DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
The present invention relates to a hanger for baby care products, such as containers for soap, powder, and skin preparations and for cloths, towels, etc.
The care (bathing/changing) of an infant under normal circumstances takes place at a changing area in a home, which changing area may be a fixed plate or board, a table or counter or, for example, a changing surface which may be swung out of the way, on a bathinette mounted on a stand. The necessary baby care products such as cloths and towels may be hung on hooks in the immediate vicinity of the changing area, e.g., on hooks on a wall. The other baby care products will generally lie about on the changing table in a random order or disorder.
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a hanger for baby care products which may be suspended near the changing area in such a manner that all of the baby care products may easily be reached from the changing table, and with the aid of which hanger said baby care products are always located in a permanent place and are easy to find or to see.
This is achieved according to the invention by means of the characterizing features disclosed in the characterizing clause of the following independent claim 1, and in the subsequent dependent claims.
Thus, with the present invention there is provided a hanger for baby care products of the type described above, where a base member suspended by a suspension cord is equipped with outwardly projecting hanger arms provided with hanger means in the form of, e.g., hooks, loops or gripper fingers, whereon the various baby care products may be hung up or securely held. For example, cloths and towels may be hung up on said hooks, while containers--preferably tapered inward at their outlet openings--may be placed in said loops or between said gripper fingers for retention thereof with the outlet openings/sprinkler openings/dispenser nozzles oriented downward so as to be-in a position ready for use when they are gripped, and so that the container contents are fed out when pressure is exerted on the container or, alternatively, in the case of powder containers, where the powder is sprinkled out when the container is shaken.
It is apparent from the above that a hanger for baby care products according to the present invention will facilitate the daily care of infants by ensuring that all the baby care products are found in their respective places in the suspended hanger.
The invention will be described in more detail in the following, with reference to an embodiment example of the invention, illustrated in the figures.
In the figures,
FIG. 1 shows the hanger in perspective with the parts detached from one another, but with two hanger arms attached to the base member;
FIG. 2 shows the hanger in assembled state, with the container door open;
FIG. 3 shows the same as FIG. 2, but with the container door closed and with the various baby care products arranged on the hanger means and in the container, respectively;
FIG. 4 shows a section of the base member with a through-going hole and shaft located therein, with a stop collar and fastening nut, together with a hanger means in the form of a hook, provided with snap means complementary with snap means in the base member; and
FIG. 5 shows the hanger with the base member disposed within the container together with the shaft journal and centering plate, with the hanger arms detached from the base member and the entire unit arranged in a sales package.
As shown in FIG. 1, the hanger according to the invention consists of a base member 1, which is preferably spherical, to which are attached, preferably releasably, hanger arms 2 projecting outward and downward from base member 1, which arms are formed with hanger means 3, such as hooks 3', loops 3", gripper fingers 3'" at the outer ends thereof. Base member 1 is adapted for attachment directly or indirectly to a suspension cord 4 depending from a suspension point. Base member 1 is provided with attachment means 1a, which preferably are composed of attachment holes for insertion and retention of
