DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
The invention relates to a clamping device for long trousers, particularly in suitcases.
To transport trousers, for example in suitcases, without creasing them, it is known to equip suitcases with straps in which the folded trousers are to be secured against slipping. Also known are clothes hangers which are suspended in suitcases and clamp the trousers at the leg ends and/or at the waistline. These known devices are proving to have the disadvantage that, when the suitcase is tipped or thrown, the clamped or suspended long trousers may become displaced and thus, depending on the dexterity of the person packing the suitcase, are to a greater or lesser degree exposed to the danger of creasing.
The underlying object of the invention is to construct a clamping device for long trousers, particularly in suitcases, in such a manner that the long trousers to be transported are transported in firmly clamped and crease-free condition.
This object is achieved by the features recited in the characterizing part of patent claim 1.
Further advantageous developments of the clamping device in accordance with the invention appear in the sub-claims.
The clamping device in accordance with the invention realizes in a suitable manner quick and secure clamping of long trousers and their transport in uncreased condition.
The clamping device in accordance with the invention is described in connection with the drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a side view of a preferred embodiment of the clamping device in accordance with the invention, with the base plate hinged to the inner bottom of a suitcase and with long trousers placed over the hangers;
FIG. 2 is a front view of the clamping device of the invention according to FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a top view onto a section through a vertical leg of the guide frame showing a tension bracket gripping through slots in the leg; and
FIG. 4 is a top view onto the cross connection of the legs of the guide frame showing a tension bracket introduced into the guide frame.
As will be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2 showing a preferred embodiment of the clamping device, a base plate 1 with an elbow 3 pointing upwardly at right angles on a longitudinal edge 2 is releasably secured by means of a releasable hinge 4 to the inner bottom 5 of a suitcase 6 whose lid 7 is in FIG. 1 lifted up toward the left. A buffer 8 is provided on the inside of the elbow 3 of the base plate 1. In its horizontal position shown in FIG. 1, the base plate 1 is supported by a swing-out leg 9. After the leg 9 has been retracted, as indicated by the broken-line curve, the base plate 1 may be turned about the hinge 4 into the inside of the lower part of the suitcase.
On the base plate 1, hangers 10 and 11 of different widths (FIG. 2) are disposed spaced from each other and parallel to the longitudinal edges 2 of the base plate 1, the width of the hanger 10 closest to the elbow 3 of the base plate 1 being greater than the width of the other hanger 11. The hangers 10 and 11 have, respectively, round stock rods 12 vertical in relation to the base plate 1 and connected at their upper end by a round stock rod 13 extending parallel to the base plate 1. At the lower ends, the hangers 10 and 11 pass over, respectively, into a round stock elbow 14 parallel to the base plate 1, which are movably guided in bearings 15 and 16, respectively, extending parallel to the side edges 17 of the base plate 1. The guide bearings 15 associated with the hanger 10 closest to the elbow 3 of the base plate 1 are of a length at least one-half of the width of the base plate 1, in order that the hanger 10 may not slide out of the bearings 15 when it is pushed toward the buffer 8. The bearings 16 of the other hanger 11 are of a length which corresponds to one-quarter to one-third of the length of the length of the width of the base plate 1. Limit stop elements 18 may be provided on the free ends of the elbows 14. The height of the hangers 10 and 11 is lower than the available interior height of the lower part of the suitcase. The height of the two hangers 10 and 11 is substantia
