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 z.B. durch die EP-PS-0 123 788 bekannt sind, sind als Lüftungs- und Trocknungseinrichtungen für Kleidungsstücke und Wäsche sehr beliebt. Dieser bekannte Wäscheschirm hat den besonderen Vorteil, daß man ihn bei Nichtbenutzung auf engstem Raum zusammengeklappt unterstellen kann und die Wäscheleine voll zurückgezogen wird, so daß sie nicht herunterhängt und vor dem Verschmutzen weitgehend geschützt ist. Nachteilig an dieser Ausführung ist aber, daß der Leineneinzugmechanismus recht aufwendig ist und daß zum Öffnen und Schließen der Arme eine relativ hoher Kraftbedarf erforderlich wird.These so-called laundry umbrellas, as you e.g. are known from EP-PS-0 123 788, are very useful as ventilation and drying devices for clothing and laundry popular. This well-known laundry umbrella has the particular advantage that you can Folded when not in use in a confined space The clothesline is pulled back fully so that it does not hang down and in front of the Pollution is largely protected. A disadvantage of this version is that Linen retraction mechanism is quite complex and that to open and close the Arms require a relatively high amount of power.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Lüftungs- und Trocknungsgestell mit einer Wäscheleinen einzugsvorrichtung zu schaffen, dessen Leineneinzugsvorrichtung nur einen geringfügig höheren Aufwand an Technik erfordert, als z.B. ein Wäscheschirm nach CH-PS 390 863 und das mit geringstem Kraftaufwand geöffnet und geschlossen werden kann.The object of the invention is a ventilation and drying rack with a clothes line to create feed device, the line feed device only slightly requires more technology than e.g. a laundry umbrella according to CH-PS 390 863 and that can be opened and closed with minimal effort.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Durch den Wegfall von Schiebern in den Armen wird die Wäscheleineneinzugsvorrichtung leichtgängiger, da beträchtliche Reibflächen wegfallen. Durch entsprechende Gestaltung des Profils der Arme bzw. durch zusätzliche Kunststoffabdeckungen kann auch bei dieser Ausführungsform eine weitgehende Abdeckung der Wäscheleine im beigeklappten Zustand des Spreizgestelles erreicht werden.This object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1. By the elimination of sliders in the arms becomes the clothesline feeder smoother as there are no large friction surfaces. By appropriate design the profile of the arms or additional plastic covers can also be used for this Embodiment extensive coverage of the clothesline in the folded state of the expansion frame can be reached.

Weitere Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen. So kann durch die Befestigung des Betätigungselementes, es wird bevorzugt als Seil ausgeführt, an jedem Seileck erreicht werden, daß beim Beiklappen der Arme das innerste Seileck, also das Seileck, das als erstes von den Armen bzw. der Abdeckung erfaßt wird, total beigezogen wird, während die weitere Seilecke nach Außen zunehmend nicht ganz beigezogen werden; dagegen wird bei einer Befestigung des Betätigungselementes am äußersten Seileck und gleitender Anlenkung an den restlichen Seilecken erreicht, daß das äußerste Seileck total beigezogen wird, während zu den inneren Seilecken hin zunehmend ein Rest der Seilecke freihängend bleibt.Further embodiments of the invention can be found in the subclaims. So can by fastening the actuating element, it is preferably designed as a rope each Seileck that the innermost Seileck, so when folding the arms the Seileck, which is first covered by the arms or the cover, totally is involved, while the other corner of the rope increasingly not entirely to the outside be involved; on the other hand, when the actuator is attached to extreme rope corner and sliding articulation on the remaining rope corners achieved that outermost Seileck is totally involved, while increasing towards the inner Seilecken a rest of the rope corner remains free hanging.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann ein gleichmäßiger Einzug aller Seilecke durch die Anordnung von Distanzhülsen erreicht werden. Die Distanzhülsen sind zweckmäßigerweise gleichzeitig als Fixierelement der einzelnen Seileckabschnitte auf den Armen ausgebildet.In a further embodiment of the invention, all rope corners can be pulled in evenly the arrangement of spacers can be achieved. The spacers are expediently at the same time as a fixing element of the individual rope corner sections on the Poor educated.
