Definitions

  • the invention relates to a distribution package for use in laying distribution of clothes on hangers, the hangers having a hook portion and a clothes hanging portion.
  • the invention also relates to a distribution parcel for laying distribution of clothes on hangers, the distribution parcel including a first and a second piece of clothing, and a distribution package.
  • Laying distribution is useful for distribution of comparably small amount of clothes. It is easy to stack a number of distribution packages one over another when the packages rest on their respective major surfaces. The fact that it is useful for comparably small amount of clothes makes it possible to use the same package all the way from the manufacturing site to the clothing store without any need for repackaging at any central distribution facility.
  • the combination of the attachment member and the associated abutment portions will effectively keep any hangers attached to respective attachment member in place and thereby also any clothing on such a hanger will be kept securely in place.
  • the fact that the distribution package is provided with a second attachment member and second abutment portions in the opposite side of the package provides a good usage of the space available, since the hangers and the portions of the clothing at the hangers typically build height significantly more than the portions of the clothes at a distance from its associated hanger.
  • the fact that the hangers will be kept in place and the clothing will be kept in place on the hangers will result in that the shape of the hangers shape will continue to support and protect the shape of the portion of the clothing wrapped around the clothes hanging portion of the hanger.
  • the abutment portions may be adapted to interact with the clothes hanging portion of the hangers in different manners depending e.g. upon different properties of the clothes that are hung on the respective hanger.
  • the abutment portions are positioned relative to the attachment member and designed relative to the hanger such that the portion of the clothes wrapped around the upper edge of the straight or inclined clothes hanging portion of the hanger is clamped between the abutment portions and the clothes hanging portion of the hanger.
  • This clamping may be provided by an interference fit between the abutment portions and hanger as such.
  • the clamping may be provided by a loose fit being smaller than the thickness of the portion of the clothing adapted to be positioned between the abutment portions and the hanger.
  • the abutment portions are positioned relative to the attachment member and designed relative to the hanger such that there is a small play, i.e. a loose fit, between the abutment portions, the hanger and the clothing on the hanger. As long as the loose fit is not large enough to allow the hanger to be detached from the attachment member, the hanger will still be prevented from moving freely in the distribution package.
  • the abutment portions are positioned relative to the attachment member and designed relative to the hanger such that a first portion of the clothes hanging portion abuts the abutment portions with an interference fit and a second portion of the clothes hanging portion abuts the abutment portions with a loose fit.
  • the first portion may e.g. be a portion close to the stem of the hook portion where there is no portion of the clothing wrapped around the hanger and the second portion may be two portions, one on either side, where there is a portion of the clothes wrapped around the hanger.
  • the first portion close to the stem of the hook abuts the abutment portions with a loose fit and a second portion, formed of two portions on either side of the first portion, abuts the abutment portions with an interference fit (interference fit as such or by a loose fit being smaller than the thickness of the clothing).
  • an interference fit interference fit as such or by a loose fit being smaller than the thickness of the clothing.
  • the abutment portions and the hanger may abut each other directly.
  • the abutment portions and the hanger may abut each other directly in a loose fit and/or interference fit.
  • the abutment portions and the hanger may abut each other indirectly, i.e. with a portion of the clothing between the abutment portions and the hanger.
  • the abutment portions and the hanger may abut each other indirectly with an interference fit (interference fit as such or by a loose fit being smaller than the thickness of the clothing) or a loose fit (remaining loose also with clothing between the abutment portion and the hanger).
  • the design may be provided with combinations of the above in respect of different portions of the abutment between the abutment portions and the hanger.
  • the different portions may have an abutment according to any of the abutment versions direct/indirect/interference/loose may.
  • a coordinate system with three orthogonal directions; a height extending between the bottom wall and top wall; a length extending between the first and second attachment members and a width extending along the extension of the clothes hanging portion of the clothes hangers.
  • the different walls or other members may be inclined relative to each other. It is however often preferred that the top and bottom walls are parallel to each other in order to facilitate stacking of a plurality of distribution packages. Likewise is it often preferred that the sidewalls extend truly orthogonal to the top and bottom walls which will render them to extend truly vertically which is beneficial in view of their load bearing capacity during stacking of a plurality of distribution packages.
  • the extension of the attachment members along the height direction may in one embodiment be such that they extend in parallel with the height direction.
  • the attachment member may be designed such that it presents a single line of interaction and positioning of the hangers in respective set of hangers.
  • the attachment member may be designed such that it presents two different lines of interaction and positioning of the hangers, e.g. depending upon if the hook is oriented in a left-hand or right-hand orientation along the width direction.
  • the two different lines may be accomplished by two separate members forming said attachment member or by a single attachment member being asymmetrically designed. Asymmetrically may e.g. be in the sense that the design along the width and length on one side of a centre line along the length is different than the design along the width and length on the other side of said centre line.
  • the attachment members extend inclined such that it extends also along the length as it extends along the height. This inclination may be continuous or step wise. With such a design, different hangers interacting with the attachment member will be offset neighbouring hangers or at least offset other hangers at a relevant distance in height.
  • the abutment portions should be correspondingly formed such that the abutment portions associated with the respective hanger fulfils the requirement that they are adapted to interact with the clothes hanging portion of respective hanger to prevent movement of the respective hanger relative the abutment portions in a direction extending from the clothes hanging portion towards the hook portion of respective hanger
  • the distribution package further comprises at least one removable intermediate plate adapted to be positioned at a height between the bottom wall and the top wall to aid in keeping the clothes in place during distribution.
  • intermediate plate With the introduction of intermediate plate it becomes possible to separate clothes individually or into sets of clothes along the height direction. Thereby the clothes are given even less possibility to move during distribution.
  • the intermediate plate is preferably made of paper or paper-board.
  • the intermediate plate has preferably sufficient strength to be self-supporting, i.e. it can carry its own weight without any significant deformation.
  • the intermediate plate is preferably self-supporting when the tongues are inserted into the slots of the abutment portions.
  • the abutment portions comprise slots adapted to receive tongues of the intermediate plate to thereby hold the intermediate plate on said height. This way the intermediate plate will not only separate the clothes from each other but will also retain its position on the intended height.
  • the top wall, bottom wall and side walls of the distribution package may be formed of paper board, preferably corrugated paper board. This is a material that is comparably cheap, easy to shape into a distribution package, light-weight and still capable of providing a distribution package protecting the clothes during distribution.
  • the attachment members may be formed of paper board, preferably corrugated paper board. As mentioned above, this is a material that is comparably cheap, easy to shape into a distribution package, light-weight and still capable of providing a distribution package protecting the clothes during distribution.
  • the walls are of paper board, preferably corrugated paper board and the attachment members and/or abutment portions are made of another material, such as a plastic material or a metal. It is e.g. conceivable that the walls and the abutment portions are of paper board, preferably corrugated paper board, and the attachment members is made of another material, such as a plastic material or a metal.
  • the attachment member may be formed of a sheet being folded about one or more fold lines extending along the height direction. This is a useful way of provided a strong attachment member and still being able to design it of a paper board, preferably corrugated paper board.
  • the first set of abutment portions may comprise a first abutment portion positioned in a width direction, transverse to the height direction, on one side of the first attachment member and a second abutment portion positioned in the width direction on another side of the first attachment member. This way it is prevented that the hanger swings from side to side and thereby any clothes are more securely kept in place in the distribution package.
  • the second set of abutment portions may comprise a first abutment portion positioned in the width direction on one side of the second attachment member and a second abutment portion positioned in the width direction on another side of the second attachment member.
  • the first and second abutment portions may comprise abutment surfaces extending in a plane extending on one hand in the height direction. This way the abutment portions will present an abutment surface towards the hanger and the clothes on the hanger even if the hanger and clothes will move slightly along the height direction.
  • the first and/or second abutment portions comprises abutment surfaces extending in a plane extending away from its associated attachment member in an inclined direction having in a width direction, transverse to the height direction, a component away from its associated attachment member and in a length direction, transverse to both the height and width direction, a component towards the other attachment member.
  • abutment surfaces extending in a plane extending away from its associated attachment member in an inclined direction having in a width direction, transverse to the height direction, a component away from its associated attachment member and in a length direction, transverse to both the height and width direction, a component towards the other attachment member.
  • the first and/or second abutment portions may comprise abutment surfaces extending in a plane extending away from its associated attachment member in a width direction transverse to the height direction and transverse to a length direction.
  • both the first and second abutment portions have the inclined extension. It may be noted that in another embodiment the first abutment portions have the inclined extension and the second abutment portions have the transverse extension. In this latter design, jackets on hangers are positioned at the first abutment portion and trousers or skirts on straight hangers are positioned at the second abutment portions.
  • first and/or second abutment portions may as such also be combinations of inclined and transverse extensions, such that a central portion close to the attachment member e.g. is transverse and distal portions on either side are inclined, or vice versa.
  • the abutment portions may be formed of paper board, preferably corrugated paper board. As mentioned above, this is a material that is comparably cheap, easy to shape into a distribution package, light-weight and still capable of providing a distribution package protecting the clothes during distribution.
  • a distribution package for use in laying distribution of clothes on hangers, the hangers having a hook portion and a clothes hanging portion, wherein the distribution package comprises a first attachment member and a first set of abutment portions positioned at a first side portion, and wherein the distribution package further comprises a second attachment member and a second set of abutment portions positioned at a second side portion.
  • clothes may be distributed in laying distribution on hangers and still be protected from being wrinkled or otherwise damaged.
  • the length direction may relative to respective hanger be oriented along a direction in which clothes will hang vertically down from the hanger when the hanger is hung on a horizontally extending rod and wherein said length direction during distribution is horizontally arranged.
  • the parcel may further comprise removable intermediate plate between the first piece of clothing and the second piece of clothing.
  • the removable intermediate plate is located between a first set of clothing and a second set of clothing. In this latter design, the intermediate plate is thus not located between each individual piece of clothing but between sets or groups of clothing.
