Description

Kleiderbügel hanger
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Kleiderbügel mit einem Haken und zwei von diesem wegragenden Armen.The invention relates to a hanger with a hook and two arms protruding therefrom.
Der Erfinder hat sich die Aufgabe gestellt, einen Kleiderbü- gel zu schaffen, der die Form der Kleidungsstücke erhält und der dennoch sehr kostengünstig herstellbar ist.The inventor has set himself the task of creating a clothes hanger that maintains the shape of the items of clothing and is nevertheless very inexpensive to manufacture.
Die Aufgabe ist bei einem gattungsgemässen Kleiderbügel dadurch gelöst, dass die Arme durch jeweils einen Flaschenbe- hälter gebildet sind. Insbesondere Trinkflaschenbehälter weisen im wesentlichen eine zylindrische Aussenform mit abgerundeten Kanten auf, die sich ausgezeichnet als Auflage für Kleider eignen. Die Trinkflaschenbehälter ergeben eine faltlose und sehr schonende Auflage für Kleidungsstücke. Als Fla- schenbehalter eignen sich besonders gebrauchte Trinkflaschenbehälter aus Kunststoff . Diese sind sehr leicht und dennoch formstabil . Der erfindungsgemässe Kleiderbügel eignet sich somit ausgezeichnet zum Recyklieren gebrauchter Trinkflaschenbehälter. Die gebrauchten Trinkflaschenbehälter müssen lediglich gereinigt werden, So dass zum Recyklieren sehr wenig Energie verbraucht wird.The task is solved in a generic coat hanger in that the arms are each formed by a bottle container. In particular, drinking bottle containers essentially have a cylindrical outer shape with rounded edges, which are excellent as a support for clothes. The drinking bottle containers result in a fold-free and very gentle support for clothing. Used plastic bottle containers are particularly suitable as bottle containers. These are very light and yet keep their shape. The clothes hanger according to the invention is therefore excellently suitable for recycling used drinking bottle containers. The used drinking bottle containers only need to be cleaned, so that very little energy is used for recycling.
Die Trinkflaschen sind gemass einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung jeweils mit ihrer Mündung am Haken befestigt. Eine sol- ehe Befestigung ist dann besonders einfach und stabil, wenn der Haken für jeden Flaschenbehälter ein Gewinde aufweist und die Flaschenbehälter jeweils an ihrer Mündung in eines diese Gewinde eingetreten sind. Die Flaschen können dann sehr einfach am Haken befestigt und auf von diesem wieder gelöst werden. Der Haken muss lediglich mit zwei Gewinden versehen sein. Da solche Gewinde bei Trinkflaschenbehältern genormt sind, können sehr viele und auch unterschiedliche Trinkflaschen verwendet werden.According to a development of the invention, the drinking bottles are each fastened with their mouths on the hook. Such an attachment is particularly simple and stable when the hook has a thread for each bottle container and the bottle container at its mouth into one of these Threads have occurred. The bottles can then easily be attached to and detached from the hook. The hook only has to be provided with two threads. Since such threads are standardized in drinking bottle containers, a large number and also different drinking bottles can be used.
Der Haken kann sehr kostengünstig beispielsweise als Spritz- gussteil aus Kunststoff hergestellt werden. Es eignen sich jedoch auch andere Werkstoffe, wie beispielsweise Eisen, Holz und dergleichen. Ebenfalls kann der Haken mit einem Drahtbogen versehen sein.The hook can be manufactured very inexpensively, for example as an injection molded part made of plastic. However, other materials such as iron, wood and the like are also suitable. The hook can also be provided with a wire arch.
Erfindungsgemässe Kleiderbügel eignen sich auch ausgezeichnet als Werbeträger.Hangers according to the invention are also excellent as advertising media.
Die Erfindung betrifft ebenfalls einen Haken für einen Kleiderbügel. Dieser Haken ist gekennzeichnet durch Befestigungsmittel, die zum Befestigen von zwei Flaschenbehältern am Ha- ken vorgesehen sind. Da Trinkflaschenbehälter in kaum einem Haushalt fehlen, kann sich die Herstellung des Kleiderbügels auf die Herstellung des Hakens beschränken. Die Arme werden dann vom Benutzer durch Befestigen eigener Trinkflaschenbehälter hergestellt. Der Benutzer kann bei Bedarf dann diese Arme durch andere Flaschenbehälter ersetzen. Mit unterschiedlich grossen Flaschen können unterschiedlich grosse Bügel hergestellt werden. Für den Transport kann der Bügel durch Abnehmen der Flaschen verkleinert werden.The invention also relates to a hook for a hanger. This hook is characterized by fastening means which are provided for fastening two bottle containers to the hook. Since drinking bottle containers are rarely missing in a household, the manufacture of the coat hanger can be limited to the manufacture of the hook. The arms are then made by the user by attaching their own water bottle containers. The user can then replace these arms with other bottle containers if necessary. With different sized bottles different sized brackets can be made. The bracket can be reduced for transport by removing the bottles.
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel des erfindungsgemässen Kleiderbügels wird nachfolgend anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert . Es zeigen:An embodiment of the clothes hanger according to the invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing. Show it:

Die Figur 1 zeigt einen Mantel 5 , der mit einem Kleiderbügel 1 aufgehängt ist. Dieser Kleiderbügel 1 besteht im wesentlichen aus einem Haken 2 und zwei Trinkflaschenbehälter 4, die an diesem Haken befestigt sind.Figure 1 shows a coat 5, which is suspended with a hanger 1. This hanger 1 consists essentially of a hook 2 and two drinking bottle containers 4, which are attached to this hook.
Zur Befestigung der Flaschenbehälter am Haken 2 weist der Haken 2 gemass Figur 3 zwei Gewinde 12 auf, die durch Gewinde- verschlüsse 11 gebildet sind, welche jeweils in eine Ausnehmung 10 eines Befestigungsteils 3 des Hakens eingesetzt sind. Die Deckel 11 sind in geeigneter Weise in den Ausnehmungen 10 befestigt, beispielsweise eingerastet oder/und mit einem geeigneten Kleber oder durch Verschweissen verbunden. Das Gewinde 12 kann aber auch direkt am Be eεtigungsteil 3 gebildet sein. Der Haken 2 ist beispielsweise ein einstöckiges Spritz- gussteil.To fasten the bottle container to the hook 2, the hook 2 according to FIG. 3 has two threads 12 which are formed by thread closures 11 which are each inserted into a recess 10 in a fastening part 3 of the hook. The covers 11 are fastened in a suitable manner in the recesses 10, for example snapped into place and / or connected with a suitable adhesive or by welding. The thread 12 can also be formed directly on the mounting part 3. The hook 2 is, for example, a one-piece injection molded part.
Die Flaschen 4 werden jeweils an ihrer Mündung 7 auf eines der beiden Gewinde 12 aufgeschraubt, wie die Figur 2 zeigt. Die Gewinde 12 sind gegenüberliegend und so angeordnet, dass die beiden am Haken 2 befestigten Flaschenbehälter 4 zueinander einen geeigneten Winkel bilden, der vorzugsweise wesentlich grösser als 90 Grad ist. Die Befestigung der Flaschenbehälter 4 am Haken 2 ist vorzugsweise lösbar, dies ist jedoch nicht zwingend. Die hier gezeigte Schraubverbindung kann auch durch andere geeignete Verbindungen, beispielsweise Schnappoder Rastverbindungen ersetzt werden.The bottles 4 are each screwed onto one of the two threads 12 at their mouth 7, as shown in FIG. The threads 12 are opposite and arranged so that the two bottle containers 4 attached to the hook 2 form a suitable angle to one another, which is preferably substantially greater than 90 degrees. The bottle containers 4 can preferably be attached to the hook 2, but this is not mandatory. The screw connection shown here can also be replaced by other suitable connections, for example snap or snap connections.
Der Haken 2 ist vorzugsweise im Spritzgussverfahren aus Kunststoff hergestellt . Der Bogen 6 des Hakens 2 kann aber auch beispielsweise einen Bogen aus Draht oder dergleichen sein. Denkbar ist auch eine Ausführung aus Holz oder aus einem anderen geeigneten Werkstoff. The hook 2 is preferably made of plastic by injection molding. The arch 6 of the hook 2 can also be, for example, an arch of wire or the like. A version made of wood or another suitable material is also conceivable.
