Description

Technical area

The present invention relates to a holding device for hanging objects, such as garments or bags. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for producing such a holding device.

Prior art

In general, hooks for hanging clothes or articles, for example, in use in a wardrobe or dressing room are known. The user knows various forms of such hooks or devices with multiple hooks, as these are an object of daily life.

Due to the widespread use of hook devices or similar devices suitable for hanging articles, there is a general need to improve the basic design of such devices.

For example, in the German utility model G 81 12 539.9 U1 discloses a wall bracket for roller skates, which is formed according to an embodiment of a bent wire and for two roles of skates each having its own recording. In addition, embodiments are disclosed which use a bent sheet metal and thus the roller skates can be taken over all four of its roles particularly safe. In this way, a wall holder is provided, which allows a straightforward, inexpensive, attachable to virtually any wall part attachment.

The Austrian Patent 68420 leads to a wall hook made of sheet metal, which has an integrated, punched out of the hook plate and bent fastening nail. This ensures the safety of driving in and maintaining the necessary oblique direction when driving.

Disadvantages of the prior art

However, the previously known solutions are either very complex or do not allow an efficient measure for hanging several items of clothing or items.

problem

Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a holding device for hanging objects, which has a simple and robust construction and is characterized by an efficient use of materials.

Inventive solution

The above object is achieved by a holding device with the features of claim 1 and / or by a holding device with the features of claim 2. Furthermore, the object is achieved by means of a method the method steps according to claim 15. Favorable embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the features of the dependent subclaims.

Disclosed is a holding device for suspending articles, in particular articles of clothing, wherein the holding device comprises a flat holder for fastening the holding device to an at least partially vertical surface. In a corresponding manner, the planar holder would also be suitable for attaching the holding device to a horizontal surface, for example a ceiling, at least partially hanging upside down. Furthermore, the holding device has a first carrying hook and a second carrying hook, which protrude from a surface of the holder or protrude and thus each form a hook device. The hook devices each comprise a so-called hooking opening, which means a region of the hook device, in which objects or clothes to be hung are inserted. For example, when hanging a coat whose hanger is lifted over a tip of the support hook and inserted through the suspension hole in the hook device and thus suspended.

Both support hook and the holder are integrally made of the same material, wherein the first support hook has a recess. In this case, the area of the recess of the first support hook is greater than or equal to a surface of the second support hook. This measure helps to improve the accessibility to the second hook device or to the second suspension opening, because the recess in the first support hook creates additional space in the region of the suspension opening of the second support hook.

Furthermore, it is conceivable that in this way the second support hook can be made of the material of the first support hook. In particular, it is thus made possible for the first time that material in the region of the first support hook which is not required for structural support of the first support hook can be supplied to a further function: The region of the recess is efficiently, for example, through Punching and bending, used to form the second carrying hook.

According to one embodiment, the second hook device is connected via an intermediate region of the holder.

In an alternative or additional manner to the above-mentioned solution, a further holding device for suspending articles is disclosed, which likewise comprises a holder for fastening the holding device to an at least partially vertical surface. It is conceivable that if necessary, the holder can be designed such that it can also be attached to a substantially horizontally shaped surface. For hanging objects, a first support hook and a second support hook are provided, both of which protrude from a surface of the holder and each form a hook device. The hook devices each comprise a so-called hooking opening, which means a region of the hook device, in which objects or clothes to be hung are inserted.

Furthermore, the support hooks and the holder are made in one piece from the same base material, a mounting operation for joining the components of the holding device is therefore not necessary. The base material is a surface-trained material, in particular, a use of a piece of sheet metal is advantageous here.

According to the aforementioned embodiment, the first support hook is formed by bending a first portion of the base material about a first bending axis. For this purpose, it is conceivable that the first section is formed by a region of the base material, wherein the first section is surrounded or bounded by the outer contour of the base material and by the bending axis. The first support hook can thus be formed by the base material is clamped and bent on two sides.

The second support hook is formed by at least a portion of a second tongue-like shaped portion of the base material by bending this second portion or a portion thereof out of the plane of the base material about a second bending axis. The second section lies before the bending process, in particular before the bending operation of the first support hook, substantially in the region of the first section. The second section for forming the second support hook can be produced by punching out of the first section. Advantageously, the second section can be realized by punching or cutting a U-shaped cut in the base material.

According to one embodiment, not the entire second section is bent out of the plane of the base material or of the later holder, but the second bending axis is arranged with an offset to the transition of the second section into the surface of the base material or of the later holder. This results in an intermediate section which lies between the transition and the bending region to the second support hook. If the intermediate section is not interpreted as part of the holder when the finished holding device is viewed, the intermediate section projects beyond the contour of the holder in the direction of the second bending axis of the second hook device. If, according to an alternative understanding, the intermediate portion is considered to belong to the holder, then the second carrying hook is connected to the intermediate portion of the holder and protrudes from the intermediate portion of the holder.

Thereby, a holding device is provided, which can be produced in the simplest way by two bending operations and a punching operation. The prefabricated base material, for example an oval metal plate, is thus first punched in a U-shaped or tongue-like manner or a U-shaped or tongue-like cut is made. Subsequently, first, the first support hook by bending the first portion - without bending the second portion, which is located in the first section - made. In the following, the second support hook can be produced by bending over the second section or a part of the second section projecting beyond the intermediate section. However, it is also within the scope of the invention to exchange the order of the two bending operations or, if appropriate, to perform both bends simultaneously in one step.

Both mentioned embodiments of a holding device with two support hooks provide an advantageous solution to the above-mentioned object and thus serve as an equivalent teaching. However, it is also possible to combine different features of both solutions partially or completely in a targeted manner. Accordingly, the embodiments listed below are to be referred to each of the solutions described in detail, as well as to a complete or partial combination of these.

The individual hook devices are designed such that these or their suspension opening open in relation to a later mounting position of the holding device upwards, and in this way the article to be hung is held by gravity in the respective hook device. Accordingly, the direction "top" defined in the direction of gravity on earth.

According to one embodiment, the first and second support hooks merge into the holder via a respective first and second radius. With regard to the finished manufactured holding device, a bending axis of the first radius is located in an edge area of the holding device.

Referring to the above-mentioned second solution, the bending axis of the first radius is substantially at the center of a surface of the base material.

This embodiment of the transitions between suspension hook and holder as a curved radius structure causes a particularly favorable transition and dissipation of forces from the suspension hooks in the holder while avoiding unfavorable voltage spikes.

In the course of a further embodiment it is disclosed that the bending axes of the radii are arranged substantially parallel to each other. So there is an offset between two suspension hooks and their radii to each other. Thereby, a particularly good accessibility of the respective hook devices thus formed is made possible and it is effectively prevented that the access to a hook device is hindered by the other hook device.

The offset between the two bending axes essentially corresponds to the offset of the second bending axis from the transition region between the second section and the holder or base material.

According to one embodiment, the above offset also corresponds to an extension of the intermediate region in a longitudinal direction of the second segment.

In particular, it is conceivable that the two hook devices are provided at different heights on the holding device and are arranged one above the other or one below the other.

According to a particular embodiment, the first radius and the second radius are substantially equal. This serves to homogenize the material load.

The length of the first support hook can be 7 to 14 times, in particular 10 times, the first radius. It has been found that such a configuration of the relationship between length of the support hook and radius gives an optimum result with regard to the stresses in the holding device.

According to a further embodiment, the length of the first support hook is 1.5 to 3 times, in particular twice, the length of the second support hook. The different design of the length of the support hooks has the double effect that on the one hand, the material of a starting material or the base material is used particularly efficiently, and that on the other hand the user of the holding device differently adapted hook devices are provided for different sized items available. The increase in comfort is thus accompanied by the efficient use of materials - and vice versa.

According to one embodiment of the bent holding device, the length of the first carrying hook is 0.4 to 0.6 times, in particular 0.5 times, the length of the base material of the holding device. The first hook device of the holding device is advantageous if the base material is bent approximately in the middle and thus obtains a hook-shaped structure.

In extension of the basic principle of the invention, it is proposed that a smallest angle α between the first support hook and the holder is less than or equal to a smallest angle β between the second support hook and the holder. The angle specification used here and below refers to a smallest angle between a suspension hook and the holder, thus the respective acute angle between suspension hook and holder is relevant.

Advantageously, the angle β of the second support hook is greater than the angle α of the first support hook. In particular, in an arrangement of the second hook device under the first hook device, the advantage of this embodiment is particularly clear: The suspension opening of the second hook device is thus increased. Since the first hook device, because of its position above the second hook device, possibly complicates access to the suspension opening of the second hook device, it must be ensured that the suspension opening of the second hook device is at least not additionally reduced in size. Due to the corresponding configuration of the angle of the second hook device and a consequent enlarged suspension opening, the possible accessibility problem can be compensated, at least with regard to the subjective user comfort.

In an extension of the aforementioned embodiment, it is stated that a favorable angle α between the first carrying hook and the holder is 20 ° to 45 °, in particular 35 °.

Furthermore, an embodiment is cited, wherein a main plane of the first support hook is substantially parallel to a main plane of the second support hook. The suspension hooks are formed in a substantial way by areal sections or surfaces, which in turn form the main plane. The body, or its surface, the suspension hooks are thus oriented substantially the same in terms of angles and directions, resulting in a visually harmonious overall impression of the holding device.

According to one exemplary embodiment, the hook devices can be bent and arranged such that a smallest distance between the first support hook and the second support hook is at least 20 to 30 mm, in particular 25 mm. Such a distance is associated with the ergonomic advantage that the accessibility for hanging objects of different sizes is guaranteed. It is conceivable that, for example, both the hanger of a coat or the handle of a bag can be easily and safely hooked into the hook device.

According to one embodiment, the first carrying hook is wider than the second carrying hook. The width is in this case indicated in a direction which is substantially perpendicular to the "top" direction. In particular, the width of the first support hook can be 1.5 to 4 times, in particular 3 times, a width of the second support hook. This embodiment also serves to increase user comfort by providing differently sized hook devices on a single holding device for objects of different sizes.

In the case of using a base material for producing the hook device by punching and bending, according to one embodiment, a thickness of the base material may be at least 1.5 to 3 mm, in particular 2 mm. It has been shown that holding devices are usually hung with objects and thereby burdened, which make such a dimensioning of the base material seem favorable.

According to one embodiment, the base material has a rounded, circular or oval shape, whereby an appealing appearance of the holding device and / or a favorable adhesion surface are formed without corners.

Furthermore, an embodiment is disclosed, wherein a length of the base material is 1 to 2 times, in particular 1.4 times a width of the base material.

In extension of this basic principle, a method for producing the holding device is proposed according to the invention, wherein in a first step, a base material is provided, which is formed flat. This can be done by punching from a raw material, in particular, the punching of the base material from a sheet-metal is conceivable here.

In a next step, a curved or U-shaped cut is made in a first section in the base material - for example by punching or cutting - whereby a second, tongue-like shaped or U-shaped section is formed in the first section. In particular, the cut proceeds from an area of the base material through which passes a center line of the base material. The open, uncut portion of the cut is substantially aligned with the midline.

In the following, the bending of the first section about a first bending axis and the bending of the second section about a second bending axis. The bending operations can be carried out sequentially or simultaneously. In particular, the first bending axis is located in a region of a center line of the base material. In addition, it is conceivable that the second bending axis is parallel to the first bending axis, but an offset between the bending axes is provided.

Said method is designed such that one or more of the aforementioned embodiments of a holding device can be produced.

Furthermore, it is within the scope of the invention to combine the individual features of the preceding, described embodiments for solving the problem in such a way that correspondingly further embodiments are to be understood as consequently disclosed.

embodiments

aid 1 . 2 and 3 is an embodiment of the holding device 1 detailed and size ratios made clear. 1 is a perspective view of a front side of the holding device 1 , where the holder 2 is arranged on a not shown, vertically extending wall. According to this illustration, the first carrying hook 13 the first hook device 10 and the second carrying hook 23 the second hook device 20 shown in perspective protruding. Both hook devices ten and 20 thus each form an upward 5 open hanging opening 16 and 26 ,

2 is a side view of the holding device 1 along the first bending axis 11 and / or second bending axis 21 , whereby the length ratios of the individual suspension hooks 13 and 23 to each other and the corresponding bends are clarified.

Accordingly, using a top view in 3 the ratio of the width of the carrying hooks 13 and 23 explained.

Based 4 intended is the process for the preparation of the holding device 1 from a base material 4 towards the holding device 1 to be discribed. In the following description is on all 1 to 4 Be referred.

The first carrying hook 13 the holding device 1 is by a bent first section 12 of the base material 4 educated. The bending process runs essentially around the bending axis 11 so the first section 12 the function of the first carrying hook 13 falls. The bending step is designed so that the first support hook 13 with the surface 3 of the owner 2 includes an angle α, which is about 35 ° ( 2 and 4 ).

The next to the first section 12 of the base material 4 remaining part takes over the function of the holder 2 , Especially based 2 becomes clear that thus by the holder 2 , the first hook section 13 and the connecting bend the hook device 10 is formed. With respect to a mounting position of the holding device 1 is the hook device 10 aligned so that this is an upwardly 5 open suspension opening 16 having. The suspension opening 16 serves when using the holding device 1 to mount fasteners from hanging objects, such as the hanger of a jacket.

The second hook device 20 is made of the material of the base material 4 Shaped by in the first section 12 made a U-shaped cut and thus a tongue-like or U-shaped area is formed. As in 4 can be seen, the cut originates - for example, introduced by punching or laser cutting - a central region of the base material 4 , in the area and perpendicular to a center line of the base material 4 , By bending the second section 22 around the second bending axis 21 from the plane of the base material 4 out (see dashed line in 4 ) becomes the second hook device 20 shaped. The second bending axis 21 has an offset V to the first bending axis 11 on, creating an intermediate area 27 formed in the second section. This intermediate area 27 remains in unbent state in the plane of the base material 4 or the holder 2 ,

When bending the second carrying hook 23 is between the second carrying hook 23 and the surface 3 of the owner 2 or the intermediate section 27 an acute angle β formed, wherein the angle β is substantially equal to the angle α between the first support hook 13 and the holder 2 is. The second carrying hook 23 the second hook device 20 thus corresponds to the recess 14 in the first part 12 of the base material 4 or in the first carrying hook 13 the holding device 1 , The width b2 of the second support hook 23 thus corresponds to the width of the recess 14 in the first carrying hook 23 and the width of the second section 22 in the base material 4 ,

The second hook device 20 is like the first hook device 10 up 5 open and thus also has a hanging opening 26 on. As in 2 to recognize, is the Einhängeöffnung 26 smaller in cross-section than the suspension opening 16 , as these at least partially through the overlying first hook device 10 is superimposed. Due to the concept of the first carrying hook 13 and the second carrying hook 23 with an intermediate offset V is achieved that between the first support hook 13 and the second carrying hook 23 a distance A of the suspension opening 26 is available. The distance A is about 25 mm.

The first carrying hook 13 and the second carrying hook 23 each have a substantially flat surfaces 15 and 25 on. These surfaces 15 and 25 thus form a corresponding plane of the first support hook 13 and the second carrying hook 23 out.

According to 4 becomes the first section 12 of about one half of the base material 4 formed, or the first support hook 23 and the holder 2 be by about the center bending of the base material 4 shaped. Thus, a length L1 corresponds to the first support hook 13 in about half the length L of the base material 4 ,

Due to the fact that the second section 22 the second carrying hook 23 forms and at the same time substantially completely in the first section 22 of the base material 4 is the length L2 of the second support hook 23 less than the length L1 of the first support hook 13 , In the present case, the length L1 of the first support hook 13 twice the length L2 of the second carrying hook 23 ,

The strength s of the base material 4 is about 2 mm.

3 and 4 make it clear that the width of the base material 4 on the one hand, the width B of the first hook device 13 and width of the holding device 1 equivalent. The width b2 of the second section 22 and the second carrying hook 23 is much smaller than the width B of the first support hook 13 and in this case is about 35% of the width B of the first carrying hook 13 ,

While specific embodiments have been illustrated and described herein, it is within the scope of the present invention to properly modify the illustrated embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention. The following claims are a first, non-binding attempt to broadly define the invention.
