Definitions

  • the invention relates to a towel dryer, in which pipes through which a heating medium flows are arranged essentially horizontally in the same vertical plane at a distance from one another.
  • Towel dryers and holders of the aforementioned type are mainly used in the sanitary area. They hang, hold and dry towels, bath towels and similar items of laundry and clothing over the pipes. They also heat - within limits - the space in which they are arranged.
  • Known towel dryers (cf. DE-U-83 11 222) have two vertical pipe legs with which the pipes are welded.
  • the pipe legs form the flow and return for the heating medium.
  • One of the tubes may be located outside of the plane in which the tube legs and the other tubes are located to facilitate hanging certain items of laundry.
  • the known towel dryers are designed and manufactured in a complex manner: each end of each tube must be welded to one of the pipe legs, which for this purpose must have the same number of openings in its wall as the number of pipes.
  • the invention seeks to remedy this.
  • the invention has for its object to design a towel dryer of the type mentioned so that the pipe legs are omitted. According to the invention, this object is achieved by a meandering bent pipe string, the straight parts of which form the pipes and the large curved parts of which are pipe connections of the towel dryer.
  • the towel dryer is made of a single bent pipe string - pipe - bent.
  • the pipe legs are omitted. Rather, the straight parts forming the pipes are continuously connected by the pipe connections in the manner of a series connection. Design and manufacture are simplified; Welding work is omitted, at least as far as the connection of pipes to pipe legs is concerned.
  • the towel dryer according to the invention has a greater distance between the tubes compared to the towel dryers according to the prior art; it complies with the safety regulations of the Federal Working Group of Public Insurance Institutions (BAGUV).
  • one end of each tube is connected to one of the tube connections, one of which merges into the tube above and the other into the tube adjacent below.
  • the towel dryer is intended for connection to a hot water heating system.
  • the pump in the hot water heating system also causes the water to circulate in the towel dryer. If the towel dryer is to be operated separately from the hot water heating system as a single body, which is supplied with energy by an electrically powered heating cartridge, the hot water circulation may not be guaranteed.
  • each tube starting from its tube connection connected to the tube below it, is arranged at an upward angle with respect to the horizontal.
  • the pipe legs also have the function of preventing items of laundry which are moved in the longitudinal direction of the pipes from slipping off the latter.
  • the towel dryer according to the invention also fulfills this function if, in another development, two groups of pipes are arranged in two mutually parallel vertical planes and are connected within the same group via the pipe connections, one of the pipes of the one group being arranged at the same height is like one of the pipes in the other group; and the two pipes located at the same height are connected at opposite end faces via the pipe connections to the pipe above and below adjacent to the same group.
  • a piece of laundry is hung over two pipes at the same height in the different vertical levels.
  • One of the pipe connections leading to the next higher pipe then prevents slipping on each end face.
  • the hanging laundry items are kept apart at the fold, which speeds up the drying process. It remains possible to hang a piece of laundry over just one pipe.
  • the width of the towel dryer, the number of its tubes and its performance are the same compared to those of the prior art.
  • the heating medium can be supplied at one end, run through both groups in succession and be discharged again at the other end.
  • the heating medium can be fed in at both ends, run through the two groups in parallel and be discharged again in the middle of the meandering bent pipe string. Both groups can be operated separately.
  • the heating medium can be fed in in the area of one end of the pipes, the drain in the area of the other end and vice versa.
  • the inflow and / or the outflow of the heating medium can take place for one group in the area of one end of the tubes, for the other group in the area of the other end.
  • the towel dryer can be attached parallel to a wall or perpendicular to it. It can be connected to a hot water heating system or operated as a single body.
  • the towel dryer consists of a single pipe string 1 bent in a meandering shape.
  • a heating medium flows through the pipe string.
  • the heating medium enters the pipe string 1 at one end of the VL flow, passes through it and exits the RL return at the other end.
  • Straight parts of the pipe string 1 form pipes 2, which are arranged horizontally at a vertical distance parallel to one another.
  • Curved parts of the pipe string 1 form pipe connections 3 between adjacent pipes.
  • One of the pipe connections 3 connects to each end face of each pipe 2, for example the pipe connection 31 to the end face 21, the pipe connection 32 to the end face 22.
  • the pipe connection 31 merges into the pipe 2 above and the pipe connection 32 into the pipe 2 below.
  • a vent 4 is provided on the uppermost tube 2.
  • the pipe connections 3 are angular; in the embodiments shown in Figures 3, 7 and 10, the pipe connections 3 are formed as a circular ring.
  • the pipe string 1 bent in a meandering shape in the same vertical plane can form the entire towel dryer.
  • two groups of tubes 2, 5 are arranged in two mutually parallel vertical planes.
  • the pipes are connected within the same group via the pipe connections, namely the pipes 2 via the pipe connections 3 and the pipes 5 via the pipe connections 6.
  • the pipes 2, 5 and the pipe connections 5, 6 form a pipe register.
  • One of the tubes 2 of one group is arranged at the same height as one of the tubes 5 of the other group.
  • the two pipes 2, 5 located at the same height are on opposite end faces, for example 21 and 51, via the pipe connections, for example 31 and 61, with the pipe 2, 5 above them, adjacent thereto Group and at the respective opposite end faces, for example 22 and 52, via the pipe connections, for example 32 and 62, connected to the pipe 2.5 of the same group below.
  • the two pipes 2, 5 located at the same height are on the same end faces, e.g. 21 and 51, via the pipe connections, e.g. 31 and 61, with the above adjacent tube 2, 5 of the same group and on the opposite end faces, e.g. 22 and 52, via the pipe connections, e.g. 32 and 62, connected to the tube 2, 5 of the same group adjacent below.
  • the pipe connection 32 going downward connects to the uppermost pipe 2 of the one group on one end face 22.
  • the other end face 21 is connected by the pipe connection, which does not go upwards but also downwards.
  • the downward pipe connection of FIG. 21 is simultaneously bent from the plane of the pipes 2 into the plane of the pipes 5. This can be done - as shown in solid lines in Figures 1 and 5 - via a pipe bend or - as shown in Figure 3 and shown in dashed lines in Figures 1 and 5 - via an oblique pipe connection.
  • a horizontal pipe connection can also be connected to the other end face 21 - FIG. 10 -.
  • the pipe connection 33 extends into the plane of the second group and is connected to one end face 51 of the uppermost pipe 5 of this group.
  • the top tube 2 of one group is also pivoted into the vertical plane of the other group and its other end face 21 is connected to the top tube connection 62 of the other group.
  • the uppermost pipe can be straight - shown as drawn out - or it can initially rise parallel to the pipe of the other group arranged below it, for example from the middle it can be designed to fall parallel to the pipe of one group arranged below it - shown in dashed lines.
  • the towel holder in the embodiment shown in Figure 7 is particularly suitable for the energy supply by means of an electrically powered, not shown heating cartridge.
  • a cross-connection 7 is provided between the bottom tube 2 of one group - flow - and the bottom tube 5 of the other group - return.
  • the cross connection 7 causes the water to circulate around the heating cartridge.
  • the cross connection expediently starts from the beginning of the tube 2 into which the heating cartridge is screwed.
  • the temperature sensor of the heating cartridge is attached there.
  • the arrangement of the cross-connection at this point prevents faulty, namely premature switching off of the heating cartridge.
  • There is an additional one for connection to a hot water heating system Provide connecting pieces. This enables the towel dryer with a heating cartridge to be operated as a single body, but when the connection piece is used it can also be used as part of a hot water heating system.
  • the lower tubes 2, 5 - as shown - can run both horizontally and inclined upwards with respect to the horizontal.
  • the horizontal arrangement is also recommended for optical reasons with regard to the installation of the heating cartridge.
  • the towel dryer is attached to a wall using conventional attachments, for example flat iron or angle iron.
  • the towel dryer is also supplied with the heating medium via conventional connections, for example T-pieces, axially or transversely running connections.
  • connections for example T-pieces, axially or transversely running connections.
  • a connection through round bars or pipe 8 is provided between the two groups at about half the height for reinforcement or to increase stability.
  • the towel dryer is particularly useful in the sanitary area, both privately and commercially.
