Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to hangers for textile such as trousers and other garments the hanger comprising a central hanging hook attached to a suspension har with means on each end for gripping the articles and more particularly the invention is concerned with a one piece hanger of synthetic plastics material with retaining clips on each end suitable for gripping and suspension of garments but the useage is not necessarily limited to this particular function.
  • Metal garment hangers and particularly hangers for slacks and trousers have been previously developed and used which consist of a metal rod or hanging rail carried by a central hook with a pair of slidable spring-jawed clips adapted to grip the suspened article.
  • the sharp metal components can cause cut fingers or broken finger nails during manufacture, assembly, packing and unpacking and final useage and if pressure has to be used to push up sliding spring metal components to free gripping jaws breakage of finger nails frequently results.
  • Sharp contours protruding parts, heavy weight and bulkiness of previous hangers are a nuisance for packing in luggage or for transport.
  • hangers comprising a combination of plastic and metal components, a number of separate assembly steps would be required. Also, it is difficult to provide fastening means of resilient plastics material with resistance to fatigue or failure by overstressed components during useage.
  • the advantages of the invention are mainly that a single-piece plastics garment hanger is produced in one injection moulding operation? there are sharp edges to cut fingers; the article is lightweight and means are provided to prevent breakage of the latch mechanism by overstressing of plastics material along ajoin line due to excess finger pressure.
  • the garment hanger of the invention as claimed is intended to provide a remedy. It solves the problem of avoiding cut fingers due to handling of sharp metal edges of components during manufacture, assembly, packing and unpacking and final use with garments. It is also smooth in overall contours and is also of relatively lightweight construction because it is a one-piece plastics construction with clips integrally moulded on each end of a hanging rail.
  • the clips have moulded-in plastics hinges and also a moulded-in latch mechanism as wellas latch breakage prevention stop means for preventing overstressing of plastics material along a flex join line by excessive opening pressure on a finger press button on the latch which pushes the latch beyond the elastic memory limit of the plastics material.
  • Figure 2 is an enlargement showing the lefthand clip of Figure 1 in open position.
  • Figure 3 is a reverse and underneath view of the enlargement of Figure 2.
  • the garment hanger shown has a support or suspension bar 10, with a central hanging hook 11, and an integral garment holding clip 12 and 13 at each end all moulded integrally as a unit from a synthetic plastics material such as polypropylene in a single injection moulding machine.
  • Each clip is formed in two segments with a mating pair of angled jaws comprising fixed and moveable jaws 14, 15, and 16, 17 respectively.
  • the jaws have top edges which are centrally cut-away to form the gap 18 but are joined together on either side of the gap by thin webs of plastics material forming the plastic hinges 19, 20, 21, and 22 respectively.
  • Each of the fixed jaws 14 and 16 is integrally and rigidly moulded by one of its side edges to the suspension bar.
  • the centrally cut away portions define or hexagonal!y-shaped closed off or internal aperture 18 which provide clearance for opening and closing movements of the upper foldable jaw from a resilient catch arrangement comprising a resilient latch member 23 upstanding from and integrally moulded with an inner edge of one of the lower jaw segments and one or more notches 24 on the outside of the latch member which are adapted to engage with and disengage from a keeper edge 25 on the moveable jaw and at the bottom of the hexagonal-shaped recess.
  • the latch is in the form of a hook with a column portion 26 and an angled arm portion 27.
  • a finger press button to release the hook notches 24 from the keeper edge 25 at the top of the jaw member.
  • a stop member in the form of a bar 28 is positioned beneath the arm of, but separate from each hook to limit the distance travelled by the hook under finger pressure when engaging the latch and jaw and to bear some at least of any excessive force brought to bear against the flex join line at the base of latch hook column.
  • Each end of the limit stop bar 28 is integrally moulded to a respective side edge of the moveable jaw member 15, 17 the side edges being inner facing edges with respect to the hexagonal-shaped recess of the jaw.
  • the underneath of the hook latch is provided with a strengthening web or rib 29 between the hook arm and column.
  • Other strengthening ribs may be provided as required as at 30 and 31 on the insides of the jaws.
  • the inside surfaces of the jaws of the clips are preferably provided with garment gripping ribs 32 and 33 as shown in Figure 2.

Abstract

Cintre pour pantalon en plastique monobloc comprenant une barre de support (10), un crochet (11) et des pinces d'extremite (15) avec une paire de machoires de serrage, une machoire fixe (14, 15) de chaque pince etant fixee a la barre, une machoire pliable (16, 17) etant connectee a la machoire fixe par une paire de charnieres en plastique (19, 20, 21, 22) de chaque cote d'une partie de degagement sur le bord superieur des machoires, un mecanisme d'accrochage integralement moule fonctionnant a l'interieur de la partie de degagement et comprenant un verrou (23) en forme de crochet dependant de la machoire fixe (14) dans la partie de degagement, le verrou possedant des nervures transverales (24) cooperant dans un arrangement de verrouillage par declenchement avec un bord de retenue forme sur un bord d'extremite inferieure de la partie de degagement des machoires pliables (16, 17) lorsqu'elle est repliee sur le verrou (23). Une barre de limitation du mouvement du verrou (28) est moulee au travers de la partie de degagement de chaque machoire sur les bords internes de chaque machoire pliable (16, 17) de maniere a empecher une sollicitation excessive du plastique le long de la ligne de joint de flexion du verrou pendant le mouvement d'ouverture du verrou par pression du doigt.
