Abstract

The laundry drying unit with a main drying frame and at least one adjustable additional drying frame comprises a connector element (11) provided with a crosshead (14) with axle stumps (18, 19) serving also for attachment of the additional drying frame.

Description

The The invention relates to a laundry drying rack with a main drying frame, consisting of opposite ones crossmembers for holding the drying rods or leashes and two longitudinal members, on which joints over legs are arranged and at least one, on the main drying frame adjustable arranged additional drying frame.

After EP 0 931 871 B1 is a laundry drying rack with a main frame, which are associated with joints legs and with side frames, which are arranged adjustable on the main frame, the legs and the side frames are connected via the same joints with the main frame, wherein between plate-shaped projections of first joint parts second hinge parts an upper hinge axis are pivotally guided and wherein the leg connected to the second joint parts is pivotally connected about a second hinge axis with the first joint parts, known. This requires a complex construction, since different functions must be accommodated in a confined space. Furthermore, left and right components are required, resulting in high tooling costs. Finally, the risk of strength problems is great, because of space must be partially gone to minimum wall thickness.

task The invention is a laundry drying rack with a main drying frame and an additional drying frame hinged thereto create, in which the joint parts are optimally designed in terms of strength can and the number of different components and thus the number for the production necessary tools can be reduced to a minimum. The Installation must be easy and be sure of confusion.

These Task becomes according to claim 1 solved by that to Connection of the cross members with the longitudinal members of the Main dry frame and to accommodate the additional dry frame at one the cross member receiving connecting carrier integrally formed Crosshead with opposite stub axles is provided. Through the crosshead, it is possible to both the connection carrier insert left and right. It is just an injection molded part and thus a tool required.

By the formation of the stub axle as a pipe stub is the recording the side member very easy.

to The addition of the additional dry frame is a fork-shaped swivel joint with two Augansätzen provided that very easily over two opposite ones Axle stubs are clipped on; Also this hinge is both insert right and left. Through the connection over the Phillips with the main drying frame can add additional drying frame both at the longitudinal as well as be arranged on the broad side of the main drying frame.

In Another embodiment of the invention, the cross member of Main drying frame over an intermediate piece from two cross member parts composed, where expediently a cross member the carrier the additional dry frame corresponds, resulting in further savings possible are. There is also only one tool needed here, as the parts also Both right and left can be used.

Finally is to further simplify and minimize manufacturing costs possible, that the Joints for the legs are molded to the lower step. By double-sided Training the Rinnen for the foothold is here again the same component right and insert on the left.

One embodiment The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to the drawings. It demonstrate:

1 an overall view of a laundry drying rack without Zusatztrockenrahmen,

2 a partial view,

3 a partial view with arranged on the broadside Zusatztrockenrahmen,

4 a partial view with arranged on the longitudinal side Zusatztrockenrahmen,

5 a connection carrier with a crosshead is shown in perspective,

6 a fork-shaped rotary joint shown in perspective and

7 an alternative solution of a connecting support with molded-on locking channels for the legs.

A clothes drying rack 1 consists essentially of a main drying frame 2 , Legs 3 and an additional dry frame 4 ,

The main dry frame 2 consists of two side members 5 the over joints 6 the legs 3 pick up and two cross beams 7 , between which dry rods 8th run, together. The drying rods 8th Of course, they can also be replaced by linen.

The crossbeams 7 consist of two cross member parts 9 together, over an intermediate piece 10 are connected. The intermediate piece 10 is with a hook 31 provided on the advantageous, for example, a staple bag can be attached.

The crossbeams 7 are with the longitudinal members 5 via a connection carrier 11 together. The connection carrier 11 is stepped with a lower step 12 and an upper level 13 formed, the lower stage 12 a crosshead 14 carries, whose axis 15 approximately in alignment with the upper step 13 is arranged and the upper stage 13 ends in a connecting pin 16 for receiving the cross member 7 or the cross member parts 9 , For connection with the cross member parts 9 is the connecting pin 16 with a depression 17 provided for embossing.

The crosshead 14 consists of intersecting stub axle 18 in the longitudinal direction and 19 in the transverse direction. Here are at least the stub axle 18 tubular formed around the side members 5 to be able to record.

The depression 17 can of course be designed as a bore, so that the fuse of the cross member 7 with the connection carrier 11 over a pushed through the hole dry rod 8th can be done.

With 20 is the fork-shaped pivot for receiving the carrier 21 additional drying frame 4 designated. The swivel joint 20 is with two eyes 22 with holes 23 over which it is optional on the stub axle 18 when arranging the additional drying frame 4 on the broadside or over the stub axle 19 when arranging an additional dry frame 4 on the long side 25 is clipped.

The swivel joint 20 is analogous to the design of the connection carrier 11 with a connecting pin 16 and a depression or bore 17 for connection to the carrier 21 Mistake. The carriers 21 also take drying rods between them 8th on. The carrier corresponds to this 21 in its dimensions the cross member part 9 , As 4 can be taken from the carrier 21 at its free end with a hook having a cap 32 be provided, which can be attached to the hook advantageous, for example, a staple bag or, for example, a hanger can be hung. In the embodiments according to 1 to 4 are the mainstays 3 about a joint 6 through the axis of rotation 26 with the longitudinal beams 5 connected. Through an undercut 27 in the longitudinal area 28 of the joint 6 there is a locking of the legs 3 with the main frame 2 ,

In an alternative solution according to 7 becomes the joint 6 through to the connection carrier 11 Molded locking grooves 29 replaced. For pivoting serve the axes of rotation 30 , In the case of double-sided execution of the locking grooves, a left-right use of the component is again possible. Of course, a specific training for only left or right use is possible.
