Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Aufhängebügel aus Kunststoff für Wäschestücke, insbesondere Dessous, gemäß Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a hanging bracket made of plastic for laundry items, in particular Lingerie, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Aus der GB-A 2 269 315 ist ein derartiger Aufhängebügel aus Kunststoff bekannt, der ein stabförmiges, elastisches Trägerteil aufweist, in dessen Mitte ein Haken nach oben und an dessen Enden zungenförmige Halteelemente nach unten abstehen. Das stabförmige Trägerteil ist in der Ebene, in der sich der Haken und die Halteelemente befinden, biegesteif ausgeführt. Es ist zur Seite gebogen oder geknickt ausgebildet. Ein angehängtes Wäschestück erhält dadurch eine gewölbte Form, die dem Wäschestück ein ansprechendes, fülliges Aussehen gibt, welches den Kaufreiz fördern soll.From GB-A 2 269 315 such a suspension bracket made of plastic is known has a rod-shaped, elastic support part, in the middle of a hook upwards and at the ends of tongue-shaped holding elements protrude downwards. The rod-shaped support part is in the plane in which the hook and the holding elements are rigid. It is curved or bent to the side. This gives an attached item of laundry an arched shape that corresponds to the Garment gives an appealing, voluminous look, which promote the buying stimulus should.

Aus der GB-A 1 514 978 ist ein Aufhängebügel bekannt, dessen stabförmiges Trägerteil nach oben in Richtung eines in der Mitte des Trägerteils angeordneten Hakens gebogen ist. From GB-A 1 514 978 a suspension bracket is known, the rod-shaped support part bent upwards in the direction of a hook arranged in the middle of the carrier part is.

Aus der EP-A-0 390 266 ist ein Aufhängebügel bekannt mit einem stabförmigen, nach oben biegbaren Trägerteil, an dem mittels zweier Arme ein Haken angebracht ist.From EP-A-0 390 266 a suspension bracket is known with a rod-shaped, according to bendable support part on which a hook is attached by means of two arms.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Aufhängebügel zu schaffen, der ein abrutschsicheres und optisch ansprechendes Aufhängen von in Größe und Form unterschiedlicher Wäschestücke ermöglicht.The invention has for its object to provide a hanger that a Non-slip and visually appealing hanging of different sizes and shapes Allows laundry items.

Erfindungsgemäß wird dies durch die Merkmale des Anspruches 1 erreicht.According to the invention this is achieved by the features of claim 1.

Durch die biegbare und elastische Ausbildung des Trägerteils kann durch Einbiegen der beiden Enden das Trägerteil verkürzt werden. Über das Trägerteil können somit Wäschestücke unterschiedlicher Größe gestülpt werden. Durch Auffedern des Trägerteiles paßt sich dieser jeder Größe des Wäschestückes an und verspannt dieses soweit, daß eine abrutschsichere Aufhängung erreicht ist. Um eine Beschädigung des Wäschestückes zu vermeiden, sind an den beiden Enden Halteelemente mit einer gewölbten Außenkontur angeformt. Due to the bendable and elastic design of the carrier part can be by bending the both ends of the support part can be shortened. About the carrier part can thus Items of different sizes can be put on. By springing open the carrier part adapts to any size of the item of laundry and tensions it so far, that a slip-proof suspension is reached. To damage the To avoid items of laundry are holding elements with a curved at both ends Outer contour molded.

Als zweckmäßige Ausgestaltung kann an den beiden Enden des Trägerteiles ein sich über die gewölbte Außenkontur der Halteelemente erstreckender Federbügel angeformt sein. Mit diesem Federbügel können größere Wäschestücke, bei denen die Trägerteile des Aufhängebügels keine ausreichende Spannkraft bewirken, durch Einklemmen gehalten werden.As an expedient embodiment, a can at the two ends of the carrier part Shaped spring bracket formed over the curved outer contour of the holding elements his. With this spring clip, larger items of laundry, in which the carrier parts the suspension bracket does not produce sufficient tension, held by clamping become.

Zur Verbesserung der Rutschfestigkeit kann die gewölbte Außenkontur der Halteelemente noch zusätzlich mit Noppen versehen sein.To improve the slip resistance, the curved outer contour of the holding elements be additionally provided with knobs.

Um den Aufhängebügel auch für Wäschestücke mit Trägern verwenden zu können, sind zusätzlich zu den Halteelementen an den beiden Enden des Trägerteiles sich in Richtung des Hakens erstreckende Zungen zur Bildung einer Klammer angeformt.In order to be able to use the hanging bracket for laundry items with carriers, are in addition to the holding elements at the two ends of the support part Formed tongues extending in the direction of the hook to form a clip.

Vorteilhafterweise kann das Trägerteil einen quader- bzw. rechteckförmigen Querschnitt aufweisen. Damit ergibt sich eine in der Ebene des Hakens liegende Biegerichtung.The carrier part can advantageously have a cuboid or rectangular cross section exhibit. This results in a bending direction lying in the plane of the hook.

Eine günstige Stapelbarkeit des Aufhängebügels wird dadurch erreicht, daß der gesamte Aufhängebügel zumindest im Bereich seiner Außenkontur eine gleiche Dicke aufweist.A favorable stackability of the suspension bracket is achieved in that the entire Suspension bracket at least in the area of its outer contour of the same thickness having.

In der Zeichnung sind Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung dargestellt.Exemplary embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawing.

Es zeigen:

Figur 1
einen Aufhängebügel mit scheibenförmigen Halteelementen und
Figur 2
einen Aufhängebügel mit einer Klemmeinrichtung an den Halteelementen.
Show it:
Figure 1
a hanger with disc-shaped holding elements and
Figure 2
a suspension bracket with a clamping device on the holding elements.

Der Aufhängebügel 1 nach Figur 1 besteht aus dem Trägerteil 2 und dem mittig angeordneten Haken 3. An den beiden Enden des Trägerteiles 2 sind scheibenförmige Halteelemente 4 mit einer gewölbten Außenkontur 5 angeformt. Die gewölbte Außenkontur 5 erstreckt sich von der Oberseite 6 des Trägerteiles 2 ausgehend etwa über einen Mittelpunktswinkel α von 270 Grad. Ferner ist die gewölbte Außenkontur 5 mit Noppen 7 versehen. The suspension bracket 1 according to Figure 1 consists of the support part 2 and the centrally arranged Hook 3. At the two ends of the carrier part 2 are disc-shaped Holding elements 4 are formed with a curved outer contour 5. The curved outer contour 5 extends approximately from the top 6 of the carrier part 2 a center angle α of 270 degrees. Furthermore, the curved outer contour 5 is included Provide nubs 7.

Von den beiden Enden des Trägerteiles 2 erstreckt sich jeweils eine Zunge 8 in Richtung des Hakens 3, so daß eine zusätzliche Klammer zum Aufhängen von Wäschestücken mit Trägern entsteht. Der Aufhängebügel 1 weist zumindest an seiner gesamten Außenkontur eine gleichbleibende Dicke auf, so daß die Aufhängebügel aufeinander stapelbar sind. Zur Materialeinsparung sind im Bereich des Hakens 3 und der Halteelemente 4 von beiden Seiten Ausnehmungen 9 vorgesehen. Durch einen quader- bzw. rechteckförmigen Querschnitt des Trägerteils 2 wird eine Biegerichtung in der Ebene des Hakens 3 erreicht.A tongue 8 extends from the two ends of the carrier part 2 in the direction of the hook 3, so that an additional bracket for hanging laundry with straps arises. The suspension bracket 1 has at least all of it Outer contour on a constant thickness, so that the suspension bracket on top of each other are stackable.
