Definitions

  • This application relates to a device for holding socks or stockings in pairs according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such devices are used to store socks in pairs and / or to prevent them from being separated during washing. To do this, they must be made of washable material, i.e. they must be able to be washed at 60 ° or even 95 ° without losing their stability or mechanical properties.
  • clamps or clamp-like fastening means have been proposed as devices of this type, such as those e.g. in U.S. 4,414,716.
  • Such clips or fasteners are complex to manufacture and use and can damage the socks or stockings.
  • the device thus has a holding body, in which a slot for receiving both socks is arranged.
  • the slot is non-detachably enclosed on all sides by the holding body, ie the holding body forms an undetachable loop which extends around the entire slot.
  • Such a device is easy to manufacture due to its simple geometry. Since the slot is enclosed on all sides, it can hold the socks securely. No teeth, edges or the like are needed that could damage the socks.
  • the slot can extend essentially in a straight line through the holding body.
  • the device is preferably made of Teflon, since this material is soft, elastic, tear-resistant, hard-wearing and washable. Other soft, heat resistant plastics are also preferred.
  • Fig. 2 shows the device of FIG. 1 with two socks held therein.
  • Fig. 1 shows a device for holding socks or stockings in pairs. It has a holding body 1, on which a hook 2 can be arranged.
  • the hook 2 is connected to the holding body 1 via a perforation 3 acting as a predetermined breaking point, so that the hook 2 can be broken off if it is not required.
  • the entire device consists of a heat-resistant plastic, in particular special Teflon, and is made from one piece by punching or injection molding.
  • the holding body 1 is designed as an elongated plate of 1.0-2.5 mm, preferably approximately 1.5 mm thick, in the longitudinal direction of which a straight slot 4 extends. This slot is surrounded on all sides by the holding body 1. At its ends, the slot 4 opens into a round opening 5, 6, which prevents the slot from being torn out even under heavy, repeated loading.
  • the holding body 1 forms along each side of the slot 4 a flexible web 7, 8 of approximately 5 to 15 mm in width. Thanks to the flexibility of these webs, the slit 4 can be spread to insert two socks 10a, 10b, as shown in FIG. 2.
  • the width of the slot 4 should be less than 3 mm, preferably less than 1 mm, in order to ensure a good hold even of thin socks. Since the slit is essentially straight and has no teeth or corners, it holds the socks gently and damage is avoided.
  • the slit length can be adapted to the sock size, i.e. e.g. special devices with short slots for children's socks are provided.
  • the device according to the invention can be used both for storing socks (e.g. in a sales outlet) and for washing and drying socks or stockings. By using the device in
  • Washing the socks can avoid that pairs of socks are separated. Thanks to the softness and flexibility of Teflon, damage to the washing machine or tumbler is avoided. In particular if the device is only used for washing socks, the hook 2 can be removed. It is also conceivable to to produce directions for washing socks without hooks 2.
  • the device can be manufactured from a stamped Teflon plate of constant thickness (preferably approx. 1.5 mm). However, it is also conceivable to manufacture them by injection molding. In this case, heavily used parts, e.g. the hook 2 or possibly one or both of the webs 7, 8 are reinforced by ribs.
  • the device is quick and easy to manufacture and robust, since it has no closures or springs, as are usually found with staples. It is light, which is particularly advantageous in the washing machine. It is suitable for socks, stockings and other textiles used in pairs.
