Description

Domaine technique de l'invention.Technical Field of the Invention

L'invention a pour objet un étendoir ambulant pour le séchage du linge.The invention relates to a mobile drying rack for drying clothes.

Elle concerne le domaine technique des équipements ménagers utilisés pour le séchage du linge, notamment en intérieur.It concerns the technical field of household equipment used for drying clothes, especially indoors.

État de la technique.State of the art

Les étendoirs ambulants pour le séchage du linge sont bien connus de l'art antérieur. Ils sont généralement constitués d'une ossature pliante sur laquelle sont montées une ou plusieurs grilles d'étendage articulées. Ils peuvent ainsi être pliés quasiment à plat et être rangés avec un encombrement réduit lorsqu'ils ne sont pas utilisés. Toutefois, le linge sèche difficilement lorsque l'étendoir n'est pas installé dans une pièce suffisamment chauffée et/ou trop humide. En outre, ce type d'étendoir est exclusivement utilisé pour faire sécher du linge, devenant parfaitement inutile à défaut.Hanging clothes drying racks are well known in the prior art. They generally consist of a folding frame on which are mounted one or more hinged spreading grids. They can be folded almost flat and stored with a small footprint when not in use. However, the laundry dries with difficulty when the clothes rack is not installed in a sufficiently heated room and / or too wet. In addition, this type of clotheshorse is exclusively used to dry clothes, becoming perfectly useless in the absence.

On connait par le document brevet EP 1.895.042 (SINCERE INTERNATIONAL TRADING) un étendoir chauffant. On connait plus particulièrement par le document brevet WO 2008/039086 (HEATED CLOTHES RACK COMPANY), un étendoir chauffant du type décrit dans le préambule de la revendication principale. La structure articulée de cet étendoir, lorsque le piètement est en position active, est fixe. La configuration de l'étendoir est donc limitée ce qui peut avoir des conséquences sur les performances de séchage.We know by the patent document EP 1.895.042 (SINCERE INTERNATIONAL TRADING) a heated clothes rack. We know more particularly by the patent document WO 2008/039086 (HEATED CLOTHES RACK COMPANY), a heating clothes rack of the type described in the preamble of the main claim. The articulated structure of this clothes rack, when the leg is in active position, is fixed. The configuration of the drying rack is therefore limited which can have consequences on the drying performance.

L'invention vise à remédier à cet état des choses. En particulier, un objectif de l'invention est de proposer un étendoir chauffant capable d'avoir de multiples configurations.The invention aims to remedy this state of affairs. In particular, an object of the invention is to provide a heating clothes rack capable of having multiple configurations.

Un autre objectif de l'invention est d'augmenter les performances de séchage d'un étendoir ambulant du type décrit dans WO 2008/039086 .Another object of the invention is to increase the drying performance of a mobile drying rack of the type described in WO 2008/039086 .

Un objectif supplémentaire de l'invention est de proposer un étendoir dont la conception est robuste mais simple, et dont l'utilisation est aisée.A further object of the invention is to provide a drying rack whose design is robust but simple, and whose use is easy.

Encore un autre objectif de l'invention est de proposer un étendoir qui soit fonctionnellement utile, même lorsqu'aucune sorte de linge n'est étendue dessus.Yet another object of the invention is to provide a clothes rack that is functionally useful, even when no kind of laundry is laid on it.

Divulgation de l'invention.Disclosure of the invention.

La solution proposée par l'invention est un étendoir ambulant pour le séchage du linge comprenant :

  • une ossature qui, en usage, est formée de montants verticaux, ou inclinés de 1° à 45° par rapport à la verticale, et entre lesquels sont interposés plusieurs barreaux horizontaux formant porte-linge,
  • des cordons électriques chauffants intégrés dans les barreaux,
  • un dispositif de réglage de la température relié aux cordons électriques chauffants, lequel dispositif est fixé sur l'ossature,
  • un câble d'alimentation électrique connecté au dispositif de réglage de la température, lequel câble est pourvu d'une fiche secteur destinée à se brancher de manière amovible sur une prise de courant,
  • un piètement relié de manière pivotante à l'ossature, lequel piètement est mobile entre une position passive où il est escamoté derrière l'ossature et une position active où il est écarté de ladite ossature de manière à former avec les montants un chevalet servant d'appui au sol à l'étendoir,
  • le piètement est formé de deux pieds parallèles entre lesquels sont interposés des éléments d'étendage lesquels pieds sont fixés aux montants au moyen d'articulations assurant la mobilité desdits pieds entre la position passive et la position active.
The solution proposed by the invention is a traveling drying rack for drying laundry comprising:
  • a frame which, in use, is formed of uprights, or inclined from 1 ° to 45 ° with respect to the vertical, and between which are interposed several horizontal bars forming a clothes rack,
  • electric heating cables integrated into the bars,
  • a device for adjusting the temperature connected to the electric heating cables, which device is fixed on the frame,
  • a power supply cable connected to the temperature control device, which cable is provided with a mains plug for detachably connected to a power outlet,
  • a base pivotally connected to the framework, which base is movable between a passive position where it is retracted behind the frame and an active position where it is spaced from said frame so as to form with the amounts an easel serving as floor support at the clothes rack,
  • the base is formed of two parallel feet between which are interposed spreading elements which feet are attached to the uprights by means of joints ensuring the mobility of said feet between the passive position and the active position.

Cet étendoir est remarquable en ce que les articulations sont montées glissantes le long des montants, des moyens de blocage permettant de bloquer en position lesdites articulations sur lesdits montants.This clothes rack is remarkable in that the joints are slidably mounted along the uprights, locking means for locking in position said hinges on said uprights.

Cet étendoir est donc pourvu de barreaux chauffants, permettant ainsi de le transformer en un sèche-serviette électrique particulièrement efficace. De plus, lorsque cet étendoir est dépourvu de linge à sécher, il fonctionne comme un parfait radiateur d'appoint ambulant. En outre, sa conception très simple le rend particulièrement bon marché et peu encombrant lorsque le piètement est en position passive. Dans cette position passive, cet étendoir peut également être employé comme radiateur électrique mural (avec ou sans fonction sèche-serviette), en étant fixé sur une paroi support telle qu'un mur. L'étendoir objet de l'invention est donc multifonctions, et peut être utilisé à de nombreuses fins. Enfin, lorsque le piètement est en position active, définissant un angle déterminé par rapport aux montants, l'utilisateur a une possibilité supplémentaire de régler l'inclinaison desdits montants par rapport à la verticale en réglant la position longitudinale des articulations.This drying rack is equipped with heating bars, making it possible to transform it into a particularly efficient electric towel warmer. In addition, when this clothes rack does not have laundry to dry, it works as a perfect mobile auxiliary radiator. In addition, its very simple design makes it particularly inexpensive and compact when the base is in passive position. In this passive position, this clothes rack can also be used as a wall-mounted electric radiator (with or without a towel-drying function), being fixed on a support wall such as a wall. The drying rack object of the invention is multifunctional, and can be used for many purposes. Finally, when the base is in the active position, defining a given angle relative to the uprights, the user has an additional possibility to adjust the inclination of said uprights relative to the vertical by adjusting the longitudinal position of the joints.

D'autres caractéristiques avantageuses de l'étendoir sont listées ci-dessous. Chacune de ces caractéristiques peut être considérée seule ou en combinaison avec les caractéristiques remarquables définies ci-dessus, et faire l'objet, le cas échéant d'une ou plusieurs demandes de brevets divisionnaires :

  • Le piètement peut être formé de deux pieds parallèles entre lesquels sont interposés des éléments d'étendage, lesquels pieds sont fixés à l'un des barreaux au moyen d'articulations assurant la mobilité desdits pieds entre la position passive et la position active. Dans ce cas, les articulations sont préférentiellement démontables de manière à pouvoir fixer le piètement sur n'importe quel barreau.
  • Une entretoise de liaison, éventuellement pourvue d'éléments d'étendage, est avantageusement insérée entre le piètement et l'un des montants - ou l'un des barreaux - afin de maintenir l'écartement dudit piètement lorsqu'il est en position active.
  • Une tablette est préférentiellement reliée de manière pivotante à l'ossature, entre une position rabattue où elle est escamotée derrière ladite ossature, et une position active où elle est perpendiculaire, ou sensiblement perpendiculaire, aux montants de ladite ossature. Cette tablette peut se présenter sous la forme d'un U, des éléments d'étendage étant interposés entre les branches latérales dudit U, les extrémités desdites branches étant fixées aux extrémités supérieures des montants au moyen d'articulations assurant la mobilité de ladite tablette entre la position rabattue et la position active.
  • Le dispositif de réglage de la température intègre préférentiellement un thermostat. Dans ce cas, un capteur de température est avantageusement connecté au thermostat pour permettre une régulation de la température ambiante d'une pièce d'habitation, lorsque l'étendoir est installé dans ladite pièce et que la fiche secteur est branchée sur une prise de courant, lequel capteur est préférentiellement intégré au niveau de l'extrémité inférieure d'un des montants.
  • L'ossature peut comprendre des moyens de fixation dudit étendoir sur une paroi support, lesquels moyens de fixation sont configurés de manière à ce que l'étendoir soit accroché de manière démontable sur la paroi support.

Sur les figures annexées, l'étendoir 1 comprend une ossature qui, en usage, est formée de deux montants 2 verticaux entre lesquels sont interposés plusieurs barreaux horizontaux 3 formant porte-linge. Selon la largeur de l'étendoir 1, un ou plusieurs autres montants 2 peuvent être envisagés.In the appended figures, the drying rack 1 comprises a frame which, in use, is formed of two vertical uprights 2 between which are interposed a plurality of horizontal bars 3 forming a clothes rack. Depending on the width of the drying rack 1, one or more other uprights 2 may be envisaged.

Les montants 2 sont préférentiellement réalisés en aluminium et recouverts de peinture ou de vernis. Ils peuvent toutefois être réalisés dans un autre matériau métallique tel qu'acier ou fonte, ou dans un matériau non métallique du type polymère ou composite. Leur longueur est par exemple comprise entre 1 m et 2 m. Ils sont espacés d'une distance comprise entre 40 cm à 1 m, laquelle distance correspond à la largeur de l'étendoir 1. Chaque montant 2 se présente sous la forme d'un profilé de section carrée (par ex : 4 cm x 4 cm). Sa section peut toutefois être circulaire, rectangulaire, ovale, polygonale, etc. Les montants 2 peuvent être obtenus par pliage, moulage, extrusion, etc.The amounts 2 are preferably made of aluminum and covered with paint or varnish. They may, however, be made of another metallic material such as steel or cast iron, or of a non-metallic material of the polymer or composite type. Their length is for example between 1 m and 2 m. They are spaced from a distance of between 40 cm and 1 m, which distance corresponds to the width of the clothes rack 1. Each upright 2 is in the form of a section of square section (eg 4 cm x 4 cm). cm). Its section can however be circular, rectangular, oval, polygonal, etc. The uprights 2 can be obtained by folding, molding, extrusion, etc.

Dans le mode de réalisation représenté sur les figures 1 à 7, l'étendoir 1 comprend quatre séries de quatre barreaux 3. Un nombre supérieur ou inférieur de séries et/ou de barreau peut bien évidemment être envisagé. En pratique, les barreaux 3 se présentent sous la forme de tubes cylindriques, dont le diamètre est par exemple compris entre 1 cm et 5 cm. Leur longueur correspond à la distance séparant les montants 2 entre lesquels ils sont interposés. Leur section peut toutefois être carrée, rectangulaire, ovale, polygonale, etc. Chaque barreau 3 est préférentiellement réalisé dans un matériau conducteur de chaleur, typiquement en acier, en fonte ou en aluminium. Ils sont obtenus par moulage, ou extrusion et sont fixés aux montants 2 par soudage ou emboîtage. Ils peuvent être recouverts de peinture ou de vernis.In the embodiment shown on the Figures 1 to 7 , the drying rack 1 comprises four sets of four bars 3. A higher or lower number of series and / or bar can obviously be considered. In practice, the bars 3 are in the form of cylindrical tubes, the diameter of which is for example between 1 cm and 5 cm. Their length corresponds to the distance separating the uprights 2 between which they are interposed. Their section can however be square, rectangular, oval, polygonal, etc. Each bar 3 is preferably made of a heat conducting material, typically steel, cast iron or aluminum. They are obtained by molding, or extrusion and are attached to the uprights 2 by welding or casing. They can be covered with paint or varnish.

Les barreaux 3 intègrent des cordons électriques chauffants. Ces derniers sont isolés électriquement pour éviter tout risque d'électrocution. Ces cordons chauffants sont préférentiellement formés par une résistance électrique entourée d'une double gaine souple à base de silicone. Leur longueur correspond sensiblement à celle des barreaux 3. Par « sensiblement », on entend que la longueur des cordons est égale ou légèrement inférieure, par exemple de quelques millimètres ou quelques centimètres, à celle des barreaux 3. Leur diamètre externe est inférieur au diamètre interne des barreaux 2. Pour un chauffage optimal, les cordons peuvent être logés à l'intérieur d'un dissipateur thermique comme cela est expliqué dans le document brevet WO2013/107973 (TEXAS DE FRANCE) et auquel l'homme du métier peut se référer.The bars 3 incorporate heating electric cords. These are electrically isolated to avoid any risk of electrocution. These heating cords are preferably formed by an electrical resistor surrounded by a double silicone-based flexible sheath. Their length corresponds substantially to that of the bars 3. By "substantially" is meant that the length of the cords is equal to or slightly less, for example a few millimeters or a few centimeters, than that of the bars 3. Their outer diameter is less than the diameter 2. For optimum heating, cords can be housed inside a heat sink thermal as explained in the patent document WO2013 / 107973 (TEXAS DE FRANCE) and to which the person skilled in the art can refer.

Au moins une extrémité des cordons se termine par un câble électrique isolé électriquement, qui permet leur raccordement à un dispositif de réglage de la température 4. Ce dispositif 4 est fixé sur l'ossature. Sur les figures annexées, il se présente sous la forme d'un boîtier fixé sur l'un des montants 2 au moyen d'éléments de vissage classiques. Le dispositif 4 intègre avantageusement un thermostat permettant de maintenir une température souhaitée. L'étendoir 1 peut ainsi servir de radiateur d'appoint, même lorsqu'aucun linge n'est étendu dessus.At least one end of the cords terminates with an electrically insulated electrical cable, which allows their connection to a temperature control device 4. This device 4 is fixed on the frame. In the accompanying figures, it is in the form of a housing fixed on one of the uprights 2 by means of conventional screw elements. The device 4 advantageously includes a thermostat for maintaining a desired temperature. The clothes rack 1 can thus serve as an auxiliary radiator, even when no linen is laid on it.

Un bouton de commande spécifique 40 accessible sur le devant du boîtier 4 (c'est-à-dire depuis la face avant de l'étendoir 1), et relié au thermostat, permet de régler la température des barreaux 3 et/ou la température ambiante souhaitée lorsque l'étendoir 1 est utilisé comme radiateur. A cet effet, un capteur de température (non représenté) est connecté au thermostat pour permettre une régulation de la température ambiante d'une pièce d'habitation lorsque l'étendoir 1 est utilisé comme radiateur. L'étendoir 1 peut ainsi efficacement chauffer et réguler la température amiante d'une pièce d'habitation. Les meilleurs résultats en termes de régulation de température sont obtenus lorsque le capteur de température est intégré au niveau de l'extrémité inférieure d'un des montants 2. Le dispositif 4 peut également être pourvu d'un bouton-poussoir de mise en et hors tension, d'un bouton 41 de réglage de temporisation, ainsi que d'une ou plusieurs sécurités de surchauffe ou de limitation de température.A specific control button 40 accessible on the front of the housing 4 (that is to say from the front of the clothes rack 1), and connected to the thermostat, makes it possible to adjust the temperature of the bars 3 and / or the temperature desired room when the drying rack 1 is used as a radiator. For this purpose, a temperature sensor (not shown) is connected to the thermostat to allow regulation of the ambient temperature of a living room when the clothes rack 1 is used as a radiator. The drying rack 1 can thus effectively heat and regulate the asbestos temperature of a living room. The best results in terms of temperature control are obtained when the temperature sensor is integrated at the lower end of one of the uprights 2. The device 4 can also be provided with a push button for switching on and off. voltage, a timer setting button 41, as well as one or more safety overheating or temperature limitation.

Comme cela apparait sur les figures 2 et 3, un câble d'alimentation électrique 42 est connecté au boîtier 4 de réglage de la température. Ce câble 42, dont la longueur est par exemple comprise entre 50 cm et 3 m, est pourvu d'une fiche secteur 420 destinée à se brancher de manière amovible sur une prise de courant. L'utilisateur peut donc faire fonctionner l'étendoir 1 en le branchant sur n'importe quelle prise de son choix. Sur les figures annexées, le câble 42 est connecté au boîtier 4 en passant à l'intérieur d'un des montants 2 et en ressortant au niveau de l'extrémité inférieure de ce montant.As it appears on the figures 2 and 3 , a power supply cable 42 is connected to the temperature control box 4. This cable 42, whose length is for example between 50 cm and 3 m, is provided with a mains plug 420 for detachably connected to a power outlet. The user can therefore operate the clothes rack 1 by connecting it to any outlet of his choice. In the accompanying figures, the cable 42 is connected to the housing 4 by passing inside one of the uprights 2 and emerging at the lower end of this amount.

Un piètement 5 est relié de manière pivotante à l'ossature de l'étendoir 1. Ce piètement 5 est monté mobile entre une position passive où il est escamoté derrière l'ossature (figures 4 à 7) et une position active où il est écarté de ladite ossature (figures 1 à 3).A base 5 is pivotally connected to the frame of the clothes rack 1. This base 5 is mounted to move between a passive position where it is retracted behind the frame ( Figures 4 to 7 ) and an active position where it is separated from said framework ( Figures 1 to 3 ).

Dans la position passive, le piètement 5 est accolé à la face arrière des montants 2 : il est situé dans le même plan ou dans un plan accolé auxdits montants.In the passive position, the base 5 is attached to the rear face of the uprights 2: it is located in the same plane or in a plane attached to said amounts.

Dans la position active, le piètement 5 forme avec les montants 2, un chevalet servant d'appui au sol à l'étendoir 1. En d'autres termes, le piètement 5 et les montants 2 forment une structure en compas. Lorsque l'étendoir 1 est utilisé dans l'une de ses fonctionnalités, et lorsqu'il est posé au sol avec le piètement 5 en position active, les montants 2 sont inclinés de 1° à 45° par rapport à la verticale.In the active position, the base 5 forms with the uprights 2, an easel serving as a floor support to the clothes rack 1. In other words, the base 5 and the uprights 2 form a compass structure. When the clothes rack 1 is used in one of its features, and when it is placed on the ground with the base 5 in the active position, the uprights 2 are inclined by 1 ° to 45 ° relative to the vertical.

En se rapportant à la figure 2, le piètement 5 est formé de deux pieds parallèles 50 entre lesquels sont interposés des éléments d'étendage 51.By referring to the figure 2 , the base 5 is formed of two parallel feet 50 between which are interposed spreading elements 51.

Les pieds 50 se présentent chacun sous la forme de profilé réalisé en acier, en plastique ou composite, éventuellement recouverts de peinture ou de vernis, et dont la section est carrée, circulaire, rectangulaire (par ex : 0,5 cm x 2 cm), ovale, polygonale, etc. Leur longueur est par exemple comprise entre 50 cm et 1,5 m. Cette longueur et telle que l'extrémité inférieure 501 des pieds 50 ne dépassent pas l'extrémité inférieure des montants 2 lorsque le piètement est en position passive (figures 5 à 7). Sur les figures annexées, les pieds 50 sont espacés d'une distance correspondant sensiblement à l'espacement des deux montants 2. Ils peuvent toutefois être espacés d'une distance moindre dans le cas où ils sont articulés sur l'un des barreaux 3. Les pieds 50 peuvent avoir leur extrémité inférieure 501 biseautée ou montée sur rotule, de manière à optimiser leur appui au sol.The feet 50 are each in the form of a profile made of steel, plastic or composite, optionally covered with paint or varnish, and whose section is square, circular, rectangular (eg: 0.5 cm x 2 cm) , oval, polygonal, etc. Their length is for example between 50 cm and 1.5 m. This length and such that the lower end 501 of the feet 50 do not exceed the lower end of the uprights 2 when the base is in the passive position ( Figures 5 to 7 ). In the appended figures, the feet 50 are spaced a distance corresponding substantially to the spacing of the two uprights 2. They may however be spaced a lesser distance in the case where they are articulated on one of the bars 3. The feet 50 may have their lower end 501 beveled or mounted on a ball joint, so as to optimize their support on the ground.

Pour simplifier la conception, les éléments d'étendage 51 se présentent sous la forme de tiges en plastique ou en acier gainé de plastique, fixées par emboitage, collage ou soudage sur les pieds 50. Leur diamètre est par exemple compris entre 0,5 cm et 1 cm. Leur longueur correspond à la distance séparant les pieds 50. Leur section est préférentiellement cylindrique, mais on peut prévoir une section carrée, rectangulaire, ovale, polygonale, etc. Sur les figures annexées, le piètement 5 comprend une série de cinq éléments d'étendage 51. Un nombre supérieur ou inférieur de séries et/ou d'éléments d'étendage peut bien évidemment être envisagé.To simplify the design, the spreading elements 51 are in the form of plastic rods or steel sheathed plastic, fixed by fitting, gluing or welding on the feet 50. Their diameter is for example between 0.5 cm and 1 cm. Their length corresponds to the distance separating the feet 50. Their section is preferably cylindrical, but it is possible to provide a square, rectangular, oval, polygonal section, etc. In the accompanying figures, the base 5 comprises a series of five spreading elements 51. A higher or lower number of series and / or spreading elements can of course be considered.

Les pieds 50 sont préférentiellement fixés aux montants 2 au moyen d'articulations 530 assurant la mobilité desdits pieds entre la position passive et la position active. Ces articulations 530 sont montées glissantes le long des montants 2, des moyens de blocage permettant de bloquer en position lesdites articulations sur lesdits montants. Ainsi, lorsque le piètement 5 est en position active, définissant un angle déterminé par rapport aux montants 2, l'utilisateur a une possibilité supplémentaire de régler l'inclinaison desdits montants par rapport à la verticale en réglant la position longitudinale des articulations 530.The feet 50 are preferably attached to the uprights 2 by means of joints 530 ensuring the mobility of said feet between the passive position and the active position. These joints 530 are slidably mounted along the uprights 2, locking means for locking in position said hinges on said uprights. Thus, when the base 5 is in the active position, defining a determined angle relative to the uprights 2, the user has an additional possibility of adjusting the inclination of said uprights relative to the vertical by adjusting the longitudinal position of the joints 530.

Sur la figure 2, les articulations 53 se présentent sous la forme de pièces métallique en U obtenues par pliage, et fixées sur la face arrière des montants 2. L'extrémité supérieure 500 des pieds 50 est insérée entre les branches latérales du U, et maintenue en position au moyen d'une goupille 530 formant axe de rotation horizontale. Chaque articulation en U 530 est montée mobile en translation dans un rail 531 réalisé dans le montant 2 auquel elle est associée. Pour simplifier la conception, ce rail 531 se présente sous la forme d'une fente longitudinale située sur la face arrière du montant 2 et obtenue lors du pliage de ce dernier. La base de l'articulation en U 53 présente un élément chariot (non représenté) monté coulissant dans le rail 531. Ce dernier, ainsi que l'élément chariot, peut comporter des crans permettant de bloquer en position les articulations 530 sur les montants 2. On peut également envisager de bloquer le coulissement des articulations 530 par goupillage. En réglant la position des articulations 530 le long des montants 2, l'utilisateur peut ajuster l'inclinaison des montants 2.On the figure 2 the hinges 53 are in the form of U-shaped metal parts obtained by folding, and fixed on the rear face of the uprights 2. The upper end 500 of the feet 50 is inserted between the lateral branches of the U, and held in position at the by means of a pin 530 forming a horizontal axis of rotation. Each U-shaped articulation 530 is mounted to move in translation in a rail 531 made in the upright 2 with which it is associated. To simplify the design, this rail 531 is in the form of a longitudinal slot located on the rear face of the upright 2 and obtained during the folding of this last. The base of the U-shaped hinge 53 has a carriage element (not shown) slidably mounted in the rail 531. The latter, as well as the carriage element, may comprise notches for locking in position the hinges 530 on the uprights 2 One can also consider blocking the sliding joints 530 by pinning. By adjusting the position of the joints 530 along the uprights 2, the user can adjust the inclination of the uprights 2.

En position active, il est avantageux de pouvoir bloquer - ou maintenir - l'écartement du piètement 5 par rapport aux montants 2 afin de stabiliser efficacement l'étendoir 1. Pour ce faire, une entretoise de liaison 6 est insérée entre le piètement 5 et l'un des montants 2 - ou l'un des barreaux 3. Sur les figures 2 et 3, les montants 2, le piètement 5 et l'entretoise 60 sont agencés de manière à former une structure en A, ladite entretoise étant située dans un plan horizontal ou sensiblement horizontal.In the active position, it is advantageous to be able to block - or maintain - the spacing of the base 5 relative to the uprights 2 in order to effectively stabilize the clothes rack 1. To do this, a connecting strut 6 is inserted between the base 5 and one of the amounts 2 - or one of the bars 3. On the figures 2 and 3 , the uprights 2, the base 5 and the spacer 60 are arranged to form an A-shaped structure, said spacer being located in a horizontal or substantially horizontal plane.

En se rapportant aux figures 2 et 3, l'entretoise 6 est formée de deux barres parallèles 60 entre lesquelles sont préférentiellement, mais non nécessairement, interposés des éléments d'étendage 61. Les barres 60 et les éléments d'étendage 61 sont similaires aux éléments 51 décrits précédemment. Les éléments 61 sont par exemple fixés par soudage sur les barres 60.By referring to figures 2 and 3 , the spacer 6 is formed of two parallel bars 60 between which are preferably, but not necessarily, interposed spreading elements 61. The bars 60 and the spreading elements 61 are similar to the elements 51 described above. The elements 61 are for example fixed by welding on the bars 60.

Les barres 60 sont montées mobiles en rotation sur l'un des éléments d'étendage 51 du piètement 5. Pour ce faire, l'extrémité correspondante des barres 60 est conformée en boucle autour de l'élément d'étendage 51. L'autre extrémité est conformée en crochet de manière à ce que l'entretoise 6 puisse se crocheter de manière démontable sur un barreau 3. On peut bien évidemment envisager une configuration inverse où les barres 60 sont montées mobiles en rotation sur l'un des barreaux 3 et se crochètent sur les éléments d'étendage 51.The bars 60 are rotatably mounted on one of the spreading elements 51 of the base 5. To do this, the corresponding end of the bars 60 is looped around the spreading element 51. The other end is shaped hook so that the spacer 6 can hook detachably on a bar 3. Of course we can consider an opposite configuration where the bars 60 are rotatably mounted on one of the bars 3 and hook on the spreading elements 51.

Lorsque le piètement 5 est en position escamotée, et comme cela apparait clairement sur la figure 5, l'entretoise 6 est accolée à la face arrière des montants 2, dissimulée dans l'épaisseur des pieds 50. Et lorsque le piètement 5 est en position active, il suffit à l'utilisateur de faire pivoter l'entretoise 6 autour de l'élément d'étendage 51 (ou du barreau 3) et de la crocheter sur l'un des barreaux 3 (ou des éléments d'étendage 51).When the base 5 is in the retracted position, and as it appears clearly on the figure 5 , the spacer 6 is contiguous to the rear face of the uprights 2, concealed in the thickness of the feet 50. And when the base 5 is in the active position, it is sufficient for the user to rotate the spacer 6 around the door. spreading member 51 (or bar 3) and the hook on one of the bars 3 (or spreading elements 51).

Comme cela apparait sur les figures annexées, une tablette 7 est avantageusement reliée de manière pivotante à l'ossature de l'étendoir 1, entre une position rabattue où elle est escamotée derrière ladite ossature (figures 4 à 6), et une position active où elle est perpendiculaire, ou sensiblement perpendiculaire, aux montants 2 (figures 1 à 3).As can be seen in the appended figures, a shelf 7 is advantageously pivotally connected to the frame of the clothes rack 1, between a folded position where it is retracted behind said framework ( Figures 4 to 6 ), and an active position where it is perpendicular, or substantially perpendicular, to the uprights 2 ( Figures 1 to 3 ).

Sur les figures annexées, la tablette 7 se présente sous la forme d'un U, lequel U comprend une branche transversale 72 dont chacune des extrémités est pourvue d'une branche latérale 70. Cette forme en U est par exemple obtenue par pliage d'un profilé réalisé en acier, en plastique ou composite, éventuellement recouverts de peinture ou de vernis, et dont la section est carrée, circulaire, rectangulaire (par ex : 0,5 cm x 2 cm), ovale, polygonale, etc. La branche transversale 72 a une longueur qui correspond à l'espacement des deux montants 2. La longueur des branches latérales 70 est par exemple comprise entre 10 cm et 50 cm.In the accompanying figures, the tablet 7 is in the form of a U, which U comprises a transverse branch 72, each end of which is provided with a lateral branch 70. This U-shape is for example obtained by folding of a profile made of steel, plastic or composite, possibly covered with paint or varnish, and whose section is square, circular, rectangular (eg 0.5 cm x 2 cm), oval, polygonal, etc. The transverse branch 72 has a length which corresponds to the spacing of the two uprights 2. The length of the lateral branches 70 is for example between 10 cm and 50 cm.

Des éléments d'étendage 71 sont interposés entre les branches latérales 70 du U. Ces éléments d'étendage 71 sont similaires aux éléments 51 et 61 décrits précédemment. Les éléments 71 sont par exemple fixés par soudage sur les branches latérales 70.Spreading elements 71 are interposed between the side branches 70 of the U. These spreading elements 71 are similar to the elements 51 and 61 described above. The elements 71 are for example fixed by welding on the side branches 70.

Les extrémités 700 des branches latérales 70 sont fixées aux extrémités supérieures 200 des montants 2 au moyen d'articulations 73 assurant la mobilité de la tablette 7 entre la position rabattue et la position active. Les articulations 73 se présentent sous la forme de pièces métalliques en U obtenues par pliage, et fixées sur la face arrière des montants 2. Les extrémités 700 des branches latérales 70 sont insérées entre les branches latérales du U, et maintenues en position au moyen d'une goupille 730 formant axe de rotation horizontale. Comme cela apparait clairement sur les figures 3 et 5, les axes de rotation 730 sont décalés au niveau de la face arrière des montants 2. Dans cette configuration, lorsque la tablette 7 est en position passive, elle est accolée à la face arrière des montants 2 : comme pour le piètement 5, elle est située dans le même plan ou dans un plan accolé auxdits montants. Lorsque la tablette 7 est en position active, les branches latérales viennent prendre appui sur l'extrémité supérieure 200 des montants 2, lesquelles extrémités forment butée.The ends 700 of the side branches 70 are attached to the upper ends 200 of the uprights 2 by means of hinges 73 ensuring the mobility of the tablet 7 between the folded position and the active position. The joints 73 are in the form of U-shaped metal parts obtained by folding, and fixed on the rear face of the uprights 2. The ends 700 of the lateral branches 70 are inserted between the lateral branches of the U, and held in position by means of a pin 730 forming horizontal axis of rotation. As it is clear from the figures 3 and 5 , the axes of rotation 730 are offset at the rear face of the uprights 2. In this configuration, when the tablet 7 is in the passive position, it is contiguous to the rear face of the uprights 2: as for the base 5, it is located in the same plane or in a plane attached to said amounts. When the tablet 7 is in the active position, the lateral branches come to bear on the upper end 200 of the uprights 2, which ends form a stop.

Lorsque tous les éléments sont dépliés, ou en position active (figure 1), l'étendoir 1 offre une importante capacité d'étendage du linge, notamment du fait du grand nombre d'éléments d'étendage 51, 61, 71 et des barreaux 3. L'utilisateur peut alors utiliser l'étendoir 1 tel quel, ou au contraire le brancher sur une prise de courant afin d'activer le chauffage des barreaux 3 et accélérer le séchage. Il peut également utiliser l'étendoir 1 comme radiateur d'appoint, sans linge à sécher. Lorsque tous les éléments sont repliés (figure 5), l'étendoir 1 est plat et relativement fin, son épaisseur correspondant à celle des montants 2 et du piètement 5 (et/ou de la tablette 6).When all elements are unfolded, or in active position ( figure 1 ), the drying rack 1 offers a large capacity of drying clothes, in particular because of the large number of spreading elements 51, 61, 71 and bars 3. The user can then use the drying rack 1 as it is or, on the contrary, connect it to a power socket in order to activate the heating of the bars 3 and to accelerate the drying. He can also use the clothes rack 1 as an auxiliary radiator, without laundry to dry. When all elements are folded ( figure 5 ), the clothes rack 1 is flat and relatively thin, its thickness corresponding to that of the uprights 2 and the base 5 (and / or the shelf 6).

En position repliée, et comme cela est illustré sur la figure 7, l'étendoir 1 peut être employé comme radiateur mural, avec éventuellement une fonction sèche-serviettes du fait de la présence des barreaux 3. Dans cette utilisation, les montants 2 sont verticaux.In the folded position, and as illustrated on the figure 7 the drying rack 1 can be used as a wall radiator, possibly with a towel-drying function because of the presence of the bars 3. In this use, the uprights 2 are vertical.

L'ossature comprend des moyens de fixation 8 sur une paroi support S. Cette dernière est par exemple un mur vertical. Ces moyens de fixation 8 sont configurés de manière à ce que l'étendoir 1 soit accroché de manière démontable sur la paroi support S. Ainsi, l'utilisateur peut initialement utiliser l'étendoir 1 comme radiateur sèche-serviettes mural en l'accrochant sur la paroi S. Puis, si l'utilisateur désire augmenter la capacité d'étendage, il lui suffit de décrocher l'étendoir 1, et de déployer le piètement de manière à ce qu'il puisse reposer au sol. Après avoir fait sécher son linge, l'utilisateur peut alors replier l'étendoir 1 et le raccrocher sur la paroi support S.The frame comprises fastening means 8 on a support wall S. The latter is for example a vertical wall. These fixing means 8 are configured so that the clothes rack 1 is removably hooked on the support wall S. Thus, the user can initially use the clothes rack 1 as a wall-mounted towel radiator by hanging on the wall S. Then, if the user wishes to increase the spreading capacity, it is sufficient to unhook the clothes rack 1, and deploy the base so that he can rest on the ground. After drying his laundry, the user can then fold the clothes rack 1 and hang it on the support wall S.

Pour simplifier la conception, et faciliter la manipulation de l'étendoir 1, les moyens de fixation 8 peuvent se présenter sous la forme de crochets destinés à coopérer avec des éléments en boucle 80 fixés sur la paroi support S. Ces crochets 8 sont par exemple fixés par vissage ou soudage sur la face arrière des montants 2, au niveau de leur extrémité supérieure et éventuellement au niveau de leur extrémité inférieure. Les éléments en boucles 80 se présentent par exemple sous la forme de pattes de fixation en étrier, de platine avec anneau, etc. On comprendra aisément que la configuration inverse est envisageable, à savoir des éléments en boucle fixés sur l'ossature et destinés à coopérer avec des crochets fixés sur la paroi support.To simplify the design, and facilitate the handling of the clothes rack 1, the fastening means 8 may be in the form of hooks for cooperating with loop elements 80 fixed on the support wall S. These hooks 8 are for example fixed by screwing or welding on the rear face of the uprights 2, at their upper end and optionally at their lower end. Loop elements 80 are for example in the form of stirrup brackets, platinum ring, and so on. It will be easily understood that the opposite configuration is possible, namely loop elements fixed on the frame and intended to cooperate with hooks fixed on the support wall.

L'agencement des différents éléments et/ou moyens et/ou étapes de l'invention, dans les modes de réalisation décrits ci-dessus, ne doit pas être compris comme exigeant un tel agencement dans toutes les implémentations. En tout état de cause, on comprendra que diverses modifications peuvent être apportées à ces éléments et/ou moyens et/ou étapes, sans s'écarter de l'esprit et de la portée de l'invention. En particulier, peuvent être envisagés : - d'autres moyens permettant d'articuler les pieds 50 sur l'ossature de l'étendoir ; - d'autres forme de rails dans lesquels coulissent les articulations 530 ; - d'autres dispositifs permettant de maintenir le piètement 5 dans sa position active.The arrangement of the various elements and / or means and / or steps of the invention, in the embodiments described above, should not be understood as requiring such an arrangement in all implementations. In any case, it will be understood that various modifications may be made to these elements and / or means and / or steps, without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. In particular, may be considered: - other means for articulating the feet 50 on the frame of the clothes rack; other shapes of rails in which the joints 530 slide; - Other devices for maintaining the base 5 in its active position.
