Description

Gebiet der Erfindung:Field of the invention:

Die Erfindung betrifft einen schirmartigen Wäschetrockner, bei dem auf einem zentralen Standrohr ein auseinanderklappbares und wieder zusammenklappbares, die Wäscheleine tragendes Spreizgestell vorzugsweise verstellbar angeordnet und eine aus dem Standrohr heraus über das zusammengeklappte Spreizgestell und die Wäscheleine überziehbare Schutzhülle vorgesehen ist, die an ihrem im Standrohr verbleibenden, inneren Endabschnitt in das Standrohr wieder zurückziehbar ist.The invention relates to a screen-type clothes dryer, in which on a central standpipe auseinanderklappbares and again collapsible, the clothesline supporting spreader frame preferably arranged adjustable and provided from the standpipe on the folded spreader frame and the clothesline protective cover is provided, remaining at its in the standpipe , Inner end portion in the standpipe is retractable.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Ein solcher Wäschetrockner ist beispielsweise aus der EP 214 123 B bekannt. Die Schutzhülle ist bei auseinandergeklapptem Spreizgestell und aufgespannter Wäscheleine in das Standrohr zurückgezogen. Wenn der Wäschetrockner längere Zeit nicht benützt werden soll, wird sein Spreizgestell zusammengeklappt und die Schutzhülle von oben über das zusammengeklappte Spreizgestell samt Wäscheleine übergezogen und mit ihrem äußeren Endabschnitt am Standrohr unterhalb der entlang diesem nach unten gefahrenen unteren Schiebehülse des Spreizgestelles befestigt. Bei aufgespanntem Wäschetrockner können Schmutz oder Regenwasser an der Oberseite des Standrohres ins Innere der in dieses zurückgezogenen Schutzhülle gelangen. Das Regenwasser kann an der Schutzhülle entlang in Standrohr nach unten rinnen und an dessen unterem Ende aus diesem austreten. Zumeist ist der Wäschetrockner im Freien aufgestellt und mit seinem Standrohr im Boden verankert, sodass das Regenwasser im Boden versickern kann. Bei über das zusammengeklappte Spreizgestell übergezogener und unterhalb dem Spreizgestell am Standrohr befestigter Schutzhülle befindet sich das mit dem inneren Endabschnitt der Schutzhülle verbundene Gewichtstück, das die feigegebene Schutzhülle nach unten in das Standrohr zurückzieht, in seiner nahe dem oberen Ende des Standrohres gelegenen, obersten Stellung und verhindert den Eintritt von größeren Regenwassermengen in das Standrohr.Such a tumble dryer is for example from the EP 214 123 B known. The protective cover is withdrawn in the standpipe with unfolded expansion frame and clamped clothesline. If the tumble dryer is not to be used for a long time, its expansion frame is folded and the protective cover pulled over the folded spreader frame including clothesline from above and secured with its outer end portion on the standpipe below the downwardly driven along this lower sliding sleeve Spreizgestelles. When the tumble dryer is open, dirt or rainwater can reach the inside of the protective cover pulled back into the top of the standpipe. The rainwater can run along the protective cover down in standpipe down and emerge at the lower end of this. In most cases, the tumble dryer is set up outdoors and anchored in the ground with its standpipe so that the rainwater can seep into the ground. In over the folded spreader frame and underneath the spreader frame attached to the standpipe is the weight associated with the inner end portion of the protective cover, which withdraws the cowardly protective cover down into the standpipe, located in its near the upper end of the standpipe, uppermost position and prevents the entry of larger amounts of rainwater into the standpipe.

Bei dem bekannten Wäschetrockner ist am Aufstellungsort bei der für die Verankerung seines Standrohres im Boden erforderlichen Bodenhülse dafür zu sorgen, dass in das Standrohr eindringendes Regenwasser im Bereich der Bodenhülse im Boden versickern kann.In the case of the known tumble dryer, it is necessary to ensure at the place of installation at the ground socket required for the anchoring of its standpipe in the ground, that rainwater entering the standpipe can seep into the ground in the area of the ground socket.

Zusammenfassung der Erfindung:Summary of the invention:

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen verbesserten schirmartigen Wäschetrockner der eingangs genannten Art anzugeben.The object of the invention is to provide an improved umbrella-type clothes dryer of the type mentioned.

Dies wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch erreicht, dass die Schutzhülle an ihrem äußeren Endabschnitt eine, bei in das Standrohr zurückgezogener Schutzhülle, die Oberseite des Standrohres übergreifende Abdeckung trägt.This is inventively achieved in that the protective cover carries at its outer end portion a, retracted in the standpipe protective cover, the top of the standpipe cross-cover.

Mit der mit der Schutzhülle mitbewegbaren Abdeckung, die sich bei in das Standrohr zurückgezogener Schutzhülle über das obere Ende des Standrohres legt, wird verhindert, dass bei aufgespanntem Wäschetrockner Schmutz und Regenwasser ins Innere des Standrohres oder der dorthin zurückgezogenen Schutzhülle gelangen können und später, wenn die Schutzhülle über das zusammengeklappte Spreizgestell übergezogen wird, an der Außenseite der den zusammengeklappten Wäschetrockner umgebenden Schutzhülle herunter rinnen können. Ein weiterer Vorteil dieser Ausbildung besteht darin, dass am Aufstellungsort des Wäschetrockners bei der für die Verankerung seines Standrohres erforderlichen Bodenhülse bei deren Herstellung bzw. Einbringung in den Boden keine baulichen Vorkehrungen für das Versickern des Regenwassers im Boden getroffen werden müssen.Mitbewegbaren with the protective cover, which lays in retracted into the standpipe cover over the upper end of the standpipe, prevents dirt and rainwater can reach inside the standpipe or retracted there protective cover with spanned dryer and later, if the Protective cover is pulled over the folded spreader, can run down on the outside of the protective bag surrounding the folded tumble dryer. Another advantage of this design is that no structural precautions have to be taken for the infiltration of rainwater in the ground at the site of the tumble dryer when required for the anchoring of its standpipe ground sleeve during their production or introduction into the ground.

Erfindungsgemäß kann eine mit dem äußeren Endabschnitt der Schutzhülle verbundene Abdeckklappe als Abdeckung vorgesehen sein.According to the invention, a cover flap connected to the outer end portion of the protective cover may be provided as a cover.

Die Abdeckklappe ist am äußeren Endabschnitt der Schutzhülle an der Außenseite der Schutzhülle seitlich angebracht. Sie steht dort nach oben ab und wird am oberen Ende des Standrohres, wo die Schutzhülle um 180 ° ins Innere des Standrohres umgelenkt wird, von der unter ihr ins Standrohr eingezogenen Schutzhülle über das obere Ende des Standrohres geschoben. Bei in das Standrohr vollständig zurückgezogener Schutzhülle übergreift die Abdeckklappe das obere Standrohrende und deckt dessen Öffnung nach oben ab.The cover flap is laterally attached to the outer end portion of the protective cover on the outside of the protective cover. She stands there from above and is pushed at the upper end of the standpipe, where the protective cover is deflected by 180 ° into the interior of the standpipe, drawn from under her protective tube in the standpipe over the upper end of the standpipe. When fully retracted into the standpipe protective cover over the cover flap engages the upper standpipe end and covers the opening from above.

Die mit der Schutzhülle mitbewegbaren Abdeckung kann auch aus zwei, an gegenüberliegenden Stellen des äußeren Endabschnittes der Schutzhülle seitlich angebrachten Klappen bestehen, die am oberen Ende des Standrohres von der unter ihnen ins Standrohr eingezogenen Schutzhülle von gegenüberliegenden Seiten über das obere Ende des Standrohres geschoben werden. Dabei können die beiden Klappen mit ihren Stirnkanten aneinander stoßen und dadurch das Einziehen der Schutzhülle in das Standrohr beenden. Die beiden Klappen können einander gegenseitig zugeordnete Anschläge besitzen, mit denen sie aufeinander treffen während sie von der unter ihnen ins Standrohr eingezogenen Schutzhülle von gegenüberliegenden Seiten über das obere Ende des Standrohres geschoben werden. Durch das Aufeinandertreffen der Anschläge der beiden Klappen wird das Einziehen der Schutzhülle in das Standrohr beendet, während die sich die stirnseitigen Endabschnitte der beiden Klappen überlappen.Mitbewegbaren with the protective cover can also consist of two, at opposite locations of the outer end portion of the protective cover laterally mounted flaps, which at the upper end of the standpipe of the under they are pulled into the standpipe protective cover pushed from opposite sides over the upper end of the standpipe. In this case, the two flaps can abut each other with their end edges and thereby terminate the pulling of the protective cover in the standpipe. The two flaps may have mutually associated stops, with which they meet each other while they are pushed by the under them retracted into the standpipe protective cover from opposite sides over the upper end of the standpipe. By the meeting of the stops of the two flaps, the retraction of the protective cover is terminated in the standpipe, while overlapping the front end portions of the two flaps.

Gemäß einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung kann eine zumindest zweiteilige Abdeckung mit dem äußeren Endabschnitt der Schutzhülle verbunden sein, deren Abdeckteile um den äußeren Endabschnitt der Schutzhülle herum verteilt angeordnet sind und bei in das Standrohr zurückgezogener Schutzhülle die obere Öffnung des Standrohres gemeinsam abdecken.According to a further feature of the invention, an at least two-part cover may be connected to the outer end portion of the protective cover, the cover parts are distributed around the outer end portion of the protective cover around and cover the upper opening of the standpipe together with withdrawn in the standpipe cover.

Am äußeren Endabschnitt der Schutzhülle können Stofftaschen angebracht sein, in denen steife, blattförmige, aus den Stofftaschen vorstehende Abdeckteile aufgenommen sind, die von der zurück in das Standrohr eingezogenen Schutzhülle über die obere Öffnung des Standrohres seitlich vorgeschoben werden und die vollständig abdecken, wenn die Schutzhülle vollständig in das Standrohr zurückgezogen worden ist.At the outer end portion of the protective cover fabric bags may be appropriate, in which stiff, sheet-shaped, protruding from the fabric pockets cover parts are added, which are pushed laterally from the retracted into the standpipe cover over the upper opening of the standpipe and completely cover when the protective cover has been completely withdrawn into the standpipe.

Erfindungsgemäß können die bei in das Standrohr zurückgezogener Schutzhülle die Oberseite des Standrohres gemeinsam abdeckenden Abdeckteile einander gegenseitig zumindest teilweise überlappen. Diese Ausbildung erlaubt größere Toleranzen sowohl bei der Herstellung dieser Abdeckteile als auch bei deren Befestigung an der Schutzhülle.According to the invention, when the protective cover is pulled back into the standpipe, the cover parts covering the upper side of the standpipe mutually overlap one another at least partially. This design allows greater tolerances both in the production of these cover parts as well as their attachment to the protective cover.

Nachstehend wird die Erfindung an Ausführungsbeispielen anhand der Zeichnungen näher erläutert.The invention of exemplary embodiments will be explained in more detail with reference to the drawings.
