Abstract

The washing line especially for hanging underpants has, in the middle of the hanging line (1) hooks (2), and on the outer end of both support lines (1a,b) there are shaped grippers (3). On the inner space (7) of the connection part (6) there is a guide bridge (8) which reduces the free space in the inner room. The collar (15) for the clamp of the underpants (14) is held in the right-angled longitudinal extension of the support one pillow. In the inner space of the connection part, an outer guide stairs is situated on the external guide stairs so that between this and the first inner guide stairs there is a 1-2mm clearance (21). The clearance between the inner guide stairs (8) and the external guide stairs (9) is small.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Wäschebügel, insbesondere zur Aufnahme von Unterhosen, Slips u.dgl. mit einem in der Mitte des Tragbügels angeordneten Traghaken und an den äußeren Enden der beiden Tragbügelhälften angeformten Klemmen, die sich zusammensetzen aus einem von einer Stegwand des im Querschnitt doppel-T-förmigen Tragbügels ausgesteiften Widerlagerteil und einer im wesentlichen nach unten gerichteten federnden Zunge, die über ein U-förmiges oder ¾" -ringförmiges Verbindungsteil mit dem Widerlagerteil verbunden ist, wobei das Verbindungsteil um mehr als 50%, vorzugsweise 100%, dicker ist als die Dicke des Untergurtes oder Obergurtes des Tragbügels und über einen Winkelbereich von mindestens 90° freiliegt und einen Krümmungsdurchmesser von mindestens 6 mm aufweist, (siehe DE-U-8 902 362).The invention relates to a laundry hanger, in particular for receiving Panties, briefs and the like with one arranged in the middle of the bracket Support hook and molded on the outer ends of the two support bracket halves Clamps that are made up of one of a web wall's cross section double T-shaped support bracket stiffened abutment part and one in essentially downward resilient tongue that has a U-shaped or ¾ "ring-shaped connecting part is connected to the abutment part, the Connection part is more than 50%, preferably 100%, thicker than the thickness of the lower flange or upper flange of the support bracket and over an angular range of exposed at least 90 ° and a curvature diameter of at least 6 mm has (see DE-U-8 902 362).

Damit einerseits die federnde Zunge relativ weit öffnen kann, andererseits aber auch eine genügend große Klemmkraft ausüben kann, ist das U-förmige oder ringförmige Verbindungsteil im Querschnitt erheblich größer als der Querschnitt des Obergurtes oder Untergurtes des doppel-T-förmigen Tragbügels. Durch die Materialanhäufung wird erreicht, daß beim Erkalten des im Spritzverfahren hergestellten Kunststoffbügels die federnde Zunge mit Vorspannung an ihrem Widerlager anliegt.So that the resilient tongue can open relatively wide on the one hand, but also on the other can exert a sufficiently large clamping force is the U-shaped or ring-shaped Cross-sectional connection part considerably larger than the cross-section of the top chord or lower flange of the double-T-shaped support bracket. Due to the material accumulation is achieved that when the plastic bracket manufactured in the injection molding process cools down the resilient tongue rests with prestress on its abutment.

Das U-förmige oder ringförmige Verbindungsteil hat einen relativ großen Krümmungsdurchmesser und liegt über einen Winkelbereich von mindestens 90° frei, so daß beim Öffnen der federnden Zunge in diesem Bereich das Verbindungsteil aufgebogen wird.The U-shaped or ring-shaped connecting part has a relatively large curvature diameter and is exposed over an angular range of at least 90 °, so that when you open the resilient tongue in this area, the connecting part is bent up.

Durch den relativ großen Krümmungsradius ist auch der freie Innenraum des Verbindungsteils relativ groß. Dies hat den Nachteil, daß ein in die federnden Klemmen eingeschobener Bund einer Unterhose oder eines Slips im oberen Bereich nicht ordentlich gehalten ist.Due to the relatively large radius of curvature, the free interior of the Connection part relatively large. This has the disadvantage that one in the resilient Clamp the inserted waistband of panties or briefs in the upper area is not kept properly.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, den eingangs beschriebenen Wäschebügel so zu gestalten, daß Unterhosen und Slips sehr akkurat im Wäschebügel gehalten werden. The invention has for its object the laundry hanger described above to be designed so that underpants and briefs are very accurate in the clothes hanger being held.

Dies wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch erreicht, daß im Innenraum des Verbindungsteils ein innerer Führungssteg angeordnet ist, der den Freiraum im Innenraum so reduziert, daß der Bund einer in die Klemmen eingeschobenen Unterhose im wesentlichen rechtwinklig zur Längserstreckung des Tragbügels gehalten ist.This is achieved according to the invention in that in the interior of the connecting part an inner guide bar is arranged, so the free space in the interior reduces the waistband of a pair of underpants inserted into the clamps in the is held substantially at right angles to the longitudinal extent of the bracket.

Vorteilhafterweise ist im Innenraum des Verbindungsteils auch ein äußerer Führungssteg angeordnet, der zwischen sich und dem inneren Führungssteg einen etwa 1 bis 2 mm breiten Spalt beläßt. Der innere Führungssteg sowie auch der äußere Führungssteg sind etwa 1 bis höchstens 2 mm dick und sind in der Mitte des etwa 5mm dicken Verbindungsteils angeordnet.Advantageously, there is also an outer guide web in the interior of the connecting part arranged, the one between itself and the inner guide web Leaves 1 to 2 mm wide gap. The inner guide bridge as well as the outer one Guide web are about 1 to a maximum of 2 mm thick and are in the middle of about 5mm thick connecting part arranged.

Der Spalt zwischen dem inneren Führungssteg und dem äußeren Führungssteg kann gerade verlaufen und im wesentlichen rechtwinklig zur Längserstreckung des Tragbügels. Dieser Spalt kann aber auch wellenförmig verlaufen oder in Form einer gerundeten Zick-Zack-Linie.The gap between the inner guide web and the outer guide web can run straight and substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of the Support bracket. This gap can also be wavy or in the form of a rounded zigzag line.

Das U-förmige oder in Form eines ¾-Rings geformte Verbindungsteil ist im oberen Teil des Tragbügels angeordnet. Etwa in gleicher Höhe befinden sich auf dem Tragbügel Klemmen, deren federnden Zungen zum Traghaken hin gerichtet sind. In diese Klemmen können die Träger von Büstenhaltern, Unterhemden u.dgl. eingeklemmt werden.The U-shaped or shaped in the form of a ¾-ring is in the upper Part of the bracket arranged. At about the same height are on the Support bracket clamps, the resilient tongues of which are directed towards the support hook. In these clips can be worn by bras, bras and the like. trapped become.
