The innovation involves a laundry and clothes drying cupboard.

The task to be solved by the innovation consists in improving a laundry and clothes drying cabinet in which the hanging means can be easily adapted to suit different sized laundry or clothing items to be dried.

This task is solved by the innovation in that inside the cupboard there are at least two swivelling hanging racks, mounted at different heights and supported in their lying position, for holding the laundry and clothing to be dried.

The swivelling hanging racks allow for easy adjustment to suit different sized items of laundry or clothing to be dried, for example, by ensuring that at least the

the lowest hanging rack is folded into the non-use position On the other hand, for smaller items of laundry, the drying area can be used well with the hanging rack folded down

The drawing shows an example of the subject of the new^.g. It shows:

Fig. 1 a vertical section through the drying cabinet and

Fig. 2 shows a horizontal section through the drying cabinet.

The drying cabinet 1, made of sheet metal, contains a front that can be closed with a pivoting door 2, a lid 3, a base 4 and a rear wall 5. At different heights, frame-like hanging racks for the knitted and clothing items to be dried are pivotably attached. These hanging racks 6 each contain four to six hanging rods 7, preferably 5 hanging rods, one of which is hooked into two side-mounted brackets 10, which form a pivot bearing 9. These two pivot bearings 9 are located close to the rear wall 5 and the brackets 10 are preferably rigidly connected to the rear wall 5 or the side wall*!!. In the position of use, the hanging racks 6 assume a lying position and are supported in this position by a side stop 8 each. "Lying" is to be understood as meaning both a precisely horizontal and a slightly inclined position.

Location of the hanging area 6 can be understood. In the important

In the shower position, the hanging racks 6 can be folded up in the direction of the arrows A, whereby they then assume a slightly backwards inclined position and the uppermost hanging rack area rests loosely against the rear wall 9. A

The design variant consists in the fact that the stops are movable

lioh and can be «disengaged and disengaged by hand/ so that the hanging grates« 6 can be folded down when the attachments are disengaged &bgr;.

The lowest hanging rack is at a height of 400 to 700, preferably about 640 m» above the ground and the second lowest hanging rack is 800 to 1200 m» above the ground, preferably about 1120 m» above the ground, thus achieving convenient access when hanging up laundry and clothing.

Instead of the permanently mounted hanging rods 7 shown in the drawing with a diameter of about 30 to 40 mm, the hanging racks 6 can also contain permanently mounted or removable cords. Standard clotheslines can be used for such cords.

The drying cabinet has openings on one of its side walls at the top and bottom for air circulation to and from a heating and condensation cabinet located on the side of the drying cabinet, which serves to remove moisture and heat the air circulating in the drying cabinet.
