DESCRIPCiÓN DE LA INVENCiÓN DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

La estructura para tender y secar ropa objeto de la invención ha sido prevista para solucionar la problemática anteriormente expuesta, basándose en un tramo de tubo de sección circular, tramo central, eje de giro y pieza de soporte del resto del sistema. A ambos extremos del tramo central irán acoplados otros dos tramos de tubo, tramo superior y tramo inferior, sin necesidad de medios de aprietes, más que la diferente sección entre macho y hembra. En los extremos de estos tramos los tubos irán provistos de sendos discos perpendiculares al tubo, los cuales harán contacto con techo y suelo respectivamente. El conjunto se rigidizará, entre el techo y el suelo, mediante la presión ejercida por un resorte situado en el interior del tramo superior. Su tramo inferior tiene interiormente rosca hembra y otro tubo provisto de fOSca macho enroscando en un sentido u otro permite darte más o menos longitud, para ajustar la longitud del conjunto a las diferentes alturas de techos que nos podemos encontrar. La forma circular de los discos facilitara al usuario conocer la vertical, ya que cuando el contorno perimetral del disco este en contacto con la superficie del techo, el conjunto estará aplomado suficientemente para lo que nos ocupa. The structure for laying and drying clothes object of the invention has been provided to solve the above-mentioned problem, based on a section of tube of circular section, central section, axis of rotation and support piece of the rest of the system. Two other tube sections, upper section and lower section, will be coupled to both ends of the central section, without the need for tightening means, rather than the different section between male and female. At the ends of these sections the tubes will be provided with two discs perpendicular to the tube, which will make contact with roof and floor respectively. The assembly will be stiffened, between the ceiling and the floor, by the pressure exerted by a spring located inside the upper section. Its lower section has internally female thread and another tube provided with male thread by twisting in one direction or another allows you to give more or less length, to adjust the length of the set to the different heights of ceilings that we can find. The circular shape of the discs will make it easier for the user to know the vertical, since when the perimeter contour of the disc is in contact with the surface of the ceiling, the assembly will be plumbed sufficiently for what concerns us.

Una vez elegida el sitio donde colocar el eje principal del tendedero, el usuario insertará el tramo superior en la coronación del tramo central, empujará estos dos tramos hacia el techo comprimiéndose así el resorte, e introducirá la parte inferior del tramo central en el tramo inferior ya colocado en el suelo, aproximadamente en la vertical. Una vez liberado el resorte, habrá quedado suficientemente rigidizado el eje principal vertical de la estructura, al mismo tiempo, el tramo central será giratorio, facilitándose el giro con unos peque"os discos troncocónicos, con muy poca superficie de contacto entre sí, de material que ofrezca poco rozamiento, resistente al desgaste y a la compresión. Estos irán introducidos en los extremos de los acoples inferior y superior donde casen macho y hembra, uno en cada uno, cuatro en total, y se acoplaran sobre su círculo menor. Su centro geométrico será coincidente con el eje de giro. Con esta disposición de los conos, la fuerza de rozamiento en estas superficies será muy inferior a las que se producen en los discos acoplados a techo y suelo, con lo que el eje será fácilmente giratorio sin prOducirse movimiento circular en los discos. Once the place to place the main axis of the clothesline has been chosen, the user will insert the upper section in the coronation of the central section, push these two sections towards the ceiling thus compressing the spring, and introduce the lower part of the central section in the lower section already placed on the ground, approximately vertically. Once the spring is released, the main vertical axis of the structure will have been sufficiently stiffened, at the same time, the central section will be rotatable, making it easier to turn with small truncated conical discs, with very little contact surface between them, of material that offers little friction, resistant to wear and compression.These will be introduced at the ends of the lower and upper couplings where male and female, one in each, four in total, and will fit on their smaller circle. will be coincident with the axis of rotation.With this arrangement of the cones, the frictional force on these surfaces will be much lower than those produced in the disks coupled to the ceiling and floor, so that the axis will be easily rotatable without producing movement circulate in the disks.

El tramo central está provisto, transversalmente al mismo, de orificios tubulares perpendiculares a este, con entrada y salida diametralmente opuesta, que se dispondrán desde un extremo al olro. Por estos orificios serán susceptibles de introducirse tubos o barras de menor sección. Lógicamente estos tubos o barras quedaran en posición horizontal. Entre cada paso y su inmediatamente superior o inferior, habrá un desfase angular, preferentemente de 15°, intercalándose preferentemente dos tipos de secciones en dirección ascendente, una de mayor diámetro que la siguiente, a excepción de los dos primeros de un extremo y dos últimos del otro extremo, que tendrán un desfase angular preferentemente de 90° y de la sección mayor. Entre ellas se ira ganando altura para que cuando, al coincidir los tubos o barras introducidos por los mismos y sus correspondientes a 180 grados, se haya conseguido gálibo suficiente para evitar roces en las prendas. La estructura se asemejará espacialmente a un doble helicoide, dispuestos los tubos o barras a modo de doble hélice y vista la estructura en planta se asemejara a una rosa de los vientos. Estos tubos o barras serán de diferentes longitudes según necesidades, podrán ser, al mismo tiempo, susceptibles de desplazarse en sentido longitudinal al orificio tubular por donde se introducen y en ambos sentidos, de forma que podemos ajustar el tendedero a la disponibilidad espacial con la que contemos y utilizar los tubos O barras que queramos. The central section is provided, transversely thereto, with tubular holes perpendicular to it, with diametrically opposite inlet and outlet, which will be arranged from one end to the pot. Through these holes will be able to introduce tubes or bars of smaller section. Logically these tubes or bars will remain in horizontal position. Between each step and its immediately superior or inferior, there will be an angular offset, preferably of 15 °, preferably two types of sections in the upward direction, one of greater diameter than the next, being intercalated, except for the first two of one end and two last from the other end, which will have an angular offset preferably of 90 ° and of the greater section. Between them it will be gaining height so that when, when the tubes or bars introduced by them and their corresponding to 180 degrees coincide, sufficient clearance has been achieved to avoid rubbing the garments. The structure will spatially resemble a double helical, arranged the tubes or bars as a double helix and seen the structure in plan resemble a wind rose. These tubes or bars will be of different lengths according to needs, they may be, at the same time, susceptible to move longitudinally to the tubular hole through which they are introduced and in both directions, so that we can adjust the clothesline to the spatial availability with which we count and use the tubes or bars we want.

Al consistir el soporte donde colgamos las prendas en tubos o barras, estas tienen más superficie donde descansar, evitando que se marquen o deformen. Estos tubos o barras se abren angularmente hacia el exterior y entre si, en forma de sector de ángulo, con lo que el colgado de la ropa se facilita enormemente, ya que podemos colocarfa de fuera hacia dentro horizontalmente, y con mucho espaciO, o sacar la que queramos de cualquier posición. Además, el eje principal es giratorio, con lo que el operario no tendrá que moverse alrededor del tendedero, facilitando aún más la labor, sobre todo a usuarios con problemas de movilidad. Toda la ropa queda asegurada contra posibles vientos en exterior por el método de colgado sin necesidad de pinzas. la ropa interior se introduce por la pemera o entre ambas, al igual que cualquier camiseta , polo, sudadera, etc. que podremos colgar de igual modo apoyándolos por su costura lateral, abriendo la prenda y facilitando el secado. Los pantalones se introducen por los tubos o barras aprovechandO los estribos del cinturón. As the support consists where we hang the clothes in tubes or bars, they have more surface to rest, preventing them from being marked or deformed. These tubes or bars open angularly to the outside and to each other, in the form of an angle sector, so that the hanging of the clothes is greatly facilitated, since we can place it from the outside inwards horizontally, and with a lot of space, or take out the one we want from any position. In addition, the main axis is rotatable, so that the operator will not have to move around the clothesline, making the work even easier, especially for users with mobility problems. All clothing is secured against possible winds outdoors by the hanging method without the need for tweezers. the underwear is introduced by the whore or between both, like any shirt, polo, sweatshirt, etc. that we can hang in the same way supporting them by their side seam, opening the garment and facilitating drying. The pants are introduced by the tubes or bars taking advantage of the stirrups of the belt.

Para los calcetines, el tendedero cuenta con un sistema para colgarfos por parejas, se trata de un tubo, con dos calzos dispuestos transversalmente al mismo. Este tubo podrá ser introducido en cualquiera de los tubos o barras del tendedero, estando provisto de unas abrazaderas perpendiculares al mismo. separadas unas de otras el ancho de un calcetin tipo. Estas abrazaderas están abiertas en sus extremos, los cuales terminan en forma de esfera, quedando posicionadas en la parte superior del tubo y haciendo presión contra este, presión ejercida por la flexibilidad del propio material. Situando un trozo de tela del calcetln entre la esfera y el tubo, este quedará suficientemente anclado, uno por cada lado del tubo. Para retirarlos no habrá més que tirar de la pareja. Todos los tubos o barras, en sus extremos, tenninaran en rosca, donde poder enroscar unas esferas que servirán como elemento de seguridad y que irán afectadas de una hendidura transversal, suficiente para que cale en ella el colgador de una percha diseñada para este sistema, aunque podrá servir una percha convencional. Esta percha comprende un sector de tubo circular, circular tanto visto en planta como en alzado, y un enganche convencional fino. Estas las usaremos para el colgado de camisas preferentemente y, si se desea, cualquier prenda susceptible de adaptarse a una percha. De esta forma aprovecharemos la superficie perimetral exterior de la estructura, ya que la prenda va colgada perpendicularmente al tubo, adaptándose estas prendas a la forma circular exterior del conjunto gracias a la geometrla de la percha. For socks, the clothesline has a system for hanging in pairs, it is a tube, with two chocks arranged transversely to it. This tube can be introduced in any of the pipes or bars of the clothesline, being provided with clamps perpendicular to it. separated from each other the width of a sock type. These clamps are open at their ends, which end in the form of a sphere, being positioned at the top of the tube and pressing against it, pressure exerted by the flexibility of the material itself. By placing a piece of sock cloth between the sphere and the tube, it will be sufficiently anchored, one on each side of the tube. To remove them there will be no more to pull the couple. All the tubes or bars, at their ends, will have a thread, where you can thread some spheres that will serve as a security element and that will be affected by a transverse groove, enough to heat the hanger on a hanger designed for this system, although it can serve a conventional hanger. This hanger comprises a circular, circular tube sector seen both in plan and elevation, and a conventional fine hitch. We will use these for hanging shirts preferably and, if desired, any garment that can be adapted to a hanger. In this way we will take advantage of the outer perimeter surface of the structure, since the garment is hung perpendicularly to the tube, adapting these garments to the outer circular shape of the assembly thanks to the geometry of the hanger.

la disposición intercalada de tubos de menor sección, se ha previsto para que, cuando se haya colgado la ropa, en un principio en los tubos de mayor sección con desfase angular preferente de 30·, se tenga la posibilidad de seguir colgando ropa de menor porte o por un exceso de colada, y también servirá para ir desviando de la vertical prendas de mucha calda, como vestidos, pantalones, o ropa de lana. The intercalated arrangement of smaller section tubes is provided so that, when the clothes have been hung, initially in the larger section tubes with a preferred angular offset of 30 °, it is possible to continue hanging smaller clothes. or for an excess of laundry, and it will also serve to divert deviated clothes from the vertical, such as dresses, pants, or woolen clothes.

De tener un espacio suficiente como para poder usar la superficie plana con máximo rendimiento de la estructura. situando los tubos o barras hasta la mitad de su recorrido. esta tendrá forma circular. Sabido es que tal figura geométrica es la más eficiente, y espacialmente estamos fonnando una doble hélice con base circular, con lo que estamos maximizando rendimiento con el mínimo material. To have enough space to use the flat surface with maximum structure performance. placing the tubes or bars halfway. This will have a circular shape. It is known that such a geometric figure is the most efficient, and spatially we are creating a double helix with a circular base, with which we are maximizing performance with the minimum material.

Aquí entra el método de secado de la ropa: aprovechando la disposición que ha adoptado la mísma al ser colgada. se forman espacios vacíos en forma de sectores angulares escalonados, facilitando la evaporación y usaremos para agilizar el secado la convección como método de transferencia del calor, ayudado si se precisa con ventilador, quedando provisto el tendedero con dos convectores-ventiladores, situados en el suelo, a la distancia suficiente para permitir la entrada de aire más frio de ras de suelo y posicionados preferentemente en la bisectriz de la primera cruz formada por los dos primeros tubos o barras, arranque de los dos helicoides. El aire ira atravesando la ropa en sus diferentes capas, de abajo arriba a medida Que se calienta el aire frío del suelo. Para maximizar el sistema, colocaremos una cortina circular desde arriba como más adelante describiremos; esta cortina, o en su defecto las propias sabanas, servirán para formar un cilindro mayor que abarca todo et conjunto, produciendo un efecto chimenea que facilitará la convección y acotará la zona donde pretendemos canalizar el flujo de aire, sin que se nos disperse por el resto de la habitación antes de Que sea canalizado por dónde pretendemos. Al mismo tiempo, estaremos aprovechando la energia y la humedad para calentar el entorno y humidificarlo convenientemente. Lógicamente estos convectores serán usados cuando se Here comes the method of drying clothes: taking advantage of the provision that has adopted the same when hung. empty spaces are formed in the form of staggered angular sectors, facilitating evaporation and we will use the convection to speed up drying as a method of heat transfer, helped if required with a fan, the clothesline being provided with two convectors-fans, located on the floor , at a sufficient distance to allow the entry of cooler air from ground level and preferably positioned in the bisector of the first cross formed by the first two tubes or bars, starting of the two helicoids. The air will go through the clothes in their different layers, from the bottom up as the cold air of the floor heats. To maximize the system, we will place a circular curtain from above as we will describe later; This curtain, or failing the sheets themselves, will serve to form a larger cylinder that encompasses the entire assembly, producing a chimney effect that will facilitate convection and will limit the area where we intend to channel the air flow, without being dispersed by the rest of the room before it is channeled where we intend. At the same time, we will be taking advantage of energy and humidity to heat the environment and humidify it conveniently. Logically these convectors will be used when

desee. wish.

Como adelantábamos anteriormente, para el anclaje de la cortina o, en su defecto, el colgado de sábanas y ropa de cama en general de gran tamano, se utilizaran los dos primeros tubos o barras en sentido descendente, desfasados 000. Para ello dispondremos de cuatro pletinas, fabricadas en un material flexible. Por el lado de menor longitud permitirá ser arqueada fácilmente y el lado de mayor longitud, colocada verticalmente, trabajara bien a flexión. Estas pletinas tendrán una longitud ligeramente mayor a (2·pi·r)/4, siendo r, la mitad de la longitud de los tubos o barras que formen la cruceta superior y dispondrán de orificios circulares en sus extremos, con un radio ligeramente superior al del tubo o barra por donde se introducirán, que será el de mayor cota y unas abrazaderas para acoplar una pletina con otra. Para su colocación iremos acoplando estos tramos mediante las abrazaderas, haciendo coincidir los orificios de ambas pletinas, fonnando con las dos parejas de pletinas, dos semicírculos que irán acoplados al tubo o barra superior en ambos extremos, y descansaran por gravedad en su parte central sobre el tubo inmediatamente inferior que forma la primera cruceta de 000, con un pequeno calzo incluido en ambos tubos para tal fin y darle horizontalidad y ajuste a los dos arcos. La esfera enroscada en los extremos impedirá que la pletina se libere. Estas abrazaderas irán provistas de velcro en su cara exterior para ajustar la cortina perimetra!. Sólo para esta zona donde se cuelgan sábanas y ropa de cama grande, usaremos clásicas pinzas, ya que el pellizCO que ocasiona la pinza es irrelevante para este tipo de prendas. As we said before, for the anchorage of the curtain or, failing that, the hanging of sheets and bedclothes in general of great size, the first two tubes or bars will be used in descending direction, offset 000. For this we will have four plates, made of a flexible material. On the side of shorter length it will allow to be easily arched and the side of greater length, placed vertically, will work well to bending. These plates will have a length slightly greater than (2 · pi · r) / 4, with r being half the length of the tubes or bars that form the upper crosshead and will have circular holes at their ends, with a slightly greater radius to that of the tube or bar where they will be introduced, which will be the one with the highest dimension and some clamps to attach a plate with another. For its placement we will be coupling these sections by means of the clamps, matching the holes of both plates, connecting with the two pairs of plates, two semicircles that will be coupled to the tube or upper bar at both ends, and will rest by gravity in their central part on the immediately inferior tube that forms the first crosshead of 000, with a small chock included in both tubes for this purpose and give horizontality and adjustment to the two arches. The sphere curled at the ends will prevent the plate from releasing. These clamps will be provided with velcro on its outer face to adjust the perimeter curtain! Only for this area where sheets and large bedding are hung, we will use classic tweezers, since the pinch that causes the tweezers is irrelevant for this type of garments.

Si el espacio nos impide fonnar un arco circular compteto, podremos usar sólo dos pletinas If space prevents us from creating a full circular arc, we can use only two plates

para formar un solo arco, donde ya se pueden colocar sábanas. Si las sabanas rozaran con to form a single arch, where sheets can already be placed. If the sheets brushed with

camisas, grandes vestidos, etc ... simplemente sacando hacia afuera o hacia adentro el tubo shirts, big dresses, etc ... just pulling the tube out or in

Estas variables están dando solución para adaptarse de fonna tridimensional al espacio que These variables are giving solution to adapt from three-dimensional fonna to the space that

disponemos. El tendedero es rápidamente desmontable, todas sus piezas son rectilíneas we have The clothesline is quickly removable, all its parts are rectilinear

induidos las pletinas flexibles, que una vez desmontadas adoptan su forma rectilínea. los Induced the flexible plates, which once disassembled take their rectilinear form. the

lOdos discos, base y coronación de la barra principal, son de reducido radio, con lo que todo ello queda guardado en una bolsa de base cirrular y posicionados verticalmente, donde poder colocarlo en cualquier rincón de la casa. All two discs, base and coronation of the main bar, are of reduced radius, so that all this is stored in a circular base bag and positioned vertically, where you can place it in any corner of the house.

Para usar el tendedero en exteriores, se podrá adaptar a cualquier pie convencional, tipo To use the clothesline outdoors, it can be adapted to any conventional foot, type

15 trípode o similares sin perder la posibilidad de giro. Lógicamente prescindiremos del tramo superior, y el inlerior será igual al descrito, a excepción del disco de la base, que será de un diámetro suficiente para dar estabilidad al sistema, o de pies perpendiculares que estabilicen el conjunto. 15 tripod or similar without losing the possibility of turning. Logically we will dispense with the upper section, and the lower one will be the same as described, with the exception of the base disk, which will be of sufficient diameter to give stability to the system, or of perpendicular feet that stabilize the assembly.

20 Para estos casos de exterior, el tramo central está provisto de una pequena brújula que nos ayudará a identificar la zona que va a quedar más expuesta al sol y así poder elegir los tubos o barras más apropiados para el colgado de ropa según lo que convenga. No obstante, con la disposici6n de la ropa en forma de doble helicoide, circular y en sedares angulares, conseguimos otro reto para el cuidado de los tejidos y colores, que es uno de 20 For these outdoor cases, the central section is provided with a small compass that will help us identify the area that will be most exposed to the sun and thus be able to choose the most appropriate tubes or bars for hanging clothes as it is convenient . However, with the arrangement of the clothes in the form of double helical, circular and angular standards, we get another challenge for the care of the fabrics and colors, which is one of

25 los objetivos primordiales de esta invención: aprovechar el movimiento diurno para repartir gradualmente la exposición solar directa sobre la ropa. 25 The primary objectives of this invention: to take advantage of the daytime movement to gradually distribute direct sun exposure to clothing.

El sistema dispone, para días de lluvia, fuerte sol, o ev~ar el rocio noctumo, además de la cortina descrita anteriormente, de una cubierta fabricada en un material adecuado para tal 30 fin, que desarrollado, tendrá lonma cónica. El centro de ésta ira sduado por gravedad en la coronación del mástil que dispone de un tapón con coronación esférica, y se ajustara perimetralmente mediante veleros a un segundo arco circular y concéntrico al primero descrito, montado de igual forma, con cuatro pletinas de mayor longitud, y situadas en la The system has, for rainy days, strong sun, or avoiding night dew, in addition to the curtain described above, a cover made of a material suitable for this purpose, which developed, will have conical lonma. The center of this will be gravity-grained in the coronation of the mast that has a cap with spherical coronation, and will be adjusted perimeter through sailboats to a second circular arc and concentric to the first described, mounted in the same way, with four plates of greater length , and located in the

misma barra o tubo, que para estos casos también tendrán mayor longjtud. De esta forma la cubierta cónica sobresaldrá a modo de cornisa y habremos dejado un respiradero entre ambos. same bar or tube, which for these cases will also have longer length. In this way the conical cover will stand out like a cornice and we will have left a vent between them.

En definitiva, se trata de una estructura por piezas a la que, partiendo de unas mínimas necesarias, se van acoplando más individualmente según necesidades, dando solución a todas, que puede oonsiderarse como ergonómica, facilita la tarea, maximiza el rendimiento, In short, it is a structure by pieces to which, starting from some necessary minimums, they are more individually coupled according to needs, giving solution to all, which can be considered as ergonomic, facilitates the task, maximizes performance,
