Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Wäschegestell.The present invention relates to a laundry rack.

Ein Wäschegestell ähnlicher 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 Beipielsfall 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 a similar 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 loosely hang down between the support arms. 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, wurde bereits z.B. in der DE-OS 32 00 013 vorgeschlagen, ein solches Wäschegestell derart weiterzubilden, dass dieses mit einer Wäscheleineneinzugsvorrichtung 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 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 such a laundry rack in such a way that it is provided with a clothes line pull-in device by means of which the clothes line is automatically drawn into the arms of the rack when the washing 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. Added to this is the cost factor: a comparatively complicated rope pull-in mechanism increases the manufacturing costs of a laundry rack to a considerable extent, especially if a robust construction that is insensitive to incorrect operation has to be taken into account.

Der Anmelder hat in der EP-A 0219571 (bildet Stand der Technik im Sinne des Artikels 54 (3) EPÜ) deshalb schon vorgeschlagen, das Wäscheseil bei zusammengeklapptem Wäschegestell in dafür vorgesehene Hohlräume gleichsam "einzupacken" und nicht in die Arme des Gestells einzuziehen. Damit kann auf einfachste Weise, ohne Bereitstellung einer aufwendigen, damit teuren und störungsanfälligen Mechanik, sichergestellt werden, dass die lose herabhängenden Wäscheseilabschnitte bei zusammengelegtem Wäschegestell gegen Verschmutzung und Verwirrung geschützt sind, wobei gleichzeitig ein ästhetisch ansprechendes Erscheinungsbild des zusammengelegten Wäschegestells erreicht wird.The applicant has therefore already proposed in EP-A 0219571 (forms prior art within the meaning of Article 54 (3) EPC) to "pack" the laundry rope into cavities provided for this purpose when the laundry rack is folded up and not to pull it into the arms of the rack. In this way, it can be ensured in the simplest way, without providing a complex, thus expensive and failure-prone mechanism, that the loosely hanging laundry rope sections are protected against dirt and confusion when the laundry rack is folded, while at the same time achieving an aesthetically pleasing appearance of the folded laundry rack.

Ein Problem, das sich aber bei einer Konstruktion gemäss der EP-A 0219571 stellt, besteht darin, während des zusammenklappens des Wäschegestells für ein eindeutiges und sicheres Hineinleiten der lose herabhängenden Seilabschnitte in die zur Aufnahme derselben vorgesehenen Hohlräume zu sorgen.A problem that arises in a construction according to EP-A 0219571, however, is to ensure that the loosely hanging rope sections are clearly and securely guided into the cavities provided for receiving them while the laundry rack is being folded up.

Es ist die Aufgabe der Erfindung, hier Abhilfe zu schaffen und eine Lösung vorzuschlagen, die mit einem Minimum an zusätzlicher Mechanik, in einfachster Weise, eine zwangsläufige Führung bzw. Leitung der lose herabhängenden Seilabschnitte in die gewünschte Richtung, d.h. in die Hohlräume hinein bewirkt.It is the object of the invention to remedy this situation and to propose a solution which, with a minimum of additional mechanics, in the simplest way, inevitably guides or guides the loosely hanging rope sections in the desired direction, i.e. into the cavities.

Die Erfindungsaufgabe wird durch die Kombination der Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Besondere Ausführungsarten und Weiterbildungen des Erfindungsgegenstandes sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen 2 bis 6 umschrieben.The object of the invention is achieved by the combination of the features of claim 1.

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.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.

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 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 zuvor 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 tensioned Linen rope sections 7 'sag loosely between the arms 3.

Um eine Verschmutzung und ein Verwirren der lose durchhängendenn Wäscheseilabschnitte zu verhindern, ist vorgesehen, 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 Wäschesgestell 1 in seiner zusammengeklappten Ruhelage ist. Diese Situation ist in einer schematischen Seiten ansicht 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, it is provided that, when the arms 3 are retracted, between the arms 3 and the mast 2, cavities are created in which the otherwise loosely hanging laundry rope sections are accommodated. It is advisable to provide the arms 3 with wing elements which project from both sides of their front edge and which are generally designated 6 in FIGS. 1 to 3 in order to create these cavities. 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.

In einer praktischen Ausführung eines solchen Wäschegestells sind die Tragarme 3 mit seitlich abstehenden Flügeln versehen, die entweder starr oder schwenkbar an den Armen 3, vorzugsweise im Bereich deren vorderen Kante befestigt sind.In a practical embodiment of such a laundry rack, the support arms 3 are provided with laterally projecting wings which are either rigidly or pivotably attached to the arms 3, preferably in the region of their front edge.

Ein 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.An 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, wie in Fig. 4 gezeigt, mit je zwei im Bereich der äusseren Kante des Armes 3 angebrachten, von diesem abstehenden Flügelelementen 6a versehen. Diese Flügelelemente 6a können Teil des Kastenprofils, d.h. einstückig an diesem angeformt sein. 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. As shown in FIG. 4, the outer, closed end of the box profiles is provided with two wing elements 6a, which are attached in the region of the outer edge of the arm 3 and protrude therefrom. These wing elements 6a can be part of the box section, i.e. be integrally formed 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 Flügelemente 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.

Um nun während des Zusammenklappens des Wäschegestells, d.h. beim Entspannen des Wäscheseils 7, dafür zu sorgen, dass die lose herabhängenden Seilabschnitte 7' in die für deren Aufnahme vorgesehenen Hohlräume 14 gelangen, sind gemäss der Erfindung entlang der Arme verschiebbar gelagerte Führungselemente vorgesehen, die während des Einziehens der Arme 3, d.h. während der Bewegung der Arme 3 von der ausgespreizten Betriebsstellung in die am Mast 2 anliegende, beigeklappte Ruhestellung, die lose herabhängenden Wäscheseilabschnitte 7' in die Hohlräume 14 hineinleiten.Now, during the folding of the laundry rack, i.e. When the laundry rope 7 is relaxed, to ensure that the loosely hanging rope sections 7 'enter the cavities 14 provided for receiving them, according to the invention, guide elements which are displaceably mounted along the arms are provided, which during the retraction of the arms 3, i.e. during the movement of the arms 3 from the spread-out operating position into the closed rest position resting against the mast 2, the loosely hanging laundry rope sections 7 ′ lead into the cavities 14.

Beim in Fig. 5 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel besitzt das generell mit 15 bezeichnete Führungselement die Gestalt eines länglichen, sich in Längsrichtung des betreffenden Armes 3 erstreckenden und entlang desselben frei verschiebbaren Führungskörpers 16. Im Beispielsfall besitzt das Wäschegestell 1 fünf sich von Arm zu Arm erstreckende Seilabschnitte 7', die endseitig jeweils am Arm 3 befestigt sind. Die Länge des Führungskörpers 16 ist dabei so gewählt, dass seine Längsabmessung etwa der Distanz zwischen oberstem und unterstem Seilabschnitt 7' entspricht.In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the guide element, generally designated 15, has the shape of an elongated guide body 16, which extends in the longitudinal direction of the arm 3 in question and can be freely displaced along the same. In the example, the laundry rack 1 has five cable sections 7 extending from arm to arm ', which are each attached to the arm 3 at the end. The length of the guide body 16 is chosen so that its longitudinal dimension corresponds approximately to the distance between the top and bottom rope section 7 '.

Der Führungskörper 16 ist mit einem ersten, den obersten Seilabschnitt 7' permanent übergreifenden Mitnehmer 17 und mit weiteren, die gegen unten nachfolgenden Seilabschnitte vorübergehend übergreifenden Mitnehmern 18 versehen. Beim Zusammenklappen der Arme 3, wobei die Wäscheseilabschnitte 7' entspannt werden und die Tendenz haben, nach unten durchzuhängen, gleitet der Führungskörper unter der Wirkung der Schwerkraft entlang des Armes 3 gegen unten. Dabei geschieht folgendes: Der oberste, längste Wäscheseilabschnitt 7' wird permanent vom Mitnehmer 17 übergriffen und dadurch mit fortschreitender Entspannung dieses Seilabschnittes 7' nach unten gezogen, und zwar zunehmend zum Mast 2 hin, je mehr der Arm 3 eingeschwenkt wird. Die von oben gegen unten immer kürzeren Seilabschnitte 7', die sich an den obersten Seilabschnitt 7' anschliessen, werden von den Mitnehmern 18 vorübergehend erfasst, in Richtung gegen unten und zum Mast 2 hin geleitet und dann vom momentan wirksamen Mitnehmer wieder losgelassen, um bei fortschreitendem Einschwenken des Armes 3 und damit fortschreitender Verschiebung des Führungskörpers 16 vom nachfolgenden Mitnehmer 18 erfasst und geleitet zu werden.The guide body 16 is provided with a first driver 17 which permanently overlaps the uppermost rope section 7 'and with further drivers 18 which temporarily overlap the rope sections which follow below. When the arms 3 are folded up, the laundry rope sections 7 'being relaxed and tending to sag downwards, the guide body slides along the arm 3 under the effect of gravity. The following occurs: The uppermost, longest laundry rope section 7 'is permanently overlapped by the driver 17 and is thus pulled downward as the rope section 7' progressively relaxes, increasingly towards the mast 2, the more the arm 3 is pivoted in. The shorter and shorter rope sections 7 'from top to bottom, which adjoin the uppermost rope section 7', are temporarily gripped by the catches 18, directed in the downward direction and towards the mast 2 and then released again by the currently effective catch, in order to progressive pivoting of the arm 3 and thus progressive displacement of the guide body 16 to be detected and guided by the subsequent driver 18.

Damit ist erreicht, dass alle lose herabhängenden Seilabschnitte 7' zuverlässig und eindeutig zum Mast 2 hin und damit in die Hohlräume 14 hinein geleitet werden, um dort gegen Verschmutzung geschützt aufgenommen zu werden. Bei zusammengeklapptem Wäschegestell 1, wie es in Fig. 3 dargestellt ist, befindet sich der Führungskörper 16 in einer unteren Endstellung. Beim neuerlichen Aufspreizen der Arme 3, wenn das Wäschegestell 1 wieder in Betrieb genommen wird, wird der Führungskörper 16 durch den Mitnehmer 17, der immer noch den obersten Seilabschnitt 7' übergreift, wieder entlang des Armes 3 hinaufgezogen, bis alle Seilabschnitte 7' gespannt sind. Bei dieser Bewegung der Arme 3 üben die Mitnehmer 18 keine Funktion aus.It is thereby achieved that all loosely hanging cable sections 7 'are reliably and unambiguously directed towards the mast 2 and thus into the cavities 14, in order to be received there against contamination. When merged folded laundry rack 1, as shown in Fig. 3, the guide body 16 is in a lower end position. When the arms 3 are spread apart again when the laundry rack 1 is put into operation again, the guide body 16 is pulled up again along the arm 3 by the driver 17, which still overlaps the uppermost rope section 7 ', until all rope sections 7' are tensioned . During this movement of the arms 3, the drivers 18 have no function.

Es versteht sich, dass während des Zusammenklappens des Wäschegestells 1 der Führungskörper 16 zudem manuell heruntergeschoben werden kann, falls dies erforderlich sein sollte, zum Beispiel bei etwas klemmendem Führungskörper oder bei Verwendung von Seilen, die (z.B. infolge sehr tiefer Temperatur) ausgesprochen steif sein sollten, sodass das Eigengewicht des Führungskörpers 16 für eine einwandfreie Hineinleitung der Seilabschnitte 7' in die Hohlräume 14 nicht mehr ausreicht.It goes without saying that during the folding of the laundry rack 1, the guide body 16 can also be pushed down manually if this should be necessary, for example with a slightly jammed guide body or when using ropes that should be extremely stiff (eg due to very low temperature) , so that the dead weight of the guide body 16 is no longer sufficient for the wire sections 7 ′ to be guided correctly into the cavities 14.

Bei einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel im Falle eines Wäscheständers 1 mit vier Armen 3, wie er in der Fig. 1 und 2 dargestellt ist, sind nur zwei einander gegenüberliegende Arme 3 mit Führungskörpern 16 versehen. Dafür ist jeder der Führungskörper 16 mit je zwei Mitnehmern 17 und mit paarweise angeordneten Mitnehmern 18 ausgerüstet, und zwar derart, dass die beiden Mitnehmer 17 die jeweils vom zugeordneten Arm 3 ausgehenden, obersten Seilabschnitte 7' übergreifen und die paarweise angeordneten, weiteren Mitnehmer 18 mit den jeweils darunter liegenden Paaren von Seilabschnitten 7' zusammenwirken.In a preferred embodiment in the case of a clothes horse 1 with four arms 3, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, only two arms 3 lying opposite one another are provided with guide bodies 16. For this purpose, each of the guide bodies 16 is equipped with two drivers 17 and with drivers 18 arranged in pairs, in such a way that the two drivers 17 overlap the uppermost cable sections 7 ', each starting from the assigned arm 3, and the further drivers 18 arranged in pairs the pairs of rope sections 7 'below each other cooperate.

Beim Ausführungsbeispiel gemäss Fig. 6 ist eine zwangsläufig unterstützte Abwärtsbewegung des Führungselementes 15 entlang des Armes 3 vorgesehen. Zu diesem Zweck umfasst das Wäschegestell 1 ein im Inneren seines Mastes 2 angeordnetes Gewicht 19, das über einen Seilzug mit dem unteren Ende des Führungselementes 15 verbunden ist. Der Seilzug erstreckt sich mit einem ersten Abschnitt 20a vom Gewicht 19 zu einer ersten Umlenkrolle 21 am Kopfende des Mastes 2, mit einem zweiten Abschnitt 20 b von der ersten Umlenkrolle 21 zu einer zweiten Umlenkrolle 22, und mit einem dritten Abschnitt 20c von der zweiten Umlenkrolle 22 zum Führungselement 15. Damit ist gewährleistet, dass das Führungselement 15 sicher und zuverlässig entlang des Armes 3 heruntergezogen wird, auch wenn dieses etwas klemmen sollte, und weiter, dass auch etwas steife Wäscheseile mit sanftem Nachdruck in die Hohlräume 14 hineingeleitet werden. Beim Aufspannen des Wäschegestells wird das Führungselement 15 dank des Eingriffs des Mitnehmers 17 am bzw. an den obersten Seilabschnitt(en) 7' wieder entlang des Armes 3 nach oben gezogen; damit gelangt das Gewicht 19 ebenfalls wieder in seine obere Ausgangslage.In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 6, an inevitably supported downward movement of the guide element 15 along the arm 3 is provided. For this purpose, the laundry rack 1 comprises a weight 19 arranged in the interior of its mast 2, which is connected to the lower end of the guide element 15 via a cable pull. The cable extends with a first section 20a from the weight 19 to a first deflection roller 21 at the head end of the mast 2, with a second section 20b from the first deflection roller 21 to a second deflection roller 22, and with a third section 20c from the second deflection roller 22 to the guide element 15. This ensures that the guide element 15 is pulled down safely and reliably along the arm 3, even if it should jam somewhat, and also that somewhat stiff laundry ropes are passed into the cavities 14 with gentle emphasis. When the laundry rack is opened, the guide element 15 is pulled up again along the arm 3 thanks to the engagement of the driver 17 on the uppermost rope section (s) 7 '; thus the weight 19 also returns to its upper starting position.

In den Fig. 7 und 8 ist eine weitere Ausführungsform des Wäschegestells 1 dargestellt. Hier ist eine doppelseitig wirkende, zwangsläufige Bewegung des nun mit 21 bezeichneten Führungselementes vorgesehen. Wiederum ist ein Seilzug vorgesehen, der der Uebersichtlichkeit halber schematisch etwas im Abstand von den Teilen des Wäschegestells 1 gezeichnet ist.7 and 8 a further embodiment of the laundry rack 1 is shown. Here, a double-sided, inevitable movement of the guide element now designated 21 is provided. Again, a cable is provided, which for the sake of clarity is shown schematically somewhat at a distance from the parts of the laundry rack 1.

Der Seilzug umfasst einen ersten Abschnitt 23a, der sich von einem unteren Verankerungspunkt X, z.B. am Mast 2, bis zu einer ersten Umlenkrolle 24 erstreckt, einen zweiten Abschnitt 23b, der von der Umlenkrolle 24 zum einen Ende des Führungselementes 21 verläuft, einen dritten Abschnitt 23c, der vom anderen Ende des Führungselementes 21 über eine am Ende des Armes 3 angeordnete Umlenkrolle 25 zu einer dritten Umlenkrolle 26 führt, und schliesslich einen vierten Abschnitt 23d von der dritten Umlenkrolle 26 zu einem Verankerungspunkt Y, z.B. im Bereich des oberen Ende des Mastes 2. Es versteht sich, dass die Drehachsen der beiden Umlenkrollen 24 und 26 nicht, wie zeichnerisch dargestellt, ausserhalb des Armes 3 liegen, sondern mit der Achse Z zusammenfallen, d.h. mit der Schwenkachse des Armes 3 am Tragring 4. In entsprechender Weise ist die Umlenkrolle 25 am Ende des Tragarmes 3 gelagert.The cable comprises a first section 23a which extends from a lower anchoring point X, e.g. on the mast 2, up to a first deflecting roller 24, a second section 23b, which extends from the deflecting roller 24 to one end of the guide element 21, a third section 23c, which extends from the other end of the guide element 21 via one arranged at the end of the arm 3 Deflection roller 25 leads to a third deflection roller 26, and finally a fourth section 23d from the third deflection roller 26 to an anchoring point Y, for example in the area of the upper end of the mast 2. It is understood that the axes of rotation of the two deflection rollers 24 and 26 are not, as shown in the drawing, outside the arm 3, but rather coincide with the axis Z, i.e. with the pivot axis of the arm 3 on the support ring 4. In a corresponding manner, the deflection roller 25 is mounted at the end of the support arm 3.

Gemäss der Darstellung in Fig. 8 ist das Führungselement 21 mit einem seitlich abstehenden Mitnehmer 22 versehen, der in den Bereich der sich vom Arm 3 wegerstreckenden Seilabschnitte 7' ragt. Dadurch werden die Seilabschnitte 7', bei einer Verschiebung des Führungselementes 21 in Richtung des Pfeiles P entlang des Armes 3, an letzteren angelegt und gelangen schliesslich geordnet in die zuvor erwähnten Hohlräume 14.According to the representation in FIG. 8, the guide element 21 is provided with a laterally protruding driver 22, which projects into the region of the cable sections 7 ′ extending from the arm 3. As a result, the cable sections 7 ′, when the guide element 21 is displaced in the direction of the arrow P along the arm 3, are placed against the arm 3 and finally reach the cavities 14 mentioned above in an orderly manner.

Bei einem Zusammenklappen des Wäschegestells 1 gemäss Fig. 7 geschieht folgendes:

  • Durch die gewählte Kinematik und aufgrund der Tatsache, dass die Gesamtlänge des Seilzugs konstant ist, verkürzen sich die Abschnitte 23a und 23b, während sich die Abschnitte 23c und 23c im selben Mass verlängern. Die Folge davon ist, dass das Führungselement 21 in Richtung des Pfeiles P entlang des Armes 3 verschoben wird. Beim Auseinanderspreizen des Wäschegestells 1 erfolgt der Umgekehrte Vorgang. Es ist somit eine zweiseitig wirkende, zwangsläufige Verschiebung des Führungsorganes 21 gegeben. Um Toleranzen bzw. eine eventuell auftretende Dehnung des für den Seilzug verwendeten Seils zu kompensieren, kann z.B. im Bereich des Verankerungspunktes X eine Feder 27 eingefügt sein.
When the laundry rack 1 according to FIG. 7 is folded up, the following happens:
  • Due to the chosen kinematics and due to the fact that the total length of the cable is constant, the sections 23a and 23b are shortened, while the sections 23c and 23c are extended to the same extent. The consequence of this is that the guide element 21 is displaced in the direction of the arrow P along the arm 3. The reverse process takes place when the laundry rack 1 is spread apart. There is thus a two-way, inevitable displacement of the guide member 21. In order to compensate for tolerances or a possible expansion of the rope used for the cable pull, a spring 27 can be inserted, for example, in the area of the anchoring point X.
