Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Kleiderbügel für Hosen und Röcke, bei dem an den beiden Enden einer Stange Klammern zum Halten der Hosen oder Röcken befestigt sind. In der Mitte der Stange befindet sich ein Aufhängehaken. Die Stange hat einen abgeflachten Querschnitt und jede Klammer weist zwei Klammerbacken auf, die jeweils Öffnungen zur Lagerung der Klammerbacken auf der Stange enthalten. Durch eine Feder werden die Klammerbacken geschlossen gehalten.The invention relates to a clothes hanger for pants and skirts, in which clips are attached to the two ends of a rod for holding the pants or skirts. There is a hanging hook in the middle of the bar. The rod has a flattened cross-section and each clamp has two clamp jaws, each of which contains openings for mounting the clamp jaws on the rod. The clamp jaws are kept closed by a spring.

Bei einem allgemein bekannten Kleiderbügel dieser Bauart sind die Öffnungen der einen Klammerbacke entsprechend dem Querschnitt der Stange oval ausgebildet, so daß sich diese Klammerbacke nicht auf der Stange drehen kann. Die andere Klammerbacke hat kreisförmige Öffnungen, so daß sie zum Öffnen der Klammer um die Stange verschwenkbar ist. Durch die drehfeste Lagerung der einen Klammerbacke wird erreicht, daß sich die Klammer immer in der richtigen Position auf der Stange befindet, in der sie sich nach unten öffnet, und daß die Griffenden der Klammerbacken nach oben zeigen. Dadurch daß jeweils die eine Klammerbacke jeder Klammer drehfest auf der Stange angeordnet ist, wird beim Öffnen der Klammer auf die Stange ein Drehmoment ausgeübt. Da bei der Handhabung des Kleiderbügels der Benutzer im allgemeinen die Griffenden der Klammern festhält, drehen sich die Stange und der daran befestigte Aufhängehaken. Wenn der Kleiderbügel bereits an einer Kleiderstange eingehängt ist, führt dies zu einer seitlichen Bewegung des Kleiderbügels. Bei der Herstellung des Kleiderbügels müssen die Klammerbacken getrennt bevorratet werden und es muß darauf geachtet werden, daß die drehfest angeordneten Klammerbacken an den Stangenenden nach der gleichen Seite Zeigen, damit die Klammern beim Öffnen nicht entgegengesetzte Drehmomente auf die Stange ausüben.In a generally known coat hanger of this type, the openings of the one clamp jaw are oval in accordance with the cross section of the rod, so that this clamp jaw cannot rotate on the rod. The other clamp jaw has circular openings so that it can be pivoted around the rod to open the clamp. The non-rotatable mounting of the one clamp jaw ensures that the clamp is always in the correct position on the rod in which it opens downwards and that the grip ends of the clamp jaws point upwards. Characterized in that the one clamp jaw of each clamp is rotatably arranged on the rod, a torque is exerted on the rod when the clamp is opened. Since the user generally holds the handle ends of the clips when handling the hanger, the bar and the hanging hook attached to it rotate. If the hanger is already attached to a clothes rail, this leads to a lateral movement of the hanger. When making the coat hanger, the clamp jaws must be stored separately and care must be taken that the clamp jaws, which are arranged in a rotationally fixed manner, point on the rod ends to the same side, so that the clamps do not exert opposite torques on the rod when opened.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Kleiderbügel der eingangs genannten Art so zu verbessern, daß beim Öffnen der Klammern kein Drehmoment auf die Stange ausgeübt wird.The invention is therefore based on the object of improving a hanger of the type mentioned in such a way that no torque is exerted on the rod when the clamps are opened.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß die Öffnungen der Klammerbacken oben und unten konkav und seitlich konvex begrenzt sind, wobei der Abstand der konkaven Begrenzungslinien der größeren Querschnittsabmessung der Stange und der Abstand der konvexen Begrenzungslinien der kleineren Querschnittsabmessung der Stange entspricht und die Öffnungen der beiden Klammerbacken jeder Klammer gleich sind.According to the invention this object is achieved in that the openings of the clamping jaws are concave at the top and bottom and laterally convex, the distance of the concave boundary lines corresponding to the larger cross-sectional dimension of the rod and the distance of the convex boundary lines corresponding to the smaller cross-sectional dimension of the rod and the openings of the two Clamp jaws of each clamp are the same.

Die seitlichen, konvexen Begrenzungslinien verhindern, daß die Klammerbacken bei einer ungeschickten Handhabung oder bereits mit geringem Kraftaufwand vollständig um die Stange gedreht werden können. Würden nämlich die konvexen Begrenzungslinien durch gerade Begrenzungslinien ersetzt so müssen diese Begrenzungslinien einen deutlich größeren Abstand aufweisen, als der kleineren Querschnittsabmessung der Stange entspricht, damit die zum Öffnen der Klammern notwendige Drehbarkeit besteht. Die Öffnungen sind dann nahezu kreisrund und mit geringem Kraftaufwand können die Klammern vollständig um die Stange gedreht werden. Diese Aufweitung der Öffnungen in den Klammerbacken ist bei erfindungsgemäßen Kleiderbügeln nicht möglich.The lateral, convex boundary lines prevent the clamp jaws from being rotated completely around the rod in the case of unskillful handling or with little effort. If the convex boundary lines were replaced by straight boundary lines, these boundary lines must have a significantly greater distance than the smaller cross-sectional dimension of the rod, so that there is the rotatability necessary to open the clamps. The openings are then almost circular and the clamps can be rotated completely around the rod with little effort. This widening of the openings in the clamp jaws is not possible with hangers according to the invention.

Durch die spezielle Form der Öffnungen der Klammerbacken ergibt sich eine Verschwenkbarkeit der Klammerbacken auf der Stange innerhalb eines bestimmten Winkelbereichs. Die Öffnungen sind so innerhalb der Klammerbacken ausgerichtet, daß durch die Verschwenkbarkeit der Klammerbacken diese geschlossen und geöffnet werden können. Die Längsrichtung der Öffnungen liegt dabei ungefähr parallel zur Längserstreckung der Klammerbacken.The special shape of the openings of the clamp jaws allows the clamp jaws to pivot on the rod within a certain angular range. The openings are aligned within the clamp jaws in such a way that the clamp jaws can be closed and opened due to the pivotability. The longitudinal direction of the openings is approximately parallel to the longitudinal extent of the clamping jaws.

Die Klammerbacken sind zweckmäßig längliche Blechstreifen, in die zur Versteifung in Längsrichtung Rillen oder Rippen geprägt sind. Auf halber Länge sind seitlich rechtwinklige Abwinklungen vorgesehen, in denen sich die Öffnungen befinden, mit denen die Klammerbacken auf die Stange aufgeschoben werden. Die Klemmenden der Klammerbacken, die zwischen sich das Kleidungsstück festklemmen, sind zweckmäßig mit rutschhemmenden Kunststoffüberzügen versehen. Die anderen, der Handhabung dienenden Griffenden sind zweckmäßigerweise muldenförmig vertieft, um ein Abrutschen der Finger des Benutzers beim Öffnen der Klammern zu vermeiden.The clamp jaws are expediently elongated metal strips into which grooves or ribs are embossed in the longitudinal direction for stiffening. Half-way there are right-angled anglings provided in which are the openings with which the clamp jaws are pushed onto the rod. The clamping ends of the clamp jaws, which clamp the garment between them, are expediently provided with non-slip plastic covers. The other handle ends, which are used for handling, are expediently recessed in a trough-shaped manner in order to prevent the user's fingers from slipping off when the clips are opened.

Zweckmäßig ist die Form und die Ausrichtung der Öffnungen derart, daß eine Tangente an die eine seitliche, konvexe Begrenzung von der dazu parallelen Tangente an die andere, gegenüberliegende, seitliche Begrenzung einen Abstand hat, der geringfügig größer als die kleinere Querschnittsabmessung der Stange ist. Dies gilt für alle Tangenten, die an die konvexen Begrenzungen legbar sind.The shape and the orientation of the openings are expediently such that a tangent to one side, convex boundary is at a distance from the tangent parallel to it to the other, opposite, lateral boundary, which is slightly larger than the smaller cross-sectional dimension of the rod. This applies to all tangents that can be placed on the convex boundaries.

Gemäß Fig. 1 weist der Kleiderbügel eine Stange 1 auf, von der in der Mitte nach oben ein Aufhängehaken 2 absteht. An den beiden Enden der Stange 1 sitzen nach unten zeigende Klammern 3, an denen z.B. eine Hose oder ein Rock festgeklemmt werden kann.1, the clothes hanger has a rod 1, from which a hanging hook 2 protrudes upwards in the middle. At the two ends of the rod 1 there are clamps 3 pointing downwards, to which, for example, trousers or a skirt can be clamped.

Gemäß den Fig. 2 und 5 besteht jede Klammer 3 aus zwei identischen Klammerbacken 4. Jede Klammerbacke 4 ist ein länglicher Blechstreifen, von dessen Seitenlinien in der Mitte Abwinklungen 5 gleichgerichtet abstehen. In den Abwinklungen 5 befinden sich Öffnungen 6, mit denen die Klammerbacken 4 auf die Stange 1 aufgeschoben werden können. Im zusammengebauten Zustand liegen die beiden Klammerbacken 4 einander auf der Stange 1 gegenüber und sind seitlich nur um die Materialdicke der Abwinklungen 5 versetzt. Durch eine Schenkelfeder 7 wird die Klammer 3 geschlossen gehalten. Die Schenkelfeder 7 ist eine Wendel aus Federstahldraht mit gerade abstehenden Enden des Federstahldrahtes. Diese Enden liegen innen an den Griffenden 8 der Klammerbacken 4 an und drücken diese auseinander, so daß die Klemmenden 9 der Klammerbacken 4 zusammengedrückt werden. Die Klemmenden 9 können mit einem rutschhemmenden Kunststoffüberzug 10 versehen sein.According to FIGS. 2 and 5, each clamp 3 consists of two identical clamp jaws 4. Each clamp jaw 4 is an elongated sheet metal strip, from the side lines of which angled portions 5 protrude in the middle. In the bends 5 there are openings 6 with which the clamp jaws 4 can be pushed onto the rod 1. In the assembled state, the two clamp jaws 4 lie opposite one another on the rod 1 and are offset laterally only by the material thickness of the bends 5. The clamp 3 is kept closed by a leg spring 7. The leg spring 7 is a coil of spring steel wire with just protruding ends of the spring steel wire. These ends lie on the inside of the grip ends 8 of the clamp jaws 4 and press them apart, so that the clamp ends 9 of the clamp jaws 4 are pressed together. The clamping ends 9 can be provided with a non-slip plastic cover 10.

Um zu verhindern, daß die Klammern 3 sich frei auf der Stange 1 drehen können, hat einerseits die Stange 1 einen abgeflachten Querschnitt und haben andererseits die Öffnungen 6 eine solche Form, daß sich die Klammerbacken 4 nur in einem begrenzten Winkelbereich auf der Stange 1 drehen können. Der Querschnitt der Stange 1 ist oben und unten durch Kreisbögen und seitlich durch Geraden begrenzt. Zweckmäßig wird dieses Profil durch Walzen eines Rundstahldrahtes hergestellt. Die Querschnittsabmessungen sind 4,5 x 3 mm.In order to prevent the clamps 3 from rotating freely on the rod 1, the rod 1 has a flattened cross-section on the one hand and the openings 6 on the other hand have such a shape that the clamp jaws 4 rotate on the rod 1 only in a limited angular range can. The cross section of the rod 1 is limited at the top and bottom by arcs and laterally by straight lines. This profile is expediently produced by rolling a round steel wire. The cross-sectional dimensions are 4.5 x 3 mm.

Die gestanzten Öffnungen 6 sind oben und unten durch kreisbogenförmige, konkave Begrenzungen 11 abgeschlossen, die mit dem für die Beweglichkeit erforderlichen geringen Spiel der abgerundeten Oberseite und Unterseite der Stange 1 entsprechen. Seitlich haben die Öffnungen 6 konvexe Begrenzungen 12 (Fig. 4). Zu jeder Tangente 13 an die konvexe Begrenzung 12 auf der einen Seite läßt sich eine parallele Tangente an die konvexe Begrenzung 12 auf der anderen Seite legen (Fig. 3). Der Abstand a der Tangenten 13, 14 muß dabei jeweils geringfügig größer als die kleinere Querabmessung der Stange 1 sein. Für unterschiedliche Paare zueinander paralleler Tangenten liegen dabei die Berührungspunkte mit den konvexen Begrenzungen 12 immer diametral gegenüber. Der sich aus der Form der Öffnungen 6 ergebende Verschwenkungswinkel definiert zwei Endpositionen, wobei die eine Endposition der geschlossenen Stellung der Klammer 3 entspricht und die andere Endposition der geöffneten Stellung. Jede Klammer 3 ist etwa um 30° verschwenkbar, wobei dieser Winkel von den Abmessungsverhältnissen abhängt. Der Verschwenkungswinkel entspricht dem Winkel ß, unter dem die Tangenten 15, 16 zu einander verlaufen, die an die Endpunkte der konvexen Begrenzung 12 legbar sind. In diesen Endpunkten treffen sich die konvexen Begrenzungen 12 und die konkaven Begrenzungen 11.The punched openings 6 are closed at the top and bottom by circular, concave boundaries 11, which correspond to the rounded top and bottom of the rod 1 with the slight play required for mobility. The openings 6 have convex boundaries 12 on the side (FIG. 4). A parallel tangent to the convex boundary 12 on the other side can be placed for each tangent 13 to the convex boundary 12 on the one side (FIG. 3). The distance a of the tangents 13, 14 must in each case be slightly larger than that be smaller transverse dimension of the rod 1. For different pairs of mutually parallel tangents, the contact points with the convex boundaries 12 are always diametrically opposite. The pivot angle resulting from the shape of the openings 6 defines two end positions, one end position corresponding to the closed position of the clamp 3 and the other end position corresponding to the open position. Each bracket 3 is pivotable about 30 °, this angle depending on the dimensional relationships. The pivot angle corresponds to the angle β, at which the tangents 15, 16 run to one another, which can be placed at the end points of the convex boundary 12. The convex boundaries 12 and the concave boundaries 11 meet at these end points.

Der Zusammenbau der Klammer 3 erfolgt in der Weise, daß die Schraubenfeder 7 so zwischen die beiden Klammerbacken 4 eingelegt wird, daß sich die Federschenkel gegen die Griffenden 8 abstützen. Die Klammerbacken 4 werden dann von Hand oder maschinell so aufeinanderzubewegt, daß die insgesamt vier Öffnungen 6 der beiden Klammerbacken 4 und die Achse des gewendelten Teils der Schenkelfeder 7 miteinander fluchten, und durch die fluchtenden Öffnungen 6 und die dazwischen liegende Schenkelfeder 7 wird dann die Stange 1 geschoben. An den äußeren Enden wird die Stange 1 verstemmt oder mit anderen gleichwirkenden Sicherungselementen versehen, damit die Klammer 3 nicht von der Stange 1 heruntergeschoben werden kann.The clamp 3 is assembled in such a way that the coil spring 7 is inserted between the two clamp jaws 4 in such a way that the spring legs are supported against the handle ends 8. The clamp jaws 4 are then moved by hand or by machine so that the total of four openings 6 of the two clamp jaws 4 and the axis of the coiled part of the leg spring 7 are in alignment with one another, and through the aligned openings 6 and the leg spring 7 in between, the rod then becomes 1 pushed. At the outer ends, the rod 1 is caulked or provided with other securing elements with the same effect, so that the clamp 3 cannot be pushed off the rod 1.

Statt einer Schenkelfeder 7 mit einem gewendelten Mittelteil kann auch eine U-förmige Blattfeder oder eine Schraubendruckfeder zwischen die Griffenden 8 der Klammerbacken 4 eingelegt werden. Die Klammerbacken 4 können auch aus Kunststoff hergestellt werden, wobei die Öffnungen 6 dann zweckmäßig in Ansätzen ausgebildet sind, die sich von der Mitte der Klammerbacke bis zur einen Seite erstrecken, so daß zwei Klammerbacken 4 gegeneinandergekehrt sich mit ihren Ansätzen ergänzen. Die Ansätze können auch so wie aus der GB-PS 651 186 bekannt ausgebildet sein, wobei jede Klammerbacke asymmetrisch angeordnete Ansätze oder Abwinklungen aufweist. Aus Stabili-tätsgründen ist die Stange 1 im allgemeinen so ausgerichtet, daß die größere Querabmessung in vertikaler Richtung zeigt. Es ist jedoch auch möglich, die Stange 1 um 90° zu drehen, so daß die kleinere Querabmessung in vertikaler Richtung verläuft, wobei dann die Öffnungen 6 ebenfalls um 90° gedreht werden müssen.Instead of a leg spring 7 with a coiled central part, a U-shaped leaf spring or a helical compression spring can also be inserted between the handle ends 8 of the clamping jaws 4. The jaws 4 can also be made of plastic, the openings 6 are then expediently formed in approaches that extend from the center of the jaw to one side, so that two jaws 4 complement each other with their approaches. The approaches can also be designed as known from GB-PS 651 186, each clamp jaw having asymmetrically arranged approaches or bends. For reasons of stability the rod 1 is generally oriented so that the larger transverse dimension points in the vertical direction. However, it is also possible to rotate the rod 1 by 90 ° so that the smaller transverse dimension runs in the vertical direction, in which case the openings 6 must also be rotated by 90 °.
