Description

L'invention concerne un porte-cintre, en particulier pour un bagage porte-vêtement, du type comprenant une barre longitudinale sur laquelle sont maintenus des cintres disposés transversalement sur ladite barre, avec des moyens pour libérer lesdits cintres.The invention relates to a hanger rack, in particular for a luggage rack, of the type comprising a longitudinal bar on which hangers are held arranged transversely on said bar, with means for releasing said hangers.

Dans le brevet USA-A 1 948 019, un tel porte-cintre comporte une barre fixe d'accrochage et une barre de verrouillage articulée sur la première par un axe transversal. L'utilisation est malaisée puisque la barre de verrouillage doit pouvoir être ouverte, ce qui nécessite une importante place libre. Le brevet USA-A 3 566 456 prévoit de munir les deux barres formant pince de moyens élastiques, ce qui n'améliore pas le système précédent.In patent US-A 1,948,019, such a hanger holder includes a fixed hooking bar and a locking bar articulated on the first by a transverse axis. Use is difficult since the locking bar must be able to be opened, which requires a large amount of free space. Patent US-A 3,566,456 provides for providing the two clamp-forming bars with elastic means, which does not improve the previous system.

Dans les brevets USA-A 4 252 220 et 4 363 388, les bras de la pince sont articulés autour d'un axe horizontal alors que les solutions précédentes prévoyaient un axe vertical. Si l'ouverture de la pince ne nécessite plus un volume important comme précédemment, il faut prévoir un moyen d'arrêt très solide de la barre mobile puisqu'elle porte les cintres avec les vêtements.In the patents USA-A 4 252 220 and 4 363 388, the arms of the clamp are articulated around a horizontal axis whereas the previous solutions provided for a vertical axis. If the opening of the clamp no longer requires a large volume as before, it is necessary to provide a very solid means of stopping the movable bar since it carries the hangers with the clothes.

Dans tous les cas, en plus des inconvénients d'utilisation indiqués, les porte-cintres ne s'appliquent pas à divers types de cintres et sont de construction relativement compliquée et onéreuse.In all cases, in addition to the drawbacks of use indicated, the hanger holders do not apply to various types of hangers and are of relatively complicated and expensive construction.

Le DE-A 2 922 770 décrit un système de cintres suspendus dans lequel les cintres sont maintenus par une tringle d'arrêt montée pivotante autour d'un axe parallèle à la barre de support des cintres. La tringle d'arrêt peut être verrouillée par deux bagues ouvertes pivotant aux extrémités de la barre et prolongées chacune par un crochet élastique pouvant s'encliqueter sur la tringle d'arrêt. Ce dispositif connu nécessite le déverrouillage des deux crochets d'extrémité puis le pivotement de la tringle d'arrêt. Les portions de la barre sur lesquelles pivotent les bagues ne peuvent pas être utilisées pour l'accrochage de cintres. En outre, les cintres ne sont pas suffisamment maintenus longitudinalement sur la barre et peuvent glisser sur cette barre.DE-A 2 922 770 describes a system of hanging hangers in which the hangers are held by a stop rod pivotally mounted about an axis parallel to the hanger support bar. The stop rod can be locked by two open rings pivoting at the ends of the bar and each extended by an elastic hook which can be snapped onto the stop rod. This known device requires the unlocking of the two end hooks and then the pivoting of the stop rod. The portions of the bar on which the rings pivot cannot be used for hanging hangers. In addition, the hangers are not sufficiently held longitudinally on the bar and can slide on this bar.

La présente invention vise à fournir un nouveau porte-cintre de construction simple et économique, d'utilisation aisée et qui permette l'utilisation de cintres très divers.The present invention aims to provide a new hanger holder of simple and economical construction, easy to use and which allows the use of very diverse hangers.

A cet effet, le porte-cintre selon l'invention est caractérisé par le fait que ladite barre de support des cintres est surmontée par un bloc en matière élastique pivotant autour d'un axe parallèle à ladite barre et muni de fentes transversales formant des dents élastiques verrouillées sur ladite barre en position de fermeture.To this end, the hanger holder according to the invention is characterized in that said hanger support bar is surmounted by a block of elastic material pivoting about an axis parallel to said bar and provided with transverse slots forming teeth elastic locked on said bar in the closed position.

Une simple rotation du bloc libère les cintres qui peuvent être enlevés de la barre porteuse.A simple rotation of the block releases the hangers which can be removed from the support bar.

L'invention sera bien comprise à la lecture de la description suivante d'un exemple de réalisation en référence au dessin annexé dans lequel:

  • - la figure 1 est une vue explosée en perspective du porte-cintre, et
  • - la figure 2 est une vue en perspective du porte-cintre de la figure 1 assemblé.
The invention will be clearly understood on reading the following description of an exemplary embodiment with reference to the appended drawing in which:
  • FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of the hanger holder, and
  • - Figure 2 is a perspective view of the hanger holder of Figure 1 assembled.

Le porte-cintre est constitué par une potence formée par une plaque supérieure 1 fixée transversalement au porte-vêtement (non représenté) et reliée à une barre d'accrochage 2 pour des cintres par une paroi verticale 3. Parallèlement à la paroi 3, la plaque 1 et prolongée par un renvoi 4. La paroi 3 comporte un trou 5 et le renvoi 4 un trou 6 de plus grand diamètre, les trous 5 et 6 étant coaxiaux à un axe longitudinal horizontal 7.The hanger holder consists of a bracket formed by an upper plate 1 fixed transversely to the garment holder (not shown) and connected to a hanging bar 2 for hangers by a vertical wall 3. Parallel to the wall 3, the plate 1 and extended by a reference 4. The wall 3 has a hole 5 and the reference 4 a hole 6 of larger diameter, the holes 5 and 6 being coaxial with a horizontal longitudinal axis 7.

Un bloc 8 en matière élastique telle que caoutchouc ou matière plastique est monté pivotant entre la plaque 1 et la barre 2. Le bloc 8 comporte un trou longitudinal 9 muni de deux ailes 10 dans lesquelles est enfilé un arbre 11 muni d'ailettes 12 de section correspondante au trou 9-10. Une extrémité 13 de l'arbre 11 est verrouillée dans le trou 5 par une rondelle 14 et un circlips 15 alors que l'autre extrémité de l'arbre 11 est solidaire d'une portée cylindrique 16 tourillonnant dans le trou 6.A block 8 made of elastic material such as rubber or plastic is pivotally mounted between the plate 1 and the bar 2. The block 8 has a longitudinal hole 9 provided with two wings 10 in which a shaft 11 fitted with fins 12 of section corresponding to hole 9-10. One end 13 of the shaft 11 is locked in the hole 5 by a washer 14 and a circlip 15 while the other end of the shaft 11 is secured to a cylindrical bearing 16 journalled in the hole 6.

La portée 16 fait partie d'une poignée de manoeuvre 17 logée à l'extérieur du renvoi 4 et adjacente à celui-ci. La poignée 17 comporte une creusure 18 coopérant avec l'extrémité libre 19 de la barre 2 pour se verrouiller dessus. A cet effet, la barre 2 comprend une nervure longitudinale 20 sur laquelle se verrouille élastiquement la creusure 18 de la poignée 17 et qui, en outre, raidit la barre 2.The scope 16 is part of an operating handle 17 housed outside the reference 4 and adjacent to it. The handle 17 has a recess 18 cooperating with the free end 19 of the bar 2 to lock on it. To this end, the bar 2 comprises a longitudinal rib 20 on which the recess 18 of the handle 17 is resiliently locked and which, in addition, stiffens the bar 2.

Le bloc élastique 8, en position de verrouillage, est en appui sur la nervure 20. Il comporte des fentes transversales 21 formant des dents 22 destinées à séparer et enfermer les cintres en position de fermeture.The elastic block 8, in the locked position, is supported on the rib 20. It has transverse slots 21 forming teeth 22 intended to separate and enclose the hangers in the closed position.

La barre 2, lorsque le bloc 8 a été basculé par la poignée 17 pour libérer son extrémité 19, peut recevoir la partie courbe de cintres d'épaisseurs et de hauteurs diverses. Elle peut aussi recevoir, en formant rail de glissement, des cintres connus comportant un profilé femelle monté à l'extrémité d'un crochet pivotant.The bar 2, when the block 8 has been tilted by the handle 17 to release its end 19, can receive the curved part of hangers of various thicknesses and heights. It can also receive, by forming sliding rail, known hangers comprising a female profile mounted at the end of a pivoting hook.
