Description

The invention relates to an accessory holder for grouping and storing clothing accessories such as more particularly belts.

Belts or other accessories of the same type differ in their shapes, colors and the materials from which they are made. A person can have a certain number of them, typically several tens to allow multiple assortments with the clothes. When many belts are stored loose in a drawer, for example, it becomes quite difficult to untangle them to choose the right one. The user therefore loses a lot of time to make his choice. The invention solves this problem.

More particularly, the invention therefore relates to an accessory holder for storing clothing accessories such as belts, characterized in that it comprises a bar comprising over substantially its entire length a plurality of attachment means arranged side by side. -side.

Preferably, the attachment means are materialized by loops extending at the lower part of the bar.

Thus, each belt is attached to a buckle and hangs naturally below the bar. The belts are therefore grouped together and arranged parallel to each other and side by side, so that it becomes easy to differentiate them and choose the one that is suitable. Storage takes up little space. The bar can be installed in a piece of furniture, for example on the back of a cabinet door. However, according to an advantageous characteristic, the accessory holder according to the invention has the general shape of a coat rack, said bar being provided with a hook. In this way, all belts can be stored in a wardrobe, just like other clothes.

The invention will be better understood and other advantages thereof will appear better in the light of the following description of several accessory holders conforming to its principle, given solely by way of example and made with reference to the accompanying drawings in which - Figure 1 is a perspective view of an accessory holder according to the invention; - Figure 2 is a partial view in section II-II of Figure 1, showing the mounting of the loops - Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 1, illustrating a variant - Figure 4 is a detail view illustrating mounting an adapter for a particular type of belt; and - Figure 5 is a detail view along arrow V in Figure 4.

In Figures 1 and 2, ie the accessory holder 11 shown mainly comprises a straight strip 12, here in the form of an elongated rectangular parallelepiped, carrying a plurality of hooking means extending side by side under the strip. In the example described, the hooking means are loops 13.

As shown in Figure 2, said loops 13 are made from the same flexible cord 14, passed through holes 15, parallel, of the bar.

In this case, the cord or thong must have a section in relation to that of the holes so that the friction between said cord and the interior surface of each hole is sufficient; in this way, the loops 13 can not tighten and all remain substantially equal to each other. At the ends of the bar, the cord 14 can be immobilized by a knot or any retaining element tightened on said cord.

As shown, each belt 16 is attached to a loop 13 thanks to its own closure loop 18.

The bar can be provided with any mounting means enabling it to be fixed to a support, such as, for example, the interior of a cabinet door or another part of furniture. However and preferably, the accessory holder is completed by a hook 17 fixed in the middle of the bar 12, which gives it the general shape of a coat rack.

The model shown can include a wooden or synthetic bar, the hook can be made of iron or another more or less luxurious alloy, possibly gilded. In the case of a widely distributed product, it may be preferable to use a plastic bar molded on the attachment means. In the case where these are formed by a cord, as shown, the loops are then stabilized by molding the bar.

In the embodiment of Figure 3, the hook 17a is adjustable positioning along said strip. More particularly, said hook 17a is fixed to a tube 19 slidably mounted on a rod 20 fixed to the bar and extending parallel to the latter. In this way, the position of the hook can be adjusted along the bar so that the latter remains substantially horizontal in the wardrobe, whatever the number of belts attached to it and their locations along the bar.

In Figures 4 and 5 there is shown an adapter 20, leather or semi-rigid plastic or similar material, allowing to hang a particular type of belt. Indeed, on certain belts, in particular for women, the conventional buckle is replaced by a metal clasp 22 provided with a fixed head 23 with an enlarged end.

The adapter is shaped to be connected to one of the attachment means of the accessory holder, that is to say to one of the loops 13 and thus allow to fix such a type of belt. To do this, the adapter has a hole 24a and / or a slot 24b capable of receiving the fixed head 23 of the clasp, as shown. More specifically, the adapter comprises a connection ring 25 radically extended by a tongue 26. The hole 24a and / or the slot 24b are made in this tongue. The latter also makes it possible to stabilize the connection of the ring 25 to the loop 13, as shown in FIG. 5.

The device described above may be suitable or suitable for grouping and storing other types of accessories, for example ties.
