Abstract

At the upper end of the support arms (4) a holding member (5) is arranged, the shape of which corresponds to that of the inside of the shaft of a shoe pushed over the holding member. The support arms at least in the longitudinal direction are elastically deformable and at their lower end each have support component (6) for location from the inside against the heel area of an accommodated shoe. In the untensioned state of a support arm the distance between the lower end of the support component and the upper end of the holding member is greater than the length of the shoe to be accommodated. The support arms are joined to each other via a cross rib and with the central member (2).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Schuhträger mit einem Tragteil, insbesondere einem Traghaken, einem sich an diesen nach unten anschließenden Mittelglied und zwei an diesem befestigten, sich im Abstand vom Mittelglied im wesentlichen nach oben erstreckenden Tragarmen, an deren oberen Ende je ein Halteglied angeordnet ist, dessen Form im wesentlichen der Form der Innenseite des Schafts eines über das Halteglied stülpbaren Schuhs entspricht.The invention relates to a shoe rack with a support part, in particular a support hook, a center link adjoining this downward and two support arms attached to it, extending essentially upwards at a distance from the center link, at the upper end of which a holding member is arranged, the Shape corresponds essentially to the shape of the inside of the shaft of a shoe which can be put over the holding member.

Schuhträger zur Aufnahme eines Schuhpaars, welche zur Präsentation, Lagerung oder zum Transport nach Art eines Bügels aufhängbar sind, wurden in der Vergangenheit vielfach beschrieben und sind beispielsweise aus der EP 0 598 325 und dem darin genannten Stand der Technik bekannt. In den meisten Fällen ist der Schuhträger aus einem mehrere Millimeter dicken Draht gebogen. Am oberen Ende der Tragarme verläuft der Draht meist abgerundet, so daß er keine scharfen Kanten aufweist, welche den über dieses obere Ende stülpbaren Schuh beschädigen können. Aus der US-PS 1,310,281 ist ein Schuhträger bekannt, der an den oberen Enden der Tragarme je ein Halteglied aufweist, welches gerundet und gewölbt verlauft. Die Form dieses Haltegliedes entspricht im wesentlichen der Form der Innenseite des Schuhschafts, das heißt desjenigen Bereichs des Schuhs, der zum Umfassen der Zehen vorgesehen ist. Auf diese Weise wird der Schaft der auf das Halteglied gestulpten Schuhe in Form gehalten.Shoe carriers for holding a pair of shoes, which can be suspended for presentation, storage or transport in the manner of a hanger, have been described many times in the past and are known, for example, from EP 0 598 325 and the prior art mentioned therein. In most cases, the shoe rack is bent from a wire several millimeters thick. At the upper end of the support arms, the wire is usually rounded, so that it has no sharp edges, which can damage the shoe that can be put over this upper end. From US-PS 1,310,281 a shoe carrier is known which has a holding member at the upper ends of the support arms, which is rounded and arched. The shape of this holding element corresponds essentially to the shape of the inside of the shoe upper, that is to say that area of the shoe which is provided for gripping the toes. In this way, the upper of the shoes placed on the holding member is held in shape.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, die bekannten Schuhträger derart weiterzubilden daß der darauf angebrachte Schuh möglichst sicher gehalten wird.The object of the invention is to develop the known shoe carriers in such a way that the shoe attached to them is held as securely as possible.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Tragarme zumindest in Längsrichtung elastisch verformbar sind und an ihrem unteren Ende je ein von innen gegen den Fersenbereich des aufzunehmenden Schuhs anlegbares Stützelement aufweisen, wobei im entspannten Zustand eines Tragarms der Abstand zwischen dein unteren Ende des Stützelements und dem oberen Ende des Halteglieds größer ist als die Länge des aufzunehmenden Schuhs.This object is achieved in that the support arms are elastically deformable at least in the longitudinal direction and at their lower End each have a support element that can be placed against the heel region of the shoe to be picked up, the distance between the lower end of the support element and the upper end of the holding member being greater than the length of the shoe to be picked up in the relaxed state of a support arm.

Durch die elastisch verformbaren, vorzugsweise verbiegbaren Tragarme und das Stutzelement am freien Tragarmende wird der erfindungsgemäße Schuhträger sozusagen als Doppel-Schuhspanner ausgebildet. Auf jeder Seite des Mittelglieds kann ein Schuh mit seinem Schaft über das Halteglied gestülpt werden, anschließend der Tragarm elastisch verformt oder verbogen werden, damit das Stützelement an seinem freien Ende, welches in entspanntem Zustand des Tragarms über den Fersenbereich des Schuhs hinausragt, von innen gegen diesen Fersenbereich anlegbar ist. Nach dem Loslassen des Tragarms ist der Schuh sicher zwischen dein Halteglied und dem Stützelement eingespannt und kann sich kaum ungewollt von dein Schuhträger losen oder bei versehentlichem Anstoßen herunterfallen. Darüber hinaus hält der erfindungsgemäße Schuhträger wie ein Schuhspanner die daraufgehängten Schuhe in ihrer ursprünglichen Form.Due to the elastically deformable, preferably bendable support arms and the support element at the free end of the support arm, the shoe carrier according to the invention is, so to speak, designed as a double shoe tree. On each side of the middle link, a shoe can be slipped over the holding link with its shaft, then the support arm can be elastically deformed or bent so that the support element protrudes from the inside at its free end, which in the relaxed state of the support arm projects beyond the heel area of the shoe this heel area can be put on. After letting go of the support arm, the shoe is securely clamped between your holding member and the support element and can hardly accidentally come loose from your shoe carrier or fall off if accidentally bumped into it. In addition, the shoe carrier according to the invention, like a shoe tree, holds the shoes hung thereon in their original shape.

Ein Quersteg bildet vorzugsweise das Bindeglied zwischen dem Mittelglied und den Tragarmen des Schuhträgers. Vorteilhafterweise liegen Quersteg und Tragarme in entspanntem Zustand im wesentlichen in der gleichen Ebene. Das Stutzelement und das Halteelement ragen in eine Richtung aus dieser Ebene heraus. Das Mittelglied verläuft, ausgehend von dem Mittelsteg, schräg aus der Ebene der Tragarme heraus, wobei es in die gleiche Richtung wie Stützelement und Halteglied aus der Tragarm-Ebene herausragt. Jeder Tragarm mit Halteglied und Stützelement bildet dann einen herkömmlichen elastisch biegbaren Schuhspanner. In der Richtung, in der Halteglied und Stützelement aus der Ebene der Tragarme herausragen, erstreckt sich anschließend auch der auf dem Schuhträger angeordnete Schuh. Das Mittelglied, an dessen oberem Ende das Tragteil bzw. der Traghaken befestigt ist, verlauft ebenfalls in diese Richtung aus der Ebene der Tragarme heraus. So ist gewährleistet, daß der Schwerpunkt der auf dem Schuhträger angeordneten Schuhe im wesentlichen in Verlängerung unterhalb des Tragteils oder Traghakens liegt, so daß die von dem Schuhträger getragenen Schuhe im wesentlichen gerade hängen.A crossbar preferably forms the link between the middle link and the support arms of the shoe wearer. In the relaxed state, the crossbar and support arms advantageously lie essentially in the same plane. The support element and the holding element protrude in one direction from this plane. The central link, starting from the central web, extends obliquely out of the plane of the support arms, projecting in the same direction as the support element and the support member from the support arm level. Each support arm with holding member and support element then forms a conventional, elastically bendable shoe tree. The shoe arranged on the shoe carrier then also extends in the direction in which the holding member and support element protrude from the plane of the support arms. The middle link, at the upper end of the supporting part or Support hook is attached, also runs in this direction out of the plane of the support arms. This ensures that the center of gravity of the shoes arranged on the shoe carrier lies essentially in an extension below the supporting part or hook, so that the shoes worn by the shoe carrier hang substantially straight.

Die Stützelemente können als gebogene, elastische Stützlaschen ausgebildet sein Hierdurch kann der Gesamtverformungswiderstand der beiden Spanneinheiten des Schuhträgers herabgesetzt werden, so daß ein Aufschieben des Schuhs auf das Halteglied und ein Verformen des Tragarms und Einschieben des Stutzelements in den Fersenbereich erleichtert wird.The support elements can be designed as curved, elastic support straps. As a result, the overall deformation resistance of the two tensioning units of the shoe wearer can be reduced, so that pushing the shoe onto the holding member and deforming the support arm and pushing the support element into the heel area is facilitated.

Vorzugsweise ragt der Traghaken nach oben über die Halteglieder hinaus, damit der Haken leicht zugänglich und einfach aufhängbar ist. Damit der Traghaken nicht permanent über die Spitzen der auf dem Schuhträger angeordneten Schuhe hinausragt, kann zwischen dem Traghaken und dem Mittelglied ein Knickbereich angeordnet werden, der ein Umknicken des Traghakens ermöglicht. Der Traghaken kann so in den Bereich zwischen den beiden Tragarmen geknickt werden und ragt nicht mehr störend über die Schuhspitzen hinaus, wenn die Schuhe beispielweise in einen Schuhkarton gepackt werden.The support hook preferably protrudes upward beyond the holding members so that the hook is easily accessible and can be easily suspended. So that the support hook does not permanently protrude beyond the tips of the shoes arranged on the shoe carrier, a kink area can be arranged between the support hook and the central link, which enables the support hook to fold. The support hook can thus be bent in the area between the two support arms and no longer protrudes beyond the tips of the shoes when the shoes are packed in a shoe box, for example.

In Verlängerung des die beiden Tragarme tragenden Mittelglieds kann ein Distanzglied vorgesehen sein, welches über die Stützelemente hinausragt. Dieses Distanzglied schützt den Fersenbereich der auf dem Schuhträger angeordneten Schuhe, da es über diesen hinausragt. Wenn beispielsweise der Schuhträger mit darauf angeordneten Schuhen herunterfällt, trifft zuerst das Distanzglied auf dem Boden auf, und die Schuhfersen werden nicht beschädigt.In the extension of the middle member carrying the two support arms, a spacer can be provided which projects beyond the support elements. This spacer protects the heel area of the shoes arranged on the shoe carrier, since it projects beyond it. For example, if the shoe carrier falls with shoes placed on it, the spacer hits the floor first and the shoe heels are not damaged.

Ein besonderes Merkmal der vorliegenden Erfindung, welches es ermöglicht, den Schuhträger möglichst kostengünstig als Massenware herzustellen, besteht darin, daß der Schuhträger einstückig aus elastischem Kunststoffmaterial im Spritzgußverfahren gefertigt ist. Auf diese Weise lassen dich sämtliche funktionellen Bereiche, das heißt der Traghaken, der Biegebereich, das Mittelglied, der Quersteg, die Tragarme, die Halteglieder, die Stützelemente sowie die Distanzglieder aus einem einheitlichen, kostengünstigen Werkstoff in einem Arbeitsgang fertigen. Die starren, wenig elastischen Elemente können dabei durch Seitenflansche oder Verstärkungsrippen verstärkt werden. Die Elastizität der elastisch biegbaren Bereiche, das heißt der Tragarme, der Stutzelemente und des Knickbereichs kann durch Variation der Materialstarke und der Breite der gegebenenfalls vorhandenen Seitenflansche beliebig angepaßt werden.A special feature of the present invention, which enables the shoe carrier to be mass-produced as inexpensively as possible, consists in that the shoe carrier is made in one piece from elastic plastic material by injection molding. In this way, you can manufacture all functional areas, i.e. the support hook, the bending area, the middle link, the crossbar, the support arms, the holding links, the support elements and the spacers from a uniform, inexpensive material in one operation. The rigid, less elastic elements can be reinforced by side flanges or reinforcing ribs. The elasticity of the elastically bendable areas, that is to say the support arms, the support elements and the kink area, can be adapted as desired by varying the material thickness and the width of the side flanges which may be present.

Der in Fig. 1 bis 4 dargestellte Schuhträger besteht aus einem Traghaken 1, an den sich nach unten ein Mittelglied 2 anschließt. Die Richtungsangaben "oben" und "unten" beziehen sich lediglich auf den Fall, in dem der Schuhträger an seinem Tragteil aufgehängt ist. In einer anderen Lage ändern sich diese Richtungen natürlich entsprechend. Das untere Ende des Mittelglieds 2 ist fest mit einem Quersteg 3 verbunden. In den seitlichen Bereichen geht der Quersteg 3 jeweils in einen Tragarm 4 über.The shoe carrier shown in Fig. 1 to 4 consists of a support hook 1, which is followed by a middle member 2 below. The directions "above" and "below" only refer to the case in which the shoe carrier is suspended from its supporting part. In a different situation, of course, these directions change accordingly. The lower end of the middle link 2 is firmly connected to a crossbar 3. In the lateral areas, the cross piece 3 merges into a support arm 4.

An das obere Ende jedes Tragarms 4 schließt sich ein Halteglied 5 an. Am unteren Ende geht der Tragarm 4 in ein Stutzelement 6 über.A holding member 5 connects to the upper end of each support arm 4. At the lower end, the support arm 4 merges into a support element 6.

In Verlangerung des Mittelglieds 2 ist auf der anderen Seite des Querstegs 3 ein Distanzglied 7 angeordnet.In extension of the middle link 2, a spacer 7 is arranged on the other side of the crossbar 3.

Alle Elemente des Schuhträgers sind in einem Spritzvorgang aus einem homogenen Kunststoffmaterial spritzgegossen. Die für die unterschiedlichen Funktionen der Elemente des Schuhträgers notwendigen, unterschiedlichen Verformungswiderstände werden durch Variation der Wandstärke sowie durch Verstärkungsflansche oder -rippen erreicht. Die Halteglieder 5 haben aufgrund ihrer gewölbten Form einen recht hohen Verformungswiderstand. Der Verformungswiderstand des länglichen Mittelglieds 2 sowie des Traghakens 1 wird durch breite Seitenflansche 8 erhöht. Auch der Quersteg 3 ist mit relativ dicken Seitenflanschen 8 versehen. Da der Quersteg 3 nicht nur auf Zug, sondern auch auf Biegung beansprucht ist, weist er zusätzlich Verstärkungsrippen 9 auf. Der Tragarm 4, der elastisch verbiegbar sein muß, weist nur relativ schmale Seitenflansche 10 auf, die sich wie bei einem C-Profil nur zur einen Seite des Mittelstegs 11 des Tragarms 4 erstrecken. Das gebogene Stutzelement 6 weist schließlich sehr dünne Seitenflansche auf, so daß es leicht elastisch verbiegbar ist. Im Knickbereich 12 zwischen Traghaken 1 und Mittelglied 2 sind die Seitenflansche 8 vollständig unterbrochen, so daß der Knickbereich 12 leicht verformbar ist. Die Seitenflansche 8, 10, Verstärkungsrippen 9 und Mittelstege 11 sind nur in Fig. 4 mit Bezugszeichen versehen.All elements of the shoe rack are injection molded from a homogeneous plastic material in one injection molding process. The different deformation resistances necessary for the different functions of the elements of the shoe wearer are achieved by varying the wall thickness and by means of reinforcing flanges or ribs. The holding members 5 have a very high resistance to deformation due to their curved shape. The resistance to deformation of the elongated central member 2 and the support hook 1 is increased by wide side flanges 8. The crossbar 3 is also provided with relatively thick side flanges 8. Since the crossbar 3 is not only subjected to tension, but also to bending, it additionally has reinforcing ribs 9. The support arm 4, which must be elastically bendable, has only relatively narrow side flanges 10 which, as in the case of a C-profile, only extend to one side of the central web 11 of the support arm 4. The curved support element 6 finally has very thin side flanges, so that it is slightly elastically bendable. In the kink area 12 between the support hook 1 and the middle link 2, the side flanges 8 are completely interrupted, so that the kink area 12 is easily deformable. The side flanges 8, 10, reinforcing ribs 9 and center webs 11 are provided with reference numerals only in FIG. 4.

Je ein Tragarm 4 mit Halteglied 5 und Stützelement 6 bildet eine als Schuhspanner wirkende Spanneinheit. Die beiden Spanneinheiten 4, 5, 6 sind über den Quersteg 3 miteinander verbunden.Each support arm 4 with holding member 5 and support element 6 forms a tension unit acting as a shoe tree. The two clamping units 4, 5, 6 are connected to one another via the crosspiece 3.

Zur Befestigung eines Schuhs auf einer Spanneinheit des erfindungsgemäßen Schuhträgers ist das Halteglied 5 in den Schaftbereich (Zehenbereich) des Schuhs einzuführen. Anschließend wird der Tragarm 4 elastisch verformt, indem entweder gegen das Stutzelement 6 eine zum Halteglied 5 hinweisende Druckkraft ausgeübt oder der Tragarm 4 um eine im wesentlichen parallel zum Quersteg 3 verlaufende Achse verbogen wird. Das Stützelement 6 kann dann in den Fersenbereich des Schuhs eingeführt werden. Beim Loslassen des Tragarms 4 entspannt sich dieser elastisch, bis das Stützelement 6 fest gegen den Fersenbereich des Schuhs gedrückt wird und der Schuh in Längsrichtung zwischen Halteglied 5 und Stutzelement 6 eingespannt ist. Auf die gleiche Weise wird ein zweiter Schuh auf der anderen Spanneinheit befestigt.To fasten a shoe on a tensioning unit of the shoe carrier according to the invention, the holding member 5 is to be inserted into the shaft area (toe area) of the shoe. The support arm 4 is then elastically deformed by either exerting a compressive force pointing toward the holding member 5 against the support element 6 or the support arm 4 by an essentially parallel one the transverse axis 3 extending axis is bent. The support element 6 can then be inserted into the heel area of the shoe. When the support arm 4 is released, it relaxes elastically until the support element 6 is pressed firmly against the heel region of the shoe and the shoe is clamped in the longitudinal direction between the holding member 5 and the support element 6. In the same way, a second shoe is attached to the other clamping unit.

Der Schwerpunkt eines Schuhpaars, welches an dem Schuhträger befestigt ist, befindet sich außerhalb der Hauptebene der Tragarme 4. Stellt man sich beipielsweise in Fig. 1 die Erstreckung des auf den Schuhträger aufgespannten Schuhs vor, so ist ersichtlich, daß der Schwerpunkt des Schuhpaares rechts von der Tragarm-Ebene liegen muß. Damit das auf dem Schuhträger angeordnete Paar gerade hängt, wenn der Traghaken 1 auf eine Tragstange gehängt wird, erstreckt sich das Mittelglied 2 schräg zur Hauptebene der Tragarme 4. Wie insbesondere in Fig. 1 erkennbar, verläuft es von dem Quersteg 3 schräg in der Richtung aus der Tragarm-Ebene heraus, in der sich auch die Halteglieder 5 und die Stützelemente 6 erstrecken.The center of gravity of a pair of shoes, which is fastened to the shoe carrier, is located outside the main plane of the support arms 4. If, for example, in Fig. 1 the extension of the shoe clamped on the shoe carrier is seen, it can be seen that the center of gravity of the pair of shoes is to the right of the support arm level must lie. So that the pair arranged on the shoe rack hangs straight when the support hook 1 is hung on a support rod, the middle member 2 extends obliquely to the main plane of the support arms 4. As can be seen in particular in FIG. 1, it runs obliquely in the direction from the crossbar 3 out of the support arm level, in which the holding members 5 and the support elements 6 also extend.

Wie erwähnt, ist der Knickbereich 12 zwischen Traghaken 1 und Mittelglied 2 leicht biegbar. So kann der Traghaken 1 umgebogen werden, bis er zwischen den Tragarmen 4 des Schuhträgers liegt, z.B. wenn er beim Verpacken eines Schuhpaars zusammen mit dem Schuhträger in einem Karton stört.As mentioned, the kink area 12 between the support hook 1 and the middle link 2 is easily bendable. Thus, the support hook 1 can be bent over until it lies between the support arms 4 of the shoe wearer, e.g. if it bothers when packing a pair of shoes together with the shoe rack in a box.
