Definitions

  • the invention relates to a means for bundling hangers with hooks.
  • hanger refers to clothes or laundry hangers, suspendable shoe or belt carriers or any other product carrier. Until now, such hangers with hooks could only be combined by tying the hook shafts with a thread, wire or the like, i.e. be bundled.
  • the invention creates a novel, easy-to-use bundling device which can perform another function in addition to bundling.
  • the bundle flap according to the invention consists of a main flap made of thin-walled, essentially dimensionally stable material, preferably plastic, and a holding web which connects to a long edge of the main flap and is firmly connected to the main flap in the edge areas, so that in the central region of the bundle flap an elongated passage opening for the passage of the hooks is formed between the main tab and the retaining web.
  • a surface of the main tab, which faces away from the hook shafts, is freely visible and can be used for labeling or for holding a label.
  • the label and label can be attached before or after bundling the hangers.
  • the bundle flap fulfills a double function, namely the bundling of a number of hangers, the hooks of which are encompassed by the passage opening, and secondly the wearing of an award which is associated with all the goods in this bundle.
  • hangers usually 5 to 10 hangers are combined with a bundle flap, the main flap of which is about 9 cm wide.
  • the bundle strap is particularly suitable for use in the interim storage facilities of larger retail chains.
  • Containers from the different goods are put together with several individual goods, each of which is addressed to a recipient.
  • the bundle flap according to the invention the bundle with several goods can be joined together in a simple manner and the recipient can be noted on the main flap.
  • the bundle flap is also suitable for labeling goods in the sales area.
  • the retaining web is also flat and has a wall thickness that corresponds essentially to the wall thickness of the main tab.
  • the main level of the retaining web is angled to the level of the main tab.
  • the bundle flap thus has the shape of a thin angled plate, at the bend of which the passage opening is arranged.
  • This bundle strap can be pushed particularly easily over the hooks which are hung on a rod, since the short flat retaining web which is to be passed between the hooks and the rod has a low sliding resistance.
  • the passage opening has a width of approximately 3 mm.
  • the angle between the main plane of the holding bridge and the main tab should be less than 90 °.
  • the holding web which is at an acute angle to the main tab, then forms a stop for the shanks of the hooks of the hangers and holds the main tab essentially parallel to the hook shafts so that it is clearly visible.
  • the passage opening for receiving the plastic hooks should be made wider.
  • the necessary width of the passage opening is usually between 8 and 15 mm.
  • the main tab of the bundle tab should have a transition radius, e.g. 5 to 10 mm, pass into the holding bridge.
  • the passage opening can extend into the curved border area between the main tab and the retaining web.
  • the regions of the main flap or of the holding web adjoining the passage opening can be provided with a reinforcing bead. It is also advisable to arrange reinforcement walls in the lateral angular areas between the retaining web and the main bracket. This prevents undesired bending of the bundle strap and tearing out of the interconnected edge areas between the main strap and the retaining web.
  • a reusable bundle tab is preferably made of injection-molded plastic material with a material thickness of about 1 mm. But it can also be formed from a thin sheet of metal. These relatively rigid and resistant bundle tabs offer a flat mounting surface for machine-readable labels, eg barcode labels. Such labels can usually not be read by machine on an uneven receiving surface.
  • the bundle strap according to the invention is only intended for single use, the use of a tear-resistant cardboard box is also possible.
  • the length of the bundle strap is advantageously three times the height of the bundle strap.
  • a bundle flap made of 1 mm thick plastic material, e.g. a length of 90 mm and a height of 30 mm advantageous.
  • Two or more of these bundle tabs can also be joined together to form a particularly long bundle device. It is particularly advantageous to join several bundle tabs together over a predetermined breaking line. By canceling the desired number of bundle tabs, the user can determine how many of the hangers are to be combined into a bundle. Care must be taken to ensure that the predetermined breaking line is robust enough to hold the bundled container together.
  • an area of the passage opening e.g. its central area or its two end areas, provided with a locking means.
  • the elastically deformable material of the bracket flap is deformed when a hook is inserted, which is slightly thicker than the width of the passage opening, in order to spread the passage opening.
  • the latching means can either consist of a latching recess in at least one edge of the passage opening or of a latching projection near the end of the passage opening. In the central area of the passage opening, two latching projections arranged next to one another at a distance can form the latching means.
  • the bundle flap should also be aligned at right angles to the extent of the hangers, if possible, if only one or a few hooks through the passage opening are pushed. This is particularly necessary if information carriers, for example barcode labels, are attached to the main tab and are to be read by machine.
  • stop elements associated with the latching means can be provided, which then rest against the flank of the bracket when the hook is held in the latching means when the latter extends at right angles to the main tab of the bundle tab.
  • the bundle flap largely consists of a main flap 1, which is formed by a rectangular plastic plate with rounded edges.
  • the main tab 1 has a wall thickness of approximately 1 mm. Their area dimensions are 9 cm x 3 cm.
  • the surface of the main flap 1 on which the label or the mark is to be applied lies on the left in FIG. 1 or on the back of the side of the main flap 1 shown in FIG. 2.
  • stiffening walls 6 are provided which connect an edge of the retaining link 2 to an edge of the main link 1 in the outer edge region of the bundle link.
  • the stiffening walls 6 extend at right angles to the plane of the main tab 1 and the holding web 2. Depending on the size of the forces acting on the holding web, the stiffening wall 6 can also cover only a part of the angle between the main tab 1 and the holding web 2 or can be omitted entirely.
  • a reinforcing bead 7 is arranged in the area of the holding web 2 adjoining the passage opening 5. The accumulation of material formed by the reinforcing bead prevents premature tearing out of the retaining web in the area of the passage opening.
  • the use of the bundle strap according to the invention can be seen schematically in FIG. 3.
  • On a support rod 8 three hangers or hangers 9 are hung next to each other with any goods.
  • the hooks 10 of the hangers 9 encompass the support rod 8 and lie on it in the upper region, their free ends 12 pointing in the same direction.
  • the bundle strap according to the invention holds the three hooks 10, which protrude through the passage opening 5 of the bundle strap, firmly together.
  • Attaching the bundle strap to the hook shafts 11 is very simple. It only has to be pushed the retaining web 2 under the free ends 12 of the hook 10, the main tab 1 being above the hook ends 12. When the bundle flap is pulled further, the retaining web 2 slides between the hook 10 and the support rod 8 until it reaches the position shown in FIG. 3. Since the retaining web 2 is thin-walled, it does not generate any significant resistance to the pulling between the hook 10 and the support rod 8.
  • latching recesses 14 are arranged on the lower edge of the passage opening 5 in their end regions, which, due to the inherent elasticity of the bracket plate, accommodate a hook shaft in an elastically resilient manner.
  • a latching projection 15 is arranged in the area opposite the latching recess 14 in the retaining web 2 on the inner wall of the main tab 1, ie on the wall facing the retaining web 2. This latching projection 15 latches when a hook shaft is inserted into one of the latching recesses 14 on the side opposite the latching recess 14 with the hook shaft.
  • the lateral end regions of the retaining tab 2 are reinforced here with short reinforcing ribs 16 next to the ends of the passage openings 5.
  • the hook 10 of the foremost hanger 9 is held in the left end of the passage opening 5 of the bundle tab by the latching recess 14 and the latching projection 15. So that the bundle flap extends at right angles to this hanger 9, a fin-like stop body 17 is formed on the lower edge of the main flap 1 and extends in a plane running at right angles to the main flap 1.
  • the length of the fin-like stop body 17 should be at least 15 mm so that it bears over a wide area against the side flank of the hanger 9 which extends at right angles to the main flap 1.
