Carrying frame for items of laundry

Carrying frames for items of laundry are known in a wide variety of shapes and designs. For drying underwear, nightgowns, stockings, handkerchiefs and the like, one uses, for example, a clothes horse that consists of two pivotable against each other. Frame or double T-shaped :. Stand bodies exist and are connected to one another on the upper crossbeam with a number of laundry _{ropes e} The latter are taut when the frame or the stand body is swiveled out and ready to receive the laundry.

These drying racks can be easily set up and relocated on balconies, in laundry rooms or outdoors on a level floor and take up little space when folded. However, they have various disadvantages.Longer items of laundry such as shirts that are supposed to dry over a hanger cannot be hung on it because the known clothes horse are too low for this _e Also for drying over the bathtub, which is useful because of the good water drainage and especially in If small apartments without a balcony are preferred, these stands are not suitable, as the bottom of the bathtub is usually too small as a storage area _e Therefore, frame constructions are used in which, for example, two frames spanned with horizontal ropes can be swiveled at their upper end, fastened to one another and can be adjusted to the respective width of the bathtub so that the stand is supported with their feet on the edge of the bathtub. Another disadvantage of these stands is that they are because of

the low floor height and the relatively low load-bearing capacity exclusively for drying smaller items of laundry. are suitable. If, on the other hand, you want to hang clothes or suits outside for ventilation, you need a stably attached one Pole so that the items of clothing mentioned can hang freely. However, this can only be done with great effort Install on the balcony or at the window, so that despite the general need for ventilation in very few households such a pole is to be found,

The object of the present invention is to remedy this need and to create a support frame for items of laundry, in all places suitable for drying or airing an apartment or a house can be fastened quickly and securely, well adapted to the given space conditions can and is ideal both for drying items of laundry of all sizes and for airing clothes, coats and suits suitable is.

This object is achieved according to the invention with a mountable support frame which is characterized by the following features is: The frame consists of two parallel, vertically arranged rods, which at their upper ends with connected to a horizontal rod and angled at an acute angle to one side in the upper area, and the approximately in the middle area two U-shaped brackets connected to the rods and running horizontally with their legs have which can be displaced perpendicular to the plane formed by the vertical rods and in any displacement position can be locked, the lower legs of the stirrups being angled downwards at right angles at their ends

ORiGfNL INSPECTED

In the drawing, an embodiment of the invention is shown, which in the following with further features of Invention is explained. It shows

Fig. 1 is a support frame mounted on a balcony grid for Laundry items and

Fig. 2 shows the same frame attached to a thick wall.

Two rods 1 and 1 *, which are arranged vertically and parallel to one another in the assembled state, are over at their upper ends Sockets 2 and 2 * connected to a Qaerstange 3 in such a way that these can be pushed into sockets 2 and 2 * against slight resistance and can be moved in these. The top of the rods 1 and 1 * are both pointed around the little gold Angle bent to the same side and have cross bars aligned parallel to the rod plane at their lower ends 4 and 4 *, which are particularly necessary when setting up the support frame on bars for support.

To attach the support frame, ^{a U-shaped bracket 9 and 9 * are provided on the rods 1 and I 1} approximately in the middle area of the rods, with their horizontally extending legs 6 and 8 or 6 * and 8 * on the rods 1 and 1 * are attached so that they can be moved horizontally. The brackets 9 and 9 * have on their lower legs 8 and 8 ^{1 hooks Io and lo 1} which are angled downwards at right angles and with which the frame is attached to the wall or grille in the assembled state.

In order to be able to adapt the distance between rod 1 or l ^f and hooks Io or Io * quickly and easily to the thickness of the "wall provided for attachment", the brackets 9 and 9 * are each through the legs 6 and 8 or, 6 · and 8 * encompassing "brackets 12 and 12 * ^{" fastened to the rods 1 and l f} by means of screws 13 and 13 * in such a way that the brackets 9 and 9 * can be locked in any shifting position.

The legs 6 and 8 or 6 * and 8 »of the bracket 9 and 9 * should be so long that after clamping the support frame on the wall enough protrudes to the desired number To stretch laundry ropes 14 from one leg 8 to the other leg 8 *, on which the laundry to be dried is hung can. In addition, above the bracket 9 and 9 * up to the top laundry ropes are also stretched to the crossbar 3. In this way, the space available for draining can be reduced - for example above the bathtub - use it twice.

In addition to the above-mentioned uses for drying and airing items of clothing of all sizes, use the support frame for other purposes. For example, this can be used on balconies as a privacy screen against the neighbors can be used by covering the part protruding over the balcony grille with a cloth. In this form it serves at the same time also as sun protection, whereby the protruding stirrups still offer the advantage that you can put a board on it and has such a practical shelf.
