  It is an object of the present invention to provide a compact device that has a compact and stable structure and that can be easily and quickly assembled.

  This object is achieved by a device as defined in the characterizing part of claim 1.

  The term tubular profile in the following description and in the claims is intended to denote any hollow profile, in particular a hollow tubular profile.

  The device of the present invention comprises a crosspiece, wherein the crosspiece is designed to be connected to a bed structure and has at least two adjacent tubular profiles connected thereto at one end, the tubular profile comprising: Pivot about an axis parallel to the crosspiece, and a spring element is arranged in each tubular section.

  This spring element for each first tubular profile extends through the second tubular profile, the second tubular profile being connected to a support surface for a blanket or the like and parallel to the support surface. Pivoting about a major axis, the second tubular profiles are in a side-by-side relationship, and at least one element is disposed on the first or second tubular profiles to connect the first tubular profiles to the second tubular profiles. Fixed to the first tubular profile, this element being a receiving part connected to the first tubular profile and receiving its respective second tubular profile.

  The device so obtained is easily foldable. Furthermore, in the deployed position, a robust structure is obtained. The structure / stand is spring loaded by a spring element, preferably consisting of a spring strap. The end of the additional element or tubular section forms a receiving part for receiving the tubular section connected by a spring element.

  This receiving part may consist of an element fixed at the end of one tubular section or the end of a tubular section having a larger diameter, so as to receive the tubular section connected by a spring element. Designed.

  The device of the invention may be secured to the bed by screws securing the crosspiece of the device of the invention to the bed frame. Securing may be provided by a number of different known fixed or removable mounting configurations.

  The device of the invention can be used as soon as it is fixed to the bed.

  In a first step, the blanket support surface or grip means attached to it are held.

  Later, the blanket support surface is vertically spaced from the crosspiece of the device of the present invention.

  During this separating step, the tubular section is lifted and the preloaded spring element is placed on the tubular section to help move the tubular section into position in the receiving part, whereby the structure is firmly fixed. You.

  After use, the profile in the receiving part is pulled out. During the folding step, the spring elements in the tubular section are reloaded. The first tubular profile and the second tubular profile are arranged at adjacent positions.

  Advantageously, the two side walls can be connected to the crosspiece and / or the support surface. These walls may form a tubular profile receiving portion in the closed position. Thus, the entire device is very compact and can be easily transported and assembled.

  In a further embodiment, the structure of the present invention may be located within a bed structure. In this case, the bed structure has the function of the base.

  Several devices and / or elements may be provided, individually or in combination, to increase the stability of the system of the present invention.

  Advantageously, the two elements are arranged in a crosspiece to form an abutment for the first tubular profile. In addition, these abutments may be used to ensure proper closure of the device of the invention.

  Further features and details of the preferred non-limiting embodiments of the invention described herein are set forth in the following description with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the device of the present invention according to a preferred embodiment in an open position.

  Reference numeral 1 denotes a clothes-drying device of the present invention, which is designed for hanging a blanket 200 or the like. This device comprises a crosspiece 2. The term crosspiece is intended to represent an element such as a plate made of metal, wood, plastic or the like. This plate forming the crosspiece 2 is adapted to be connected to the bed structure 100. The connection may be provided by several screws or nails or by connection to the bed. These are examples of connections. The connection may be provided directly or with intervening elements, such as metal corner elements. At least two first tubular profiles 3, 4 are connected to the crosspiece 2 at one end. The term tubular section 3, 4 is intended to represent an object having a longitudinal extension with a central hole. These tubular profiles 3, 4 are adapted to pivot about an axis 5 parallel to the crosspiece 2.

  The orientation may preferably be limited by the stopper 50 to a maximum opening amplitude of about 90 ° relative to the crosspiece 2.

  Preferably, a locking member can be provided for locking the tubular sections 3, 4 in the deployed position.

  A spring element 6 is arranged on each first tubular section 3,4. This spring element is advantageously an elastic strap 6 made of plastic, rubber or the like.

  This spring element 6 of each first tubular section 3, 4 extends through at least one second tubular section 7, 8 and connects the second tubular section 7, 8 to the first tubular section. Connected to profiles 3,4.

  A second tubular profile connected to a support surface 9 for blankets or the like is adapted to pivot about an axis 10 parallel to the support surface 9.

  At least one element 11 forming a receiving part is provided on the first or second tubular section. This receiving part may be an extension of one tubular profile or a first tubular profile 3 or a second tubular profile 3 for securing the first tubular profile 3 to the second tubular profile 7,8. The element may be firmly fixed to the tubular profiles 7,8. This element has an inner diameter larger than the tubular profile to be inserted therein.

  Such a fixation is obtained by displacing the first tubular profile 3, 4 or the second tubular profile 7, 8 and inserting it into the element 11. Thus, the two tubular sections 3, 4, 7, 9 are kept in place by elastic straps, bands or threads.

  The elastic strap is preloaded before deployment of the device 1 of the present invention. This helps the structure to adopt its mounting shape adapted to hang the blanket 200.

  In one embodiment, the support surface 9 for the crosspiece 2 and / or the blanket 200 is connected to two side walls 20, 21, 30, 31. In a closed position, these side walls form an assembly with the crosspiece 2 and the surface 9 for receiving the tubular profiles 3, 4, 7, 8. Thus, in the undeployed configuration, the device is very compact and can be shipped quickly. This compact shape is obtained in particular because the first tubular sections 3, 4 are laterally displaced. These tubular sections 3, 4 and the second tubular sections 7, 8 are adjacent in the closed state. This arrangement makes deployment easier and faster, since the lateral supports provided by the first tubular profile 3 and the second tubular profile do not interfere with each other during deployment and closure.

  In different embodiments, at least one locking member 50, 51, 52, 53 may be provided to create an outward locking configuration for profiles 3, 4, 7, and 8. This locking member is arranged in the crosspiece 2 and / or the support 9.

  Preferably, two locking members 50, 51 are arranged on the drying device 1. Two locking members 50, 51 at the end of the crosspiece support the tubular profile 3. In a preferred embodiment, the locking surfaces of the locking members 50, 51 are smaller in size than the height of the clothesline 1. Thereby, the locking members 50, 51 can be confined in the closed laundry device 1 by the side walls 20, 21, 30, 31.

  Further, in a preferred embodiment, the locking members arranged on the crosspiece 2 are complementary to the locking members 52, 53 displaced in the width direction and arranged on the support 9.

  In a preferred embodiment, the ends of the tubular profiles 3, 4 are pivotally connected to the crosspiece 2, and the tubular profile 7 is pivotally connected to the support 9 by a block 55. The locking members 52, 53 thus form a stop for the tubular profiles 7, 8.

  Finally, it is to be understood that the above description can be added, changed or modified as would be obvious to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention, which is defined by the appended claims. .
