FR2859366A1 - Coat hanger with bar and clamps for skirts or pants has asymmetric clamps located mainly to one side of bar to take up less space on rail - Google Patents

Abstract

The hanger consists of a straight bar (7) with a hook for suspending it from a rail and a pair of clamps for attaching a skirt or a pair of pants. Each clamp is made from two assembled and spring-loaded metal halves (1, 2) that are attached to the bar by folded U-shaped lugs (3, 4) with holes (5, 6). The lugs on opposite clamp halves are of different sizes, so that the clamps are located mainly to one side of the hanger's vertical axis (A - A').

Description

Clamp hanger devices for trousers or skirts, comprising

  clamps arranged transversely on a bar provided with a hook, all have the disadvantage of having a large footprint at the clamps which operate as a lever arm on the bar. Since each clamp is equipped with two arms that pivot in support on both sides

  of the bar, the overall thickness of such a hanger corresponds to the thickness of the hanger bar plus the thickness of each clamp arm at its point of attachment to the bar.

  As a result, the density of the clothing that is placed on the in-store racks, in the packaging boxes, on the clothing lines and in the trucks specially equipped for the transport of clothes on hangers, is not optimized. and this results in significant additional costs in packaging and transport.

  The present invention proposes to reduce the overall thickness of this type of hanger.

  The device of the invention comprises asymmetric clamp arms which are both placed substantially on the same side of the hanger bar. As a result, the overall thickness of the clip hanger substantially corresponds to the thickness of the bar and a single clamp arm at its point of attachment to the bar.

  The invention will be illustrated by the accompanying drawings: FIG. 1 is an exploded view of a metal clip hanger, depending on the device.

  Figure 2 shows a perspective view of these clamps assembled on the bar hanger.

  Figure 3 shows an exploded plastic gripper hanger, according to the device.

  Figure 4 shows a perspective view of these plastic clamps assembled on the bar hanger.

  According to FIG. 1, the device consists on the one hand of gripper arms (1) whose central part comprises large U-shaped lateral folds (3), at the end of which recesses ( 5) adapted to the section of the bar of the hanger (7), and secondly, of the clamp arms (2) whose central portion has lateral folds of smaller size in the form of a U (4), at the base of which are arranged recesses (6) adapted to the section of the bar hanger.

  According to Figure 2, the clamp arms (1) and (2) are slidably and pivotably attached to the bar of the hanger (7). Due to the asymmetry of the lateral folds and the different positioning of the two recesses (5) and (6), the clamp arms (1) and (2) are attached eccentrically to the bar of the hanger, and the clamp arms ( 2) clear the front plane AA ', tangential to the bar of the hanger. The lower ends of the clamp arms (1) and (2) are held tight by the effect of a leaf spring or a pin spring positioned between the clamp arms. The lateral folds (3) are placed outside the lateral folds (4) of the clamp arms (2) to pivot at the recesses (5) on the bar of the hanger (7). comprises, on the one hand, clamp arms (1) which have U-shaped lateral folds (3), at the end of which are arranged open recesses (5) adapted to the section of the bar of the hanger, and on the other hand, clamp arms (2) whose central part comprises U-shaped lateral folds (4), at the base of which are arranged recesses (6) adapted to the section of the bar of the hanger.

  A rib (8) placed above the recesses (5) allows the clamp arm (1) to pivot on the non-pivoting clamp arm (2) while a clamping rib (9) is placed underneath. recesses (5) and allows the leaf spring to keep the lower ends of the clamp arms (1) and (2) tight.

  According to Figure 4, the non-pivoting clamp arms (2) are slidably but non-pivotally attached to the bar of the hanger projecting as little as possible from the plane AA 'tangential to the bar of the hanger, while the pivoting clamp arms (1 ) are fixed eccentrically with respect to the bar of the hanger, resting on the non-pivoting clamp arm (2). The lateral folds (3) are placed between the lateral folds (4) of the clamp arms (2) to pivot on the clamp arm (2) at the level of the ramp (8) placed above the recesses (5). . The inverted U-shaped leaf spring holds the clamp arm (1) sliding on the bar of the hanger and pivoting on the clamp arm (2).

  The device according to the invention makes it possible to significantly reduce the overall width of the clip hanger since the front plane AA 'of the bar is practically unencumbered by the presence of one of the clamp arms. A higher density of hanger can thus be placed on the carriers, in the packing boxes and in the trucks specially equipped for the transport of clothes on hangers.
