Patent attributes
An umbrella-type laundry drying apparatus has a central upright tube which carries a spreading framework for the laundry line. The framework is folded open via a hoisting line. The spreading framework has an upper sleeve which surrounds the upright tube and on which supporting arms arranged in the form of a star are articulated. These arms are articulated at their lower ends to the carrying arms for the laundry line. The carrying arms are articulated with their lower ends on a lower sliding sleeve that surrounds the upright tube, can be fixed in various positions on the upright tube, and is equipped with a force transmission actuable via a tension line. The force transmission has a force step-up and a force transmission element coupled to the tension line. When the tension line is actuated, it generates an upwardly directed movement step of the lower sleeve.
