Description

DESCRIPTION

Clothes line

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention refers to a clothesline, in which the rods where the clothes are hung are movable with respect to the frame of the clothesline, so that the distance between the rods can be varied at the user's will.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The use of clotheslines to hold personal or household clothing for use in domestic environments is known. These clotheslines comprise rods or ropes where the clothes to be dried are hung, which can be metal, plastic or other materials.

One type of clothesline is of the folding type, which comprises a frame formed by bars that define frames and legs. Rods, usually metallic, extend longitudinally or transversely in said frames, on which the clothes to be dried are laid out.

These folding clotheslines have the advantage that when they are not in use they occupy a very small space, having a substantially flat shape, so that they can be easily stored, which is especially practical for use in a domestic environment.

However, clotheslines in general have the drawback that the rods where the clothes are hung are fixed, that is, they cannot be moved with respect to the frame, so that their separation is also fixed and cannot be adapted to the type of clothes. that tends

For example, for personal clothing, the spacing between the ribs can be reduced, while for household linen of larger dimensions, such as, for example, sheets, it is advisable that the spacing between the ribs be greater.

This inability to adjust the spacing between the rods can lead to long-term damage to the rods.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Therefore, an objective of the clothes rack according to the present invention is to allow the rods where the clothes are hung to be easily placed in a desired position, regulating the spacing between them as desired.

The clothesline according to the present invention is defined in claim 1, and comprises a frame and a plurality of rods, the rods being movable with respect to the frame.

In this way, the rods can be placed in any suitable position with respect to the frame, depending on the needs of the user, being able to regulate the distance between the rods.

Additional optional features are described in the dependent claims.

According to a preferred embodiment, each rod comprises a ring at its ends, which facilitates the movement of the rods with respect to the frame.

Furthermore, advantageously, the frame comprises a plurality of housings for housing the ends of the rods. These housings allow the rods to be retained in a predetermined position, avoiding accidental movement of the rods.

Preferably, said housings are equidistantly spaced along the frame.

According to a preferred embodiment, said frame defines frames and legs.

In particular, according to a preferred embodiment, the frame defines a central frame, for example rectangular or quadrangular, and two lateral frames, for example U-shaped, the lateral frames being articulated with respect to the central frame.

Said rods are preferably metallic, although they could be made of any suitable material.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

To complement the description that is being made and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of its practical embodiment, a set of drawings is attached as an integral part of said description. where, by way of illustration and not limitation, the following has been represented:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the clothesline according to the present invention; Y

Figure 2 is a perspective view showing a detail of the clothesline according to the present invention, where the housings of the bars that form the frame of the clothesline can be seen.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

A detailed explanation of a preferred embodiment of the object of the present invention is provided below, with the aid of the aforementioned figures.

First of all, it should be noted that a foldable clothesline is shown in the figures, but it is shown only by way of non-limiting example, since the clothesline according to the present invention can also be a non-foldable clothesline.

The clothesline according to the present invention comprises a frame (1) and some rods (2) that are movable with respect to said frame (1).

In particular, according to the embodiment shown, the frame (1) is formed by bars that define a central frame (11) and two lateral frames (12), the lateral frames (12) being articulated with respect to the central frame (11). ). In addition, the frame (1) also defines some legs (13), which are also foldable, according to the embodiment shown.

As can be seen in the figures, the rods (2) extend transversely or longitudinally in said frames (11, 12), and comprise rings (3) at their ends, which surround the bars that form the frames (11, 12). ).

By means of these rings (3), the rods (2) can slide easily and in a guided way to along the bars that form the frames (11, 12), being able to place the rods (2) in any desired position.

In addition, the frame (1), in particular, in the frames (11, 12), comprises housings (4) to house the ends of the rods (2). These housings (4) are preferably equidistantly distributed in said frames (11, 12).

In this way, the user can place at least some rods (2) in correspondence with the housings (4), the inner upper part of the rings (3) being housed in said housings (4).

These housings (4), in addition to determining the positions of the rods (2), allow the rods (2) to be held in their position, avoiding an accidental displacement of said rods (2).

The operation of the clothesline according to the present invention is very simple, since the user can simply move the rods (2) so that the distance between them adapts to his needs. Specifically, you can place them with a minimum distance from each other when you do not want to use them, as shown on the left part of figure 2, they can be placed in correspondence with the housings (4), or in any intermediate position.

Although reference has been made to a specific embodiment of the invention, it is clear to a person skilled in the art that the clothesline described is susceptible to numerous variations and modifications, and that all the details mentioned may be replaced by other technically equivalent ones, without deviate from the scope of protection defined by the appended claims.
