Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Wäschetrocknungsgestell mit an einem aufrechten Mast über ein Gleitgelenk angelenkte Tragarme, die sich gegebenenfalls über Spreizarme an einem zweiten Gelenk am oberen Ende des Mastes abstützen und eine in Seilecken geführte Wäscheleine aufnehmen, wobei die Tragarme durch Verschieben des Gleitgelenkes von einer annähernd waagerechten, die Seilecken spannende in eine etwa senkrechte Stellung überführbar sind und dabei die herabhängenden Wäscheleinenabschnitte über Führungselemente in die Hohlräume zwischen den Tragarmen hineinleiten.The invention relates to a laundry drying rack with hinged on an upright mast via a sliding joint support arms, which optionally supported by spreader arms at a second joint at the upper end of the mast and record a guided in Seilecken clothesline, the support arms by moving the sliding joint of an approximately horizontal , the rope corners exciting in an approximately vertical position can be transferred and thereby pass the drooping clotheslines sections on guide elements in the cavities between the support arms.

Ein Wäschetrocknungsgestell ähnlicher Art ist zum Beispiel aus der CH-PS 390863 bekannt und in zahlreichen Ausführungsformen auf dem Markt präsent. Ein solches Wäschetrocknungsgestell kann von einer Gebrauchstellung, in welcher eine Wäscheleine zwischen vier abstehenden Tragarmen gespannt und somit zur Aufnahme der Wäsche bereit ist, in eine zusammengeklappte Ruhestellung gebracht werden, in der sich zwischen den Tragarmen erstreckende Wäscheleinenabschnitte lose herunterhängen. Nachteilig dabei ist, daß die lose herunterhängenden Wäscheleinenabschnitte dazu neigen, sich zu verwirren, daß sie einer Verschmutzung ausgesetzt sind, wenn das gesamte Wäschetrocknungsgestell nicht mit einer Hülle umschlossen wird, und daß ein dermaßen zusammengeklapptes Wäschetrocknungsgestell, wenn es am Gebrauchsort stehen gelassen wird, insgesamt unästhetisch und in Folge der ungeordnet herumhängenden Wäscheleinenabschnitte unordentlich wirkt.A laundry drying rack of a similar kind is for example from CH-PS 390863 known and present in numerous embodiments in the market. Such a laundry drying rack can be brought from a use position in which a clothesline between four protruding support arms and thus ready to receive the laundry, be brought into a collapsed rest position in which hanging down between the support arms clotheslines hang down loosely. A disadvantage is that the loose hanging clotheslines sections tend to be confused that they are exposed to contamination when the entire laundry drying rack is not enclosed with a shell, and that a thus folded laundry drying rack when it is left standing at the place of use, a total unaesthetically and as a result of the disorderly hanging clothesline sections messy acts.

Ein erster Ansatz, diesen Nachteil zu beseitigen, ist in der EP-A 0219571 aufgezeigt. Dabei wird die Wäscheleine beziehungsweise die Wäscheleinenabschnitte bei zusammengeklapptem Wäschetrocknungsgestell in zwischen den Tragarmen gebildete Hohlräume eingeführt und mit Blenden beziehungsweise Klappen abgedeckt. Damit werden zwar bei zusammengelegtem Wäschetrocknungsgestell die Wäscheleine beziehungsweise die Wäscheleinenabschnitte gegen Verschmutzung und Verwirrung geschützt und es wird auch ein ästhetisch ansprechendes Erscheinungsbild des zusammengelegten Wäschetrocknungsgestell erreicht, nachteilig ist aber, daß während des Zusammenklappens des Wäschetrocknungsgestells ein eindeutiges und sicheres Hineinleiten der lose herabhängenden Wäscheleinenabschnitte in die Hohlräume zwischen den Tragarmen nicht gewährleistet ist.A first approach to eliminate this disadvantage is in the EP-A 0219571 demonstrated. In this case, the clothesline or the clothesline sections is introduced when folded laundry drying rack formed in between the support arms cavities and covered with panels or flaps. Thus, although the clothesline or the clotheslines sections are protected against contamination and confusion in folded laundry drying rack and it is also an aesthetically pleasing appearance of the folded laundry drying rack achieved, but it is disadvantageous that during the collapse of the laundry drying rack a clear and safe introduction of the loosely hanging clotheslines sections in the Cavities between the support arms is not guaranteed.

In einer Weiterentwicklung dieser Ausführungsform ist nach der EP 0228494 B1 ein Wäschetrocknungsgestell der genannten Art bekannt, bei dem zumindest an einzelnen Tragarmen entlang dieser Tragarme verschiebbar gelagerte Führungselemente vorgesehen sind, die mit mindestens einem die Wäscheleinenabschnitte übergreifenden Mitnehmer versehen sind und die während des Beiklappens der Tragarme die lose herabhängenden Wäscheleinenabschnitte in die Hohlräume hineinleiten. Obwohl diese Lösung bereits seit 1986 bekannt ist, konnte sie bis heute nicht in die Praxis umgesetzt werden. Dabei ist wohl der Hauptnachteil, daß zwischen dem Führungselement beziehungsweise den den Leinenabschnitt übergreifenden Mitnehmer ein zu kleiner Leinenwinkel entsteht, so daß die Reibkräfte unerträglich hoch werden. Folge ist, daß zusätzlich ein Seilzug für die Führungselemente erforderlich wird.In a further development of this embodiment is according to the EP 0228494 B1 a laundry drying rack of the type mentioned, in which at least on individual support arms along these support arms slidably mounted guide elements are provided which are provided with at least one washing clothesline crossover driver and during the lapping of the support arms lead the loosely hanging clotheslines sections in the cavities. Although this solution has been known since 1986, it has not been put into practice until today. In this case, the main drawback is that between the guide element and the leash section crossover driver creates a too small line angle, so that the friction forces are unbearably high. The consequence is that in addition a cable for the guide elements is required.

Weiter ist nach der EP 1245715 A2 ein Wäschetrocknungsgestell bekannt, bei dem zum Einziehen der Wäscheleinenabschnitte an den Tragarmen Leinenfänger geführt sind, die beim Zusammenfalten des Wäschetrocknungsgestells die Wäscheleinenabschnitte geordnet einfangen sollen. Dieses Wäschetrocknungsgestell hat den Nachteil, daß sowohl beim Aufspannen, als auch beim Zusammenfalten an den verschiebbaren Leinenfänger große störende Reibungskräfte entstehen. Um diese zu überwinden, sind die Leinenfänger mit Hilfe eines Steuerseils zwangsgeführt, was zu einem erheblichen Bauaufwand und zu einer komplexen und anfälligen Konstruktion führt.Next is after the EP 1245715 A2 a clothes drying rack is known in which for feeding the clothesline sections are guided on the support arms linen catcher, which should catch the clothesline sections ordered when folding the laundry drying rack. This laundry drying rack has the disadvantage that both disturbing frictional forces arise during clamping, as well as when folding on the slidable linen catcher. To overcome this, the liners are forcibly guided by means of a control cable, which leads to a considerable construction effort and to a complex and susceptible construction.

Aus des deutschen Patentschrift DE 103 45 874 B3 ist ein Wäschetrocknungsgestell mit einem aufrechten Mast und mit über ein Gleitgelenk angelenkten Tragarmen, die sich über Spreizarme an einem zweiten Gelenk am oberen Ende des Mastes abstützen, bekannt. Die Tragarme tragen zu Seilecken ausgebildete Wäscheleinen und sind durch Verschieben des Gleitgelenks von einer annähernd waagerechten, die Seilecken spannende, in eine etwa senkrechte Stellung überführbar, wobei die herabhängenden Wäscheleinenabschnitte über Führungselemente in hohe Räume zwischen den Tragarmen hineingleiten. Es ist vorgesehen, daß die Führungselemente jeweils einen Tragarm übergreifend beidseitig an den Wäscheleinenabschnitten geführt sind.From the German patent DE 103 45 874 B3 is a laundry drying rack with an upright mast and articulated via a slide joint support arms which are supported by spreading arms to a second joint at the upper end of the mast known. The support arms wear clotheslines formed to rope corners and are by moving the slide from an approximately horizontal, the rope corners exciting, in an approximately vertical position, the drooping clothesline sections slide over guide elements in high spaces between the support arms. It is envisaged that the guide elements are guided in each case a support arm across both sides of the clothesline sections.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein derartiges Wäschetrocknungsgestell zu schaffen, bei dem mit einfachsten Mitteln die Wäscheleinenabschnitte beim Beiklappen der Tragarme in die zwischen den Tragarmen entstehenden Hohlräume geleitet werden und ein Einklemmen zwischen den Tragarmen sowie ein verheddern sicher verhindert wird.The object of the invention is to provide such a laundry drying rack in which the clotheslines sections are routed to the simplest means in the folding of the support arms in the resulting between the support arms cavities and trapping between the support arms and a tangle is reliably prevented.

Dies wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch erreicht, daß die Führungselemente jeweils einen Tragarm übergreifend beidseitig an den Wäscheleinenabschnitten geführt sind, und pro Seileck zumindest jeweils zwei gegenüberliegende und am äußersten Seileck vier Führungselemente vorgesehen sind.This is inventively achieved in that the guide elements in each case a support arm are performed on both sides of the clothesline sections, and per rope corner at least two opposite and the outermost rope corner four guide elements are provided.

Dadurch, daß nur auf dem äußersten Seileck vier Führungselemente vorgesehen sind, während bei den weiteren Seilecken nur jeweils zwei gegenüberliegende Führungselemente angeordnet sind, wird erreicht, daß sich beim Faltvorgang des Wäschetrocknungsgestells die Leine des äußersten Seileckes jeweils diagonal über die Leinen der inneren Seilecke legen und damit verhindern, daß die Leinen der inneren Seilecke über die Hohlräume zwischen den Tragarmen herauspendeln. Die Wäscheleinenabschnitte werden zuverlässig und ohne weiteres zutun durch die Bedienungsperson in die Hohlräume zwischen den Tragarmen eingezogen und am Herauspendeln gehindert. Durch die insgesamt geringe Anzahl an Führungselementen werden die Gesamtreibungskräfte zwischen Leine und Führungselementen vernachlässigbar gering, so daß die Funktion ohne zusätzlichen Seilzug oder sonstigen Antrieb sichergestellt ist.The fact that four guide elements are provided only on the outermost rope corner, while in the other rope corners only two opposing guide elements are arranged, it is achieved that lie in the folding process of the laundry drying rack, the line of the outermost Seileckes each diagonally across the lines of the inner corner rope and thus preventing the lines of the inner corner of the rope from swinging out of the cavities between the suspension arms. The clothesline sections are reliably and readily input by the operator drawn into the cavities between the support arms and prevented from swinging out. Due to the overall small number of guide elements, the total friction forces between the line and guide elements are negligible, so that the function is ensured without additional cable or other drive.

Weitere Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen. So wird durch die Verwendung eines ovalen Ringes als Führungselement eine besonders kostengünstige Lösung ermöglicht. Der Ring läuft dabei frei auf den Wäscheteinenabschnitten und zieht durch die Schwerkraft beim Zusammenklappen des Wäschetrocknungsgestells die Leinenabschnitte zwischen die Tragarme.Further embodiments of the invention can be found in the dependent claims. Thus, a particularly cost-effective solution is made possible by the use of an oval ring as a guide element. The ring runs freely on the Wäschetinenabschnitten and pulls by the force of gravity when folding the laundry drying rack, the linen sections between the support arms.

In einer weiteren Ausführungsform bestehen die Führungselemente aus zwei über eine Brücke verbundene Gleitösen. Diese Brücke kann sowohl als Drahtbiegeteil als auch als Kunststoffteil ausgeführt sein. Besonders bei der Ausführung als Kunststoffteil sind alle Designanforderungen besonders leicht zu berücksichtigen. Besonders zweckmäßig ist es dabei, die Brücke gleitend auf der Außenseite der Tragarme zu führen. Dies ist besonders dann von Vorteil, wenn die Tragarme durch zusätzliche Spreizarme gegen den Mast abgestützt sind. Es können dadurch auch Seilecke, die innerhalb dieser Stützarme liegen, erfaßt werden. Um im geschlossenen Zustand des Wäschetrocknungsgestelles ein einheitliches Bild zu erlangen und die Wäscheleine vollkommen zu stützen, sind auf der Außenseite der Tragarme die Hohlräume abdeckende Blenden angeordnet.In a further embodiment, the guide elements consist of two sliding eyes connected by a bridge. This bridge can be designed both as a wire bending part and as a plastic part. Particularly in the design as a plastic part, all design requirements are particularly easy to consider. It is particularly expedient to guide the bridge sliding on the outside of the support arms. This is particularly advantageous if the support arms are supported by additional spreader arms against the mast. It can also rope corners that are within these support arms are detected. In order to obtain a uniform image in the closed state of the laundry drying rack and to fully support the clothesline, the apertures covering the cavities are arranged on the outside of the support arms.

Die Figur 1 zeigt - wie auch alle weiteren Figuren in schematisierter Darstellung - ein Wäschetrocknungsgestell mit einem vertikalen Mast 1, an dem über ein Gleitgelenk 2 Tragarme 3 angebracht sind, die sich über Spreizarme 4 an einem zweiten Gelenk 5 am oberen Ende 6 des Mastes 1 abstützen und, eine in Seilecke 7, 7' geführte Wäscheleine 8 aufnehmen. Die Seilecke 7, 7' sind über ihre Eckpunkte 9 in de.n Tragarmen 3 festgelegt.The FIG. 1 shows - as well as all other figures in a schematic representation - a laundry drying rack with a vertical mast 1, on which via a sliding joint 2 support arms 3 are mounted, which are supported by spreading arms 4 at a second joint 5 at the upper end 6 of the mast 1 and, a clothesline 8 guided in rope corner 7, 7 'record. The rope corners 7, 7 'are defined by their vertices 9 in de.n support arms 3.

Die Tragarme 3 übergreifend sind Führungselemente 10 vorgesehen, die beidseitig der Tragarme an den Wäscheleinenabschnitten 11 geführt sind. Die Führungselemente 10 sind an zwei gegenüberliegenden Tragarmen 3 an jedem Seileck 7, 7' und an den beiden anderen Tragarmen 3' nur am äußersten Seileck 7' vorgesehen.The support arms 3 cross guide elements 10 are provided, which are guided on both sides of the support arms on the clothesline sections 11. The guide elements 10 are provided on two opposite support arms 3 on each rope corner 7, 7 'and on the other two support arms 3' only at the outermost rope corner 7 '.

Die Führungselemente 10 sind gemäß den Ausführungsbeispielen (Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3 und Fig. 6) als Brücke 12 mit zwei die Wäscheleinenabschnitte 11 voll umfassenden Ösen 13 ausgebildet. Die Brücke 12 liegt mit ihrem Gleitbereich 14 auf der Außenseite 15 des Tragarms 3 an. Dabei können die Führungselemente 10 wie im Beispiel nach Fig. 6 als Drahtbiegeteil als auch wie in den Fig. 1, 2 und 3 dargestellt als Kunststoffteil beziehungsweise Formteil, wozu sich natürlich auch jedes andere brauchbare Material anbietet, ausgebildet sein.The guide elements 10 are according to the embodiments ( Fig. 1 . Fig. 2 . Fig. 3 and Fig. 6 ) formed as a bridge 12 with two washing clothes sections 11 fully comprehensive eyelets 13. The bridge 12 rests with its sliding region 14 on the outer side 15 of the support arm 3. In this case, the guide elements 10 as in the example Fig. 6 as a wire bending part as well as in the Fig. 1 . 2 and 3 represented as a plastic part or molding, including, of course, any other useful material offers to be trained.

In den Fig. 4 und 5 ist eine Alternativlösung eines Führungselementes 10 dargestellt. Dieses besteht hierbei lediglich aus einem Ring 16, rund, oval oder auch langgezogen, der auf zwei benachbarte Wäscheleinenabschnitte geführt ist.In the Fig. 4 and 5 an alternative solution of a guide element 10 is shown. This consists only of a ring 16, round, oval or elongated, which is guided on two adjacent clotheslines sections.

Durch die beidseitige Führung der Führungselemente, also jeweils links und rechts des Tragarmes, so daß zwei Wäscheleinenabschnitte, 11' und 11 ", erfaßt werden, wird ein großer Wirkungswinkel ermöglicht, so daß die Reibungskräfte drastisch verringert werden und somit die Führungselemente 10 beim Zusammenfalten des Wäschetrocknungsgestelles durch die Schwerkraft die Wäscheleinenabschnitte in die Hohlräume 18 ziehen. Ebenso leicht gleiten die Führungselemente 10 beim Aufspannen des Wäschetrocknungsgestells in ihre tragarmnahe Lage zurück, ohne daß Selbsthämmung eintritt.Due to the two-sided leadership of the guide elements, ie each left and right of the support arm, so that two clothesline sections, 11 'and 11 ", are detected, a large angle of action is made possible, so that the friction forces are drastically reduced and thus the guide elements 10 when folding the Laundry drying rack by gravity pull the clothesline sections into the cavities 18. Just as easily slide the guide elements 10 during clamping of the laundry drying rack in their Tragarmnahe situation without self-locking occurs.

Zum weiteren Schutz der Wäscheleinenabschnitte 11 im Ruhezustand sind auf der Außenseite 15 der Tragarme 3 Blenden 19 angeordnet.For further protection of the clothesline sections 11 in the idle state, panels 19 are arranged on the outer side 15 of the support arms 3.
