Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen schirmartigen Wäschetrockner, der mit einem zentralen Standrohr versehen ist, bei dem am oberen Endabschnitt ein mehrarmiges, die Wäscheleine tragendes Spreizgestell verankert ist, das rund um das Standrohr herum angeordnet ist und mittels einer Betätigungsvorrichtung aufklappbar ist. Das Spreizgestell umfasst vom Standrohr seitlich wegklappbare, obere Stützarme, mit den unteren Enden der Stützarme gelenkig verbundene, vom Standrohr seitlich wegklappbare, untere Wäscheleinentragarme und eine entlang dem Standrohr verschiebbare, untere Hülse, an der die Wäscheleinentragarme seitlich angelenkt sind. Die Betätigungsvorrichtung umfasst einen an einem Wäscheleinentragarm des Spreizgestells angebrachten Betätigungshebel, der aus einer der unteren Hälfte des Wäscheleinentragarmes benachbarten, unteren Stellung in eine der oberen Hälfte des Wäscheleinentragarmes benachbarte, obere Stellung verschwenkbar ist und an seinem äußeren Endabschnitt mit dem unteren Ende einer Aufzugsleine verbunden ist, die am oberen Endabschnitt des Standrohres oder am oberen Ende des Spreizgestells verankert ist, mit dem Spreizgestell im Bereich von dessen unterem Ende im Eingriff steht und beim Hochschwenken des Betätigungshebels aus dem Spreizgestell seitlich herausgezogen wird, wodurch das Spreizgestell an seinem unteren Ende angehoben und aufgeklappt wird.The invention relates to a screen-type clothes dryer, which is provided with a central standpipe, in which at the upper end portion of a multi-arm, the clothesline supporting Spreader is anchored, which is arranged around the standpipe around and can be opened by means of an actuator. The expansion frame includes laterally wegklappbare from the standpipe, upper support arms, hinged to the lower ends of the support arms, laterally wegklappbare from the stand, lower Wäscheleinentragarme and along the standpipe displaceable lower sleeve to which the Wäscheleinentragarme are hinged laterally. The actuator comprises an actuating lever mounted on a washing line support arm of the spreading frame and pivotable from an upper position adjacent to a lower half of the washing line support arm into an upper position adjacent to the upper half of the washing line support arm and connected at its outer end portion to the lower end of an elevator cord , which is anchored at the upper end portion of the standpipe or at the upper end of the Spreizgestells, with the Spreizgestell in the region of the lower end is engaged and pulled out when pivoting the operating lever from the Spreizgestell laterally, whereby the Spreizgestell raised and unfolded at its lower end becomes.

Ein solcher Wäschetrockner ist z. B. aus der AT-PS 502 115 bekannt. Bei solchen Wäschetrocknern wird zumeist für die Dauer der Nichtbenutzung des Wäschetrockners das Spreizgestell mit Hilfe des Betätigungshebels zusammengeklappt und erst vor dem weiteren Gebrauch des Wäschetrockners mit Hilfe des Betätigungshebels wieder auseinandergeklappt. Beim Aufklappen bzw. Auseinanderklappen des Spreizgestells werden die Wäscheleinentragarme vom Standrohr weggeschwenkt und die zwischen den Wäscheleinentragarmen angeordnete Wäscheleine wird horizontal ausgebreitet und am Ende des Aufklappens gespannt. Das aufgeklappte Spreizgestell wird in seinem aufgeklappten Zustand mit Hilfe des Betätigungshebels fixiert, der in seiner oberen Stellung am Wäscheleinentragarm fixiert wird.Such a dryer is z. B. from the AT-PS 502 115 known. In such clothes dryers, the spreader frame is usually folded for the duration of non-use of the dryer with the help of the operating lever and unfolded only before the further use of the dryer with the help of the operating lever again. When unfolding or unfolding the Spreizgestells the Wäscheleinentragarme are pivoted away from the standpipe and arranged between the Wäscheleinentragarmen clothesline is spread horizontally and stretched at the end of the unfolding. The unfolded expansion frame is fixed in its unfolded state by means of the actuating lever, which is fixed in its upper position on Wäscheleinentragarm.

Bei zusammengeklappten Spreizgestell sind die Stützarme und die Wäscheleinentragarme zum Standrohr geklappt und der an einem Wäscheleinentragarm angelenkte Betätigungshebel befindet sich in seiner unteren Stellung. Zum Aufklappen des Spreizgestells wird der Betätigungshebel von Hand aus in seine obere Stellung verschwenkt. Dabei wird die Aufzugsleine aus dem Spreizgestell seitlich herausgezogen und das Spreizgestell an seinem unteren Ende angehoben. Dies erfordert vom Benutzer einigen Kraftaufwand.When folded spreading the support arms and Wäscheleinentragarme are folded to the standpipe and hinged to a Wäscheleinentragarm operating lever is in its lower position. To open the Spreizgestells the operating lever is pivoted by hand in its upper position. In this case, the elevator line is pulled laterally out of the spreader and raised the spreader at its lower end. This requires some effort from the user.

Um die Handhabung des schirmartigen Wäschetrockners zu erleichtern, schlägt die Erfindung vor, dass an dem den Betätigungshebel tragenden Wäscheleinentragarm eine das Hochschwenken des Betätigungshebels unterstützende Zugvorrichtung vorgesehen ist, die ein mit dem Betätigungshebel gekoppeltes, sich von der Oberseite des Betätigungshebel wegerstreckendes Zugseil und eine das Zugseil betätigende, am Wäscheleinentragarm verankerte Gasfeder umfasst.In order to facilitate the handling of the umbrella-type tumble dryer, the invention proposes that on the actuating lever carrying Wäscheleinentragarm the pivoting of the actuating lever supportive traction device is provided, which is coupled to the actuating lever, wegerstreckendes from the top of the actuating lever pull rope and the traction cable actuated, anchored on Wäscheleinentragarm gas spring comprises.
