Mahrfaeh coat hanger with latch.

The innovation relates to a multiple clothes hanger with a rotating clothes rack for holding several items of clothing, whereby the pivot point between the holder equipped with a handle for hanging on a clothes rail and the clothes rack consisting of several support bars which are firmly connected via a crossbar is designed as a multiple locking mechanism which can be locked into different angular positions via the sawn-off rotating circle of the clothes rack, whereby the locking mechanism is fixed by the load on the clothes rack and is released by slightly lifting the clothes rack.
The advantage here is that the clothes rack, which folds vertically to save space when storing clothes, does not have to be folded completely horizontally to hang up or take out clothes when space is limited in the wardrobe, but can be folded diagonally to suit the space available in the wardrobe, thus reducing the width of the clothes rack, with all positions of the clothes rack being securely fixed by the multiple locking mechanisms, even when the clothes rack is loaded asymmetrically. This also makes it possible to equip the clothes rack with the multiple locking mechanisms outside of the center of gravity axis, so that when the clothes rack is folded vertically to store clothes, the upper support rod almost reaches the height of the clothes rod in the wardrobe, significantly increasing the ground clearance of the multi-compartment clothes hanger.

In comparison, there are multiple hangers for hanging on a clothes rail, e.g. for ties, ladies' skirts, which are always installed vertically. For hanging

or taking out trousers, towels and the like they are not suitable because they hang on top of each other.

Then there are support bars for clothes hangers with 2 movable eyelets or hooks for hanging on a clothes rail, where after the hanger is hung up a hook is released so that the support bar folds down. See P-DE 2916906C2, Class A 47 G 25/04 and DS-DE 33359939 A 1, Class A47G25/04. These support bars can only be used for clothes hangers. Then there is a swiveling multiple clothes hanger with the previously mentioned support bar and sliding support bars in it, where a hook is also released after hanging up trousers and the like so that the support bar with the support bars folds down. See G-8712870.5, Class A47G25/18. This multiple clothes hanger also only has one horizontal and one vertical position, whereby if the load is asymmetrical, there is a risk that the support bars will shift and the items of clothing on one support bar will slide together or fall off. Then there are multiple hangers with rotating clothes racks, where the clothes rack is held in its respective position by two discs attached to the pivot point, which rub against each other when the clothes hanger is loaded. Since the friction conditions can vary greatly, the desired fixation of the clothes rack is questionable, especially if the clothes rack is loaded asymmetrically.

The innovative idea behind the multiple clothes hanger with locking mechanism was to avoid the disadvantages mentioned above and to create a multiple clothes hanger in which the clothes rack is fixed in different positions for easy hanging and removing of the clothes, so that even in tight spaces in the clothes hanger

and even with asymmetrical loading of the clothes rack, the handling !figure eight is possible«

The basic idea is that the pivot point of the rotating clothes rack is designed as a multiple stop, which has stop positions over the entire rotation circle of the clothes rack, whereby the selected stop position is fixed by the load on the clothes rack and is released by lifting the clothes rack (tilting movement relative to the holder of the multiple clothes hanger).

The innovation is explained below using the examples shown in the following drawings.

Fig. 1 shows the general arrangement of the multiple locking mechanism on a multiple coat hanger.

This includes:

(1) swivel clothes rack

(2) Holder of the multiple coat hanger with handle

(3) Multiple rest

(4) Locking part of the multiple locking mechanism on the clothes rack

Fig. 2 to Fig. 4 show different embodiments of the multiple locking mechanism.

In Fig. 2, a round bolt (9) with locking cams (5) running all around in the longitudinal direction of the bolt is attached to the clothes rack (1), which extend from the clothes rack (1) to approximately half the length of the bolt. An approximately elliptical-shaped piece of pipe (10) is attached to the bracket (2) as a counterpart, which has a locking cam (7) in the longitudinal direction of the pipe at the end remote from the bracket (2) and which has approximately the same length as

4< it it iH* I* **

the locking cams (5) on the bolt (9) are internal. To connect the two locking pieces, the bolt (9) has an extension (19) with a smaller cross-section which is provided with a bead at the end and a slot for pressing them together, while the holder (2) has a hole (20) inside the pipe section (10) into which the extension (19) engages, the diameter of the hole (20) being selected so that the bolt (9) can be turned as well as tilted slightly. When the clothes rack (1) is loaded, depending on the position of the clothes rack, a recess between two locking cams (5) of the bolt (9) on the locking cam (7) forms, so that the clothes rack (1) is locked in this position. If the clothes rack (1) is tilted against the holder (2), the distance (8) between the elliptical pipe section (10) and the bolt (9) with locking cams (5) is sufficient to unlock the multiple locking mechanism (3) so that the clothes rack (1) can be rotated.

The same function is shown in Fig. 3, where the bolt (9) is fixed to the clothes rack by a pipe section (11) with internal locking cams (5) running all the way around.

(1) removed end is replaced, while on the bracket

(2) an approximately elliptical bolt (12) is attached, which has a locking cam (7) at the bottom starting from the bracket (2), while the bolt (12) at the top must have the distance (8) to the locking cams (5) of the pipe section (11) on the clothes rack (1). To connect the two locking pieces, the extension (19) is attached to the bolt (12), corresponding to the hole (20)

piece (11).

In Fig. 4, the locking pieces of the multiple locking on the clothes rack (1) and the bracket (2) are shown as discs (13,14)

with radially extending locking cams (17) on the opposite surfaces (15,16) of the disks (13,14), the connection between the two locking pieces being carried out in the same way with the extension (19) and the bore (20), but the extension (19) receives a collar (21) on the side of the bore (20) opposite the bead as a stop for maintaining the distance dimension (8) between the locking cams (17) of both disks.

Fig. 5 shows a multiple clothes hanger in which the multiple catch (3) is located outside the central axis of the clothes rack (1). The catch part (4) on the clothes rack

(1) is then attached outside the middle to the crossbar (18) of the clothes rack (1), so that when the clothes rack (1) is folded into the vertical position, the longest part of the clothes rack (1) can be folded upwards , whereby the free space up to the clothes rail in the wardrobe is used and a greater ground clearance of the clothes rack results.
