Abstract

The clothes drier, consisting of a central frame (1) and two folding side frames (4, 4') made from horizontal bars (2, 2', 6, 6', 6, 10, 10', 11, 11', 11) and uprights (3, 3', 5, 5') with castors on their lower ends, has a series of hinged rods (7, 7') that are suspended from the horizontal bars (6, 6', 6) on one side frame (4) and are deployable horizontally to engage with notches in the bars (11, 11', 11) on the opposite side frame (4') to give an increase in hanging capacity. Each of the deployable rods has its tip (13) shaped to engage with one of the notches to provide rigidity in the deployed position.

Description

La présente invention concerne le domaine des équipements ménagers et spécialement un support mobile et repliable pour le séchage du linge, notamment en intérieur.The present invention relates to the field of household equipment and especially a mobile and folding support for drying clothes, especially indoors.

On connaít une structure support pour sécher le linge constituant un séchoir d'intérieur, dit «séchoir tour » conformé par un premier et un second cadre, ces deux cadres rectangulaires étant repliables angulairement l'un contre l'autre selon un axe vertical traversant les petits cotés hotizontaux des dits cadres ; de sorte que dans la position repliée les deux cadres rigides sont ramenés l'un contre l'autre, tandis qu'en position déployée du support les deux cadres sont disposés à angle droit. Les deux cadres formant la structure porteuse du séchoir comportent des claies ou clayettes de suspension, formées elles même de petits cadres intérieurs garnis de fils ou barrettes parallèles propres à recevoir les articles en cours de séchage. En situation de repli du séchoir ces clayettes articulées selon l'un de leurs longs cotés sur deux montants d'un premier cadre sont suspendues pendulairement en attente dans le plan vertical défini par les deux montants du dit cadre. Après déploiement des deux cadres définissant la structure porteuse du séchoir, chaque clayette peut être relevée angulairement depuis sa position repliée précédente pour être amenée en position horizontale ; et elle peut être alors immobilisée dans cette position horizontale opérationnelle, son bord opposé à l'axe d'articulation venant prendre appui contre le montant du second cadre.We know a support structure for drying laundry constituting an indoor dryer, said "Tower dryer" shaped by first and second frames, these two rectangular frames being folded angularly against each other along a vertical axis passing through the small hot sides of said frames; so that in the folded position the two rigid frames are brought against each other, while in the deployed position of the support the two frames are arranged at right angles. The two frames forming the supporting structure of the dryer have suspension racks or shelves, which are themselves small frames interiors trimmed with wires or parallel bars suitable for receiving the articles being drying. When the dryer is folded back, these shelves articulated according to one of their long listed on two uprights of a first frame are suspended pendulum pending in the vertical plane defined by the two uprights of said frame. After deployment of the two frames defining the supporting structure of the dryer, each shelf can be raised angularly from its previous folded position to be brought into a horizontal position; and she can then be immobilized in this horizontal operational position, its edge opposite to the hinge pin coming to bear against the amount of the second frame.

Les séchoirs de ce type sont très répandus car ils permettent de disposer dans la position déployée et opératoire d'un métrage linéaire de suspension élevé, sur un volume réduit, tandis qu'en position repliée, les deux cadres et les clavettes étant dans des plans parallèles, le volume de rangement occupe est très réduit.Dryers of this type are very widespread because they allow to have in the position deployed and operating a linear measurement of high suspension, on a reduced volume, while in the folded position, the two frames and the keys being in parallel planes, the storage volume occupied is very small.

Il reste toutefois que la manoeuvre de mise en place, et ultérieurement de retrait des effets et linges mis au séchage reste malaisée, longue et relativement délicate. On comprend en effet que les barrettes horizontales de suspension venue des clayettes mises en position active et destinées à recevoir les textiles mis au séchage sont d'accès rendu malaisé par la présence, face à l'opérateur et au centre même de la rangée des barrettes du montant du second cadre sur lequel la clayette vient prendre appui ; de sorte qu'il faut accéder à la barrette réceptrice, soit par la droite, soit par la gauche du montant, pour ensuite étaler sur la barrette le linge entrant ; de plus les barrettes étant fixes et solidaires du cadre interne de la clayette sont proches l'une de l'autre, dans le souci, justifié, d'accroítre le métrage linéaire (le suspension ; aussi l'insertion d'un linge entre deux barrettes est gênée par la présence proche des barrettes voisines ; l'opérateur doit donc, étant déjà handicapé par le montant ou pied central, insérer les pans du linge introduit de chaque coté de la barrette réceptrice pour le faire reposer sur cette dernière, le passage étroit étant limité par les deux barrettes adjacentes.However, the maneuver for setting up, and subsequently removing the effects and linen put on drying remains awkward, long and relatively delicate. We understand indeed that the horizontal suspension bars coming from the shelves placed in the active position and intended to receive the textiles put in the drying are of access made difficult by the presence, in front of the operator and in the very center of the row of bars for the upright of the second frame on which the shelf comes to bear; so you have to access the receiver module, either by the right or by the left of the upright, then spreading the laundry on the bar incoming; more bars being fixed and integral with the internal frame of the shelf are close to each other, in the justified concern, to increase the linear footage (the suspension; also the insertion of a cloth between two bars is hampered by the close presence of the bars neighbors; the operator must therefore, being already handicapped by the upright or central foot, insert the sides of the laundry inserted on each side of the receiving strip to rest it on the latter, the narrow passage being limited by the two adjacent bars.

Enfin les séchoirs du type décrit restent d'usage limité aux effets personnels et au linge de maison de format réduit et ne sont pas aptes, dans des conditions normales d'utilisation de recevoir des linges de dimensions correspondant à des draps, nappes ou analogues ; leur positionnement éventuel au-dessus de la structure porteuse, en position de recouvrement ne permet plus alors une aération et une évacuation de l'air chargé d'humidité provenant de l'espace intérieur de la tour.Finally, the dryers of the type described remain in use limited to personal effects and linen. house of reduced size and are not suitable, under normal conditions of use of receive linens of dimensions corresponding to sheets, tablecloths or the like; their possible positioning above the supporting structure, in the covering position does not more then allows ventilation and evacuation of the moisture laden air from the interior space of the tower.

La présente invention vise à remédier à ces inconvénients et permet d'offrir un support linéaire de séchage de linge de longueur active satisfaisante avec l'avantage d'un volume de rangement réduit en position repliée. Il offre ainsi des commodités de rangement et de mise en place, avec une rapidité et un confort d'exécution permettant un gain de temps et épargnant la pénibilité des opérations selon les appareils de l'art antérieur précédemment décrits.The present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks and makes it possible to offer a support Linen drying rack of satisfactory working length with the advantage of a volume of reduced storage in the folded position. It therefore offers storage and storage facilities in place, with speed and comfort of execution, saving time and saving money the arduousness of the operations according to the devices of the prior art previously described.

Et selon un autre objet de l'invention le séchoir permet la réception de pièces textiles de grandes dimensions, sans handicaper le séchage des pièces plus petites garnissant les supports intérieurs. L'invention permet ainsi non seulement de bénéficier d'un métrage linéaire de suspension, mais réalise en outre un moyen de support de séchage adapté aux pièces de surface importante, jusqu'à présent difficiles à mettre en suspension de séchage.And according to another object of the invention, the dryer allows the reception of textile pieces of large dimensions, without hampering the drying of the smaller parts lining the supports interiors. The invention thus makes it possible not only to benefit from a linear measurement of suspension, but also realizes a drying support means adapted to the pieces of large surface area, so far difficult to suspend drying.

A cet effet l'invention concerne un support de séchage d'inférieur du type repliable et constitué d'un volet central et (le deux cadres latéraux de dimensions sensiblement identiques, soit un premier cadre et un second cadre articulés chacun latéralement sur les montants verticaux adjacents appartenant au volet central et repliables angulairement contre ce volet central pour occuper des positions parallèles voisines, les cadres latéraux étant déployables selon leur axe d'articulation pour occuper chacun une position dans un plan vertical à angle droit du plan du volet central, les cadres latéraux comportent une pluralité de traverses horizontales et les traverses d'au moins un des cadres latéraux comportent des tringles ou barrettes de suspension de longueur correspondant sensiblement à la largeur du volet central et donc à l'intervalle entre les deux cadres latéraux dans leur position déployée, les dites tringles sont suspendues pendulairement et libres à une traverse venue d'un premier cadre latéral, étant aptes par déplacement angulaire à être amenées en position horizontale et le second cadre latéral comporte des traverses libres de tringles et disposées sensiblement dans le plan horizontal de la traverse du premier cadre latéral lui faisant face et porteur des dites tringles, ces traverses libres du second cadre étant ainsi aptes à recevoir l'appui de l'extrémité libre dune ou plusieurs tringles venues de la traverse opposée en regard et appartenant au premier cadre.To this end, the invention relates to a lower drying support of the folding type and consisting of a central flap and (the two side frames of dimensions substantially identical, i.e. a first frame and a second frame each articulated laterally on the adjacent vertical uprights belonging to the central flap and angularly foldable against this central flap to occupy neighboring parallel positions, the lateral frames being deployable along their axis of articulation to each occupy a position in a plane vertical at right angles to the plane of the central flap, the side frames have a plurality of horizontal sleepers and the sleepers of at least one of the side frames have rods or suspension bars of length corresponding substantially to the width of the central flap and therefore at the interval between the two lateral frames in their deployed position, the said rods are suspended pendulum and free from a cross coming from a first lateral frame, being able by angular displacement to be brought into a horizontal position and the second lateral frame comprises crosspieces free of rods and arranged substantially in the horizontal plane of the crosspiece of the first lateral frame facing it and carrying the said rods, these free crosspieces of the second frame thus being able to receive the support of the free end of one or more rods coming from the opposite cross member opposite and belonging to the first frame.

Dans une version simplifiée et avantageuse de réalisation, le volet central est constitué de deux ou plus traverses horizontales reliant deux montants lesquels sont communs à ce volet central et à chacun des cadres latéraux.In a simplified and advantageous version, the central flap consists of two or more horizontal crosspieces connecting two uprights which are common to this flap central and to each of the side frames.

Selon un développement de l'invention les traverses du second cadre comportent des encoches aptes chacune à recevoir et immobiliser l'extrémité d'une tringle venue de la traverse du cadre opposée.According to a development of the invention, the crosspieces of the second frame include notches each capable of receiving and immobilizing the end of a rod coming from the cross of the opposite frame.

De préférence l'extrémité libre des tringles de suspension venant en appui sur la traverse du second cadre comporte des organes en relief de forme complémentaire de la dite encoche et ainsi propre à s'emboíter dans la dite encoche en assurant la rigidification stable de l'ensemble des trois cadres formant en plan une structure en U, ouvert par sa face située entre les montants libres des dites premier et second cadre, le dégagement des tringles de leur encoche réceptrice permettront la réversibilité de cette rigidification pour ramener la structure du séchoir vers sa position repliée et compactée.Preferably the free end of the suspension rods coming to bear on the cross member of the second frame comprises raised bodies of complementary shape of said notch and thus suitable for fitting into said notch while ensuring the stable stiffening of all three frames forming in plan a U-shaped structure, open by its face located between the free amounts of said first and second frame, the release of the rods from their receiving notch will allow the reversibility of this stiffening to bring the structure back from the dryer to its folded and compacted position.

Et avantageusement les premier et second cadres latéraux et le cadre central comporte, de préférence à proximité du sommet de leurs montants verticaux des becquets soit un becquet à proximité du sommet de chaque montant.And advantageously the first and second side frames and the central frame comprises, of preferably near the top of their vertical spoilers or a spoiler near the top of each post.

De préférence encore les dits becquets sont repliables entre une position ramenée vers le plan de chaque cadre supportant le becquet correspondant et une position projetée sensiblement à 90° vers l'extérieur par rapport au dit plan.Preferably also the said spoilers are foldable between a position brought towards the plane of each frame supporting the corresponding spoiler and a position projected substantially at 90 ° outwards from said plane.

Et plus spécialement les deux becquets appartenant à un même cadre sont porteurs d'au moins un fil de suspension les réunissant. And more specifically, the two spoilers belonging to the same frame carry at least a suspension wire joining them.

On comprendra par la description qui va suivre les caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention ; déjà on voit que la structure en U horizontal du séchoir déployé, soit le cadre central formant la base du U et les deux cadres latéraux définissant les branches, laisse une face libre pour le positionnement de l'utilisateur et les manoeuvres de mise en place des pièces à sécher. L'utilisateur met en effet en place les tringles reliant un premier cadre au cadre lui faisant face successivement et au fur et à mesure du remplissage du séchoir ; de sorte que cet utilisateur peut présenter le linge ou pièce textile frontalement et directement face au fil support, en l'y fixant rapidement éventuellement par des épingles ou en cavalier, comme on le fait sur un fil de séchage extérieur.It will be understood from the description which follows the characteristics and advantages of the invention; we can already see that the horizontal U-shaped structure of the deployed dryer, i.e. the frame central forming the base of the U and the two side frames defining the branches, leaves a free face for positioning of the user and maneuvers for setting up the parts to dry. The user indeed sets up the rods connecting a first frame to the frame facing him successively and as the dryer is filled; of so that this user can present the linen or textile piece frontally and directly facing the support wire, fixing it quickly if necessary with pins or in a jumper, as we do on an outside drying wire.

La mise en place du linge est donc confortable, rapide et logique puisque l'opérateur déploie les barrettes ou tringles de suspension au fur et à mesure des besoins.
La barrette une fois déployée étant toujours libre d'accès, sans manoeuvre d'insertion dans la fente étroite définissant l'intervalle entre deux barrettes dans les accessoires de l'art antérieur.The installation of the linen is therefore comfortable, fast and logical since the operator deploys the suspension bars or rods as and when required.
Once deployed, the bar is always free to access, without insertion into the narrow slot defining the interval between two bars in the accessories of the prior art.

L'insertion de l'extrémité des barrettes dans les encoches réceptrices assure l'homogénéité et la rigidité de l'ensemble qui peut être déplacé vers un emplacement final approprié.The insertion of the end of the bars in the receiving notches ensures homogeneity and the rigidity of the assembly which can be moved to an appropriate final location.

Les becquets à déploiement extérieurs avec leur fil de suspension offrent un métrage linéaire périphérique entourant l'ensemble de la structure et ainsi propre à recevoir la suspension de pièces de grande dimension, complétant avantageusement la capacité d'absorption du séchoir, sans cependant handicaper le rendement d'évacuation de l'humidité au niveau des pièces en position centrales sur les tringles entre les deux cadres latéraux.

    • The external deployment spoilers with their suspension wire offer a peripheral linear measurement surrounding the entire structure and thus suitable for receiving the suspension of large pieces, advantageously supplementing the absorption capacity of the dryer, without however compromising the yield for evacuating moisture at the level of the pieces in the central position on the rods between the two side frames.

    • Selon l'ensemble des figures on voit que le séchoir, en forme générale de triptyque articulé se compose de trois volets, soit un volet central 1, ici réduit à deux simples traverses 2 et 2' rapportées à deux montants latéraux 3 et 3' ; ces mêmes montants sont communs au volet central 1 et aux deux volets latéraux 4 et 4', ces volets latéraux sont formés d'un premier 4 et d'un second 4' cadre rectangulaire disposé à chant vertical et formé de deux montants et d'une pluralité de traverses ; chaque cadre latéral 4 ou 4'se compose ainsi d'un montant interne 3 ou 3' (commun avec le volet central) et d'un montant externe 5 ou 5', pour chaque volet les deux montants sont réunis par une pluralité de traverses horizontales.According to all of the figures it can be seen that the dryer, in the general form of an articulated triptych is consists of three sections, a central section 1, here reduced to two simple crosspieces 2 and 2 ' related to two lateral uprights 3 and 3 '; these same amounts are common to the component central 1 and to the two side flaps 4 and 4 ', these side flaps are formed by a first 4 and a second 4 ′ rectangular frame arranged on a vertical edge and formed of two uprights and a plurality of sleepers; each side frame 4 or 4 'is thus made up of an upright internal 3 or 3 '(common with the central flap) and an external upright 5 or 5', for each shutter the two uprights are joined by a plurality of horizontal crosspieces.

    Un premier cadre latéral, par exemple dans la forme représentée et décrite le cadre 4, est prévu avec des traverses 6, 6' et 6", telles que vues en détail aux figures 4 et 5 et porteuses de l'extrémité articulée de tringles de suspension 7, 7'. A cet effet ces traverses comportent des encoches 8, 8' pour l'engagement de l'extrémité coudée de chaque tringle engagée dans l'encoche et emprisonnée par un couvercle 9 emboíté sur le sommet de la traverse. Les tringles peuvent rester pendantes ou être relevées vers leur position active horizontale. La figure 4 montre une traverse liante 6 du cadre latéral 4, la figure 5 monde une traverse sensiblement identique correspondant aux traverses 6' et 6" intermédiaires et porteuses à chaque extrémité d'un manchon de liaison sur le montant porteur 3 et 5. Une traverse inférieure 10 complète l'ossature du cadre latéral 4.A first lateral frame, for example in the form shown and described in frame 4, is provided with crosspieces 6, 6 'and 6 ", as seen in detail in Figures 4 and 5 and carriers of the articulated end of suspension rods 7, 7 '. For this purpose these sleepers include notches 8, 8 'for the engagement of the bent end of each rod engaged in the notch and trapped by a cover 9 fitted on the top of the crosspiece. The rods can remain hanging or be raised to their horizontal active position. The Figure 4 shows a binding cross 6 of the side frame 4, Figure 5 world a cross substantially identical corresponding to the intermediate and carrying 6 'and 6 "sleepers with each end of a connecting sleeve on the support post 3 and 5. A crosspiece lower 10 completes the framework of the lateral frame 4.

    Dans leur position horizontale active les tringles sont amenées en appui par leur extrémité libre sur la traverse du cadre opposé et situé à la même hauteur que la traverse d'articulation. Ces traverses 11, 11', 11'' de mise en appui des tringles sont représentées à la figure 8 et comportent une rangée de logements ouverts vers le haut 12, 12' ; la figure 9 montre une vue en détail de ce logement ; chacun comporte deux parois latérales 12a, 12b et un fond 12c. une paroi latérale 12a est moins haute que sa voisine pour faciliter l'engagement et le positionnement de la sphère terminale 13 disposée à l'extrémité de chaque tringle et destinée à venir s'immobiliser dans son logement récepteur. La paroi du logement 12 faisant face à la tringle est largement évidée pour permettre le passage de la tringle ; à la base de cette face un redent 12d en creux en forme d'arc de cercle sert de berceau à l'appui du corps cylindrique de la tringle, tandis que le fond 12c du logement forme cuvette en calotte sphérique pour recevoir la sphère terminale 13. Une traverse de liaison 10' symétrique de la traverse 10 complète la structure du cadre latéral 4.In their active horizontal position the rods are brought to bear by their ends free on the cross member of the opposite frame and located at the same height as the articulation cross member. These crosspieces 11, 11 ', 11' 'for supporting the rods are shown in FIG. 8 and have a row of housings open upwards 12, 12 ′; Figure 9 shows a view in detail of this accommodation; each has two side walls 12a, 12b and a bottom 12c. a side wall 12a is lower than its neighbor to facilitate engagement and positioning of the terminal sphere 13 arranged at the end of each rod and intended to come to rest in its receiving housing. The wall of the housing 12 facing the rod is largely hollowed out to allow the passage of the rod; at the base of this face a hollow 12d recess in the shape of an arc of a circle serves as a cradle to support the body rod of the rod, while the bottom 12c of the housing forms a cup-shaped cap spherical to receive the terminal sphere 13. A connecting cross 10 'symmetrical to the cross member 10 completes the structure of the lateral frame 4.

    Pour compléter le linéaire de suspension les sommets des montants 3, 3' et 5, 5' reçoivent des béquets 14, 1 5 et 14', 15 aptes à déborder vers l'espace extérieur du séchoir ; ces béquets ou consoles portent des fils de suspension additionnels 17 au nombre de deux sur chaque cadre latéral, ces fils rigides de préférence pouvant être réunis et jumelés par leurs extrémités par des embouts de liaison 17a. Ces fils 17 permettent le positionnnement périphérique de linge de grande dimension tels que draps ou nappes entourant le séchoir. Une console 18 peut être prévue au sommet des montants internes 3' et 5' et pourra recevoir un cintre suspendu portant un vêtement tel que corsage ou chemise.To complete the suspension linear, the tops of the 3, 3 'and 5, 5' uprights receive spoilers 14, 1 5 and 14 ', 15 able to overflow towards the outside space of the dryer; these spoilers or brackets carry two additional suspension wires 17 on each frame lateral, these rigid wires preferably being able to be joined and joined at their ends by connecting end pieces 17a. These wires 17 allow the peripheral positioning of laundry large dimensions such as sheets or tablecloths surrounding the dryer. A console 18 can be provided at the top of the internal uprights 3 'and 5' and can receive a hanging hanger bearing clothing such as a bodice or shirt.

    De façon connue en soi la base des montants comporte une roulette pour faciliter le déplacement de l'ensemble.In a manner known per se, the base of the uprights comprises a roller to facilitate the displacement of the assembly.
