Abstract

The invention relates to a tamper-proof hanger comprising at least one arm forming gripping jaw movably mounted in the plane of the hanger and whose mobile end may be applied against a part of the top edge of the bar supporting a garment, thus gripping a garment hanging on the hanger between the arm and the bar, and means for locking the mobile arm in closed position. This hanger is intended to prevent the theft of the garments, particularly in stores or cloakrooms.

Description

La présente invention concerne un cintre antivol.The present invention relates to an anti-theft hanger.

On utilise couramment des cintres en bois, métal ou matière plastique, qui comportent une baguette supérieure inclinée vers le bas de chaque côté du cintre et à la partie supérieure et centrale de laquelle est fixé un crochet de suspension. Ces cintres comportent en outre éventuellement une baguette inférieure horizontale s'étendant entre les deux extrémités inférieures de la baguette supérieure. Cette baguette supérieure sert à suspendre des vestes, manteaux, robes, etc, tandis que la baguette inférieure horizontale est utilisée pour d'autres articles tels que des pantalons.Wood, metal or plastic hangers are commonly used, which have an upper rod inclined downward on each side of the hanger and to the upper and central part of which is fixed a hanging hook. These hangers also optionally include a horizontal lower strip extending between the two lower ends of the upper strip. This upper rod is used to hang jackets, coats, dresses, etc., while the horizontal lower rod is used for other items such as pants.

Ces cintres sont normalement suspendus, par leurs crochets, à des barres horizontales et de ce fait ils peuvent être volés très aisément avec les vêtements qu'ils supportent.These hangers are normally suspended, by their hooks, on horizontal bars and therefore they can be stolen very easily with the clothes they support.

La présente invention vise essentiellement à remédier à cet inconvénient grâce à la prévision d'un cintre de conception particulièrement simple et muni d'un dispositif antivol.The present invention essentially aims to remedy this drawback by providing a hanger of particularly simple design and provided with an anti-theft device.

A cet effet ce cintre antivol comportant au moins une baguette supérieure destinée à supporter un vêtement, baguette dont les deux branches latérales sont inclinées vers le bas et qui porte, dans sa partie centrale, un crochet de suspension s'étendant verticalement et dont la partie supérieure courbée est destinée à être accrochée à une barre de suspension, est caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte au moins un bras formant mâchoire de pince, monté mobile dans le plan du cintre et dont l'extrémité mobile peut venir s'appliquer contre une partie du bord supérieur de la baguette formant support du vêtement, pour pincer ainsi, en position de fermeture, un vêtement suspendu au cintre entre le bras et la baguette, et des moyens de verrouiliage du bras mobile en position de fermeture.To this end, this anti-theft hanger comprising at least one upper rod intended to support a garment, rod whose two lateral branches are inclined downward and which carries, in its central part the, a suspension hook extending vertically and the curved upper part of which is intended to be hung on a suspension bar, is characterized in that it comprises at least one arm forming a clamp jaw, mounted movable in the plane of the hanger and the movable end of which can be applied against a part of the upper edge of the rod forming the garment support, so as to pinch, in the closed position, a garment suspended from the hanger between the arm and the rod, and means for locking the movable arm in the closed position.

Les moyens de verrouillage sont avantageusement constitués par un mécanisme unique logé dans la partie centrale du cintre et pouvant être manoeuvré au moyen d'une clé utilisée seulement par un vendeur de magasin. Suivant une caractéristique complémentaire de l'invention, le cintre comporte un organe mobile assurant la fermeture complète du crochet autour de la barre de suspension, cet organe mobile pouvant être actionné par le mécanisme de verrouillage de manière à pouvoir libérer le cintre de sa barre de suspension au moyen de la clé commandant le mécanisme de verrouillage. Le cintre suivant l'invention offre l'avantage d'être maintenu en permanence attaché à sa barre de suspension et de ne pouvoir être séparé de cette dernière qu'à la suite d'une intervention manuelle d'un vendeur. De la même façon les divers vêtements suspendus au cintre ne peuvent être détachés de celui-ci qu'après intervention manuelle d'un vendeur. On évite ainsi à coup sûr tout risque de vol.The locking means are advantageously constituted by a single mechanism housed in the central part of the hanger and which can be operated by means of a key used only by a store seller. According to an additional characteristic of the invention, the hanger comprises a movable member ensuring the complete closure of the hook around the suspension bar, this movable member being able to be actuated by the locking mechanism so as to be able to release the hanger from its bar. suspension by means of the key controlling the locking mechanism. The hanger according to the invention has the advantage of being permanently attached to its suspension bar and of being able to be separated from the latter only after manual intervention by a seller. In the same way, the various garments hanging on the hanger can only be detached from it after manual intervention by a seller. This avoids any risk of theft.

On décrira ci-après, à titre d'exemples non limitatifs, diverses formes d'exécution de la présente invention en référence au dessin annexé sur lequel :

  • La figure 1 est une yue en élévation schématique d'un cintre antivol suivant l'invention.
  • La figure 2 est une vue en perspective schématique d'une variante d'exécution.
Various embodiments of the present invention will be described below, by way of non-limiting examples, with reference to the appended drawing in which:
  • Figure 1 is a schematic elevation view of an anti-theft hanger according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 is a schematic perspective view of an execution variant.

Le cintre antivol représenté sur la figure 1 comprend une baguette supérieure arquée 1 entre les extrémités inférieures de laquelle s'étend une baguette rectiligne horizontale 2. Sur la baguette supérieure arquée 1 sont suspendus des vêtements tels que vestes, manteaux, etc. alors que la baguette inférieure horizontale 2 sert à suppor-' ter des pantalons ou autres articles similaires. La baguette supérieure arquée 1 est solidaire d'une façon connue, dans sa partie centrale 1a qui constitue son sommet, d'un crochet 3 qui est destiné à porter sur une barre de suspension 4.The anti-theft hanger shown in FIG. 1 comprises an upper arched rod 1 between the lower ends of which extends a horizontal rectilinear rod 2. On the upper arched rod 1 are hung garments such as jackets, coats, etc. while the lower horizontal strip 2 is used to support pants or the like. The arched upper rod 1 is integral in a known manner, in its central part 1a which constitutes its top, with a hook 3 which is intended to bear on a suspension bar 4.

Le cintre antivol représenté sur la figure 1 comprend deux bras 5, 6 formant mâchoires de pince, qui s'étendent latéralement au-dessus de la baguette arquée supérieure 1. Ces deux bras 5, 6 sont montés mobiles verticalement, dans le plan du cintre et ils peuvent ainsi coulisser entre une position de fermeture représentée en trait plein sur la figure 1 et une position d'ouverture indiquée partiellement en traits mixtes. Ces deux bras 5 et 6 sont réunis par une traverse horizontale 7 dont est issue, vers le haut, une partie formant griffe 1a et qui est un des éléments constitutifs du crochet 3. Cette griffe la est recourbée à sa partie supérieure et en position de fermeture sa partie extrême recourbée se trouve à l'alignement d'une patte verticale fixe 8 issue du bord supérieur de la partie centrale la. En position de fermeture, la partie 3a formant griffe et la patte verticale 8 entourent complètement la barre de suspension 4 et empêchent ainsi que le cintre ne soit détaché de cette barre.The anti-theft hanger shown in FIG. 1 comprises two arms 5, 6 forming clamp jaws, which extend laterally above the upper arched rod 1. These two arms 5, 6 are mounted vertically movable in the plane of the hanger and they can thus slide between a closed position shown in solid lines in Figure 1 and an open position indicated partially in phantom. These two arms 5 and 6 are joined by a horizontal cross-member 7 from which comes, upwards, a part forming claw 1a and which is one of the constituent elements of the hook 3. This claw 1 is bent at its upper part and in the position of closure its curved end part is aligned with a fixed vertical tab 8 coming from the upper edge of the central part 1a. In the closed position, the part 3a forming a claw and the vertical tab 8 completely surround the suspension bar 4 and thus prevent the hanger from being detached from this bar.

Les bras 5, 6 formant mâchoires de pince sont recourbés ou inclinés en direction des deux branches de la baguette supérieure 1 et ils se terminent de préférence, à leurs extrémités inférieures, par des patins d'appui 9, 10, qui peuvent être par exemple en mousse plastique. En position de fermeture ces patins sont appliqués sous pression contre les bords supérieurs des deux branches de la baguette arquée 1, empêchant ainsi qu'un vêtement tel que veste, manteau, ne soit enlevé du cintre.The arms 5, 6 forming clamp jaws are bent or inclined in the direction of the two branches of the upper rod 1 and they terminate in preferably, at their lower ends, by support pads 9, 10, which may for example be made of plastic foam. In the closed position, these pads are applied under pressure against the upper edges of the two branches of the arched rod 1, thus preventing clothing such as jacket, coat, from being removed from the hanger.

Le cintre représenté sur la figure 1 comporte également des moyens pour assurer l'immobilisation d'un pantalon sur la baguette inférieure horizontale 2. Ces moyens comprennent une barre verticale 11 qui est solidaire de la traverse horizontale 7 et qui s'étend vers le bas à partir de cette dernière. Cette barre verticale 11 traverse un logement vertical ménagé dans la partie centrale et supérieure la de la baguette arquée 1 et se termine, à son extrémité inférieure, par un patin 12 venant en appui contre la baguette rectiligne horizontale 2. On voit qu'en position de fermeture un pantalon placé sur cette baguette 2 se trouve être immobilisé en étant pincé entre le patin 12 et la baguette 2.The hanger shown in Figure 1 also includes means for securing pants on the horizontal lower rod 2. These means comprise a vertical bar 11 which is integral with the horizontal cross member 7 and which extends downwards from the latter. This vertical bar 11 passes through a vertical housing formed in the central and upper part 1a of the arched rod 1 and ends, at its lower end, by a shoe 12 coming to bear against the horizontal rectilinear rod 2. It can be seen that in position closing pants placed on this rod 2 is immobilized by being pinched between the shoe 12 and the rod 2.

Le cintre antivol représenté sur la figure 1 comporte ainsi un ensemble mobile verticalement, cet ensemble monobloc comprenant les deux bras latéraux 5, 6 formant mâchoires de pince, la barre verticale 11 formant pince de pantalon et la partie formant griffe 3a du crochet 3. Cet ensemble est maintenu en position de fermeture par un mécanisme de verrouillage approprié 13 logé dans la partie centrale la de la baguette arquée 1. Ce mécanisme de verrouillage 13 peut comporter par exemple un cliquet 14 articulé autour d'un axe 15 et sollicité par un ressort 16 en direction d'une crémaillère 17 ménagée dans un bord de la barre verticale 11. Ainsi l'ensemble des éléments mobiles 5, 6, 11 et 3a est maintenu fermement en position de fermeture par le cliquet 15 sollicité par le ressort 16. Le mécanisme de verrouillage 13 peut être actionné au moyen d'une serrure manoeuvrée par une clé introduite dans un trou 17. Cette clé permet de faire tourner le cliquet '14 dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre sur la figure 1, de manière à le dégager de la crémaillère 17 et à pouvoir ainsi soulever la griffe 3a, ce qui provoque l'ouverture du crochet 3, et soulever également les bras latéraux 5, 6 et la barre 11, ce qui libère les vêtements portés par le cintre.The anti-theft hanger shown in FIG. 1 thus comprises a vertically movable assembly, this monobloc assembly comprising the two lateral arms 5, 6 forming gripper jaws, the vertical bar 11 forming trouser clips and the claw portion 3a of the hook 3. This the assembly is held in the closed position by an appropriate locking mechanism 13 housed in the central part la of the arched rod 1. This locking mechanism 13 may for example comprise a pawl 14 articulated around an axis 15 and biased by a spring 16 in the direction of a rack 17 formed in one edge of the vertical bar 11. Thus all the movable elements 5, 6, 11 and 3a are held firmly in the closed position by the pawl 15 biased by the spring 16. The locking mechanism 13 can be actuated by means of a lock operated by a key inserted into a hole 17. This key makes it possible to turn the pawl '14 clockwise on FIG. 1, so as to disengage it from the rack 17 and thus to be able to lift the claw 3a, which causes the hook 3 to open, and also lift the lateral arms 5, 6 and the bar 11, which releases the clothes worn by the hanger.

Les dents de la crémaillère 17 sont avantageusement conformées de telle façon qu'il suffise de repousser vers le bas l'ensemble mobile verticalement pour assurer un verrouillage automatique en position de fermeture.The teeth of the rack 17 are advantageously shaped in such a way that it suffices to push down the vertically movable assembly to ensure automatic locking in the closed position.

On voit d'après la description qui précède qu'il est impossible, sans avoir actionné préalablement le mécanisme de verrouillage 13, aussi bien d'enlever l'ensemble du cintre de la barre de suspension 4 qui le porte que d'enlever des vêtements placés sur ce cintre.It can be seen from the above description that it is impossible, without first actuating the locking mechanism 13, to remove both the hanger assembly from the suspension bar 4 which carries it and to remove clothing placed on this hanger.

Bien que dans l'exemple décrit précédemment le cintre comporte deux bras latéraux 5 , 6, il va de soi qu'il pourrait aussi bien n'en comporter qu'un seul. Par ailleurs la partie mobile 3a faisant partie du crochet 3 pourrait être actionnée indépendamment au lieu d'être solidaire des bras mobiles 5, 6.Although in the example described above the hanger has two lateral arms 5, 6, it goes without saying that it might as well have only one. Furthermore, the mobile part 3a forming part of the hook 3 could be actuated independently instead of being integral with the mobile arms 5, 6.

Dans la variante d'exécution illustrée sur la figure 2, le cintre antivol suivant l'invention comporte deux bras latéraux 21, 22 qui sont articulés sur la partie supérieure et centrale la de la baguette arquée 1, autour d'axes perpendiculaires au cintre. Autrement dit, les deux bras 21, 22 peuvent pivoter tout en restant dans le plan du cintre. Ils peuvent occuper une position d'ouverture dans laquelle ils sont relativement écartés de la baguette arquée supérieure 1, ainsi qu'il est représenté sur la figure 2, et une position de fermeture dans laquelle des patins 23, 24 qu'ils portent à leurs extrémités mobiles, sont plaqués sur le bord supérieur de la baguette arquée 1. Là encore le cintre 1 est pourvu d'un mécanisme de verrouillage 13 qui peut être manoeuvré au moyen d'une clé et qui permet de faire pivoter les bras 21, 22 vers leur position d'ouverture lorsqu'on veut dégager un vêtement du cintre. Le mécanisme 13 commande, comme dans le cas précédent, un organe mobile qui assure la fermeture totale ou l'ouverture du crochet de suspension 3.In the variant illustrated in FIG. 2, the anti-theft hanger according to the invention comprises two lateral arms 21, 22 which are articulated on the upper and central part 1a of the arched strip 1, around axes perpendicular to the hanger. In other words, the two arms 21, 22 can pivot while remaining in the plane of the hanger. They can occupy an open position in which they are relatively spaced from the upper arched rod 1, as shown in Figure 2, and a position of closure in which pads 23, 24 which they carry at their movable ends, are pressed against the upper edge of the arched rod 1. Here again the hanger 1 is provided with a locking mechanism 13 which can be operated by means of 'a key and which allows to rotate the arms 21, 22 to their open position when you want to remove a garment from the hanger. The mechanism 13 controls, as in the previous case, a movable member which ensures total closure or opening of the suspension hook 3.
