Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a laundry rack with an upright mast and a plurality of arms which can be spread outwards, between which individual sections of a laundry rope run, with a supporting ring which surrounds the mast and is displaceably mounted along the same, to which the spreadable arms are articulated at one end , and with one of the arms assigned struts which are pivotally connected at one end to the associated arm via a joint and at the other to a head part of the mast, the arms being able to be spread outwards by moving the supporting ring along the mast or by the opposite displacement of the supporting ring the arms can be retracted along the mast into a rest position lying against the mast.
  • a laundry rack of the generic type is known for example from CH-PS 390 863 and is present in numerous embodiments on the market.
  • Such a laundry rack can be brought from a use position, 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 disadvantage here is that the loosely hanging laundry rope sections tend to get confused, that they are exposed to soiling, and that they stick together folded laundry rack, if left at the place of use, looks unaesthetic overall and messy due to the laundry rope sections hanging out in a mess.
  • 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.
  • the general basic idea of the invention is to pre-featured the laundry rope when the laundry rack is folded seen wrapping elements as it were "pack” and not to pull into the arms of the frame.
  • the object of the invention is, in particular, to further develop a laundry rack of the generic type in such a way that it is ensured in the simplest way, without provision of a complex, therefore expensive and fault-prone mechanism, that the loose hanging rope sections are protected against contamination and confusion when the laundry rack is folded , while at the same time striving for an aesthetically pleasing appearance of the folded laundry rack.
  • a sleeve made of flexible material arranged on the mast of the laundry rack can be provided, which can be pulled out from a folded rest position that releases the support arms into a position of use enclosing the arms in their folded position.
  • the cover can be pulled over the rack with a simple handle, so that it is protected from dirt and offers an aesthetically satisfactory appearance.
  • at least one of the support arms can be provided with a flexible, enveloping element that extends essentially over the entire length of the support arm to cover at least the intermediate spaces present between the folded-in support arms.
  • the folded clothes rack can be packed with one hand and thus protected from dirt.
  • the casing is formed by a tubular, harmonica-like extendable and collapsible bellows, which is arranged either at the upper or at the lower end of the mast and can thus be pulled down or pulled up over the folded frame.
  • the casing is formed by two tubular, harmonica-like extendable and collapsible bellows, a first bellows being arranged at the top of the mast and attached to the mast with its upper end, and a second bellows being arranged at the bottom of the mast and is attached to the mast with its lower end.
  • the two free ends of each of the two bellows are connected to corresponding connecting members, e.g. equipped with a Velcro fastener to connect the two extended bellows.
  • the enveloping element can be a flexible, flat enveloping body that runs along a longitudinal channel te attached to a first support arm and the width of which is dimensioned such that it extends around all further support arms up to said first support arm when the support arms are folded in.
  • the enveloping body is preferably received on a roller rotatably mounted on the relevant support arm, which is under the action of a spring which strives to rotate the roller in the winding direction of the enveloping body.
  • the enveloping body can be pulled out like a roller blind, wrapped around the rack and the end fastened.
  • the envelope element is formed by a number of flexible, flat envelope bodies corresponding to the number of support arms of the laundry rack, which are each attached to a support arm along a longitudinal edge and the width of which is dimensioned such that they fold when the support arms are folded in extend to an adjacent support arm.
  • the enveloping element can be formed by a number of harmonica-like extendable and collapsible enveloping bodies corresponding to the number of support arms of the laundry rack, each of which is along a longitudinal edge on a respective supporting arm are strengthened and the extended width is dimensioned such that they extend to an adjacent support arm when the support arms are folded.
  • the laundry rack 1 has in the example according to FIGS. 1 to 3 four arms 3 arranged at a uniform distance from each other around a vertically standing mast 2, which together serve as a carrier for a laundry rope 7, the sections 7 ⁇ of which extend from support arm 3 to support arm 3 when these are in their spread-apart position (use position of the laundry rack), 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.
  • 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.
  • the invention In order to prevent contamination and confusion of the loosely hanging laundry rope sections, the invention generally provides that when the arms 3 are in the retracted rest position, either the entire arm area of the laundry rack is covered with a continuous cover or at least the intermediate spaces between the support arms are covered with cover elements or are.
  • a sleeve is provided for this purpose in the form of a tubular bellows 11 which can be pulled apart and folded up like a harmonica.
  • an annular sleeve 12 which surrounds the mast 2.
  • the ring sleeve 12 has a sleeve body 13, on which the bellows is pushed in its folded position according to FIG. 4.
  • the outer diameter of this sleeve body 13 is dimensioned such that the bellows 11 can be pushed onto it with frictional engagement and is thus held in its folded rest position.
  • the head part 10 of the laundry rack 1 is provided with a similar ring sleeve 15, onto which the end of the bellows 11 can also be pushed under frictional engagement when the sleeve in the form of the bellows 11 is pulled over the laundry rack 1 (FIG. 5).
  • the ring sleeve 12 has a closure plate 14 with an enlarged diameter.
  • the second exemplary embodiment which is shown in FIG. 6, is similar to the first exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 4 and 5, but here the bellows 21 is fastened to the upper end of the mast 2.
  • the head part 10 of the mast is designed as an annular sleeve 22, with a sleeve body 23 and a closing plate 24 for receiving or fastening the bellows 21.
  • the lower annular sleeve 26 is equipped with a sleeve body 25 which, when the bellows 21 is pulled out the end of which receives a frictional connection.
  • the bellows 11 or 21 can be brought into its extended position with one hand, starting from FIG. 4 upwards and starting from FIG. 6 downwards, so that the laundry rack is enveloped and is thus effectively protected against pollution.
  • the bellows 11 or 21 only have to be folded up until its free end is received with a friction fit on the sleeve body 13 or 23, and the arms 3 can be spread apart.
  • FIG. 7 and 8 a third embodiment is shown.
  • An upper bellows 31a and a lower bellows 31b are provided here.
  • the upper bellows 31a as described in connection with FIG. 6, is carried by an upper ring sleeve 32, which has a sleeve body 33 and a closure plate 34, while the lower bellows 31b, as described in connection with FIG. 4, is received by a lower ring sleeve 36 with a sleeve body 35 and a closure plate 37.
  • the mode of operation is corresponding: In order to envelop the folded laundry rack, the upper bellows 31a is unfolded downwards and the lower bellows 31b upwards until they meet approximately in the middle. As can be seen from FIG.
  • the two bellows 31a and 31b can be provided with one-sided flanges 38a and 38b which, for example, have a cooperating Velcro fastener 39 on their end face in order to releasably connect the two bellows 31a and 31b with their free ends.
  • Velcro fastener 39 on their end face in order to releasably connect the two bellows 31a and 31b with their free ends.
  • push buttons, hooks and eyes or the like can also be used.
  • FIGS. 4 to 8 For the sake of clarity, no laundry rope sections are shown in FIGS. 4 to 8; it goes without saying that the laundry rope 7 is arranged correspondingly as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 in order to be enclosed by the cover when the laundry rack is folded.
  • a fourth embodiment is shown.
  • a kind of roller blind 41 is provided as a cover, which can be pulled out and looped around the folded-in arms 3 in order to envelop them and protect them against contamination.
  • a rotatably mounted roller body 43 is attached to an arm 3, for example by means of only schematically indicated tabs 42.
  • the roller body is coupled to springs (not shown) in such a way that a pretension is exerted on it in the winding direction of the roller 41.
  • the rollow 41 can be pulled out, where it unwinds from the roller body 43, and brought into the position 41 Lü shown in dashed lines in FIG. 10, in which it envelops the laundry rack.
  • 3 hooks 44 can be provided on the arm in question, into which eyelets 45, which are attached along the free end edge of the roller blind 41, are hung.
  • the roller blind 41 automatically winds up again, namely under the action of the spring tensioned by the extension, which strives to rotate the roller body 43 in the direction of arrow P 1.
  • the width of the roller blind 41 corresponds approximately to the length of the arms 3, so that these and thus the laundry rope 7 can be reliably protected against contamination and the laundry rope can be prevented from being confused when the roller blind 41 is stretched around the laundry rack.
  • FIGS. 11 and 11a A fifth exemplary embodiment is shown in FIGS. 11 and 11a, FIG. 11 showing a corresponding schematic section as in FIG. 10.
  • each of the support arms 3 is provided with a flat envelope body 51, which are fastened to the arms 3 along an edge region 52.
  • the width of the enveloping body 51 corresponds approximately to the length of the arms 3, and the length of the enveloping body 51 is such dimensioned so that they extend to the adjacent arm when arms 3 are folded.
  • a free edge region 53 of the enveloping body 51 is expediently provided with fastening means so that it can be fixed to the adjacent arm.
  • a Velcro fastener 54a, 54b can be used for this purpose; the outer surface of the edge region 52 of the envelope body is provided with the closure part 54a, while the free edge region 53 of the envelope body 51 is equipped with a corresponding closure part 54b.
  • this creates the possibility of stretching the four enveloping bodies from arm 3 to arm 3, as shown in FIG. 11, in order to encase the laundry rack when the arms are folded; on the other hand, in the use position of the laundry rack, when the arms 3 are folded out, the otherwise freely hanging envelope bodies 51 can be attached to the respective arm 3, as shown in dashed lines in FIG. 11a.
  • the enveloping body 51 has to be bent and its free edge area 53 pressed against the edge area 52 in the direction of the arrow P 2. In this way, the enveloping bodies 51 no longer appear disruptive.
  • FIG. 12 shows a sixth exemplary embodiment in a schematic section corresponding to FIG. 10.
  • bellows elements 61 are provided on each of the arms 3, the width of which in turn corresponds approximately to the length of the arms 3 and the length of which is dimensioned such that they extend to the adjacent arm 3 when the arms 3 are folded apart.
  • the free edge 62 and the top surface of the arms 3 can, as described in connection with the previous embodiment, be equipped with corresponding Velcro parts 63 to fix the bellows elements 61 in their extended position.
  • the elements 61 are preferably designed to be elastic in such a way that when the Velcro fastener 63 is released they automatically return to their folded position, as shown in FIG. 12 on the right and above.
  • Any suitable, weatherproof, textile material or a plastic film can be used as material for bellows or enveloping bodies.
