  • the cloth 2 hangs with its after the correct insertion Start part 20 with a sewn-in bar 20 'over a first swivel castor 19 guided, freely movable.
  • the only axis 18 of the swivel roller 19 is at the end in Two swiveling bearing supports opposite each other 17 stored, which in turn, together with a inner, hollow cylindrical guide element 15 pivotable in Axis and bearing 26 is guided in two roller carriers 16.
  • the axis 26 drives a winding roller 27 with a magnetic Slot 25.
  • a second caster 11 with axis 12, which with their bearing support 13 and a outer guide element 14 is also rotatable about the axis 26 is.
  • smoothing rollers 23 and 24 Underneath there are so-called smoothing rollers 23 and 24, whose axes 21 or 22 in rectangular roller carriers 28 are freely rotatable.
  • This process is characterized by two arrows in FIG. 1.
  • the two guide elements 14 and 15 pull on their Swivel path after additional tape material, whereby the in Fig. 2 indicated loop 3 forms that in a known Hangs out of the apparatus housing 1 and drying hands serves.
  • FIG. 3 A preferred type of power transmission from the lid la to Swivel device is shown in Fig. 3.
  • Fig. 1 Compared to Fig. 1 here is an additional operating lever 30 can be seen, which in a recess 31 by a Screw 34 is guided with flange; be linear Displacement is characterized by a double arrow.
  • the lever 30 has teeth 32 on one end face on, which in a, on the axis 26 spur gear 35 engages.
  • a pivot lever 44 is at the rear end on the hinge 1b stored and via a driver 33 with the Actuating lever 30 coupled.
  • the two guide elements 14 and 15 the necessary extract of the tape material 2 to one Loop and separation of used strip material 2 ' of clean material 2.
  • the generally known agents are used, mostly work with suction cups and locking members.
  • the lever 30 can be driven in a manner known per se by a spring or an electric motor, which are activated when roll 2a is unwound or no longer rests on the bearing ribs 4.
  • the tubular winding roll 27 ', Fig. 4 has two each other opposite longitudinal grooves 25 'on the input side are widened.
  • the groove 25 ' we with the starting part 20 its bar 20 'inserted and with a driver flange 36 provided with a driver 38.
  • the winding roll 27 ' receives a counter flange 37; both flanges are connected by a square rod 39 with a Depository connected.
  • the winding roll 27 " has a variety of Grooves into which the initial part 20 ", which according to Fig. 5a is designed like a link, is inserted.
  • the strip material 2 is still clean a collar 2a 'with loop openings on both sides with a Width A of the loop opening.
  • This collar 2a ' can be easily sewn form as hem 2b and disturbs washing and ironing Not.
  • a Winding mandrel 27a inserted into the collar 2a 'and the axis 26 positioned accordingly.
  • the mandrel 27a has its axis 26 has longitudinal ribs 50 and transverse ribs 51; moreover there is a transport on the right side Gear, a spur gear 35.
  • the winding mandrel 27a ensures simple and safe Start of the winding process to form the roll with the used tape material 2 '.
  • a clock spring 27b is used, which is a spring-loaded Has side spring 52 which in a deflection bead 53 is axially movable.
  • the right side on the fixed part of the axis 26 goes into a short Closing spring 54 and has a round (domed) End part 55 on.
  • a controlled, automatic ejection of the used roll in a suitable container is provided.
  • Attenuators could also be integrated here, which the movement sequence when accelerating and braking compensate for the transport movements of the cloth. In the same The possible excess in the formation of loops can also be wise of tape material, pulled back into the device before use become.
