Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Kleiderbügel mit Aufhängehaken.The invention relates to a hanger with hanging hooks.

Solche Kleiderbügel werden im allgemeinen in Verbindung mit einer Kleiderstange in einem Schrank, festen Haken, oder Stangen in einer Garderobe oder ähnlichen Einrichtungen benutzt. Häufig möchte man jedoch einen Kleiderbügel zur Lüftung oder zum Trocknen von Kleidungsstücken auf einer Wäscheleine unter freiem Himmel benutzen. Damit der Haken nicht auf der Leine hin und herrutscht, muß er hierzu gesondert auf der Leine befestigt werden, wofür man gewöhnlich eine Wäscheklammer einsetzt. Dies bringt jedoch eine Reihe von Schwierigkeiten mit sich. Zunächst muß man einmal Wäscheklammern bei sich haben, wenn man Kleiderbügel in dieser Weise aufhängen will und darüber hinaus ist die dadurch erzielbare Sicherung, die ein Herunterrutschen bei schwingendem Kleidungsstück sicher verhindert, in der Praxis auch nicht sicher genug, da sich der Haken leicht auf der Leine verschieben läßt, obwohl er mit der Wäscheklammer versehen ist.Such hangers are generally used in connection with a clothes rail in a closet, fixed hooks, or rails in a wardrobe or similar devices. Often, however, one would like to use a hanger to ventilate or dry clothes on a clothesline in the open air. To prevent the hook from slipping back and forth on the line, it has to be fastened separately on the line, for which a clothespin is usually used. However, this presents a number of difficulties. First of all, you have to have clothes pegs with you if you want to hang up hangers in this way and, moreover, the securing that can be achieved thereby, which prevents slipping down when the garment is swinging, is also not safe enough in practice, since the hook easily moves on the Leash can be moved, although it is provided with the clothespin.

Ein aus der US-Patentschrift 4,034,902 bekanntgewordener Kleiderbügel mit zwei einander überlappenden federnden Zungen auf der Unterseite des Aufhängehakens, zwischen denen die Wäscheleine hindurchgezwängt und schließlich gefangen ist, verhindert zwar ein allzu leichtes Abheben von der Wäscheleine, kann jedoch das Verrutschen auf der Leine in keiner Weise verhindern, da der Abstand der Zungen vom Scheitel des Bügels auf jeden Fall wesentlich größer sein muß als die Dicke der Wäscheleine, damit diese überhaupt durch Wegbiegen der einen Zunge eingebracht werden kann.A clothes hanger, known from US Pat. No. 4,034,902, with two overlapping resilient tongues on the underside of the hanging hook, between which the clothesline is forced through and finally caught, does not prevent the clothesline from being lifted off too easily, but it cannot slip on the line in any way Prevent way, since the distance of the tongues from the apex of the bracket must in any case be much greater than the thickness of the clothesline so that it can be introduced by bending one tongue at all.

Darüber hinaus besteht bei dieser Anordnung die Gefahr, daß nach mehrmaliger Betätigung die Zungen abbrechen.In addition, there is a risk with this arrangement that the tongues break off after repeated actuation.

Das Problem des Verrutschens auf der Wäscheleine ist zwar bei einer Konstruktion zumindest reduziert, wie sie in der Deutschen Auslegeschrift 1 579 525 beschrieben ist. Dabei ist der Kopf des Aufhängebügels durchgehend parallel zu seiner Ebene geschlitzt, um dort die Wäscheleine einlegen zu können, die in diesem Schlitz dadurch gefangen ist, daß ein seitlich angelenkter Klemmbügel die beiden Teile des Hakens unter Verschließen des Schlitzes auf der Oberseite miteinander verklammert. Diese Konstruktion ist jedoch äußerst aufwendig, wobei insbesondere die Herstellung und Anlenkung des seitlich angeordneten Klemmbügels erhebliche Schwierigkeiten bereitet. Darüber hinaus ist auch hier wiederum die große Gefahr gegeben, daß bei mehrfachem Gebrauch dieser Klemmbügel an seiner Lagerstelle ausreißt und somit der Bügel zum speziellen erfindungsgemäßen Aufhängen auf eine Wäscheleine überhaupt nicht mehr benutzbar ist.The problem of slipping on the clothesline is at least reduced in a construction as described in German Auslegeschrift 1 579 525. The head of the suspension bracket is continuously slotted parallel to its plane so that the clothesline can be inserted, which is caught in this slot by the fact that a laterally hinged clamping bracket clamps the two parts of the hook together by closing the slot on the top. However, this construction is extremely complex, in particular the manufacture and articulation of the laterally arranged clamping bracket causes considerable difficulties. In addition, here too there is again the great danger that this clamp will tear out at its bearing point if the clamp is used several times, and the clamp is therefore no longer usable for hanging up on a clothesline according to the invention.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Kleiderbügel so auszugestalten, daß sein Haken gegen ein Abrutschen auf einer Wäscheleine gesichert ist, ohne daß weitere zusätzliche Hilfsmitttel verwendet werden müssen oder daß ein komplizierter störungsanfälliger Aufbau erforderlich ist.The invention is therefore based on the object of designing a clothes hanger so that its hook is secured against slipping on a clothesline without the need to use additional aids or that a complicated, failure-prone structure is required.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, daß im Bereich des Bogenscheitels des Aufhängehakens ein im wesentlichen in der Hakenebene liegender durchgehender Spalt vorgesehen ist, in welchem ein Stab derart schwenkbar gelagert ist, daß er mit seinem freien Ende zwischen zwei Endstellungen, in denen er unter bzw. über dem Hakenbogen herausragt, verschwenkbar ist.To achieve this object, it is provided according to the invention that in the region of the arch apex of the suspension hook there is a continuous gap lying essentially in the hook plane, in which a rod is pivotally mounted such that its free end is between two end positions in which it is under or protrudes above the hook arch, is pivotable.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung läßt sich bei unter dem Hakenbogen herausragendem Stab die Leine zwischen den benachbarten Bogenteilen und dem Stab S-förmig durchschlängeln, wobei auf diese Weise ein Klemmeffekt erzielt wird, der sowohl ein Verrutschen in Längsrichtung auf der Wäscheleine verhindert, als auch bei starkem Schwingen des Kleidungsstücks um die Wäscheleine als Achse ein Herunterfallen ausschließt.With the design according to the invention, the line between the adjacent bow parts and the rod can be snaked in an S-shaped manner when the rod protrudes from under the hook arch, a clamping effect being achieved in this way, which prevents slipping in the longitudinal direction on the clothesline, as well as in the case of strong ones Swinging the garment around the clothesline as an axis prevents falling down.

Diese beiden Sicherungsmerkmale werden dabei in Ausgestaltung der Erfindung noch dadurch erheblich verbessert, wenn der Stab am freien Ende mit einer in der Schwenkebene liegenden verbreiterten Kopfplatte versehen ist.In an embodiment of the invention, these two securing features are considerably improved if the rod is provided at the free end with a widened top plate lying in the swivel plane.

Diese Kopfplatte, die selbstverständlich in ihrer Dicke geringer ist als die Schlitzbreite, da ja ansonsten die Durchschwenkung nicht gegeben wäre, verhindert nicht nur ein einfaches selbständiges Abhängen des Kleiderbügels durch eine Stoßbewegung nach oben, sondern durch entsprechend starke Verschwenkung zum einen oder anderen Bügelende hin auch quasi ein Einklemmen der Wäscheleine, so daß in Längsrichtung der Wäscheleine noch eine stärkere Verrutschsicherheit gegeben ist.This head plate, which is of course less thick than the slot width, since otherwise there would be no swiveling, not only prevents the clothes hanger from simply hanging off by pushing it upwards, but also by pivoting it appropriately to one or the other of the hanger ends quasi a pinching of the clothesline, so that there is even greater security against slipping in the longitudinal direction of the clothesline.

Darüber hinaus bietet diese Kopfplatte die Möglichkeit, sie als zusätzliche Bezeichnungsfahne zu nutzen bzw. eine solche auf sie aufzustecken, um beispielsweise auf diese Weise in Geschäften eine leichte übersichtliche Kennzeichnung verschiedener Größen von Kleidungsstücken zu schaffen, so daß mit einem Blick erkennbar ist, welche Kleidergröße das an einem solchen Bügel hängende Bekleidungsstück hat.In addition, this headstock offers the possibility of using it as an additional label flag or attaching one to it, for example to create a clear and easy identification of different sizes of clothing items in shops, so that you can see at a glance which size of clothing has the garment hanging on such a hanger.

Besonders einfach ist die Benutzbarkeit des erfindungsgemäßen Sicherungsstabes, wenn, wie in weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung vorgesehen sein kann, das Lagerende des Stabes zwei diametral einander gegenüberliegende Lagerzapfen zum Einsprengen in Vertiefungen der Spaltwände aufweist, wobei die Vertiefungen am einfachsten durch Querbohrungen gebildet sein können. Durch diese Ausbildung kann der Stab, mit der bevorzugt an seinem freien Ende angeordneten Kopfplatte, sehr einfach in den Spalt des Aufhängehakens eingesteckt und auch wieder durch entsprechenden Zug herausgezogen werden, so daß ein sehr einfacher Austausch eines Stabes mit einer eine bestimmte Kleidergröße tragenden Kopfplatte gegen ein entsprechendes Bauteil mit anderer Größenangabe möglich ist. Selbstverständlich könnten die Zapfen und Vertiefungen auch umgekehrt am Kleiderbügel bzw. Aufhängehaken angeordnet sein, doch ist die vorstehend angesprochene Anordnung mit Lagerzapfen am Stab die fertigungstechnisch einfachste Lösung.The usability of the safety rod according to the invention is particularly simple if, as can be provided in a further embodiment of the invention, the bearing end of the rod has two diametrically opposed bearing journals for breaking into recesses in the gap walls, the recesses being simplest to be formed by transverse bores. Through this design, the rod, with the head plate preferably arranged at its free end, can be inserted very simply into the gap of the suspension hook and can also be pulled out again by a corresponding pull, so that a very simple exchange of a rod with a head plate bearing a certain size of clothing can be replaced by a corresponding component with a different size specification is possible. Of course, the pins and recesses could also be arranged upside down on the clothes hanger or hanging hook, but the arrangement mentioned above with bearing pins on the rod is the simplest solution in terms of production technology.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungsmöglichkeit der Erfindung besteht darin, den Aufhängehaken so auszugestalten, daß er lösbar aufsteckbar ist, da auf diese Weise die besondere Ausbildung des Hakens, die selbstverständlich gegenüber einem ohne Sicherungsstab ausgebildeten Haken einen erhöhten Bauaufwand erfordert, nur dann wirklich vorgenommen werden muß, wenn der Kleiderbügel für die genannten Anwendungszwecke eingesetzt werden soll. Man vermeidet damit aufwendigere Formen für Gesamtbügel einmal mit und einmal ohne den Sicherungsstift mit dem Schlitz im Aufhängehaken. Es bedarf lediglich beim Hersteller bzw. Händler des Austauschens der Aufhängehaken.A further advantageous embodiment of the invention consists in designing the suspension hook in such a way that it can be detachably plugged on, since in this way the special design of the hook, which of course requires more construction work than a hook designed without a security rod, only really has to be made if the clothes hanger is to be used for the stated purposes. This avoids more complex shapes for overall brackets with and without the locking pin with the slot in the suspension hook. The manufacturer or dealer only needs to replace the suspension hooks.

Darüber hinaus hat die lösbare Aufsteckbarkeit des Aufhängehakens auch den Vorteil, daß der Aufhängehaken zusätzlich schwenkbar am Kleiderbügel angelenkt sein kann, wobei neben einer Schwenkbarkeit des Aufhängehakens in der Hakenebene, die eine kleinräumigere Verpakkung ermöglicht, wenn der Kleiderbügel im Koffer mitgeführt wird (das ständige Abnehmen kann die Festigkeit der Aufhängung beeinträchtigen), dabei auch vorgesehen sein kann, daß der Aufhängehaken um die Achse des Aufsteckschenkels drehbar ist, so daß ohne Mitdrehen des Aufhängehakens selbst der Kleiderbügel sich im Wind mit verschwenken kann.In addition, the detachable attachability of the hanging hook also has the advantage that the hanging hook can also be pivoted on the hanger, in addition to a pivoting of the hanging hook in the hook plane, which enables smaller packaging when the hanger is carried in the case (the constant removal can impair the strength of the suspension), it can also be provided that the suspension hook can be rotated about the axis of the attachment leg, so that even the clothes hanger can pivot in the wind without turning the suspension hook.

Bei dieser letzteren Ausgestaltung mit Drehbarkeit des Aufhängehakens um die Achse des Aufsteckschenkels kann dabei schließlich auch noch vorgesehen sein, daß der Aufsteckschenkel des Aufhängehakens als auf einen Zapfen des Bügelteils aufsprengbare Hülse mit ineinandergreifenden Ringnuten bzw. umlaufenden Rippen ausgebildet ist.In this latter embodiment, with the rotatability of the suspension hook about the axis of the attachment leg, it can finally also be provided that the attachment leg of the suspension hook is designed as a sleeve that can be opened onto a pin of the bracket part with interlocking annular grooves or circumferential ribs.

Der in den Figuren 1 bis 4 dargestellte Aufhängehaken 1 für einen Kleiderbügel, der mit seinem unteren Ende in der Bügelebene schwenkbar am nicht dargestellten Kleiderbügel befestigbar ist, wobei die Befestigung vorzugsweise durch Einsprengen, oder ggf. auch durch Durchstecken durch einen entsprechend breiten Schlitz des Bügels erfolgen kann, was aber für sich bekannt ist und deshalb an dieser Stelle nicht mehr erläutert werden soll, ist im Bereich des Hakenbogens 2 mit einem durchgehenden Spalt 3 versehen, der im Bereich, in dem die Achse 4 des Aufsteckschenkels 4a den Hakenbogen 2 schneidet, mit Vertiefungen 5 der Spaltwände versehen ist, in welche Zacken oder Zapfen 6 eingreifen, die am Lagerende eines Sicherungs-Stabes 7 angeordnet sind, der in Spalt 3 um die Zapfen 6 schwenkbar gelagert ist. Die Schwenkbarkeit ist dabei derart ausgebildet, daß der Stab, der im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel mit einer verbreiterten Kopfplatte versehen ist, zwischen der in Fig. 1 gezeigten Stellung mit nach oben über den Bogen überstehender Kopfplatte in eine Stellung verschwenkbar ist (Fig. 2), in welcher der Stab 7 mit der Kopfplatte 8 unter dem Hakenbogen 2 liegt.The hanging hook 1 shown in Figures 1 to 4 for a hanger, which is pivotally attached to the hanger, not shown, with its lower end in the plane of the hanger, the fastening preferably by means of blasting, or possibly also by pushing through a correspondingly wide slot in the hanger can take place, which is known per se and therefore will not be explained at this point, is provided in the area of the hook arch 2 with a continuous gap 3, which in the area in which the axis 4 of the attachment leg 4a intersects the hook arch 2, with depressions 5 of the gap walls is provided, in which teeth or pins 6 engage, which are arranged at the bearing end of a securing rod 7 which is pivotally mounted in the gap 3 about the pins 6. The pivotability is designed such that the rod, which is provided with a widened head plate in the illustrated embodiment, can be pivoted into a position between the position shown in FIG. 1 with the head plate protruding upward beyond the bend (FIG. 2), in which is the rod 7 with the head plate 8 under the hook arch 2.

Wird der Kleiderbügel in üblicher Weise auf einer Stange in einem Kleiderschrank oder in einer Garderobe benutzt, so wird der Stab 7 mit der Kopfplatte 8 in die Stellung gebracht, wie dies ausgezogen in Fig. 1 angedeutet ist, wobei auf der Fahne Symbole für die Größe der Kleidungsstücke stehen können. In Fig. 1 erkennt man auf der fahnenartig nach oben ragenden Kopfplatte das Zeichen S für "small" oder "klein", wie es heutzutage für die Markierung von Kleidungsstücken allgemein üblich geworden ist.If the hanger is used in the usual way on a rod in a wardrobe or in a cloakroom, the rod 7 is brought into position with the head plate 8, as is indicated in full in FIG. 1, symbols on the flag indicating the size of clothing can stand. In Fig. 1 one recognizes the sign S for "small" or "small" on the head plate projecting upward like a flag, as has become common today for the marking of articles of clothing.

Über die in Fig. 1 gestrichelt eingezeichnete Zwischenstellung, bei der der Sicherungs-Stab 7 mit seiner Kopfplatte 8 auch bei beengten Platzverhältnissen nicht stören kann, läßt sich der Stab 7 auch in die in Fig. 2 gezeigte Stellung verschwenken, die besonders in Verbindung mit der Aufhängung auf einer Wäscheleine vorgesehen ist. Der Haken 1 wird mit dem dem freien Ende abgelegenen hinteren Abschnitt auf die Wäscheleine 10 aufgehakt und dann durch Verschwenken, bei dem sich die Wäscheleine in einer Bucht um den Stab 7 legt, über die Gegenseite noch aufgehakt, so daß auf diese Weise der Haken auf der Wäscheleine 10 sicher befestigt ist. Die Sicherung läßt sich dabei noch dadurch erhöhen, daß man den Stab 7 gegenüber der in Fig. 2 gezeigten Stellung etwas weiter nach links oder rechts verschwenkt, so daß die Schnur auf der einen Seite völlig zwischen der Kopfplatte und dem entsprechenden Hakenabschnitt gefangen ist.About the intermediate position shown in dashed lines in Fig. 1, in which the securing rod 7 with its head plate 8 can not interfere even in confined spaces, the rod 7 can also be pivoted into the position shown in Fig. 2, particularly in connection with the suspension is provided on a clothesline. The hook 1 is hooked with the rear portion remote from the free end onto the washing line 10 and then by pivoting, in which the washing line lies in a bay around the rod 7, is still hooked over the opposite side, so that in this way the hook is open the clothesline 10 is securely attached. The fuse can still be used thereby increase that the rod 7 is pivoted a little further to the left or right relative to the position shown in FIG. 2, so that the cord is completely caught on one side between the head plate and the corresponding hook section.

Die Figuren 5 bis 6 zeigen eine abgewandelte Ausbildung des Aufsteckschenkels 4a des Aufhängehakens 1 derart, daß der Aufhängehaken um die Längsachse 4 seines Aufsteckschenkels 4a schwenkbar am nur schematisch angedeuteten Bügel B befestigbar ist. An der Platte 12 des Bügels B ist ein Aufsteckzapfen 13 mit einer umlaufenden Ringnut 14 angeformt, auf die das hülsenförmig ausgebildete Ende des Aufsteckschenkels 4a mit einer nach innen einspringenden umlaufenden Rippe 15 aufsprengbar ist.FIGS. 5 to 6 show a modified design of the attachment leg 4a of the suspension hook 1 in such a way that the suspension hook can be attached to the bracket B, which is only schematically indicated, so that it can pivot about the longitudinal axis 4 of its attachment leg 4a. On the plate 12 of the bracket B, a push-on pin 13 is formed with a circumferential annular groove 14, onto which the sleeve-shaped end of the push-on leg 4a with an inwardly projecting circumferential rib 15 can be opened.
