Mit dem Eckverbindungsstück 20 sind zwei parallele Platten 26, 27 einstückig verbunden, die den Hauptrahmen in Längsrichtung verlängern und scheibenförmig ausgebildet sind. Die äußere Platte 26 ist mit einer Bohrung 28 versehen, die unter dem Niveau des Hauptrahmens liegt. Mit der Bohrung 28 fluchten entsprechende, in Fig. 3 nicht sichtbare Bohrungen im Standbein 8 und in der Platte 27. Durch alle diese Bohrungen wird ein hier nicht dargestellter Gelenkstift geschoben, so daß das Standbein 8 zwischen den Platten 26, 27 drehbar ist. Das Standbein 8 läuft, wie durch gestrichelte Linien dargestellt ist, in eine Flachstange 29 aus und legt sich mit einem oberhalb der Bohrung 28 liegenden Endabschnitt in der in Fig. 3 gezeigten Lage an das Eckverbindungsstück 20 an. In der anderen Endlage, nämlich bei zusammengeklapptem Gestell, legt sich das Standbein 8 glatt unter den Hauptrahmen. Die Platte 26 weist ferner eine weitere Bohrung 30 auf, die symmetrisch zur Bohrung 28 angeordnet ist und durch die ein Gelenkstift geschoben wird, wenn das in Fig. 3 dargestellte Gelenk als Gelenk 5 (Fig. 1) verwendet werden würde.With the corner connector 20 are two parallel plates 26, 27 integrally connected to the main frame in Extend longitudinally and are disc-shaped. The outer plate 26 is provided with a bore 28 which is below the level of the main frame. With the bore 28 align corresponding bores not visible in FIG. 3 in pillar 8 and in plate 27. Through all of these Drilling becomes a hinge pin, not shown here pushed so that the supporting leg 8 between the plates 26, 27th is rotatable. The pillar 8 runs as by dashed lines Lines is shown in a flat bar 29 and sets itself with an end section lying above the bore 28 in the position shown in FIG. 3 to the corner connector 20th on. In the other end position, namely when folded Frame, the supporting leg 8 lies smoothly under the Main frame. The plate 26 also has a further bore 30 on, which is arranged symmetrically to the bore 28 and through which a hinge pin is pushed if that in FIG. 3 joint shown as joint 5 (Fig. 1) can be used would.

Zwischen den Platten 26, 27 ist ein Winkelstück 31 eingepaßt, das zwei winklig zueinander stehende Schenkel 32, 33 aufweist. Der Schenkel 32 weist an seinem Ende einen Schlitz 34 auf, in dem die Flachstange 29 geführt wird. Im Endbereich dieser Flachstange und des Schenkels 32 sind Bohrungen vorgesehen, in die ein Gelenkstift 35 geschoben ist. Dadurch ist das Winkelstück 31 mit dem Standbein 8 drehbar verbunden. In einem die beiden Schenkel 32, 33 verbindenden Brückenteil ist eine Bohrung 36 vorgesehen, in der ein Trocknungsstab 37 befestigt ist. Dieser Trocknungsstab ist mit seinem anderen Ende in einer entsprechenden Bohrung des Gelenks 3 (Fig. 1) befestigt. Am Umfang der Platte 27 ist ein Rastkörper 38 mit einer innenliegenden Rastnase vorgesehen, hinter der der Trocknungsstab 37 einrastbar ist. Der Schenkel 33 ist rohrförmig ausgebildet und nimmt eine Strebe 39 des Seitenrahmens 6 auf. Mit diesem Schenkel ist ein Querstift 40 einstückig verbunden, der als Transportsicherung in die Bohrung 30 im zusammengelegten Zustand eingreift. Schließlich ist die einen Längsschlitz aufweisende, rohrförmige Rolloabdeckung 16 gezeigt, die am Ende in einem ringförmigen Absatz der Platte 27 liegt, wie später noch näher erläutert wird. An angle piece 31 is fitted between the plates 26, 27, the two legs 32, 33 which are at an angle to one another having. The leg 32 has a slot at its end 34 on, in which the flat rod 29 is guided. In the end area this flat rod and the leg 32 are bores provided, in which a hinge pin 35 is pushed. Thereby the angle piece 31 is rotatably connected to the supporting leg 8. In a bridge part connecting the two legs 32, 33 a bore 36 is provided in which a drying rod 37 is attached. This drying stick is with its other End in a corresponding bore of the joint 3 (Fig. 1) attached. On the circumference of the plate 27 is a locking body 38 with an internal latch provided behind the Drying rod 37 can be locked. The leg 33 is tubular and takes a strut 39 of Side frame 6 on. With this leg is a cross pin 40 connected in one piece, which as a transport lock in the Bore 30 engages in the collapsed state. Finally is the tubular one having a longitudinal slot Shutter cover 16 shown that ends in an annular Paragraph of the plate 27 is, as explained in more detail later becomes.

In dem in Fig. 3 dargestellten Zustand des Gelenks liegt der Schenkel 32 in nicht sichtbarer Weise am Standbein 8 an, so daß das Gewicht des Seitenrahmens 6 (und der daran hängenden Wäsche) das Standbein 8 blockiert. Dadurch wird das Wäschetrocknungsgestell standsicher. Durch die Einrastung des Trocknungsstabs 37 in den Rastkörper 38 wird diese Standsicherheit noch erhöht.In the state of the joint shown in FIG Leg 32 on leg 8 in a manner not visible, see above that the weight of the side frame 6 (and the attached Wash) the leg 8 blocked. This will make it Clothes drying rack stable. By snapping the Drying rod 37 in the locking body 38 this Stability still increased.

In Fig. 4 ist das Gelenk in demjenigen Zustand wie in Fig. 2 gezeigt, in dem der Seitenrahmen 6 geschlossen ist. Der Schenkel 33 weist dabei zum Inneren des Hauptrahmens. In diesem ersten Schließzustand ist der Seitenrahmen 6 zum Inneren des Hauptrahmens, wie Fig. 2 besser erkennen läßt, geneigt, so daß die Gefahr des Abrutschens der darauf abgelegten Wäsche geringer ist. Die beiden Seitenrahmen 6, 7 können mit einer Klammer 41 verbunden werden, so daß die Standbeine (auch das Standbein 8 in Fig. 4) blockiert sind. In einem in Fig. 4a gezeigten, zweiten Schließzustand des Seitenrahmens 6, bei dem das Standbein 8 glatt an der Unterseite des Hauptrahmens anliegt, liegt auch der Seitenrahmen 6 glatt an der Oberseite des Hauptrahmens an, so daß das Wäschetrocknungsgestell eng zusammenlegbar ist. In Fig. 4 ist auch eine an die Rundung des Standbeins 8 angepaßte Fläche 42 des Schenkels 32 erkennbar, die an diesem Standbein bei geöffnetem Seitenrahmen 6 anliegt und dieses Standbein blockieren würde. Ferner ist aus Fig. 4 die Ausbildung des Rastkörpers 38 erkennbar, der symmetrisch mit zwei gegenüberliegenden Rastnasen 43, 44 ausgebildet ist. Das Gelenk ist damit in Verbindung mit den Bohrungen 28, 30 und den Gliedern 23, 24 derart ausgebildet, daß es an allen vier Ecken des Hauptrahmens eingesetzt werden kann. Das bedeutet einen fertigungstechnischen Vorteil.In FIG. 4, the joint is in the state as in FIG. 2 shown in which the side frame 6 is closed. The Leg 33 faces the interior of the main frame. In this first closed state is the side frame 6 for Inside of the main frame, as can be seen better in FIG. 2, inclined so that the risk of slipping on it stored laundry is less.
