Dryer, especially for clothes and a room to store this dryer
The technical solution concerns dryers, especially for
clothes, which can also be used to dry other items.
These are dryers that can be folded and
placed or folded into places where they do not interfere with the surrounding
space, or they are not even visible. The technical solution also refers to a
room adapted to store said dryer or several such dryers.
At present, various types of folding, tilting, or
otherwise space-reducible dryers are known. For example, in the file CZ AO
189952, a dryer that can be folded out of the lid of the kitchen stove and
folded into this lid, where it is stored when not in use, is described. There
is also a known collapsible drying rack according to file CZ U 2271, where the
supporting elements are telescopically extendable multi-part rods, anchored
perpendicular to the wall and equipped with stops at the free ends. Folding
dryers are also known, as described for example in the files CZ U 10137, CZ
U15238, or CZ pat. No. 298577, where the drying grids are visible, rotatably
suspended on the tubular heating element or on the wall and are fixed in the
tilted position by a hanging or supporting rod, and when it is possible to
choose the resting place of this rod on the wall or on the heating element, it
is also possible to choose the inclination of the drying raster. A vertically
sliding hanger with fan-like adjustable bars is even mentioned already in the
CS pat file. No. 5897, published in 1921.
All of the mentioned drying racks are
able to save space when they are folded, but they usually remain visible, which
is aesthetically undesirable, whether in the exterior or especially in the
interior.
The task of the presented technical solution therefore appears to be
the creation of a folding dryer with simple handling and storage, in the folded
state, in a space or cover or case where the dryer is not visible.
The task of easy folding and concealability is fulfilled by a dryer, especially for clothes, according to the presented technical solution, where a dryer is created, the basis of which is a drying frame with supporting or hanging rods, or with at least one standing frame, the essence of which is in that it contains a storage plate or case, the size of the internal dimensions of which is the same or larger than the dimensions of the largest part of the group, including the drying frame, suspension or support bars and the standing frame. It is advantageous if the storage plate or case is simultaneously formed as the back wall of a side-folding wall plate, cabinet or mirror. The essence is also a room adapted for storing a dryer or dryers, where the essence consists in the fact that at least one depression or niche is created in at least one wall of the room, with dimensions equal to or larger than the dimensions of the largest part of the group, including the drying frame, hanging or strut bars and a standing frame.
In this way, the creation of a folding dryer is achieved, especially for laundry with simple handling and storage, in a folded state, in a space or cover or case where the dryer is not visible.

The presented technical
solution is described in more detail and explained using implementation
examples, where example 1 is a variant of a coat hanger, fixed in the working
position by two pull rods, and also fixed in the working position by two
buckling rods, respectively. with a pair of hangers with fixation in both ways,
example 2 is a variant of the hanger, fixed in the working position by leaning
on one standing frame, where the hanger can also be double, horizontally
expandable, example 3 are variants of the hanger, fixed, in one case, in a
folded shape, in folding into a recess in the wall of the room, and in the
second case, in a folded form, in folding to the surface of the wall of the
room, example 4 are variants of a hanger, fixed in a folded form in a folding
into a recess in the wall of the room, and covered in one case by a shelf
cabinet and in the second case by a mirror, then example 5 are, in a vertical
cross-section with a partial section of the shelf cabinet, variants of the wall
of the room with a stored hanger, covered by this shelf cabinet, where, in one
case, the folded hanger is stored on the surface of the wall, and in the other
case, the hanger is stored in a recess in the wall. The folded hanger can be
secured in this folded position with clips or magnets, not shown here.
Example 1
Here you can see a variant of the
hanger, namely in Fig. 1, where its drying frame 1 is fixed in the working
position by two pull rods 14, and also a variant, visible in Fig. 2, where its
drying frame 1 is fixed in the working position by two struts sticks 13,
respectively another variant, visible in Fig. 3, where a pair of drying frames
1 is shown with their fixation in both ways, i.e. one with tension rods 14, one
with strut rods 13.
Example 2
Here,
the variants of the hanger are visible, as can be seen in Fig. 4 and Fig. 5,
where the drying frame 1, respectively. in the second embodiment, a pair of
drying frames 1 have a standing frame 15 used for fixation in the working
position.
Example 3
This
is an example with variants of fixing the dryer, in a folded form, where in
Fig. 6 the drying frame 1 is visible, held by the dryer segments 12 against the
wall 10, while the cover plate 2, here having the form of a flat framed plate
22, hanging on the suspension segments 11, is shown in a folded position, where
the folded drying frame 1 can be partially embedded in the wall 101, while the
second variant shown, in Fig. 7, shows an analogous situation, but the cover
plate 2 is made as a flat and framed plate 22 with in the shape of the case,
which, together with the frame 221, creates a cavity in which the folded dryer
is stored and, after folding, hidden, located here by itself on the surface of the
wall 101.
Example 4
Next,
variants of the hanger are described and shown, namely in Fig. 8 and Fig. 9,
where, in one case, visible in Fig. 8. the drying rack is fixed in a folded
shape by folding into the wall recess 1011 with an overlap with a wall shelf
cabinet 3 and in the second case, visible in Fig. 9, with an overlap with a
flat mirror 4. A flat housing mirror can also be created with a frame, i.e. as
a housing, and with a back space for covering the folded drying rack. This
variant is not shown here, although it may be another possible embodiment
falling within the scope of protection of the present technical solution.
Example 5
Finally,
for better clarity, variants of storing the folded dryer with an overlap with a
wall shelf cabinet 3 are presented, where in the first variant, see 0br.10, the
folded dryer rests on the surface of the wall 101 and is covered by a wall
shelf cabinet 32, which has an offset rear wall forward into the space of this
cabinet, so behind this back wall a cavity is thus created for storing the
dryer. In the second variant, see Fig. 11, the situation is analogous, but with
the difference that the cavity for storing the dryer is created as a depression
1011 in the wall 101, so that the rear wall of this cabinet 31 does not have to
be offset forward. For better visibility and readability, Fig. 9 and 10 are
shown on an enlarged scale and are transverse vertical sections of the wall 101
with a partial section of the rear part of the cabinet 31, 32. We also note
here that the wall recess 1011 can also be rounded and in such an embodiment it
can be referred to as a niche.
Industrial use of the technical solution
The subject of the presented technical solution can be used primarily for drying laundry, but also for drying other objects, such as shoes or even food.
