Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for hanging devices provided with handles such as brooms, shovels, rakes or the like.
  • handles such as brooms, shovels, rakes or the like.
  • an approximately S-shaped hook pivotably mounted on a bearing block or the like about a horizontal axis, on the bearing shaft of which a hanging first straight section adjoins at right angles and in which at the lower end of the first straight section of the hook in its vertical position an approximately C-shaped section of the hook adjoins in a horizontal plane in a front view.
  • Such a device is previously known from DE-C-32 17 748 and shows the disadvantage that the opposing stop surfaces for holding a handle or the like are not sufficient and the handle can therefore slide through in an undesirable manner.
  • Such a device is used, for example, to hang garden tools on a wall after use, so that the machining part, often made of steel or bristles, is in the air and does not need to be supported on the floor. If the processing part is wet, the moisture in the hanging arrangement can run off better, which counteracts the formation of rust.
  • the object of the present invention in a device according to the aforementioned type is to develop a device holder according to DE-C-32 17 748 in such a way that it guarantees an improved clamping and holding force while maintaining its advantages, without the handling and construction of the device thus gets too complicated.
  • the S-shaped or C-shaped section of the C-shaped configuration of the hook merges at its end into a second rectilinear section, which runs vertically. This in turn merges into a continuously curved spatial (three-dimensional) section at its lower end, which is directed inwards and upwards.
  • the handle is also at its other contact point in the hook on a concave line and thus at least on three sides in the hook, which now prevents any lateral movement of the handle on the hook.
  • the hook takes on a twisted shape, so that its sections do not extend in one plane, but run spatially. In particular, the spatial section is bent with its end upwards and at the same time bent backwards.
  • the radius of curvature of the S- or C-shaped section corresponds approximately to the surface curvature of a suspended stem.
  • the radius of curvature of the S- or C-shaped section can also be approximately larger than the surface curvature of the stem.
  • the handle therefore has a certain linear contact surface both in the upper C-shaped or S-shaped section of the hook and in its lower spatially curved section.
  • a device has the advantage that the handle within the hook at least three contact points lines or lines.
  • the handle In addition to the contact point on the upper S-shaped or part-circular (C-shaped) section and the contact point on the lower spatial section, there is a lateral contact point or line on the second vertical straight-line section of the hook, since the handle is due to the curved designs the remaining sections are pressed against the second rectilinear section.
  • the stem then runs approximately at an acute angle in the longitudinal direction of the central section.
  • a device for hanging up stems shows a bearing block 10 in which an approximately S-shaped hook with a horizontal bearing shaft 11 is pivotably mounted.
  • the bearing block 10 has a cuboid-shaped slider 12 which is guided in a horizontal rail, so that the entire bearing block 10 in the horizontal direction can be moved.
  • the profile rail 13 can be fastened to a wall, for example with screws 14.
  • the hook is made of round steel or the like. bent and has several different sections.
  • a first rectilinear section 18 adjoins the bearing shaft 11 at right angles. 1 to 3 of the drawing, this is followed by a C-shaped or S-shaped section 19 and, according to FIGS. 4 and 5 of the drawing, a part-circular section 20.
  • the first straight section 18 runs vertically, while the C- or S-shaped section 19 extends in a horizontal plane.
  • the first rectilinear section 18 runs vertically and the arcuate section Section 20 in a horizontal plane.
  • a second rectilinear section 21 adjoins the S-shaped section 19 or the section-arc section 20, which in the position according to FIG. 2 again runs vertically. At its end, this merges into a continuously curved spatial section 22, which forms the free end of the hook.
  • the spatial section 22 not only appears curved in the plane of the drawing in FIG. 2, but also runs backwards (inwards) out of the plane of the drawing, as the section according to FIG. 3 shows.
  • a handle 23 of a device suspended in the hook is also pressed against the inside of the second rectilinear section 21 due to its own weight, so that a total of three contact points or - lines within the hook for the stem 23, namely on the section 19 or 20, on the lower spatial section 22 and on the second (middle) rectilinear section 21.
  • This increases the frictional force between the stem 23 and the hook.
  • An elastic jacket of the round steel, for example made of plastic, increases the contact surface and thus the friction of the stem 23 hanging in the hook.
  • the radius of curvature of the upper C- or S-shaped section 19, 20 and / or of the lower spatially bent section 22 are approximately the same size or larger than the surface curvature of a stem (23).
  • the radius of curvature of the upper section 19, 20 can also be somewhat smaller than that of the stem, so that a small clamping effect can occur.
