Definitions

  • the invention relates to a support frame, preferably for tumble dryers or umbrellas in particular Garden umbrellas, with a support tube, around which is axially fixed to the support tube, first star part articulated support arms and articulated with these and at one, on Support tube axially fixable, second star part articulated support arms arranged in a star shape are, the support and support arms by axially moving one of the two star parts are pivotable between a folded position and an unfolded position.
  • Such racks are used in tumble dryers and umbrellas to open and close the the clotheslines or screen coverings attached to the support arms by opening and closing the Arms of the support frame, in which each formed by a support arm and a support arm Knee joints bent when the arms are folded out and almost completely when the arms are folded in be stretched.
  • a star section is along the Support tube shifted towards the other star part axially fixed to the support tube until the clothesline or screen covering spread out by the support arms pivoting away from the support tube and has been tensioned, and then axially fixed to the support tube.
  • a star part is released from its axial fixation on the support tube and from another, axially fixed star part on the support tube moved away until the support arms that together with the clothesline or umbrella covering to the support tube, their folded Have reached position, and then axially fixed to the support tube or by the folded Support frame held in its end position.
  • first star part with its articulated support arms attached to the upper end of the support tube and the second star part with its articulated support arms below the first star part Support tube for extending and retracting the arms pushed up and down and through attached to the support tube Locking devices axially fixed.
  • the second star part is, depending on the type of dryer attached to the upper end of the support tube, the clothesline then only in one predetermined working height can be spanned, or axially displaceable along the support tube and provided with its own locking device with which it can be attached to the support tube in different the height positions corresponding to the desired working height are axially fixed can.
  • tumble dryers and umbrellas are folded up standing or lying down stored and only opened when needed to get wet laundry on the stretched clothesline hang to dry or around the area around the support tube through the stretched Protect the screen covering from rain or sun.
  • unfolding the arms of the folded Support frame by pushing up the lower star part must first the resistance caused by the extended knee joints of the folded support frame be overcome before the lower part of the star with slightly open arms and slightly bent knee joints with much less effort to fold out further the arm can be pushed up further.
  • pushing up the lower star part also the weight of the support and support arms are raised.
  • the support frame with its four support arms is between which the clothesline is stretched when opening the support frame and that Weight of wet, heavy laundry hanging on the clothesline must be stable and carried out relatively heavy, which is why when the support frame is folded to push up of the lower star part required force is relatively large.
  • the lower star part is in its end position close to the ground when the support frame is folded, which is why the operator has to bend down to grasp the lower star part in order to counter it push up the resistance of the folded support frame along the support tube and at to be able to axially fix the tensioned clothesline to the support tube.
