Definitions
- the invention relates to an anti-theft device, in particular for a hanger for supporting an article of clothing intended to be suspended by a hook from a rod or the like.
- a hanger is associated with a cable or chain, one end of which is fixedly connected to the hanger and the other end of which is intended to be received in a housing provided for this purpose on the hanger. and to be locked in this housing by means of a key lock mechanism.
- the free end of the cable is passed through a sleeve of the garment supported by the hanger before being locked on the hanger.
- This device is relatively inconvenient to use, because, so that one cannot remove the hanger carrying the garment from the rod to which it is suspended, it is necessary to pass the hanger and the garment on one side of the rod of suspension and pass the free end of the cable on the other side of this rod.
- Another type of anti-theft device for a hanger is also known, in which the hanger is associated with two mobile arms which tighten the shoulders of the garment on the hanger and can be locked in the tight position by means of a key lock mechanism.
- the disadvantage of this device The shoulders of the garment are crushed on the hanger and are deformed or marked by the ends of the movable arms.
- the subject of the invention is an anti-theft device, in particular for a hanger, which does not have the drawbacks of known devices, which is simple, inexpensive, safe, and which is adaptable to any type of hanger and rod. suspension.
- the invention provides for this purpose an anti-theft device, in particular for a hanger for supporting a clothing item intended to be suspended by a hook from a rod or the like, characterized in that this device is fixedly mounted on a type hanger any and includes lock suspension means suitable for occupying a locking position on the rod preventing the hanger from being removed from the rod, and an unlocking position allowing this withdrawal.
- the device according to the invention also comprises means cooperating with the article of clothing carried by the hanger, preventing the article from being removed from the hanger when the suspension means are in the locked position on the rod and allowing this withdrawal when the suspension means are in the unlocked position.
- the device according to the invention comprises a block provided with a fixed hook for hanging from the rod and a movable tab mounted on the pivoting block between a first position in which this tab is spaced from the free end of the fixed hook by a distance greater than the diameter at the transverse dimension of the suspension rod and a second position in which it is brought closer to the free end of the fixed hook and opposes the passage of the rod , the lock being provided on the block and cooperating with the movable tab to lock it in its second position.
- This block also includes a housing or passage for receiving part of the hook of the hanger and means, for example with screws, for retaining this hook part in the aforementioned housing or passage.
- the device according to the invention is therefore adaptable to any type of hanger and hanging rod, which allows a trader to equip his own hangers with the devices according to the invention, without modifying the arrangement of the rods of hanging in his store.
- the device comprises a cable or a chain, one end of which is fixedly mounted on the aforementioned block and the other end of which comprises a ring which can be threaded on the fixed hook of the block, this chain or cable being adapted to be passed for example in a sleeve of the article of clothing carried by the hanger.
- a hanger fitted with the device according to the invention can therefore be hung without difficulty on a hanging rod, and without it being necessary to pass the hanger and the cable or the chain on one side and on the other respectively from the hanging rod.
- the hanger comprises a horizontal bar intended to support an article such as pants for example
- the invention provides means for retaining this article on the horizontal bar, which are associated with the aforementioned suspension means .
- the movable leg of the device according to the invention is pivotally connected to the end of a rod guided in sliding in the block and the other end of which is spaced from said horizontal bar of the hanger when the movable leg is in its first position and is supported on this horizontal bar when the movable tab is in its second position.
- Such a hanger can therefore be used for the presentation of a jacket and pants without it being possible to remove the jacket or the pants from the hanger when the device is locked on the hanging rod.
- Figure 1 shows a hanger 10 of a completely conventional type, provided with an anti-theft device 12 according to the invention, by which it is suspended from a rod 14 of a type also conventional.
- the anti-theft device 12 comprises a block 16 whose upper part forms a fixed hook 18 for hanging from the rod 14 and whose lower part is provided with a movable tab 20, substantially in the shape of a semicircle, pivotally mounted on the block 16 around an axis 22 parallel to the axis of the suspension rod 14.
- the block 16 is equipped with a locking mechanism 24 of a conventional type, key operated, the rotary cylinder of which is connected to a bolt 26 for blocking the movable tab 20 in the locking position shown in FIG. 2 .
- the movable lug 20 forms with the fixed hook 18 of the block 16 an almost complete ring preventing the device 12 from being removed from the rod 14.
- the left part 28 of the movable lug 20 is, in this position, received in a housing in the block 16 which also includes the blocking part 26, and has a notch 30 in which the beak-shaped end of the bolt 26 is received.
- the bolt 26 By inserting the key into the lock mechanism 24, the bolt 26 can be pivoted to the left in FIG. 2 and released from the notch 30 in the movable tab 20, which is thus released and which can pivot around the axis 22 in a clockwise direction, for example under the effect of an associated return spring.
- the right end of the movable tab 20 then deviates from the end of the fixed hook 18 by a distance which is greater than the diameter or the transverse dimension of the suspension rod 14, so that the device can then be removed from the hanging rod.
- the lock mechanism 24 is automatically reset, that is to say that when the key is removed from this mechanism, the bolt 26 is immediately returned to the position blocking, by means of a return spring for example. If then the movable lug 20 is pivoted around the axis 22 anticlockwise, its left part 28 returns to the position shown in FIG. 2 where it is again locked by the locking piece 26 .
- the hanger 10 is fixedly connected to the anti-theft device 12 by its suspension hook 32.
- the block 16 comprises for example, for this, a housing or passage 34 in which is engaged a part of the hook 32 of the hanger 10.
- Locking means are provided on the block 16 to retain this part of the hook 32 in the housing 34.
- These means can be constituted for example by a screw 36, received in a threaded housing perpendicular to the housing 34 and partially passing through the latter, so that the force-tightening of the screw 36 comes to very firmly block the hook part 32 in the housing 34.
- the screw 36 can be of the non-removable type, for example by breaking its head when the screwing force exceeds a predetermined value.
- the housing 34 formed in the block 16 can be a simple blind cylindrical hole, in which case it is necessary to cut beforehand the curved part of the hook 32 of the hanger 10, in order to introduce only the straight part of this hook into the housing 34.
- the housing 34 can also be designed to receive the curved part of the hook 32 of the hanger 10, and it is then not necessary to cut this hook before fixing the hanger on the anti-theft device 12.
- the device according to the invention also comprises a cable, a chain or the like 38, one end 40 of which is fixedly and immovably mounted on the block 12 and the other end 42 of which comprises a ring 44 suitable for being fitted onto the hook fixed 18 of the device 12, as shown in Figures 2 and 3.
- the dimension of the ring 44 is such that it cannot pass between the ends of the fixed hook 18 and of the movable tab 20 when the device is in the locking position.
- the cable or the like 38 is used in the usual way, that is to say it is passed through a sleeve of the garment supported by the hanger, as shown in Figure 1, before the ring 44 is threaded into the hook 18.
- it then suffices to engage the device 12 on the suspension rod, and without it being necessary to pass the hanger on one side of this rod and the end free cable on the other side of this rod.
- the hanger 10 comprises, as shown in Figure 2, a horizontal bar 46 connecting the ends of the two oblique arms of the hanger, and intended to support for example pants
- the invention provides a rod 48, substantially vertical, which is guided in sliding in a housing 50 of the block 16 and whose upper end comprises a horizontal slot 52 in which is engaged a finger 54 of the left part 28 of the movable tab 20.
- the lower end of the rod 48 comprises for example a horizontal part 56 with an inverted U-section, which is intended to overlap the horizontal bar 46 of the hanger and to retain on this bar pants 58 placed astride the bar 46, the usual way.
- the horizontal part 56 of the rod 48 is lowered on the transverse bar 46 of the hanger to come up to its immediate vicinity.
- the rod 48 is in the high position, its horizontal part 56 being sufficiently spaced from the horizon bar 46, so that pants can be placed on this bar or remove it.
- the left part 28 of the movable tab 20 is slightly projecting above the corresponding edge of the block 16, in the locked position.
- the movable tab 20 it is not compulsory for the movable tab 20 to extend over approximately a semicircle. It would be sufficient that it extends over a quarter of a circle, starting from the pivot axis 22.
- the cable or chain 38 can also be provided with rings or similar means at its two ends, and thus be independent of the block 16. To maintain a garment on the anti-theft device, the cable or chain is passed through the garment and the two end rings are threaded onto the fixed hook 18.
- the cable or chain can be passed through a skirt, a pant leg, etc., and in any case make it possible to prevent theft of the item of clothing.
- the right end of the movable tab 20 can be formed in the form of a hook or the like to engage in closure on a part of conjugate shape of the end of the fixed hook 18, which reinforces the locking.
- the invention has, compared to known anti-theft devices, the essential advantage of being adaptable to all types of hangers and hanging rods.
