Legs
The shape of the
legs plays a crucial role in both the aesthetic and practical aspects of floor dryers.
—
U-shaped. Floor dryers featuring two U-shaped legs provide stability during use and reduce the risk of tipping. These legs are typically positioned at slight angles to the floor, often with a plastic lining on the lower crossbar. U-shaped legs offer the convenience of easy vacuuming underneath the dryer or placing objects under it.
—
X-shaped. Many floor clothes dryers feature legs arranged in a crosswise manner. These legs unfold together in a single motion, simplifying the setup process. When folded, the X-shaped legs neatly align with the dryer's main body, where the drying bars are situated. The design prevents any obstruction from the sides.
—
A-shaped. Dryers with A-shaped legs use support points formed by crossbars resembling the letter "A." These legs extend from a central upper point within the dryer's working area and are positioned at slight angles to each other. To enhance stability, they are frequently connected by a jumper. A-shaped legs often function as a miniature version of a fulcrum.
Sock holder
Sock holder is a complex of special clips on one of the slats of the case (sometimes on several), which allow you to more rationally hang socks, underwear and other small wardrobe items.
Hanger holder
The presence in the design of the drying rack of special devices for the placement of coat hangers. Such devices can be made as separate stands, and in
outdoor models(see "Type") they often have the form of openings at the ends of rigid rods that form the frame.
Technically, most drying racks allow you to use regular rods to place hangers, however, special
holders for hangers are much more convenient: in particular, when using them, the hanger will not move (whereas it can move back and forth along the rod), and there will still be a place on the main surface completely free.
Transport rollers
The presence of
rollers or other similar devices that allow you to roll the structure along the floor. Drying racks usually do not weigh so much as to create problems when carrying, even quite large ones; but with laundry hanging out, moving from place to place without rollers can be quite a challenge. In addition, transport rollers are often found in models with 3 — 4 tiers, which are inconvenient to carry, not so much because of their weight, but because of their bulkiness.
