Abstract

The washing line especially for hanging underpants has, in the middle of the hanging line (1) hooks (2), and on the outer end of both support lines (1a,b) there are shaped grippers (3). On the inner space (7) of the connection part (6) there is a guide bridge (8) which reduces the free space in the inner room. The collar (15) for the clamp of the underpants (14) is held in the right-angled longitudinal extension of the support one pillow. In the inner space of the connection part, an outer guide stairs is situated on the external guide stairs so that between this and the first inner guide stairs there is a 1-2mm clearance (21). The clearance between the inner guide stairs (8) and the external guide stairs (9) is small.

Description:
Clothes hanger

The invention relates to a clothes hanger, in particular for holding underpants, briefs and the like, with a carrying hook arranged in the middle of the carrying hanger and clamps formed on the outer ends of the two carrying hanger halves, which are composed of an abutment part stiffened by a web wall of the carrying hanger, which has a double T-shaped cross-section, and a springy tongue pointing essentially downwards, which is connected to the abutment part via a U-shaped or %-ring-shaped connecting part, wherein the connecting part is more than 50%, preferably 100%, thicker than the thickness of the lower belt or upper belt of the carrying hanger and is exposed over an angular range of at least 90° and has a curvature diameter of at least 6 mm.

So that the spring tongue can open relatively wide on the one hand, but also exert a sufficiently large clamping force on the other, the U-shaped or ring-shaped connecting part is considerably larger in cross-section than the cross-section of the upper chord or lower chord of the double-T-shaped support bracket. The accumulation of material ensures that when the plastic bracket, which is manufactured using the injection molding process, cools down, the spring tongue rests against its abutment with pre-tension.

The U-shaped or ring-shaped connecting part has a relatively large curvature diameter and is exposed over an angular range of at least 90°, so that when the spring tongue is opened in this area the connecting part is bent open.

Due to the relatively large radius of curvature, the free interior space of the connecting part is also relatively large. This has the disadvantage that a waistband of underpants or briefs inserted into the spring clips is not held properly in the upper area.

The invention is based on the task of designing the clothes hanger described above in such a way that underpants and briefs are held very accurately in the clothes hanger.

This is achieved according to the invention in that an inner guide web is arranged in the interior of the connecting part, which reduces the free space in the interior so that the waistband of a pair of underpants inserted into the clamps is held essentially at right angles to the longitudinal extension of the support bracket.

Advantageously, an outer guide bar is also arranged in the interior of the connecting part, which leaves a gap of approximately 1 to 2 mm between itself and the inner guide bar. The inner guide bar and the outer guide bar are approximately 1 to a maximum of 2 mm thick and are arranged in the middle of the approximately 5 mm thick connecting part.

The gap between the inner guide bar and the outer guide bar can be straight and essentially at right angles to the length of the support bracket. However, this gap can also be wavy or in the form of a rounded zigzag line.

The U-shaped or %-ring-shaped connecting part is located in the upper part of the carrying handle. At about the same height on the carrying handle there are clamps whose springy tongues are directed towards the carrying hook. The straps of bras, undershirts, etc. can be clamped into these clamps.

Further features of the invention emerge from the following description, in which two embodiments of the invention are explained in more detail with reference to the drawings. The drawings show in

Fig. 1 is a side view of the clothes hanger according to the invention,
Fig. 2 is a side view of a second embodiment of the clothes hanger according to the invention,

Fig. 3 is a view along section line III-III in Fig. 2.

Fig. 1 shows a plastic clothes hanger with a double-T-shaped cross-section, a web wall 11, an upper chord 12 and a lower chord 13. The upper chord 12 and lower chord 13 merge into one another at the abutment part 4. The upper chord 12 also encloses the label field 18 arranged in the middle of the support hanger 1 and the support hook 2.

Clamps 3 are formed on the outer ends of the two support bracket halves 1a and 1b, which consist of the abutment part 4 rigidly connected to the support bracket 1 and the resilient tongue 5, which is connected via a U-shaped or ³ A- ring-shaped connecting part 6.

In order to reduce the free space in the interior 7 of the connecting part 6, inner guide webs 8 are arranged in the interior 7, which - as Fig. 1 shows - ensure that the waistband 15 of a pair of underpants 14 inserted into the clamps 3 is held essentially at a right angle to the longitudinal extension of the carrying bracket 1. Opposite the inner guide webs 8, outer guide webs 9 are formed on the springy tongues 5, which leave a gap 21 between themselves and the inner guide webs, which is approximately 1 mm wide.

In the embodiment according to Fig. 2, the gap 21 is wave-shaped.
