Description

The invention relates to a hanger for plastic bags according to the preamble of claim 1. Such hangers are used for the presentation of goods used, which are attached to a hanger.

A comparable hanger for presenting foldable items is with the subject of EP 540 810 A1 become known. With this hanger are each on a flat card body two opposite each other Retaining tabs on the side edges of the card body via film hinges arranged pivotally. The retaining tabs are latched together and form such a nip between the card body and the respective retaining tab out. In this nip can now be presented to a foldable object trapped and thereby held and presented.

Such a hanger is only for foldable items to be presented suitable because the objects only in the nip between the Card body and the latchable retaining tabs clamped can be. For holding plastic bags in which to However, such a hanger is not suitable.

EP 1 022 225 A1 discloses a hanger for objects, which are stored in a plastic bag, which on a flat Card body with recess for the passage for a suspension hook can be attached. The plastic bag is here on the card body fastened by means of a transverse retaining tab, which horizontally pivotable about a vertical, one-sided arranged on the card body Film hinge with the card body in the closed position is releasably latched. At the Closing the retaining tab, the plastic bag is in a nip clamped, which runs over the entire width of the retaining tab. The clamping takes place by introducing an elongated cuboid projection of Retaining tab in a matching elongated cuboid groove one Bead in the card body. The plastic bag is between holding tab and Card body in the elongated cuboid clamping gap just clamped, but not penetrated by parts of the holder and therefore the plastic bag is not held securely.

The DE-GM 75 38 284 also shows such a hanger Card body for holding objects in a plastic bag. The However, plastic bag has through-holes, which by pins on Card body form of locking bolts are penetrated. To secure the Detent connection are arranged separately and separately operable Rastlippen provided. Attaching the plastic bag to the hanger is therefore with a much higher workload as in the hanger EP 1 022 225 A1 connected, since the locking pin of the card body in the Through holes of the plastic bag must be threaded and then each locking lip must be operated for itself.

From the prior art, the GB 2 353 783 can be seen from this. she also shows a holder for items in a plastic bag. The The bag is picked up by two from the upper shoulder side articulated breech realized. This technical teaching also focuses on one Bag shape with prefabricated receiving holes from. These holes are in the Shooting mounted in the form of pins, in each of which an associated Clamping mechanism engages, so that the tab is fixed. Additionally is in the two stirrups each run a further strip-shaped clamping mechanism, the realized a partial lateral closure of the bag. Also in this Embodiment there is a corresponding overhead in the fixation, Similar to the DE -GM 75 38 284, where even in addition to it must be respected, that also the two strip-shaped Closing mechanisms are operated correctly.

As a further prior art FR 2 657 127 was determined, the one double flap in map form. In this embodiment of a Cradle for hanging plastic bags is the hinge in the Center between two mounting plates arranged. Each has a receiving plate a part of a pin-shaped fixing on. So are two on a plate spaced from each other formed pins, and on the other plate two each these associated pin recordings. However, these have the disadvantage that They spend a huge amount of material for the training of the pen photos require, since the admission over the entire length of the receiving plate and extends over a substantial part of the width and has a thickness that is so is designed so that the two pins are completely absorbed in it.

The invention is therefore based on the object, a hanger for Plastic bags and bags starting from FR 2 657 127 so on zubilden that a much simpler and safer attachment is given.

To solve the problem, the invention by the technical teaching of claim 1. An essential feature of the invention is that the retaining tab has latching means, which with the side edge of the Card body are releasably or firmly locked.

Here is a plastic bag or a plastic bag, in which the packaging and presentation object is packed with the upper Edge in the space between at least one retaining tab and an am Card body arranged mounting surface held.

The invention provides, in contrast to EP 540 810 A1, that a Plastic bag with an upper edge in the space between at least a retaining tab and the card body is attached. This has the advantage that the objects to be presented no longer in folded form in the retaining tab must be clamped, but that instead a Plastic bag in the clamping space between the retaining tab and the Card body is trapped, in which in turn to be presented Items are packed.

With this type of goods presentation, there are significant benefits that be explained in more detail with reference to an embodiment.

It is known plastic bags made of a relatively thin PE or PP plastic material train. This type of packaging will be for easy Tools and accessories used after these bags only a little are sustainable. These bags are preferred with their upper edge to one Paperbag stapled with staples.

The type of attachment of the bag used on the card body has the disadvantage that the bag can now be removed by tearing off the card body and is difficult to open after tearing by the resulting crack edges.
A reclosure is not possible without this.

So far, it is also known, for example, heavier tools or others pack heavier items in plastic bags. The plastic bag is preferably made of a thicker PVC or PP material that is tear resistant. These bags have a bag on the top with one inside attached recess.

In general, such plastic bags are printed and wear on your Surface the marking of the goods, certain goods and for example, the price.

The disadvantage is that with heavy goods, the shoulder bag is ugly deformed.

This type of merchandise presentation has serious disadvantages. It always has to an assignment of the printed plastic bag to the goods contained therein to be hit. This requires a relatively large storage, on the one hand of Plastic bag and on the other hand of specifically in the respective type of Plastic bag to be packed. Every commodity must be exactly for this assigned and printed plastic bag assigned.

This is where the invention starts, which proposes, preferably an unprinted Plastic bag to use, but in the nip with the card body arranged holding tabs and the card body itself is held.

If you use unprinted plastic bags, then there is the first Advantage that the bag can be kept completely neutral, and that in it contained item by imprints on the bag, advertising notices and such is not obscured. it is so well visible.

The card body used with the plastic bag is large area, so that on the front - and possibly also on the back - appropriate references to the nature and condition of Goods on whose use and their price can be attached. The Labeling of the goods in this case takes place by means of fast-pressing Labels on the card body.

This has the significant advantage that storage now essential becomes smaller, because for any items to be packaged neutral Plastic bags are used, in which the object to be packaged is included and that the actual association between the object and the information relating to the object through imprints on the Card body itself takes place.

This type of packaging technique requires that the plastic bag be detachable or is detachably attached to the card body only by destruction.

For such a detachable or a secure connection of the Plastic bag with the card body there are a number of Embodiments, all individually individually and in combination be claimed as essential to the invention.

In a simple embodiment, it is provided that the retaining tab can be locked by means of locking means with the mounting surface on the card body.

Here, one or more retaining tabs on each one horizontal or vertical pivot axis be articulated on one side of the card body, wherein the Swivel axis preferably by a film hinge between the retaining tab and the card body is formed. This assumes that the card body and the Retaining tab material integral with each other, and preferably made a plastic material or a multilayer plastic material consist.

In this choice of material in connection with the production of the card body in conjunction with the attaching retaining tab very easily with the film hinge be formed.

The film hinge opposite are corresponding to the retaining tabs Locking means arranged, with which this with the card body, detachable or fixed are latched.

Such locking means can be designed differently. In a preferred Design is a locking tab on the free, pivoting End of the retaining tab is arranged, and the card body at the The narrow side engages and in this way can be locked with this.

In addition to the front side of the retaining tab arranged latching means, however, can Also arranged on the surface of the retaining tab locking means available be, which interact with associated counter-locking means on the card body.

It is incidentally for the success of the teaching of the invention indifferent, whether a or more holding tabs are arranged on the card body, and whether these over a horizontal or about a vertical axis via respective film hinges on Card body are attached.

Of course, the film hinges can also be omitted and the retaining tabs can be latched as separate parts with the card body.

Another embodiment of the locking means described is, for example in that on the retaining tab one or more locking pins are arranged, the interact with corresponding recesses in the card body.

Of course, for all described locking means, the kinematic Reversal claimed as essential to the invention, d. H. - related to this described embodiment - that also on the card body, the locking pin may be arranged with associated recesses in the Retaining tab work together.

In addition to such locking means, of course, there are others Locking means such as Velcro fasteners, snap fasteners and such more. Instead of releasable or fixed locking means are also insoluble compounds claimed, such as friction welding, Adhesive joints and the like, which must be destroyed when opening.

So after having preferred the plastic bag or bag on the card body is secured by means of latching retaining tabs, it is in the the simplest form provided that the bag or bag simply through the Retaining tab is pulled through and - if he has an upper closure bead has - with this closure bead up out of the retaining tab out protrudes, so that its flat part is simply clamped by the nip, the formed by the card body and the retaining tab and the bead-shaped Thickening at the top of the bag or the top of the bag Sticking tab protrudes and rests there on the retaining tab.

The clamping gap formed by the retaining tab and the card body is so narrower than the peripheral sealing bead of the plastic bag, so that this is securely held in the retaining tab.

In another embodiment of the invention, it is provided that in the upper Provided area of the bag or pocket corresponding recesses are, with associated pins on the retaining tab of the card body act together and are penetrated by these pins. The retaining tab has in This embodiment, two different locking means, namely once the Edge-side locking means - formed from a front side of the retaining tab attached and with this material integrally connected latching tab and in the remaining still additionally made of material integral with the retaining tab Rastzapfen, which pass through the recesses in the plastic bag, the Hold plastic bag hereby and in the closed state in assigned Recesses are locked in the card body. The catch can yes after Need of the purpose easy to open or fixed for theft reasons and be detachable only by destruction.

However, instead of a plurality of spaced apart locking pin can provided only a single locking knob on the inside of the retaining tab be formed into an associated, elongated and approximately slot-shaped Engaging recess in the card body engages.

This elongated and approximately horizontally directed locking knob then engages by a correspondingly adapted recess in the upper region of the Bag or bag through, so this in turn through this additional support means in the nip between the retaining tab and the Card body is held.

A particular advantage of the invention results from the possibility of Use of a warranty label. When looking at the latching of the retaining tab with the card body flush with the other surfaces of the hanger Designed, you can over the entire front surface of the hanger and over the with the hanger latched retaining tab to stick a warranty label which covering the retaining tab.

When opening the retaining tab, the label must be damaged, so that in the Salesroom is very quickly recognizable when the customer is in unwanted Make a plastic bag with foreign content associated with a hanger Has.

It was already mentioned at the outset that the invention has the task, not only Plastic bags with smooth edge to hold, but additionally Plastic bag with a sealing bead formed on the edge.

For this purpose, the invention provides that the clamping surface between the retaining tab and the card body is traversed by a horizontal transverse groove, in which the bead-shaped closure edge of the plastic bag to be held inserted becomes.

This results in an improved mounting of the plastic bag in the Klemmspalt, because in addition to the holder in the nip nor the holder of Closing bead in the transverse groove is added.

Also in this embodiment, it may be provided that the retaining tab with additional locking means and / or holding means the plastic bag be upheld.

In particular, it is preferred if on the inside of the retaining tab corresponding mandrels are arranged, which associated recesses in Card body lying opposite.

The plastic bag to be held with its closure bead in the transverse groove inserted in the region of the clamping gap with the retaining tab open; this will be then closed, so that then arranged on the retaining tab pins the Pass plastic bag and into the assigned recesses in the Card body penetrate and are fixed there.

Of course, the spines described by additional Latching means between retaining tab and card body are added, which also enforce assigned recesses in the plastic bag and this additionally hold.

In a simplified embodiment but these mandrels can be omitted and it can only be provided that the closure bead plastic bag in an associated transverse groove in the nip between card body and Retaining tab is held.

It is again noted that all previously described retaining means and locking means are interchangeable and individually for themselves and also in Combination with each other can be arranged on a hanger.

In the following the invention is based on several execution paths illustrative drawings explained in more detail. Here are the drawings and its description further features essential to the invention and advantages of Invention forth.
