Definitions

  • the present invention relates to mobile garment carriers, especially for a shipping container or for an air freight container.
  • Garments are commonly transported from their country of manufacture to their country of sale or distribution in general purpose shipping containers.
  • the transportation of shipping contained may take place by land, air and/or sea.
  • a perceived problem with this arrangement is that the utility of the modified containers is compromised by the provision of the rail, which is usually a permanent fixture of the modified container. As a result, once the garments have been unloaded, it is not usually possible to put the modified container to immediate good use.
  • Another perceived problem with the conventional arrangement is the time taken to load and unload garments into the containers.
  • the containers only become available when the carrying vehicle (e.g. ship, plane, train, lorry) arrives at the loading/unloading destination.
  • the carrying vehicle e.g. ship, plane, train, lorry
  • one aspect of the invention provides a garment carrier adapted to fit within a transportation container, the carrier comprising a support frame being comprised of a plurality of support frame components; and at least one hanger rail connectable to said support frame, wherein the carrier is operable between an assembled state, in which said support frame components are interconnected to form said support frame, said support frame defining a storage region for garments, and said at least one hanger rail being connected to said support frame and extend substantially across said storage region, and a disassembled state, in which at least some of said support frame components and hanger rails are disconnected from one another to allow said disconnected components and hanger rails to be stacked upon each other such that said storage region is substantially eliminated.
  • the invention provides a garment carrier adapted to fit within a transportation container, the carrier comprising a support frame; one or more hanger rails; and at least one wheel arranged to facilitate movement of the carrier with respect to ground.
  • the support frame is generally rectangular in cross-section and comprises two opposing side-frames, said one or more hanger rails being supported, in use, between said opposing side frames.
  • the carrier comprises at least three wheels which, conveniently, may be fixed, or mountable, to one or other of the side frames.
  • the carrier comprises at least one adjustable abutment member being extendible outwardly with respect to the support frame. More preferably, the carrier comprises at least one adjustable abutment member on either side of at least one set of opposing sides of the support frame. Preferably, the carrier includes at least one adjustable abutment member on the base of the support frame.
  • the carrier includes at least one fixed abutment member projecting outwardly from the support frame.
  • the carrier includes a lifting mechanism comprising at least one rail coupled to the base of the carrier and movable between a deployed state and a retracted state. In the deployed state, the lifting mechanism lifts the at least one wheel off a ground surface.
  • the lifting mechanism is preferably coupled to the base of the carrier by means of a pivo table linkage mechanism comprising, for example, two or more linkage members pivotably connected to each of the rail and the base of the carrier.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a mobile garment carrier embodying the invention:
  • Figure 2 A is a perspective view of a first component of the carrier of Figure 1;
  • Figure 2B is a perspective view of second component of the carrier of Figure 1;
  • Figure 2C is a perspective view of a third component of the carrier of Figure 1;
  • Figure 3 shows in side view a transport container loaded with eight garment carriers as shown in Figure 1 ;
  • Figure 4 shows a perspective view of part of a garment carrier including a lifting mechanism
  • Figure 5 is a perspective view of an alternative embodiment of a mobile garment carrier
  • Figure 6 is a side view of the mobile garment carrier of Figure 5;
  • Figure 7 is an end view of the mobile garment carrier of Figure 5;
  • Figure 8 is a plan view of the mobile garment carrier of Figure 5;
  • Figures 9 and 10 show perspective views of respective suspension mechanisms for use with the wheels of garment carriers embodying the invention
  • Figures 11 and 12 show perspective views of respective alternative hanger rail configurations
  • Figure 13 shows a perspective view an alternative mechanism for connecting the rail supports to the uprights
  • Figure 14 shows a plan view of the upright shown in Figure 13;
  • Figure 15 shows a side view of an alternative rail support.
  • the carrier 10 comprises a support frame 12 which includes two opposing end or side frames 14, 16.
  • the side frames 14, 16 are generally or substantially rectangular and are comprised of a respective spaced-apart upper cross-piece 18, 20 and lower cross-piece 22, 24 and a respective spaced-apart left upright 26, 28 and right upright 30, 32.
  • the side frames 14, 16 are joined to one another at their respective lower cross-pieces 22, 24 by two spaced apart base supports 34, 36.
  • Four spaced-apart hanger rails 38 are provided between the opposing side frames 14, 16, conveniently connected between the respective upper cross-pieces 18, 20.
  • the upper cross-pieces 18, 20 are arranged to project beyond the locations where the outermost hanger rails 38 join with the upper cross-pieces 18, 20.
  • the respective projecting portion of the upper cross-pieces form abutment members which, in the preferred embodiment are fixed and provided with a respective abutment plate 40.
  • the left and right uprights 26, 28 and 30, 32, the base supports 34, 36 and the hanger rails 38 are made from rigid material, preferably metal e.g. steel or aluminium, of substantially rectangular cross-section.
  • the upper and lower cross-pieces 18, 20 and 22, 24, which are also preferably made from metal, are conveniently L-shaped in cross-section in order to facilitate fixing the base supports and hanger rails thereto.
  • the abutments 40 may be extendible and retractable in an in use substantially horizontal direction.
  • the carrier 10 also includes a set of wheels 42.
  • the wheels may take any suitable conventional form and may be mounted to the carrier 10 in any suitable conventional fashion. It is preferred that the wheels 42 are able to pivot, or swivel, during use (at least about an axis that is substantially parallel with the uprights, or which is substantially vertical during use) and, to this end, it is convenient to use castors or similar wheels such as may be found on, for example, furniture or trolleys.
  • the carrier 10 further includes a plurality of adjustable abutment members which, in Figures 1 and 2, take the form of adjustable feet 44.
  • the feet 44 are extendible outwardly of the support frame 12 (downwardly as viewed in Figure 1) by any suitable conventional means including screw and thread arrangements or telescopic means.
  • Each foot 44 is moveable between a retracted state, in which it extends from the support frame 12 less than the outermost portion of the respective adjacent wheel 42, and an extended state, in which it projects from the support frame 12 further than the outermost portion of the respective adjacent wheel 42.

Typically, garments are fitted onto conventional individual garment hangers (not shown) or onto conventional multi-garment racks/hangers (not shown), which hangers are suspended from one or other of the hanger rails 38. Once the carrier 10 is loaded, it may be wheeled (with the feet 44 in the retracted state) into a shipping, or transport, container (not shown in Figure 1).
