Definitions

  • the invention relates to a clothes hanger adjustable span, in which two support arms extending in the opposite direction away from the housing are slidably mounted in a housing.
  • the two support arms have a toothing and are coupled by a gearwheel, so that the two support arms each move the same distance and the housing is always in the middle between the end points of the support arms.
  • the set span of the hanger can be fixed.
  • a hanging hook protrudes upwards from the housing.
  • one support arm is toothed on the underside and the other support arm on the top and the axis of the gear wheel, which couples the two support arms, lies horizontally.
  • a pawl mechanism is also provided to fix the support arms in the desired position. To adjust the span of the coat hanger, the latch is released using a lever.
  • a hanger of the type mentioned is known, in which the axis of the gear wheel, which couples the two support arms, is arranged vertically.
  • a limitedly displaceable locking rod is provided on one of the two support arms, which is connected to the holding device at the outer end of this support arm and prevents displacement of the support arms when an inward force acts on the holding device.
  • the locking rod is moved into its release position, so that the support arms are displaceable.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a hanger adjustable span, which is simple in construction.
  • this object is achieved in that a span fixing device is also provided in the housing, which can be disengaged and engaged with the gear and opposes the rotation of the gear.
  • the clothes hanger according to the invention is used in such a way that the span of the clothes hanger is first set, only the two support arms of the clothes hanger being coupled, while the span fixing device is decoupled.
  • the span of the clothes hanger is adjusted by pulling a support arm out of the housing to the desired length or pushing it into it. Due to the coupling, the other support arm inevitably adjusts to the same length.
  • the span fixing device is coupled to the two arms.
  • the span fixing device preferably has a toothed rack and the toothed wheel can be displaced between two positions, wherein in the one position it couples only the two support arms and in the other position the two support arms and additionally the toothed rack.
  • the suspension hook has an upper, curved area and a lower, straight shaft.
  • the gearwheel is preferably rotatable on the shaft of the suspension hook, but is not axially displaceable relative to the suspension hook, so that the gearwheel can be brought into and out of engagement with the span fixing device by displacement of the suspension hook. Since in this embodiment the axis of rotation of the gearwheel coincides with the axis of the shaft of the suspension hook and is thus aligned vertically, the side surfaces of the support arms facing one another are provided with the toothing.
  • the gear wheel can also be mounted on a separate axle, which is independent of the suspension hook, the coupling and uncoupling of the span fixing device then being able to take place in that the ends of the axle on which the gear wheel is mounted protrude from the housing, so that the Axle can be moved in the axial direction from the outside by pressure on the axis ends and thus the span fixing device can be engaged and disengaged.
  • the axis of rotation of the gear can also be horizontal.
  • the resistance which the span fixing device opposes to the rotation of the gearwheel in the coupled state can be rigid or resilient and accordingly the rack is fixedly arranged in the housing or is slidably mounted and is acted upon by a spring.
  • the embodiment is sufficient in which the span fixing device is rigid, so that the hanger behaves like a rigid hanger after setting a certain span.
  • the embodiment in which the span fixing device opposes a rotation of the gear and thus a change in the span resilient resistance offers the advantage that the span of the clothes hanger can be adjusted independently of the tension of a spring and that after adjusting the span of the clothes hanger the ends of the support arms are spring-loaded, the characteristic of this spring effect being independent of the set span.
  • delicate garments e.g. Garments with an elastic waistband are protected by the resilient force of the support arms.
  • the rack is acted upon by a spring in such a way that a resilient resistance is opposed to a displacement of the support arms in the sense of shortening the span of the clothes hanger.
  • the spring acting on the spring rod is thus compressed, so that, for example, the collar of a skirt suspended from the coat hanger is tensioned with the relatively small force exerted by the spring.
  • the adjustable clothes hanger has a housing 1, a left and a right support arm 2, 3 and a hanging hook 4 with a curved upper part and a lower, straight shaft 11.
  • the housing 1 is formed from an approximately rectangularly bent sheet metal strip and has a long horizontal extension with an upper side 5 and an underside 6 and two short vertical sides 7 and 8.
  • the suspension hook 4 is mounted in central openings in the top 5 and the underside 6, the ends of the sheet metal strip from which the housing 1 is formed being located in the region of the opening in the underside 6 overlap.
  • the suspension hook 4 is provided at its lower end projecting over the underside 6 with a widened flattening 9 which carries the clothes hanger.
  • the support arms 2 and 3 are guided in vertical slots 10 in the vertical sides 7 and 8 of the housing 1.
  • the slots 10 for the left arm 2 and those for the right arm 3 are at the same height, so that the arms 2 and 3 are at the same height.
  • the support arms 2 and 3 are thus mounted in parallel at a defined distance.
  • the straight shaft 11 of the suspension hook 4 runs between the support arms 2 and 3 within the housing 1.
  • the mutually facing sides of the support arms 2, 3 are each provided with a toothing 12 and 13 and are in engagement with a toothed wheel 14 with this toothing. which is rotatably mounted on the shaft 11 of the suspension hook 4.
  • the support arms 2, 3 are coupled to each other in such a way that they always move in the opposite direction and that the housing 1 and the suspension hook 4 is always in the middle between the ends of the support arms 2, 3.
  • a rack 15 is also guided in the housing 1 above one of the support arms, in the present case the right support arm 3.
  • a helical spring 16 sits on the rack 15 and is supported from the inside against the vertical side 7 of the housing 1 and against a stop 17 on the rack 15.
  • the stop 17 divides the rack 15 approximately in a ratio of 1: 2, the spring 16 sitting on the shorter part and the longer part on the side facing the shaft 11 or the gear 14 provided with the same toothing as the support arms 2 and 3 is.
  • the gearwheel 14 is freely rotatable on the shaft 11 of the suspension hook 4, but is prevented from widening axially on the shaft 11 by widenings 18, 19.
  • the suspension hook 4 on the other hand, is displaceable in the housing 1 in the axial direction of its shaft 11, an upward displacement being limited by the flattening 9 at the lower end of the shaft and a downward displacement being limited by the beginning of the bent region of the suspension hook 4.
  • the gear 14 seated on the shaft 11 inevitably makes an axial displacement of the suspension hook 4 and can thereby assume a lower and an upper position. In the lower position (FIGS. 2 and 6), the gearwheel 14 is only coupled to the two support arms 2, 3, while in its upper position (FIGS. 1 and 7) it is also additionally coupled to the rack 15.
  • the user holds the housing 1 with one hand and first presses the suspension hook 4 down with the other hand, so that the gear 14 is in its lower position, in which it only couples the two support arms 2 and 3. Then he moves the one arm 2 or 3 so far that the hanger has the desired span, this span being a few centimeters larger than the corresponding dimension of the item of clothing, for example the dimension of the skirt hem stretched in one direction (Fig. 4).
  • the gear 14 is then brought into its upper position, in which it couples the two support arms 2, 3 and the rack 15.
  • the clothes hanger is then inserted into the skirt hem, for which purpose the two support arms 2, 3 are pushed slightly against one another in the sense of shortening the span.
  • the rack 15 is also displaced and the spring 16 tensioned via the coupling produced by the gear wheel 14 (FIG. 5).
  • the ends of the support arms 2, 3 thereby stretch the garment with the force generated by the spring 16.
  • the characteristic of the spring force of the support arms 2, 3 can be set so that the garment is held gently.
  • Fig. 8 shows an embodiment in which the rack 15 is fixed in the housing 1. Due to the rigid arrangement of the rack 15 this opposes a rotation of the gear 14 a rigid resistance, so that the support arms 2, 3 rigidly maintain the set span and are neither compressible in the sense of an extension of the span nor expandable in the sense of increasing the span . Apart from the immovable arrangement of the rack 15, the embodiment shown in FIG. 8 is the same as that shown in FIGS. 1 to 7.
  • the ends of the support arms are angled downward at an angle of approximately 80 °.
  • clips can also be attached in addition to or instead of the windings.
  • the support arms, the housing and the suspension hook are made of steel.
  • the gear wheel can also be made of steel or plastic. With the appropriate shape, all components (housing, support arms, suspension hook, gear and compression spring) can of course also be made of plastic.
