This hanger is intended to prevent the theft of the garments, particularly in stores or cloakrooms.

Description

La présente invention concerne un cintre antivol comportant au moins une baguette supérieure destinée à supporter un vêtement et un crochet de suspension s'étendant verticalement à partir de la partie centrale et supérieure de la baguette et dont l'extrémité recourbée est destinée à être accrochée à une barre de suspension, deux bras latéraux formant mâchoire de pince montés à coulissement vertical dans le plan du cintre et dont les extrémités mobiles peuvent venir s'appliquer contre une partie du bord supérieur de la baguette formant support des vêtements, pour pincer ainsi un vêtement suspendu au cintre entre les bras et la baguette, des moyens de verrouillage des bras mobiles en position de fermeture et une serrure logée dans la partie centrale du cintre et actionnée par une clef pour commander les moyens de verrouillage.The present invention relates to an anti-theft hanger comprising at least one upper rod intended to support a garment and a hanging hook extending vertically from the central and upper part of the rod and whose curved end is intended to be hung on a suspension bar, two lateral arms forming a clamp jaw mounted vertically sliding in the plane of the hanger and whose movable ends can be applied against a part of the upper edge of the rod forming a clothes support, to thus pinch a garment suspended from the hanger between the arms and the rod, means for locking the movable arms in the closed position and a lock housed in the central part of the hanger and actuated by a key to control the locking means.

Un tel cintre est décrit dans le brevet français 1 312 880. Ce cintre permet d'empêcher le vol de vêtements suspendus à la baguette supérieure, du fait que ces vêtements sont pincés fermement entre les extrémités mobiles des bras et ladit baguette.Such a hanger is described in French patent 1,312,880. This hanger makes it possible to prevent the theft of clothes hanging from the upper rod, because these clothes are pinched firmly between the movable ends of the arms and said rod.

On connaît également, ainsi qu'il est décrit dans le brevet US 2 441 407, un cintre antivol muni d'une barre verticale montée à coulissement et dont l'extrémité inférieure porte un patin prenant appui sur une baguette inférieure horizontale de manière à pincer un vêtement disposé sur ladite baguette. Un tel cintre empêche ainsi le vol de n'importe quel vêtement, tel qu'un pantalon, placé sur la baguette inférieure horizontale.Also known, as described in US Pat. No. 2,441,407, is an anti-theft hanger provided with a vertical bar mounted to slide and the lower end of which carries a shoe bearing on a horizontal lower rod so as to pinch a garment disposed on said wand. Such a hanger thus prevents the theft of any garment, such as pants, placed on the lower horizontal strip.

La présente invention concerne un cintre antivol de conception particulièrement simple permettant d'empêcher le vol des vêtements placés aussi bien sur la baguette supérieure que sur la baguette inférieure horizontale du cintre.The present invention relates to an anti-theft hanger with a particularly simple design making it possible to prevent theft of clothing placed both on the upper rod and on the horizontal lower rod of the hanger.

A cet effet ce cintre antivol comportant au moins une baguette supérieure destinée à supporter un vêtement et un crochet de suspension s'étendant verticalement à partir de la partie centrale et supérieure de la baguette et dont l'extrémité recourbée est destinée à être accrochée à une barre de suspension, deux bras latéraux formant mâchoires de pince montés à coulissement vertical dans le plan du cintre et dont les extrémités mobiles peuvent venir s'appliquer contre une partie du bord supérieur de la baguette formant support des vêtements, pour pincer ainsi un vêtement suspendu au cintre entre les bras et la baguette, des moyens de verrouillage des bras mobiles en position de fermeture et une serrure logée dans la partie centrale du cintre et actionnée par une clé pour commander les moyens de verrouillage, est caractérisé en ce que les bras latéraux formant mâchoires de pince sont solidaires d'une barre verticale montée à coulissement dans la partie centrale du cintre et dont l'extrémité inférieure vient prendre appui, par l'intermédiaire d'un patin, sur une baguette inférieure horizontale s'étendant entre les deux extrémités de la baguette supérieure pour pincer un vêtement disposé sur ladite baguette.For this purpose this anti-theft hanger comprising at least one upper rod intended to support a garment and a hanging hook extending vertically from the central and upper part of the rod and whose curved end is intended to be hung on a suspension bar, two lateral arms forming clamp jaws mounted for vertical sliding in the plane of the hanger and whose movable ends can come to rest against a part of the upper edge of the rod forming a support for the clothes, thus pinching a hanging garment on the hanger between the arms and the rod, means for locking the movable arms in the closed position and a lock housed in the central part of the hanger and actuated by a key to control the locking means, is characterized in that the lateral arms forming clamp jaws are integral with a vertical bar mounted to slide in the central part of the hanger and the end of which lower tee comes to bear, by means of a shoe, on a horizontal lower rod extending between the two ends of the upper rod to pinch a garment disposed on said rod.

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'exemple non limitatif, diverses formes d'exécution de la présente invention en référence au dessin annexé sur lequel:Various embodiments of the present invention will be described below, by way of non-limiting example, with reference to the appended drawing in which:

La figure unique est une vue en élévation schématique d'un cintre antivol suivant l'invention.The single figure is a schematic elevational view of an anti-theft hanger according to the invention.

Le cintre antivol représenté sur la figure 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 supporter des pantalons ou autres articles similaires. La baguette supérieure arquée 1 est solidaire d'une façon connue, dans sa partie centrale 1 a 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 the figure comprises an arched upper rod 1 between the lower ends of which extends a horizontal rectilinear rod 2. On the arched upper rod 1 are hung garments such as jackets, coats, etc. while the horizontal lower strip 2 is used to support pants or other similar articles. The arched upper rod 1 is secured in a known manner, in its central part 1a which constitutes its top, of a hook 3 which is intended to bear on a suspension bar 4.

Le cintre antivol représenté sur la figure 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 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 1 a et qui est un des éléments constitutifs du crochet 3. Cette griffe 1 a 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 1 a. En position de fermeture, la partie 3a formant griffe et la patte verticale 8 entourent complètement la barre de suspension 4 et empêchent ainsi qui le cintre ne soit détaché de cette barre.The anti-theft hanger shown in the figure 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 the figure and an open position indicated partially in phantom. These two arms 5 and 6 are joined by a horizontal crosspiece 7 from which comes upwards a part forming a claw 1 a and which is one of the constituent elements of the hook 3. This claw 1 a is bent at its upper part and in closed position its curved end is found in alignment with a fixed vertical tab 8 coming from the upper edge of the central part 1 a. In the closed position, the part 3a forming a claw and the vertical tab 8 completely surrounds the suspension bar 4 and thus prevents 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 gripper jaws are bent or inclined in the direction of the two branches of the upper rod 1 and they preferably end, at their lower ends, with support pads 9, 10, which may for example be 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 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 1 a 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 the figure also includes means for securing pants on the lower horizontal strip 2. These means comprise a vertical bar 11 which is integral with the horizontal cross member 7 and which extends downwards to from the latter. This vertical bar 11 passes through a vertical housing formed in the central and upper part 1 a 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 closed position, pants placed on this baguette 2 are immobilized by being pinched between the shoe 12 and the baguette 2.

Le cintre antivol représenté sur la figure 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 18. Cette clé permet de faire tourner le cliquet 14 dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre sur la figure, de manière à la 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 the figure 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 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 an edge of the vertical bar 11. Thus the set of mobile elements 5, 6, 11 and 3a is held firmly in the closed position by the pawl 15 biased by the spring 16. The mechanism lock 13 can be actuated by means of a lock operated by a key inserted into a hole 18. This key makes it possible to turn the pawl 14 clockwise. e in the figure, so as to disengage it from the rack 17 and thus 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 the movable assembly downwards vertically 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 foregoing 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 la 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.
