Definitions

  • the invention relates to a clothes hanger with a hanger body designed as a hollow profile, on which a suspension hook is attached, and with two clamping arms inserted into the hanger body and displaceable relative to the latter, each of which is under the action of a spring element urging it outwards against a limit stop, and each have a clamping arm body with a C-profile and an extension section arranged at the inner end of the clamping arm body and extending in the longitudinal direction of the clamping arm, the clamping arm bodies facing each other with the open side of their C-profile and the extension sections of the two clamping arms being arranged in such a way, that they pass next to each other during the tensioning movement of the tensioning arms, and each spring element is held on the one hand on the bracket body and on the other hand on the extension section of the respective tensioning arm.
  • Such hangers are known as so-called tensioners and are used in particular for hanging up skirts and similar items of clothing by inserting them into the waistband of the skirt.
  • the tensioning arms which are pre-tensioned on the outside, lie against the waistband of the skirt and tension it.
  • a tension coat hanger usually has a central hanger body, in the center axis of which a hanging hook is attached.
  • the bracket body is usually designed as a hollow profile, for example as a U-profile open at the bottom, into which the clamping arms are inserted from opposite sides.
  • the tensioning arms are displaceably guided in the hollow profile and it is prevented by means of a limit stop that the tensioning arms can be excessively pushed out or pulled out of the bracket body.
  • a spring element for example a spiral spring or an endless rubber band, etc., is arranged inside the bracket body, which acts on the tensioning arms in their outwardly protruding limit position, in which they protrude as far as possible from the bracket body and rest against the limit stop.
  • a tensioning clothes hanger in which the tensioning arm body of each tensioning arm is provided with an extension section which extends in the longitudinal direction.
  • the spring element is on the one hand on the bracket body and on the other hand on Extension section held so that a relatively long span is achieved. This is also made possible by the fact that the extension sections of the two clamping arms run alongside one another during the inward clamping movement.
  • the coil springs serving as spring elements extend side by side below the tension arms.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a hanger of the type mentioned, which has a compact structure and the tension arms have a large span.
  • extension sections also have a C-profile and with their open sides facing one another, that the spring elements are each arranged within the C-profile of the respective tension arm and in relation to one another in height are offset so that they pass one above the other during the tensioning movement of the tensioning arms, that the height of the extension section is less than the height of the tensioning arm body and that during the tensioning movement the extension sections run within the C-profile of the tensioning arm body of the respective other tensioning arm.
  • extension sections run past one another during the tensioning movement of the tensioning arms, it can be achieved that the inner fastening point of the spring element arranged on the extension section is displaced during the inward movement of the tensioning arm into the half of the bracket body assigned to the other tensioning arm.
  • the clamping movement is therefore essentially limited only by the dimensions of the clamping arm and not by the arrangement of the spring element.
  • a very large span range can be covered with the clothes hanger, with the result that a large number of different sizes of the items of clothing can be securely spanned with a clothes hanger.
  • the tensioning arm body and the extension section each have a C-shaped profile.
  • the tension arm body and the extension sections of the tension arm are each arranged with the open sides of their C-profiles to the central plane of the bracket body, ie facing each other. In this way, between the webs of the C-profiles the two clamping arms formed an intermediate space in which the spring elements are arranged and received.
  • the spring element can be either an elastic band or a spiral spring.
  • the inner end of the spring element engages the extension section of the tensioning arm.
  • a hook for hanging the spring element can be provided, for example, on the inside of the web of the C-profile of the extension section.
  • the spring element With its outer end, the spring element is on the bracket body, preferably in its end region, i.e. held at or near the free end of the bracket body.
  • the spring elements of the two clamping arms are offset from one another in height, so that they run over one another during the clamping movement of the clamping arms. This is particularly useful when using spiral springs, since the cross section of the spiral spring can be adapted to the leg distance of the U-profile of the bracket body, whereby the spring is guided. Due to the height offset of the spring elements, the thickness of the hanger body and thus the hanger can be kept small and the structure can be kept compact.
  • the C-profile of the clamping arm body can essentially correspond to the internal dimensions of the hollow profile of the bracket body, ie the web height of the C-profile essentially corresponds to the height of the hollow profile, while the flange or apex width of the C-profile corresponds to the width corresponds to the hollow profile. So that the extension sections of the tensioning arms can run past each other, however, they have to be made smaller. In a preferred embodiment of the invention it is provided that the web of the tension arm body and the web of the extension section merge smoothly into one another, but the height of the extension section or its web height is less than the height of the tension arm body.
  • the width of the legs or flanges of the C-profile of the extension sections can correspond to half the width of the legs of the C-profile of the clamping arm body or half the width of the hollow profile of the bracket body, as a result of which they are in mutual contact and can support one another.
  • the leg or flange width can, however, also be smaller than half the width of the hollow profile of the bracket body.
  • the cross section of the extension section is designed according to the invention in such a way that the extension section of one clamping arm runs in the C-profile of the clamping arm body of the other clamping arm during the inward-directed clamping movement, where it is optionally guided through this.
  • the length of the tension arm body corresponds essentially to half the length of the bracket body, so that the tension arm body of both tension arms can be completely inserted into the bracket body.
  • the extension sections should have the greatest possible length in order to be able to cover a large span range in this way, on the other hand their length is limited by the dimensions of the bracket body, since they must not protrude from the bracket body when inserted. According to the invention, it is therefore preferably provided that the length of the extension section corresponds approximately to half the length of the bracket body.
  • the bracket body can have a completely closed hollow profile or a U-profile open at the bottom, the latter being favorable in terms of production technology.
  • the legs of the U-profile are connected to one another at the ends of the bracket body via a crossbar.
  • the crosspiece it is possible for the crosspiece to form the limit stop which defines the outer clamping position of the clamping arm and against which a projection formed on the underside of the clamping arm abuts.
  • a corresponding guide device can be provided on the bracket body in a preferred embodiment of the invention. It has proven useful to provide these in the area of the ends of the bracket body.
  • the guide device can preferably have a projection which is arranged on the inside of a leg of the bracket body and which forms guide intermediate spaces for the tensioning arm with the bracket body.
  • the projection which can be designed as an inwardly projecting cross-sectional reinforcement of a leg of the U-profile of the bracket body, has a lower height than the bracket body.
  • an intermediate space is formed between the upper edge of the projection and the base of the U-profile on the one hand and between the underside of the projection and the crossbar on the other hand, the width of which essentially corresponds to the thickness of the legs of the C-profile of the clamping arm body .
  • the intermediate spaces thus form guide passages for the C-profile of the tension arm body.
  • the legs of the U-profile are connected to one another in the central region of the stirrup body by means of a rib.
  • the rib can serve as a stop in the fully inserted position of the tensioning arms, for example by the projection formed on the underside of the tensioning arm running against the rib.
  • Figures 1 and 2 show a hanger body 12 of a hanger according to the invention.
  • the cross-section of the bow body 12 has a U-profile which is open at the bottom and is provided on its upper side with a shoulder 19 in the central region, to which a suspension hook 11 is fastened in a known manner.
  • the two legs 13 of the U-profile of the bracket body 12 are connected to one another at their free end in the central region of the bracket body via a molded-on rib 14. At the free ends of the bracket body 12, the legs 13 are also connected to one another via transverse webs 15, so that closed profiles are provided in the end regions of the bracket body, as shown in particular in FIG.
  • an inwardly directed projection 16 in the form of a cross-sectional reinforcement is also formed on the inside of each leg 13 of the U-profile, which carries a hook 17 for hanging a spring element.
  • the height of the cross-sectional reinforcement 16 is less than the height of the leg 13, so that 16 spaces 18 are formed both above and below the cross-sectional reinforcement, which serve to guide a C-shaped clamping arm.
  • the tensioning arm 20 has a tensioning arm body 22, on the right end of which, according to FIG. 3, a tensioning skid 21 with a rock hook 25 is formed.
  • the tension arm body 22 has an essentially C-shaped cross section (FIG. 4) with a web 22b and two legs or flanges 22a.
  • the width of the legs 22a of the tension arm body 22 corresponds essentially to the mutual distance between the legs 13 of the U-profile of the bracket body 12.
  • a projection 26 serving as a stop is formed on the underside of the lower leg 22a.
  • the tension arm body 22 is connected at its inner end, i.e. 3 to the left end of an extension section 23, which also has a C-shaped cross section (Figure 5).
  • the extension section 23 has a web 23b and two legs 23a.
  • the height of the extension section 23 corresponds essentially to the distance between the inner sides of the legs 22a of the tension arm body 22, while the width of its legs 23a correspond approximately to half the width of the legs 22a of the tension arm body 22 (FIG. 4).
  • the tension arm body 22 and the extension section 23 are integrally formed with one another, the webs 22b and 23b smoothly merging into one another, as can be seen in FIG. 6.
  • the legs 23a of the extension section 23 are extended to the outer end of the tension arm body 22 for reasons of stability.
  • a hook 24 for hanging a spring element is formed in the web 23b of the extension section 23.
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 show a clothes hanger 10 according to the invention, in which two tensioning arms 20 are inserted from opposite sides in the hanger body 12 according to FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • a rubber band 30 is tensioned, which serves as a spring element and acts on the tension arm 20 with an outwardly directed spring force.
  • each clamping arm 20 lies above its on the underside of the Clamping arm body 22 formed projection 26 on the transverse web 15 of the bracket body, whereby the outer clamping position is defined.
  • the hooks 17 and 24 are not at one height, but are offset in height from one another. It is thereby achieved that the rubber band 30 on the left according to FIG. 7 runs above the rubber band 30 on the right according to FIG. 7, so that the rubber bands run over one another during the clamping movement of the clamping arms.
  • FIG. 8 shows that the tensioning arms 20 are inserted into the bracket body in such a way that the open sides of their C-profiles point towards the center plane of the bracket body or face one another. Since the extension sections 23 are arranged off-center, they can run past one another in the inserted state of the clamping arms 20 without the clamping movement being hindered thereby. As FIG. 8 shows, the extension sections 23 have a length such that they overlap in the middle region of the bracket body even in the outer position of the clamping arms, in which they protrude as far as possible from the bracket body, and in this way support one another.
  • FIGS. 9 and 10 show a representation corresponding to FIGS. 7 and 8, but the tensioning arms 20 are displaced to a certain extent as a result of a force (not shown) acting from the outside and directed inwards.
  • FIG. 9 shows in particular how the rubber bands 30 pass one above the other due to the offset of the hooks 17 and 24 assigned to them, without interfering with one another.
  • Another Inward movement of the tensioning arms 20 leads to the extension section 23 being immersed in the cross-section of the tensioning arm body 22 of the respective other tensioning arm and being displaced therein until the end of the bracket body 12.
  • Figure 11 shows a clamping arm in its fully inserted position in the bracket body 12, only one clamping arm being shown for reasons of clarity.
  • the inner position is defined by the stop of the projection 26 on the central rib 14 of the bracket body.
  • the tension arm body 22 is located almost completely in the right half of the bracket body according to FIG. 11, while its extension section 23 projects into the other half of the bracket body or the tension arm body of the other tension arm, not shown, located there.
  • the elastic band is in its maximum tension or tension position, the tension being determined by the arrangement of the hook 24 on the extension section 23.
  • FIGS 12 and 13 show a further embodiment of a clothes hanger according to the invention, which differs from the aforementioned embodiment only in that instead of a rubber band a tension or coil spring 29 is now used.
  • the spiral spring 29 is hooked on the one hand into a hook 24 on the extension section 23 of the tensioning arm 20, while its other end is held on a hook 17 near the end cross section of the bracket body 12.
  • Figure 13 shows a cross section through a coat hanger with two tension arms inserted, which illustrates will that the springs 29 extend in the space formed between the C-profiles of the extension sections 23 passing each other, which is achieved by the vertical offset of the hooks 17 and 24 respectively.
