Abstract

A guard rail, designed to fit across an opening such as a French window (10) in a multi-storey building with balconies, consists of a first vertical panel (12) which attaches to the French window frame, and a second vertical panel (28) set at a distance of between 40 cm and 1 m from the first, with the space between the two panels fitted with lines (34) for hanging out washing. The two panels are attached to a tubular metal frame made from horizontal (18, 20) members and arches (22, 24, 26). The panels themselves can be made from glass, eg. frosted or coloured, or a metal such as aluminium. A fan or heater can be included to dry the washing more quickly.

Description

La présente invention concerne les garde-corps utilisés principalement pour les portes-fenêtres dans les immeubles et en particulier un garde-corps faisant en même temps fonction de sèche-linge. The present invention relates to railings used mainly for French windows in buildings and in particular a railing acting at the same time as a dryer.

I1 est courant de voir du linge sécher aux balcons et fenêtres des immeubles collectifs et principalement lorsque ces immeubles contiennent des logements de la catégorie des logements sociaux. Ce type de logement est souvent exigu et ne comporte pas de pièce pouvant servir à faire sécher du linge et à fortiori de sèche-linge électrique trop coûteux pour ce type de logement. Il existe quelquefois un local commun destiné à cet effet, mais les occupants sont souvent réticents à se servir de ce local commun en raison des vols ou déprédations qui ont fréquemment lieu dans un tel local. It is common to see laundry drying on balconies and windows of collective buildings and mainly when these buildings contain dwellings in the social housing category. This type of accommodation is often cramped and does not include a room that can be used to dry laundry and a fortiori an electric dryer too expensive for this type of accommodation. Sometimes there is a common room for this purpose, but the occupants are often reluctant to use this common room because of thefts or depredations which frequently take place in such a room.

La question qui se pose dans une telle situation est d'essayer de concilier une telle pratique avec un souci d'esthétique et de propreté dont le moins qu'on puisse dire est qu'il n'est pas pris en considération dans le cas présent. The question that arises in such a situation is to try to reconcile such a practice with a concern for aesthetics and cleanliness, the least of which can be said is that it is not taken into consideration in the present case. .

C'est pourquoi le but de l'invention est de fournir un dispositif du type garde-corps qui puisse servir de sèche-linge tout en ayant un aspect esthétique qui ne dégrade pas l'environnement dans les immeubles collectifs. This is why the object of the invention is to provide a device of the railing type which can serve as a dryer while having an aesthetic appearance which does not degrade the environment in apartment buildings.

L'objet de l'invention est donc un garde-corps utilisé devant une ouverture telle qu'une porte-fenêtre d'un immeuble, comprenant une première plaque solidaire de l'encadrement de l'ouverture et jouant la fonction de garde-fou, une deuxième plaque également solidaire de l'encadrement, parallèle à la première plaque et disposée en avant de cette dernière pour former entre elles un compartiment vertical, et un support à linge disposé dans la partie haute du compartiment vertical de manière à pouvoir y pendre du linge mouillé pour le faire sécher. The object of the invention is therefore a railing used in front of an opening such as a French window of a building, comprising a first plate secured to the frame of the opening and playing the function of railing , a second plate also integral with the frame, parallel to the first plate and disposed in front of the latter to form between them a vertical compartment, and a laundry support arranged in the upper part of the vertical compartment so as to be able to hang there wet cloth to dry it.

Les buts, objets et caractéristiques de l'invention apparaîtront mieux à la lecture de la description qui suit faite en référence aux dessins dans lesquels
la figure 1 représente une vue en perspective d'un garde-corps selon un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, et
la figure 2 représente une vue en coupe verticale du garde-corps représenté sur la figure 1.
The objects, objects and characteristics of the invention will appear better on reading the following description made with reference to the drawings in which
FIG. 1 represents a perspective view of a railing according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, and
FIG. 2 represents a view in vertical section of the railing shown in FIG. 1.

Sur la figure 1, le garde-corps illustrant l'invention a été placé devant une ouverture 10 telle qu'une porte-fenêtre située en étage d'un immeuble collectif. In Figure 1, the railing illustrating the invention has been placed in front of an opening 10 such as a French window located on the upper floor of a collective building.

Le garde-corps comprend de façon classique une première plaque 12 servant de garde-fou pour éviter de tomber aux occupants se penchant dans l'ouverture 10. Cette première plaque peut être en un matériau transparent ou translucide notamment en verre dépoli, mais peut être de tout autre matériau et en particulier en métal. Comme illustré sur la figure 2, la plaque 12 peut être placée entre deux glissières 14 et 16 fixées à leur extrémités sur l'encadrement de la porte-fenêtre. The railing conventionally comprises a first plate 12 serving as a railing to avoid falling to the occupants leaning in the opening 10. This first plate may be made of a transparent or translucent material, in particular frosted glass, but may be any other material and in particular metal. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the plate 12 can be placed between two slides 14 and 16 fixed at their ends to the frame of the French window.

Deux barres horizontales 18 et 20 sont également fixées sur les deux bords de l'encadrement de la portefenêtre 10. Trois tubes coudés 22, 24 et 26 sont fixés de façon solidaire sur les deux barres horizontales 18 et 20. Two horizontal bars 18 and 20 are also fixed on the two edges of the frame of the window holder 10. Three bent tubes 22, 24 and 26 are fixed integrally on the two horizontal bars 18 and 20.

Ces tubes coudés de forme générale rectangulaire ont leur parties verticales avant qui forme un plan vertical sur lequel est fixé une deuxième plaque 28 dont la largeur est la même que la première plaque 12 servant de garde-fou mais dont la hauteur est plus importante de façon à recouvrir presque entièrement l'avant des rectangles formés par les tubes coudés 22, 24 et 26. La plaque 28 est fixée sur les tubes au moyen de glissières 30 et 32 soudées aux tubes coudés. La plaque 28 est de préférence en métal, par exemple en aluminium, mais pourrait être en un autre matériau tel que du verre dépoli ou coloré.These generally rectangular bent tubes have their front vertical parts which form a vertical plane on which is fixed a second plate 28 whose width is the same as the first plate 12 serving as a railing but whose height is greater so almost completely covering the front of the rectangles formed by the bent tubes 22, 24 and 26. The plate 28 is fixed to the tubes by means of slides 30 and 32 welded to the bent tubes. The plate 28 is preferably made of metal, for example aluminum, but could be made of another material such as frosted or colored glass.

Enfin des fils 34 sont tendus entre les parties hautes horizontales des tubes coudés 22, 24 et 26. Ces fils sont destinés à étendre du linge qui vient d'être lavé de façon à le faire sécher. On doit noter que les fils tendus pourraient être remplacés par tout autre support à linge sans sortir du cadre de l'invention. Finally, threads 34 are stretched between the horizontal upper parts of the bent tubes 22, 24 and 26. These threads are intended for spreading laundry which has just been washed so as to dry it. It should be noted that the stretched threads could be replaced by any other laundry support without departing from the scope of the invention.

Le garde-corps qui vient d'être décrit est donc caractérisé principalement par deux plaques verticales 12 et 28 séparées par une distance comprise entre 40 cm et 1 m de manière à ce que l'utilisateur se trouvant derrière la première plaque puisse atteindre la partie se trouvant à proximité de la deuxième plaque. Les deux plaques solidaires d'une armature métallique, ici des tubes coudés 22, 24 et 26, fixée à ses extrémités sur l'encadrement de la fenêtre par des pattes de fixation 36, 38, 40 et 42, forment un compartiment vertical dans lequel du linge mouillé peut être pendu sur des fils 34 pour y être séché, ceci sans porter atteinte à l'esthétique de la façade de l'immeuble. En outre, la présence de deux plaques permet une canalisation de l'air qui, en s'écoulant de bas en haut dans le compartiment, accélère le séchage du linge. The railing which has just been described is therefore mainly characterized by two vertical plates 12 and 28 separated by a distance of between 40 cm and 1 m so that the user behind the first plate can reach the part near the second plate. The two plates secured to a metal frame, here bent tubes 22, 24 and 26, fixed at its ends to the window frame by fixing lugs 36, 38, 40 and 42, form a vertical compartment in which wet linen can be hung on wires 34 to be dried there, without affecting the aesthetics of the facade of the building. In addition, the presence of two plates allows air ducting which, by flowing from bottom to top in the compartment, accelerates the drying of the laundry.

On doit noter que le séchage du linge peut encore être amélioré de plusieurs façons. La façon la plus simple est de prévoir des trous d'aération dans la plaque avant 28. Mais il est aussi possible d'installer un ventilateur en bas du compartiment formé par les deux plaques ou même un système de chauffage, par exemple des résistances électriques, de manière à faciliter la circulation de l'air de bas en haut dans le compartiment. It should be noted that the drying of the laundry can be further improved in several ways. The simplest way is to provide ventilation holes in the front plate 28. But it is also possible to install a fan at the bottom of the compartment formed by the two plates or even a heating system, for example electrical resistances , so as to facilitate the circulation of air from bottom to top in the compartment.

Bien que la description qui précède concerne un garde-corps placé devant une porte-fenêtre, un tel gardecorps pourrait constituer l'avant d'un balcon, mais pourrait également être placé sous une fenêtre sans que l'on sorte du cadre de l'invention.  Although the above description relates to a railing placed in front of a French window, such a railing could constitute the front of a balcony, but could also be placed under a window without leaving the frame of the invention.
