4 hangers, especially for combs and brushes

s The invention relates to a hanger, in particular for combs, brushes and all-

7 common for elongated objects, such as cosmetic pencils or the like. Such

8 trailers are used to attach the items in question to a presentation

9 presentation stand, a self-seller, a sales shelf or similar clearly visible

10 and present it in a visually appealing manner.

12 The object of the invention is to propose a hanger which

13 has been improved in terms of handling and production.

is This object is achieved by a hanger having the features of claim 1

16. Then the comb, brush or other elongated

&igr;? The holding part for the object is a flat cut out of elastic material or

ie a plate or foil-shaped flat part with at least one pair of spaced

19 essentially parallel slots. The slots are

21 of the hanger. The two slots close between each other between a

22 retaining bar, which, when an object is inserted into the slots, either

23 visibly in front of this object, such as a brush handle, or behind it.

21 A further advantageous embodiment consists in that the slots of the first

22 pair of slots are longer than those of the second pair of slots. With the help of this

23 design it is possible to hang different width objects on the hanger

1. For example, it is useful to fix a relatively narrow

2 hair comb using the short slots and a brush with a

3 relatively wide brush handle using the long slots. Preferably

4 is a shorter slot between the longer slots of the first slot

5 pairs arranged.

7 The slots are mirror-symmetrical to the longitudinal axis of the holding part.

8 ensures that a hanger according to the invention can be

9 hung object can be aligned vertically. Because the edges

10 the slots are spaced apart from each other at least in their middle area

11, the insertion of an object is made easier. The slot edges

12 preferably run in a circular or elliptical shape. Preferably

13, the slots on both sides lead into hole-shaped cutouts in the holding part of the

14 hangers. This prevents the slit ends from tearing.

ie The invention will now be described with reference to an embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings.

17th embodiment is explained in more detail:

2 A hanger according to the invention consists of a holding part 1 and a

3 molded hooks 2. Holding part 1 and hook 2 are in a common plane

4 plane. In other words, the hanger is supported by a plate or

5 foil-shaped flat part. Instead of a hook 2, a tab with

7 can be hung on a wire end or similar of a sales stand.

9 The holding part is essentially square, with its corners

10 have a bevel 3. In the holding part there are a total of two pairs of slots 4, 5

11, whereby the slots 6, 7 of the first pair of slots 4 are longer than the

12 slots 8, 9 of the second pair of slots 5. The slots are transverse to the central longitudinal

13 axis 10 of the hanger, whereby this axis runs vertically in the state of use μgr;. The second pair of slots 5 is arranged so that its one

16 det. The second, shorter slot 9 is located on the side of the slot 7 facing the hook 2. The slot edges 11 are circular, elliptical or are designed in the manner of a polygon and therefore have a

19 longitudinal axis 10 towards the slot ends decreasing distance. The slot

20 ends open into hole-shaped recesses 12. The hook 12 is held by a

21 formed by a web 13 which extends from a corner area 14 of the holding

22 extends partly obliquely upwards and its free end is bent in a hook shape

&zgr; In Fig. 2 it is shown how an object, such as a brush 15 with its hand-

3 handle 15 can be fastened in the hanger according to the invention. For wider counter-

4 stands, as is the case with a brush handle, is expediently

5 the first pair of slots 4 with its wider slots is used. If a

6 object is inserted into the slots, the corresponding slot edges

7 of 11 are moved apart in the direction of the double arrow 16. In doing so, the slot ends are heavily loaded. Because the slot ends are cut into hole-shaped

9 recesses 12, a tearing of the slot edges, approximately in the direction

10 of arrow 17 prevented.

12 Fig.3 shows the fixation of a pocket comb 18. Such combs

13 generally have a small width, so that the use of the second slot pair 5 with its shorter slots 8, 9 is expedient here.

is A trailer according to the invention does not necessarily have to be designed

17 that pairs of slots of equal length are present. Rather, there can be slots

18 ze with any shape, adapted to the shape of the object to be fixed

ig length. The material for a hanger according to the invention is

20 Preferably a recyclable material, such as PE, is used.
