perpendicular legs of the same held. Each wire frame is pivotable about a horizontal axis on a first one Articulated frame, so that there is the possibility of the wire frame in the storage position in the plane of this frame to pan. P.n when setting up the laundry rack in the position of use, the wire frame is pivoted horizontally. This position is held by the fact that the wire line is attached to its outermost piece of wire, i.e. the largest Distance from the pivot axis ^ detachable with a perpendicular Legs of the second rack frame is connected. This detachable connection also makes the two rack frames held in its cross-shaped position in plan.

In a known collapsible laundry rack of the prescribed Art (brochure Starmex clothes horse) results in the arrangement of the wire frames in three floors Hone the rack frame of about 163 cm. Must for shipping a box of the appropriate length is available.

The object of the innovation is to design a collapsible laundry rack of the type described above so that it can be used for hanging laundry or items of clothing

Wire length can be increased at will by the user

from the and that the manufacturer required packaging costs

Shipping aerincrer is made.

If a laundry rack has a usable height of 160 cm according to the innovation, then it is not necessary that it is used for shipping intended carton has a corresponding length, because in the packaging the upper parts and the lower parts of the Rack frames can be placed side by side. However, if the box is only slightly widened, the result is a Reduction of the box length to around 80 cm. The user of the laundry rack can easily adjust the rack frame bring them to their useful length by making the plug connections. In addition, the user can err. If necessary by plugging in the individual wire frame dti the hinged wire frame Increase the available length of the usable pieces of wire at will. If with a laundry rack according to the innovation, six hinged wire frames and six removable ones Wire frames are provided, there is an almost 100% increase in the usable length compared to the prior art. The individual wire frames can easily be attached. and staked out. The additional expense for packaging is only slightly, as the individual wire frames are placed on top of one another.

Plastic parts according to the further innovation are the same Execution both as joint parts for the hinged wire frames, and can also be used as clip-on parts for the clip-on wire frames.

A laundry rack according to the innovation has two elongated rectangular rack frames 10a and 10b of the same size, which are connected above and below on horizontal legs by means of a joint 13 pivotably about a vertical central axis.

The vertical legs are each connected at half height by means of a detachable plug connection 14. In the use- In the top view, the Gesrelirrahmen are pivoted at right angles to each other. The rack frames are on castors, so that the laundry rack can be driven.

The laundry is hung up on straight pieces of wire which are welded parallel to one another on rectangular wire frames 20. These wire frames are in the position of use arranged horizontally in three floors (Figure 1). At the height of each floor there is 10a between the legs on the Gestelirahnen a rod 16 welded on. Two wire frames 20 are attached to each rod in an articulated manner around the rod axis. In the horizontal In use position, each wire frame is held in that an eye 23 formed on it (FIG. 5) on one Button 17 is supported, which is in the corresponding floor height firmly attached to a vertical leg of the Gestelirrahmen 10b is. The fact that the button 17 is picked up by the eye 23 also results in a fixation of the right-angled position of the rack frame 10b to the other rack frame ι Oa. j

For each hinged wire frame 20 are Γ ^; 1η ° for hanging I

ι pieces of wire that can be used by laundry, each about 50 cm long, are provided

see, so that there is a usable length of 250 cm per wire frame and hinged on the entire laundry rack -lurch lie Wire frame results in a length of about 15m.

In the exemplary embodiment, the height of the rack frame is approximately 160 cm. The height of a frame part about 83 cm.

In order to bring the laundry rack into the storage position according to FIG. 3, the wire frames are unhooked from the knobs and placed in folded down the plane of the rack frame 10a. Then the two rack frames are placed one on top of the other Pivoted position according to Figure 3.

Plastic parts 22 are used to produce an articulated connection between the legs of the wire frames 20 around the rods 16 provided according to Figure 7. A closed bore is formed on them, into which one leg of a wire frame is inserted is, as well as a bore 22a at which a plug-on opening 22b is formed transversely thereto. This is used during manufacture a permanent articulated connection is established by attaching it to a rod 16.

Wire frames 25 are provided as additional parts, in Principle like the wire frame 20, but with a slightly smaller distance between the legs, at the ends of which also the Plastic parts 22 are attached. In the position of the laundry rack According to FIG. 1, a wire frame 25 is attached to a hinged wire frame 20. The two legs of the wire frame 25 au_ the outermost

axially parallel piece of wire of the wire frame 20 placed and the The two artificial gate parts 22 of the wire frame 25 are attached to the penultimate piece of wire of the wire frame 20 from below (see Figure 8). According to FIG. 4, there are others Usable pieces of wire arranged outside the rack frame. If there is another wire frame on each hinged wire frame 25 is plugged in, then the useful length of the laundry rack j is approximately doubled.

In the position of use of the laundry rack according to FIG the hinged wire frames of the two lower floors folded down on one side. In this position, the relevant Side to be hung on the wire frame of the top floor coat.
