry rack is in the unfolded position, does not reach down to the floor and is therefore not exposed to any or only insignificant soiling.
