Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a laundry rack.
  • a laundry rack of a similar type is e.g. known from CH-PS 390 863 and present in numerous embodiments on the market.
  • Such a laundry rack can be brought from a position of use, in which a laundry rope is stretched between four projecting support arms in the example and is thus ready to receive the laundry, into a folded rest position, in which the laundry rope sections extending loosely hang down between the support arms.
  • the disadvantages here are that the loosely hanging laundry rope sections tend to become confused, that they are exposed to contamination if the entire laundry rack is not enclosed by a cover, and that a laundry rack folded to such an extent, if it is left at the place of use, is overall unaesthetic and looks messy due to the messy hanging rope sections.
  • the laundry rack 1 has in the example case four arms 3 arranged at a uniform distance from one another about a vertically standing mast 2, which together serve as a support for a laundry rope 7, the sections 7 'of which extend from support arm 3 to support arm 3 when they are in their spread apart position (Use position of the laundry rack) are as shown in Figs. 1 and 3.
  • the connection of the arms 3 to the mast 2 takes place on the one hand via a support ring 4 which is arranged displaceably along the mast 2.
  • the support ring 4 has radially projecting webs 5, to which the respective lower end of the arms 3 is pivotally attached.
  • a strut 8 assigned to each arm 3 is provided, which is articulated to one end at a distance from the lower end of the arms 3.
  • the other end, i.e. the end of the struts 8 facing away from the arm 3 is likewise pivotably mounted on a head part 10 of the mast 2.
  • the support arms 3 are provided with laterally projecting wings which are either rigidly or pivotably attached to the arms 3, preferably in the region of their front edge.
  • FIG. 4 An embodiment of such a construction is shown as a cross section in a horizontal plane through the closed laundry rack in FIG. 4.
  • the mast 2 is formed by a generally cylindrical aluminum hollow profile, which, however, has four longitudinally extending depressions 9 arranged uniformly distributed along its circumference. These take up, in the folded state of the laundry rack, the support arms 3, the latter being formed by box profiles.
  • Such an arrangement results in a pronounced stability with comparatively small cross-sectional dimensions.
  • the box profiles have a cavity 11 open towards the mast 2, in which the struts 8 dip.
  • the part of the box sections facing away from the mast 2, which forms the arms 3, is provided with bores 12 for receiving the laundry rope 7.
  • the outer, closed end of the box profiles is provided with two wing elements 6a, which are attached in the region of the outer edge of the arm 3 and protrude therefrom.
  • These wing elements 6a can be part of the box section, i.e. be integrally formed on this. They extend slightly inclined from the side surface 3a, at a slightly acute angle, towards the outside, the width of which is dimensioned such that the free edge 6 'thereof comes to lie in the immediate vicinity of the free edge 6' of the adjacent wing element 6a even touched.
  • the laundry rack when the laundry rack is folded, four cavities 14 are created, which are delimited by two adjacent wing elements 6a, two adjacent outer surfaces 3a of the arms 3 and an area 2a of the outer surface of the mast 2.
  • the hanging laundry rope sections 7a of the laundry rope 7 are accommodated in these four cavities 14.
  • the length of the wing elements 6a is dimensioned such that the total length of the hanging cable sections is covered or "packed” with certainty; i.e. the wing elements 6a extend at least from the bore 12 of the arms 3 provided for the outermost cable section 7a to the deflection point of the innermost cable section 7a. The exact length is to be determined in individual cases.
  • the guide element In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the guide element, generally designated 15, has the shape of an elongated guide body 16, which extends in the longitudinal direction of the arm 3 in question and can be freely displaced along the same.
  • the laundry rack 1 has five cable sections 7 extending from arm to arm ', which are each attached to the arm 3 at the end.
  • the length of the guide body 16 is chosen so that its longitudinal dimension corresponds approximately to the distance between the top and bottom rope section 7 '.
  • the guide body 16 is provided with a first driver 17 which permanently overlaps the uppermost rope section 7 'and with further drivers 18 which temporarily overlap the rope sections which follow below.
  • a first driver 17 which permanently overlaps the uppermost rope section 7 'and with further drivers 18 which temporarily overlap the rope sections which follow below.
  • the shorter and shorter rope sections 7 'from top to bottom, which adjoin the uppermost rope section 7', are temporarily gripped by the catches 18, directed in the downward direction and towards the mast 2 and then released again by the currently effective catch, in order to progressive pivoting of the arm 3 and thus progressive displacement of the guide body 16 to be detected and guided by the subsequent driver 18.
  • the guide body 16 can also be pushed down manually if this should be necessary, for example with a slightly jammed guide body or when using ropes that should be extremely stiff (eg due to very low temperature) , so that the dead weight of the guide body 16 is no longer sufficient for the wire sections 7 ′ to be guided correctly into the cavities 14.
  • each of the guide bodies 16 is equipped with two drivers 17 and with drivers 18 arranged in pairs, in such a way that the two drivers 17 overlap the uppermost cable sections 7 ', each starting from the assigned arm 3, and the further drivers 18 arranged in pairs the pairs of rope sections 7 'below each other cooperate.
  • the laundry rack 1 comprises a weight 19 arranged in the interior of its mast 2, which is connected to the lower end of the guide element 15 via a cable pull.
  • the cable extends with a first section 20a from the weight 19 to a first deflection roller 21 at the head end of the mast 2, with a second section 20b from the first deflection roller 21 to a second deflection roller 22, and with a third section 20c from the second deflection roller 22 to the guide element 15.
  • FIG. 7 and 8 a further embodiment of the laundry rack 1 is shown.
  • a double-sided, inevitable movement of the guide element now designated 21 is provided.
  • a cable is provided, which for the sake of clarity is shown schematically somewhat at a distance from the parts of the laundry rack 1.
  • the cable comprises a first section 23a which extends from a lower anchoring point X, e.g. on the mast 2, up to a first deflecting roller 24, a second section 23b, which extends from the deflecting roller 24 to one end of the guide element 21, a third section 23c, which extends from the other end of the guide element 21 via one arranged at the end of the arm 3
  • Deflection roller 25 leads to a third deflection roller 26, and finally a fourth section 23d from the third deflection roller 26 to an anchoring point Y, for example in the area of the upper end of the mast 2.
  • the axes of rotation of the two deflection rollers 24 and 26 are not, as shown in the drawing, outside the arm 3, but rather coincide with the axis Z, i.e. with the pivot axis of the arm 3 on the support ring 4.
  • the deflection roller 25 is mounted at the end of the support arm 3.
  • the guide element 21 is provided with a laterally protruding driver 22, which projects into the region of the cable sections 7 ′ extending from the arm 3.
  • the cable sections 7 ′ when the guide element 21 is displaced in the direction of the arrow P along the arm 3, are placed against the arm 3 and finally reach the cavities 14 mentioned above in an orderly manner.
