Abstract

The frame has a fixation unit for fixing racking threads (41-44) to top parts e.g. horizontal rods (13) of inverted U-shaped reinforcements. The reinforcements are connected by left and right longitudinal members (31, 32). Each longitudinal member is fixed to one of left and right arms (11, 12, 21, 22) of each of the reinforcements. One of the reinforcements is dismountable so as to be assembled from its top parts and arms. The longitudinal members are provided with tracing wheels, and fixed on the reinforcements in a removable manner.

Description

La présente invention concerne un étendoir ambulant.The present invention relates to a mobile drying rack.

On connaît de nombreux types d'étendoirs.Many types of clotheslines are known.

Les étendoirs maçonnés présentent l'avantage d'être particulièrement robustes. Par contre, il est nécessaire de réaliser une maçonnerie, opération qui n'est pas à la portée de tout un chacun. Une autre limitation de ces étendoirs tient au fait qu'on ne peut pas les déplacer.The masonry drying machines have the advantage of being particularly robust. On the other hand, it is necessary to realize a masonry, operation which is not within the reach of everyone. Another limitation of these clotheslines is that they can not be moved.

Ainsi, les étendoirs ambulants ont vu le jour.Thus, the mobile clotheslines were born.

En premier lieu, certains étendoirs ambulants comportent des éléments mobiles, tels ceux en forme de parapluie. Dès qu'il y a des éléments mobiles, la fiabilité n'est plus garantie car ces éléments vont se coincer un jour ou l'autre. Ainsi, le gain de place obtenu lorsque l'étendoir est replié se fait au détriment de la longévité du matériel.In the first place, certain mobile drying clothes comprise mobile elements, such as those in the form of an umbrella. As soon as there are moving parts, reliability is no longer guaranteed because these elements will get stuck one day or the other. Thus, the space saving obtained when the clothes rack is folded is at the expense of the longevity of the equipment.

En second lieu, d'autres étendoirs ambulants sont dépourvus d'éléments mobiles. Un châssis d'étendoir connu comporte, en vis-à-vis, deux armatures en forme de rectangle. Ces deux rectangles sont reliés à leurs sommets par deux longerons. Il s'ensuit qu'il faut dix traverses pour réaliser le châssis, quatre pour chaque rectangle et deux pour les longerons.In the second place, other traveling clotheslines are devoid of moving parts. A known rack frame has, opposite, two reinforcements in the form of a rectangle. These two rectangles are connected to their vertices by two longitudinal members. It follows that it takes ten sleepers to make the frame, four for each rectangle and two for the longitudinal members.

On connaît également le document FR 1 295 969 qui décrit un procédé d'assemblage d'éléments d'objets en tubes, tels que porte-serviettes et analogues, et des objets obtenus selon ce procédé. Le porte-serviettes décrit comporte, en vis-à-vis, deux arceaux en forme de U inversé. Ces arceaux sont reliés par des barres transversales et sont aussi reliés par deux assemblages qui chacun raccorde une branche de l'un des arceaux avec une branche de l'autre arceau. Le premier assemblage se présente comme un U dont les deux montants sont reliés non seulement par la base du U mais également par une traverse. De même, le deuxième assemblage se présente comme un U dont les deux montants sont reliés non seulement par la base du U mais également par une traverse. Ici encore, il faut de nombreux éléments pour réaliser le porte-serviettes.The document is also known FR 1 295 969 which describes a method of assembling elements of objects in tubes, such as towel rails and the like, and objects obtained by this method. The described towel rail comprises, opposite, two inverted U-shaped arches. These arches are connected by transverse bars and are also connected by two assemblies which each connects a branch of one of the arches with a branch of the other arch. The first assembly is presented as a U whose two uprights are connected not only by the base of the U but also by a cross. Similarly, the second assembly is a U whose two uprights are connected not only by the base of the U but also by a cross. Here again, it takes many elements to make the towel rack.

La présente invention a ainsi pour objet un étendoir ambulant sans pièces mobiles qui procure une économie très sensible quant à la quantité de matière requise pour sa fabrication.The present invention thus relates to a mobile drying room without moving parts which provides a very sensitive economy as to the amount of material required for its manufacture.

Selon l'invention, un châssis d'étendoir ambulant comporte, en vis-à-vis, deux armatures en forme de U inversé, châssis prévu pour la fixation des fils d'étendage entre les sommets de ces armatures ; les deux armatures sont exclusivement reliées par deux longerons, chaque longeron étant fixé à une branche de chaque armature.According to the invention, a traveling drying rack frame comprises, opposite, two U-shaped reinforcements inverted, frame provided for fixing the spreading son between the tops of these frames; the two frames are exclusively connected by two longitudinal members, each spar being attached to a branch of each armature.

Maintenant, il ne faut plus que huit traverses pour réaliser le châssis, trois pour chaque armature et deux pour les longerons.Now it only takes eight sleepers to make the frame, three for each frame and two for the rails.

De préférence, le châssis comporte des moyens de fixation pour les fils d'étendage au sommet des armatures.Preferably, the frame comprises fastening means for the spreading son at the top of the frames.

Suivant un mode de réalisation privilégié, l'une au moins des armatures est démontable pour être assemblée à partir de son sommet et de ses deux branches.According to a preferred embodiment, at least one of the frames is removable to be assembled from its top and its two branches.

De même, les longerons sont fixés de manière amovible sur les armatures.Similarly, the side members are removably attached to the frames.

Avantageusement, les longerons sont démontables.Advantageously, the side members are removable.

Pour faciliter le déplacement de l'étendoir, on peut prévoir des roulettes sur les longerons.To facilitate the movement of the clothes rack, we can provide wheels on the side members.

La présente invention apparaîtra maintenant avec plus de détails dans le cadre de la description qui suit d'un exemple de réalisation donné à titre illustratif en se référant à l'unique figure annexée qui représente un schéma en perspective d'un étendoir ambulant selon l'invention.The present invention will now appear in greater detail in the context of the following description of an exemplary embodiment given by way of illustration with reference to the single appended figure which represents a perspective diagram of a traveling drying rack according to the invention. invention.

En référence à la figure 1, au premier plan, une première armature a la forme d'un U à l'envers. Elle comporte un premier bras gauche 11, un premier bras droit 12, ces deux bras verticaux étant reliés à leurs sommets par une première barre 13 horizontale.With reference to the figure 1 in the foreground, a first frame in the shape of a U upside down. It comprises a first left arm 11, a first right arm 12, these two vertical arms being connected at their vertices by a first horizontal bar 13.

A l'arrière plan, une deuxième armature est identique à la première. Elle comporte donc un second bras gauche 21, un second bras droit 22, ces deux bras verticaux étant reliés à leurs sommets par une deuxième barre 23 horizontale.In the background, a second frame is identical to the first. It therefore comprises a second left arm 21, a second right arm 22, these two vertical arms being connected at their vertices by a second horizontal bar 23.

Un longeron gauche 31 relie le pied du premier bras gauche 11 et celui du second bras gauche 21. Un longeron droit 32, préférentiellement de même longueur que le longeron gauche 31, relie le pied du premier bras droit 12 et celui du second bras droit 22.A left spar 31 connects the foot of the first left arm 11 and that of the second left arm 21. A right spar 32, preferably of the same length as the left spar 31, connects the foot of the first right arm 12 and that of the second right arm 22 .

Le châssis de l'étendoir est ainsi complètement défini. Il ne nécessite pas d'autres éléments.The frame of the clothes rack is thus completely defined. It does not require other elements.

Les fils d'étendage 41, 42, 43, 44 sont tendus entre les deux barres horizontales 13, 23. Il est préférable de prévoir un moyen de fixation de ces fils, ne serait-ce que de simples trous ménagés dans ces barres horizontales.The spreading son 41, 42, 43, 44 are stretched between the two horizontal bars 13, 23. It is preferable to provide a means for fixing these son, if only simple holes formed in these horizontal bars.

Pour faciliter le déplacement de l'étendoir, on peut prévoir des roulettes (non représentées) sur chaque longeron 31,32.To facilitate the movement of the drying rack, it is possible to provide rollers (not shown) on each spar 31,32.

Par ailleurs, un atout supplémentaire de l'invention consiste à rendre le châssis démontable.Moreover, an additional advantage of the invention consists in making the chassis removable.

Ainsi, de préférence, chaque armature est en trois parties, le bras gauche, le bras droit et la barre horizontale. A titre d'exemple, la barre horizontale est munie de coudes à ses extrémités, coudes qui viennent s'emmancher dans les bras.Thus, preferably, each frame is in three parts, the left arm, the right arm and the horizontal bar. For example, the horizontal bar is provided with elbows at its ends, elbows that come to get into the arms.

Un modèle particulier peut être réalisé en tubes de 40 mm de diamètre avec des manchons de 35 mm de diamètre pour les emmanchements mâles.A particular model can be made in tubes of 40 mm diameter with 35 mm diameter sleeves for male joints.

La liaison des différentes parties peut être renforcée par des vis (non représentées).The connection of the different parts can be reinforced by screws (not shown).

De même, les longerons sont chacun pourvus de coudes à leurs extrémités, coudes qui viennent s'emmancher dans les bras correspondants.Similarly, the spars are each provided with elbows at their ends, elbows that come to get into the corresponding arms.

Pour des raisons de commodité, il peut s'avérer utile de décomposer également les longerons en plusieurs parties qui s'assemblent par emmanchement.For the sake of convenience, it may be useful to also break the beams into several parts that fit together by fitting.

L'étendoir exposé ci-dessus présente une grande robustesse. Il peut être réalisé en aluminium, en acier, en inox, en plastique, en bois ou en matériau composite. Il se déplace aisément. Son montage est des plus simples. Sa taille peut être adaptée aux conditions particulières des clients : personnes de petite taille, personnes handicapées...The drying rack exposed above is very robust. It can be made of aluminum, steel, stainless steel, plastic, wood or composite material. It moves easily. His editing is very simple. Its size can be adapted to the particular conditions of the customers: people of small size, handicapped people ...

L'exemple de réalisation de l'invention présenté ci-dessus a été choisi eu égard à son caractère concret. Il ne serait cependant pas possible de répertorier de manière exhaustive tous les modes de réalisation que recouvre cette invention. En particulier, tout moyen décrit peut être remplacé par un moyen équivalent sans sortir du cadre de la présente invention.The embodiment of the invention presented above was chosen in view of its concrete nature.
