Abstract

A rotary clothes drier has a mast 1, on which arms 4 carrying the washing line are articulated via a sliding star 2. Provided between the arms 4 and the mast 1 are spreading arms 6 which are pivotably attached, on the one hand, to a holding star 3 fastened to the mast 1 and, on the other hand, to the arms 4. To make it easier to stretch out the rotary drier in the initial stage, there is arranged in the mast 1 a spreading body 9 which cooperates with supporting elements 13 attached to the spinning arms 6 and which, as a result of displacement by means of a pull cord 15, pivots the spinning arms until the arms 4 can be swung open without much effort by pushing up the sliding star 2. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Wäschespinne entsprechend dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a clothes dryer according to the preamble of claim 1.

Bei bekannten Wäschespinnen dieser Art (z.B. US-PS 2 289 450) erfordert das Aufspannen der Wäschespinne in der Anfangsphase einen verhältnismäßig hohen Kraftaufwand, bis die Arme eine gewisse Winkellage erreicht haben. Man hat bereits versucht, durch Verwendung einer flaschenzugartig geführten Aufzugsleine diesen Mißstand zu verbessern. Aber auch eine derartige Einrichtung kann das Aufspannen der Wäschespinne erst dann erleichtern, wenn die Arme um einen gewissen Winkelbetrag aus ihrer senkrechten Ruhelage heraus verschwenkt sind, was von Hand erfolgen muß.In known laundry spiders of this type (e.g. US Pat. No. 2,289,450), opening the laundry spider in the initial phase requires a relatively large amount of force until the arms have reached a certain angular position. Attempts have already been made to improve this problem by using a pulley-like elevator line. But even such a device can only facilitate the opening of the clothes dryer when the arms are pivoted out of their vertical rest position by a certain angle, which must be done by hand.

Eine wesentliche Verbesserung in dieser Hinsicht wird bei der Wäschespinne gemäß EP-B 0 113 789 dadurch erreicht, daß bei eingeklappter Spinne die Anlenkachsen der Spreizarme an den Armen deutlich außerhalb der gedachten Verbindungslinie zwischen den Schwenkachsen der Arme und den Halteachsen der Spreizarme liegt. Diese Anordnung ergibt beim Zug am Zugseil immer eine ausreichende, vom Mast weg gerichtete Kraftkomponente, um die Arme aus ihrer senkrechten Ruhelage zu verschwenken. Das anfängliche Spreizen der Arme von Hand ist daher nicht mehr erforderlich. Allerdings können die Anlenkachsen der Spreizarme an den Armen nicht sehr weit nach außen verlegt werden, da sonst die Arme im eingeklappten Zustand in einem relativ großen Abstand vom Mast zu liegen kommen, womit der Platzbedarf der zusammengeklappten Wäschespinne vergrößert würde.A significant improvement in this regard is achieved in the clothes dryer according to EP-B 0 113 789 in that when the spider is folded in, the articulation axes of the spreading arms on the arms lie clearly outside the imaginary connecting line between the pivot axes of the arms and the holding axes of the spreading arms. This arrangement always results in a sufficient force component directed away from the mast when pulling on the pull rope in order to pivot the arms out of their vertical rest position. The initial spreading of the arms by hand is therefore no longer necessary. However, they can Linkage axes of the spreading arms on the arms are not very far outwards, since otherwise the arms come to lie at a relatively large distance from the mast when folded, which would increase the space requirement of the folded clothes dryer.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Wäschespinne der gattungsgemäßen Art zu schaffen, bei welcher der Aufspannvorgang über ein einfach geführtes Zugseil, also ohne flaschenzugartige Hilfsmittel in der Anfangsphase mit sehr geringem Kraftaufwand durchgeführt werden kann, und bei welcher die Arme im eingeklappten Zustand in geringem Abstand vom Mast zu liegen kommen, so daß der Platzbedarf der Wäschespinne sowohl bei der Aufbewahrung als auch beim Transport so gering wie möglich gehalten wird.The object of the invention is to provide a laundry spider of the generic type, in which the clamping process can be carried out with a very little effort in the initial phase using a simply guided traction rope, i.e. without pulley-like aids, and in which the arms in the folded state at a short distance come to rest from the mast, so that the space requirement of the clothes dryer is kept as low as possible both for storage and for transport.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die im Kennzeichen des Anspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst.This object is achieved by the features specified in the characterizing part of claim 1.

Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Vorschlag kann durch den Spreizkörper mit geringem Kraftaufwand eine große Spreizkraft auf die Spreizarme ausgeübt werden, um diese und durch sie die Arme in eine Winkellage zu bringen, aus der sie durch wenig Kraft erforderndes Hochschieben des Schiebesterns in die voll aufgespannte Stellung gebracht werden können. Die Anlenkachsen der Spreizarme an den Armen können bei zusammengeklappter Spinne auf der Verbindungslinie zwischen der Schwenkachse und der Halteachse oder sogar zwischen dieser Linie und dem Mast liegen, so daß die Arme im zusammengeklappten Zustand parallel zum Mast und in sehr geringem Abstand von diesem zu liegen kommen, wodurch eine äußert kompakte Bauweise erreicht wird.In the proposal according to the invention, a large spreading force can be exerted on the spreading arms by the spreading body with little effort, in order to bring them and through them the arms into an angular position from which they can be brought into the fully clamped position by pushing the starfish up with little force can. The articulation axes of the spreading arms on the arms can lie on the connecting line between the pivot axis and the holding axis or even between this line and the mast when the spider is folded, so that the arms are folded together Condition parallel to the mast and at a very short distance from it, whereby an extremely compact design is achieved.

Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen sowie aus der folgenden Beschreibung in Verbindung mit den Zeichnungen, in denen ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung im Prinzip dargestellt ist. Dabei zeigt:

  • Fig. 1 eine Wäschespinne im zusammengeklappten Zustand, wobei die rechte Hälfte im Längsschnitt dargestellt ist,
  • Fig. 2 die Wäschespinne von Fig. 1 in der rechten Hälfte im Längsschnitt nach Beginn des Aufspannvorganges und in der linken Hälfte im voll aufgespannten Zustand,
  • Fig. 3 einen gegenüber der Darstellung von Fig. 1 um 90° gedrehten Längsschnitt der Wäschespinne in größerem Maßstab,
  • Fig. 4 einen gegenüber der Darstellung von Fig. 2 um 90° gedrehten Längsschnitt der Wäschespinne in größerem Maßstab, und
  • Fig. 5 einen Schnitt entlang Linie V-V in Fig. 3 in größerem Maßstab..
Advantageous developments of the invention result from the subclaims and from the following description in conjunction with the drawings, in which an embodiment of the invention is shown in principle. It shows:
  • 1 is a clothes dryer in the folded state, the right half being shown in longitudinal section,
  • 1 in the right half in longitudinal section after the start of the clamping process and in the left half in the fully clamped state,
  • 3 shows a longitudinal section of the laundry spider rotated by 90 ° compared to the illustration in FIG. 1, on a larger scale,
  • Fig. 4 is a longitudinal section of the clothes dryer spider rotated by 90 ° compared to the representation of Fig. 2, and
  • 5 shows a section along line VV in Fig. 3 on a larger scale ..

Auf einem Mast 1 ist ein Schiebestern 2 bezüglich eines Haltesterns 3 verschiebbar, aber arretierbar gelagert. Am Schiebestern 2 sind vier Arme 4 über Schwenkachsen 5 schwenkbar gelagert. Zwischen den Armen 4 ist eine nicht dargestellte Wäscheleine gespannt. Die Arme 4 sind über Spreizarme 6 gegen den Haltestern 3 abgestützt. Die Spreizarme 6 sind mittels Anlenkachsen 7 an den Armen 4 und mittels Halteachsen 8 an dem Haltestern 3 gelagert. Durch Verschieben des Schiebesterns 5 nach oben werden die Arme 4, wie aus Fig. 2 ersichtlich, gespreizt und die Spinne wird aufgespannt.On a mast 1, a sliding star 2 is slidably mounted with respect to a holding star 3 but can be locked. Four arms 4 are pivotally mounted on the sliding star 2 via pivot axes 5. There is no one between the arms 4 shown clothesline excited. The arms 4 are supported against the holding star 3 by means of spreading arms 6. The spreading arms 6 are mounted on the arms 4 by means of articulation axes 7 and on the holding star 3 by means of holding axes 8. By moving the sliding star 5 upwards, the arms 4 are spread out, as can be seen in FIG. 2, and the spider is opened.

Um das Aufspannen der Spinne in der Anfangsphase zu erleichtern, ist im oberen Endabschnitt des Mastes unterhalb des Haltesterns 3 ein Spreizkörper 9 angeordnet, der in Längsrichtung des Mastes 1 verschiebbar und mit einem Fortsatz 10 in einer Muffe 11 des Haltesterns 3 geführt ist, der auf das obere Ende des Mastes 1 aufgesetzt ist. Der Spreizkörper 9 hat im Ausführungsbeispiel vier Rippen 12, eine für jeden Spreizarm 6, die sich vom unteren Ende des Spreizkörpers zu dessen oberen, durch eine Platte 9a gebildeten Ende hin verbreiten, so daß ihre Längskanten 12a auf der Mantelfläche eines schlanken Kegels liegen.In order to facilitate the clamping of the spider in the initial phase, an expansion body 9 is arranged in the upper end section of the mast below the holding star 3, which can be displaced in the longitudinal direction of the mast 1 and is guided with an extension 10 in a sleeve 11 of the holding star 3, which opens the upper end of the mast 1 is placed. In the exemplary embodiment, the expansion body 9 has four ribs 12, one for each expansion arm 6, which spread from the lower end of the expansion body to its upper end, which is formed by a plate 9a, so that its longitudinal edges 12a lie on the lateral surface of a slender cone.

Mit jeder Rippe 12 wirkt ein Spreizarm 6 über einen Stützelement 13 zusammen, das in einem Abstand von der Halteachse 8 in einen Durchbruch 13a in der Wand des Spreizarmes eingeclipst ist und bei eingeklappter Spinne (Fig. 1) durch eine Aussparung 14 in der Wand des Mastes 1 hindurchragt und an der Längskante 12a der betreffenden Rippe 12 anliegt, wie dies in Fig. 1 dargestellt ist. Die Längskanten 12a sind, wie aus Fig, 5 ersichtlich, gerade, um ein seitliches Abrutschen des Stützelements 13 zu verhindern, wenn der Spreizkörper 9 nach unten bewegt wird. Zur Verschiebung des Spreizkörpers 9 ist ein Zugseil 15 vorgesehen, das mit einem Ende an dem Haltestern 3 befestigt ist, sich über eine erste Rolle 16 am oberen Ende des Spreizkörper-Fortsatzes 10, eine zweite Rolle 17 am Haltestern 3 und eine dritte Rolle 18 am Schiebestern 2 erstreckt, und am anderen Ende mit einer Handhabe 19 versehen ist. Durch Anziehen des Zugseils 15 wird der Spreizkörper 9 aus seiner in Fig. 1 und Fig. 3 gezeigten Ruhelage, in welcher er mit seiner Platte 9a am unteren Ende der Muffe 11 anliegt, nach unten bewegt (siehe Fig. 4), wodurch die Spreizarme 6 über die Stützelemente 13 nach außen geschwenkt werden. Dies ist in der rechten Hälfte der Fig. 2 dargestellt. Um in Ruhestellung ein Verschieben des Schiebesterns 2 zu verhindern, ist am Schiebestern eine Arretierung in Form eines Hakens 20 vorgesehen, der an einem mit einem Griffring 21 versehenen Bauteil 22 angebracht ist, das um die Achse der Rolle 18 schwenkbar am Schiebestern 5 gelagert ist und durch eine Feder 23 in die in Fig. 3 gezeigte Einraststellung gedrückt wird, in welcher der Haken durch eine Aussparung in der Wand des Mastes 1 hindurchragt. Zum Aufspannen der Spinne wird der Haken 20 entgegen der Wirkung der Feder 23 herausgezogen (siehe Fig. 4), und der Schiebestern 5 kann nun durch Zug am Zugseil 15 oder auch durch direktes Verschieben von Hand nach oben bewegt werden, wodurch die Arme 4 in die in der linken Hälfte von Fig. 2 gezeigte Stellung gelangen. In dieser Stellung kann der Schiebestern 2 durch Einrasten des Hakens in eine der Durchbrüche 24 in der Wand des Mastes 1 arretiert werden.With each rib 12, an expanding arm 6 interacts via a support element 13 which is clipped into the opening 13a in the wall of the expanding arm at a distance from the holding axis 8 and, when the spider is folded in (FIG. 1), through a recess 14 in the wall of the Mast 1 protrudes and rests against the longitudinal edge 12a of the rib 12 in question, as shown in FIG. 1. The longitudinal edges 12a, as can be seen in FIG. 5, are straight around a lateral one Prevent slipping of the support member 13 when the expansion body 9 is moved down. To move the expansion body 9, a pull rope 15 is provided, which is attached at one end to the holding star 3, via a first roller 16 at the upper end of the expanding body extension 10, a second roller 17 on the holding star 3 and a third roller 18 on Sliding star 2 extends, and is provided at the other end with a handle 19. By pulling the pull cable 15, the expansion body 9 is moved downward from its rest position shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, in which it rests with its plate 9a at the lower end of the sleeve 11 (see FIG. 4), as a result of which the expansion arms 6 can be pivoted outwards via the support elements 13. This is shown in the right half of FIG. 2. In order to prevent displacement of the sliding star 2 in the rest position, a locking device in the form of a hook 20 is provided on the sliding star, which is attached to a component 22 provided with a grip ring 21, which is pivotably mounted on the sliding star 5 about the axis of the roller 18 and is pressed by a spring 23 into the latching position shown in FIG. 3, in which the hook protrudes through a recess in the wall of the mast 1. To clamp the spider, the hook 20 is pulled out against the action of the spring 23 (see FIG. 4), and the sliding star 5 can now be moved upwards by pulling on the pulling rope 15 or by direct displacement by hand, causing the arms 4 in that in the left half of FIG. 2 position shown. In this position, the sliding star 2 can be locked by latching the hook into one of the openings 24 in the wall of the mast 1.

Auf den Haltestern 3 ist eine Kappe 25 aufgesetzt, welche den Verschiebemechanismus des Spreizkörpers abdeckt und gegen Witterungseinflüsse schützt.On the retaining star 3, a cap 25 is placed, which covers the displacement mechanism of the expansion body and protects against the weather.

Durch den Spreizkörper 9 ist der Kraftaufwand für die Einleitung der Aufspannbewegung der Spinne sehr gering, so daß der gesamte Aufspannvorgang leicht durchgeführt werden kann, und zwar mit einer Hand durch Ziehen am Zugseil 15. Will der Benutzer den Aufspannvorgang durch manuelles Herab-schwenken eines Armes 4 beschleunigen, so kann er hierzu an den Armen 4 angebrachte Handhaben 26 verwenden.Due to the expansion body 9, the effort required to initiate the spinning movement of the spider is very low, so that the entire spanning process can be carried out easily, with one hand by pulling on the pulling rope 15. If the user wants the spanning process by manually swinging down an arm 4 accelerate, he can use 4 handles 26 attached to the arms for this purpose.

Dadurch, daß der das anfängliche Aufspannen bewirkende Mechanismus, also der Spreizkörper 9, innerhalb des Mastes 9 angeordnet ist, kommen die Arme 4 im eingeklappten Zustand (Fig. 1) parallel zum Mast und in geringem Abstand von diesem zu liegen, so daß der Platzbedarf der Wäschespinne sehr gering ist, was sowohl für die Aufbewahrung als auch für die Lagerung und den Transport wichtig ist.Because the mechanism that causes the initial clamping, that is to say the expansion body 9, is arranged inside the mast 9, the arms 4 come in the folded state (FIG. 1) to lie parallel to and at a short distance from the mast, so that the space required the clothesline is very low, which is important for storage as well as for storage and transportation.
