''Plastic hangers for holding and presenting goods of socks or similar"

The invention relates to a plastic hanger for holding and presenting socks or the like, consisting of an upper hanger bar equipped with a molded hook part and a holding bar molded onto it at one end at a distance, which forms a holder O for the goods that can be opened or closed.

Such a plastic hanger for holding two pairs of socks is known. At one end of the bar, which is equipped with a hook part, two legs are formed at a distance from each other in a plane perpendicular to the plane of the hanger, which can be clipped together at their free ends in the direction of the plane of the hanger and in this closed position form the holder for the socks. The disadvantage of this hanger is the fact that the closure of the two legs that form the holding bar opens inadvertently in a vertical direction downwards and that the socks to be held on these legs

• · · &igr;

presenting socks can be moved or pushed together,

A one-piece flat plastic hanger is also known, in the form of a clamp that is open on one side. Here, a holding bar is also formed on a hanger bar with a molded plastic hanger at one end, parallel to the plane of the hanger and at a distance from the hanger bar. The pair of socks is inserted through the open end of the plastic hanger and is then held between the interlocking surfaces of the two bars if the material is thick enough. However, such a plastic hanger does not secure the goods being held. There is a risk that the goods being held could accidentally be pulled out of the hanger or also be pushed together on this hanger.

The object of the invention is therefore to propose a plastic hanger on which the goods to be presented, in particular pairs of socks, are held sufficiently secured against unintentional displacement or removal.

The inventive task is solved with a plastic bracket with all the features of claim 1.

-v The plastic hanger according to the invention clamps the goods to be presented between the hanger bar and the holding bar, so that it cannot be accidentally moved sideways. The securing closure can only be deliberately released by pushing the end of the holding bar out of a securing receptacle. Under no circumstances can the holding hanger come loose from the securing receptacle when the goods are pulled.

The special design of the plastic bracket according to claims 2 and 3 ensures that the goods to be presented are easily clamped into the plastic bracket. The securing of the retaining bar on the bracket bar is according to claims 4 and 5

designed in such a way that unintentional release of the retaining bar is not possible.

The invention is explained in more detail below using an illustrated embodiment. Shown are: |

The plastic hanger shown for holding and presenting goods of socks or similar consists of the hanger bar 1, which has a T-shaped profile in cross-section, and the holding bar 2, which is molded onto it via the slightly resilient elastic connecting area 3, and which is also T-shaped except for its front free end 7. A hook part is molded onto the hanger bar 1 approximately in the middle. A tab-like element 5 is molded onto the free end of the hanger bar 1 to form a securing receptacle pointing downwards, with a lower nose 6 attached at a right angle, which forms a pocket 8 for the flat free end 7 of the holding bar 2 in the closed position.

As can be seen from Figure 1, the flat web 21 of the retaining web 2 in the closed position rests approximately centrally on the flat web 11 of the bracket web 1 in a spring-clamping manner. The necessary pre-tension is achieved via the connecting link designed as a joint.

area 3, the acute-angled arrangement of the retaining web 2 in the opening position to the bracket web 1 and by the supported securing of the free end 7 in the holder 8.

The connecting area 3 is designed in the form of an open ring with respect to the flat webs 11 and 21 that merge into one another. This promotes the joint function and the sufficient strength of the area. The relatively large radius of the inner transition between the two webs 1 and 2 is also important.
