Definitions

  • the present patent application relates to a household dryer, of the trestle type, equipped with connecting rods between the different arms, said rods being articulated in their center and allowing a quick and easy opening or closing of the articulated arms of this dryer.
  • Generally household dryers for laundry are composed of several arms, each of which is normally composed of a series of thin circular rods or wires fixed parallel to the two ends on an external support frame almost always in tubular profile, folded under press.
  • the dryer we know of the trestle type, is generally formed by two identical quadrangular chassis, joined together around a horizontal axis in correspondence with one of the short sides and blocked by two lateral tie rods which prevent the complete separation of the two chassis described above when they are open and supported on the ground with the short sides opposite to those joined.
  • Each of the tie rods is pivoted stably, at one of its ends, to one of the two quadrangular frames, while the other end ends in a hook-shaped piece able to hang on a corresponding piece provided for this purpose.
  • the other quadrangular chassis the same applies to the tie rods or the crutches used to support any shelf plans joined to the two aforementioned basic quadrangular frames which mainly have the function of support structure and stability on the ground of the dryer.
  • the central joint in these rods, is produced by means of a new hinge of particular shape, characterized in that it functions like a knee, as long as the two pivoted parts can rotate between two extreme end-of-travel positions ; one to which corresponds the perfect alignment of the two parts, exactly opposite with respect to the central pivot, the other to which corresponds the reciprocal bringing together of the two parts, placed one next to the other and parallel, which have practically both pivoted by an angle of 90 ° around the pivot, from the previous position described.
  • the dryer according to the idea can be opened quickly and easily without any inconvenient and laborious manual intervention on the part of the user who simply has to open the various articulated arms which spontaneously lock in the position of use of the dryer and which are automatically stopped in this position by the attached rods in their center which reach in this position their maximum degree of opening.
  • the above-mentioned hinge has a particular internal articulation, capable of guaranteeing the stability of the maximum opening position of the hinge itself. , from which the closure can be carried out only after a short distance between the two pivoted parts and at the same time perfectly aligned.
  • the dryer in question comprises, in a preferred version, four arms hinged together in the shape of a fan; two of which (1a) form a trestle which mainly has the function of support structure and stability on the ground, while the other two arms (1b) have the exclusive function of a drying rack.
  • Each arm is formed by a supporting frame, in the form of a gantry, produced with a tubular element folded in a "U" shape and by several small transverse rods (2) welded, at regular intervals, on the right feet of the said frame.
  • each frame end in two short ends (1) bent in an inward square, which function as coaxial and opposite pivots for the rotation of their gantry around a horizontal axis.
  • the complete opening of the dryer is carried out through an intermediate position of half-opening, illustrated in fig. 2, where the arms (1a) result in being separated at the maximum angle permitted by the two lateral tie rods (4) joined at their centers, each of which is permanently articulated at the ends of the two small transverse rods (2), coplanar and welded externally at the right feet of the gantries (1a).
  • Each tie (4) has in the center a new original hinge (5) which is articulated like a knee and which therefore allows a maximum opening angle of 180 ° and a minimum closing angle of 0 °.
  • This hinge (5) is also characterized by the fact that its closing, from the aforementioned maximum opening position, is carried out only if a short reciprocal distance path is made between the two arms and therefore avoids it accidental closure due to a simple impact.
  • the same hinge (5) is also used in the lateral pairs of joined crutches (6) which connect and support the arms (1b) open upwards, as illustrated in fig. 1.
  • This position of complete opening of the dryer according to the idea, as well as the intermediate semi-opening position, see fig. 2, are automatically assumed by the dryer as soon as the attached tie rods (4) and the attached crutches (6) allow a free progressive separation of the arms, until reaching the complete opening of the dryer; position in which the hinges (5) of the tie rods (4) and the stands (6) lock by themselves, thus guaranteeing the final position.
  • the hinge (5) is composed of two parts (50) and (51).
  • the first carries a fin (52) which has a front notch (53) in the shape of a "U” and whose parallel and opposite side walls have different depths which thus define the formation of a beak (54).
  • the second part (51) of the hinge (5) has a fork shape in the wings (55) from which the aforementioned fin (52) can be inserted, from which the two coaxial pivots (56) protrude from the side. can rotate and slide in the slots (57) present on the two fins (55).
  • the end stop of the hinge (5) is effected by the above-mentioned spout (54) which bears against a transverse partition, provided for this purpose between and at the base of the two fins (55), a partition which, at following the sliding of the fins on the small pivots (56) spontaneously tends to lodge in the notch (53); consequently, the reverse closing rotation can be carried out only by moving the parts (50) and (51) away from the hinge itself, in order to disengage the aforementioned transverse partition from its own seat.
  • the junction of the tie rods (4) on a couple of small rods (2) determines a variation in the maximum opening angle of the trestle formed by the arms (1a) and similarly if one fixes a stand (6) on a small rod (2) of different junction, one obtains another inclination of the maximum opening of the arms (1b).
  • This tulip-shaped hook (7) ends in front of a clamp (7b), which is molded in one piece with the tulip-shaped hook (7) and which consists of a small open cylindrical ring for a sector of circumference sufficient to allow its introduction with force into the small rods (2), of circular section, in the small ring which opens in an elastic manner by deforming under pressure and which closes when triggered on the small rod ( 2) that goes inside.
