Description

The present invention relates to a folding type dryer machine.

The purpose of this invention is to manufacture decorative objects and for everyday use (table, mirror) by incorporating on the back a dryer according to our ingenious process.

The traditional dryer is bulky for some and unattractive for others. This bold, decorative device, practical in terms of its assembly and position, is ideally designed for small spaces: apartments, studio, motorhome, caravan, etc.

The characteristic of this invention is to be able to make dual use of elements of our daily life.

We take a picture or a mirror of square or rectangular shape. The first use is known.

Our invention to make it more of a dryer consists in fixing a grid (of our design) on the back of this element which marries its initial shape.

This grid which will serve as a dryer will be fixed to the element by glued clips, the assembly will be hung on the wall by pegged pegs.

The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention
Fig 1 shows in section: top view of the invention.

Fig.2 shows: open element, placed on the ground.

With reference to the drawings, the device consists of a grid (1) (rectangular or square) of any size enlarged at each upper end by a lug (2), which will allow it to be hung on the wall by two pegs (3) pegged

This grid is raised by two or three centimeters by perpendicular crosspieces (5) (the number required depends on the size or the table or the mirror) to keep the gap or space necessary for the passage of the laundry and hanging clips or hangers.

These crosspieces are attached to clips positioned and glued (6) on the bottom of a panel or a glass (7) five millimeters above the grid (1).

On this grid (l) oscillate two triangles (8) ringed by their ends (8) allow once the set raised, its keeps horizontal against the wall.

The room, aesthetic and useful, of this invention being the table or the mirror, this one requires moldings in the form of brackets (9) of three or four centimeters glued or nailed which form the frame and hide the parts (1- 2-3-5-6-8).

The upper frame molding of the table or mirror requires two notches (10) to allow the passage of the pegs pegged at the time of opening.

The assembly easily suspended thanks to the two pegs pegged against the wall allows its vertical pivoting.

At this instant the two oscillating triangles fall; let rest against the wall, the dryer can be used. To close it, nothing could be simpler: lift, push the brackets against the grid by folding the assembly
This invention is intended for all people wishing to save space and brings to the visual pleasure of a table or a mirror, an additional utility to this fixed element: the dryer.
