'PLASTIC HANGER FOR A BANANA HAND "

The invention relates to a plastic hanger for a banana hand, with a hanging hook for hanging of the hanger on a carrying device, further with an organ formed at the end of an arm for hanging a banana hand on the hanger, as well as one arranged between the hanging hook and the said organ Area for holding a label.

A large number of hangers of the type just mentioned are already known, by means of which banana hands When preparing for sale, the price tag, usually one of one, must be provided on the one hand to take up printing scales issued adhesive label and on the other hand to create a means by means of which the banana hand on the way to the retail outlet and hung on a hook or pole can be transported or presented for sale.

There are a number of such hangers, despite the fact that it is a decidedly mass-produced item made by requirements. So they should not only be easy, quick and safe, but without the risk of Injury to the sensitive bananas can be hooked into a banana hand and then securely with the banded hand remain connected, but sio should also for the purpose of space-saving storage and a machine Delivery can be stacked and of course as cheap as possible. It has been shown that these goals work best can be approximated by plastic hangers of the type mentioned above.

For example, from CH-PS 532 924 a hanger is known in which the label receiving surface by a substantially flat plate is formed, which protrudes a suspension hook in the plate plane from an edge and protruding from the opposite edge as a suspension element, two expandable from the plane of the plate, Has resilient arms. One of these arms is at its free end to one directed against the other arm Hook bent, while the other arm is essentially straight, the side opening of the bent

130052/0630

Arm and over the free end of the latter protrudes.

The hanger known from DE-OS 27 28 3 34, for example, differs from this hanger primarily by a different design of the arms carrying the suspension elements. These run roughly parallel to each other and wear barbs at their ends in one example and transverse webs in the other example, as a result of which opposite the first-mentioned known hanger more than one banana is grasped behind on its stem.

All of the aforementioned, known hangers have approximately the same size and material requirements. Your length, from Suspension hook up to the end of the suspension element (s), due to the length of the latter bearing Arms about twice the extension of the label receiving area in this direction. The length of the arms is necessary so that between the suspension element or the suspension elements and the associated edge of the plate leaves enough space for the banana stalk (s). A disadvantage with this bckcinnten hangers too felt that when the goods are presented at the

13ÖQ52 / 0 6-3Q

Cash register of a self-service shop or when packing and unpacking in or out of a shopping bag on the bananas, that then the hanger disruptively abraqt from the hand of the banana.

This article can therefore still be improved in spite of the large variety of different proposals .

With the present invention, the object is achieved to create a hanger of the type mentioned, which, while retaining all the advantages of the previously known hanger, allows additional material savings for its production, has smaller dimensions and is attached to the outer surface of the Banana hand clings to the fused end of the same and thereby not only makes it easier to press the label onto the automatic reader, but at the same time also covers the fused part, i.e. the most unattractive part of the banana hand.

For this purpose, the hanger according to the invention is characterized in that the suspension hook and the hanging element

1 30052/0630

are connected to one another by a web, which forms the said arm, and that is the label receiving surface by a surface connected to the web in the area of the suspension hook and resiliently bendable from the web is formed.

With this configuration, the weight of the suspended banana hand is placed directly on the suspension hook via the web and which are formed, for example, by two wing-like, resilient lobes running on both sides of the web The area for receiving the label no longer has a load-bearing function and can accordingly save material run thinner. In addition, since the labeling surface can be bent out, the suspension element can directly to the edge of the surface facing it, so that the hanger around the length of the The hook arms of the previously known hangers can be shorter, which in addition to the gain in space, an additional material saving permitted.

The label receiving surface expediently points in the area of the suspension element has a V-shaped incision, which

13ÖÖ52 / 0S3Ö

takes up at least part of the hanging organ and which is partially closed to the outside by the suspension element. Due to the high elasticity of the With the label receiving part, such a hanger can be attached very easily and gently to the banana hand, by pushing the label mounting area away from the web and the latter then with the suspension element for reaching under the bananas between two neighboring ones Bananas pushed in flat and then turned. With the appropriate suspension of the hanger, the buyer the curved and more beautiful side should be turned towards the banana hand, while at the same time through the on the The curved outside of the banana hand is adjacent to the label receiving surface the label is clearly visible and the less beautiful root of the banana hand is covered.

In order to achieve a high degree of elasticity and flexibility of the label receptacle, it can also be provided be that this area has a comparatively narrow connection point in the area of the The suspension hook connects to the web on both sides, the connection points being perpendicular in the plane of the hanger Form bending axes running towards the web. Here

130052/0630

can the label receiving surface on its one, the side facing away from the label carrying reinforcing ribs, one of which is from one side of the web on the connection points with the web the other side of the bridge passes over. This allows the label receiving surface to be particularly thin and thus to make flexible and material-saving, in particular much thinner than the suspension hook, the web and the hanging organ.

The latter can expediently comprise a hook from which in the plane of extension of the flat hanger a support spur protrudes from the outside in such a way that both the hook and the support spur in the attached state grasp one banana stalk each under the banana hand. This ensures that, although the hanger is only one Arm, two bananas are grasped by their stalk.

An example embodiment of the subject matter of the invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing. Show it:

Fig. 1 is a rear view of a hanger for a banana hand, and

Fig. 2 is a standing section through the hanger along the Section line II - II in FIG. 1.

* λα.

The illustrated hanger 5 for a banana hand, made in one piece from plastic, comprises a suspension hook 1 and a suspension element 2, 3 for suspending a banana hand (not shown in detail), the suspension hook and suspension element being connected by an elongated web 4. A wing-like resilient tab 6 and 7 protrude from the web 4 on both sides, which together form a surface for receiving a label (not shown). The two tabs 6 and 7 each adjoin the web 4 via a comparatively narrow connection point 8 and 9 in the area of the suspension hook 1 and are otherwise only separated from the web 4 by a narrow slot. The connection points 8 and 9 run in the plane of the hanger 5 perpendicular to the web 4 and form a bending axis for the respective wing. The two tabs and 7 are made thinner than the suspension hook 1, the web 4 and the suspension element 2, 3, as the figure clearly shows. The required strength is ensured by the fact that the wing-like tabs 6 and 7 carry reinforcing ribs 11 and 11 on their rear side which is shown and which faces away from the label-bearing surface, the rib 10 ₍ as shown, from one side

130052/0830

Flap over the connection points 8, 9 on top of the other Flap passes over.

Another special feature of the illustrated hanger is the design of its suspension element 2, 3 to see. This comprises a hook 2 bent in the plane of the hanger 5, of which hook 2 is also shown in FIG a support spur 3 protrudes from the plane of extension of the hanger to the outside. Support when hooked both the hook 2 and the spur 3 each have a stem from two adjacent bananas of the banana hand in question. As a result, the hook 2 can be made somewhat thinner than was possible without a spur. To the hanger To be able to produce as small and material-saving as possible, the two tabs 6,7 are in the area of the Hook 2 shaped so that they form a V-shaped opening 12 which, as shown, is part of the hook 2 receives and which is partially closed to the outside by the hook 2. This allows the web 4 Keep it even shorter and ensures that the label holder area of the hanger is in use the same covers the unsightly root of the banana hand.

η.

The same material as for the can be used as the starting material for the hanger described Hangers known at the outset, but the various measures mentioned allow a 10-20% strength Material savings compared to those.
