Abstract

The invention provides a clothes drying apparatus with a central post member, a collar member axially displaceably mounted on the supporting post member and a plurality of support arms. A plurality of clothes line portions extend between the support arms. Operating means are provided to spread the support arms from a rest position into an extended position in which the clothes line portions extending between the support arms are in an essentially tensioned condition. In order to avoid a contamination and muddling of the hanging down line portions when the apparatus is in its inoperative position, cavities are provided between the central post and the support arms which receive and protect the hanging down line portions. For this purpose the support arms are provided with rigidly or pivotally mounted blade members which cover these cavities.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Wäschegestell mit den im Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1 aufgezeigten Merkmalen.The present invention relates to a laundry rack with the features shown in the preamble of claim 1.

Ein Wäschegestell der gattungsgemässen Art ist z.B. aus der CH-PS 390 863 bekannt und in zahlreichen Ausführungsformen auf dem Markt präsent. Ein solches Wäschegestell kann von einer Gebrauchsstellung, in welcher ein Wäscheseil zwischen im Beispielsfall vier abstehenden Tragarmen gespannt und somit zur Aufnahme der Wäsche bereit ist, in eine zusammengeklappte Ruhestellung gebracht werden, in der die sich zwischen den Tragarmen erstreckenden Wäscheseilabschnitte lose herunterhängen. Nachteilig dabei ist, dass die lose herunterhängenden Wäscheseilabschnitte dazu neigen, sich zu verwirren, dass sie einer Verschmutzung ausgesetzt sind, wenn das gesamte Wäschegestell nicht mit einer Hülle umschlossen wird, und dass ein dermassen zusammengeklapptes Wäschegestell, wenn es am Gebrauchsort stehengelassen wird, insgesamt unästhetisch und infolge der ungeordnet herumhängenden Wäscheseilabschnitte unordentlich wirkt.A laundry rack of the generic type is e.g. known from CH-PS 390 863 and present in numerous embodiments on the market. Such a laundry rack can be brought from a position of use, in which a laundry rope is stretched between four projecting support arms in the example and is thus ready to receive the laundry, into a folded rest position in which the laundry rope sections extending between the support arms hang loosely. The disadvantages here are that the loosely hanging laundry rope sections tend to become confused, that they are exposed to contamination if the entire laundry rack is not enclosed by a cover, and that a laundry rack folded to such an extent, if it is left at the place of use, is overall unaesthetic and looks messy due to the messy hanging rope sections.

Um diese Nachteile zu vermeiden, wird z.B. in der DE-OS 32 00 013 vorgeschlagen, ein gattungsgemässes Wäschegestell derart weiterzubilden, dass dieses mit einer Wäscheleineneinzugsvor richtung versehen wird, durch die die Wäscheleine beim Zusammenklappen des Wäschegestells automatisch in die Arme des Gestells eingezogen wird. Theoretisch ist es wohl möglich, das angestrebte Ziel mit einer solchen Einzugsvorrichtung zu erreichen, doch umfasst diese eine Vielzahl von störungsanfälligen, dem Verschleiss unterworfenen Teilen; dies ist aber speziell bei einem Haushaltartikel für den täglichen Bedarf unerwünscht, da ein solcher möglichst während vieler Jahre problemlos funktionieren soll. Dazu kommt der Kostenfaktor: Eine vergleichsweise komplizierte Seileinzugsmechanik erhöht die Herstellungskosten eines gattungsgemässen Wäschegestells in beträchtlichem Masse, insbesondere wenn auf eine robuste, gegen Fehlbedienung unempfindliche Konstruktion geachtet werden muss.To avoid these disadvantages, e.g. in DE-OS 32 00 013 proposed to further develop a generic laundry rack in such a way that it is provided with a clothes line feed device through which the clothes line is automatically drawn into the arms of the rack when the laundry rack is folded. Theoretically, it is possible to achieve the desired goal with such a retraction device, but this comprises a large number of parts which are susceptible to malfunction and are subject to wear; however, this is particularly undesirable in the case of a household article for daily use, since it should function without problems for as many years as possible. In addition, there is the cost factor: a comparatively complicated rope pull-in mechanism increases the manufacturing costs of a generic laundry rack to a considerable extent, especially if a robust construction which is insensitive to incorrect operation has to be taken into account.

Die vorliegende Erfindung hat zur Aufgabe, die eingangs genannten Nachteile der bekannten, gattungsgemässen Wäschegestelle auf eine völlig andere, bisher nicht bekannte Art auszuschalten.The object of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned disadvantages of the known, generic laundry racks in a completely different, previously unknown way.

Der allgemeine Grundgedanke der Erfindung besteht darin, das Wäscheseil bei zusammengeklapptem Wäschegestell in dafür vorgesehene Hohlräume gleichsam "einzupacken" und nicht in die Arme des Gestells einzuziehen.The general basic idea of the invention is to "pack" the laundry rope into the cavities provided for it when the laundry rack is folded up and not to pull it into the arms of the rack.

Demzufolge liegt der Erfindung insbesondere die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Wäschegestell der gattungsgemässen Art so weiterzubilden, dass auf einfachste Weise, ohne Bereitstellung einer auf wendigen, damit teuren und störungsanfälligen Mechanik, sichergestellt ist, dass die lose herabhängenden Wäscheseilabschnitte bei zusammengelegtem Wäschegestell gegen Verschmutzung und Verwirrung geschützt sind, wobei gleichzeitig ein ästhetisch ansprechendes Erscheinungsbild des zusammengelegten Wäschegestells angestrebt wird.Accordingly, the invention is based in particular on the object of further developing a laundry rack of the generic type in such a way that it is ensured in the simplest way, without provision of an agile, therefore expensive and fault-prone mechanism, that the loosely hanging laundry rope sections are protected against contamination and confusion when the laundry rack is folded are, while at the same time striving for an aesthetically pleasing appearance of the folded laundry rack.

Besondere Ausführungsarten und Weiterbildungen des Erfindungsgegenstandes sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen 2 bis 14 umschrieben.This object of the invention is achieved in a generic laundry rack based on the features in the characterizing part of claim 1. Special embodiments and developments of the subject matter of the invention are described in the dependent claims 2 to 14.

Das Wäschegestell 1 besitzt im Beispielsfall vier in gleichmässigem Abstand voneinander um einen vertikal stehenden Mast 2 angeordnete Arme 3, die gemeinsam als Träger für ein Wäscheseil 7 dienen, dessen Abschnitte 7' sich von Tragarm 3 zu Tragarm 3 erstrecken, wenn diese in ihrer auseinandergespreizten Stellung (Gebrauchssetellung des Wäschegestells) sind, wie es in Fig. 1 und 3 dargestellt ist. Die Verbindung der Arme 3 mit dem Mast 2 erfolgt einerseits über einen Tragring 4, der entlang des Mastes 2 verschiebbar angeordnet ist. Der Tragring 4 besitzt radial abstehende Stege 5, an welchen das jeweils untere Ende der Arme 3 schwenkbar befestigt ist. Andererseits ist je eine jedem Arm 3 zugeordnete Strebe 8 vorgesehen, die einerends, im Abstand zum unteren Ende der Arme 3, an diesen gelenkig befestigt ist. Das andere Ende, d.h. das dem Arm 3 abgekehrte Ende der Streben 8, ist an einem Kopfteil 10 des Mastes 2 ebenfalls schwenkbar gelagert.The laundry rack 1 has in the example case four arms 3 arranged at a uniform distance from one another about a vertically standing mast 2, which together serve as a support for a laundry rope 7, the sections 7 'of which extend from support arm 3 to support arm 3 when they are in their spread apart position (Use position of the laundry rack) are as shown in Figs. 1 and 3. The connection of the arms 3 to the mast 2 takes place on the one hand via a support ring 4 which is arranged displaceably along the mast 2. The support ring 4 has radially projecting webs 5, to which the respective lower end of the arms 3 is pivotally attached. On the other hand, a strut 8 assigned to each arm 3 is provided, which is articulated to one end at a distance from the lower end of the arms 3. The other end, i.e. the end of the struts 8 facing away from the arm 3 is likewise pivotably mounted on a head part 10 of the mast 2.

Bei Nichtgebrauch des Wäschegestells 1 sind die Arme 3 gegen den Mast 2 geschwenkt und folglich auch die Streben 8; der Tragring 4 befindet sich in seiner untersten Position und die zovor gespannten Wäscheseilabschnitte 7' hängen lose zwischen den Armen 3 durch.When the laundry rack 1 is not in use, the arms 3 are pivoted against the mast 2 and consequently also the struts 8; the support ring 4 is in its lowest position and the previously stretched laundry rope sections 7 'sag loosely between the arms 3.

Um nun eine Verschmutzung und ein Verwirren der lose durchhängenden Wäscheseilabschnitte zu verhindern, sieht die Erfindung generell vor, dass bei eingezogener Ruhestellung der Arme 3, zwischen den Armen 3 und dem Mast 2, Hohlräume geschaffen sind, in welchen die sonst lose herabhängenden Wäscheseilabschnitte aufgenommen werden. Dabei bietet es sich an, zur Schaffung dieser . Hohlräume die Arme 3 mit beidseitig von deren Vorderkante abstehenden Flügelelementen zu versehen, die in Fig. 1 bis 3 allgemein mit 6 bezeichnet sind. Wie im folgenden noch näher erläutert werden wird, begrenzen diese Flügelelemente 6, zusammen mit den Seitenflächen der Tragarme 3 und mit Bereichen der Oberfläche des Mastes 2, vier Hohlräume 14 zur Aufnahme der herabhängenden Wäscheseilabschnitte, sobald das Wäschegestell 1 in seiner zusammengeklappten Ruhelage ist. Diese Situation ist in einer schematischen Seitenansicht in Fig. 2 dargestellt. Man sieht schon aus dieser schematischen Darstellung, dass das Wäschegestell derart einen ordentlichen und ästhetisch befriedigenden Anblick bietet.In order to prevent contamination and confusion of the loosely sagging laundry rope sections, the invention generally provides that when the arms 3 are retracted, between the arms 3 and the mast 2, cavities are formed create in which the otherwise loosely hanging laundry rope sections are accommodated. It makes sense to create this. Cavities to provide the arms 3 with wing elements projecting on both sides from their front edge, which are generally designated 6 in FIGS. 1 to 3. As will be explained in more detail below, these wing elements 6, together with the side surfaces of the support arms 3 and with areas of the surface of the mast 2, limit four cavities 14 for receiving the hanging laundry rope sections as soon as the laundry rack 1 is in its folded rest position. This situation is shown in a schematic side view in FIG. 2. One can already see from this schematic representation that the laundry rack offers such a neat and aesthetically satisfying sight.

Für die praktische Ausführung eines Wäschegestells, das die erfindungsgemäss gesteckten Ziele erreichen soll, bestehen eine Anzahl von verschiedenen Möglichkeiten. Neben der Variante, dass der Mast 2 mit verhältnismässig grossem Querschnitt ausgebildet und mit achsparallel verlaufenden, durch die eingeklappten Arme 3 verschliessbaren Vertiefungen versehen ist, -diese Möglichkeit wird hier nur nebenbei erwähnt und ist auch nicht zeichnerisch dargestellt -, scheint eine praxisgerechte Lösung zu sein, die Tragarme 3 mit seitlich abstehenden Flügeln zu versehen, die entweder starr oder schwenkbar an den Armen 3, vorzugsweise im Bereich deren vorderen Kante befestigt sind.There are a number of different options for the practical implementation of a laundry rack which is intended to achieve the goals set according to the invention. In addition to the variant that the mast 2 is formed with a relatively large cross section and is provided with axially parallel depressions that can be closed by the folded-in arms 3, this possibility is only mentioned here by the way and is also not shown in the drawing, seems to be a practical solution to provide the support arms 3 with laterally projecting wings which are either rigidly or pivotally attached to the arms 3, preferably in the area of their front edge.

Ein erstes Ausführungsbeispiel einer solchen Konstruktion ist als Querschnitt in einer Horizontalebene durch das geschlossene Wäschegestell in Fig. 4 dargestellt. Der Mast 2 ist durch ein generell zylindrisches Aluminium-Hohlprofil gebildet, das jedoch vier entlang seines Umfanges gleichmässig verteilt angeordnete, längsverlaufende Vertiefungen 9 aufweist. Diese nehmen, im zusammengeklappten Zustand des Wäschegestells, die Tragarme 3 auf, welch letztere durch Kastenprofile gebildet sind. Eine solche Anordnung ergibt eine ausgeprägte Stabilität bei vergleichsweise geringen Querschnittsabmessungen.A first exemplary embodiment of such a construction is shown as a cross section in a horizontal plane through the closed laundry rack in FIG. 4. The mast 2 is formed by a generally cylindrical aluminum hollow profile, which, however, has four longitudinally extending depressions 9 arranged uniformly distributed along its circumference. These take up, in the folded state of the laundry rack, the support arms 3, the latter being formed by box profiles. Such an arrangement results in a pronounced stability with comparatively small cross-sectional dimensions.

Die Kastenprofile besitzen einen gegen den Mast 2 offenen Hohlraum 11, in welchen die Streben 8 eintauchen. Der vom Mast 2 abgewandte Teil der Kastenprofile, das die Arme 3 bildet, ist mit Bohrungen 12 zur Aufnahme des Wäscheseils 7 versehen. Das äussere, geschlossene Ende der Kastenprofile ist im Fall des Beispiels gemäss Fig. 4 mit je zwei im Bereich der äusseren Kante des Armes 3 angebrachten, von diesem abstehenden Flügelelementen 6a versehen. Bei der Ausführung nach Fig. 4 sind diese-Flügeielemente 6a Teils des Kastenprofils, d.h. einstückig an diesem angeformt. Sie erstrecken sich von der Seitenfläche 3a etwas geneigt, unter einem leicht spitzen Winkel, gegen aussen, wobei deren Breite so bemessen ist, dass deren freie Kante 6' in unmittelbare Nähe der freien Kante 6' des benachbarten Flügelelementes 6a zu liegen kommt bzw. diese sogar berührt.The box profiles have a cavity 11 open towards the mast 2, in which the struts 8 dip. The part of the box sections facing away from the mast 2, which forms the arms 3, is provided with bores 12 for receiving the laundry rope 7. In the case of the example according to FIG. 4, the outer, closed end of the box profiles is provided with two wing elements 6a attached in the area of the outer edge of the arm 3 and projecting therefrom. 4, these flight elements 6a are part of the box profile, i.e. integrally molded on this. They extend slightly inclined from the side surface 3a, at a slightly acute angle, towards the outside, the width of which is dimensioned such that the free edge 6 'thereof comes to lie in the immediate vicinity of the free edge 6' of the adjacent wing element 6a even touched.

Damit sind, bei zusammengeklapptem Wäschegestell, vier Hohlräume 14 geschaffen, die durch zwei benachbarte Flügelelemente 6a, zwei benachbarte Aussenflächen 3a der Arme 3 und einen Bereich 2a der Aussenfläche des Mastes 2 begrenzt sind. In diesen vier Hohlräumen 14 finden die herabhängenden Wäscheseilabschnitte 7a des Wäscheseils 7 Aufnahme. Die Länge der Flügelelemente 6a ist dabei so bemessen, dass mit Sicherheit die Gesamt-Längenausdehnung der herabhängenden Seilabschnitte abgedeckt bzw. "verpackt" ist; d.h. die Flügelelemente 6a erstrecken sich mindestens von der für den äussersten Seilabschnitt 7a vorgesehenen Bohrung 12 der Arme 3 bis zum Umlenkpunkt des innersten Seilabschnittes 7a. Die exakte Länge ist im Einzelfall festzulegen.Thus, when the laundry rack is folded, four cavities 14 are created, which are delimited by two adjacent wing elements 6a, two adjacent outer surfaces 3a of the arms 3 and an area 2a of the outer surface of the mast 2. The hanging laundry rope sections 7a of the laundry rope 7 are accommodated in these four cavities 14. The length of the wing elements 6a is dimensioned such that the total length of the hanging cable sections is covered or "packed" with certainty; i.e. the wing elements 6a extend at least from the bore 12 of the arms 3 provided for the outermost cable section 7a to the deflection point of the innermost cable section 7a. The exact length is to be determined in individual cases.

In der Fig. 5 ist eine ähnliche Ausführung wie in Fig. 4 in einem entsprechenden Schnitt zu sehen. Wiederum ist ein Mast 2 mit vier umfangsmässig verteilt angeordneten Vertiefungen 9 vorgesehen, welch letztere die als Kastenprofil ausgebildeten Arme 3 aufnehmen. Im Gegensatz zum Ausführungsbeispiel gemäss Fig. 4 sind hier jedoch die Flügelelemente 6b nicht einstückig am Kastenprofil der Arme 3 angeformt, sondern durch separate, auf die Stirnfläche der Kastenprofile aufgeschobene Doppelflugel-Profile 6c gebildet. Im übrigen ist die starre Anordnung, der Anstellwinkel und die dimensionale Bemessung weitgehend gleich.5 shows an embodiment similar to that in FIG. 4 in a corresponding section. Again, a mast 2 with four circumferentially distributed recesses 9 is provided, the latter receiving the arms 3 designed as a box profile. In contrast to the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 4, however, the wing elements 6b are not integrally formed on the box profile of the arms 3, but are formed by separate double-wing profiles 6c pushed onto the end face of the box profiles. Otherwise, the rigid arrangement, the angle of attack and the dimensioning are largely the same.

In der Fig. 6 ist ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel gezeigt, das von der Darstellung her demjenigen in Fig. 4 entspricht und auch vom Grundaufbau her ähnlich ist. Der Unterschied zur Ausführung gemäss Fig. 4 ist im wesentlichen darin zu erblicken, dass die Flügelelemente 6d schwenkbar an den die Arme 3 bildenden Kastenprofilen gelagert sind. Zu diesem Zweck sind einerseits die gegen aussen gerichteten Stirnkanten der Arme 3 beidseitig mit geschlitzten, hohlzylindrischen Aufnahmen 15 versehen, welche einen ersten Schamierteil bilden. Der zweite Schamierteil ist ein zylindrischer Körper 16, der an der einen Längskante der Flügelelemente 6d angeformt ist. Dadurch, dass der teilweise längs aufgeschlitzte Zylindermantel der Aufnahmen 15 zwei freie Längskanten aufweist, sind zwei Anschläge für die Flügelelemente 6d gebildet: Der erste Anschlag begrenzt die Verschwenkbewegung des Flügeleiementes 6d nach innen, d.h. gegen den Mast 2 hin, so dass der schon zuvor erwähnte, leicht spitze Anstellwinkel zur Armseitenfläche 3a gewährleistet ist, bei dem die freien Längskanten benachbarter Flügeleiemente 6d nahe beeinander sind bzw. sich leicht berühren. (Rechte Hälfte in Fig.6). Der zweite Anschlag begrenzt die Verschwenkbewegung der Flügelelemente 6d nach aussen, in der Weise, dass diese bei voll ausgeschwenkter Lage annähernd parallel zur Armseitenfläche 3a verlaufen.(Linke Hälfte in Fig. 6).FIG. 6 shows a further exemplary embodiment, which corresponds to the representation in FIG. 4 and is also similar in basic structure. The difference to the embodiment according to FIG. 4 can essentially be seen in the fact that the wing elements 6d are pivotably mounted on the box profiles forming the arms 3. For this purpose, on the one hand, the end edges of the arms 3 directed towards the outside are provided on both sides with slotted, hollow-cylindrical receptacles 15, which form a first hinge part. The second hinge part is a cylindrical body 16, which is formed on one longitudinal edge of the wing elements 6d. Because the partially longitudinally slit cylinder jacket of the receptacles 15 has two free longitudinal edges, two stops are formed for the wing elements 6d: the first stop limits the pivoting movement of the wing element 6d inwards, i.e. towards the mast 2, so that the previously mentioned, slightly acute angle of attack to the arm side surface 3a is ensured, in which the free longitudinal edges of adjacent wing elements 6d are close to one another or touch slightly. (Right half in Fig. 6). The second stop limits the pivoting movement of the wing elements 6d outwards in such a way that, when the position is fully pivoted out, they run approximately parallel to the arm side surface 3a (left half in FIG. 6).

In den Fig. 7a bis 7d sind, jeweils in einem der Fig. 6 entsprechenden Viertelquerschnitt, verschiedene Varianten der Ausbildung der schwenkbaren Flügelelemente 6 dargestellt.7a to 7d, various variants of the design of the pivotable wing elements 6 are shown, each in a quarter cross-section corresponding to FIG. 6.

Die Fig. 7a veranschaulicht, dass die Flügelemente 6e an ihren freien Längskanten mit Führungsfortsätzen 17 versehen sein können, die vorzugsweise einstückig mit den Flügelelementen 6e ausgebildet sind und sich in einem leicht spitzen Winkel von diesen weg gegen das Zentrum des Mastes 2 hin erstrecken. Die eigentlichen Flügelemen- . te 6d sind dabei ebene Körper, z.B. aus Aluminium oder Kunststoff; das gleiche gilt für die Führungsfortsätze 17.FIG. 7a illustrates that the wing elements 6e can be provided on their free longitudinal edges with guide extensions 17, which are preferably made in one piece with the wing elements 6e are formed and extend at a slightly acute angle away from them towards the center of the mast 2. The actual wing menu. te 6d are flat bodies, for example made of aluminum or plastic; the same applies to the guide extensions 17.

  • Fig. 7b veranschaulicht, dass die Flügelelemente 6f von ihrer Schwenkachse ausgehend mit stetig abnehmendem Verrundungsradius gekrümmt ausgebildet sein können. Die Endbereiche 17a, die eine verhältnissmässig starke Krümmung aufweisen, übernehmen dabei die Funktion von Führungsfortsätzen ähnlich derjenigen wie in Fig. 7a gezeigt.7b illustrates that the wing elements 6f, starting from their pivot axis, can be curved with a continuously decreasing radius of curvature. The end regions 17a, which have a relatively strong curvature, assume the function of guide extensions similar to that shown in FIG. 7a.
  • Fig. 7c veranschaulicht, dass die Flügelelemente 6g durch ebene Körper gebildet sind, deren Endbereiche 17b gegen innen abgebogen sind, um, hier in etwas vermindertem Masse, die Aufgabe der Führungsfortsätze zu übemehmen.7c illustrates that the wing elements 6g are formed by flat bodies, the end regions 17b of which are bent towards the inside in order to take over the task of the guide extensions, to a somewhat reduced extent here.
  • Fig. 7d schliesslich veranschaulicht eine Variante, bei der die Flügelelemente 6 h durch leicht gekrümmte bzw. gewölbte Körper gebildet sind, ohne dass ausgeprägte Führungsfortsätze vorhanden wären.7d finally illustrates a variant in which the wing elements 6 h are formed by slightly curved or curved bodies, without pronounced guide extensions being present.

Die Aufgabe der Führungsfortsätze bzw. der als solche dienenden Kantenbereiche liegt in erster Linie darin, das Hineinleiten der herabhängenden Wäscheseilabschnitte in die Hohlräume 14 hinein zu unterstützen und die eingezogenen Seilabschnitte gegen die beiden Seitenbereiche der Hohlräume zu leiten. Im übrigen können entlang der Arme verschiebbar gelagerte Führungselemente vorgesehen sein, die eine zwangsläufige Führung der Seilabschnitte in die Hohlräume 14 hinein bewirken; die Ausbildung dieser Führungselemente im einzelnen ist jedoch nicht Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung, ist deshalb nicht in den Zeichnungen dargestellt und braucht daher auch nicht näher erläutert zu werden.The task of the guide extensions or the edge regions serving as such is primarily to support the introduction of the hanging laundry rope sections into the cavities 14 and to guide the retracted rope sections against the two side areas of the cavities. Furthermore, guide elements which are displaceably mounted along the arms can be provided, which inevitably lead the cable sections into the cavities 14; However, the design of these guide elements in detail is not the subject of the present invention, is therefore not shown in the drawings and therefore does not need to be explained in more detail.

Je nachdem, ob die Arme 3 mit starren oder schwenkbaren Flügelelementen 6 versehen sind, gestaltet sich die Handhabung des Wäschegestells unterschiedlich. Bei starren Flügelelementen (z.B. 6a oder 6b) ist keine eigentliche, zusätzliche Bedienung erforderlich. Beim Zusammenklappen des Wäschegestells 1 aus der Gebrauchsposition in die eingeschwenkte Ruhelage muss eventuell lediglich von Hand etwas nachgeholfen werden, damit die zunehmend mehr und mehr herabhängenden Wäscheseilabschnitte 7' hinter die Flügelelemente zurückgleiten und in den dafür vorgesehenen Hohlräumen 14 Aufnahme finden. Falls die zuvor erwähnten, verschiebbar gelagerten Führungsele- . mente vorgesehen sind, erübrigt sich ein Nachhelfen von Hand und das Umschliessen der herabhängenden Wäscheseilabschnitte erfolgt selbstätig.The handling of the laundry rack is different depending on whether the arms 3 are provided with rigid or pivotable wing elements 6. With rigid wing elements (e.g. 6a or 6b), no additional operation is actually required. When folding the laundry rack 1 from the use position into the pivoted-in rest position, it may only be necessary to help a little by hand so that the increasingly more and more hanging laundry rope sections 7 'slide back behind the wing elements and are received in the cavities 14 provided for this purpose. If the aforementioned, slidably mounted guide elements. elements are provided, there is no need for manual assistance and the hanging laundry rope sections are enclosed automatically.

Bei schwenkbar angeordneten Flügelelementen (z.B. 6d oder 6e-6h) die vorzugsweise innerhalb ihrer Schwenklagerung eine gewisse Reibung aufweisen, ist zu erwarten, dass die einzelnen Flügelelemente während des Aufklappens des Wäschegestells durch Wir kung der sich anspannenden Seilabschnitte von selbst herausgeschwenkt werden; eventuell können Sie nach erfolgtem Aufspannen des Wäschegestells noch in ihre vollständig herausgeschwenkte Position gebracht werden, falls dies erforderlich oder wünschenswert sein sollte. Beim Zusammenklappen des Wäschegestells hingegen werden die Flügelelemente in ihrer ausgeschwenkten Position bleiben, bis die Arme vollständig eingeschwenkt sind. Falls keine verschiebbar gelagerten Führungselemente vorgesehen sind, werden die herabhängenden Seilabschnitte weitgehend von den an den Flügelelementen angebrachten Führungsfortsätzen in die zur Aufnahme der Seilabschnitte vorgesehenen Hohlräume geleitet, wobei eventuell von Hand ein wenig nachgeholfen werden muss, um dann die Flügeleiemente manuell zu schliessen. Beim Vorhandensein der verschiebbaren Führungselemente verbleibt nach erfolgtem Zusammenklappen des Wäschegestells lediglich noch, die Rügelelemente von Hand zusammenzuklappen. Es ist denkbar, auch diese Operation durch zweckmässige Gestaltung des Wäschegestell-Mechanismus zu automatisieren, was hier jedoch auch nicht näher erläutert zu werden braucht.In the case of pivotably arranged wing elements (e.g. 6d or 6e-6h), which preferably have a certain amount of friction within their pivot bearing, it is to be expected that the individual wing elements will be pivoted out of their own accord while the laundry rack is being opened by the effect of the tensioning cable sections; you may be able to move it to its fully swung-out position after the laundry rack has been opened, if this should be necessary or desirable. On the other hand, when the laundry rack is folded up, the wing elements will remain in their pivoted-out position until the arms are pivoted in completely. If no displaceably mounted guide elements are provided, the hanging cable sections are largely guided from the guide extensions attached to the wing elements into the cavities provided for receiving the cable sections, whereby a little manual help may be necessary in order to then manually close the wing elements. If the sliding guide elements are present, all that remains after the laundry rack has been folded is to fold the frame elements by hand. It is conceivable to also automate this operation by appropriately designing the laundry rack mechanism, but this does not need to be explained here either.
