Folding and wall-mountable frame such as for a drying device

A wall drying device adapted for mounting to a wall, said device comprising a frame which can be moved between a folded-in position and a folded-out position and which is provided with:

• suspension means configured to suspend the frame from the wall;
• one arm assembly comprising three or four arms of substantially equal length, which are distributed about equally around and hingedly connected to a single arm joint, each arm having first and second ends separated by a length of the respective arm;
• lines extending in each case between two neighboring arms, and
• a rod assembly comprising at least three rods which are hingedly connected to a single rod joint, each rod having first and second ends separated by a length of the respective rod;
• said rod assembly cooperating with the arm assembly, the arm assembly and the rod assembly being designed such that the arms extend substantially parallel in a first direction in the folded-in position at a relatively small distance next to one another and occupy a relatively small area in a direction transverse to the first direction, and in the folded-out position occupy a relatively large area in a direction transverse to the first direction;
• each rod being connected to a respective one of the arms at a distance from the rod joint by means of a hinge, which hinge is located along the length between the respective first and second ends of the respective arm, each rod and each arm being substantially rigid between the hinge and the rod joint and arm joint, respectively;
• one of the rods extending beyond the hinge of its respective arm, said rod extending beyond the hinge of its respective arm and its respective arm in the folded-out position being supported by the suspension means at a section of said rod extending beyond the hinge of its respective arm and at a section of its respective arm, said sections being at said respective first ends of said arm and said rod, which said first ends are opposite from said second ends which are connected to the rod joint and arm joint, respectively;
• and
• said section of said rod and said section of said arm being at a periphery of planes defined by the rod and arm assemblies, respectively, in the folded-out position, said sections being arranged such that said sections are configured to be in a plane that is substantially perpendicular to the wall in the folded-out position of the wall drying device;
• said section of said rod in the folded-out position being supported by the suspension means through a detachable coupling provided with a base piece and having a locking means comprising a snap element for detachably locking a counterpiece on said section of the rod relative to the base piece, the locking means locking the rod to the suspension means by snapping action of the snap element when the drying device is brought from the folded-in position into the folded-out position.
