Definitions

• the present invention relates to a device integrated in the construction of clothes racks
• valets generally have, in addition to a hanger, a horizontal bar on which the pants are placed, which folds in half and frequently risks slipping. In addition, it does not wrinkle but sometimes takes bad folds because it is difficult to properly place it on this support.
• the device according to the invention overcomes these drawbacks. From passive, the valet becomes active.
• a first characteristic is the addition of pliers sufficient to hold the width of the pants and giving off height, that of the same garment.
• the second characteristic is the control of this clamp by a pedal which can be connected by any means to the movable jaw of this clamp to give it its geometric and dynamic movement of opening and closing.
• the mechanical solutions and materials chosen for its execution are not limiting.
• the materials can be wood, plywood, chipboard, plastics (molded or not) metal in simple or combined use for each of them.
• Mechanical solutions can be pedal with lever, cable for transmission, hydraulic, electric system, etc ...
• the constituent elements are (for a possible assembly in kit):
• a first wooden bar (2) of approximate section 25 m / m, 30 m / m of sufficient length to release a height of pants is targeted on the vertical edge of the plywood (1) without going to the bottom (to let the passage and travel of the pedal (7)). Its upper end has a recess (20) oriented in the direction of the wall (1) and a transverse hole (15). At the top of this bar (2) a little below is placed the fixed jaw (13) of the pliers forming a cross whose horizontal branch is perpendicular to the wall (1).
• a first cleat (3) of the same section as (2) comprising a hook (9) screwed on the edge of its lower side.
• the movable part consists of a wooden bar (6) of the same section as the others, which may include in its middle an articulation (19) essential in the case where (2) and (6) are in direct friction which will be slid between the battens (3) and (4) stopping a few centimeters from the lower edge of the wall (1). Its upper part at the same height as (2) has the same recess (21) and hole as (2).
• the movable element of the clamp consists of a rod (11) made of plywood of 10 m / m for example, in the shape of an L reversed on the right.
• the vertical part of the inverted L supports the other jaw (12) of the pliers and its horizontal part is pierced with two holes at the exact distance separating those from the top of the bars (2) and (6) and of the same diameter.
• the link (11) is slid into the recesses (20) and (21) so as to form the clamp and then fixed by pins passing through the juxtaposed holes of the bieiliette (11) and the bars (2) and (6).
• a second wall identical to (1) is screwed onto (2) and (5) so as to enclose and stabilize the assembly.
• a foot (16) screwed cross at the bottom and at the rear of the assembly which is only a few hundred meters thick ensures its lateral stability.
• a board (17) fixed longitudinally and flat under the valet and extending to the pedal (7) provides front and rear stability when the pedal undergoes the thrust controlling the opening of the clamp.
• the clamp At rest, the clamp is kept closed by the traction of the spring (10) which at the same time serves as a reminder of the pedal (7) in the high position.
• the transmission bar (6) on which the pedal (7) is fixed descends, carrying with it the link (11) which it is secured by an axis, in a movement which opens the movable jaw (12) fixed directly on this link. Both hands of the user remain completely free to engage the garment.
• the clamp is closed by the return spring (10) which, by bringing the pedal back
• the bar (6) has in its lower part two identical metal brackets (22) between which the upright (2) passes freely and at the end of which the pedal is fixed behind the upright (2).
• the return spring (10) is fixed for its lower part on the wood of the pedal fixed between the two brackets, by means of a hook screw (8) and for its upper part on the upright (2) by the same by means of a hook screw (9).
• the upright (2) is fixed firmly on the plate (23).
