Definitions

  • the invention relates to a rotary clothes dryer with a vertical mast, a spreader frame for receiving a clothesline and a locking device for locking the spreader frame in a closed position, wherein the spreader frame has a plurality of arms and a plurality of spreader arms for supporting the arms, wherein the arms are pivotally mounted about pivot axes in a lower collar that can be moved along the mast and wherein the spreader arms are articulated on an upper collar fixed to the mast and on the arms in articulation axes.
  • a wide variety of forms of laundry drying racks are known from the state of the art.
  • a subcategory is, for example, rotary clothes dryers that can be opened and closed, which are sometimes also referred to as laundry umbrellas.
  • a laundry umbrella with a number of foldable arms is known in the EN 10 2004 030 720 B4 shown and described. The arms are used to stretch a clothesline on which clothes and textiles can be hung to dry.
  • a rotary clothes dryer which has a spreader frame for carrying a clothesline.
  • a tensioning device is provided to open the spreader frame and hold it in the open position. Its operation by the operator of the Rotary clothes dryer requires practice and skill.
  • a pivoting and spring-loaded locking hook is provided to keep the spreader frame in the closed position when not in use. The storage of the locking hook is considered to be complex and susceptible to wear.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a rotary clothes dryer which can be easily opened and kept securely closed and which at least partially eliminates the disadvantages of the prior art.
  • the rotary clothes dryer has a vertical mast, a spreader frame that can be opened and closed to accommodate a clothesline and a locking device for locking the spreader frame in a closed position, wherein the spreader frame has a plurality of arms for stretching, i.e. carrying the clothesline, and a plurality of spreader arms for supporting the arms, wherein each arm is assigned a spreader arm.
  • the arms are mounted in a lower collar that can be moved along the mast and are pivotable about pivot axes.
  • the spreader arms are attached to a fixed upper collar and hinged to the arms in articulation axes.
  • the articulation axes on the arms are located between the lower and the free upper end of the arms.
  • the articulation axes on the upper collar form upper articulation axes and the articulation axes on the arms form lower articulation axes of the spreading arms.
  • the pivot points of the articulation axes of the spreading arms in the arms are spaced radially further from a vertical center axis of the mast than the pivot points of the swivel axes in the lower collar and than the pivot points of the articulation axes in the upper collar.
  • the locking device has at least one rigid engagement element attached to the upper collar and a plurality of rigid counter elements, with one counter element attached to each free end of the arms.
  • the engagement element and counter elements are interlocked when the spreader frame is closed.
  • the advantage here is that the engagement element and counter elements are particularly robust thanks to their rigid design and allow a simple manufacturing and assembly process. Since such a locking device only has the function of locking the arms, it cannot initiate an opening movement of the spreader frame.
  • the rigid design of the locking device can therefore only be implemented in combination with the special arrangement of the pivot points according to the invention. Both aspects together enable a simple construction of the rotary clothes dryer and at the same time easy handling.
  • the spreading frame has a sliding device for vertically moving the Arms in the spreader frame closed position. This allows the arms to be moved vertically relative to the mast before the spreader frame opens or after it has been closed.
  • the engagement element and the counter elements have locking surfaces that are complementary to one another and serve for locking and arresting.
  • the engagement element is designed in segments and each counter element is assigned a segment of the engagement element. This allows material to be saved.
  • the displacement device can be realized by elongated holes formed in the upper collar, in which the articulation axes of the spreading arms are displaceable.
  • the displacement device can be realized by elongated holes formed in each arm, in which the articulation axes of the spreading arms can be moved.
  • each pivot axis is assigned a slot and the pivot axes have bolts guided in the slots.
  • the slots are oriented vertically so that they only allow freedom of movement of the arms in a vertical direction.
  • Vertically oriented means that the long sides of the slots run vertically and parallel to the mast. This vertical orientation applies to the slots in the arms as long as the spreader frame is closed.
  • the rotary clothes dryer mast can have a vertically movable cover.
  • a cover can prevent the penetration of dry and liquid dirt from entering the mast and the area of the upper collar.
  • the vertical movement of the cover means that when the spreader frame is closed, it is not spaced apart from the counter elements at the free ends of the arms, and the ingress of dirt can also be prevented here.
  • the cover When opening or closing the spreader frame, the cover can be briefly lifted by the counter elements.
  • the rotary clothes dryer can also have an opening device for unfolding the spreader frame with a pull rope and with an actuating element attached to the free end, e.g. a handle. By pulling on the actuating element, the lower collar can be moved along the mast towards the upper end of the mast.
  • Fig.4 shows a view of the complete clothes dryer in the form of a rotary clothes dryer 100.
  • the rotary clothes dryer 100 stands on the floor 1000 and can be opened and closed, i.e. folded open and closed.
  • the tumble dryer is shown in the open state, in which a clothesline 1 is stretched.
  • the clothesline 1 is held by a A plurality of arms 11 are held, which are pivotably attached to a mast 20.
  • an opening device 30 can be provided.
  • an actuating element 31 eg a handle
  • an operator can pull a pulling rope 32, which is guided via pulleys on the arm, on the lower collar and on the mast.
  • the pull on the actuating element 31 causes the pulling rope 32 to lift the lower collar 32 along the mast 20, whereby the rotary clothes dryer 100 is moved from its closed state into the open state shown.
  • Fig. 1a shows a view of the rotary clothes dryer 100 in the closed state.
  • the rotary clothes dryer 100 has a vertical mast 20, a spreader frame 10 for holding a clothesline 1 (not visible).
  • the spreader frame 10 has a plurality of arms 11 and a plurality of spreader arms 12 for supporting the arms 11.
  • Each arm 11 is assigned a spreader arm 12.
  • the arms 11 are pivotally mounted about pivot axes 7 in a lower collar 13 that can be moved along the mast 20.
  • the spreader arms 12 are hinged on the one hand to an upper collar 14 fixed to the mast 20 in articulation axes 8 and on the other hand to the arms 11 in articulation axes 6.
  • the mast 20 has a vertically movable cover 22 at its upper end, which acts as a kind of roof.
  • Fig. 1b shows a scaled representation of the position of the rotary clothes dryer’s pivot points from Fig. 1a , in which their position relative to each other can be recognized.
  • the pivot points of the articulation axes 6 of the spreading arms 12 in the arms 11 are spaced radially further from a vertical central axis 21 of the mast 20 than the pivot points 7 of the pivot axes in the lower collar 13 and than the pivot points 8 of the articulation axes in the upper collar 14.
  • the distance A6 of the pivot point 6 from the central axis 21 of the mast 20 is greater than the distance A7 and greater than the distance A8 of the other two pivot points 7 and 8.
  • Fig. 2 shows the upper part of the mast 20 of the rotary clothes dryer 100 in the closed state.
  • a locking device 2 is provided with a rigid engagement element 3 attached to the upper collar 14.
  • Part of the locking device 2 is also a plurality of rigid counter elements 4 fastened to a respective free end of the arms 11.
  • the engagement element 3 is designed in segments and each counter element 4 is assigned a segment.
  • the engagement element 3 and counter elements 4 are interlocked and thus hold the arms 11 in their position, thus preventing the spreader frame 10 from unfolding.
  • the engagement element 3 and the counter elements 4 have locking surfaces 5 that are complementary to one another.
  • the spreader frame 10 also has a displacement device 9 for vertically displacing the arms 11 when the spreader frame 10 is closed.
  • the displacement device 9 is implemented by means of elongated holes 9.1 formed in the upper collar 14, in which the articulation axes 8 of the spreader arms 12 are mounted and displaceable by means of bolts 9.2.
  • the elongated holes 9.1 are oriented vertically.
  • the arms 11 are also moved vertically upwards a little, and as far as the elongated holes 9:1 allow.
  • a respective bolt 9.2 has reached the upper end of a respective elongated hole 9.1 (not shown)
  • the arms 11 can no longer be moved vertically upwards and the locking mechanism is released by the locking device 2.
  • the locking surfaces 5 are disengaged.
  • the lower end of the arms 11 can then be moved further upwards with the lower collar 13, while the upper free end of the arms 11 pivots radially outwards and the spreader frame 10 with its arms 11 unfolds.
  • the counter elements 4 push the vertically displaceable cover 22 of the mast 20 slightly upwards. As soon as the counter elements 4 are located radially outside the circumference of the cover 22 due to the unfolding movement, the cover 22 is lowered again.
  • Fig.3 shows the upper area of the rotary clothes dryer 100 in the open state. In the section, the connection of the spreading arms 12 via the articulation axes 8 to the upper collar 14 can be seen.
  • the segmented engagement element 3 is integrated into the upper collar 14.
