Definitions
- the invention relates to a towel dryer with a meandering bent pipe string through which a heating medium flows, the straight parts of which in the same vertical plane form pipes arranged at a distance from one another and the curved parts of which form pipe connections.
- Towel dryers and holders of the aforementioned type are mainly used in the sanitary area. They hang, hold and dry towels, bath towels and similar items of laundry and clothing over the pipes. They also heat - within limits - the space in which they are arranged.
- a towel dryer of the type mentioned is known (see. Fig. 4 of FR-A-12 83 135).
- the known towel dryer has a tubing string in two mutually parallel planes. Each end of each pipe string is connected to a container for a heating medium that is movable. In addition, the uppermost part of the pipe string is connected to the container via an additional pipe carrying the heating medium. The container is electrically heated.
- Another known towel dryer (see. DE-U-83 11 222) has two vertical pipe legs with which the pipes are welded. The pipe legs are connected to a hot water heating system and form the flow and return for the heating medium. One of the pipes can be arranged outside the plane in which the pipe legs and the other pipes are arranged to make it easier to hang certain items of laundry.
- the known towel dryers are either part of a hot water heating system or form an electrically heated independent heating system.
- the invention seeks to remedy this.
- the invention has for its object to design a towel dryer of the type mentioned in such a way that it can either be operated as an independent system or connected to a hot water heating system.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Handtuchtrockner mit einem von einem Heizmedium durchströmten, mäanderförmig gebogenen Rohrstrang, dessen gerade Teile in derselben vertikalen Ebene im Abstand zueinander angeordnete Rohre und dessen gekrümmte Teile Rohrverbindungen bilden.The invention relates to a towel dryer with a meandering bent pipe string through which a heating medium flows, the straight parts of which in the same vertical plane form pipes arranged at a distance from one another and the curved parts of which form pipe connections.
Handtuchtrockner und -halter der vorgenannten Art werden vor allem im Sanitärbereich eingesetzt. Bei ihnen werden Handtücher, Badetücher und ähnliche Wäsche- und Kleidungsstücke über die Rohre gehängt, gehalten und getrocknet. Außerdem heizen sie - in Grenzen - den Raum, in dem sie angeordnet sind.Towel dryers and holders of the aforementioned type are mainly used in the sanitary area. They hang, hold and dry towels, bath towels and similar items of laundry and clothing over the pipes. They also heat - within limits - the space in which they are arranged.
Ein Handtuchtrockner der eingangs genannten Art ist bekannt (vgl. Fig. 4 der FR-A- 12 83 135). Der bekannte Handtuchtrockner weist einen Rohrstrang in zwei zueinander parallelen Ebenen auf. Jedes Ende jedes Rohrstrangs ist mit einem Behälter für ein Heizmedium verbunden, der verfahrbar ist. Außerdem ist der am weitesten oben befindliche Teil des Rohrstrangs über ein zusätzliches, das Heizmedium führende Rohr mit dem Behälter verbunden. Der Behälter ist elektrisch beheizt. Ein anderer bekannter Handtuchtrockner (vgl. DE-U- 83 11 222) weist zwei vertikale Rohrschenkel auf, mit denen die Rohre verschweißt sind. Die Rohrschenkel sind mit einer Warmwasser-Heizungsanlage verbunden und bilden den Vorlauf und den Rücklauf für das Heizmedium. Eines der Rohre kann außerhalb der Ebene angeordnet sein, in der die Rohrschenkel und die anderen Rohre angeordnet sind, um das Aufhängen bestimmter Wäschestücke zu erleichtern. Die bekannten Handtuchtrockner sind also entweder Bestandteil einer Warmwasser-Heizungsanlage oder bilden ein elektrisch beheiztes unabhängiges Heizungssystem.A towel dryer of the type mentioned is known (see. Fig. 4 of FR-A-12 83 135). The known towel dryer has a tubing string in two mutually parallel planes. Each end of each pipe string is connected to a container for a heating medium that is movable. In addition, the uppermost part of the pipe string is connected to the container via an additional pipe carrying the heating medium. The container is electrically heated. Another known towel dryer (see. DE-U-83 11 222) has two vertical pipe legs with which the pipes are welded. The pipe legs are connected to a hot water heating system and form the flow and return for the heating medium. One of the pipes can be arranged outside the plane in which the pipe legs and the other pipes are arranged to make it easier to hang certain items of laundry. The known towel dryers are either part of a hot water heating system or form an electrically heated independent heating system.
Hier will die Erfindung Abhilfe schaffen. Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Handtuchtrockner der eingangs genannten Art so auszugestalten, daß er wahlweise als unabhängiges System betrieben oder an eine Warmwasser-Heizungsanlage angeschlossen werden kann Gemäß der Erfindung wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß eine elektrisch gespeiste Heizpatrone in dem einem Vorlauf zugeordneten untersten Rohr vorgesehen ist und daß an das Rohr, in dem die Heizpatrone vorgesehen ist, ein zusätzlicher Anschlußstutzen für die Verbindung mit einer Warmwasser-Heizungsanlage angebracht ist.The invention seeks to remedy this. The invention has for its object to design a towel dryer of the type mentioned in such a way that it can either be operated as an independent system or connected to a hot water heating system. According to the invention, this object is achieved in that an electrically powered heating cartridge in the one flow assigned lowest pipe is provided and that an additional connection piece for connection to a hot water heating system is attached to the pipe in which the heating cartridge is provided.
Der Handtuchtrockner nach der Erfindung kann an eine Warmwasser-Heizungsanlage angeschlossen oder auch als einzelner Körper betrieben werden: Der zusätzlich vorgesehene Anschlußstutzen ermöglicht einmal den Betrieb des Handtuchtrockners mit Heizpatrone als einzelnen Körper, bei Benutzung des Anschlußstutzens aber auch den Betrieb als Bestandteil einer Warmwasser-Heizungsanlage.The towel dryer according to the invention can be connected to a hot water heating system or operated as a single body: the additionally provided connection piece enables the towel dryer with a heating cartridge to be operated as a single body, but when the connection piece is used it can also be operated as part of a hot water heating system .
Bei der Erfindung ist der Handtuchtrockner aus einem einzigen gebogenen Rohrstrang - Rohr - gebogen. Die Rohrschenkel entfallen. Vielmehr sind die die Rohre bildenden geraden Teil durch die Rohrverbindungen nach Art einer Reihenschaltung fortlaufend verbunden. Konstruktion und Fertigung sind vereinfacht; Schweißarbeiten entfallen, jedenfalls soweit es den Anschluß von Rohren an Rohrschenkel betrifft. Der Handtuchtrockner nach der Erfindung hat gegenüber den Handtuchtrocknern nach dem Stand der Technik einen größeren Abstand der Rohre voneinander; er genügt den Sicherheitsvorschriften der Bundesarbeitsgemeinschaft der Versicherungsträger der öffentlichten Hand e.V. (BAGUV).In the invention, the towel dryer is made of a single bent pipe string - pipe - bent. The pipe legs are omitted. Rather, the straight parts forming the pipes are continuously connected by the pipe connections in the manner of a series connection. Design and manufacture are simplified; Welding work is omitted, at least as far as the connection of pipes to pipe legs is concerned. The towel dryer according to the invention has a greater distance between the tubes compared to the towel dryers according to the prior art; it meets the safety regulations of the Federal Working Group of Public Insurance Companies (BAGUV).
In Ausgestaltung der Erfindung schließt an jede Stirnseite jedes Rohr eine der Rohrverbindungen an, von denen die eine in das oberhalb und die andere in das unterhalb benachbarte Rohr übergeht.In one embodiment of the invention, one end of each tube is connected to one of the tube connections, one of which merges into the tube above and the other into the tube adjacent below.
Der Handtuchtrockner ist für den Anschluß an eine Warmwasser-Heizungsanlage vorgesehen. Die in der Warmwasser-Heizungsanlage vorhandene Pumpe bewirkt auch den Wasserumlauf in dem Handtuchtrockner. Soll der Handtuchtrockner losgelöst von der Warmwasser-Heizungsanlage als einzelner Körper betrieben werden, der durch eine elektrisch gespeiste Heizpatrone mit Energie versorgt ist, ist der Warmwasser-Umlauf möglicherweise nicht gewährleistet. Insbesondere für diese Betriebsart ist in Weiterbildung der Erfindung vorgesehen, daß jedes Rohr ausgehend von seiner mit dem unterhalb benachbarten Rohr verbundenen Rohrverbindung unter einem nach oben gerichteten Winkel gegenüber der Horizontalen angeordnet ist.The towel dryer is intended for connection to a hot water heating system. The pump in the hot water heating system also causes the water to circulate in the towel dryer. If the towel dryer is to be operated separately from the hot water heating system as a single body, which is supplied with energy by an electrically powered heating cartridge, the hot water circulation may not be guaranteed. In a further development of the invention, in particular for this operating mode, it is provided that each tube, starting from its tube connection connected to the tube below it, is arranged at an upward angle with respect to the horizontal.
Bei den Handtuchtrocknern nach dem Stand der Technik haben die Rohrschenkel auch die Funktion zu verhindern, daß Wäschestücke, die in Längsrichtung der Rohre verschoben werden, von letzteren abrutschen können. Diese Funktion erfüllt auch der Handtuchtrockner nach der Erfindung, wenn in einer anderen Weiterbildung in zwei zueinander parallelen benachbarten vertikalen Ebenen zwei Gruppen von Rohren angeordnet und innerhalb derselben Gruppe über die Rohrverbindungen verbunden sind, von denen jeweils eines der Rohre der einen Gruppe auf derselben Höhe angeordnet ist wie eines der Rohre der anderen Gruppe; und die beiden auf derselben Höhe befindlichen Rohre an entgegengesetzten Stirnseiten über die Rohrverbindungen mit dem oberhalb und dem unterhalb benachbarten Rohr derselben Gruppe verbunden sind. Bei dieser Weiterbildung wird ein Wäschestück über zwei auf derselben Höhe befindliche Rohre in den unterschiedlichen vertikalen Ebenen gehängt. An jeder Stirnseite verhindert dann eine der zu dem nächsthöheren Rohr führenden Rohrverbindungen das Abrutschen. Überdies werden die aufgehängten Wäschestücke an der Faltstelle weiter auseinandergehalten, was den Trocknungsvorgang beschleunigt. Dabei bleibt es möglich, ein Wäschestück über nur ein Rohr zu hängen. Die Breite des Handtuchtrockners, die Zahl seiner Rohre und seine Leistung sind im Vergleich zu denen nach dem Stand der Technik gleich.In the towel dryer according to the prior art, the pipe legs also have the function of preventing items of laundry which are moved in the longitudinal direction of the pipes from slipping off the latter. The towel dryer according to the invention also fulfills this function if, in another development, two groups of pipes are arranged in two mutually parallel vertical planes and are connected within the same group via the pipe connections, one of the pipes of the one group each being arranged at the same height is like one of the pipes in the other group; and the two pipes located at the same height are connected at opposite end faces via the pipe connections to the pipe above and below adjacent to the same group. At In this further development, a piece of laundry is hung over two pipes at the same height in the different vertical levels. One of the pipe connections leading to the next higher pipe then prevents slipping on each end face. In addition, the hanging laundry items are kept apart at the fold, which speeds up the drying process. It remains possible to hang a piece of laundry over just one pipe. The width of the towel dryer, the number of its tubes and its performance are the same compared to those of the prior art.
Die Erfindung bietet zahlreiche Variationsmöglichkeiten: Das Heizmedium kann an einem Ende zugeführt werden, beide Gruppen nacheinander durchlaufen und am anderen Ende wieder abgeführt werden. Das Heizmedium kann an beiden Enden zugeführt werden, die beiden Gruppen parallel durchlaufen und in der Mitte des mäanderförmig gebogenen Rohrstrangs wieder abgeführt werden. Es können beide Gruppen getrennt voneinander betrieben werden. Der Zulauf des Heizmediums kann im Bereich der einen Stirnseite der Rohre, der Ablauf im Bereich der anderen Stirnseite erfolgen und umgekehrt. Der Zulauf und/oder der Ablauf des Heizmediums kann für die eine Gruppe im Bereich der einen Stirnseite der Rohre, für die andere Gruppe im Bereich der anderen Stirnseite erfolgen. Der Handtuchtrockner kann parallel zu einer Wand oder auch senkrecht zu ihr befestigt werden. Er kann an eine Warmwasser-Heizungsanlage angeschlossen oder auch als einzelner Körper betrieben werden.The invention offers numerous possible variations: the heating medium can be supplied at one end, run through both groups in succession and be discharged again at the other end. The heating medium can be supplied at both ends, run through the two groups in parallel and be discharged again in the middle of the meandering bent pipe string. Both groups can be operated separately. The heating medium can be fed in in the area of one end of the pipes, the drain in the area of the other end and vice versa. The inflow and / or the outflow of the heating medium can take place for one group in the area of one end of the tubes, for the other group in the area of the other end. The towel dryer can be attached parallel to a wall or perpendicular to it. It can be connected to a hot water heating system or operated as a single body.

An die andere Stirnseite 21 kann auch eine horizontal verlaufende Rohrverbindung anschließen - Figur 10 -. Die Rohrverbindung 33 reicht in die Ebene der zweiten Gruppe und ist mit der einen Stirnseite 51 des obersten Rohres 5 dieser Gruppe verbunden. Schließlich kann - Figur 7 - das oberste Rohr 2 der einen Gruppe auch in die vertikale Ebene der anderen Gruppe geschwenkt und mit seiner anderen Stirnseite 21 an die oberste Rohrverbindung 62 der anderen Gruppe angeschlossen sein. Dabei kann das oberste Rohr gerade - ausgezogen dargestellt - oder zunächst parallel zu dem darunter angeordneten Rohr der anderen Gruppe ansteigen, etwa von der Mitte aus dann parallel zu dem darunter angeordneten Rohr der einen Gruppe abfallend ausgeführt sein - gestrichelt dargestellt -.In order to be able to pass from one group of
Der Handtuchhalter in der in Figur 7 dargestellten Ausführung ist besonders für die Energieversorgung mittels einer elektrisch gespeisten, nicht dargestellten Heizpatrone geeignet. Bei diesem Handtuchtrockner ist zwischen dem untersten Rohr 2 der einen Gruppe - Vorlauf - und dem untersten Rohr 5 der anderen Gruppe - Rücklauf - eine Querverbindung 7 vorgesehen. Die Querverbindung 7 bewirkt den Wasserumlauf um die Heizpatrone herum. Die Querverbindung geht zweckmäßig vom Anfang des Rohres 2 aus, in das die Heizpatrone geschraubt ist. Dort ist nämlich der Temperaturfühler der Heizpatrone angebracht. Die Anordnung der Querverbindung an dieser Stelle verhindert fehlerhaftes, nämlich zu früh erfolgendes Ausschalten der Heizpatrone. Für den Anschluß an eine Warmwasser-Heizungsanlage ist ein zusätzlicher Anschlußstutzen vorzusehen. Dies ermöglicht einmal den Betrieb des Handtuchtrockners mit Heizpatrone als einzelnen Körper, bei Benutzung des Anschlußstutzens aber auch den Betrieb als Bestandteil einer Warmwasser-Heizungsanlage.The towel holder in the embodiment shown in Figure 7 is particularly suitable for the energy supply by means of an electrically powered, not shown heating cartridge. In this towel dryer, a
Im übrigen können die unteren Rohre 2, 5 - wie dargestellt - sowohl horizontal als auch gegenüber der Horizontalen nach oben geneigt verlaufen. Die horizontale Anordnung empfiehlt sich aus optischen Gründen auch hinsichtlich des Einbaus der Heizpatrone.Otherwise, the
Die Befestigung des Handtuchtrockners an einer Wand erfolgt über herkömmliche Befestigungen, zum Beispiel über Flacheisen oder Winkeleisen. Die Versorgung des Handtuchtrockners mit dem Heizmedium erfolgt ebenfalls über herkömmliche Anschlüsse, zum Beispiel T-Stücke, axial oder quer verlaufende Stutzen. Bei langen Heizkörpern ist zwischen den beiden Gruppen etwa in halber Höhe eine Verbindung durch Rundeisen oder Rohr 8 zur Verstärkung bzw. Stabilitätserhöhung vorgesehen.The towel dryer is attached to a wall using conventional attachments, for example flat iron or angle iron. The towel dryer is also supplied with the heating medium via conventional connections, for example T-pieces, axially or transversely running connections. In the case of long radiators, a connection through round bars or
Der Handtuchtrockner ist vorallem im Sanitärbereich verwendbar, und zwar sowohl privat als auch gewerblich.The towel dryer is particularly useful in the sanitary area, both privately and commercially.
