Abstract

The fixing unit comprises a lever-operated suction cup (1) which can be stuck to any smooth surface, such as bathroom tiles or a window, and has a projection (5) lying parallel to its diameter to receive a bar (9) for the drying rack's supporting hooks. The end of the projection is flat and perpendicular to the surface to which the suction cup is attached, and has an insert (8) with a threaded hole for a fixing screw (14) holding the bar (9) in place. The suction cup is fixed to a smooth surface with the bar situated horizontally above it, and the drying rack is then fitted with one end against the supporting surface and held up by hooks going over the bar.

Description

L'invention est relative à la fixation d'un étendage contre une paroi et concerne plus particulièrement les étendages pliants composés de cadres qui, en fil métallique ou en tube, portent des traverses d'étendages, sont articulés, sont associés à des moyens de calage en position d'utilisation et sont munis de crochets pour leur fixation sur un radiateur ou sur un barreau.The invention relates to the fixing of a spreading against a wall and concerns more particularly the folding shelves composed of frames which, in wire or tube, carry crosspieces of clotheslines, are articulated, are associated with means of chock in use position and have hooks for fixing on a radiator or on a bar.

Pour sécher le linge, il est connu d'utiliser divers types d'étendages dont certains nécessitent d'être fixés sur au moins l'une des parois de l'habitation, alors que d'autres sont sur pieds et déplaçables et pliables, ou sont accrochables sur un radiateur.To dry the laundry, it is known to use various types of clotheslines, some of which need to be attached to at least one of the walls of the house, then others are standing and movable and foldable, or can be hung on a radiator.

Les étendages fixes nécessitent de réaliser des trous de fixation dans les parois, ce qui, d'une part, n'est pas à la portée de tous, et, d'autre part, détériore la paroi et entraíne des pénalités lorsque le locataire quitte son logement.Fixed extensions require making fixing holes in the walls, which, on the one hand, is not within everyone's reach, and, on the other hand, deteriorates the wall and leads to penalties when the tenant leaves his home.

Les étendages se fixant sur les radiateurs présentent l'avantage de n'assurer aucune détérioration des locaux mais ont, pour inconvénient, de ne pouvoir être fixés que dans les zones du local comportant des radiateurs. De la sorte, ils ne peuvent être utilisés qu'en complément d'un étendage ou uniquement pour de petites lessives.The shelves attaching to the radiators have the advantage of not ensuring any deterioration premises but have the disadvantage that they cannot be fixed only in areas of the room with radiators. In this way, they cannot be used that in addition to an extension or only for small detergents.

La présente invention a pour objet de remédier à ces inconvénients en fournissant un dispositif pour la fixation d'un étendage muni de crochets de suspension qui ne nécessite aucun trou de fixation et permet de disposer l'étendage contre toute paroi lisse, telle que carrelage ou vitrage.The object of the present invention is to remedy these disadvantages by providing a device for the fixing a drying rack fitted with suspension hooks which does not require any fixing hole and allows to have drying against any smooth wall, such as tiling or glazing.

Le dispositif de fixation selon l'invention est composé :

  • d'une ventouse à levier dont le corps, en forme de cloche circulaire, comporte une excroissance parallèle à un diamètre ayant une face en bout plane et sensiblement perpendiculaire à la surface d'appui de la ventouse,
  • d'une barre de fixation rectiligne et transversale ayant une portée centrale plane venant en appui sur la face en bout de l'excroissance du corps,
  • et d'un moyen de fixation assurant la liaison de la barre avec l'excroissance du corps de ventouse.
The fixing device according to the invention is composed:
  • a lever suction cup whose body, in the form of a circular bell, has a protrusion parallel to a diameter having a flat end face and substantially perpendicular to the bearing surface of the suction cup,
  • a rectilinear and transverse fixing bar having a flat central bearing bearing on the end face of the protuberance of the body,
  • and a fixing means ensuring the connection of the bar with the projection of the suction cup body.

Ce dispositif peut se fixer sur toute surface lisse, et en particulier dans une salle de bain, et permet ainsi, par sa barre transversale, la fixation de tout étendage comportant des crochets. Après utilisation, l'étendage peut être dégagé et voire même replié et le dispositif de fixation peut être soit retiré, soit laissé en place, compte tenu de son faible encombrement.This device can be fixed on any surface smooth, and especially in a bathroom, and allows thus, by its crossbar, the fixing of everything drying rack with hooks. After use, the drying rack can be released and even folded up and the fixing device can be either removed or left in place, given its small footprint.

En multipliant les dispositifs de fixation et donc les étendages, il est possible de disposer d'une grande longueur d'étendage dans un espace réduit, par exemple au-dessus d'une baignoire, en utilisant ainsi cette baignoire comme récipient d'accueil des gouttes d'égouttage.By multiplying the fixing devices and therefore the extensions, it is possible to have a large drying length in a small space, for example above of a bathtub, thus using this bathtub as a receiving container for drip drops.

La fixation du dispositif sur une paroi quelconque s'effectue très aisément par la seule manipulation du levier de la ventouse, c'est à dire par une manoeuvre à la portée de quiconque, et sans que la paroi réceptrice soit détériorée.Fixing the device on any wall is very easily done by the manipulation of the lever of the suction cup, i.e. by a maneuver to the reach of anyone, and without the receiving wall being deteriorated.

D'autres caractéristiques ressortiront de la description qui suit en référence au dessin annexé.

  • Figure 2 est une vue partielle de côté en coupe suivant II-II de figure 1 montrant une forme d'exécution des moyens de fixation de la barre transversale sur le corps de ventouse,
  • Figure 3 est une vue de côté en élévation, avec coupe partielle, montrant le dispositif lorsqu'il est mis en oeuvre un étendage à crochets.
    • Other characteristics will emerge from the description which follows with reference to the appended drawing.
  • FIG. 1 is a front elevation view of an embodiment of the fixing device,
  • FIG. 2 is a partial side view in section along II-II of FIG. 1 showing an embodiment of the means for fixing the transverse bar to the suction cup body,
  • Figure 3 is a side elevational view, partially in section, showing the device when it is implemented a hook spreader.

    • Dans ce dessin, la référence 2 désigne le corps, en forme de cloche circulaire, d'une ventouse 1 comprenant également une membrane élastiquement déformable 3 en forme de disque. Cette membrane est solidaire en son centre d'un axe, non représenté, déplaçable par un levier articulé 4. Le corps 2 est solidaire d'une excroissance 5 qui, dans la forme d'exécution représentée, est décalée par rapport au plan diamétral du corps et à son axe longitudinal qui est parallèle à un diamètre. Cette excroissance est dotée d'une face en bout plane 6 qui est sensiblement perpendiculaire à la surface d'appui contre laquelle la ventouse doit être plaquée. De la face en bout 6, débouche un alésage fileté 7 constitué, par exemple, par la partie interne d'un insert 8, noyé dans la matière synthétique constituant le corps 2 de la ventouse.In this drawing, the reference 2 designates the body, in the shape of a circular bell, with a suction cup 1 comprising also an elastically deformable membrane 3 in shape disc. This membrane is integral in its center with a axis, not shown, movable by an articulated lever 4. The body 2 is integral with a protuberance 5 which, in the embodiment shown, is offset from the diametral plane of the body and its longitudinal axis which is parallel to a diameter. This outgrowth is endowed of a flat end face 6 which is substantially perpendicular to the bearing surface against which the suction cup should be plated. From the end face 6, opens a threaded bore 7 constituted, for example, by the part internal of an insert 8, embedded in the synthetic material constituting the body 2 of the suction cup.

    Le dispositif selon l'invention comporte également une barre de fixation 9 qui est rectiligne et s'étend transversalement de part et d'autre de l'excroissance 5, et sensiblement parallèlement à la paroi contre laquelle la ventouse est fixée.The device according to the invention also comprises a fixing bar 9 which is straight and extends transversely on either side of the protrusion 5, and substantially parallel to the wall against which the suction cup is attached.

    Dans la forme d'exécution représentée, la partie centrale de la barre 9 est munie de deux portées centrales planes constituées par deux méplats 10a, 10b qui sont formés par écrasement local du tube constituant la barre. Cette partie centrale est traversée par un alésage lisse 11, visible figure 2.In the embodiment shown, the part central of bar 9 has two central spans planes constituted by two flats 10a, 10b which are formed by local crushing of the tube constituting the bar. This central part is crossed by a smooth bore 11, visible in Figure 2.

    A chacune de ses extrémités, la barre est munie d'un retour 12 coudé vers le haut et formant arrêt pour les crochets de l'étendage. Sa longueur est adaptée à l'intervalle entre les crochets 13 d'un étendage du type représenté à la figure 3, cette longueur étant, en général, comprise entre 30 et 50 centimètres.At each of its ends, the bar is provided of a return 12 bent upwards and forming a stop for the hanging hooks. Its length is adapted to the interval between the hooks 13 of an extension of the type shown in Figure 3, this length being, in general, between 30 and 50 centimeters.

    Dans la forme d'exécution représentée à la figure 1, la fixation de la barre 9 sur le corps 2 de la ventouse est assurée par une vis 14 dont la tige traverse l'alésage 11 de la barre, l'alésage d'une rondelle 15 et se visse dans l'alésage fileté 7 du corps 2, tandis que la tête prend appui sur le méplat 10b supérieur, ménagé sur la partie centrale de la barre.In the embodiment shown in the figure 1, the fixing of the bar 9 on the body 2 of the suction cup is ensured by a screw 14 whose rod passes through the bore 11 from the bar, the bore of a washer 15 and screws in the threaded bore 7 of the body 2, while the head is supported on the upper flat 10b, formed on the central part of the bar.

    Dans la forme d'exécution représentée à la figure 2, la partie filetée inférieure 16a, d'un goujon fileté 16, à collerette 17, est vissée dans l'alésage fileté 7 de l'excroissance 5 jusqu'à appui de la collerette 17 sur la face en bout 6 de cette excroissance, tandis que la partie supérieure filetée 16b du goujon traverse librement l'alésage 11 de la barre 9 pour recevoir un bouchon fileté 18. Lorsque ce bouchon fileté est complètement vissé sur le goujon, il ménage entre lui et le méplat 10b de la barre 9 un jeu axial J. Ce jeu, fortement exagéré à la figure 2, permet le débattement angulaire de la barre 9 par rapport au corps 2 de la ventouse, par exemple, pour adapter la position de cette barre à la configuration de la paroi.In the embodiment shown in the figure 2, the lower threaded part 16a, of a threaded stud 16, with flange 17, is screwed into the threaded bore 7 of the protrusion 5 until the collar 17 is pressed on the opposite end 6 of this outgrowth, while the part threaded upper 16b of the stud crosses freely the bore 11 of the bar 9 to receive a threaded plug 18. When this threaded plug is completely screwed on the stud, it spares between it and the flat 10b of the bar 9 an axial clearance J. This clearance, greatly exaggerated at the Figure 2, allows the angular movement of the bar 9 relative to the body 2 of the suction cup, for example, for adapt the position of this bar to the configuration of Wall.

    Comme le montre la figure 3, lorsque le dispositif selon l'invention est fixé contre une paroi 20, la barre 9 est disposée sensiblement horizontalement. Elle peut ainsi recevoir, sur ses parties disposées de part et d'autre du corps 2 de la ventouse, les crochets 13 d'un étendage 22 comprenant au moins un cadre métallique 23 avec des traverses 24.As shown in Figure 3, when the device according to the invention is fixed against a wall 20, the bar 9 is arranged substantially horizontally. She can thus receive, on its parts arranged on either side of the body 2 of the suction cup, the hooks 13 of a stretch 22 comprising at least one metal frame 23 with sleepers 24.

    Lorsque l'étendage n'est plus utile, il peut être plié en dégageant ainsi le local dans lequel il est disposé. Le dispositif de fixation peut également être retiré, mais en raison de son encombrement réduit, il peut être laissé sur place.When the drying rack is no longer useful, it can be folded thus freeing the room in which it is willing. The fixing device can also be removed, but due to its small footprint, it can be left behind.

    Le dispositif de fixation selon l'invention peut être utilisé sur toutes parois lisses, telles que carrelage ou vitrage de salle de bain, de W-C., de pièces diverses, sans que sa mise en place ou son extraction, provoque une quelconque détérioration.The fixing device according to the invention can be used on all smooth walls, such as bathroom or W-C. tiles or glazing various, without its installation or extraction, causes any deterioration.

    Enfin, un même dispositif de fixation peut être utilisé avec différents types d'étendage puisque ceux-ci ont des crochets qui sont conçus pour s'adapter sur différents types de radiateurs.Finally, the same fixing device can be used with different types of clothesline since these have hooks that are designed to fit on different types of radiators.
