DESCRIPTION

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The objective of this invention is the design of a horizontal-portable-electric dryer for clothes and household linen that serves as a complementary accessory for all traditional, folding, movable or fixed clotheslines for drying clothes and clothes.

This invention bases its principle on drying the "wash", drained and wet, which is hung from any clothesline, using a convector horizontally, which produces a flow of upward, continuous and dry hot air, radiating it from the bottom to the top of the clothes and in all the extension of the clothesline, that the user has. In this way, heat flows throughout the surface of the hanging garments, thus allowing, by evaporation, its total drying in a few hours, giving the clothes a natural treatment at low temperature, without noise or vibration and with very low consumption.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Clothes dryers whose purpose is to accelerate the process of extraction and / or evaporation of moisture from garments have been around for a long time. However, none of them, due to their technical, physical, size, consumption and cost characteristics, satisfy this essential and daily need in a generalized way. In addition to the user's satisfaction with this type of clothes dryers, it sometimes leads to undesirable and dangerous alternatives, such as bringing clothes and wet clothes to hot spots — stoves, fireplaces, radiators, convectors, etc.— They are not prepared for this type of use and have nearby sources of moisture and / or easily flammable clothing.

In recent years they have appeared on the market folding clotheslines with heat bars, through resistors, hot air, etc. However, these types of clotheslines are not effective because they break the basic principle of the physics of heat propagation, since "hot air propagates from the bottom up." These clotheslines have the heating elements in the bars or tubes where the clothes are hung, so that said heat is concentrated in a minimum surface of the garment that is in direct contact or near the mentioned bars or tubes, losing the effectiveness on the rest of the garment, since the heat is always! goes up; so, in the end, this clothesline is only used like the rest of its traditional brothers, but it has been much more expensive, is smaller and has consumed energy without the desired effect.

With the same intention, we also find in the market multiple dryers in the form of hangers, independent hangers, hot air turbine dryers with plastic elements forming a closed enclosure chamber with zippers and other closures, all radiating heat; but its complexity of assembly and disassembly in each use, along with its geometry that only allows drying very specific and specific garments, do not allow us to have the option of being able to place all the diversity of clothes that we hang on a traditional clothesline, in addition to these inventions they carry high consumption, noise and discomfort.

The market also offers appliances that fulfill a great drying function, traditionally known as fixed dryers. However, due to their size, necessary installation, cost and consumption, there are few homes that have them and, even if they do, there is incompatibility with many delicate garments that do not allow drying in these appliances, so, in the end, the traditional clothesline is always used for drying these garments,

In conclusion. Although there are multiple inventions in the market for drying clothes and / or trousseau, the characteristics of existing ones show obvious deficiencies in their design and effectiveness. None of these inventions offers us a comfortable, economical, complete and effective solution for the rapid drying of all types of garment and trousseau, which makes it a useful, efficient, practical, economical complement, of easy transport and low consumption, adaptable to all traditional indoor clotheslines, like the one this invention proposes.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The horizontal-portable-electric dryer for clothes and household linen that the invention proposes, part of the basic operating structure of any radiator by natural and / or dynamic convection, but its horizontal design and piano, insulating connections and its tightness to the humidity, it allows to solve the problematic previously exposed and to use it like this in any of the existing clotheslines in the market, since this dryer-horizontal-portable-electric for clothes and household clothes is an accessory that adapts easily and easily to most of these clotheslines, supporting it on the ground and between the legs or scissors (of the folding and mobile), leaving it a few centimeters from the hanging garments, and the same with the fixed clotheslines between-walls or hanging, raising it, in this case, with telescopic legs up to a few centimeters of the clothes. In this way we achieve, in any case, the desired effect of radiating by natural and / or dynamic convection, the smooth flow of constant and dry heat from the lower part of the clothing to its upper part where it is hung, receiving all the Turn on the heat to dry it in a few hours at low temperature and low electricity consumption.

This dryer-horizontal-portable-electric for clothes and household clothes lying, has fixed legs for support on the ground that, depending on the model, you can adapt telescopic legs to raise it in height.

Also the practicality, in some models, of being extensible and retractable, longitudinally, will allow us to adapt it to the extent of the clothesline that we have, to be able to store it more easily when we do not use it, or to transport it more comfortably when we need to move.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In view of the summarized drawings, Figure 1 shows the invention in operating position, resting on the ground on its fixed legs, under a conventional clothesline from which the wet clothes were hung for drying.

In this figure 1, the elements that form the invention are detailed, constituted by two housings (1) that will be made of light, insulating, resistant material and totally waterproof to its external and internal connections with the different elements that the user has to maneuver to use the horizontal-portable-electric-dryer. Within these housings (1) will be all the circuits, connections, turbines and safety elements, necessary for the operation of the resistors and / or fluids and / or air that will heat the fins and / or tubes and / or profiles (2) .

In Figure 2, it can be seen that the housings (1) together with the non-heating profiles (3) form the essential and reinforced body of the invention, to house the fins and / or tubes and / or heating profiles (2) longitudinally. These fins and / or tubes and / or profiles (2), which will be of highly heat conductive material, will have, on the inside, resistances and / or fluid and / or air that heats them, with a geometry that allows to place a large number of them, optimizing the proportionality between their size and the greater surface in contact with the cold air that comes from the ground, to obtain more hot air and at a higher speed with less electricity consumption, as shown in figure 3.

From the housings (1) the connection to the electrical network is made through a cable and its plug (5), and the switch and / or potentiometer and / or timer to connect and disconnect the device (4). They are also anchored to said housings (1), and from the bottom, the four support legs (6) on the ground, and which will allow the telescopic legs (7) to be incorporated for height elevation, as illustrated in Figure 4 .
