Description

VORRICHTUNG ZUM TROCKNEN VON SCHUH- UND KLEIDERWAREN, INSBESONDERE VON SKISTIEFELNDEVICE FOR DRYING SHOES AND APPARELS, IN PARTICULAR SKI BOOTS
Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zum Trocknen von Schuh- und Kleiderwaren, insbesondere von Skistiefeln, Schlittschuhen, Bergschuhen, Tennisschuhen oder Handschuhen gemäß dem Oberbegriff des An- spruchs 1.The present invention relates to a device for drying footwear and clothing, in particular ski boots, skates, hiking boots, tennis shoes or gloves according to the preamble of claim 1.
Werden nach sportlichen Skitouren die Skistiefel ausgezogen, konnten diese innen nass sein, sodass es wünschenswert ist , sie trocknen zu können, um sie nachfolgend so- wohl getrocknet als auch erwärmt anziehen zu können .If the ski boots are taken off after sporty ski tours, they could be wet on the inside, so it is desirable to be able to dry them in order to be able to put them on both dry and warm.
Um dieses Problem zu losen ist aus der US 4 200 993 eine Vorrichtung zum Trocknen von Skistiefeln bekannt , die ein Gehäuse aufweist, in dem eine Vielzahl von Offnungen aus- genommen sind, die mit geneigten Rohren verbunden sind, die an den Enden geschlossen und mit Bohrungen versehen sind, die Luft innerhalb der Skistiefel blasen, die mit dem Inneren an den Rohren aufgehängt sind . Ein Geblase, eine Heizvorrichtung und ein Ozonerzeuger sind im Gehäuse vorgesehen, um Luft aus diesen Offnungen auszustoßen . So dienen die einen Offnungen den Skistiefeln von außen zu trocknen, wahrend die Bohrungen im Rohr dazu dienen, das Innere des Stiefels zu trocknen und zu erwarmen . Die beschriebene Vorrichtung ist mit dem Nachteil behaftet , dass die Luft gleichzeitig allen Standern der Skistiefel zugeführt wird und die Zu- und Abschaltung der Luftzufuh- rung erfolgt gleichzeitig für alle Rohre . Der Energie- verbrauch ist daher sehr hoch, vor allem wenn nur einige wenige Skistiefel zum Trocknen kommen .To solve this problem, from US 4 200 993 a device for drying ski boots is known, comprising a housing in which a plurality of openings are excluded, which are connected to inclined tubes which are closed at the ends and with Holes are provided which blow air inside the ski boots, which are hung with the inside of the pipes. A blower, a heater and an ozone generator are provided in the housing to expel air from these openings. The holes in the tube serve to dry and warm the inside of the boot. The device described has the disadvantage that the air is simultaneously supplied to all the stands of the ski boots and the connection and disconnection of the air supply takes place simultaneously for all tubes. The energy Consumption is therefore very high, especially if only a few ski boots come to dry.
Aus dem deutschen Gebrauchsmuster DE 202 15 507 Ul ist hingegen eine Heizung durch Rohre hindurch bekannt , die um horizontale Achsen verschwenkbar sind, um die Heizrohre in verschiedene Stellungen zu bringen, vor allem in j ene angehobene, um die Skistiefel abzustützen . Auch in diesem Fall ist der Energieverbrauch erheblich, da eine Vielzahl von Rohren erhitzt werden müssen, wobei als Heizmittel das Wasser vorgeschlagen wird .By contrast, German Utility Model DE 202 15 507 U1 discloses heating by means of pipes which can be pivoted about horizontal axes in order to bring the heating pipes into different positions, in particular into raised ones, in order to support the ski boots. Also in this case, the power consumption is significant, since a plurality of pipes must be heated, with the water being proposed as the heating means.
Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist daher den E- nergieverbrauch soviel wie möglich herabzusetzen und das Heizen bzw . das Trocknen nur in Anwesenheit eines Stiefels einsetzen zu lassen .The object of the present invention is therefore to reduce the consumption of energy as much as possible and to increase the heating or cooling rate. to use the drying only in the presence of a boot.
Diese und weitere Aufgaben werden durch eine Vorrichtung zum Trocknen von Kleider- und Schuhwaren oder Handschu- hen, insbesondere Skistiefeln mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst .These and other objects are achieved by a device for drying clothes and footwear or gloves, in particular ski boots with the characterizing features of claim 1.
Es wurde ein Profil entwickelt , das in Aluminium oder PVC bzw . Kunststoff bereitgestellt werden kann, das die Basis für das Trockengerät bildet . Es werden zwei Formelemente hergestellt , ein kopfseitiges Formelement und ein Zusatzformelement . Die gesamten Profile sind modular um zur Bildung eines einzigen Ständers , z . B . mit einem bis sechs erwärmten Haken verwendet zu werden . Jeder Ständer be- sitzt oben ein Kopfprofil , das die Stromversorgung für verschiedene Profile in Reihe bereit stellt . In den beiden Formelementen sind Öffnungen für Rohre aus rostfreiem Stahl vorgesehen, die die Aufhängung der Skistiefel bil- den und Fräsungen für angelenkte Einsätze aus Kunststoff . Diese Einsätze werden seitlich in ein Drehlager eingeführt und bilden die Verankerung für dieses . Das Drehlager oder auch die Basis ist Kern der neuen Entwicklung . Die Basis bzw . das Drehlager dient einmal um das Rohr aus rostfreiem Stahl oder aus Kunststoff zu lagern und zwar in dem, in einer ersten Ausführungsform, ein Heizelement mit Silikonrohr, oder in einer zweiten Ausführungsform ein Rohrendseitig gelagert ist , das die Heißluft inner- halb des Skistiefels verteilt . An einer oberem Stelle des Drehlagers ist die Anordnung eines Mikroschalters vorgesehen . Beispielsweise wenige Millimeter unterhalb des Mikroschalters ist im Drehlager eine Druckfeder aufgenommen, die die Aufgabe besitzt, das Drehlager nach hinten bzw. in Offenstellung des Mikroschalters zu drücken, wobei die Feder in Richtung der Wand des Profils gespannt wird und der Mikroschalter offen gehalten wird . Durch die Anwesenheit eines Skistiefels , eines Schlittschuhs , eines Bergschuhs , eines Tennisschuhs oder von Handschuhen und das auf das Rohr aus rostfreiem Stahl lastende Eigengewicht wird das Drehlager nach vorne bzw . in Richtung der Profilwand verschwenkt und der Mikroschalter schließt den elektrischen Kreis . Die Heizung wird aktiviert . Das bedeutet , dass die Heizung nur bei vorhandenem Schuh aktiv ist und daher enorm viel Strom gespart wird. Ein Element aus Gummi bzw . ein Gummischuh wird auf das Rohr aus rostfreiem Stahl oder PVC gezogen und bis zur Stirnwand des Profils aus Aluminium oder PVC gedrückt . Das Profil aus Aluminium oder PVC, aus dem das Rohr aus rostfreiem Stahl hervorspringt , wird durch den Gummischuh dicht geschlossen und verhindert , dass Schmelzwasser eintritt . Der Abschluss des Profils von hinten erfolgt durch eine PVC-Abdeckplatte , welche mit dem Profil verschraubt wird . Diese Abdeckung des Profils verschließt die gesamte Verkabelung . Das Heizelement wird mittels eines Silikonschlauches in das Stahlrohr gepresst . Dadurch wird j eder Massenschluss ausgeschlossen . Vom Heizelement wird j e- weils ein Kabelanschluss mit dem Mikroschalter eines j eden Drehlagers verkabelt . Es werden die gesamten gesetzlichen Vorschriften eingehalten laut CE - IMQ-Normen und ahnliche . Die Verkabelung zwischen den Elementen erfolgt über die Abdeckung und somit sind die gesamten Kabelver- bindungen in die Elemente integriert und geschützt . Im Kopfprofil besteht überdies die Möglichkeit , ein Geblase unterzubringen, das Umgebungsluft ansaugt und sie durch die Heizelemente in die Stahlrohre der gesamten Profilreihe druckt . Das Stahlrohr ist mit einer PVC-Kappe mit nach unten gerichteten Luftspalten abgedeckt , wobei die Luft direkt in den Schuh befordert wird . Bei Räumlichkeiten mit durchschnittlich hoher Raumtemperatur kann auf das Einset zen des Heizelements verzichtet werden, da die warme Raumluft mittels Ventilator in den Schuh geblasen wird . In dieser Ausfuhrung reduziert sich der Stromverbrauch auf ein Minimum (nur Ventilator, da kein Heizelement zum Einsatz kommt ) . Die Profilreihe ist am Ende geschlossen, um den Warmluftfluss zu steuern und keine Verluste zuzulassen . Das Profil aus Aluminium oder PVC ist derart hergestellt , dass mehrere Elemente in der Reihe sowohl in vertikaler Richtung als auch in j ener horizontalen angebracht werden können und sich daher eine optisch und technisch ideale Losung ergibt . Die Montage ist sehr einfach und durch ei- ne beliebige Person ausfuhrbar . Das System ist modular . Es ist eine Herstellung von Elementen für eins oder zwei Schuhen vorgesehen . Das Elemenmit Doppelstab ist für Kleinschuhe wie Langlauf-Tennis-Golf-Fußballschuhe geeig- net , weil der Abstand der Heizrohre gering ist Beim Modul mit einem Heizstab ist der Abstand der Stabe für Ski- Feuerwehr-Polizeistiefel berechnet .A profile has been developed which is made of aluminum or PVC resp. Plastic can be provided, which forms the basis for the drying device. Two mold elements are produced, a head-side mold element and an additional mold element. The entire profiles are modular to form a single stand, z. B. to be used with one to six heated hooks. Each stand has a head profile at the top, which provides the power supply for different profiles in series. The two form elements are provided with openings for stainless steel tubes forming the suspension of the ski boots. and milling for hinged inserts made of plastic. These inserts are inserted laterally in a pivot bearing and form the anchorage for this. The pivot bearing or the base is the core of the new development. The base resp. The pivot bearing serves once to store the pipe made of stainless steel or plastic in which, in a first embodiment, a heating element with silicone tube, or in a second embodiment, a pipe end side is mounted, which distributes the hot air inside the ski boot. At an upper position of the pivot bearing, the arrangement of a microswitch is provided. For example, a few millimeters below the microswitch a compression spring is added in the pivot bearing, which has the task to push the pivot bearing to the rear or in the open position of the microswitch, wherein the spring is stretched in the direction of the wall of the profile and the microswitch is kept open. Due to the presence of a ski boot, a skate, a mountaineering shoe, a tennis shoe or gloves and the weight bearing on the stainless steel pipe, the pivot bearing is moved forwards or backwards. pivoted in the direction of the profile wall and the micro-switch closes the electrical circuit. The heating is activated. This means that the heater is only active when the shoe is present and therefore saves a lot of electricity. An element of rubber resp. A rubber boot is pulled onto the stainless steel or PVC tube and pressed to the front of the aluminum or PVC profile. The aluminum or PVC profile from which the stainless steel tube protrudes is tightly closed by the rubber boot and prevents meltwater from entering. The profile is closed from the rear by a PVC cover plate, which is screwed to the profile. This cover of the profile closes the entire wiring. The heating element is pressed by means of a silicone tube into the steel tube. This excludes any mass closure. The heating element is now used to wire a cable connection to the microswitch of each pivot bearing. All the legal requirements are met according to CE - IMQ standards and similar. The wiring between the elements takes place via the cover and thus the entire cable connections are integrated into the elements and protected. In the head profile is also possible to accommodate a blower that sucks in ambient air and prints them through the heating elements in the steel tubes of the entire profile series. The steel tube is covered with a PVC cap with downwardly directed air gaps, with the air being delivered directly into the shoe. For premises with an average high room temperature zen can be dispensed with the Einset of the heating element, since the warm room air is blown into the shoe by means of a fan. In this version, the power consumption is reduced to a minimum (only fan, since no heating element is used). The profile row is closed at the end to control the flow of hot air and to allow no losses. The profile of aluminum or PVC is made in such a way that several elements in the row can be mounted in both the vertical direction and in the horizontal direction, thus providing a visually and technically ideal solution. The assembly is very simple and can be carried out by any person. The system is modular. It is intended to produce elements for one or two shoes. The Elemenmit double rod is suitable for small shoes such as cross-country tennis golf soccer shoes net, because the distance between the heating pipes is low In the module with a heating rod, the distance between the bars for ski fire department police boots is calculated.
So wurde ein Trockengerat für Skistiefeln und Schuhe mit elektronischer Schaltung entwickelt . Der Stromverbrauch nur in Anwesenheit eines Skistiefels oder Schuhs unterstutzt erheblich das Ersparnis an Strom. Die Montage erfolgt mit einem modularen System. Das Gerat kann mit oder ohne Heizelement oder Ventilator gefertigt werden . NurThus, a drying device for ski boots and shoes with electronic circuit has been developed. The power consumption only in the presence of a ski boot or shoe significantly supports the saving of electricity. The assembly takes place with a modular system. The device can be manufactured with or without heating element or fan. Just
Ventilatoreinsatz ohne Heizelement ist bei hoher Raumtemperatur möglich, das Weglassen des Ventilators erfordert auf alle Falle den Einsatz des Heizelements mit dem Nachteil , dass sich die Trocknungsdauer bis auf 4 bis 5 Stun- den erhöht . Bei kompletter Bestückung mit Hei zelement und Ventilator genügt 1 Std . Betriebszeit , um die Skistiefel zu trocknen . Eine eigens dafür vorgesehene Öffnung im Kopfprofil ermöglicht den Einsatz eines Duftspenders mit antibakteriellen Flüssigkeit versehen, um dem schlechten Geruch im Raum entgegenzuwirken Das Trockengerat mitFan insert without heating element is possible at high room temperature, the omission of the fan in any case requires the use of the heating element with the disadvantage that the drying time increases up to 4 to 5 hours. For complete equipping with heating element and fan, 1 h. Operating time to dry the ski boots. A specially designed opening in the head profile allows the use of a fragrance dispenser with antibacterial liquid provided to counteract the bad smell in the room The drying unit with
Heizelement im Stab hat den Vorteil , dass es keinem Verschleiß ausgesetzt ist und j edes Heizelement lediglich 4 Watt Strom verbraucht . Das heißt , dass der Stromverbrauch einerseits wo Schuhe deponiert sind sehr gering ist , und das andererseits wo kein Schuh deponiert ist , der Stromverbrauch gleich null ist .Heating element in the rod has the advantage that it is not exposed to wear and j edes heating element consumes only 4 watts of electricity. That is, the power consumption on the one hand where shoes are deposited is very low, and on the other hand, where no shoe is deposited, the power consumption is zero.
