Abstract

Description

La présente invention a pour objet un cintre de présentation pour articles textiles destiné à revêtir le torse, tels que les articles connus sous le nom de tee shirt ou débardeur.The present invention relates to a display hanger for textile articles intended to coat the torso, such as articles known under the name of t-shirt or tank top.

Pour des raisons commerciales, il est maintenant nécessaire de présenter les articles textiles et notamment les vêtements de torse tels que tee shirts, débardeurs, maillots de corps, sur des cintres permettant aux acheteurs éventuels de toucher le tissu. A cet effet, et pour ne pas occuper une place trop importante, les articles doivent être pliés sur le cintre de présentation.For commercial reasons, it is now necessary to present textile articles and in particular torso clothing such as T-shirts, tank tops, undershirts, on hangers allowing potential buyers to touch the fabric. For this purpose, and in order not to occupy too much space, the articles must be folded on the presentation hanger.

Des cintres de ce type ont déjà été proposés. Mais dans la plupart des cas la surface d'appui du vêtement sur le cintre est constitué par la partie du vêtement destinée à entourer les épaules. Les articles sont alors pliés sur une barre transversale disposée au dessous de la surface de support.Hangers of this type have already been proposed. But in most cases the surface of the garment bearing on the hanger is formed by the part of the garment intended to surround the shoulders. The articles are then folded on a transverse bar arranged below the support surface.

Malheureusement, une telle présentation implique des cintres relativement larges puisque devant supporter toute la largeur du vêtement. Par suite, de tels cintres sont encombrants et chers.Unfortunately, such a presentation involves relatively wide hangers since it must support the entire width of the garment. As a result, such hangers are bulky and expensive.

La présente invention a pour objet un cintre de présentation pour vêtements de torse permettant de présenter l'article plié sous un faible volume et avec un encombrement limité, congru pour permettre sa pose directe sur un article plié.The present invention relates to a display hanger for torso clothing for presenting the folded article in a small volume and with a limited size, congruent to allow its direct installation on a folded article.

Selon la présente invention, le cintre de présentation pour articles de torse comprenant un crochet solidaire d'un montant central à partir duquel s'étendent transversalement un support horizontal supérieur et un support horizontal inférieur, est caractérisé en ce que le support horizontal supérieur comprend à sa partie inférieure deux pinces disposées au voisinage de ses extrémités.According to the present invention, the display hanger for torso articles comprising a hook secured to a central upright from which extend an upper horizontal support and a lower horizontal support, is characterized in that the horizontal support upper comprises at its lower part two clamps arranged in the vicinity of its ends.

Ainsi, la barrette supérieure qui constitue le support supérieur, n'est pas insérée dans l'encolure, mais l'encolure est pincée dans les pinces de la barrette supérieure de sorte que la largeur du cintre peut ainsi être réduite. Cette caractéristique permet de poser sur le cintre un article déjà plié.Thus, the upper bar which constitutes the upper support, is not inserted into the neck, but the neck is pinched in the clips of the upper bar so that the width of the hanger can thus be reduced. This feature allows an already folded item to be placed on the hanger.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le support horizontal inférieur est constitué par un cadre rectangulaire ouvert dans son centre. Ainsi, il est possible de faire passer la partie inférieure de l'article à l'intérieur de l'ouverture rectangulaire.According to another characteristic of the invention, the lower horizontal support is constituted by a rectangular frame open in its center. Thus, it is possible to pass the lower part of the article inside the rectangular opening.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, l'ouverture rectangulaire présente deux pinces d'extrémité destinées à maintenir la partie inférieure pliée du vêtement.According to another characteristic of the invention, the rectangular opening has two end clips intended to hold the folded lower part of the garment.

D'autres caractérisques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront au cours de la description qui va suivre d'un mode de réalisation particulier donné uniquement à titre d'exemple non limitatif en regard des figures qui représentent :

  • La figure 1 une vue de face d'un cintre selon l'invention;
  • la figure 2 une vue de côté du même cintre;
  • la figure 3 une vue par transparence d'un article de type débardeur plié sur un cintre selon l'invention.
Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will become apparent during the description which follows of a particular embodiment given solely by way of nonlimiting example with reference to the figures which represent:
  • Figure 1 a front view of a hanger according to the invention;
  • Figure 2 a side view of the same hanger;
  • Figure 3 a view by transparency of a tank type article folded on a hanger according to the invention.

Sur la figure 1, on voit que le cintre compend un montant central 1 dont l'extrémité supérieure est solidaire d'un crochet 2. A partir du montant central s'étend transversalement (et horizontalement en position de suspension) une barrette 3 ou support supérieur. A la partie inférieure du montant central se trouve un cadre 4 dont la partie centrale 5 est ouverte pour permettre le passage d'une partie du vêtement comme cela sera expliqué ultérieurement. Aux extrémités latérales du cadre 4 sont prévues deux pinces 6 permettant de maintenir la partie inférieure pliée du vêtement sur la barre inférieure 7 du cadre 4.In Figure 1, we see that the hanger comprises a central upright 1 whose upper end is secured to a hook 2. From the central upright extends transversely (and horizontally in the hanging position) a bar 3 or support superior. At the lower part of the central upright is a frame 4, the central part 5 is open to allow the passage of part of the garment as will be explained later. At the lateral ends of the frame 4 are provided two clips 6 allowing the folded lower part of the garment to be held on the lower bar 7 of the frame 4.

Au dessous de la barrette 3 sont formées deux pinces 8 permettant de bloquer l'encolure du vêtement contre la face inférieure 9 de la barrette 3. Un bossage 10 prévu à l'intérieur des pinces permet d'assujettir l'article sur un cintre sans que l'article glisse notamment durant les transports mais également lors de la présentation, en le pressant sur le côté intérieur de la pince. En effet, l'encolure présente une certaine surépaisseur par rapport au reste du vêtement et le bossage 10 permet de repousser celui-ci vers la partie intérieure de la pince pour bloquer l'article.Below the bar 3 are formed two clips 8 making it possible to block the neck of the garment against the underside 9 of the bar 3. A boss 10 provided inside the clips makes it possible to secure the article on a hanger without that the article slides in particular during transport but also during presentation, by pressing it on the inside of the clamp. Indeed, the neck has a certain extra thickness compared to the rest of the garment and the boss 10 makes it possible to push it towards the interior part of the clip to block the article.

La figure 2 représente le cintre vue de profil et les mêmes références indiquent les mêmes éléments et en particulier on voit que les pinces 6 et 8 font saillie par rapport au corps du cintre pour des raisons de résistance mécanique.FIG. 2 represents the hanger seen in profile and the same references indicate the same elements and in particular it can be seen that the clamps 6 and 8 protrude relative to the body of the hanger for reasons of mechanical resistance.

Sur la figure 3 est représentée un article H, présentant une encolure E, monté sur un cintre selon l'invention. Afin de faciliter la compréhension, les plis du vêtement ont été écartés. Pratiquement, tous les articles sont, après fabrication, pliés sur un encart de sorte que les dimensions de pliage soient les mêmes pour tous les articles, indépendamment de leurs tailles. L'encart (non représenté) défini une ligne de pliage A. La pose d'un cintre selon l'invention sur un article plié s'effectue de la façon suivante :In Figure 3 is shown an article H, having a neck E, mounted on a hanger according to the invention. In order to facilitate understanding, the folds of the garment have been removed. Practically all the articles are, after manufacture, folded on an insert so that the folding dimensions are the same for all the articles, regardless of their sizes. The insert (not shown) defines a fold line A. The fitting of a hanger according to the invention on a folded article is carried out as follows:

L'encolure E est glissée au-dessous de la barre 3 et est enprisonnée par les pinces 8. Le bord de l'article matérialisé par la ligne B est ensuite glissé au-dessus de la barre 7 et ses extrémités sont maintenues par les pinces 6. Ainsi, l'article peut être exposé en vue de la vente sur son cintre. L'article est ainsi plié sur la barrette 7 passant de l'arrière du cintre vers l'avant de celui-ci à travers l'ouverture. En fonction de sa longueur cet article est déjà plié autour d'une ligne C et son extrémité inférieure est emprisonnée entre les deux nappes avant et arrière de l'article.The neck E is slipped below the bar 3 and is trapped by the pliers 8. The edge of the article materialized by the line B is then slipped over the bar 7 and its ends are held by the pliers 6. Thus, the article can be displayed for sale on its hanger. The article is thus folded on the bar 7 passing from the rear of the hanger towards the front thereof through the opening. Depending on its length, this article is already folded around a line C and its lower end is trapped between the two front and rear layers of the article.

Le cintre selon l'invention, est avantageusement fabriqué par moulage d'une matière plastique telle que du polystyrène, par exemple, qui présente une certaine souplesse de sorte que le cintre puisse se déformer élastiquement lors de la pose de l'article. Il permet de disposer sur le cintre un article déjà plié sans avoir à le déplier.The hanger according to the invention is advantageously made by molding a plastic material such as polystyrene, for example, which has a certain flexibility so that the hanger can deform elastically during the laying of the article. It allows an already folded article to be placed on the hanger without having to unfold it.
