Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a laundry drying rack according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a laundry drying rack of the generic type is known from DE-OS 23 32 998.
  • this has a U-shaped rail to be fastened to a wall, at the two ends of which a support arm covered with a plurality of lines is pivotably mounted. Since the two support arms can be pivoted in opposite directions from the position of use, where they protrude essentially perpendicularly from the U-rail, into a folded-in rest position, there is the disadvantage of the clothesline sagging when folded.
  • the purpose of that tumble dryer is to avoid this disadvantage by first folding up the two arms so that the washing lines run in a vertical plane common to the arms. Subsequent folding of the arms then, under the effect of the Gravity, so that the clotheslines are picked up in the cavity of the U-profile.
  • Such a tumble dryer is only suitable for stationary use; in particular, as can be seen from the aforementioned DE-OS, it must be attached to a wall.
  • the laundry drying rack generally designated 1, has an elongated, central support element 2, which in the example is formed by two aluminum profiles 3 and 4 running parallel to one another. At the two free ends of the profiles 3 and 4, connecting elements 5a, 5b and 6a, 6b, for example made of plastic, are attached, which have lateral, projecting tabs 7. Two adjacent of these tabs 7 are through Means, not shown, are connected to one another so that the connecting elements 5a and 5b or 6a and 6b can be pivoted relative to one another (cf. FIGS. 4-6).
  • the connecting elements 5a, 5b, 6a and 6b also serve to receive a respective support arm 8a, 8b, 9a and 9b and to connect them to the central support element 2. Between the pairs of support arms 8a, 8b and the pairs of support arms 9a, 9b, a washing line 10a and 10b is stretched in each case; there is no need to go into details in this connection, since this is known prior art.
  • the axis X essentially coincides with the central axis of the central support element 2 or runs symmetrically between the two profiles 3 and 4.
  • the two dryer halves, each formed from two support arms and the laundry ropes stretched between them, can be extended from one position ( Fig. 1 or Fig. 4) are continuously brought into a folded position (Fig. 6) via a partially folded position (Fig. 5).
  • the support arms 8a, 8b, 9a and 9b are pivotally received in the associated connecting elements 5a, 5b, 6a and 6c; the pivoting takes place about an axis Y, which runs perpendicular to the axis X already mentioned.
  • the arrangement is such that, for example, rod-shaped connecting members 11a and 11b, which are also pivotably attached to the free ends of the support arms, in such a way that a pair of support arms 8a, 8b or 9a, 9b) in each case in the form of a parallelogram from an extended position according to FIG. 1 , where the support arms are substantially perpendicular to the support element 2, can be brought into a fully retracted position (FIG. 3) via a partially folded position (FIG. 2).
  • the pivoting of the support arms 8a, 8b and 9a, 9b takes place in each case about the assigned axis Y.
  • a laundry drying rack 1 folded and folded in this way requires very little space for storage, since the shape of an elongated body is approximately taken up by bringing the support arms 8a, 8b and 9a, 9b into one position in which they run at least approximately parallel to the central support element 2.
  • the two respectively interacting connecting elements 5a, 5b and 6a, 6b are pivotally connected to one another by suitable means in such a way that they can be locked in any pivot position. This can be done, for example, by means of clamping screws or other known means, which need not be discussed in more detail here.
  • Locking means (not shown) can also be provided be that fix the arms 8a, 8b or 9a, 9b in their position, be it unfolded, be it folded.
  • the clothes drying rack 1 can be set up over a bath tub 12, the ends of the support arms 8 and 9 each being provided with anti-slip and / or fork-like support members 13.
  • the frame 1 is supported on the edge of the bath tub 12 and on the wall 14 and is in the unfolded position according to FIG. 1.
  • the frame 1 can also be used over a bath tub 12 in a partially folded position, as shown in FIG. 9 ; the support members 13 lie on opposite upper edges of the bath tub 12.
  • a stand 14 can be provided in order to set up the frame 1 freely.
  • a central column stand with a foot is also suitable.
  • 11 and 12 show two ways of attaching the frame 1 to the parapet 15 of a balcony.
  • hook-like anchoring members (not shown) are provided, into which the connecting member 11a engages at the end of the arms 8.
  • the arms 9, however, are supported on the balcony parapet 16 via an intermediate member 18.
  • FIG. 12 the frame 1 is again in an unfolded state, the ends of the arms 8 being fastened to the upper edge of the balcony parapet 16 by means of clip-like elements 19.
  • a support 17, which engages the central support element 2 ensures that the frame 1 is in a stable position.
  • FIG. 14 A corresponding way of use on a wall 20, above a radiator 21, is shown in FIG. 14: the frame 1 is here almost completely unfolded and is supported on the wall 20 and on the floor.
  • the frame 1 can also be attached to the outer wall 21 of a caravan, cf. Fig. 15.
  • the laundry drying rack 1 can also be converted into a balcony table by being fastened to the inside of a balcony parapet 16, using an intermediate member 18, and provided with a table top 22 in a largely folded state. 17 shows that the laundry drying rack 1 can also be suspended by means of ropes or wires 23, the rack preferably being in the fully unfolded state.
