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.
- the object is therefore to provide a device of the type mentioned at the outset which avoids these disadvantages as far as possible.
- 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, durable and washable. Other soft, heat-resistant plastics are also preferred.
- 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 which acts 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 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 about 5 to 15 mm in width. Thanks to the flexibility of these webs, the slot 4 can be spread to introduce 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 slot is essentially straight and has no teeth or corners, it keeps the socks soft and prevents damage.
- the slit length can be adjusted to the size of the socks, 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.
- Using the device when washing the socks can prevent pairs of socks from being separated. Thanks to the softness and flexibility of Teflon, damage to the washing machine or tumbler is avoided.
- the hook 2 can be removed. It is also conceivable for devices according to the invention for washing socks without hooks 2.
- the device can be produced 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 sokken, stockings and other textiles used in pairs.

Abstract
Description
Diese Anmeldung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum paarweisen Halten von Socken oder Strümpfen gemäss Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1.This application relates to a device for holding socks or stockings in pairs according to the preamble of claim 1.
Derartige Vorrichtungen werden verwendet, um Socken paarweise aufzubewahren und/oder um zu verhindern, dass sie beim Waschen getrennt werden. Hierzu müssen sie aus waschfestem Material bestehen, d.h. sie müssen in der Lage sein, bei 60° oder sogar 95° gewaschen zu werden, ohne dass sie ihre Stabilität oder mechanischen Eigenschaften verlieren.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.
Als Vorrichtungen dieser Art wurden bislang Klammern oder klammerartige Befestigungsmittel vorgeschlagen, wie sie z.B. in US 4 414 716 beschrieben sind. Derartige Klammern bzw. Befestigungsmittel sind jedoch aufwendig in Herstellung und Anwendung und können die Socken bzw. Strümpfe beschädigen. Gemäss WO 98/23806 werden die Socken gehalten, wie Blätter mit einer Büroklammer, was jedoch keine sichere Halterung der Socken zulässt. In GB 2 325 955 (Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1) wird ein Kleiderhalter vorgeschlagen, der zwei gekreuzte Schlitze aufweist. Da die Kreuzung der Schlitze in der Mitte der Schlitze liegt, wird bei der Einführung des Kleidungsstückes in den einen Schlitz das Kleidungsstück an die Ecken des anderen, kreuzenden Schlitz gedrückt. Dies kann das Kleidungsstück beschädigen.So far, clips or clip-like fastening means have been proposed as devices of this type, as are described, for example, in US Pat. No. 4,414,716. Such clips or fasteners, however, are expensive to manufacture and use and can damage the socks or stockings. According to WO 98/23806, the socks are held like sheets with a paper clip, but this does not allow the socks to be held securely. In GB 2 325 955 (preamble of claim 1) a clothes holder is proposed which has two crossed slits. Since the intersection of the slits lies in the middle of the slits, when the garment is inserted into one slit, the garment is pressed against the corners of the other, intersecting slit. This can damage the garment.
Es stellt sich deshalb die Aufgabe, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art bereitzustellen, die diese Nachteile möglichst vermeidet.The object is therefore to provide a device of the type mentioned at the outset which avoids these disadvantages as far as possible.
Diese Aufgabe wird von der Vorrichtung gemäss Anspruch 1 erfüllt. Erfindungsgemäss besitzt die Vorrichtung also einen Haltekörper, in welchem ein Schlitz zur Aufnahme beider Socken angeordnet ist. Der Schlitz ist allseitig unlösbar vom Haltekörper umschlossen, d.h. der Haltekörper bildet eine unlösbare Schlaufe, die sich um den ganzen Schlitz herum erstreckt.This object is achieved by the device according to claim 1. According to the invention, 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.
Eine solche Vorrichtung ist aufgrund ihrer einfachen Geometrie problemlos herzustellen. Da der Schlitz allseitig umschlossen ist, vermag er die Socken sicher zu halten. Es werden keine Zähne, Kanten oder dergleichen benötigt, die die Socken beschädigen könnten. Der Schlitz kann sich im wesentlichen in gerader Linie durch den Haltekörper erstrecken.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.
Vorzugsweise besteht die Vorrichtung aus Teflon, da dieses Material weich, elastisch, reissfest, strapazierfähig und waschfest ist. Andere weiche, hitzebeständige Kunststoffe sind ebenfalls bevorzugt.The device is preferably made of Teflon, since this material is soft, elastic, tear-resistant, durable and washable. Other soft, heat-resistant plastics are also preferred.
Weitere Ausgestaltungen, Vorteile und Anwendungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den abhängigen Ansprüchen und aus der nun folgenden Beschreibung anhand der Figuren. Dabei zeigen:
- Fig. 1 eine bevorzugte Ausführung der Erfindung und
- Fig. 2 die Vorrichtung nach Fig. 1 mit zwei darin gehaltenen Socken.
- Fig. 1 shows a preferred embodiment of the invention and
- Fig. 2 shows the device of FIG. 1 with two socks held therein.
Fig. 1 zeigt eine Vorrichtung zum paarweisen Halten von Socken oder Strümpfen. Sie besitzt einen Haltekörper 1, an welchem ein Haken 2 angeordnet sein kann. Der Haken 2 ist über eine als Sollbruchstelle wirkende Perforation 3 mit dem Haltekörper 1 verbunden, so dass der Haken 2 abgebrochen werden kann, falls er nicht benötigt wird.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 which acts as a predetermined breaking point, so that the hook 2 can be broken off if it is not required.
In der vorliegenden Ausführung besteht die ganze Vorrichtung aus einem hitzefesten Kunststoff, insbesondere Teflon, und ist durch Stanzen oder Spritzguss aus einem Stück gefertigt.In the present embodiment, the entire device consists of a heat-resistant plastic, in particular Teflon, and is made from one piece by punching or injection molding.
Der Haltekörper 1 ist als längliche Platte von 1.0 - 2.5 mm, vorzugsweise ca. 1.5 mm Dicke ausgestaltet, in deren Längsrichtung sich ein gerader Schlitz 4 erstreckt. Dieser Schlitz ist allseitig vom Haltekörper 1 umgeben. An seinen Enden mündet der Schlitz 4 je in eine runde Öffnung 5, 6, wodurch ein Ausreissen des Schlitzes auch bei starker, wiederholter Belastung verhindert wird.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.
Der Haltekörper 1 bildet entlang jeder Seite des Schlitzes 4 je einen flexiblen Steg 7, 8 von ca. 5 bis 15 mm Breite. Dank der Flexibilität dieser Stege kann der Schlitz 4 gespreizt werden, um zwei Socken 10a, 10b einzuführen, wie dies in Fig. 2 dargestellt ist.The holding body 1 forms along each side of the slot 4 a flexible web 7, 8 of about 5 to 15 mm in width. Thanks to the flexibility of these webs, the slot 4 can be spread to introduce two socks 10a, 10b, as shown in FIG. 2.
Die Breite des Schlitzes 4 sollte kleiner als 3 mm, vorzugsweise kleiner als 1 mm sein, um einen guten Halt auch dünner Socken zu gewährleisten. Da der Schlitz im wesentlichen gerade verläuft und keine Zähne oder Ekken aufweist, hält er die Socken sanft und Beschädigungen werden vermieden.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 slot is essentially straight and has no teeth or corners, it keeps the socks soft and prevents damage.
Die Schlitzlänge kann der Sockengrösse angepasst werden, d.h. es können z.B. spezielle Vorrichtungen mit kurzen Schlitzen für Kindersocken bereitgestellt werden.The slit length can be adjusted to the size of the socks, i.e. e.g. special devices with short slots for children's socks are provided.
Die erfindungsgemässe Vorrichtung kann sowohl zum Aufbewahren von Socken (z.B. in einem Verkaufslokal), als auch zum Waschen und Trocknen von Socken oder Strümpfen verwendet werden.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.
Durch eine Verwendung der Vorrichtung beim Waschen der Socken kann vermieden werden, dass Sockenpaare getrennt werden. Dank der Weichheit und Flexibilität von Teflon werden dabei Beschädigungen der Waschmaschine oder des Tumblers vermieden.Using the device when washing the socks can prevent pairs of socks from being separated. Thanks to the softness and flexibility of Teflon, damage to the washing machine or tumbler is avoided.
Insbesondere wenn die Vorrichtung nur zum Waschen von Socken verwendet wird, kann der Haken 2 entfernt werden. Es ist auch denkbar, erfindungsgemässe Vorrichtungen zum Waschen von Socken ohne Haken 2 herzustellen.In particular if the device is only used for washing socks, the hook 2 can be removed. It is also conceivable for devices according to the invention for washing socks without hooks 2.
Wie bereits erwähnt, kann die Vorrichtung aus einer gestanzten Teflonplatte konstanter Dicke (vorzugsweise ca. 1.5 mm) hergestellt werden. Es ist jedoch auch denkbar, sie in Spritzgussverfahren herzustellen. In diesem Falle können stark beanspruchte Teile, z.B. der Haken 2 oder gegebenenfalls einer oder beide der Stege 7, 8, durch Rippen verstärkt werden.As already mentioned, the device can be produced 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.
Die Vorrichtung ist schnell und einfach herzustellen und robust, da sie keine Verschlüsse oder Federn aufweist, wie sie bei Klammern üblicherweise zu finden sind. Sie ist leicht, was insbesondere auch in der Waschmaschine von Vorteil ist. Sie eignet sich für Sokken, Strümpfe und andere, paarweise verwendete Textilien.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 sokken, stockings and other textiles used in pairs.
