Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a collapsible Laundry drying rack according to the preamble of the claim 1.
  • Such a laundry drying rack is from DE 27 19 771 A known.
  • the joints are in principle spaced there Double plates made of metal, on which the legs, the Strut the main frame and the side frames on top of each other are fastened with rivets or screws. As a result, the Joints a relatively large expansion in height.
  • the object of the invention is a Laundry drying rack in the preamble of claim 1 to create the type mentioned, in which the joint is less Has dimensions.
  • first joint parts there are second ones between the first joint parts Joint parts pivoted about an upper joint axis and the main leg connected to the second joint parts is over a second hinge axis pivotable with the first Joint parts connected.
  • the side frame strut is one above the other the wide space saved so that the space gained by other elements of the clothes drying rack, for example, from a roller blind. It can also be achieved that when the Drying rack smooth the side frames on the Main frame and the legs smooth under the main frame lay. Furthermore, the leg near the joint lies down Contra-angle after opening the laundry drying rack against the top of the pillar so that this pillar is blocked and thus the laundry drying rack greater stability gains.
  • Disc-shaped plates so that the plates to the round shape of one on a narrow side of the main frame arrange arranged blinds.
  • the inner disc on the inside means for receiving a Blinds and a tubular blind cover. If necessary can then be a roller blind with a cover or just that Cover can be used.
  • At least one plate and on the elbow locking means arranged that a locking of the elbow on the Plate in the opened state of the concerned Effect side frame. This also allows the Blockage of the pillar are reinforced.
  • Another embodiment of the invention provides that the inner plate has a detent on its circumference, behind the one running between two elbows Drying stick is clickable. This way, a already existing element, the drying stick, as Latching means used.
  • a laundry drying rack is shown, which in essentially from a horizontal, rectangular Main frame 1, four at the corners of the main frame 1 arranged joints 2-5, two in joints 2, 3 and 4, 5 and articulated on the narrow sides of the main frame 1 Side frames 6, 7 and four in the said joints articulated legs 8-11, of which two each are connected by a stirrup 12 or 13.
  • Between Crossbars of the main frame 1 can be a number Drying rods may be arranged, the outermost of which, such as the drying rod 14, solid and the rest, like the drying rod 15 shown as an example, in the transverse direction of the Main frame 1 can be slidable.
  • On the side frame 6, 7 a number of drying rods are attached, which in Cross direction with fixed distances.
  • a (not visible) Roller blind with a tubular roller blind cover 16 and on the another narrow side a cover 17 is arranged. 1 puts the laundry drying rack in full unfolded state.
  • Fig. 2 the same laundry drying rack is with collapsed side frame 6, 7 shown. To this Side frames can be placed to dry laundry.
  • FIG. 3 the joint 2 shown in Fig. 1 is enlarged shown.
  • a corner connector is rectangular bores to each other, in which a Cross bar 21 and a longitudinal bar 22 are attached. These spars are designed as aluminum or steel tubes.
  • At the The top and bottom of the corner connector 20 is a hook-shaped link 23 or 24 integrated with each this piece arranged. These links are used to hold the not shown bar of the roller blind, the link 23rd would be used if that shown in Fig. 3 Joint as joint 5 (Fig. 1) is used.
  • an eye 25 connected in one piece to the corner connector 20, that for receiving an outermost drying rod (14) of the Main frame serves.
  • the corner connector 20 With the corner connector 20 are two parallel plates 26, 27 integrally connected to the main frame in Extend longitudinally and are disc-shaped.
  • the outer plate 26 is provided with a bore 28 which is below the level of the main frame. With the bore 28 align corresponding bores not visible in FIG. 3 in pillar 8 and in plate 27. Through all of these Drilling becomes a hinge pin, not shown here pushed so that the supporting leg 8 between the plates 26, 27th is rotatable.
  • the pillar 8 runs as by dashed lines Lines is shown in a flat bar 29 and sets itself with an end section lying above the bore 28 in the position shown in FIG. 3 to the corner connector 20th on. In the other end position, namely when folded Frame, the supporting leg 8 lies smoothly under the Main frame.
  • the plate 26 also has a further bore 30 on, which is arranged symmetrically to the bore 28 and through which a hinge pin is pushed if that in FIG. 3 joint shown as joint 5 (Fig. 1) can be used would.
  • An angle piece 31 is fitted between the plates 26, 27, the two legs 32, 33 which are at an angle to one another having.
  • the leg 32 has a slot at its end 34 on, in which the flat rod 29 is guided.
  • this flat rod and the leg 32 are bores provided, in which a hinge pin 35 is pushed.
  • the angle piece 31 is rotatably connected to the supporting leg 8.
  • a bore 36 is provided in which a drying rod 37 is attached.
  • This drying stick is with its other End in a corresponding bore of the joint 3 (Fig. 1) attached.
  • a locking body 38 On the circumference of the plate 27 is a locking body 38 with an internal latch provided behind the Drying rod 37 can be locked.
  • the leg 33 is tubular and takes a strut 39 of Side frame 6 on. With this leg is a cross pin 40 connected in one piece, which as a transport lock in the Bore 30 engages in the collapsed state. Finally is the tubular one having a longitudinal slot Shutter cover 16 shown that ends in an annular Paragraph of the plate 27 is, as explained in more detail later becomes.
  • the joint is in the state as in FIG. 2 shown in which the side frame 6 is closed.
  • the Leg 33 faces the interior of the main frame.
  • This first closed state is the side frame 6 for Inside of the main frame, as can be seen better in FIG. 2, inclined so that the risk of slipping on it stored laundry is less.
  • the two side frames 6, 7 can be connected with a bracket 41 so that the Legs (also the leg 8 in Fig. 4) are blocked.
  • 4 is also a curve of the supporting leg 8 adapted surface 42 of the leg 32 can be seen on this Standing leg with open side frame 6 and this would block the mainstay. 4 is the Formation of the locking body 38 recognizable, the symmetrical with two opposite locking lugs 43, 44 is formed. The joint is thus in connection with the bores 28, 30 and the limbs 23, 24 formed such that it is at all four corners of the main frame can be inserted. The means a manufacturing advantage.
  • FIG 4a shows the state with the standing leg 8 folded in, one recognizes that the supporting leg 8 about the axis 28 is pivoted and the articulated about the axis 35 with the Stand connected side frame 6 pivots.
  • the elbow 31 is alone shown.
  • the leg 32 consists of two parallel ones Side walls 47, 48, each with a jaw 49 at the end or 50 are provided. Is between these cheeks the slot 34 is arranged to receive the flat rod 29. This slot extends, as can be seen from FIG. 7, also in the bridge part 51.
  • FIG. 8 In the plan view shown in Fig. 8 on the inside plate 27 and corner connector 20 are the means recognizable for holding the blind and the blind cover.
  • a receiving sleeve 52 is located somewhat off-center in the plate 27 arranged for the roller blind shaft.
  • the receiving sleeves are 52-54 stabilized by reinforcing ribs, such as ribs 55.
