Description

LAUNDRY DRYER FOR CARAVANS
The invention relates to a clothes horse in particular for caravans
It applies more precisely to a clotheshorse comprising clotheslines stretched between two supports mounted and removably attached to the handles of caravans.

 Drying linen while camping is almost always problematic.

The caravaner rarely has attachment points, or is so rare that already used. Common dryers are poorly suited for camping. They are difficult to fix, bulky, on the ground or in
chests, not very stable, so most often caravanners do not take them.

The invention therefore aims to provide caravanners in particular
an adequate dryer for drying clothes, suitable for all types of
caravan handles.

Using the handles with which the caravans are provided, we have the necessary support points for mounting the dryer. The invention
is characterized in that the laundry line supports are
openworked so that handles of different shapes can be styled
and dimensions. A corner preferably notched on one side immobilizes the
supports on horizontal, inclined or vertical handles. The face of the corner is advantageously curved to accept the handles, the
passage for the hand is rounded or sloping. According to a provision
behind the supports, adjustable or stepped pads are provided
to compensate for differences in hand passing between handles
different models.

This universal mount dryer structure is advantageous to
more than one title ... Simple assembly and disassembly on handles
existing horizontal, inclined, vertical, of different shapes, sizes, sections. It can be mounted on the handles
front, side or rear of the caravans according to the orientation of the sun, the wind, the space available or the discretion of the users.

According to a variant produced with an angle of 450 between the openwork part
and the wire holder part, you can, by mounting the supports face to face or
back to back vary the drying length according to your needs.

Other characteristics of the invention will also be highlighted
evidence during the following description with reference to the drawings,
which are given as an indication.

tion. The openwork portion (1) is distinguished by two lips (8) and a series
perpendicular ribs (4) on each side. The ribs fig 1 and 2
are intended to maintain the notched corner (6) in the position selected by
function of the shape of the handle (5) of the handle (7) (ex passage of hand
triangular, vertical position). The lips (8) fig I and 2 overflow
slightly on the front and back sides and allow the corner notches
(6) fig 3 to hang on. This non-return function is essential in
especially for inclined or vertical handles. The door portion
son (2) of the dryer is provided with holes allowing the passage of the
clothesline (9). Fig 2 shows the position of the compensating pads
(10) thick. This figure highlights the functions performed
by the whole, ribs, notched corner, protruding lips. The corner fig 3
of profiled section is characterized by its teeth-shaped notches (6a)
ratchet at the back, curved shape (6b) in front. Fig 4 shows
flat support diagrams for mounting on horizontal handles,
inclined, vertical. Supports produced at 450 as shown in the
perspective diagram fig 6 allow their user to choose the
drying length adapted to their needs. Some examples fig 5 show
different drying lengths possible, front, rear side
lement. Other arrangements may be found to take account of
the orientation of the sun, the wind, the space available, discretion
of the user. This is not the slightest advantage of the invention. the
drawings and explanations provided clearly show the advantage of the dryer
according to the invention. Note that its main elements lend themselves
well to current production techniques. Of course, the invention is not
not limited to the above embodiments described and shown for
which we can provide other variants without leaving the
scope of the appended claims.
