Abstract

Folding type clothing extender, intended to facilitate the drying of textile garments, essentially characterized by being basically formed by two elements, one is a profile with inverted u section or similar open downward and rectangular outline while the other it is a support integral with the wall, the rectangular element having its outer corners widely rounded and its triangular side faces incorporating at the end closest to the wall an elongated hole in an inclined position.

Description

Clothes extender

The object of the present invention, as it is expressed in the statement of this specification consists of a folding clothes extender, very useful for saving space that its use represents.

Normally, clothing or other types of clothing that they have been wet for some particular reason such as washing, splashing (voluntary or involuntary) of water or some other evaporable liquid, rain, etc., must be subjected to a process prior to drying before use.

There are basically two types of drying namely: natural drying, consisting of exposing the garment to air either inside a room or outdoors and forced drying, normally by drying machines.

As for natural drying, the most usual to do it is to spread the wet garment on Some kind of clothes extender.

The traditional extender consists of use of ropes or wire with plastic cover or similar, horizontally extended between two walls, two vertical posts or some other element with similar characteristics.

This configuration suffers from a defect important and it occupies a space that is often large and prevents being able to use it for other purposes and also, if It is in public view, it is also unsightly.

For all these reasons, they have been designed different types of folding clothes extenders that once used, can be collected or folded and become concealed in the environment with the consequent improvement both spatial as aesthetic that it represents.

A commonly used folding extender model it consists of two supports of typically triangular profile between the which metal rods or similar elements line up, on which wet clothes are spread.

Another model is the provision of a set of rods longitudinally or radially on a single support of three or more legs.

All these models and other features similar, once folded still occupy a certain space and remain aesthetically inadequate.

Description of the invention

In order to overcome all the inconveniences previously commented, the new model of utility object of the present memory.

The new folding clothes extender is formed basically by two elements, one is a profile with a U section inverted or similar open down and rectangular contour while the other is a support in solidarity with the wall.

The element with rectangular contour and whose outer corners are widely rounded, presented in its laterals an increase in the depth of the profile, generating some triangular side faces whose purpose is to reinforce the U element when it has wet clothes hanging.

The side faces have at the end more near the wall an elongated hole in an inclined position.

Along these sides and by its face internal, a series of holes are made in which they are inserted the ropes or metal rods on which the wet clothes.

As for the supports that go in solidarity with the wall, each of them has two holes for its fixing to it through screws preferably.

Each support has some planes perpendicular to the wall, of triangular area on which it goes placed a transverse pivot which fits into the hole elongated triangular side of contour profile rectangular.

Each wall bracket also has a zone of seat whose purpose is to provide support for the element of U-profile in either of its two positions, dejected or extended.

Basically, the operation of the extender of collapsible clothing object of this utility model is the one described below.

When the clothes extender is in position horizontal, the lower angle of the triangular profile increase U-rest on the support seat fixed to the wall while the transverse pivots, embedded in the holes elongated U-profile keep the latter in position horizontal.

When you want to place the extender in position dejected, the U-profile element should be slightly raised causing the elongated holes to move along the Pivot ends This action releases the U element from the seats of the wall brackets and allows you to fold it down to the vertical position which is parallel to the wall and next to she. The horizontal space it occupies in this position is then minimum.

Description of the drawings

In order to illustrate how much so far we have exposed, it is accompanied by the present specification, forming an integral part of it, a sheet of drawings on the that has been represented in a simplified and schematic way a exemplary and non-limiting embodiment of the practical possibilities of the invention.

Figure 1 shows a view in First element plant of the clothes extender.

Figure 2 shows a view of the same element according to section A-A 'of the figure one.

A plan view is shown in figure 3 and wall bracket profile.

A sequence has been shown in figure 4 in which the depletion process of the extender of clothing.

Description of a case study

The new folding clothes extender is formed basically by two elements, one is a profile with a U section inverted (1) or similar open down and contour rectangular while the other is a supportive support with the wall (2).

The element with rectangular contour (1) and whose outer corners are widely rounded (3), presents on its sides an increase in the depth of the profile, generating triangular side faces (4) whose purpose is reinforce the U-element when it has wet clothes hung up

The lateral faces (4) have at the end more near the wall an elongated hole in an inclined position (5).

Along these sides (4) and by its face internal, a series of holes (6) are practiced in which insert the ropes or metal rods (13) on which They will spread wet clothes.

As for the supports that go in solidarity with the wall (2), each of them has two holes (14) for its fixation to it through screws preferably.

Each support has some planes perpendicular to the wall, of triangular area (7) on which it goes placed a transverse pivot (8) which fits into the hole elongated triangular side (4) of contour profile rectangular (1).

Each support (2) also has an area of seat (9) whose purpose is to provide support for the element of U-profile (1) in either of its two positions, folded down (12) or extended (10).

Basically, the operation of the extender of collapsible clothing object of this utility model is the one described below.

When the clothes extender is in position extended (10), the lower corners of the triangular faces (4) of the U-profile rest on the upper area of the seat (9) of the brackets fixed to the wall (2) while the pivots transversal (8), embedded in the elongated holes (5) of the U-profile keep the latter horizontal.

When you want to place the extender in position down (12), the U-profile element should be slightly raised (1) making the holes (11) run through the holes elongated (5). This action releases the rectangular element (1) from the seats of the wall brackets (2) and allows to lower it to the vertical position (12), which is parallel to the wall and resting in the lower area of the seats (9).

They will be independent of the purpose of this invention the materials used in the manufacture of elements constituting the object of the present invention as well as the shapes, dimensions and accessories that you can present, being able to be replaced by other technically equivalent ones, provided they do not affect essentiality or depart from the scope defined by the claims attached to continuation.

Established the expressed concept, it is written to then the note of claims, thus synthesizing the news that you want to claim:
