Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Lüftungs- und Trocknungsgestell gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a ventilation and drying rack according to the preamble of claim 1.

Diese sogenannten Wäscheschirme, wie sie zum Beispiel durch die EP-PS 01 13 788 bekannt sind, sind als Lüftungs- und Trocknungseinrichtungen für Kleidungsstücke und Wäsche sehr beliebt. Mit ihnen ist es möglich, auf kleinem Raum eine große Menge Kleidungs- und Wäschestücke aufzuhängen. Selbst große Teile wie Bettwäsche und Tischtücher sind kein Problem. Dieser bekannte Wäscheschirm hat den besonderen Vorteil, daß man ihn bei Nichtbenutzung auf engstem Raum zusammengeklappt unterstellen kann und die Wäscheleine voll in den Armen eingezogen wird, so daß sie vor dem Verschmutzen geschützt ist. Nachteilig an dieser Ausführung ist aber, daß der Leineneinzugmechanismus recht aufwendig ist, und daß zum öffnen und Schließen der Arme ein relativ hoher Kraftbedarf erforderlich wird.These so-called laundry umbrellas, as are known for example from EP-PS 01 13 788, are very popular as ventilation and drying devices for clothing and laundry. With them it is possible to hang up a large amount of clothing and laundry items in a small space. Even large parts such as bed linen and tablecloths are no problem. This known laundry umbrella has the particular advantage that it can be folded when not in use in a confined space and the clothesline is fully retracted in the arms so that it is protected from dirt. A disadvantage of this design, however, is that the line retraction mechanism is quite complex and that a relatively high power requirement is required to open and close the arms.

Bei dem Trocknungsgestell gemäß EP-A-219571 (Fig.5) wird ein Gewicht benützt, jedoch nicht um die Wäscheleinen durch Einziehen in die Arme zu schützen, sondern um die Leine parallel zum Mast herunterzubringen und mit an den Armen angebrachten Flügelelementen abzudecken
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Lüftungs- und Trocknungsgestell mit einer Wäscheleineneinzugsvorrichtung zu schaffen, dessen Leineneinzugsvorrichtung nur einen geringfügig höheren Aufwand an Technik erfordert als zum Beispiel ein Wäscheschirm nach der CH-PS 390 863 und das mit geringstem Kraftaufwand geöffnet und geschlossen werden kann.
A weight is used in the drying rack according to EP-A-219571 (FIG. 5), but not to protect the clotheslines by pulling them into the arms, but to bring the line down parallel to the mast and to cover it with wing elements attached to the arms
The object of the invention is to provide a ventilation and drying rack with a clothes line pull-in device, the line pull-in device of which requires only a slightly higher amount of technology than, for example, a clothes umbrella according to CH-PS 390 863 and which can be opened and closed with the least effort.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Durch das Zusammenwirken des äußeren Schiebers mit einem Gewicht wird gegenüber dem Stande der Technik die gesamte Einzugsmechanik eingespart. Die in einem Gleitkanal laufenden Gewichte ziehen beim Schließen des Wäscheschirms die Wäscheleine praktisch vollautomatisch in die Arme. Durch das Heruntergleiten der Gewichte beziehungsweise der äußeren als Gewicht ausgebildeten Schieber wird das Schließen des Wäscheschirms mit unterstützt, so daß praktisch kein
Kraftbedarf erforderlich ist.
This object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1. The interaction of the outer slide with a weight saves the entire retraction mechanism compared to the prior art. The weights running in a sliding channel pull the clothesline in almost fully automatically when the laundry screen is closed the poor. By sliding down the weights or the outer slide designed as a weight, the closing of the laundry screen is supported, so that practically none
Power is required.

Weitere Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.Further exemplary embodiments of the invention can be found in the subclaims.

So wird eine besonders einfache Bauweise durch die Vereinigung von äußerem Schieber und Gewicht erreicht. Zweckmäßigerweise wird dazu Blei als Material verwendet, das im Zusammenwirken mit dem Gleitkanal, der mit einem reibungsvermindernden Belag versehen sein kann, besonders gute Gleiteigenschaften und somit Laufeigenschaften gewährleistet. Eine spielend leichte Handhabung ist die Folge.A particularly simple design is achieved by combining the outer slide and weight. For this purpose, lead is expediently used as the material which, in cooperation with the sliding channel, which can be provided with a friction-reducing coating, ensures particularly good sliding properties and thus running properties. The result is easy handling.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird im folgenden an Hand der Zeichnungen näher erläutert.An embodiment of the invention is explained below with reference to the drawings.

Auf einem Mast 1 ist ein Befestigungsstern 2 bezüglich eines Fixpunktes 3 verschiebbar aber arretierbar gelagert. Am Befestigungsstern 2 sind Arme 4, zwischen denen Seilecke 5 gespannt sind, schwenkbar gelagert. Sie sind über Spreizarme 6 gegen den Fixpunkt 3 abgestützt. Die einzelnen Seilecke 5 sind im Inneren der Arme 4 jeweils an einem Schieber 7 angelenkt. Jeweils vor dem äußerste Schieber 8 ist ein Gewicht 9 angeordnet beziehungsweise ist der äußerste Schieber 8 als Gewicht ausgebildet. Er besteht zweckmäßigerweise aus Blei und ist in einem Gleitkanal 20 geführt.A mounting star 2 is mounted on a mast 1 so that it can be moved but locked in relation to a fixed point 3. Arms 4, between which rope corner 5 are stretched, are pivotably mounted on fastening star 2. They are supported against the fixed point 3 via spreading arms 6. The individual rope corner 5 are each articulated to a slide 7 inside the arms 4. A weight 9 is arranged in front of the outermost slide 8 or the outermost slide 8 is designed as a weight. It expediently consists of lead and is guided in a slide channel 20.

Zur Öffnung des Spreizgestelles 10, es besteht aus den Armen 4 und den Spreizarmen 6, ist am Fixpunkt 3 ein Zugseil 11 befestigt, das vom Fixpunkt 3 über eine Umlenkung 12 im Befestigungsstern 2, einer weiteren Umlenkung 13 im Fixpunkt 3 zurück zum Befestigungsstern 2 läuft. Aus diesem ist ein Betätigungsende 14 herausgeführt.To open the spreader frame 10, which consists of the arms 4 and the spreader arms 6, a traction cable 11 is fastened to the fixed point 3, which runs from the fixed point 3 via a deflection 12 in the fastening star 2, a further deflection 13 in the fixed point 3 back to the fastening star 2 . An actuating end 14 is led out of this.

Die Arme 4 bestehen aus einem einseitig offenen, kastenförmigen Profil. Es ist durch Längsrippen 19 in einen Gleitkanal 20, der als Führung für die Schieber 7 und 8 beziehungsweise das Gewicht 9 dient, einen Wäscheleinenschacht 21 für die Wäscheleine 22 und einen Schacht 23 für die Segmentabdeckungen 24 eingeteilt. Die Segmentabdeckungen 24 haben die Länge des Seileckabstandes 25 zweier benachbarter Seilecke und sind am Ende mit einem Durchbruch 26 für die Wäscheleine 22 versehen.The arms 4 consist of a box-shaped profile open on one side. It is divided by longitudinal ribs 19 into a slide channel 20, which serves as a guide for the sliders 7 and 8 or the weight 9, a clothes line shaft 21 for the clothes line 22 and a shaft 23 for the segment covers 24. The segment covers 24 have the length of the rope corner distance 25 of two adjacent rope corners and are provided at the end with an opening 26 for the clothes line 22.

Die Wäscheleine 22 ist in Form von einzelnen Seilecken 5 ausgebildet. Diese Seilecke 5 haben auf dem Boden ausgelegt die Form Von Quadraten und sind an ihren Eckpunkten 28 mit einer Klammer 27 versehen. Über diese Klammer 27 sind die Eckpunkte 28 der einzelnen Seilecke 5 in Aufnahmen 29 der Schieber 7 und 8 eingehängt.The clothesline 22 is in the form of individual rope corners 5. These rope corner 5 have the shape of squares on the floor and are provided with a bracket 27 at their corner points 28. The corner points 28 of the individual rope corner 5 are suspended in receptacles 29 of the sliders 7 and 8 via this bracket 27.

Die Schieber 7, 8 sind wie in Figur 4 leicht zu erkennen, mit zwei Gleiterhebungen 33 versehen. Zur Halterung der Klammer 27 ist ein Langloch 34, das in eine erweiterten Einführöffnung 35 mündet, vorgesehen.The slides 7, 8 are easily recognizable, as shown in FIG. 4, with two slide levers 33. An elongated hole 34, which opens into an enlarged insertion opening 35, is provided for holding the clamp 27.

Nachstehend wird an Hand von Figur 1 der Bewegungsablauf bei Betätigung des Lüftungsgestells beschrieben. Ausgehend von der geschlossenen Stellung bewegt sich beim Zug am Betätigungsende 14 des Zugseiles 11 der Befestigungsstern 2 in Richtung 15 und die Arme 4 führen eine Spreizbewegung 16 aus. Die Schieber 7 und 8 werden in die Endstellung 17 gezogen, die Seilecke 5 sind gespannt.The movement sequence when the ventilation frame is actuated is described below with reference to FIG. 1. Starting from the closed position, when the train at the actuating end 14 of the traction cable 11 moves, the fastening star 2 moves in the direction 15 and the arms 4 perform a spreading movement 16. The slides 7 and 8 are pulled into the end position 17, the rope corner 5 are tensioned.

Beim Schließen des Lüftungsgestells wird der Befestigungsstern 2, der über einen nicht dargestellten Riegel am Mast 1 arretiert ist, entriegelt. Der Schließvorgang wird durch Schwenken der Arme 4 in Richtung 40 eingeleitet. Dabei ist in der ersten Phase des Schließvorganges der Weg des Befestigungssternes 2 am Mast länger als der Einzug der Wäscheleine. Erst ab einem bestimmten Spreizwinkel 38 wird das Beharrvermögen des äußeren Schiebers 8 beziehungsweise des Gewichtes 9 überwunden. Es beginnt in Richtung 18 zu gleiten. Der Einzug der Seilecke 5, beginnend über das äußerste Seileck S1, durch das Gewicht 9 beginnt. Der äußerste Schieber 8 beginnt nach innen zu wandern und nimmmt den nächsten Schieber 7 mit. Der Einzug des Seileckes S2 beginnt und löst, nachdem der Schieber 7 wiederum den folgenden Schieber beaufschlagt, den Einzug des Seileckes S3 aus. Durch die Zugkraft der Gewichte 9 über die Wäscheleine wird das Einschwenken der Arme 4 unterstützt. Im geschlossenen Zustand des Spreizgestelles 10 liegen die Schieber dicht beieinander; die Wäscheleine beziehungsweise die um den Mast liegenden Stücke 41 der Seilecke 5 sind gespannt.When the ventilation frame is closed, the fastening star 2, which is locked on the mast 1 by a bolt, not shown, is unlocked. The closing process is initiated by swiveling the arms 4 in the direction 40. In the first phase of the closing process, the path of the fastening star 2 on the mast is longer than the pulling in of the clothesline. The persistence of the outer slide 8 or the weight 9 is only overcome from a certain spread angle 38. It starts to slide towards 18. The pulling in of the rope corner 5, starting from the outermost rope corner S1, begins with the weight 9. The outermost slider 8 begins to move inwards and takes the next slider 7 with it. The retraction of the rope corner S2 begins and triggers the retraction of the rope corner S3 after the slider 7 again acts on the following slider. The pulling-in of the arms 4 is supported by the tensile force of the weights 9 over the clothesline. In the closed state of the expansion frame 10, the slides are close together; the clothesline or the pieces 41 of the rope corner 5 lying around the mast are stretched.

Um zu erreichen, daß alle um den Mast 1 liegenden Stücke 41 gleichmäßig gespannt sind, müssen die Schieber 7, 8 jeweils eine Länge 39 haben, die der halben Längendifferenz zweier benachbarter Seileckabschnitte zum Beispiel S2 - S3 entspricht.In order to ensure that all the pieces 41 lying around the mast 1 are tensioned uniformly, the slides 7, 8 must each have a length 39 which corresponds to half the length difference of two adjacent rope corner sections, for example S2-S3.

Der Abstand des innersten Anlenkpunktes 42 des innersten Seileckes vom Mast 1 entspricht der halben Länge des Seileckabschnittes S3 plus der Länge 39 eines Schiebers 7. Die Schieber 7, 8 haben bei gleichem Seileckabstand 25 der einzelnen Seilecke 5 alle die gleiche Länge.The distance of the innermost articulation point 42 of the innermost rope corner from the mast 1 corresponds to half the length of the rope corner section S3 plus the length 39 of a slider 7. The sliders 7, 8 all have the same length at the same rope corner distance 25 of the individual rope corner 5.
