Definitions

  • the invention relates to a transporting clip for clothing according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such carriers are used in laundry and cleaning operations for transporting the garments to be cleaned between the individual processing stations. They usually have a provided with a hanger hook housing in which two hinged arms are arranged. Within the housing, a locking mechanism for holding the hanger arms in an unfolded position and an actuating mechanism for automatically folding the hanger arms are arranged. In many cases, such transport bars are also equipped with an additional retaining clip for holding a pair of pants or the like.
  • a generic transporting hanger which contains two hinged and hinged arms and an additional retaining clip with two mutually prestressed clamp halves.
  • a first actuating member is provided in this known transport bracket, which cooperates via a toggle mechanism with the retaining clip.
  • This actuator is designed such that it projects between the two clamp halves.
  • this first actuator must be pressed by the garment to be clamped upwards, whereby the toggle mechanism is moved over its dead center and thereby the retaining clip is closed.
  • a second actuator is provided which is movable transversely to the first actuator.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a transporting hanger of the type mentioned, in which the retaining clip simply closed by hand and can be quickly opened again when needed without much effort and without folding the hanger arms.
  • the retaining clip can be easily closed by hand by squeezing the two clamp halves. Even if a garment in the retaining clip has not been properly tensioned, the retaining clip can be opened by simply depressing the trigger without simultaneously folding in the bow arms.
  • Another significant advantage of the transporting hanger according to the invention is that both the unlocking of the hanger arms and the opening of the retaining clip takes place via a single common release. When the trigger is pressed into a first position, the retaining clip first opens while the bail arms remain unfolded. Only when the trigger is pressed further down, the two arms are folded. There are no separate actuators for the retaining clip and the bracket arms required. As a result, the transport bracket with less parts can be made easily and inexpensively.
  • the retaining clip can be opened without much effort.
  • the retaining clip may e.g. be opened with a finger pressure if necessary, while the other hand remains free to hold a pair of pants or a skirt.
  • the locking part of the trigger on outer locking surfaces for holding the two bracket arms in the unfolded position and a crosspiece for holding the two clamp halves in the closed position.
  • the two clamp halves can be mounted pivotable about a common axis of rotation within the housing. But the two clamp halves can also be arranged pivotable about their own axes of rotation.
  • the clamp halves are provided at their above the transverse pin lying upper ends with inwardly facing locking lugs.
  • the Verrieglungs teil an opening for the engagement of the locking lugs when the retaining clip is open and a lower crossbar to rest the locking lugs in the closed retaining clip.
  • the hanger arms are made without breakthroughs made of plastic. In contrast to the wire arms bent arms so snagging the garments can be prevented within the hanger arms.
  • an inventive transport bracket is shown in different positions.
  • the transport bracket includes a housing 1, in the two bracket arms 2 are arranged pivotably about a respective pin or pin 3.
  • the housing 1 consists in the embodiment shown of two housing halves 4 and 5, which are connected by screws or the like. With each other.
  • the two housing halves 4 and 5 can also be glued or welded together.
  • On the upper side of the housing 1 is an upwardly projecting - dashed lines - hanger hook 6 is arranged, which serves for hooking the transporting hanger in a conveying or transporting device.
  • the hanger hook 6 is bent from a steel wire and fixed with its lower end within the housing 1.
  • a retaining clip 7 for clamping pants, skirts or the like. Arranged.
  • the retaining clip 7 consists of two clamp halves 8 and 9, which are mounted in the housing 1 about a transverse axis of rotation 10 against each other pivotally.
  • the two clamp halves 8 and 9 each comprise inwardly projecting locking lugs 11 and 12 at their upper ends located above the axis of rotation 10 and into corresponding openings 13 and 14 in the two housing halves 4 and 5 intervention.
  • the function of the locking lugs 11 and 12 will be explained in more detail below.
  • lower ends of the clamp halves 8 and 9 are made of spring steel existing strip-shaped spring plates 15 and 16 which have at their lower ends of plastic or metal holding elements 17 and 18.
  • the two clamp halves 8 and 9 with the respective spring plates 15 and 17 are arranged such that the holding elements 17 and 18 are pressed against each other with closed retaining clip 7 and spring pressure. As a result, the required holding force is achieved.
  • a spring 19 designed here as a torsion spring is arranged, through which the two clamp halves 8 and 9 are acted upon in an opening direction.
  • an actuating mechanism for holding the two hanger arms 2 in its unfolded position and for folding the hanger arms 2 and opening the retaining clip 7 is provided.
  • the actuating mechanism includes a shutter 20 slidably guided within the housing 1, which widened a lower one Has locking member 21 and one of the housing 1 upwardly projecting slimmer actuator with a widened web 22 at the upper end.
  • a compression spring 24 is arranged, through which the trigger 20 is acted upon upwards.
  • the compression spring 24 lies with its lower end on a support web 25, which is formed by two inwardly projecting lugs on the two housing halves 4 and 5. The upper end of the compression spring 24 abuts an upper surface of the recess 23.
  • the wider locking part 21 of the trigger 20 has a rectangular opening 26 for the engagement of the two locking lugs 11 and 12 with the retaining clip 7 open and a lower transverse web 27 for engaging the locking lugs 11 and 12 with the retaining clip 7 closed.
  • the two yoke arms 2 have at their disposed within the housing 1 ends lower projections 28 which reach in the unfolded and locked position of the hanger arms 2 to rest against outer locking surfaces 29 of the locking member 21 of the trigger 20. Above the projections 28 2 inwardly facing lugs 30 are provided on the bow arms, which are in engagement with a leg of a respective leaf spring 31. By the two accommodated within the housing 1 leaf springs 31, the two bracket arms 2 are pressed down in the folding direction.
  • the transport bracket is shown with unfolded bracket arms 2 and open retaining clip 7.
  • the trigger 20 is pressed in such a way that the two locking lugs 11 and 12 of the clamp halves 8 and 9 engage in the opening 26 of the trigger 20 and thereby the two clamp halves 8 and 9 are pressed by the spring 19 in the open position.
  • the projections 28 of the two hanger arms 2 bear against the outer locking surfaces 29 of the trigger 20, whereby the two hanger arms 2 are held in their unfolded position.
  • the two clamp halves 8 and 9 at their lower ends e.g. be squeezed by hand.
  • the two locking lugs 11 and 12 are moved apart, as shown in Figure 2.
  • the locking lugs 11 and 12 release the transverse web 27 of the trigger 20, so that the trigger 20 can move upwards under the action of the force of the compression spring 24.
  • the two locking lugs 11 and 12 are held in the depressed position and thus the retaining clip 7 in the closed position.
  • the two holding elements 17 and 18 are pressed under spring tension against each other, so that a garment can be safely held.
  • the two yoke arms 2 bear with their inner projections 28 on the outer locking surfaces 29 of the trigger 20, so that in the position shown in Figure 2, the two bracket arms 2 are locked in the extended position ,
  • FIG. 4 shows a further exemplary embodiment of a transporting hanger.
  • This embodiment differs from the first embodiment substantially only by the arrangement of the compression spring 24 and the clamp halves 8 and 9. Therefore, the corresponding components are also provided with the same reference numerals.
  • the two clamp halves 8 and 9 are not on a common axis of rotation, but on each own rotary axes 32 and 33 rotatably mounted.
  • the clamp halves 8 and 9 are also biased by a respective arranged on the respective axis of rotation 32 and 33 torsion spring 34 and 35 in the opening direction.
  • the compression spring 24 is clamped between a lower housing-fixed support web 36 and the transverse web 27 of the trigger 20. As a result, the overall height of the transport bracket can be reduced.
