Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Trocknen von Wäschestücken, mit einem durch Seile oder Stäbe gebildeten Hängegitter, Mitteln für die hängende Befestigung an oberhalb des Hängegitters vorgesehenen Befestigungseinrichtungen und mit einer zwischen den Befestigungseinrichtungen und dem Hängegitter angeordneten Einrichtung zum Heben und Senken.The invention relates to a device for drying laundry, with a hanging grid formed by ropes or rods, means for hanging attachment to fastening devices provided above the hanging rail and with a device arranged between the fastening devices and the hanging rail for lifting and lowering.

Bekannte Vorrichtungen dieser Art haben ein Hängegitter das an Seilen, Ketten o.dgl. aufgehängt ist, die über Rollen im Bereich der Raumdecke geführt sind, so dass es heb- und senkbar ist. In der abgesenkten Position kann Wäsche an dem Hängegitter befestigt werden, und zum Trocknen oder bei Nichtgebrauch wird das Hängegitter zur Raumdecke nach oben gezogen. Dieses Aufhängen an Seilen hat den Nachteil, dass das Hängegitter beim Befestigen von Wäschestücken keine stabile Position einhält, sondern allseitig gerichtete Pendelbewegungen ausführen kann.Known devices of this type have a hanging grid or the like on ropes, chains. is suspended, which are guided over rollers in the area of the ceiling, so that it can be raised and lowered. In the lowered position, laundry can be attached to the hanging rail, and the drying rail is pulled up to the ceiling to dry or when not in use. This hanging on ropes has the disadvantage that the hanging rail does not hold a stable position when attaching laundry items, but rather can perform pendulum movements directed in all directions.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung der genannten Art so zu verbessern, dass ihr Hängegitter stets eine stabile Hängeposition einnimt, so dass das Befestigen der Wäschestücke vereinfacht wird und es dennoch zu einer raumsparenden Einheit in eine obere Position gezogen werden kann. Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt aufgrund der kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Patentansprüche und der folgenden Beschreibung anhand der Zeichnungen entnehmbar. Es zeigt:

The invention has for its object to improve a device of the type mentioned so that its hanging grid always takes a stable hanging position, so that the attachment of the laundry is simplified and it can still be pulled into a space-saving unit in an upper position. This object is achieved on the basis of the characterizing features of patent claim 1. Advantageous refinements of the invention are the subject of the dependent patent claims and the following description, which can be found in the drawings. It shows:
  • 1 shows a side view of a first embodiment of a device according to the invention,
  • 2 shows an enlarged and more detailed illustration of part of the side view according to FIG. 1,
  • 3 shows an illustration of the area of the device shown in FIG. 2 in a side view rotated by 90 °,
  • 4 shows a schematic perspective illustration of an embodiment similar to the former, with a crank drive and with hanging grid and which can be enlarged in two directions
  • 5 shows a side view of an embodiment of the invention with telescoping rod elements.

Beim Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig.1 ist das nicht vollständig dargestellte Hängegitter 1 mit den Befestigungseinrichtungen 2,3 und damit mit der Raumdecke 4 durch ein Traggestänge verbunden, das aus zwei Gestängeeinrichtungen 5 und 6 besteht, die an einem zentralen Profilbalken 7 des Hängegitters angelenkt sind. Für die Bildung des vollständigen Hängegitters ist auf nicht dargestellte Weise an den beiden Enden des zentralen Profilbalkens 7 in T-Form ein Querstab 8 befestigt, der somit die Schmalseiten eines rechteckförmigen Hängegitters 1 bildet und der der Befestigung der Seile zum Aufhängen der Wäschestücke dient.In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 1, the hanging grid 1, which is not shown in full, is connected to the fastening devices 2, 3 and thus to the ceiling 4 by a supporting linkage which consists of two linkage devices 5 and 6 which are articulated on a central profile beam 7 of the hanging grid. To form the complete hanging grid, a cross bar 8 is fastened to the two ends of the central profile beam 7 in a T-shape in a manner not shown, which thus forms the narrow sides of a rectangular hanging grid 1 and which serves to fasten the ropes for hanging the laundry items.

Im dargestellten Beispiel schliesst der zentrale Profilbalken 7 beidseitig teleskopartig je einen Verlängerungsstab 9 ein, an dessen Enden der Querstab 8 befestigt ist, so dass die Grösse des Hängegitters 1 den jeweiligen Gegebenheiten des Montageortes optimal angepasst werden kann. Um diese Grössenanpassung zu ermöglichen, werden Seile zum Aufhängen der Wäsche erst nach Einstellung der Grösse des Rahmens des Hängegitters 1 zwischen den einander gegenüberliegenden Querstäben 8 eingezogen.In the example shown, the central profile beam 7 telescopically includes an extension rod 9 on each side, at the ends of which the cross rod 8 is fastened, so that the size of the hanging rail 1 can be optimally adapted to the particular circumstances of the installation site. To enable this size adjustment, ropes for hanging up the laundry are only drawn in between the mutually opposite cross bars 8 after the size of the frame of the hanging grid 1 has been adjusted.

Für grössere Maximalabmessungen des Hängegitters von z.B. mehr als zwei Metern und einem entsprechend grösseren Maximalgewicht mit aufgehängter nasser Wäsche können entsprechend der Darstellung der Fig.4 anstatt von zwei insgesamt vier Gestängeeinrichtungen 5',6',5" vorgesehen sein, die jeweils an einem Eckbereich 10 bis 12 eines Zentralrahmens 13 angelenkt sind.For larger maximum dimensions of the hanging rail e.g. More than two meters and a correspondingly greater maximum weight with suspended wet laundry can be provided, as shown in FIG. 4, instead of two total of four linkage devices 5 ', 6', 5 ", each articulated to a corner region 10 to 12 of a central frame 13 are.

Der Rahmen des Hängegitters 1' des Ausführungsbeispieles nach Fig.4 ist in vier Richtungen vergrösserbar, mit jeweils zwei entgegengesetzten Richtungen, indem sowohl in längsgerichteten Profilstäben 15,16 als auch in querverlaufenden Profilstäben 17,18 jeweils zwei Verlängerungsstäbe 19,20,21 bzw. 22,23,24 teleskopartig eingeschlossen sind. Die Einstellposition der Verlängerungsstäbe 19 bis 24 kann durch nichtdargestellte Klemmschrauben oder durch einen Klemmhebel 25 gesichert werden. Durch die Ausziehbarkeit der Verlängerungsstäbe 19,20,21 kann auch die Spannung der Wäscheseile 26 nachträglich korrigiert werden. Diese durch Strichlinien in Fig.4 angedeuteten Wäscheseile 26 werden bei der Montage der Vorrichtung und nach der Grösseneinstellung des Rahmens des Hängegitters 1,1' eingezogen.The frame of the hanging grid 1 'of the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 4 can be enlarged in four directions, each with two opposite directions, by using two extension bars 19, 20, 21 or in longitudinal profile bars 15, 16 and in transverse profile bars 17, 18, respectively. 22,23,24 are included telescopically. The setting position of the extension rods 19 to 24 can be secured by clamping screws (not shown) or by a clamping lever 25. Because the extension rods 19, 20, 21 can be pulled out, the tension of the laundry ropes 26 can also be subsequently corrected. These laundry ropes 26, indicated by broken lines in FIG. 4, are drawn in during assembly of the device and after the size of the frame of the hanging grid 1, 1 '.

Die somit gegebene mehrseitige Verstellbarkeit ermöglicht eine vollständige bzw. optimale Ausnutzung des für die Montage der Vorrichtung und damit des zum Trocken von Wäsche zur Verfügung stehenden Raumes.The multi-sided adjustability thus provided enables a complete or optimal utilization of the space available for mounting the device and thus the space available for drying laundry.

Die Ausführung der Gestängeeinrichtungen 5,6,5',6',5" und einer als Seilzugsystem ausgeführten Einrichtüng zum Heben und Senken des Hängegitters 1,1' ist in den Fig.2 und 3 näher dargestellt. Die Befestigungseinrichtungen 2,3,2' haben eine u-förmigen Halter 27, durch dessen Quersteg 28 Befestigungsschrauben geführt sind, die in die Raumdecke 4 eingreifen. Damit die Befestigungsschrauben und ihre Verankerung in der Raumdecke aufgrund der erfindungsgemäss erzielten Stabilität der Vorrichtung nicht durch quer auf die Gestängeeinrichtungen 5,6, 5',6',5" wirkende Kräfte überlastet werden können, ist ein Lagerkörper 29 für die schwenkbare Lagerung des oberen Stabelementes 30 der jeweiligen Gestängeeinrichtung 5,6 sowie einer Rolle 31 des Seilzugssystems selbst schwenkbar um eine Achse 32 gehalten, die senkrecht zu der Schwenkachse 33 des oberen Stabelementes gerichtet ist.The design of the linkage devices 5, 6, 5 ', 6', 5 "and a device designed as a cable pull system for lifting and lowering the hanging grid 1, 1 'is shown in more detail in FIGS. 2 and 3. The fastening devices 2, 3, 2 have a U-shaped holder 27, through the transverse web 28 of which fastening screws are inserted, which engage in the ceiling 4. So that the fastening screws and their anchoring in the ceiling, due to the stability of the device achieved according to the invention, not by transverse to the rod devices 5, 6, 5 ', 6', 5 "acting forces can be overloaded, a bearing body 29 for the pivotable mounting of the upper rod element 30 of the respective linkage device 5, 6 and a roller 31 of the cable system itself is pivotally held about an axis 32 which is perpendicular to the Swing Kachse 33 of the upper rod element is directed.

Der Lagerkörper 29 ist beispielsweise aus einer Platte geformt, so dass er in einander entgegengesetzer Richtung und um 90° verdreht jeweils ein Schenkelpaar 35,36 und 37,38 aufweist. Das obere Schenkelpaar 35,36 greift zwischen die Schenkel 39,40 des Halters 27 ein, während das untere Schenkel paar 37,38 zwischen sich das obere Ende des Stabelementes 30 sowie die Seilzugrolle 31 einschliesst.The bearing body 29 is formed, for example, from a plate, so that it has a pair of legs 35, 36 and 37, 38 in each case in the opposite direction and rotated by 90 °. The upper pair of legs 35, 36 engages between the legs 39, 40 of the holder 27, while the lower pair of legs 37, 38 includes the upper end of the rod element 30 and the cable pulley 31 between them.

Die Schenkel 35 bis 40 dienen auch der Lagerung der genannten Achsen 32 bzw. 33. Ausserdem erstreckt sich zwischen den unteren Schenkeln 37,38 ein Anschlagbolzen 42, an dem das obere Ende des oberen Stabelementes 30 einen Anschlag in einer Position findet, die der maximalen Streckposition der betreffenden Gestängeeinrichtung 5,6 entspricht. In dieser maximal gestrekkten Position bilden die beiden knieförmig miteinander verbundenen Stabelemente 30,44 einen stumpfen Winkel, der es ermöglicht, dass sie mittels des Seilzugsystems sich leicht in eine zusammengelegte Form ziehen lassen, wenn sich das Hängegitter 1,1 in seiner obersten Ruheposition befindet. Für die Einhaltung des stumpfen Winkels ist im Bereich des Kniegelenks 45 ein zweiter Anschlagbolzen 46 vorgesehen, an dem das obere Ende des unteren Stabelementes 44 einen Anschlag findet. Auch dieser Anschlagbolzen 46 erstreckt sich zwischen einem Paar von Schenkeln 47,48, indem das obere Stabelement 30 durch ein U-Profil, z.B. aus Aluminium, gebildet ist. Wenn in unterster Position des Hängegitters 1,1' beide Stabelemente 30,44 an dem zugehörigen Anschlagbolzen 42, 46 anliegen, bildet das Traggestänge der erfindungsgemässen Vorrichtung ein starres, das Aufhängen der Wäsche erleichterndes Gebilde.The legs 35 to 40 also serve to support the mentioned axes 32 and 33. In addition, a stop bolt 42 extends between the lower legs 37, 38, on which the upper end of the upper rod element 30 finds a stop in a position which is the maximum Stretching position of the relevant linkage device 5.6 corresponds. In this maximally stretched position, the two knee-shaped rod elements 30, 44 form an obtuse angle, which makes it possible for them to be easily pulled into a folded shape by means of the cable pull system when the hanging grid 1, 1 is in its uppermost rest position. To maintain the obtuse angle, a second stop pin 46 is provided in the area of the knee joint 45, on which the upper end of the lower rod element 44 finds a stop. This stop pin 46 also extends between a pair of legs 47, 48 by the upper rod element 30 being connected by a U-profile, e.g. made of aluminum. If, in the lowest position of the hanging grid 1, 1 ', both rod elements 30, 44 rest on the associated stop bolts 42, 46, the supporting linkage of the device according to the invention forms a rigid structure which makes it easier to hang up the laundry.

Das untere Stabelement 44 hat ebenfalls ein U-Profil und greift mit seinem oberen Ende zwischen die Profilschenkel 47, 48 des oberen Stabelementes 30 ein, während das untere Ende von den nach oben gerichteten Schenkeln 49,50 eines Anlenkkörpers 51 formschlüssig umfasst ist und mittels einer sich zwischen diesen Schenkeln 49,50 erstrecktenden Achse 52 in ihm angelenkt ist.The lower rod element 44 also has a U-shaped profile and engages with its upper end between the profile legs 47, 48 of the upper rod element 30, while the lower end is positively embraced by the upwardly directed legs 49, 50 of an articulated body 51 and by means of a axis 52 extending between these legs is articulated in it.

Die Anlenkkörper 51 von zwei in Richtung parallel zu den Wäscheseilen 26 einander gegenüberliegenden Gestängeeinrichtungen 5,6 umschliessen jeweils ein Ende eines zentralen Profilbalkens 7 nach Fig.1 oder ein Ende eines Profilstabes 15,16 des Rahmens 13 nach Fig.4, wie Fig.3 gezeigt ist. Ausserdem können an den Anlenkkörpern 51 die erwähnten Mittel (25) zum Festklemmen eines von dem Profilstab 7,15,16 auf mindestens einem Teil seiner Länge umschlossenen Verlängerungsstabes 9 bzw. 19,20,21 vorgesehen sein.The articulation bodies 51 of two linkage devices 5, 6 opposite each other in the direction parallel to the laundry ropes 26 each enclose one end of a central profile beam 7 according to FIG. 1 or one end of a profile bar 15, 16 of the frame 13 according to FIG. 4, as shown in FIG is shown. In addition, the aforementioned means (25) for clamping an extension rod 9 or 19, 20, 21 enclosed by the profile bar 7, 15, 16 on at least part of its length can be provided on the articulation bodies 51.

Das Seilzugsystem zum Heben und Senken des Hängegitters 1,1' hat für jedes Paar von Gestängeeinrichtungen 5,6; 5',6'; 5",6" zwei Seilstränge 54,55; 56,57,58, deren Ende 60,61 an dem Anlenkkörper 51 befestigt ist und die über jeweils die Rolle 31 des oberen Lagerkörpers 29 geführt sind. Um beide Seilstränge gleichzeitig zum Heben und Senken des Hängegitters 1,1' betätigen zu können, so dass dieses seine horizontale Ausrichtung beibehält, sind beide Seilstränge z.B. an der Stelle 62 fest miteinander verbunden. Von dieser Verbindungsstelle 62 aus ist einer der Seilstränge weiter und nach unten geführt, so dass dieser Seilbereich ein Betätigungsstück 63, 64 bildet. Beim Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig.1 bis 3 dient ein solches Betätigungsstück 63 der Handbetätigung, und es hat eine knotenartig verdickte Stelle 64 zum Arretieren durch Eingriff in eine Halteklaue 65 am Anlenkkörper 51.The cable system for lifting and lowering the hanging rail 1.1 'has 5.6 for each pair of linkage devices; 5 ', 6'; 5 ", 6" two rope strands 54.55; 56,57,58, the end 60,61 of which is fastened to the articulation body 51 and which are each guided over the roller 31 of the upper bearing body 29. In order to be able to actuate both rope strands simultaneously to raise and lower the hanging rail 1, 1 'so that it maintains its horizontal orientation, both rope strands are e.g. firmly connected to each other at position 62. From this connection point 62, one of the rope strands is guided further and downward, so that this rope area forms an actuating piece 63, 64. In the exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 3, such an actuating piece 63 is used for manual actuation, and it has a knot-like thickened point 64 for locking by engagement in a holding claw 65 on the articulation body 51.

Bei grösseren möglichen Maximalabmessungen des Hängegitters 1' von z.B. drei Metern oder mehr ist vorzugsweise für das jeweilige Betätigungsstück 64 des Seilzugs eine Wickelrolle 66 vorgesehen, die über eine Welle 67,68 mit einer Antriebseinrichtung 69 verbunden ist. Diese Antriebseinrichtung 69 besteht beispielsweise aus einem Getriebe mit einer Kurbelöse zum lösbaren Einhaken einer langgestreckten Handkurbel 70, wie es für Markisenbetätigungen an sich bekannt ist.With larger possible maximum dimensions of the hanging grid 1 'of e.g. three meters or more, a winding roller 66 is preferably provided for the respective actuating piece 64 of the cable pull, which is connected to a drive device 69 via a shaft 67, 68. This drive device 69 consists, for example, of a transmission with a crank eye for releasably hooking an elongated hand crank 70, as is known per se for awning operations.
