Connection device for clothes hangers

The invention relates to a device with which a clothes hanger |

is attached to the next one, offset in height. I.

A device of this type is known from US Pat. No. 4,007,861 which |

consists of a flat elastic plastic strip in which έ;

Slits have been cut to allow the hanging hooks to pass through |

the clothes hanger to be taken and the clothes hanger to be attached. This device is

especially afflicted with the serious disadvantage that it is particularly |

is cumbersome to attach the bracket through the two slots of this!,

Threading device; so it is not possible to open the |

to hold the taking bracket and with the second the bracket to be attached |

thread, as at least one extra hand is required to pull the flat |

Ϊ μ plastic strips so to bieaen. that an eyelet for receiving the V

I hanging clothes hanger is created. Should the plastic strip be stable

be enough to put several hangers with clothes on top of each other |

the necessary strength of the material complicates the '

Handling even more. i

The invention has for its object to provide a connecting device for t

To create clothes hangers while avoiding the deficiencies shown, the |

is easy to use, enables space-saving storage of clothing, can be manufactured as an inexpensive mass-produced item and is a universal practical application for connecting clothes hangers, trouser and skirt holders etc. in any order and in any order only limited by the amount of space available _{This is achieved according to the invention in that a horizontal loop (1 T} 2) encompassing the hook shaft (8a, 9a) is made from a rigid material.

is formed and this loop in a hook (3, 16) for receiving the The suspension hook (9, 10) of each further clothes hanger passes over, the opening of which is vertical and perpendicular to the loop.

The connecting device according to the invention enables one to date unknown, practically advantageous application in the household and in clothing stores. In the household, for example, several shirts can be staggered one below the other in the wardrobe to save space In a clothing store, for example, jacket, trousers and shirt, put together according to fashion criteria, presented together will. Both the extension of a connecting chain of clothes racks upwards or downwards as well as the removal or insertion of individual ones Clothes hanger with an item of clothing is possible with very simple handling thanks to the features of the connecting device according to the invention. The connecting device according to the invention thus replaces complex so-called multiple brackets with easier handling and minimal costs can only be used for, for example, four trousers or only for four blouses or shirts.

Embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings and are described in more detail below = This is how Figures 2, 3, 4 and 6 show the horizontal loop (2) encompassing the hook shaft (8a, 9a) as a closed one Ring with oval shape, preferably to adapt to clothes hangers of different thicknesses, while FIG. 1 shows a horizontal Loop (1) shows, which is open on the front of the bracket and with one end (4) bent downwards as a stop on the anti-twist protection Bracket transverse web (13, 14) is formed.

FIG. 1 also shows an exemplary embodiment with an extension web (7) which, depending on the length, has a particularly desired height graduation of hanging clothes.

Figure 3 shows an extension (6) upwards on an oval eyelet (2) trained horizontal loop. This extension serves as a support against the hook shaft and thus prevents the load on the hook (3) Rotation of the connecting device in the direction of the hook (3).

FIG. 4 shows an embodiment with a horizontal extension (5 a); as a result, the hook (3) is at a corresponding distance from the clothes hanger held, with an additional supporting web (5) takes over the function of supporting on the bracket of the hook (3).

Figure 5 shows the function of the connecting device according to the invention, the hook (8) of the clothes hanger (13) receiving the connecting device (11) on the hook shaft (8a) and the hook (9) approximately at the level of the upper edge (13 a) of the receiving bracket (13) holds. The clothes hanger (14) in turn holds the connecting device (12) at the level of its upper edge (14 a) Hook (10) of the further bracket (15).

FIG. 6 shows an embodiment with an essentially oval ring-shaped Loop (2) in a horizontal position connected to the closed hook (16) in a preferred oval shape and vertically in a vertical position to the horizontal loop.

The connecting devices shown by way of example in the drawings are designed as injection-molded plastic parts. When adapted to suit the material the connecting devices according to the invention are also used in other solid materials such as steel wire, steel strip and other manufacturing processes manufacturable.
