Abstract

storage shelf for one Laundry basket or Like., characterized in that the storage plate (9) at the top End of a strut (10) is mounted, wherein the lower end with one on the axis or spindle (2) of a laundry umbrella or a laundry spindle (1) pushable rotary member (11) is connected.

Description

The The invention relates to a storage tray for a laundry basket or the like.

Serve laundry baskets the temporary admission of wet laundry, to this then to Dry piece by piece on a clothesline (mostly a washing spindle) hang, as well as for collecting the individual items of laundry when hanging after completed drying. To hang like hanging out will the laundry basket if possible near the respective clothesline turned off, with increasing Distance also a change of location comes into consideration. Mostly there is the laundry basket on the ground, which is a common Bending over and Erecting the busy with the up and hanging person and ultimately this work tedious can be.

Yes it can be even more complicated be that, namely the local conditions It is not so easy to allow a laundry basket in the immediate vicinity of one Clothes line or a washing spindle Turn off the ground, for example because of dusty or otherwise contaminated, leaving the laundry and / or laundry basket at risk run dirty. In such cases, the laundry basket is tried over the Soil - so increased - to turn off. These are also stools, chairs or tables used, which (with their seat or footprint) a Shelf (storage shelf) for the clothes basket form. If necessary need the laundry basket velvet stool / chair or table are implemented, which is undoubtedly cumbersome.

Here implements the invention. She wants a storage shelf for one clothes basket provide which of a washing spindle in a comfortable way - what distance and height - to assign is and effortless if necessary local variable is.

These Task is according to the invention with a Shelf solved, which is attached to the upper end of a strut, the lower End of the strut with a slidable on a washing spindle Rotary part is connected.

The Strut thus begins with its lower end on a washing spindle and rises diagonally from there outward on, e.g. up to waist height of an adult Person, wherein the upper end of the strut carries the - horizontally aligned - storage tray.

In order to is a firm and optimal assignment of a laundry basket to the laundry spindle or their linen possible. Apart from a comfortable height the basket and a close approach to the lines, can be the storage tray thanks to the rotating part also around the washing spindle, i. their axis effortless rotate and optimize in their position.

Advantageous is the lower end of the strut with the rotary member so articulated connected to the strut parallel to the axis of the washing spindle is erectable.

These embodiment allows a wash spindle To provide with a storage plate, the strut save space - similar to a support arm the washing spindle - to the Swivel spindle (axle) and swing out again if necessary leaves.

Such applies to the storage tray itself, if for a further proposal the invention mounted at the upper end of the strut so articulated is that it is aufrichbar parallel to the strut.

at In a further development, the storage plate consists of a on the strut hinged middle part, to which - with view to the washing spindle - to the left and on the right side in each case a side part mounted so articulated is that the side parts with respect to the middle part U-shaped hinged are.

In this shape surrounds the storage plate, the washing spindle from the outside, if this is folded with their support arms and the strut with the Skid plate is pivoted.

Conveniently, is at least at the upper end of the strut and / or on the storage tray a handle arranged.

Advantageous is the strut of a light metal tube with rectangular cross-section educated. Furthermore the strut can be telescopic and thus variable in length.

From Another advantage is when the rotating part of light metal, in particular Aluminum or a plastic.

Conveniently, is below the rotating part on the axis of the spindle a height adjustable support ring intended. Leave it the height vary the storage tray.

In a further embodiment of the inventive concept, an adjustable stop for the support surface of the strut or the rotary member is provided at a distance from the hinge axis of the rotary member and the lower end of the strut, with which the inclination angle of the strut with respect to the washing spindle is to be varied. This allows within limits simultaneously projection and height of the strut change.

Advantageous is the stop of a retractable and turnable thumbscrew educated.

Of the Stop can u. a. also be formed by a pen, which in a parallel to the hinge axis extending bore in the rotating part is pluggable.

Further Details and advantages of the invention will be apparent from a in the Drawing illustrated preferred embodiment explained. In this demonstrate:

1 a storage tray according to the invention in connection with a washing spindle in side view,

2 the rotary part of the storage tray with the lower end of the strut to be inserted therein in side view,

3 the object of 2 in plan view,

4 the (detached) storage tray of 1 in plan view and

5 the storage tray of 4 , Folded up in a U-shape, as it is swiveled to save space after use on the washing spindle.

To 1 there is a washing spindle 1 initially from a tubular spindle 2 which are perpendicular in a ground socket 3 is held. Instead of a recessed in the bottom sleeve could also be a heavy stand with a corresponding receptacle (sleeve), in particular for a fixed ground into consideration. At one on the spindle 2 deferred lower sliding sleeve 4 with a lock 4a are pivotable support arms 5 attached while on an upper sliding sleeve 6 pursuit 7 are pivotally mounted with their upper end. With their lower end are the struts 7 each articulated with a support arm 5 connected. Between the support arms 5 are spaced sections of a clothes line 8th arranged.

The entirety of the washing spindle 1 recalls with its construction and its nature and possibility of change in shape when used or not in use on a screen and is therefore also referred to as a laundry umbrella. Until then, the illustrated laundry spindle corresponds 1 conventional embodiments.

By the invention, however, a conventional washing spindle undergoes a kind of a functional extension by not only serving to hold laundry, but the up and down thanks to the storage shelf according to the invention 9 considerably relieved. There is thus a fixed assignment of the storage tray 9 to the washing spindle 1 , and it becomes its main supporting element, namely the spindle 2 used constructively, so that the invention can be implemented in practice with three components. These are except the storage tray 9 a strut 10 and a turned part 11 ,

The storage shelf or support plate 9 is about a joint 12 with the upper end of the strut 10 connected and rested otherwise on the free end (head) of the strut 10 so that it is aligned horizontally in the end position. The joint 12 allows a pivoting movement, as symbolized by the arrow Pa. At the bottom of the strut 10 allows the rotating part 11 the strut 10 Movements in two or even three different directions.

Thanks to its central bore 13 (see. 2 and 3 ) can be the rotary part 11 together with the strut attached to it 10 around the spindle 2 Turn as indicated by arrow Pd1. As a result of its storage in a forked receptacle 14 of the turned part 11 and in particular due to the hinge axis located there 15 is the strut 10 also pivotable in the direction of the arrow Ps, being in 1 is shown in its final position. Finally, the rotary part can be 11 , which is after 1 on the upper (beaded) edge of the ground socket 3 supported, even in total, ie together with the storage tray 9 and the strut 10 still along the spindle 2 or raise the arrow Pd2 and hold in an elevated position, for example by means of a (not shown) support ring.

After the 4 and 5 is the storage tray 9 in a middle part 9a and side panels 9b . 9c divided, the latter hinges hinged to the middle part 9a are connected. This connection allows the side panels 9b and 9c approximately U-shaped in relation to the middle part 9a fold up, as in 5 shown. This is a position as it is chosen to the strut 10 together with the storage tray 9 to the closed washing spindle 1 Add space-saving after use. To secure this situation can in the simplest case on the washing spindle 1 together with the strut 10 a strap, belt or the like. Looped and lashed.
