Description

    OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention relates to a hanger for exhibition panel, which obvious purpose is the constitution of hanging means for items or products exhibited to the public, for the public to be able to grab them from the hanger itself.
  • The object of the invention is to obtain a hanger incorporating a front closing element thereof to prevent the exhibited items from accidentally slipping out, and which closing element in turns constitutes a price holder.
    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • It is known that certain items or products, such as the majority of hardware items and others, are exhibited in vertical panels provided with multiple horizontal holes or slots for elements such as hooks, nuts, etc. to be hanged in any position desired on the panels in question with different configurations, the existence of at least one horizontal rod projected forward being the common denominator, such that the objects or items to be exhibited hang on said rod or rods, if there are more than one. Said objects or items to be exhibited are generally individual blister-type packages having a hole or slot to pass the rod or rods through and remain suspended from the same.
  • These hangers usually have a U-shaped configuration, that is to say, they are close at their front end, or end in a "T", such that there is a kind of clamp or another similar fastening element on said front end area to hold the identification label of the corresponding item or product and the price thereof.
  • An example of hanger can be found in US 2004/0139641 A1 . The problem is that the exhibition hanger comes on its own and the price holder and/or the product identification label must be affixed to the same.
  • Another problem is that known hangers, even those constituted by two rods or by a double bar, lack stopping means to avoid the frontal extraction of the products when this is not desired, that is to say, to avoid the products from accidentally slipping out through the front part, which usually occurs quite frequently.
  • Another problem is that when there are few items or products on the support, these products or items occupy the rearmost or rear position, which means greater discomfort during the extraction thereof.
    • DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • The hanger for exhibition panel being described herein has been conceived to solve the aforementioned problems, such that, based on an element or body having hooking means to the corresponding panel and with a front rod or a double rod as hanging means of the items or products to be exhibited, it presents the particularity that, in correspondence to the rear part of the body from which the anchoring elements from which the rod is projected are projected, there is a vertical slot wherein a piece extending forward forming an arm reaching the length of the rod itself is introduced as a plug-in, said arm ending in a cylindrical and transverse shaft at its front end according to a horizontal arrangement, to which a piece serving two functions is articulated: one as a closing element of the rod itself, and the other as a price holder element, given that said piece frontally presents a flat surface with an upper and lower groove to locate the price tag or applicable product identification, while presenting clamps or a narrowed opening on its rear part for the articulation on the horizontal and cylindrical shaft arranged frontally on the arm connected to the rear part of the hanger, specifically of the body of the hanger provided with anchoring means to the exhibition panel, while at the bottom and also through the rear face, this piece having price holding functions constitutes a type of fork coupleable to the front end of the rod, carrying out the closing thereof such that in order to open it, the price holder piece or element must be tilted upwards because additional force must be exerted given its narrowed opening, thereby preventing the products or items exhibited on the hanger to slip out through the front end thereof since the price holder piece must be intentionally tilted as provided above.
  • In addition, this articulated assembly of the piece tilting on the frontal cylindrical shaft of the arm allows stabilizing said price holder piece or element in an opening position for the same, given that exerting a slight pressure downwards on said piece is necessary for it to recover the corresponding closing position.
  • Optionally, the device may incorporate a forward and backward sliding piece on the rod of the hanger and the arm, which is driven by a spring that tends to move it constantly forward, thereby pushing all of the items suspended from the rod of the hanger forward.
    • DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
  • In order to supplement the description to be made below and with the purpose of aiding a better comprehension of the characteristics of the invention, a set of drawings representing the following in an illustrative rather than limitative manner is attached as an integral part of said description according to a preferred example of a practical embodiment thereof:
    • Figure 1.- Shows a perspective view of a hanger for exhibition panel made according to the object of the present invention.
    • Figure 2.- Shows an exploded representation corresponding to a general perspective of the hanger.
    • Figure 3.- Shows a lateral elevated view of the same hanger represented in the previous figure, showing two objects or items hanging from the same.
    • Figure 4.- Shows, finally, a plant view of the set represented in figure 1.
    PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
  • As shown in the aforementioned figures, the hanger for exhibition panel object of the invention is normally constituted from a body (1), provided in its rear part with anchoring means (2) to the corresponding exhibition panel, rack, or respective place, with the special particularity that from said body (1), a rod (3) as the hanging or suspending element of the items or products (4) to be exhibited, projects forward.
  • The rear body (1) of the hanger is provided with a vertical slot (5) wherein a wing (6) belonging to an arm (7) projected horizontally forward is housed, reaching the same length than the rod (3) itself, with the special particularity that said arm (7) incorporates a horiztonal and cylindrical shaft (8) frontally in a transverse arrangement, on which a piece (9), preferably flat, is articulated, and which front includes slots or steps (10) for the positioning and holding of a card (14) showing the identification, price, or other references of the items or products (4) exhibited, such that the articulation of said price holder piece (9) is carried out by means of clamps or narrowed opening slots (11), while it makes up a kind of fork (12) at the bottom where the front end of the rod (3) to suspend the products or items (4) to be exhibited is positioned, as clearly shown in figure 3.
  • In short, piece (9) not only holds the price or other identification features of the products or items (4) to be exhibited, but it also constitutes closing means of the front end of the rod (3) from which these products or items (4) to be exhibited are suspended, such that from the closing position shown in figure (2), that is to say, the operative position of the piece (9), in order to extract any item or product (4) from the rod (3), the manual tilting of said piece (9) must be carried out, exerting additional force according to the upwards direction indicated by the double arrow (13) represented in said figure 3, such that, by virtue of the narrowing presented by the engaging clamp or piece (11) of the shaft (8) of the arm (7), the piece (9) can occupy or remain stable in any partial opening position, enabling, as provided above, the extraction of items or products (4) with respect to the rod (3). In order to close it, the piece (9) must be tilted in the opposite direction, that is to say, downwards according to the double arrow (13), engaging the front end of the rod (3) in the fork (12) of the piece (9), in order to close the hanger and thereby prevent the items or products (4) suspended from that rod (3) to accidentally slip out and fall. This closing system also prevents the possibility of a quick extraction in the case of a robbery.
