Definitions

  • the invention relates to tumble dryers for balconies, bathrooms or drying rooms.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a robust clothes dryer that can be easily assembled and disassembled.
  • a clothes dryer which is characterized by a vertical stand provided with a lower stand, which carries at its upper end a collapsible, flat dryer frame, which is pivotally connected to the stand and on the stand in a horizontal position fixable support arm and arranged on both sides of this support arm, each containing a clothes line and folding towards the support arm folding frame, each folding frame two pivotally connected to the support arm and the clothesline carrying cross member and one connecting the two cross members with each other, with the cross members each contains pivotally connected and parallel to the support arm side member.
  • this tumble dryer When folded, this tumble dryer can be stowed in a small space.
  • the folding lines that hold the clothesline are folded towards the support arm and this is pivoted to the stand together with the folded dryer frame.
  • the dryer frame For use, the dryer frame is brought into a horizontal position with its support arm and fixed in this on the stand. Then the dryer frame is opened with one or both snap frames and fixed in the opened state.
  • the washing line carried by the two cross members of the folding frame is stretched parallel to the longitudinal member of the folding frame and parallel to the support arm.
  • a bearing body which is positively connected to the support arm and provided with a pivot axis for the cross member can be provided, which is divided transversely to the pivot axis into an upper body and a lower body, both the upper body and the lower body also each has a fastening section which engages with the support arm and a flange provided with a bearing eye for the pivot axis, the pivot axis being mounted both adjacent to the top of the cross member in the flange of the upper body and the bottom of the cross member adjacent in the flange of the lower body .
  • This design ensures a secure transmission of the holding forces between the support arm and the cross member projecting at right angles when the support arm is opened. This is particularly advantageous for heavy wet laundry.
  • the division of the bearing body into an upper body and a lower body simplifies the assembly of the dryer frame during the manufacture of the clothes dryer.
  • the fastening sections of the upper body and the lower body can be positively connected to one another by a dowel parallel to the pivot axis.
  • the dowel pin prevents mutual displacement of the upper body and lower body even when the bearing body is subjected to high loads due to heavy, wet laundry which is suspended on the clothesline by cantilevered cross members.
  • the bearing body can have two plastic molded bodies, each forming the upper body or lower body, which on their mutually opposite flanges, which are respectively adjacent to the top and bottom of the cross member, by the pivot axis formed by a metal pin and in their the support arm is pressed in a form-fitting manner by means of a metal pin which is pressed into both fixing sections and is parallel to the pivot axis.
  • This training allows a simple and inexpensive manufacture and assembly of the dryer.
  • support strips can be provided, which are slidably received in a conical longitudinal groove of the respective crossbeam.
  • This training allows a simple and inexpensive manufacture and assembly of the dryer.
  • the support strips for the clothesline which are separate from the respective crossmember, the time-consuming and costly drilling of the crossmember for the production of passage openings provided for the clothesline as well as the time-consuming and costly use of protective sleeves to be inserted into this passage opening, which protect the clothesline from drilling Protect the resulting sharp burrs on the edges of the passage openings.
  • the lack of a passage opening for the clothesline lined with protective sleeves results in a cross member with a smooth and unbroken outside, which protects the washing line better than a cross member provided with a passage opening for the washing line.
  • the washing line can be pulled in in a labor-saving manner and independently of the manufacturing process of the crossmember on the support bars before they are inserted into the conical longitudinal grooves of the crossmember.
  • the conical longitudinal groove of the crossmember can be integrated into the profile cross section, so that only the profile rods with the corresponding cross section need to be cut to length from light metal extrusions for the production of the crossmember.
  • the stand is designed to be removable from the stand, that a vertical receiving sleeve is provided in the stand for the lower end section of the stand, which for automatically clamping this end section has a laterally pivotably mounted receptacle with one of the Receiving sleeve facing Clamping edge provided, clamping lever is assigned that the clamping lever is biased by at least one spring into a rest position in which its clamping edge protrudes inward beyond the receiving sleeve and blocks the receiving sleeve, that the clamping lever can be pivoted into a release position against the force of the spring, in the clamping edge releases the interior of the receiving sleeve, and that the clamping lever can be pivoted by the force of the spring from the release position into a working position in which its clamping edge rests on the outside of the lower end portion of the stand and clamps it in the receiving sleeve.
  • the stand which can be removed from the stand, can remain at the respective installation location of the tumble dryer, while the stand with the folded dryer frame is stowed elsewhere.
  • support struts protruding laterally from the pedestal and preferably adjustable can be provided, which on the one hand enlarge the footprint of the tumble dryer and on the other hand increase the weight of the pedestal.
  • the spring-loaded clamping lever to be pressed down with the foot prevents the stand from being inadvertently pushed into the receiving sleeve of the stand.
  • the clamping lever In its rest position, the clamping lever with its clamping edge facing the receiving sleeve blocks access to the receiving sleeve. Only when the clamping lever is fully depressed does its clamping edge release the receiving sleeve and the stand can be inserted into the receiving sleeve with its lower end section. If you let go of the clamping lever, the spring acting on it presses the clamping edge against the lower end section of the stand and thus automatically clamps the stand in the base.
  • the clamping lever can be actuated in a simple manner with the foot, while the stand together with the folded dryer frame can be held with both hands in order to insert the lower end of the stand into the stand.
  • the tumble dryer comprises a vertical stand 2 anchored in a lower stand 1, which carries at its upper end a collapsible, flat dryer frame 3.
  • This has an elongated central support arm 4, which is attached to the top of a bracket 5, on the underside of which the upper end of the stand 2 is pivotally mounted.
  • the support arm 4 can be pivoted together with the bracket 5 in a position substantially perpendicular to the stand 2 and fixed in this position on the stand 2.
