Description

Hangers, process for making them and hanging hooks for hangers

The invention relates to a clothes hanger with a hanger body, in particular made of plastic, in the middle part of which a suspension hook is fixed on the top, the suspension hook having a lower vertical shaft section which is rotatably mounted in the middle part of the hanger body. In addition, the invention relates to a method for producing a corresponding hanger. Furthermore, the invention relates to a hanging hook for a clothes hanger, with an upper hook section and a lower vertical shaft section.

Hangers and hanging hooks of the type mentioned have been known for a long time. The hanging hook is usually bent from a round metal wire and has an upper hook section with which it can be hung on a wall hook or a clothes rail. The hook section is followed by a vertically downward sheep section with which the hanging hook is held directly or indirectly in a bracket body. The suspension ^¬ hook is fixed to the bracket body by either which is extrusion-coated with the plastic material of the bracket body or by pressing or hammering the lower end of the suspension hook into the bracket body, material being rearranged on the bracket body. By means of ribs or barb-like projections formed on the lateral surface of the shaft section of the suspension hook, the suspension hook is secured against being pulled out and possibly against twisting (DE 90 15 241 UI, DE 35 38 344 AI).

For the transport of hangers in automatic sorting and conveying systems of the clothing industry, it is necessary that the hanging hook is either held in a rotationally fixed manner on the hanger body or at least has such a high rotational resistance that it can withstand the loads during transport and an unintentional turning of the hanging hook relative to the bracket body is excluded.

To form a rotationally fixed bearing, it is known to design the suspension hook in its lower shaft section with radially protruding ears. If such a hook is embedded in the plastic material of the bracket body, the radially protruding ears prevent that. The hook can be rotated relative to the bracket body. However, since the areas of the ears protruding beyond the normal circumference of the shaft section of the suspension hook are relatively small, there is only a slight protection against rotation. ^" The suspension hook can only be rotated relative to the bracket body when a correspondingly high torque is applied, the plastic - The material of the temple body is usually destroyed by the protruding ears, but then the suspension hook can be rotated easily and freely relative to the temple body, in particular customers in department stores and shops often try to close the suspension hook by 90 ° relative to the temple body twist in order to hang the garments on the side of a clothes rack and thus be able to view them better. However, a hanger with a hanging hook loosened by applying the appropriate force can no longer be used in the sorting and conveying systems of the clothing industry mentioned, and each rotation of the hanging hook changes the rotational resistance.

An attempt has been made to mount the suspension hook with a defined rotational resistance. For this purpose, the suspension hook is provided in its shaft section with a polygonal cross section, which is embedded in the plastic material of the bracket body and displaces it when it rotates, the resistance applied by the plastic material defining the rotational resistance. However, it has been shown that the polygonal cross section and the ribs designed as pull-out protection on the suspension hook scrape off the plastic material during rotation, so that a defined resistance to rotation is only given over a very short period of use of one or two revolutions of the suspension hook. In this way, multiple use of appropriate hangers in modern sorting and conveyor systems in the clothing industry is not possible.

The invention has for its object to provide a hanger of the type mentioned, the suspension hook has a defined resistance to rotation even after prolonged use. In addition, a simple process for producing a corresponding coat hanger is to be created. Furthermore, a hanging hook for a hanger is to be created, with which a defined rotatability can be achieved in a structurally simple manner. This object is achieved according to the invention in the case of a hanger with the structure mentioned in that the shaft section has a circular cylindrical shape with a smooth, non-profiled lateral surface at least in one bearing area and in that the bearing area of the preferably metal hanging hook with a slip-free press fit in the middle part of the hanger body or an attached holding part is held.

According to the invention, it is assumed that the hanging hook in conventional hangers is loosened after only a few revolutions of the hanging hook, since the plastic material of the hanger body is already mechanically impaired during assembly of the hanging hook or during rotation of the hanging hook, and in particular is scraped off or ground off. In order to avoid this, the invention provides for the rotational resistance of the suspension hook to be achieved solely by means of a large-area frictional connection, that is to say by means of frictional forces, without the spring forces or the elastic deformability of the plastic material of the bracket body or of the holding part being used have to. This is achieved in that the shaft section has a rotationally symmetrical, circular cross section in its bearing area, without projections or depressions being provided on its outer surface. The plastic material of the bracket body or the holding part rests on the outer surface of the bearing area under prestress over the entire circumference in a similar manner, so that an increased frictional force occurs between the outer surface of the bearing area of the shaft section and the plastic material of the bracket body or the holding part. which defines the rotational resistance. The suspension hook is held in its respective actual position in the direction of rotation solely via these frictional forces, without an in Direction of rotation effective interlocking engagement between the suspension hook and the bracket body is given.

It has been shown that the frictional forces that occur between the smooth, non-profiled outer surface of the bearing area of the suspension hook and the plastic material of the bracket body or the holding part are determined by a corresponding choice of the geometric relationships and / or by the selection of the material of the bracket body or have the holding part set to a desired dimension. The frictional forces are in particular dependent on the contact area between the outer surface of the bearing area of the suspension hook and the bracket body or the holding part and thus on the height of the bearing area and the diameter of the bearing area. Furthermore, the adjunct

Rotary resistance is also largely determined by the size of the press tension generated, which will be discussed later. The rotational resistance generated does not decrease or decreases only to a very small extent even after the suspension hook has been rotated frequently, since scraping or mechanical destruction of the plastic material and a change in the geometric conditions associated therewith do not take place.

If the press fit between the bearing area of the shaft section of the suspension hook and the surrounding plastic material of the bracket body or the holding part is sufficiently strong, the frictional forces prevailing there can also prevent the suspension hook from being pulled out, ie securing against movement of the suspension hook in the axial direction of the latter Serve shaft section relative to the bracket body. Alternatively, however, can also be provided that a lower cross-sectional enlargement is formed at the shaft portion of the suspension hook below the La ^¬ Gerber in France, which is so large that the suspension hook is secured in form-locking manner against a pulling out. To- In addition or as an alternative to this, the suspension hook can also be secured against being pressed in, in that an upper cross-sectional widening is formed on the shaft section of the suspension hook above the storage area.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention it is provided that the axial securing of the suspension hook is achieved in that at least one annular groove is formed in the shaft section of the suspension hook above and / or below the bearing area. The annular groove, which runs perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the shaft section and has a constant cross section over its entire length, only serves to secure the shaft section against axial displacement, without impeding the rotatability of the suspension hook. When the suspension hook is pressed in or driven in, the material of the bracket body or the plastic part is rearranged so that it penetrates into the ring groove and thereby engages behind the suspension hook and axially secures it.

Preferably only a single annular groove is provided, since this is usually sufficient to axially secure the suspension hook. In order to achieve a defined rotational resistance between the lateral surface of the bearing area of the shaft section and the surrounding plastic material of the bracket body or the holding part, it must be ensured that the plastic material when pushing in or knocking in the hanging hook at least in the area that together with the bearing area when the hanging hook is inserted - works, is not damaged or is damaged and impaired as little as possible. For this reason, provision should be made for the annular groove to be arranged on that side of the bearing region which is remote from an end insertion of the shaft section. When the hook is prefabricated, it is attached to the lower end of its vertical shaft section. tes pressed from above into the bracket body or the holding part. In this case, the annular groove lies above the storage area, ie the rearrangement of the plastic material as a result of the annular groove takes place only after the storage area has already passed this section when it is inserted, and those areas of the plastic material which come into contact with the storage area of the shaft section are through does not affect the ring groove.

Instead of prefabricating the hanging hook, it is also possible to pierce the still straight round wire from below through the bracket body and to subsequently mold the hook section of the hanging hook. In this case, the annular groove is arranged below the bearing area, with which the above-mentioned consequences are connected.

In the initial state, ie before the introduction of the annular groove, the shaft section of the suspension hook has a similar circular cross section over its entire length. If the annular groove is introduced into the shank section while removing material, it can continue to maintain its continuous circular cross section apart from the annular groove. However, it is much less expensive to roll the annular groove into the shaft section. This does not lead to material abrasion, but the material of the shaft section is relocated, which is associated with the risk that it protrudes radially from the shaft section and thereby hinders the generation of a defined rotational resistance. In order to avoid this, it can be provided according to the invention that the material rearranged when the annular groove is rolled into a continuous annular collar which is formed directly above and / or below the annular groove and has a circular cylindrical shape with a smooth, non-profiled lateral surface. The material created by the formation of the ring groove leads to a Nem slightly larger outer diameter di of the ring collar compared to the starting or nominal outer diameter d of the shaft section. However, since the material is distributed evenly over the entire circumference of the shaft section, the diameter widening is relatively small. It has been shown that the outer diameter di of the ring collar is generally larger by approximately 0.05 mm to 0.15 mm and in particular approximately 0.1 mm than the nominal outer diameter d of the shaft section. The suspension hook also has a circular cross section in the area of the ring collar, so that the rotation of the suspension hook is not hindered and no destruction of the plastic material occurs when the suspension hook rotates.

The hanging hook is assembled to the hanger body at a relatively high speed in the industrial production of a hanger. In order to prevent the edge at the insertion of the suspension hook, which is generally the lower end, from damaging or scraping the wall of the plastic material when the suspension hook is being inserted, a further development of the invention provides that the insertion section formed at the lower end of the shaft section is formed Insertion section tapers conically and that a cone angle α is in the range from 5 ° to 45 ° and in particular in the range from 20 ° to 30 °.

To generate a defined rotational resistance, it is advantageous if the lower bearing area has an axial length 1 of at least 0.5 cm and in particular of at least 1.0 cm.

The suspension hook can be made directly on a prefabricated bracket body, ie without the interposition of a separate holding part. In this case, a beaded or sleeve-shaped collar is attached to the bracket body in a known manner formed a receptacle whose inner diameter is slightly less than the nominal outer diameter of the bearing area of the suspension hook. The bearing area of the suspension hook is then axially pressed or hammered into the receptacle, as a result of which the plastic material of the collar is expanded to a lesser extent and subsequently clamps radially from the outside onto the storage area of the suspension hook. The difference between the inside diameter of the receptacle and the nominal outside diameter of the bearing area determines, among other things, the friction forces or the compressive stress that occurs. It has proven to be advantageous if the inner diameter of the receptacle before the insertion of the hanging hook is 2% to 15% and in particular about 10% smaller than the nominal outside diameter of the bearing area of the hanging hook. Usual nominal

The outside diameter of the storage area or the section of the suspension hook is in the range from 3 mm to 4 mm, so that the inside diameter of the receptacle should then be in the range of 2.7 mm to 3.5 mm before the insertion of the suspension hook.

It has been shown that the duration over which a predetermined rotational resistance is maintained on the hanger is also essentially dependent on the material of the hanger body. The bracket body should preferably consist of an elastic, thermoplastic, in particular polystyrene or polycarbonate. The use of polycarbonate has proven to be advantageous. However, this has the disadvantage that the material is relatively expensive and thus the production of the hanger is generally more expensive. In a further development of the invention it can therefore be provided that the bracket body is formed from a cheaper material which is less suitable per se for achieving a defined rotational resistance, and that the receptacle into which the bearing area of the Suspension hook is used to generate radial press tensions, is formed at least in sections on a holding part which consists in particular of polycarbonate. The holding part can be a socket inserted into the collar of the bracket body, which is preferably firmly connected to the collar. In this way, the consumption of high-quality plastic material, in particular polycarbonate, can be kept low without this having negative consequences for maintaining a predetermined rotational resistance of the suspension hook.

In an alternative embodiment of the invention, it can be provided that the holding part is a receiving part held within the bracket body, which has the receptacle into which the shaft portion of the suspension hook penetrating the bracket body wall is at least partially inserted with its bearing area. When the suspension hook is pressed with its lower insertion section into the collar of the bracket body from above, the suspension hook moves until the lower end of the shaft section and thus at least part of the bearing area protrudes on the underside of the collar. The bow body, which has a C-profile that is open at the bottom in its middle part, stores within a middle part the holding part made of high-quality plastic, for example polycarbonate, which is aligned with a blind hole-like receptacle so that it protrudes downwards from the collar of the bow body Storage area of the shaft section penetrates into the receptacle and is held there in a defined manner. Even if a holding part is used, provision should be made for the inside diameter of the receptacle to be 2% to 15% and in particular about 10% smaller than the nominal outside diameter of the bearing area of the hanging hook before the hanging hook is inserted. According to the invention, the rotational resistance between the suspension hook and the bracket body is essentially determined by the friction between the outer surface of the bearing area and the surface of the plastic material of the bracket body or the holding part. The friction forces which occur in this case and which are to be overcome when the suspension hook rotates can be influenced if, in a development of the invention, a coating is applied at least to the bearing area of the shaft section. The coating is preferably sprayed or spread onto the storage area of the suspension hook in liquid form prior to its assembly and wets the storage area. It has been shown that wetting the storage area with the liquid coating facilitates the insertion of the storage area into the bracket body or the holding part. After the suspension hook has been installed, the applied coating material can either harden and / or at least partially evaporate or evaporate. The remaining coating residues essentially determine the frictional forces resulting from the rotation of the suspension hook and thus the resistance to rotation. In particular, it is provided that the coating causes an increase in the frictional forces, which is particularly the case when an aqueous glue dispersion is used as the liquid coating material.

With regard to the suspension hook, the aforementioned object is achieved in that the shaft section of the suspension hook has a circular cylindrical shape in a lower bearing area with a smooth, non-profiled lateral surface and that at least one annular groove is formed in the shaft section of the suspension hook above and / or below the bearing area. The structural features of the suspension hook according to the invention have already been hand of the hanger has been explained, to which reference is made.

With regard to the method, the above-mentioned object is achieved in that the bracket body is prefabricated and the metal suspension hook is pressed or hammered into a receptacle of the bracket body or a holding part with its radial expansion, with a coating at least on the bearing area of the shaft section before being pressed in or hammered in is applied. Further features of the method result from the above description of the clothes hanger.

1, a hanger 10 has a hanger body 11 made of plastic, which has a central part 12, from which two hanger arms 13 extend to opposite sides. In the upper area of the middle part 12, a sleeve-shaped collar 14 is formed, which represents a bulge-like material thickening and has a bore-like receptacle 14a which extends vertically and has a constant circular inner cross section over its height.

In the receptacle 14a of the collar 14, a suspension hook 20, which is only partially shown in FIG. 1, is rotatably fastened to the central part 12 of the bracket body 11. The suspension hook 20, which is made of metal, has in its lower region in a known manner a vertically extending shaft section 20c, on which an upper cross-sectional broadening 20f is formed, for example by squeezing, at a distance from the lower end of the shaft section 20d. Under- half of the upper cross-sectional widening 20f, the shaft section 20c has a bearing region 20d, which has a circular-cylindrical shape with a smooth, non-profiled lateral surface. In the unmounted state of the suspension hook 20, the nominal outer diameter of the bearing area 20d is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the receptacle 14a of the collar 14. The shaft section 20c is pressed into the receptacle 14a from above with its radial widening until the upper cross-sectional widening 20f on the upper side Collar 14 is arranged. The plastic material of the bracket body 11 or of the collar 14 tightens radially from the outside onto the outer surface of the bearing area 20d, as a result of which an increased frictional force is generated which has to be overcome for rotation of the suspension hook 20 within the collar 14.

If the frictional forces occurring between the lateral surface of the bearing area 20d and the inner surface of the receptacle 14a are not sufficient to secure the hook 20 from being pulled out, the lower end of the shaft section 20c, which protrudes from the receptacle 14a of the collar 14 on the underside, can form a lower cross-sectional widening 20g are reshaped, as indicated by dashed lines in FIG. 2, so that a positive pull-out protection is achieved.

4 and 5 show a preferred embodiment of a suspension hook 20. This is bent in a known manner from a metallic round wire and has in its upper region a curved hook portion 20a which is formed in a conventional manner and at the front free end of which a spherical head 20b is formed is. The vertically downward shaft section 20c adjoins the end of the hook section 20a opposite the head 20b. The lower end of the vertical shaft portion 20c forms an introducer 20e which tapers downwards at a cone angle α (see FIG. 5). The cone angle α is preferably less than 30 ° and in the illustrated embodiment is approximately 20 1 °

The shaft section 20c has a circular cross section over its entire height with an initial or nominal outer diameter d. The storage area 20d adjoins directly above the conical insertion end 20e over a length 1 of at least 1 cm. The storage area 20d has a smooth, non-profiled lateral surface.

Above the storage area 20d, i.e. On the side of the bearing region 20d facing away from the introducer 20e, an annular groove 21 is formed in the shaft section 20c, which extends at a right angle to the longitudinal extension of the shaft section 20c and has a V cross-section. The annular groove 21 is rolled into the sheep section 20c under material displacement. The result of this is that the displaced material is arranged directly above and below the annular groove 21 and is shaped into a circular cylindrical ring collar 22 or 23. The ring collars 22 and 23 also have a circular cross section, the outer diameter di of the ring collars 22 and 23 being slightly larger than the nominal outer diameter d of the shaft section 20c and the bearing area 20d.

To assemble the suspension hook 20, it is pressed with its underside conical insertion 20e from above into the receptacle 14a of the collar 14, the plastic material of the bracket body 11 or the collar 14a being only radially expanded by the bearing area 20d and upon completion of the pushing-in movement of the suspension hook extends radially from the outside onto the bearing area 20d. Through the annular collar 22 and 23 and the annular groove 21 one Redistribution of the plastic material of the collar 14 instead of engaging in the annular groove 21 and axially securing the suspension hook 20. Since the annular groove 21 and the annular collar 22, 23 are arranged on the side of the storage area 20d facing away from the introducer 20e, the plastic material that is in contact with the outer surface of the storage area 20d in the assembled state of the suspension hook shown in FIG. 6 becomes , not impaired by the annular collars 22 and 23 or the annular groove 21, as a result of which defined press fits between the plastic material and the bearing area 20d can be achieved. As shown in FIG. 6, in the assembled state of the suspension hook, the annular groove lies in the area or just above the upper wall 12a of the middle part 12 of the bracket body 11.

FIG. 7 shows a further development of the embodiment according to FIG. 6 and differs from it only in that the collar 14, in its upper section protruding upwards from the central part 12 of the bracket body 11, has an outer tensioning element in the form of a top section Clamping cap 15 is surrounded, which preferably consists of steel or plastic and applies a radially inward bias to the plastic material of the collar 14 in the upper region and thereby stabilizes it.

In the exemplary embodiments shown so far, the bracket body comes into direct contact with the lateral surface of the bearing area 20d. In the embodiment according to FIG. 8, a modification thereof is in the receptacle 14a of the collar

14 inserted holding member 16 hen vorgese ^¬ in the form of a jack. The socket 16 has projections 16b on the outside, which engage in a form-fitting manner with the surrounding material of the collar 14, as a result of which the socket 16 is fixed in the collar 14 of the bracket body 11. The socket 16 has its on the other hand, a receptacle 16a formed by a vertical bore, into which the lower end of the suspension hook 20 is pressed in the aforementioned manner. The rotational resistance of the suspension hook 20 is essentially determined by the interference fit between the outer surface of the bearing area 20d of the suspension hook 20 and the material of the bushing 16 which is in contact therewith. By using the bushing 16, it is possible to produce it from a high-quality plastic, for example polycarbonate, while the bracket body 11 can be made from a less expensive plastic, for example a recycling material.

In all the exemplary embodiments mentioned, the bracket body 11 has a C-profile which is open at the bottom, at least in its central part 12. According to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 9, 10 and 11, a holding part in the form of a receiving part 17 is provided, the dimensions of which are adapted to the shape of the C-profile of the bracket body 11, so that it is essentially free of play the

Interior of the C-profile of the bracket body 11 can be used, as shown in Fig. 11. On its upper side facing the collar 14, the receiving part 17 has a receptacle 17a formed by a blind hole. To assemble the suspension hook, it is pressed with its lower insertion 20e from above through the receptacle 14a of the collar 14 and pushed through it so far that the storage area 20d protrudes at least partially on the underside of the collar 14 and into the interior of the middle part 12 of the collar 14 Temple body 11 protrudes. The receiving part 17 with its receptacle 17a is then pressed onto the protruding lower end of the hanging hook 20, as a result of which the wall of the receptacle 17a is widened. The assembled state is shown in Fig. 10. The axial securing of the suspension hook is essentially due to the In the area of the collar 14, the annular groove 21 of the suspension hook 20 is determined, while the rotational resistance of the suspension hook is essentially determined by the friction between the bearing area 20d and the inner wall of the receptacle 17a of the receptacle part 17, which is secured against rotation in the middle part 12 of the bracket body 11 is held. The material selection of the receiving part 17 allows the rotational resistance of the suspension hook to be changed and adapted with a relatively small amount of material, without the entire bracket body having to consist of a high-quality and therefore expensive plastic material.
