Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Wäscheständer zum Trocknen von Wäschestücken, mit einem Gestell, an dem Fußelemente vorgesehen sind, mittels derer der Wäscheständer selbsttragend am Boden abstellbar ist, wobei an dem Gestell mindestens ein Flügel angeordnet ist, an dem mehrere Streben zum Aufhängen von Wäschestücken vorgesehen sind, wobei der Flügel mehrere voneinander beabstandete Streben aufweist, die an einer Endseite frei hängend unter Bildung von Schlitzen zum Einführen der Wäschestücke angeordnet sind.The present invention relates to a drying rack for drying items of laundry, with a frame on which foot elements are provided, by means of which the drying rack is self-supporting on the floor, wherein on the frame at least one wing is arranged, provided on the several struts for hanging laundry are, wherein the wing has a plurality of spaced-apart struts, which are arranged on one end side hanging freely to form slots for inserting the laundry items.

Es gibt Wäscheständer, die freistehend über ein Gestell auf dem Boden abstellbar sind, wobei seitlich vorgesehene Flügel ausschwenkbar sind, an denen Wäschestücke aufgehangen werden können. Die Flügel weisen dabei von einem Rahmen umgebene Querstreben auf, an denen die Wäschestücke aufgehängt werden können. Der Rahmen gibt dem Flügel zwar eine hohe Stabilität, allerdings gestaltet sich das Aufhängen der Kleidungsstücke mühsam, gerade wenn größere Kleidungsstücke weit nach oben angehoben werden müssen, um dann zwischen die Querstreben eingefädelt zu werden. Nach dem Einfädeln werden dann meist noch Klammern zum Festlegen der Wäschestücke positioniert.There are drying racks, which are freestanding on a rack on the floor are turned off, with laterally provided wings are swung, where laundry can be hung. The wings in this case have surrounded by a frame cross struts on which the laundry items can be hung. Although the frame gives the wing a high stability, but the hanging of the garments designed laboriously, just when larger pieces of clothing must be raised far to the top, and then threaded between the crossbars. After threading, staples are usually positioned to set the laundry items.

Ferner ist aus der DE 84 21 274 ein Wäschehalter bekannt, der an einer Wand montierbar ist und bei dem an einem verschwenkbaren Tragarm mehrere Tragstäbe angeordnet sind. Die Tragstäbe sind dabei frei hängend ausgebildet und erleichtern das Einfädeln von Wäsche. Der Wandhalter besitzt jedoch nur eine geringe Fläche zum Aufhängen von Wäschestücken und wegen der auftretenden Hebelkräfte sind die Tragstäbe und der Tragarm relativ kurz ausgebildet. Zudem lässt sich der Wäschehalter nicht ohne weiteres von der Wand entfernen, weshalb er sich nur in wenigen Räumen einsetzen lässt, ohne störend zu wirken.Furthermore, from the DE 84 21 274 a laundry holder known, which is mounted on a wall and in which a plurality of support rods are arranged on a pivotable support arm. The support rods are freely suspended and facilitate the threading of linen. However, the wall holder has only a small area for hanging laundry and because of the lever forces occurring the support rods and the support arm are relatively short. In addition, the laundry holder can not be easily removed from the wall, which is why it can be used only in a few rooms, without disturbing.

Aus WO 2004/109007A ist ein Wäscheständer bekannt, der zumindest ein Paar von länglichen, paarweise angeordneten Klemmbügeln aufweist. Die Klemmbügel weisen zueinander einen Abstand auf, der es zulässt Wäschestücke einzuführen. Die Klemmbügel können vorgespannt sein.Out WO 2004 / 109007A For example, a drying rack is known which has at least one pair of elongate, paired clamping straps. The clamps have a distance to each other, which allows to introduce laundry items. The clamps may be biased.

Aus JP 09 192393A ist ein Wäscheständer bekannt, der einen aus einzelnen Trockenstäben bestehenden Trockenrahmen aufweist. Die Trockenstäbe sind jeweils mit Haltebügeln ausgerüstet, die zum Festklemmen von Wäschestücken dienen.Out JP 09 192393A For example, a drying rack is known which has a drying frame consisting of individual drying rods. The drying rods are each equipped with brackets that serve to clamp laundry items.

Aus US 1,628,936 ist ein auf eine Badewanne aufsetzbarer Wäscheständer bekannt. In einer Ausführungsform sind ausziehbare Verlängerungstrockenstäbe vorgesehen, die in der ausgezogenen Stellung an einem Ende gehalten sind.Out US 1,628,936 is known a can be placed on a bathtub clothes horse. In one embodiment, extendable extension drying rods are provided which are held in the extended position at one end.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung einen Wäscheständer zum Trocknen von Wäschestücken zu schaffen, bei dem eine Vielzahl von Wäschestücken gehalten werden können und das Aufhängen derselben vergleichsweise einfach ist.It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a drying rack for drying laundry, in which a plurality of laundry items can be kept and the suspension of the same is relatively easy.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit einem Wäscheständer zum Trocknen von Wäschestücken mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1 gelöst.This object is achieved with a drying rack for drying laundry with the features of claim 1.

Erfindungsgemäß weist der selbsttragend am Boden abstellbare Wäscheständer am Flügel mehrere voneinander beabstandete Streben auf, die an einer Endseite frei hängend unter Bildung von Schlitzen zum Einführen der Wäschestücke angeordnet sind. Dadurch kann der Benutzer gerade bei größeren Wäschestücken diese durch die Schlitze zu den Streben hinbewegen und diese entweder lose an den Streben oder mittels Wäscheklammern aufhängen. Es ist nicht mehr erforderlich, die Wäschestücke in einen Rahmen zu heben und zwischen die Streben von oben einzufädeln. Die Schlitze zum Einführen der Wäschestücke können dabei sowohl nach vorne als auch seitlich zu dem Wäscheständer geöffnet sein. Der Flügel wird dementsprechend durch ein gitterartiges Element gebildet, das zu einer Seite hin offen ist, wobei der "Flügel" sowohl verschwenkbare als auch feststehende oder nur verschiebbare Streben umfassen kann.According to the invention, the self-supporting floor standing on the laundry rack on the wing on a plurality of spaced apart struts, which are arranged freely hanging on one end side to form slots for inserting the laundry items. As a result, the user, especially with larger items of laundry, can move them through the slots to the struts and hang them either loosely on the struts or by means of clothespins. It is no longer necessary to lift the laundry items into a frame and thread them between the struts from above. The slits for introducing the laundry items can be opened both forward and laterally to the drying rack. The wing is accordingly formed by a lattice-like element which is open to one side, wherein the "wing" may comprise both pivotable and fixed or only sliding struts.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind die Streben an einer gegenüberliegenden Endseite an einer Querstange festgelegt. Die Streben können dabei aus Metall ausgebildet sein, um mit der Querstange verschweißt werden zu können, so dass der Flügel trotz der frei hängenden Streben eine hohe Stabilität aufweist.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the struts are fixed on an opposite end side to a crossbar. The struts can be made of metal, in order to be welded to the crossbar can, so that the wing has a high stability despite the freely suspended struts.

Vorzugsweise weist der Flügel einen ersten Bereich mit den Streben und einen zweiten Bereich mit von einem Rahmen umgebenen Querstreben auf. Denn die Streben müssen durch die frei hängende Anordnung eine etwas höhere Steifigkeit haben als Querstreben, die von einem Rahmen umgeben sind. Gerade für Kleinteile, wie Socken oder Unterwäsche, wirkt der umgebende Rahmen jedoch nicht störend, so dass der Flügel durch die unterschiedlichen Bereiche besonders gut zum Aufhängen unterschiedlich großer Wäschestücke geeignet ist. Für einen kompakten Aufbau kann dabei der Rahmen für die Querstreben teilweise durch verlängerte Abschnitte der äußeren Streben gebildet sein, die dann zur Fixierung der Querstreben dienen. Die Querstreben können dabei aus einem vergleichsweise dünnen Draht hergestellt sein, während die Streben sowie die Querstange aus Rohren mit einer höheren Steifigkeit gebildet sind.The wing preferably has a first area with the struts and a second area with cross struts surrounded by a frame. Because the struts must have a slightly higher rigidity than the cross struts, which are surrounded by a frame by the freely suspended arrangement. However, especially for small parts, such as socks or underwear, the surrounding frame does not interfere, so that the wing is particularly well suited for hanging different sized laundry items through the different areas. For a compact construction of the frame for the cross braces may be partially formed by extended portions of the outer struts, which then serve to fix the cross braces. The cross struts can be made of a relatively thin wire, while the struts and the cross bar are formed from tubes with a higher rigidity.

Vorzugsweise ist der Flügel verschwenkbar oder verschiebbar gelagert und kann mit einem Mittelteil eine große Fläche zum Aufhängen von Wäsche abdecken. Alternativ ist es möglich, als Gestell einen H-förmigen Träger vorzusehen, wobei an einer mittleren Querstange des Trägers die frei hängenden Streben festgelegt sind, so dass der Wäscheständer einen besonders einfachen Aufbau besitzt.Preferably, the wing is pivotally or slidably mounted and can cover a large area for hanging laundry with a central part. Alternatively, it is possible to provide a H-shaped support as a frame, wherein the free-hanging struts are fixed to a central crossbar of the carrier, so that the drying rack has a particularly simple structure.

Für eine einfache Handhabung des Wäscheständers können an dem Gestell schwenkbare Stützelemente gelagert sein, die jeweils einen Flügel im ausgeklappten Zustand abstützen. Dadurch lässt sich der Wäscheständer für eine Benutzung schnell aufstellen und entfalten. Das Stützelement kann dabei an der Querstange und/oder den Querstreben eines Flügels angelegt werden.For easy handling of the clothes horse pivotal support elements may be mounted on the frame, each supporting a wing in the unfolded state. This allows the clothes horse for use set up quickly and unfold. The support element can be applied to the crossbar and / or the cross struts of a wing.

Um eine besonders große Fläche zum Aufhängen der Wäschestücke bereitzustellen, weist der Wäscheständer in einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung zwei an gegenüberliegenden Seiten des Gestells angeordnete verschwenkbare Flügel auf. Die Flügel können dabei um dieselbe Drehachse drehbar sein, wie auch die Fußelemente des Gestells. Es ist aber auch möglich, ein feststehendes Mittelteil an dem Wäscheständer auszubilden, das an zwei gegenüberliegenden Seiten jeweils einen verschwenkbaren Flügel trägt. Das Gestell weist einen in etwa H-förmigen Träger auf, wobei an einer Querstange des Trägers die die beiden Flügel bildenden frei hängenden Streben festgelegt oder verschiebbar gehalten sind.In order to provide a particularly large area for hanging the items of laundry, the drying rack in an advantageous embodiment, two arranged on opposite sides of the frame pivotable wings. The wings can be rotatable about the same axis of rotation, as well as the foot elements of the frame. But it is also possible to form a fixed center part on the drying rack, which carries on two opposite sides in each case a pivotable wing. The frame has an approximately H-shaped carrier, wherein the two wings forming free-hanging struts are fixed or slidably held on a crossbar of the carrier.

Um die Fläche für aufzuhängende Wäschestücke zu vergrößern, können die Streben an der frei hängenden Endseite auch teleskopierbar ausgebildet sein und bei Bedarf dann verlängert werden. Ferner kann der Flügel auch einzelne Streben in gewellter Form besitzen, an denen dann in vorbestimmten Abständen Kleiderbügel aufgehängt werden können.In order to increase the surface for suspended laundry, the struts on the free-hanging end side can also be made telescopic and then extended if necessary. Furthermore, the wing may also have individual struts in corrugated form, which can then be hung at predetermined intervals hangers.

Ein Wäscheständer 1 umfasst ein Gestell, dass zwei Fußelemente 2 und 3 aufweist, die an einer Stange 4 verschwenkbar gelagert sind und zum Abstellen auf einem Boden nach unten hin V-förmig aufspreizen. Die U-förmigen Fußelemente 2 und 3 weisen für eine bessere Bodenhaftung Abstellelemente 5 aus Kunststoff auf.A clothes horse 1 comprises a frame that has two foot elements 2 and 3, which are pivotably mounted on a rod 4 and spread out V-shaped for parking on a ground downwards. The U-shaped foot elements 2 and 3 have for better traction Abstellelemente 5 made of plastic.

An den Fußelementen 2 und 3 sind in einem mittigen Bereich zwei Gitter 6 und 8 vorgesehen, die über Ösen 10 miteinander verbunden sind. Das Gitter 6 ist um eine Achse 7 und das Gitter 8 um eine Achse 9 an den Fußelementen 2 und 3 verschwenkbar gelagert. Durch die Verbindung der Gitter 6 und 8 wird der maximale Öffnungswinkel der Fußelemente 2 und 3 begrenzt.At the foot elements 2 and 3, two grids 6 and 8 are provided in a central region, which are connected to each other via eyelets 10. The grid 6 is mounted pivotably about an axis 7 and the grid 8 about an axis 9 on the foot elements 2 and 3. By connecting the grid 6 and 8, the maximum opening angle of the foot elements 2 and 3 is limited.

An der Stange 4 sind zu beiden Seiten hin verschwenkbare Flügel 11 montiert, die sich zur Seite hin erstreckende Streben 12 aufweisen. Die Streben 12 sind in regelmäßigen Abständen angeordnet und bilden zwischen sich Schlitze aus, die von der Seite her zugänglich sind, so dass Wäschestücke von der Seite her zwischen die Streben 12 eingefädelt werden können. Die Streben 12 sind endseitig frei hängend ausgebildet und an der gegenüberliegenden Seite an einer gemeinsamen Querstange 14 festgelegt, vorzugsweise verschweißt.On the rod 4 pivotable wings 11 are mounted on both sides, which have to the side extending struts 12. The struts 12 are arranged at regular intervals and form between them slots which are accessible from the side, so that laundry items can be threaded from the side between the struts 12. The struts 12 are designed to be freely suspended at the end and fixed on the opposite side to a common crossbar 14, preferably welded.

Der Flügel 11 weist zwei verschiedene Bereiche zum Aufhängen von Wäschestücken auf. Einerseits bilden die Streben 12 einen ersten Bereich für große Wäschestücke aus, während auf der Seite zur Drehachse hin ein zweiter Bereich vorgesehen ist, an dem Querstreben 16 rahmenförmig umgeben sind, wobei die Querstreben 16 aus dünnem Draht gebildet sind und sich zum Aufhängen kleiner Wäschestücke eignen. Hierbei sind die äußeren Streben 13 des Flügels 11 verlängert ausgebildet und erstrecken sich mit einem Abschnitt 15 über die Querstange 14 hinaus. Dadurch sind die Querstreben 16 rahmenförmig von dem Abschnitt 15 und der Querstange 14 umgeben. An dem verlängerten Abschnitt 15 ist ferner ein Haltearm mit einer Drehachse 17 angeordnet, der an der Stange 4 befestigt wird.The wing 11 has two different areas for hanging laundry. On the one hand, the struts 12 form a first area for large items of laundry, while on the side towards the axis of rotation, a second area is provided, are surrounded on the transverse struts 16 like a frame, the cross struts 16 are formed of thin wire and are suitable for hanging small laundry items , In this case, the outer struts 13 of the wing 11 are formed extended and extend with a portion 15 beyond the crossbar 14 also. As a result, the transverse struts 16 are surrounded in a frame-shaped manner by the section 15 and the crossbar 14. On the extended portion 15, a holding arm is further arranged with a rotation axis 17 which is fixed to the rod 4.

Zum Aufstellen des Wäscheständers 1 werden die Flügel 11 ausgeklappt, wobei diese in einer im wesentlichen horizontalen Position durch Stützelemente fixiert werden können. Die Stützelemente sind durch zwei U-förmige Bügel 20 und 21 gebildet, die beabstandet voneinander angeordnet sind und um eine Achse 22 an einem Fußelement 2 oder 3 angelenkt sind. Der Bügel 20 ragt dabei zwischen die Abschnitte 15 hervor und liegt an der Querstange 14 an. Der etwas breiter ausgebildete Bügel 21 stützt hingegen den Abschnitt 15 nach unten hin ab, so dass der Flügel 11 in der in Figur 1 gezeigten Position sicher gehalten ist.To set up the clothes horse 1, the wings 11 are unfolded, which can be fixed in a substantially horizontal position by supporting elements. The support elements are formed by two U-shaped brackets 20 and 21, which are spaced from each other and are articulated about an axis 22 on a foot member 2 or 3. The bracket 20 protrudes between the sections 15 and is located on the crossbar 14 at. The somewhat wider bracket 21, on the other hand, supports the section 15 downwards, so that the wing 11 is securely held in the position shown in FIG.

Es ist auch möglich, den Flügel 11 in eine angehobene Position zu verschwenken und dort zu fixieren. Hierfür werden die Bügel 20 und 21 nicht an der Querstange 14 sondern an einer Querstrebe 16 des Flügels 11 angelegt, wie dies in Figur 2 dargestellt ist. Dadurch können auch längere Wäschestücke in einem größeren Abstand zum Boden an den Flügeln 11 aufgehangen werden.It is also possible to pivot the wing 11 in a raised position and to fix it there. For this purpose, the bracket 20 and 21 are not applied to the crossbar 14 but on a cross member 16 of the wing 11, as shown in Figure 2. As a result, longer items of laundry can be hung at a greater distance from the ground on the wings 11.

In den Figuren 4 und 5 ist eine weitere Ausführungsform eines Wäscheständers 1 gezeigt, bei dem lediglich die Flügel 11' gegenüber der ersten Ausführungsform leicht modifiziert sind. Die Flügel 11' weisen rohrförmige Streben 12 und 13 auf, in denen zur Verlängerung Stangen 30 eingefügt sind. Die Stangen 30 weisen eine Abdeckung 31 auf, die gegriffen werden kann, um die Stangen 30 in die eingefahrene oder ausgefahrene Position zu bewegen. Die Streben 12 und 13 sind somit teleskopierbar ausgebildet und die Fläche für aufzuhängende Wäschestücke kann vergrößert werden.In Figures 4 and 5, a further embodiment of a clothes horse 1 is shown, in which only the wings 11 'are slightly modified compared to the first embodiment. The wings 11 'have tubular struts 12 and 13, in which rods 30 are inserted for extension. The rods 30 have a cover 31 which can be gripped to move the rods 30 to the retracted or extended position. The struts 12 and 13 are thus formed telescopically and the surface for suspended laundry can be increased.

In Figur 6 ist eine weitere Ausführungsform eines Wäscheständers 1 gezeigt, bei dem die Flügel 11" noch weiter modifiziert sind. Die äußeren Streben 32 sind wellenförmig ausgebildet und weisen in regelmäßigen Abständen Vertiefungen 33 auf. In diese Vertiefungen 33 kann jeweils ein Kleiderbügel 34 eingehangen werden, so dass die Kleiderbügel 34 in regelmäßigen Abständen angeordnet sind. Es ist auch möglich, den Kleiderbügel 34 mit den Streben 32 zu verrasten, um eine zusätzliche Sicherung gegen ein Verschieben der Kleiderbügel 34 bei Windbelastungen zu schaffen.6 shows a further embodiment of a laundry rack 1, in which the wings 11 '' are further modified: the outer bars 32 are wave-shaped and have recesses 33 at regular intervals, into each of which a hanger 34 can be hung It is also possible to lock the hanger 34 with the struts 32 to provide additional protection against displacement of the hanger 34 under wind load conditions.

Die Streben 32 sind in einen rohrförmigen Abschnitt 15" des Flügels 11" eingesteckt, wobei an der Strebe 32 endseitig eine Abdeckung 35 aufgesteckt ist.The struts 32 are inserted into a tubular portion 15 "of the wing 11", wherein on the strut 32 end a cover 35 is attached.

In Figur 7 ist ein Wäscheständer gezeigt, bei dem nur ein Flügel 11 mit den Streben 12 versehen ist. Der andere Flügel 111 weist einen U-förmigen Rahmen auf, der durch zwei seitliche Rohrabschnitte 40 und einen abgebogenes Querrohr 41 gebildet ist. Zwischen den Rohrabschnitten 40 sind mehrere aus einem Drahtmaterial gebildete Querstreben 16 vorgesehen, so dass zum Aufhängen von Wäschestücken diese von oben eingefädelt werden müssen.In Figure 7, a drying rack is shown, in which only one wing 11 is provided with the struts 12. The other wing 111 has a U-shaped frame, which is formed by two lateral pipe sections 40 and a bent cross tube 41. Between the pipe sections 40 a plurality of transverse struts 16 formed of a wire material are provided, so that they must be threaded from above for hanging laundry items.

Die gezeigten Wäscheständer können natürlich auch miteinander kombiniert werden, beispielsweise können die Flügel 11, 11', 11" wahlweise miteinander vertauscht werden. Ferner ist es möglich, statt zwei benachbart angeordnete verschwenkbare Flügel 11 vorzusehen, ein Zwischenteil an dem Gestell anzuordnen, das einen Rahmen mit Querstreben ausbildet. Dann können die Flügel 11, 11' und 11" an gegenüberliegenden Seiten des Rahmens angelenkt werden.Of course, the drying stands shown can also be combined with one another, for example the wings 11, 11 ', 11 "can optionally be interchanged with one another.Furthermore, instead of two adjacently arranged pivotable wings 11, it is possible to arrange an intermediate part on the frame which forms a frame Then the wings 11, 11 'and 11 "can be hinged on opposite sides of the frame.

Zudem können die Flügel 11, 11' und 11" auch verschiebbar an einem Gestell gehalten sein oder über eine kombinierte Schiebe- und Schwenkbewegung entfaltet werden.In addition, the wings 11, 11 'and 11 "can also be slidably held on a frame or deployed via a combined sliding and pivoting movement.

In den Fig. 8 und 9 ist eine Ausführungsform eines erfindungsgemäßen Wäscheständers dargestellt. Der Wäscheständer umfasst ein Gestell mit einem im wesentlichen H-förmigen Träger, der aus Längsstreben 51 und einer mittleren Querstange 4''' gebildet ist. An der mittleren Querstange 4"' sind zwischen den Längsstreben 51 frei hängende Streben 12 festgelegt, die durch Schweißen, Kleben oder mechanische Befestigungsmittel fixiert sein können. Es ist auch möglich, die Querstange 4''' mit durchgehenden Öffnungen zu versehen, so dass die Streben 12 einstückig durch die Querstange 4''' hindurch gesteckt und etwa mittig fixiert werden können. Es ist natürlich auch möglich, die Querstange 4''' außermittig zu fixieren, so dass an dem längeren Teil der Strebe 12 breitere Wäschestücke aufgehangen werden können und die Querstange 4''' somit asymmetrisch angeordnet ist. Ferner können die Streben 12 auch verschiebbar an der Querstange 4''' gelagert sein, so dass eine individuelle Anpassung der freien Länge möglich ist.FIGS. 8 and 9 show an embodiment of a laundry rack according to the invention. The clothes horse comprises a frame with a substantially H-shaped support, which is formed by longitudinal struts 51 and a central cross bar 4 '' '. At the middle crossbar 4 "', freely suspended struts 12 are fixed between the longitudinal struts 51, which can be fixed by welding, gluing or mechanical fastening means It is of course also possible to fix the crossbar 4 '' 'off-center, so that on the longer part of the strut 12 wider pieces of laundry can be suspended and Furthermore, the struts 12 can also be displaceably mounted on the crossbar 4 '"so that an individual adaptation of the free length is possible.

An den parallelen Längsstreben 51 des H-förmigen Trägers sind jeweils am freien Ende Lagerelemente 50 angeordnet, an denen verschwenkbare Fußelemente 2''' und 3''' montiert sind. Dadurch kann der Wäscheständer aus in der Fig. 8 gezeigten aufgestellten Position in die in Fig. 9 gezeigte zusammengeklappte Position mit geringem Raumbedarf bewegt werden. Die Fußelemente 2''' und 3''' sind in der zusammengeklappten Position im wesentlichen parallel zu der H-förmigen Träger angeordnet.On the parallel longitudinal struts 51 of the H-shaped support bearing elements 50 are respectively arranged at the free end, on which pivotable foot elements 2 '' 'and 3' '' are mounted. Thereby, the clothes horse can be moved from the set-up position shown in FIG. 8 in the folded position shown in Fig. 9 with a small space requirement. The foot elements 2 '' 'and 3' '' are arranged in the folded position substantially parallel to the H-shaped carrier.

Bei dem in Fig. 10 gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel ist verglichen mit Fig. 8 ein Flügel 11''' mit Streben 12 versehen, die teleskopierbar sind. Hierfür ist in die rohrförmigen Streben 12 zur Verlängerung je eine Stange 30 mit einem verdickten Endabschnitt 31 eingefügt.In the embodiment shown in Fig. 10 is compared with Fig. 8, a wing 11 '''provided with struts 12 which are telescopic. For this purpose, a rod 30 is inserted with a thickened end portion 31 in the tubular struts 12 for extending each.

Wie Fig. 11 zeigt, können bei dem in Fig. 8 dargestellten Wäscheständer auch beidseitig teleskopierbare Streben 12 mit einschiebbaren Stangen 30 eingesetzt werden.As shown in FIG. 11, telescopic struts 12 with insertable rods 30 can also be used on both sides in the laundry rack shown in FIG.

Für eine höhere Stabilität ist es möglich, statt einer einzelnen Querstange 4"' zwei oder mehr voneinander beabstandete Querstangen 4''' einzusetzen, die dann Bestandteil des H-förmigen Trägers sind. Diese Querstangen 4"' können parallel angeordnet sein oder auch fachwerkartig verbunden werden.For greater stability, instead of a single crossbar 4 '', it is possible to insert two or more spaced-apart crossbars 4 '' ', which are then part of the H-shaped carrier.These crossbars 4' 'can be arranged in parallel or else connected like a truss become.

Zur Verlängerung der Streben kann statt einem Schiebemechanismus auch ein Klappmechanismus eingesetzt werden, bei dem die Stangen 30 an den Streben 12 angelenkt sind und zwischen einer eingeklappten Position benachbart zu den Streben 12 in eine ausgeklappte Position, vorzugsweise in Verlängerung der Streben 12, bewegt werden.To extend the struts instead of a sliding mechanism and a folding mechanism can be used, in which the rods 30 are hinged to the struts 12 and between a retracted position adjacent to the struts 12 in a deployed position, preferably in extension of the struts 12 moves.

Ferner ist es möglich, die Streben mit einer rutschhemmenden Oberfläche zu versehen, damit auch bei eine geneigten Stellung der Flügel 11, 11' und 11" gewährleistet ist, dass die Wäschestücke nicht zu einer Seite hin verrutschen. Die rutschhemmende Oberfläche kann durch eine Beschichtung der Metallstäbe, beispielsweise mit Gummimaterial, durch Noppen oder durch eine geeignete Wahl für das Material der Streben erfolgen.Furthermore, it is possible to provide the struts with an anti-slip surface, so that even with an inclined position of the wings 11, 11 'and 11 "it is ensured that the items of laundry do not slip to one side The anti-slip surface can be replaced by a coating of the Metal bars, for example, with rubber material, by nubs or by a suitable choice for the material of the struts done.
