Abstract

The hanger has two hanger parts, one on either side of a hanging hook (2). A strap of an item of washing is clamped in a gap (9) formed on the hanger part between a sprung tongue (5) pointing towards the hanger hook and the base of a depression (6) formed on the back (4) of the hanger at each end. A funnel-like opening (7) is formed by the tongue for insertion of the item. The fixed end of the tongue is attached at the base of the depression by a semi-circular arced connecting part (8). At the end of the clamping gap and the beginning of the enlargement (10) formed by the connecting part is a stop (11), which is perpendicular to the gap, and a hook (12), which projects into the enlargement, and is spaced from the inside of the connecting part.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Wäschebügel aus Kunststoff, mit zwei zu beiden Seiten eines Aufhängehakens sich erstreckenden Bügelteilen, auf deren Rücken je eine in einer Mulde befindliche, zum Aufhängehaken gerichtete federnde Zunge angeformt ist, die zwischen sich und dem Muldenboden einen Klemmspalt bildet und deren freies Ende nach oben gebogen ist und mit dem inneren Muldenende eine trichterartige Einführöffnung bildet zum Einführen eines Trägers eines Wäschestücks und deren festes Ende über ein bogenartiges, halbringförmiges Verbindungsteil in den Muldenboden übergeht, wobei das Verbindungsteil am Ende des Klemmspaltes eine Erweiterung bildet.The invention relates to a clothes hanger made of plastic, with two to two Sides of a suspension hook extending bracket parts, on the Spine one in a trough, directed towards the hanging hook resilient tongue is molded between itself and the trough bottom forms a clamping gap and the free end of which is bent upwards and with the inner trough end forms a funnel-like insertion opening Introducing a carrier of a piece of laundry and its fixed end over one arc-shaped, half-ring-shaped connecting part in the trough bottom passes, with the connecting part at the end of the clamping gap Extension forms.

Wäschebügel dieser Art sind bekannt aus dem deutschen Gebrauchsmuster G 89 02 362 und aus DE 4 113 664 A.Clothes hangers of this type are known from the German utility model G 89 02 362 and from DE 4 113 664 A.

Bei den aus G 89 02 362 bekannten Wäschebügeln besteht die Gefahr, daß beim schnellen Einführen der Träger eines Wäscheteils in die Klemmspalte die Träger bis in die Erweiterung am Ende der Klemmspalte durchrutschen und dort nicht mehr oder nur unzureichend gehalten werden. Schmale Träger, wie die sogenannten Spaghettiträger, rutschen beim schnellen Einführen in die Klemmspalte in den am Ende der Klemmspalte befindlichen größeren freien Raum, so daß sie dort nicht mehr festgeklemmt werden. Das Festklemmen der Träger ist aber wichtig, damit die Wäschestücke wie Unterröcke, Büstenhalter oder dergleichen, attraktiv am Wäschebügel befestigt werden können. Auch werden die Träger, meist doppelt genommen, von der Seite des Wäschebügels her in den Klemmspalt eingeführt, so daß die Wäscheteile allein aufgrund der Klemmkräfte der federnden Zunge am Wäschebügel gehalten sind.In the laundry hangers known from G 89 02 362 there is a risk that when quickly inserting the carrier of a laundry item into the nip the supports slide through to the extension at the end of the clamping gap and are no longer held there or only insufficiently. narrow Carriers, like the so-called spaghetti straps, slip when fast Insert into the nip in the one at the end of the nip larger free space so that they are no longer clamped there. The Clamping the carrier is important, however, so that the laundry items like Petticoats, bras or the like, attractive on the clothes hanger can be attached. The carriers are usually taken twice, inserted into the nip from the side of the laundry hanger, so that the laundry parts solely due to the clamping forces of the resilient tongue are held on the clothes hanger.

Bei breiten Trägern eines Wäscheteils besteht die Gefahr, daß beim schnellen Einführen der Träger in den Klemmspalt auch diese sich zumindest teilweise in den vergrößerten freien Raum am Ende des Klemmspaltes zusammenschieben und unansehnliche Falten bilden. With wide carriers of a laundry item there is a risk that the fast Introducing the carrier into the nip also at least partly in the enlarged free space at the end of the clamping gap push together and form unsightly folds.

Bei dem aus DE 4 113 664 A bekannten Wäschebügel werden zwar auch schmale Träger zuverlässig gehalten, weil bei diesem Wäschebügel an dem vom Aufhängehaken entfernten Ende der federnden Zunge ein zum Bügelende gerichteter Fortsatz angeformt ist, der mit kleinem Abstand von der Innenwand des bogen- oder ringartigen Verbindungsteils endet und den Klemmspalt bis zu dieser Innenwand verlängert.In the laundry hanger known from DE 4 113 664 A, narrow ones are also used Carrier held reliably because with this clothes hanger on the Hooks removed the end of the resilient tongue toward the end of the bracket directed extension is formed, which is a small distance from the inner wall of the arcuate or ring-like connecting part ends and the clamping gap extended up to this inner wall.

Bei diesem Wäschebügel besteht die Gefahr, daß beim Einführen mehrerer Träger oder eines dickeren Trägers die federnde Zunge im Bereich des bogenartigen oder halbringförmigen Verbindungsteils abbricht.With this clothes hanger there is a risk that when inserting several Carrier or a thicker carrier the resilient tongue in the area of breaks off arch-like or semi-ring-shaped connecting part.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen Wäschebügel zu schaffen, der bequem zu handhaben ist und bei dem sowohl schmale und dünne Träger von Bekleidungsstücken als auch breite oder dicke Träger leicht in die beiden auf dem Bügelrücken befindlichen Klemmen einführbar sind und zuverlässig im Klemmspalt der Klemmen gehalten sind.The object of the invention is to provide a clothes hanger that is convenient is to be handled and in which both narrow and thin carriers of Garments as well as wide or thick straps easily open in the two the clamps located clamps are insertable and reliable in Clamping gap of the clamps are held.

Diese Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß am Ende des Klemmspaltes und am Beginn der vom Verbindungsteil gebildeten Erweiterung ein im wesentlichen rechtwinklig zum Klemmspalt stehender Anschlag und ein in die Erweiterung hineinragender gebogener Haken angeformt ist, der von der Innenseite des Verbindungsteils einen Abstand einhält.This object is achieved in that at the end of Clamping gap and at the beginning of the extension formed by the connecting part a stop essentially perpendicular to the clamping gap and a bent hook protruding into the extension is formed, which maintains a distance from the inside of the connecting part.

Der Anschlag zeigt dem Benutzer an, wie weit ein Träger in die Klemme eingeführt ist. Ferner wird durch den Anschlag im Übergangsbereich zwischen Zunge und Verbindungsteil ein dreieckförmiger Freiraum gebildet, der ein weites Öffnen der Zunge ermöglicht, so daß auch sehr dicke Träger in den Klemmspalt eingeführt werden können, ohne daß die Gefahr besteht, daß die Zunge im Bereich des Verbindungsteils abbricht.The stop indicates to the user how far a carrier is in the clamp is introduced. Furthermore, the stop in the transition area a triangular free space is formed between the tongue and the connecting part, which allows a wide opening of the tongue, so that even very thick straps can be inserted into the clamping gap without the risk of that the tongue breaks off in the area of the connecting part.

Berücksichtigt man, daß das Festklemmen eines Wäschestückes auf dem erfindungsgemäßen Bügel kein präziser Montagevorgang ist, sondern mit wenigen schnellen Handgriffen erfolgen muß, so wird klar, daß das Festhalten des einmal eingeführten Trägers über den gesamten Bereich der Klemmvorrichtung ohne die Gefahr des Herausgleitens während des Transports oder der Benutzung auf den Verkaufsständern eines Kaufhauses entscheidend ist für die Brauchbarkeit eines derartigen Wäschebügels. Taking into account that the clamping of a piece of laundry on the bracket according to the invention is not a precise assembly process, but with must be done in a few quick steps, it becomes clear that holding on of the carrier once introduced over the entire area of Clamping device without the risk of slipping out during transport or use on the sales stands of a department store is decisive for the usability of such a clothes hanger.

Die Fig. 1 zeigt eine Ansicht eines Wäschebügels nach der Erfindung, der so ausgebildet ist, daß unterschiedliche Wäschestücke wie Büstenhalter, Unterröcke, Hosen, Slips, Hemden, T-Shirts und dergleichen, aufgehängt oder befestigt werden können.Fig. 1 shows a view of a laundry hanger according to the invention, so is designed that different items of laundry such as bras, Petticoats, pants, briefs, shirts, t-shirts and the like, hung up or can be attached.

Der aus Kunststoff im Spritzgußverfahren hergestellte Wäschebügel 1 hat einen Aufhängehaken 2, der einstückig mit den Bügelteilen 3 und 3' verbunden ist. Auf dem Rücken 4 der Bügelteile 3,3' ist je eine zum Aufhängehaken 2 weisende federnde Zunge 5 angeformt, die zwischen sich und dem Muldenboden 6 einen Klemmspalt 9 bildet und deren freies Ende nach oben gebogen ist und mit dem inneren Ende der Mulde eine trichterartige Einführöffnung 7 bildet zum Einführen eines Trägers eines Wäscheteils. Das feste Ende der federnden Zunge 5 geht über ein bogen- oder halbringförmiges Verbindungsteil 8 in den Bügelrücken beziehungsweise in den Muldenboden 6 über. Durch dieses Verbindungsteil 8 wird hinter dem Klemmspalt 9 eine Erweiterung 10 gebildet.The laundry hanger 1 made of plastic by injection molding has a suspension hook 2, which is integrally connected to the bracket parts 3 and 3 ' is. On the back 4 of the bracket parts 3, 3 'there is one each for the suspension hook 2 pointing resilient tongue 5 formed between itself and the Trough bottom 6 forms a clamping gap 9 and its free end upwards is bent and with the inner end of the trough a funnel-like insertion opening 7 forms for inserting a carrier of a laundry item. The fixed end of the resilient tongue 5 goes over an arcuate or semi-annular Connecting part 8 in the back of the bracket or in the trough bottom 6 over. Through this connecting part 8 is behind the nip 9th an extension 10 is formed.

Im Klemmspalt 9 verlaufen die federnde Zunge 5 und der Muldenboden 6 gerade und parallel zueinander. Das ringförmige oder bogenförmige Verbindungsteil 8 liegt zum größeren Teil frei und ist so ausgebildet, daß die Zunge 5 mit Vorspannung auf dem Muldenboden 6 anliegt, so daß in dem Klemmspalt 9 auch extrem dünne Träger sicher gehalten werden.The resilient tongue 5 and the trough bottom 6 run in the clamping gap 9 straight and parallel to each other. The ring-shaped or arc-shaped connecting part 8 is largely exposed and is designed so that the Tongue 5 rests with pre-tension on the trough bottom 6, so that in the Clamping gap 9, even extremely thin supports can be held securely.

Dadurch, daß unmittelbar vor der vom bogenförmigen Verbindungsteil 8 gebildeten Erweiterung 10 ein im wesentlichen rechtwinklig zum Klemmspalt 9 stehender Anschlag 11 angeordnet ist, bildet sich vor diesem Anschlag 11 - im Übergangsbereich zwischen federnder Zunge 5 und Verbindungsteil 8 - ein dreieckförmiger Freiraum 16, der es ermöglicht, daß bis zum Anschlag 11 auch dicke Träger in den Klemmspalt 9 eingeschoben werden können, ohne daß die Gefahr besteht, daß die Zungen 5 abbrechen.The fact that immediately before the arcuate connecting part 8th extension 10 formed a substantially perpendicular to the nip 9 standing stop 11 is arranged, forms before this stop 11 - in the transition area between the resilient tongue 5 and the connecting part 8 - a triangular free space 16, which allows that up for the stop 11 also thick supports are inserted into the clamping gap 9 can be without the risk that the tongues 5 break off.

Die vom Verbindungsteil gebildete kreisförmige Erweiterung 10 ist teilweise durch einen vom Anschlag 11 ausgehenden bogenförmigen Haken 12 eingeengt. Die Krümmung des Hakens 12 ist derart, daß seine Außenfläche von der Innenfläche des Verbindungsteils 8 einen Abstand von 1 bis 1,5 mm einhält. Das Verbindungsteil 8 hat einen Innendurchmesser von 4 bis 5 mm.The circular extension 10 formed by the connecting part is partial by an arcuate hook 12 extending from the stop 11 concentrated. The curvature of the hook 12 is such that its outer surface from the inner surface of the connecting part 8 a distance of 1 to 1.5 mm comply. The connecting part 8 has an inner diameter of 4 to 5 mm.

Die federnde Zunge 5 und das Verbindungsteil 8 sind in einer Mulde des Bügelrückens angeordnet. Diese Ausbildung des Wäschebügels hat den Vorteil, daß auch Hemden oder Blusen auf den Wäschebügel aufgehängt werden können, ohne daß der Schulterverlauf durch die federnde Zunge 5 gestört würde. Wie die linke Seite der Fig. 1 zeigt, sind am Verbindungsteil 8 Schulteransätze 23 angeformt, die tangential in das Verbindungsteil 8 einmünden und etwa in der Flucht der höher liegenden Bereiche des Bügelrückens liegen.The resilient tongue 5 and the connecting part 8 are in a trough Arranged back of the temple. This training of the clothes hanger has the Advantage that shirts or blouses are hung on the clothes hanger can be without the shoulder course through the resilient tongue 5th would be disturbed. As the left side of Fig. 1 shows, are on the connecting part 8 shoulder lugs 23 formed, which tangentially into the connecting part 8th open out and approximately in the alignment of the higher areas of the temple back lie.

Die dargestellten Wäschebügel haben einen doppel-T-förmigen Querschnitt und weisen eine vertikale Stegwand 13, einen Obergurt 14 und einen Untergurt 15 auf. An den Bügelenden sind Klemmen 18 angeordnet, deren Klemmspalte 19 nach unten und außen gerichtet sind. In diese Klemmspalte können Bunde von Unterhosen, Slips oder dergleichen eingeführt werden.The laundry hangers shown have a double T-shaped cross section and have a vertical web wall 13, an upper flange 14 and one Lower chord 15 on. At the temple ends are clamps 18, the Clamping gaps 19 are directed downwards and outwards. In this nip can be introduced bundles of panties, briefs or the like.

Der Bügelrücken 4 sowie der Muldenboden 6 werden vom Obergurt 14 gebildet, und dieser Obergurt 14 bildet mit den federnden Zungen 5 die Klemmvorrichtung für die Träger eines Wäschestücks.The bow back 4 and the trough bottom 6 are from the top chord 14 formed, and this top flange 14 forms with the resilient tongues 5 the Clamping device for the carrier of a piece of laundry.

Die Klemmvorrichtung 18 an den Bügelenden besteht aus einer federnden Zunge 20 und einem starren Widerlagerteil 22. Die Zunge 20 ist über ein zum größeren Teil freiliegendes ring- oder bogenförmiges Verbindungsteil 21 mit dem starren Widerlagerteil 22 verbunden und liegt mit Vorspannung am Widerlagerteil 22 an. Der Querschnitt des Verbindungsteils 21 ist derart, daß durch den beim Erkalten stattfindenden Schrumpfvorgang der durch die Spritzform bedingte Spalt zwischen der Zunge 20 und dem Widerlagerteil 22 geschlossen wird und die Zunge 20 mit Vorspannung auf dem Höcker des Widerlagerteils 22 anliegt. Falls erwünscht, kann in gleicher Weise auch das Verbindungsteil 8 der federnden Zunge 5 ausgebildet sein.The clamping device 18 at the temple ends consists of a resilient Tongue 20 and a rigid abutment part 22. The tongue 20 is over a Larger part of the ring or arch-shaped connecting part is exposed 21 connected to the rigid abutment part 22 and is preloaded on the abutment part 22. The cross section of the connecting part 21 is such that the shrinking process taking place when cooling due to the injection mold gap between the tongue 20 and the Abutment part 22 is closed and the tongue 20 with bias the hump of the abutment part 22 abuts. If desired, in in the same way, the connecting part 8 of the resilient tongue 5 is formed his.
