Clothes dryer

The invention relates to a clothes dryer, i.e. a drying rack for laundry, with a base frame or frame and two holders pivotably arranged on axles at its ends as well as displaceable between the holders arranged rods for receiving the laundry to be dried.

According to the invention, the rods are slidably arranged on two rods which extend over the length of the holder extend at right angles to their pivot axis and on their

one end are angled, x with the angled ends run exactly in the direction of the pivot axis of the holder. According to a further feature of the invention, each holder is arranged pivotably at one of the ends of the base frame with the aid of axle elements, of which at least one is formed by the angled end of the rod.

In the drawing, one embodiment is one Drying rack according to the invention shown as an example, namely shows, each in a perspective view,

Fig. 1 folded the dryer, Fig. 2 unfolded the dryer and FIG. 3 is a partial view of FIG. 2.

The invention aims to create a drying rack for laundry, which in the rest or closed position, in which it is not in use should take up little space, taking the form of a closed container of small thickness and has a pleasing appearance, and that in the position of use a variable number of parallel bars for the Receiving the laundry to be dried, the distance between these rods and thus the space requirement of the drying rack can also be changed.

Such a drying rack has a base frame or a frame 1, preferably made of plastic, which is in the is essentially U-shaped and on which two holders 2 and 3 are pivotably arranged at its ends, which, when they lie against the frame, together with this an elongated, completely closed container form small thickness.

In the exemplary embodiment shown, the cold stores 2, which are also preferably made of plastic and 3 in section U-shape and are each pivotable for itself on two axle elements 4 ^ seated in the paddles of the U-profiles of frame 1 and holders 2 and 3 and 4p arranged.

These holders 2 and 3 can be pivoted through 90 °. On the inside of each of the two holders 2 and 3 is one Arranged rod 5, which extends over its entire length, with rods between the rods of the two holders 6 are arranged displaceably at their ends with the aid of eyes 7.

The rods 5 run at right angles to the pivot axis X-X of the holder over most of their length and are with one end attached at 8 to the holder. The other end of these rods 5 is angled at 9, and the-

130041/0781

This angled part lies in the pivot axis X-X of the holder, so that it is in the closed position to the drying rack, in which it is not used, it is sufficient to return the bars 6 against the frame 1 of the drying rack, these rods, when they are moved on the rods 5, finally stack on top of one another on the end 9 of this rod, so that it is then possible to bring the holders 2 and 3 into the closed position by pivoting. The rods 6 with their eyes 7 at the ends in the direction of the axes X-X that form the end piece 9 of the rods 5 include, do not prevent this.

To bring the drying rack into the position of use, it is sufficient to carry out the opposite movements, i.e. to pivot the holders 2 and 3 until they are perpendicular to the frame 1, then depending on the quantity the laundry to be dried, the desired number of rods 6 to advance on the rods 5 and put them in the also to bring any distance.

In order to carry out the advancement of the rods into the position of use, a tension band could be provided, which the Connecting rods with a designated spacing.

In the embodiment shown in the drawing, the angled end piece 9 forms the rod 5

at the same time the pivot axis element 4 ₂ , so that each rod 5 is fastened on the one hand at 8 to the holders and on the other hand at ¹ J-i ^{n of the} pivot axis of this holder on the frame.

As can be seen in particular from FIG. 3, the eyes 7, which slide on the rods 5, are alternating to one or the other side relative to the rods 6 offset in such a way that they are on the angled End 9 with a reduced height compared to the thickness of these eyes, what the height of the frame 1 is reduced accordingly.
