Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a shoe rack intended to serve as a display in stores and which comprises a central rod terminated by a hanging hook and two lateral eyelets, located on either side of the central rod and on which the shoes are likely to be strung.
  • a first known type of shoe rack especially described in document US-A-4,073,457 consists of a suspension hook and two side hooks, which are integral with a central part; the suspension hook is necessarily pivotally mounted, by means of a hinge connection, relative to the central part.
  • the lateral hooks are located in two substantially parallel planes, and form an approximately 90 ° angle with the central part.
  • the suspension of a pair of shoes is carried out by hanging each shoe, in particular by means of its heel, on each lateral hook, which acts as a clamp.
  • the lateral hooks of the shoe rack can be pivotally mounted relative to the central part.
  • the action of their weight causes a rotation of about 90 ° of each lateral hook relative to the part central until the two lateral hooks are situated in two planes substantially parallel, and perpendicular to the plane of the central part.
  • the functionality of the hinge connection separating the suspension hook and the central part, and possibly of the hinge connections separating the lateral hooks and the central part, is to allow a correct positioning of the various elements constituting the shoe rack, under the action of the weight of the pair of shoes.
  • the aim sought by the applicant is to propose a shoe rack of the aforementioned second type which overcomes the drawbacks noted in that it makes it possible to save space when the shoes are put on the lateral eyelets of the shoe rack, in particular for the transport of the shoe / shoe rack assembly.

  • the shoe holder comprises, between the central rod and at least one lateral eyelet, a pivoting means making it possible to fold the shoe holder so that the shoes put on are substantially facing the face. one against the other.
  • the shoe rack has only one pivot means which is capable of pivoting the corresponding lateral eyelet, relative to the central rod, by an angle between 120 and 180 ° .
  • the shoe rack comprises two pivoting means, between the central rod and each of the two lateral eyelets, said means being able to pivot the two lateral eyelets towards one another. Angle between 60 and 90 °.
  • the pivoting means in one as in the other embodiment, consists for example in a fold line, integral with the corresponding lateral eyelet and the central rod and which is parallel to the general direction of the latter .
  • the central rod is well wedged along these.
  • the shoe holder of the invention further comprises, for each lateral eyelet which can be folded relative to the central rod, first means for blocking said eyelet in the unfolded position.
  • the first locking means consist at least of a first part comprising a notch and a second part, part of which, called a socket, has a thickness equal to the width of the notch.
  • the first part is exclusively secured either to the lateral eyelet or to the central rod, depending on whether the second part is secured exclusively to the central rod or the lateral eyelet, so that the socket part of the second part is fitted into the notch of the first part when the eyelet is in the unfolded position.
  • the adjustment of the first and second pieces when they are nested must be sufficiently precise, to allow the blocking of the second piece in the notch of the first piece, so that the lateral eyelet which is in the unfolded position , cannot be folded inadvertently.
  • the central rod comprises, under the suspension hook, a pivoting means making it possible to fold the suspension hook towards the opposite end of the central rod. Thanks to this particular arrangement, it is possible to also fold the hanger so as to obtain an optimal space saving when pairing and positioning the shoes face to face.
  • the shoe holder comprises second means for blocking the suspension hook in the unfolded position.
  • the second blocking means consist of at least a third part and a fourth part having the same characteristics respectively as the first and second parts constituting the first blocking means, and capable of fitting one into the other when the shoe rack hook is in the unfolded position.
  • the shoe rack consists of a single piece of plastic material, in particular injected polypropylene; in this case the fold line consists of a rectilinear zone of smaller thickness.
  • the shoe holder preferably comprises a part which is integral with the central rod and which has an opening for the passage of the flexible link.

  • the central rod 2 comprises in its upper part, under the suspension hook 3, a pivoting means 8 which is able to fold the suspension hook 3 towards the opposite end of said central rod, as illustrated in FIG. 2 by the arrow H. Thanks to this particular position, the shoe holder no longer projects beyond the space occupied by the shoes themselves, which optimally reduces the space occupied by the assembly made up of the shoe holder and the two shoes. of the same pair during its transport from the place of manufacture to the place of distribution.
  • the pivoting means 8 is also produced in the form of a zone of lesser thickness, located transversely in the upper 2 relative to axis A, A '.
  • the rigidity of the shoe rack 1, at the level of the central rod 2, is obtained by a reinforcement 9, the central rod 2 having at the level of this reinforcement 9 and in cross section the shape of a T.
  • the upper part of the rod, comprising the suspension hook 3 as well as the fold line 8 does not include any reinforcement 9, as is clearly shown in FIG. 2.
  • the central rod 2 is equipped with a part 10 pierced with a hole 11.
  • This part 10 is only useful in the case where the two shoes of the same pair are connected by a flexible link which can be in the form of a thin metal cable or a polyamide wire for example.
  • the part 10 in question makes it possible to secure the shoe holder 1 to the assembly constituted by the two shoes of the same pair connected by the flexible connection. To do this during pairing, the flexible connection is passed through the hole 11.
  • the through hole is a hole whose periphery is closed.
  • the hole 11 would be provided with a notch and the part 10 would be equipped with stop means so that it would be possible to introduce the flexible connection already fixed to the shoes in the hole 11 by the notch, while this connection, once introduced into the hole 11, would be prevented from leaving it by the stop means.
  • the two side eyelets 4, 5 fold back towards each other in the direction of the arrows F and G, and at the same time towards the part 10, which is a plate, mounted in the extension of the reinforcement 9, along the axis A, A '.
  • the shoe rack 1 in which the direction of pivoting of the lateral eyelets 4, 5 would be reversed, that is to say according to the direction of the dotted arrows F 'and G', in this case it is the reinforcement 9 who would be trapped between the two shoes folded against each other.
  • the shoe rack 1 it would then be preferable for the shoe rack 1 to be provided with a complementary pivoting means situated between the central rod and the piece 10 and allowing the pivoting of the latter. ci at an angle of around 90 °.
  • FIG. 4 shows a shoe rack 1 a , which is an improvement on the shoe rack 1 of FIG. 1.
  • the elements of the shoe rack 1 a which are referenced 2 a , 3 a , 4 a , 5 a , 6 a , 7 a , 8 a , 9 a and 10 a have the same characteristics, previously described, of the elements of the shoe rack 1 which are referenced respectively 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 , 8, 9 and 10.
  • the shoe rack 1 a differs from the shoe rack 1 in that it typically comprises, for each lateral eyelet 4 a , 5 a , first means for locking the eyelet in the unfolded position, such as illustrated in Figures 4 and 5.
  • first locking means are constituted by a first 12 and second 15 parts.
  • the first part 12 is a rectangular parallelepiped which is secured exclusively to the central rod 2 a , and one face 13 of which adjoins the fold line 7 a .
  • this face 13 hereinafter called the socket face, is made, perpendicular to the plane of the central rod 2 a , a rectilinear notch 14, of width l , the first part 12 thus having the shape of a U.
  • the second part 15 is a plate which has the shape of a parallelogram (FIG. 6), which is integral, by one of its longer edges, exclusively with the lateral eyelet 5 a , and one edge of which adjoins the fold line 7 a , so that a part 16 of the second part 15 is not situated vertically from the lateral eyelet 5 a but protrudes relative to said eyelet.
  • This projecting part 16 will be called in the remainder of this text socket part.
  • the first 12 and second 15 parts are positioned opposite one another so that the lateral eyelet 5 a is in the unfolded position (Figure 5), the socket part 16 of the second piece 15 fits into the notch 14 of the first piece 12.
  • the thickness of the second piece 15, and therefore of the socket part 16 is chosen to be equal to or slightly less than the width l of the notch 14. In this way, the friction force existing between the socket part 16 and the interior of the notch 14 is opposed to the withdrawal of the socket part.
  • the lateral eyelet 5 a is thus blocked in the unfolded position. Its release is obtained by exerting, on the lateral eyelet 5 has a pressure sufficient to compensate the friction force existing between the notch portion 14 and the socket 16.
  • the first locking means of the lateral eyelet 4 a in the unfolded position consist of a first 18 and second 19 parts, which are identical to the first 12 and second 15 parts respectively constituting the first locking means of the lateral eyelet 5 has in the unfolded position.

  • FIG. 6 As a shoe rack made by injection of a thermoplastic material in a manufacturing mold, there is shown in Figure 6, the profile seen from below of the shoe rack 1 a at its exit from the mold. It is clear that the shoe rack 1 a is not molded flat, but that the side eyelets 4 a and 5 a each make an angle C with the central rod 2 a . This angular offset which exists for example between the lateral eyelet 5 a and the central rod 2 a , allows the first 12 and second 15 parts to be produced simply, by placing a tapered blade vertically from the fold line during molding. 7 a . The socket face 13 of the first part 12 is thus produced in a single operation, the straight edge 17 of the socket part 16 which is intended to penetrate into the notch 14 of the first part 12, and the line of folding 7 a .
  • first 12 and second 15 parts are not necessarily adjacent to the fold line 7 a. It is also possible to reverse the position of the first and second parts relative to the fold line 7 a .
  • the first locking means can be constituted by several sets of first and second parts.
  • the fold line 8a intended to allow the folding of the hook 3a, is not located, unlike the fold line 8 of shoe rack 1 on the same side of the shoe holder that the fold lines 6 a and 7 a .
  • the lateral eyelets 4 a and 5 a are in the folded position, that is to say in a position such that the part 10 a is trapped between said eyelets, it is then possible to fold the hook 3 a against the rod central 2 a , without being hampered by the lateral eyelets 4 a and 5 a .
  • the length L of the hook 3 a for suspension is equal to the distance separating the upper end of the reinforcement 9 a and the fold line 8 a .
  • the reinforcement 9 has acted as a means for blocking the hook 3 a for suspension, when the latter is in the folded position against the central rod 2 a .
  • the shoe rack 1 a advantageously comprises second means for blocking the hook 3 a in the unfolded position, as shown in FIG. 7.
  • These second blocking means consisting of a third 20 and fourth 21 parts are at all points similar to the first means for locking a lateral eyelet in the unfolded position.
  • the invention is not limited to the two embodiments of a shoe holder which have been described by way of nonlimiting examples.
  • the shoe rack of the invention can be produced by other means than thermoplastic injection, using other types of pivoting means, such as for example hinges.
