DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
The invention relates to a clothes hanger primarily intended for trousers.
Known are hangers for hanging up trousers which have a horizontal carrying bar intended to support the trousers after they have been folded double in the middle, as well as hangers having one or two spring clamps which can grip onto the bottom ends of the trousers. Should it be desired to hang the trousers in the position of use, hangers for this purpose are known which have a clasp form and grip below the wasit band as well as hangers with two spring clamps which are fitted onto the outside of the waistband.
It can be stated generally that hangers with which the trousers can be hung upright (that is, with the legs downwards) in flat folded state are preferable from the point of view of presentation. The hangers known for this purpose are not however wholly satisfactory because they disturb the creases or are of too complicated a construction and have a relatively high cost price.
The invention aims to provide a hanger with which trousers can be hung upright in flat folded state such that the creases therein are not disturbed. It also aims to provide a hanger of this type which is of simple construction and has a relatively low cost price.
The invention provides a hanger for trousers comprising: have carrying pieces on the ends, and and in such a way that the attachment grips with the limbs onto the waistband at the point of the front folds thereof, while the tensioning member grips on the one side with its carrying pieces onto the limbs of the attachment thereby clamping free parts of the waistband, and on the other side grips directly onto the waistband at the point of the rear fold therein, whereby the dimensions of carrying pieces and attachment are adapted to each other such that at least after being fitted onto a pair of trousers a carrying piece cannot pass between the limbs of the attachment.
Although this hanger is of simple construction and therefore relatively cheap to make, a pair of trousers can be hung upright in efficient manner without the creases in the trousers being disturbed.
Various embodiments are possible within the framework of the invention. The tensioning member can therefore take any random form and function in any random manner, provided it has two tensioning arms that move apart and have carrying pieces on the ends. These tensioning arms move apart preferably under spring action which results in the hanger being easier to handle. The U-shaped attachment can form a separate part so that there is complete freedom of application, but the attachment can also be connected to the tensioning member for free movement, for pivoting or through spring means, so that it is not easily mislaid.
Other features and aims of the hanger according to the invention will become apparent from the following description.
The hanger according to the invention is further illustrated by the drawing which shows, by way of example, a number of embodiments with variants.
FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment in perspective, whereby the manner of fitting onto a pair of trousers is indicated.
FIG. 2 shows a variant of the embodiment in FIG. 1.
FIGS. 3 and 4 show variants of the part 2 from FIG. 1.
FIGS. 5 and 6 show a second embodiment of the hanger according to the invention, respectively in perspective and in section (along the line VII--VII in FIG. 5).
FIG. 7 illustrates a third embodiment of the hanger.
FIG. 8 is a variant thereof.
FIG. 9 shows a fourth embodiment of the hanger.
FIGS. 10 and 11 show two variants of the tensioning member 1 in the first embodiment.
The FIGS. 1-4 and 10-11 relate to an embodiment with a separate attachment. In view of the fact that such an attachment is easily lost if not in use, the FIGS. 5-9 feature embodiments in which the attachment is connected to the tensioning member for free movement or pivoting or through spring means.
In the embodiment from FIG. 1 the hanger according to the invention comprises a tensioning member 1 and an attachment 2. Tensioning member 1 has two tensioning arms 3,3 having on thei
