Definitions

  • the invention refers to a gripping device adapted for carrying a piece of clothing, such as trousers at the end of their legs or a womans jupon at its waist ribbon, in suspended position, whereby the leg ends or the waist ribbon are kept stretched by means of two holders being slidably guided along a bar which is disposed horizontally when being in position of use.
  • the bar of the gripping device is elastically flexible and each holder is formed with means for engaging the bar substantially anywhere on its length in a locking manner and further with a rigid pair of downwardly extending shanks, the two pairs of shanks occupying in unlocked condition each an inclined position in the plane of their displaceability, whereas in locked condition, when gripping a piece of clothing, the pairs of shanks are at least approximately parallel to each other.
  • KG. 1 is a lateral view of a coat-hanger equipped with a gripping device according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 shows the gripping device in use
  • FIG. 3 is front side view of one or" the holders of the device.
  • FIG. 4 shows from below a modification of the attachrnent of the bar of the device on the coat-hanger.
  • FIG. 1 The embodiment of the invention shown in FIG. 1 comprises an ordinary coat-hanger 2 having a suspension hook I.
  • a flat elastically flexible bar 3, preferably of steel, is attached in substantially horizontal position with its both ends 5 to the two arms of the coat-hanger 2 in such a way that the bar can be bent upwardly towards the hanger.
  • a piece ll of U-shaped cross-section is secured by means of a screw 4 to the underside of each arm of the coat-hanger 2, the two pieces forming each at the underside of the hanger a pocket 12, which accommodates the end 5 of the bar and leaves to the latter the necessary free space for the upward bending.
  • Two holders 6 mainly consisting of artificial resin are slidably mounted on the bar 3 and have each a rigid pair of parallel shanks 7 which extend downwardly from the bar.
  • a metal plate 8 is embedded in the artificial resin.
  • This plate is arranged transversely to the bar and has a slit-like low aperture 9, as shown in FIG. 3.
  • the plane containing the metal plate forms an acute angle with the plane through the pair of shanks 7 of the holder in such way that the two holders occupy in unlocked condition symmetrically inclined positions, as shown in FIG. 1, whereas in loclze position the pairs of shanks are at least approximately parallel to each other if the bar is thereby bent upwards to a certain extent, as shown in FlG. 2.
  • the shanks 7 of the holder are provided with a plurality of ribs 13 arranged side by side transversely to the shank direction and having a saw-toothed cross section, whereby the face 14 of the "ice teeth are upwardly directed on the holder in order to prevent the piece of clothing from slipping from the holders.
  • T he holder in its essential parts may be made of metal, for instance by injection moulding.
  • One holder 6 is now inserted with each one of its shanks between an outer and an inner of the ribbon length portions and the other holder 6 is inserted with its both shanks between the two inner ribbon length portions.
  • the holders In order to engage and stretch the waist ribbon for suspending the jupon the holders will be shifted apart on the bar and arrive in a parallel position whereby the bar is slightly bent upwards. Under this condition the holders engage the bar in locking manner and maintain the waist ribbon stretched.
  • the described gripping device allows the use of the holders already in a very small as well as in a considerable distance from each other in adaptation to the piece of clothing to be suspended, whereby the stretching tension of the bar is sutliciently effective in any case.
  • one holder 6 may be tilted by hand into its sliding position under a momentary increase of the bending or the bar 3.
  • a still simpler way to achieve this consists in seizing the coat-hanger 2 with one hand and pressing with its thumb the middle portion of the bar 3 a little further upwards. Thereby the holders are released from its locking position and release the piece of clothing which can be seized with the other hand.
  • the flat bar 3 can be mounted at each end 5 to the underside of the coat-hanger 2 directly by means of a screw 4.
  • the bar end 5 is provided with a longitudinal slit 17 which is traversed b the screw screwed into underside of the hanger arm, so that the bar 3 is supported by the screw head and has sufiicient play for its upward deflection.
