Definitions
- the present invention relates to a laundry rack with the features listed in the preamble of claim 1.
- Laundry racks of this type are known, for example, from DE-A-32 49 358, EP-A-0 113 788, EP-A-0 113 789 and EP-A-0 134 826.
- the support arms are spread apart by means of a pull rope, the pulley-like back and forth between the upper end of the mast and a displaceable support sleeve, so that the support sleeve is moved upwards by pulling on this pull rope; as a result, the support arms of the laundry rack, which carry the laundry rope, are spread radially outwards.
- the support arms In the folded rest or starting position of the laundry rack, the support arms, usually four in number, but together with the respective associated, hinged strut each form an elongated pair of spreading legs, at the ends of which the force of the pulling rope acts parallel to the mast when the support arms to be spread out.
- This has the disadvantage that at the beginning of the spreading process of the arms, due to their almost parallel alignment to the mast, a disproportionately high pulling force on the pulling rope is required in order to get over the almost elongated or very acute angle between the support arm and the strut (depending on the point of view) and thus generate a sufficient radial force component for spreading the arms over the very acute angle between the support arm and the pulling direction of the pulling rope parallel to the mast.
- the force to be applied can be reduced, but not a radially acting force component can be generated, which considerably facilitates the initial spreading apart of the support arms and in most cases makes the pulley effect superfluous.
- the invention has for its object to develop and improve a laundry rack of the generic type such that the aforementioned disadvantages no longer occur.
- the drawing shows a schematic representation of a part of the laundry rack in the area of the upper mast part. It is only part of a single support arm, the strut assigned to it and the upper part of the mast.
- the washing rack 1 has a plurality of, for example four, equally spaced support arms 3 arranged around a vertical mast 2, which together serve as a carrier for a laundry rope (not shown), the sections of which differ Extend support arm to support arm when the arms 3 are in their spread apart position (use position of the clothes rack 1).
- the connection of the support arms 3 to the mast 2 takes place on the one hand via a support sleeve 4 which is arranged displaceably along the mast 2.
- the support sleeve 4 has radially projecting webs 5, on which the respective lower end of the support arms 3 is pivotally attached about a bolt 6.
- a strut 8 assigned to each support arm 3 is provided, which is fastened to one end at a distance from the lower end of the support arms 3 by a hinge pin 9 '.
- the other end, ie the end of the struts 8 facing away from the support arm 3, is mounted on a head part 10 of the mast 2, likewise pivotable about a pin 11.
- the arrangement is such that the length of the part 12, the lever arm part of the support arm 3, between the lower arm end and the point of engagement of the strut 8 has, for example, approximately the same length as the strut 8.
- the support arms 3 When the laundry rack 1 is not in use, the support arms 3 are pivoted against the mast 2, and consequently also the struts 8.
- the pair of expansion legs 12, 8 each formed by the arm part 12 and the strut 8 is therefore fully or almost fully stretched and the support sleeve 4 is located in their lowest position.
- a pull rope 14 is provided which is fastened at one end 15 to the head part 10 of the mast 2 and which in the example case has one of the four support arms via the bolts 6 'and 9' 3 runs.
- the bolts 6 'and 9' expediently take up rotatably mounted rollers 16 and 17, over which the traction cable 14 is guided and which reduce the friction.
- the free end (not shown) of the traction cable 14 is located beyond the roller 17 and hangs outwards with a small piece in order to be gripped by the operator's hand.
- the position of this rope end is at a comfortable position of approximately 0.80 to 1.20 m in height, so that the gripping and actuation of the rope 14 can be carried out comfortably and ergonomically without effort and without bending over.
- the support sleeve 4 which is displaceably mounted on the mast 2, is pulled upward, so that the arm part 12 and the strut 8 or through this Elements formed spreading leg pair are pulled against each other like scissors; as a result, the support arm 3 correspondingly extends outwards until a position is reached in which the support arms 3 are spread outwards so far that the laundry rope sections circulating between them are sufficiently tensioned to be able to hang laundry items on them.
- the traction force of the traction cable 14 on the support arm results in a pronounced torque, so that the laundry rack 1 or spread its support arms 3 with a correspondingly small amount of force.
- This torque results from a lever arm corresponding to the length of the arm part 12 and a component of the pull rope force acting in the direction of the arrow 21, the direction of which halves the angle enclosed between the rope strand pieces 18 and 20.
- the spreading of the support arms 3 is supported by a force component of the pull cable force acting on the bolt 6 'in the direction parallel to the mast 2, which strives to move the support sleeve 4 upwards.
- a pawl 22 provided on the support sleeve 4 slides with its bevel end 24 having a bevel 23 via latching openings which are arranged along a row on the mast 2 when the support sleeve 4 is pulled upwards.
- a spring 25 presses the pawl end 24 against the mast 2 or the row of latching openings in order to secure a latching position in one of the latching openings, so that an undesired downward movement of the support sleeve 4 is prevented when the support arms 3 have reached their expanded use position.
- the release of the latch for collapsing the laundry rack 1 is made possible by a cam 26 which can be actuated by hand by means of a handle (not shown), the circumference of which rests on the pawl 22.
- the desired effect can also be achieved if the deflection point provided on the support arm 3 for the traction cable 14 is provided at another location on the support arm 3.
- the prerequisite is that a sufficient distance is provided between the deflection point and the support sleeve 4 in order to achieve a substantial leverage effect on the support arm 3.
- this distance preferably corresponds at least to the distance between the support sleeve 4 and the joint 9, which is located between the support arm 3 and the strut 8. This also ensures that the end of the pull rope, when the laundry rack is in the unfolded position, does not reach down to the floor and is therefore not exposed to any or only insignificant soiling.

Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Wäschegestell mit den im Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 aufgeführten Merkmalen.The present invention relates to a laundry rack with the features listed in the preamble of claim 1.
Wäschegestelle dieser Art sind beispielsweise bekannt durch die DE-A-32 49 358, EP-A-0 113 788, EP-A-0 113 789 und EP-A-0 134 826. Das Auseinanderspreizen der Tragarme erfolgt dabei mittels eines Zugseiles, das flaschenzugartig zwischen dem oberen Ende des Mastes und einer verschiebbaren Traghülse hin- und hergeführt ist, so dass durch Ziehen an diesem Zugseil die Traghülse nach oben verschoben wird; als Folge davon werden die Tragarme des Wäschegestells, die das Wäscheseil tragen, radial nach aussen gespreizt.Laundry racks of this type are known, for example, from DE-A-32 49 358, EP-A-0 113 788, EP-A-0 113 789 and EP-A-0 134 826. The support arms are spread apart by means of a pull rope, the pulley-like back and forth between the upper end of the mast and a displaceable support sleeve, so that the support sleeve is moved upwards by pulling on this pull rope; as a result, the support arms of the laundry rack, which carry the laundry rope, are spread radially outwards.
In der AT-A-31 25 48 ist ein gattungsgemässes Wäschegestell beschrieben, bei welchem die Auseinanderspreizung der Tragarme dadurch erleichtert werden soll, dass am oberen Ende des Mastes und der verschiebbaren Traghülse und gegebenenfalls an einem Tragarm je eine Seilrolle gelagert ist, und dass das Seil zuerst über die Rolle an der verschiebbaren Traghülse, sodann über eine Rolle am Kopfende des Mastes und gegebenenfalls über eine Rolle am Tragarm nach unten geführt ist. Hier wird wiederum eine Flaschenzug-Wirkung angestrebt, d.h. eine Kraftübersetzung auf Kosten des Seilzug-Weges.In AT-A-31 25 48 a generic laundry rack is described, in which the spreading apart of the support arms is to be facilitated by the fact that a rope pulley is mounted on the upper end of the mast and the displaceable support sleeve and possibly on a support arm, and that Rope is first led down over the roller on the sliding support sleeve, then over a roller at the head end of the mast and possibly over a roller on the support arm. Here again, a pulley effect is sought, ie a power transmission at the expense of the cable way.
In der zusammengelegten Ruhe- oder Ausgangsposition des Wäschegestells bilden die Tragarme, üblicherweise vier an der Zahl, zusammen mit der ihnen jeweils zugeordneten, daran angelenkten Strebe aber je ein gestrecktes Spreizschenkelpaar, an dessen Enden die Kraft des Zugseiles parallel zum Mast wirkt, wenn die Tragarme aufgespreizt werden sollen. Dies hat den Nachteil, dass zu Beginn des Aufspreizvorganges der Arme infolge deren zum Mast nahezu paralleler Ausrichtung eine unverhältnismässig hohe Zugkraft am Zugseil erforderlich ist, um über den nahezu gestreckten bzw. sehr spitzen Winkel zwischen dem Tragarm und der Strebe (je nach Betrachtungsweise) hinwegzukommen und damit über den sehr spitzen Winkel zwischen Tragarm und der zum Mast parallelen Zugrichtung des Zugseiles eine zum Aufspreizen der Arme ausreichende, radiale Kraftkomponente zu erzeugen. Zwar kann mit den bekannten Anordnungen die aufzuwendende Kraft verringert, nicht jedoch eine radial wirkende Kraftkomponente erzeugt werden, die das anfängliche Auseinanderspreizen der Tragarme ganz wesentlich erleichtert und in den meisten Fällen die Flaschenzugwirkung überflüssig macht.In the folded rest or starting position of the laundry rack, the support arms, usually four in number, but together with the respective associated, hinged strut each form an elongated pair of spreading legs, at the ends of which the force of the pulling rope acts parallel to the mast when the support arms to be spread out. This has the disadvantage that at the beginning of the spreading process of the arms, due to their almost parallel alignment to the mast, a disproportionately high pulling force on the pulling rope is required in order to get over the almost elongated or very acute angle between the support arm and the strut (depending on the point of view) and thus generate a sufficient radial force component for spreading the arms over the very acute angle between the support arm and the pulling direction of the pulling rope parallel to the mast. With the known arrangements, the force to be applied can be reduced, but not a radially acting force component can be generated, which considerably facilitates the initial spreading apart of the support arms and in most cases makes the pulley effect superfluous.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Wäschegestell der gattungsgemässen Art derart weiterzubilden und zu verbessern, dass die vorerwähnten Nachteile nicht mehr auftreten. Insbesondere ist es Aufgabe der Erfindung, die Führung des Zugseiles so zu gestalten, dass sich das Wäschegestell durch eine verhältnismässig geringe Zugkraft am Zugseil in Gebrauchsstellung, d.h. mit aufgespreizten Tragarmen, bringen lässt, indem zumindest ein Tragarm bei der anfänglichen Betätigung des Wäscheseils durch Einwirkung der besagten radialen Kraftkomponente aus seiner ungünstigen Totpunktlage heraus in eine günstigere kinematische Position gebracht wird.The invention has for its object to develop and improve a laundry rack of the generic type such that the aforementioned disadvantages no longer occur. In particular, it is an object of the invention to design the guide of the pull rope in such a way that the laundry rack can be brought into the use position, ie with spreading support arms, by a relatively low pulling force on the pull rope, by at least one support arm during the initial actuation of the laundry rope is brought out of its unfavorable dead center position into a more favorable kinematic position by the action of said radial force component.
Die Lösung dieser Erfindungsaufgabe erfolgt bei einem gattungsgemässen Wäschegestell aufgrund der kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1. Besondere Ausführungsformen des Erfindungsgegenstandes und Weiterbildungen desselben sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen 2 bis 5 definiert.This object of the invention is achieved in a generic laundry rack on the basis of the characterizing features of patent claim 1. Special embodiments of the subject matter of the invention and further developments of the same are defined in
Im folgenden wird der Erfindungsgegenstand anhand eines in der beiliegenden Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert. Die Zeichnung zeigt eine schematische Darstellung eines Teils des Wäschegestells im Bereich des oberen Mastteiles. Es ist dabei nur ein Teil eines einzigen Tragarmes, die ihm zugeordnete Strebe und der obere Teil des Mastes zu sehen.The subject matter of the invention is explained in more detail below on the basis of an exemplary embodiment shown in the accompanying drawing. The drawing shows a schematic representation of a part of the laundry rack in the area of the upper mast part. It is only part of a single support arm, the strut assigned to it and the upper part of the mast.
Die allgemeine Ausführung eines solchen schirmartigen oder spinnennetzartigen Wäschegestells ist hinreichend durch zahlreiche in Haushaltungen vorhandene Exemplare sowie durch die eingangs genannten Veröffentlichungen bekannt, so dass sich ein näheres Eingehen auf deren Konstruktion sowie weitere zeichnerische Darstellungen erübrigen.The general design of such an umbrella-like or spider-web-like laundry rack is sufficiently known from numerous copies available in households and from the publications mentioned at the outset, so that there is no need to go into detail about their construction or other graphic representations.
Das Waschegestell 1 besitzt mehrere, z.B. vier in gleichmässigem Abstand voneinander um einen vertikal stehenden Mast 2 angeordnete Tragarme 3, die gemeinsam als Träger für ein (nicht dargestelltes) Wäscheseil dienen, dessen Abschnitte sich von Tragarm zu Tragarm erstrecken, wenn die Arme 3 in ihrer auseinandergespreizten Stellung (Gebrauchsstellung des Wäschegestells 1) sind. Die Verbindung der Tragarme 3 mit dem Mast 2 erfolgt einerseits über eine Traghülse 4, die entlang des Mastes 2 verschiebbar angeordnet ist. Die Traghülse 4 besitzt radial abstehende Stege 5, an welchen das jeweils untere Ende der Tragarme 3 um einen Bolzen 6 schwenkbar befestigt ist. Andererseits ist je eine jedem Tragarm 3 zugeordnete Strebe 8 vorgesehen, die einerends, im Abstand zum unteren Ende der Tragarme 3, an diesen durch einen Gelenkbolzen 9' befestigt ist. Das andere Ende, d.h. das dem Tragarm 3 abgekehrte Ende der Streben 8, ist an einem Kopfteil 10 des Mastes 2, ebenfalls um einen Bolzen 11 schwenkbar, gelagert. Die Anordnung ist dabei so getroffen, dass die Länge des Teiles 12, des Hebelarmteiles des Tragarms 3, zwischen dem unteren Armende und der Angriffstelle der Strebe 8 beispielsweise angenähert dieselbe Länge besitzt wie die Strebe 8.The washing rack 1 has a plurality of, for example four, equally spaced support arms 3 arranged around a
Bei Nichtgebrauch des Wäschegestells 1 sind die Tragarme 3 gegen den Mast 2 geschwenkt, und folglich auch die Streben 8. Das durch den Armteil 12 und die Strebe 8 jeweils gebildete Spreizschenkelpaar 12, 8 ist daher voll oder nahezu voll gestreckt und die Traghülse 4 befindet sich in ihrer untersten Position.When the laundry rack 1 is not in use, the support arms 3 are pivoted against the
Zum Spreizen der Tragarme 3, d.h. zur Inbetriebnahme des Wäschegestells 1, ist ein Zugseil 14 vorgesehen, das mit dem einen Ende 15 am Kopfteil 10 des Mastes 2 befestigt ist und das im Beispielsfall über die Bolzen 6' und 9' eines der vier Tragarme 3 verläuft. Zweckmässigerweise nehmen die Bolzen 6' und 9' drehbar gelagerte Rollen 16 und 17 auf, über die das Zugseil 14 geführt ist und die die Reibung vermindern.For spreading the support arms 3, that is to say for starting up the laundry rack 1, a pull rope 14 is provided which is fastened at one
Das (nicht dargestellte) freie Ende des Zugseiles 14 befindet sich jenseits der Rolle 17 und hängt mit einem kleinen Stück nach aussen, um von der Hand der Bedienungsperson ergriffen zu werden. Die Lage dieses Seilendes ist dabei auf einer bequemen Lage von ca. 0.80 bis 1.20 m Höhe, so dass das Ergreifen und die Betätigung des Zuseiles 14 ohne Mühe und ohne Bücken bequem und ergonomisch erfolgen kann.The free end (not shown) of the traction cable 14 is located beyond the
Durch Ziehen an diesem sich an das Strangstück 18 anschliessenden Zugseilende vom Mast 2 weg nach aussen in Richtung des Pfeiles 19 wird die auf dem Mast 2 verschiebbar gelagerte Traghülse 4 nach oben gezogen, so dass der Armteil 12 und die Strebe 8 bzw. das durch diese Elemente gebildete Spreizschenkelpaar scherenartig gegeneinander gezogen werden; dadurch erstreckt sich der Tragarm 3 entsprechend nach aussen, bis eine Position erreicht ist, in der die Tragarme 3 so weit nach aussen gespreizt sind, dass die zwischen ihnen umlaufenden Wäscheseil-Abschnitte ausreichend gespannt sind, um Wäschestücke an ihnen aufhängen zu können.By pulling on this pulling rope end adjoining the
Dadurch, dass das Zugseil 14 über den am Tragarm 3 vorgesehenen Bolzen 9' bzw. über die darauf drehbar gelagerte Rolle 17 geführt ist, ergibt sich durch die Zugkraft des Zugseiles 14 am Tragarm ein ausgeprägtes Drehmoment, so dass sich das Wäschegestell 1 bzw. seine Tragarme 3 mit entsprechend geringem Kraftaufwand aufspreizen lassen. Dieses Drehmoment ergibt sich aufgrund eines der Länge des Armteiles 12 entsprechenden Hebelarms und einer in Richtung des Pfeiles 21 wirkenden Komponente der Zugseilkraft, deren Richtung den zwischen den Seilstrangstücken 18 und 20 eingeschlossenen Winkel halbiert. Auch zu Beginn des Aufspreizens ergibt sich folglich eine wesentliche, das Ausschwenken der Tragarme 3 erleichternde Kraftkomponente in Form eines Drehmomentes auf die Tragarme 3 um den Bolzen 6'. Zusätzlich wird das Aufspreizen der Tragarme 3 durch eine am Bolzen 6' wirkende Kraftkomponente der Zugseilkraft in Richtung parallel zum Mast 2 unterstützt, die bestrebt ist, die Traghülse 4 nach oben zu verschieben.Because the traction cable 14 is guided over the
Eine an der Traghülse 4 vorgesehene Sperrklinke 22 gleitet mit ihrem eine Abschrägung 23 aufweisenden Klinkenende 24 über Rastöffnungen, die entlang einer Reihe am Mast 2 angeordnet sind, wenn die Traghülse 4 nach oben gezogen wird. Eine Feder 25 drückt dabei das Klinkenende 24 gegen den Mast 2 bzw. die Reihe von Rastöffnungen, um eine Rastposition in einer der Rastöffnungen zu sichern, so dass eine ungewollte Abwärtsbewegung der Traghülse 4 verhindert ist, wenn die Tragarme 3 ihre ausgespreizte Gebrauchsstellung erreicht haben. Die Freigabe der Verklinkung zum Zusammenklappen des Wäschegestells 1 wird durch einen von Hand mittels eines nicht dargestellten Griffs betätigbaren Nocken 26 ermöglicht, der mit seinem Umfang an der Sperrklinke 22 anliegt.A
Abweichend von dem in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel kann die angestrebte Wirkung auch erreicht werden, wenn die am Tragarm 3 für das Zugseil 14 vorgesehene Umlenkstelle an anderer Stelle des Tragarmes 3 vorgesehen ist. Voraussetzung ist jedoch, dass zwischen der Umlenkstelle und der Traghülse 4 ein ausreichender Abstand vorgesehen ist, um am Tragarm 3 eine wesentliche Hebelwirkung zu erzielen. Vorzugsweise entspricht dieser Abstand jedoch mindestens dem Abstand zwischen der Traghülse 4 und dem Gelenk 9, das sich zwischen dem Tragarm 3 und der Strebe 8 befindet. Hierdurch ist auch sichergestellt, dass das Zugseilende, in ausgeklappter Stellung des Wäschegestells, nicht bis zum Boden hinunterreicht und somit keiner bzw. nur einer unwesentlichen Verschmutzung ausgesetzt ist.Deviating from the exemplary embodiment shown in the drawing, the desired effect can also be achieved if the deflection point provided on the support arm 3 for the traction cable 14 is provided at another location on the support arm 3. However, the prerequisite is that a sufficient distance is provided between the deflection point and the
