Description

Clothes dryer with protective shield for at least partially covering the area covered by the clamped support rods and a mast, a slidably mounted on the mast and lockable in an upper position sliding joint, which is movable via an elevator means from a lower rest position to an upper Aufspannstellung support bars for Clotheslines, which are articulated with an end portion mounted on the sliding joint, wherein the protective shield is supported at least in Aufspannstellung with a central region on an upper mast extension and movably mounted with outer regions of the support rods along the support rods.

A rotary clothes dryer with the features of the preamble of claim 1 is made GB 2 351 438 A known. Laundromats with protective screen of this type are from the DE 10 2008 052 049 known. In these clothes dryers, the mast in the upper area is slightly longer compared to the conventional clothes dryer without protective screen. From this extended area extending outward at the open clothes dryer support bars of a screen linkage. This umbrella rod is then covered with the actual protective layer of fabric or plastic and resembles a standard, but oversized umbrella. The generic screens are not only used to protect against rain but also to protect against UV light, as this UV light can fade the suspended laundry.

The rods of the umbrella rod of the protective screen are connected at the lower ends with the support bars of the clothes dryer. Thus, the clothes dryer can be opened or closed without jamming, the rods of the umbrella rod along the support rods are slidably mounted on these support rods. This can for example be done via small bearing elements, which are connected to the rods of the umbrella rod and the side of the support rods, which lies in the open state of the rotary dryer above. Here, of course, all other options of guides are also usable.

The generic rotary clothes dryers have the advantage that they open the protective screen simultaneously with the opening of the rotary clothes dryer. Furthermore, it is advantageous that this protective screen provides a good and effective protection against rain and UV light. The disadvantage of known Wäschespinnen but is that when opening the rotary dryer, the support rods as well as the rods of the umbrella rod are arranged substantially parallel to the mast and must be spread by the pressure of pushed from bottom to top sliding joint. Due to the unfavorable angular relationships, the outwardly directed force component is comparatively small, so that a high force has to be expended in order to push the sliding joint upwards and open the rotary dryer.

Irrespective of the fact that the application of a high force is associated with difficulties or at least inconveniences for many users, it also leads to a comparatively high load on the elevator rope and the mechanics associated therewith, which in turn leads to a higher probability of failure.

The object of the invention is therefore to provide a rotary clothes dryer with protective screen, which is easy to open and close with the longest possible life of the opening mechanism.

This object is achieved according to the invention in that the mast extension is formed by a lifting rod, which is displaceably mounted along the central axis of the mast against an upper stop and above the elevator means is movable upwardly, wherein the elevator means is designed such that it successively first the lifting rod is subsequently able to move the slide joint in the upper position. In particular, the possibility of movement of the lifting rod is limited by an upper stop, so that after concerns an abutment portion of the lifting rod stop, this can not be moved further and subsequently the movement of the sliding joint.

The force applied by the elevator means is thus on the connected in the power flow in series components lifting rod on the one hand and slip joint on the other. Due to the inventive design of the rotary clothes dryer with protective roof and upper lifting rod now the balance of power when opening is significantly improved. The user first actuates the elevator means. As a result, the lifting rod, which is arranged extendable or displaceable in or on the mast, in particular stored, is moved upwards. With this movement, the folded protective screen moves upwards.

Since the rods of the umbrella rod of the protective screen are longitudinally movably guided with their closed ends of the clothes dryer on the support rods and secured in the transverse direction, slide the connecting bearing elements during startup of the protective screen along the support rods in the direction of the lower ends of the umbrella rod, whereby a small pre-spread of both the umbrella rod and the support rod can be done. In addition, the force application point for the support rod is much cheaper, which must push apart the rods of the umbrella rod. Since the support rods now attack further down on the rods of the umbrella rod can be initiated with little force of the opening process.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the elevator means is an elevator line. Such elevator lines are already used in the mentioned in the introduction known Wäschespinnen. They are usually placed inside the mast and led out of the mast and the sliding joint in the area of the sliding joint. The free end usually has a handle on which the user can grab to open the clothes dryer. In the interior of the rotary clothes dryer, the elevator cord extends to an upper end of the mast, is deflected here and is then either fastened to the upper end of the mast or in turn runs back to the sliding joint, where the handle opposite end is then secured.

If the user now pulls the lift line out of the slip joint and the mast, he presses up the slip joint via the tension of the lift line, when the lift line is fastened to the upper end area of the mast. In contrast, if the elevator cord is attached to the sliding joint, it pulls up the sliding joint by the pull on the elevator rope. Of course, the elevator line can be deflected not only at the top of the mast, but also at another position below. Furthermore, pulley-type constructions can facilitate mounting.

In one embodiment, the elevator line runs laterally on the mast, that is, it is in the upper area led out through an outlet window from the mast runs parallel to the mast down. Lower it is then passed through a passage provided in the sliding joint, so that the user when pulling the elevator line pulls up the slide joint when the tensile force is directed upward from the sliding joint.

Of course, the elevator line can also be arranged completely together with the first deflection and the force introduction point outside the mast. In this case, for example, the lifting rod could extend with a lever-like boom through the then slit-like outlet window to the outside, above the outlet window then, for example, the first upper deflection would be provided so that from there the end of the elevator line can be guided to the boom which forms the force introduction point.

In another embodiment, the elevator line runs through the sliding joint in the interior of the mast, from there up to an upper deflection, which may be formed by a mounted in the mast pulley or even by a simple eye. Here, a longitudinal slot is then provided which extends over the range of movement of the sliding joint when opening or closing the rotary dryer, so that the elevator line can move upwards with the sliding joint and thus pushes up the sliding joint with an appropriately directed pull on the elevator line.

From the upper deflection, the elevator line then runs to the preferred mast mounted lifting rod. This lifting rod has a force introduction point, at which the force to be applied by the elevator rope, which is directed during the opening process before the first movement of the sliding joint from bottom to top attacks. This force introduction point can also be designed as a deflection roller, alternatively, here also eyelets or through holes can be provided in the lifting rod, through which the elevator line is passed.

The elevator line then runs from the force introduction point of the lifting rod back up to the upper end of the pole. Here it can already be attached. Alternatively, it can also be done at the end of the mast over another deflection back down to the sliding joint, where it is then fixed. If the user now pulls the elevator leash out of the mast via the grip piece, in both cases the force application point on the lift rod is initially loaded with an upward pressure force by the tensile force in the elevator leash. Since the lifting rod is mounted longitudinally movable in or on the mast, this moves upwards and ensures the lifting of the still folded protective screen with simultaneous slight pre-spreading of the support rods or the rods of Spreizgestänges.

During the first phase of the opening movement described above, in which the lifting rod lifts the folded protective screen, the sliding joint, which is also movably mounted on the mast, is still at rest. This is because at this time by the unfavorable force relationships described above, the force for moving the slide joint is significantly greater than the force required to lift the protective screen. If, contrary to expectations, the balance of forces does not permit the sequential displacement of the components lifting rod and then sliding joint, braking means in the form of a resistance brake can be provided on the sliding joint. This can be formed by the fit with which the mast is guided by the sliding joint, or a sleeve of elastic material, for example a plastic, arranged between the sliding joint and the mast.

The tension built up in the elevator line by the user will thus initially lead to the force introduction point on the lifting rod being moved upwards. Pulls the Users now continue on the elevator line, proposes the lifting rod to the stop, so that further movement is not possible here. At this time, the shift of the folded protective shield with the slight spreading of the support rod has already taken place, so that now with relatively little force, the user with the same hoist line can pull up the slide joint. As a result, then open clothes dryer and protective screen.

The deflections described above can be done in the usual ways. This can be pulley, which are rotationally fixed, so that the elevator line passed over a corresponding sliding surface. Alternatively, these rollers may also be movable, which reduces the expressiveness.

The lifting rod can be mounted longitudinally displaceable inside or outside of the mast. It is also possible that the mast itself is designed in the manner of a telescopic rod, in which case, for example, the lifting rod engages sleeve-like over the upper end of the mast. In this configuration, when the drive mechanism for moving the lift rod is to be disposed inside the mast, a slot may be provided in the mast through which the sleeve projects with a power transmission pin. At the end of this power transmission pin then the force application point is provided in the form of an eyelet or roller.

Finally, the lifting rod can also have any shape, in particular cross-section jumps or attachments can be provided. Important is only the fact that the lifting rod can be moved out with a pressure range from the mast to raise the folded protective screen.

The user will release the lift line after opening the clothes dryer. This means that now there is no more tension in the elevator line. The slip joint is releasably locked in the upper position in conventional clothes dryers. So it is even when eliminating the tension in the elevator leash secured against sliding down again.

Since the mast is usually higher than the uppermost level of the clotheslines, slippage of the lifting rod can be tolerated quite well if the traction force in the elevator line is eliminated. However, an alternative embodiment of the invention avoids this slipping. For this purpose, for example, be provided on the slide joint, a spacer that extends upwardly within the mast to the region of the lifting rod. Here it can be supported on a laterally projecting flange of the lifting rod. By This configuration prevents the lifting rod after displacement of the sliding joint in the Aufspannstellung the rotary dryer falls down again, since the slide joint is locked in the upper position and the lifting rod rests with the flange on the spacer. If the user releases the locking of the sliding joint, it slides down again and thus automatically releases the lifting rod, which also drops.

Another advantage of the spacer is the fact that it is also prevented at Wäschespinnen with damped sinking of the sliding joint that the lifting rod spontaneously falls into the mast. This way, the closing process receives a much calmer character, which is usually perceived by the user as high quality.

Further features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description of two preferred embodiments with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1 a clothes dryer according to the invention with protective screen 8 is shown. The Wäschespinnen has a mast 1, is mounted on the sliding joint 2 from a lower position to an upper Aufspannstellung back and forth. On slide joint 2 support rods 3 are pivotally mounted with one end, with 3 clotheslines 4 run between the support rods.

In the upper part of a Spreizstangenlager 6 is provided, on which Spreizstangen 7 are pivotally mounted, which extend to the support rods 3. When pushing up the slide joint 2, the support rods 3 are angled from the mast 1 and stretched over the spreader bars 7. For opening an elevator cord 5 is provided, which by the sliding joint 2 and a longitudinal slot 18 (see. FIG. 6 ) is led out of the mast 1 and over which the slide joint 2 can be pulled upwards. This function corresponds to the opening mechanism of most known clothes dryers.

Above the clothes lines 4, the clothes dryer on the canopy 8, which is fixed centrally on a mast extension in the form of a lifting rod 9 and at the outer edges at the ends of the support rods 3. In this case, the attachment to the support rods 3 is formed as a longitudinal guide with connecting bearings 11, so that the attachment point when sliding the clothes dryer in the direction of the sliding joint 2 on the support rods 3 can slide.

The Figures 2-5 show a schematic representation of the opening process of in FIG. 1 illustrated clothes dryer. FIG. 2 shows the still completely closed rotary dryer. It can be seen here that the protective screen has a function even in the folded state, namely a protective function in the manner of a protective cover for the folded support rods 3 and the clotheslines 4 (FIG Figure 2-5 not shown in favor of a clearer representation). The protective shield may have at least one eyelet or a hook on the upper side. So that after closing the clothes dryer the elevator line can be fixed here after at least once wrapping the protective cover thus formed. Thus, the elevator leash receives an additional function and at the same time is not in the rest position on the ground.

To open, the user pulls in the direction of the arrow on the elevator rope 5. As out FIG. 3 can be seen, this train on the elevator line 5 initially causes the lifting rod 9 lifts. The still folded protective screen 8 has an upper central area, which is here in the form of a rigid center plate 12. However, this is not necessary for the function of the protective screen 8 according to the invention.

By lifting the lifting rod 9 of the folded protective screen 8 has also been raised. It can be seen that the connection point between the support rods 3 and the umbrella rod 10 of the protective screen 8 has also moved upwards. In the in FIG. 3 shown position, the lifting rod 9 is at its stop and can not be pushed further up.

If the user now continues to pull on the elevator line 5, instead of a further movement of the lifting rod 9 bearing against the stop 17, the sliding joint 2 is now pulled upwards. This is done via an elevator mechanism contained in the interior of the mast 1, which will be described in detail later on.

In FIG. 4 is shown an intermediate position in which the clotheslines 4 are not yet stretched. It can be seen here that during the opening, the connecting bearings 11, via which the ends of the support rods 3 are mounted longitudinally movably on the umbrella rod 10, move in the direction of the outer ends of the umbrella rod 10.

FIG. 5 then shows the Aufspannstellung the clothes dryer, in which the sliding joint 2 is engaged. This locking function of the sliding joint 2 is already known from the known rotary clothes dryer, so that it will not be described further here. The support rods 3 have reached their maximum spread angle, the clotheslines 4 are more or less tense as desired. On the upper side, the protective screen 8 has completely spread out, wherein a fabric cover or a film covering rests on the umbrella rod 10.

The material of the protective screen 8 may be different, depending on the purpose of the protective screen 8 should meet. For example, a transparent film can be used if radiation energy is to reach the laundry through the sun. In this case, the protective screen 8 would essentially serve as a rain cover. An opaque or UV light filtering protective screen 8 of appropriate material can prevent the solar radiation from bleaching the laundry. Also, the protective screen 8 may have areas of different characteristics such that the user may, for example, dry under a transparent area white laundry with direct exposure to radiation, while another, non-transparent area with complete protection from solar radiation for sensitive, usually rather dark laundry can be used.

The protective screen can also be formed in two parts, so that the user can remove an upper, opaque layer if necessary or push aside. This upper layer can also be built up like an iris, in each circle segment can be formed by a rod-like support attached to a support rod of the umbrella rod 10 which is rotatably mounted in the region of the center of the umbrella rod 10, wherein along its longitudinal side of the opaque fabric is attached. The opposite edge of the fabric may then be attached to the support rod of the umbrella rod 10 so that twisting of the wearer places this fabric portion over the swept angular range.

In FIG. 6 the upper area of the mast 1 with the elevator means is shown in a detail view. This mechanism should only be understood as an example of how the inventive principle of anticipatory lifting of the still closed protective shield 8 can be implemented by the lifting rod 9. Another example shows FIG. 8 , FIG. 7 shows the variant shown in Figure after opening the rotary dryer.

For better illustration, the middle region of the mast 1 was cut out in all three figures, recognizable by the dashed lines above the sliding joint 2. In the lower region, the sliding joint 2 is arranged with the support rods 3 shown cut. It can be seen here that the sliding joint 2 has a passage opening through which the elevator cord 5 is inserted laterally into the sliding joint 2. In the case of the form of execution FIG. 6 this is a curved rope passage for the elevator line 5. Here it is advantageous if a provided at the user end end gripping piece for gripping the elevator line is so large that does not fit through the passage. This secures the mast-side section of the elevator line 5 and prevents it from fluttering during storms.

At the in FIG. 8 illustrated embodiment, the elevator cord 5 is guided through the mast 1 and passes through the wall of the mast 1 and the sliding joint 2 to the outside. So that the sliding joint 2 can be pushed upwards despite the elevator cord 5, a longitudinal slot 18 is introduced into the wall of the mast 1, which extends over the entire displacement path of the sliding joint 2 from the rest position to the clamping position.

The elevator line 5 runs in both embodiments of the sliding joint 2 up to the upper part of the mast 1, where it is deflected by a fixed guide roller 15 back down. In this area, the lifting rod 9 is slidably mounted in the mast 1. The lifting rod 9 is here exemplified as a thin rod which has a flange-like extension 19 in the lower region. This flange-like extension 19 limits the range of motion of the lifting rod 9. In the lower part a support is provided in the mast 1, on which the flange-like extension 19 rests in the rest position when the lifting rod 9 is lowered. This edition has passages for the elevator leash 5 and the spacer 16 to be described later.

In the upper part, the mobility of the lifting rod 9 is limited by stops 17. These stops 17 are realized here by an inwardly projecting web on the inner wall of the mast 1. Such stops 17 are not absolutely necessary, if the force application point is at the level of the first deflection, the lifting rod 9 could not be raised anyway. But they have the advantage that the For example, when tilting the clothes dryer removed from the stand or the bottom sleeve, the lifting rod 9 can not slip out of the mast. Alternatively or additionally, the lifting rod 9 (not shown) via light spring means to be pressed down.

The mast 1 also has in both embodiments, a slot guide 14 in which a movable guide roller 13 is mounted vertically different. This movable guide roller 13 is additionally attached to the lifting rod 9. It thus forms the force introduction point for introducing the necessary force to lift the lifting rod 9, which is applied via the elevator line 5. Above the stop 17 is at the in the FIGS. 6 and 7 illustrated embodiment, a fixed guide roller 15 and in the in FIG. 8 shown variant two fixed pulleys 15 are provided.

The elevator line 5 runs in both cases from the fixed deflection pulley 15 shown on the right to the vertically movably mounted, but firmly connected to the lifting rod 9, movable guide roller 13. From the movable guide roller 13, the elevator line 5 runs in the case of the variant according to the FIGS. 6 and 7 to the upper end of the mast 1. At the in FIG. 8 illustrated embodiment, in turn, the elevator line then runs again to the left, fixed guide roller 15 and from there through the flange-like extension 19 and the support to the sliding joint 2, where it is attached with its end.

By a train on the elevator line 5 in the arrow direction, the movable guide roller 13 is now initially moved within the slot guide 14 upwards until the lifting rod 9 abuts with the flange-like extension 19 on the stops 17. This condition is for the first variant in FIG. 7 shown.

After the stops 17 have been reached, a further tensile force can then raise the sliding joint 2, which is more difficult to move in comparison to the lifting rod 9, and thus spread the support rods 3. The slide joint 2 is pushed so far in the embodiment shown until the spacer 16 protrudes through the support and is positioned on the underside of the flange-like extension 19. A direct contact is not necessary. The spacer 16 has the function that when the user lets go of the elevator line 5, the lifting rod 9 can only drop to the spacer 16, thus thus remains substantially in the upper position. This prevents a lowering of the central region of the protective screen 8 with the center plate 12 after clamping the rotary dryer.

As an alternative to the spacer 16, the lifting rod 9, similar to the sliding joint 2, could be held in the upper position by means of a latching possibility. The release of these locking means can then take place via the same release movement, such as the release of the sliding joint 2 for closing the rotary clothes dryer. For this purpose, about a narrow release bar parallel to the mast 1 can be mounted on this displaceable, the latching means of the latching connection of the sliding joint and the latching connection of the lifting rod from the respective recesses when moving is able to push out by a small release path.

The illustrated embodiment of the invention is an exemplary way to implement the inventive concept. However, the invention should not be limited to these specific means, instead of the illustrated pulleys 13, 15, other deflection means may be used, the stops 17 may be realized in other ways and the elevator leash 5 may for example be provided outside of the mast 1.
