Description

Hanger clamp.

Object of the invention

The present invention, as expressed in the set forth in this specification, refers to a clamp for hangers that are intended to hold and hold different garments, such as pants, skirts and other garments, of so that by means of a pair of tweezers located in extreme areas of The hanger will hold the respective garment.

Starting from this premise, the objective of the invention is an independent clamp that can be moved to along a crossbar that joins the two arms that converge in one central portion of where the hook of the hanger starts, so that such a clamp has a characteristic complementary structure with a metallic strap, which depending on its position, releases the clamp or secure its closing position to hold the garment.

Among others, the clamp of the invention presents the advantage of being able to be mounted on different hanger models, presenting an independent single piece structure.

Background of the invention

Currently, there are different types of hangers, which include those that incorporate a pair  of extreme tweezers to hold with them pants, skirt or other garments

These tweezers usually comprise two pieces. hinged together as jaws with means that ensure the closure of such jaws to prevent the release of the garments once fastened with tweezers.

In most cases (utility model numbers 9700899 and 8701147), the clamps are fixed by a part of the same with respect to the hanger, that is, that you cannot regulate the distance between them to adapt them to the width of the garment to hang and hold.

In other cases, such as the model of utility nº 272700, the pairs of tweezers that the hanger incorporates can approach or move away from each other depending on the width of the garment to hold.

Description of the invention

In order to achieve the objectives and avoid the drawbacks mentioned in the previous sections, the invention proposes a hanger clamp that is characterized because It comprises in principle a whole piece defined by three sections hinges (anterior, central and posterior) joined together by narrow weakening bands constituting such hinge, and a metal part determined by a strap associated with said integral piece, so that in one of the extreme strapping positions ensure the fastening of a garment caught between the sections, anterior and central, of the integral piece, while in another extreme position of the strap it is possible to lower at least the previous section to be able to release the garment.

The garment is held by a pair of tweezers coupled and guided on a crossbar joined by its ends to the arms of a hanger that converge in a central portion of where tear off a hanger hook from the hanger.

The pair of tweezers can move along of the crossbar to adapt to the width of the garment.

On the other hand, that central section of the piece full will be arranged between the other two sections, previous and later, counting said central section with an open entree where the crossbar of the hanger is housed, while such an entree open closes by a part of the back section superimposed against the central section.

The strap presents a general configuration in inverted "U" shape with a major and a smaller branch than it ends in a terminal fold, the branch being arranged and guided greater of the strip in correspondence with a channeling of the face outside of the back section, while ensuring the linkage of the strap with respect to the back section by two small bridges

In the clamp anchor position, the strap It is in a low position with its terminal fold pressing against the outer face of the front section of the clamp, while in the release position the strap is in an elevated position in which the extreme bend of said strap does not is in contact with the previous section of the clamp, which is it is possible to fold said previous section out to release the pledge or start holding it.

Next to facilitate a better understanding of this descriptive report and being an integral part of the same accompany some figures in which with character illustrative and not limiting the object of the invention.

Brief description of the drawings

Description of the preferred embodiment

Considering the numbering adopted in the figures, the hanger clamp is determined from an integral piece 1 comprising an anterior section 2, a central section 3 and a subsequent section 4, joined by narrow bands of weakening 5 as a hinged, of so that in the armed position of the integral piece 1, the central sections 3 and rear 4 overlap each other by contacting a part of their faces facing each other, while between both sections mentioned there is a gap 6 where a cross member 7 is housed 7 of a hanger 8 to bind to the
same.

Said gap 6 is generated as a result of a incoming 9 established in the central section 3 of the integral piece 1, incoming 9 that is closed by a part of the rear section 4, this part that includes a wedge-shaped portion 10 that contact the crossbar 7 of the hanger 8 to ensure the immobilization of the clamp on said crossbar 7. Said portion wedge-shaped 10 seats in turn by its lower base on a aforementioned entree area 9.

The previous section 2 embraces the central section 3 in  correspondence with your free face, so that the garment is will be held by the lower facing parts of the sections previous 2 and center 3 of the integral piece 1.

Said fastening is secured by a strap U-shaped metal inverted 11, uneven branches, of so that the longest branch 12 is guided in correspondence with an external channeling of the rear section 4, making sure that guidance and linking to said subsequent section 4 by means of a lower bridge 13 integral to this rear section 4 and a second upper bridge 14 integral to the central section 3 and which passes to through an upper slot 15 of the rear section 4, being both bridges 13 and 14 facing each other.

The other couple branch 16 of shorter length metal strap 11 ends in a terminal bend 17 which in the active position of the clamp presses and contacts against the face outside of previous section 2 in correspondence with another centered channeling of that previous section 2.

The part of the previous section 2 on which press the terminal bend 17 of the metal strip 11 is arranged on an inclined plane and converges towards the plane where it is contained the central section 3 of the integral piece 1, whereby the Clamping the garment 18 will be more effective.

With this arrangement described, in the position of  anchoring of the clamp, the metal strip 11 is in a low position with its terminal 17 bending pressing against the face exterior of the previous section 2 of the clamp, while in the release position, the metal strip 11 is in a raised position in which the terminal bend 17 of said strap metallic 11 is not in contact with the previous section 2 of the clamp, whereby it is possible to lower said previous section 2 towards outside to release the garment 18 or start holding the same.

The cross member 7 can be of different geometry and shape always adapting to the space of the hole 6.

On the other hand, in case the crossbar 7 change settings, the shape of the incoming 9 will also change as well as the position of the wedge 10 to fit the shape of the crossbar 7.
