Description

Coat hanger DESCRIPTION The present invention concerns a hanger coat hanger. More specifically, the finding It concerns a coat hanger made of cardboard. As is known, coat hangers are normally made of plastic material with a iron hanging hook or possibly also made of plastic. However, crutches of this type are not easily recyclable and still involve the use of plastic material, a solution that Today it is increasingly opposed for ecological reasons. In addition, plastic hangers have a certain weight that is added to the weight of the head are supported and therefore involve greater shipping costs if hangers are used for hanging clothes in transport boxes with coat hanger systems. Hangers are also known on the market coat hangers made of pressed cardboard, the which, however, have the drawback of not be particularly robust and therefore not be able to support the weight of some items details. Furthermore, the deformation that undergoes a cardboard hanger of known type is such that the head may, during transport, be subject to unhook from the hanger and then fall into the box. The main task of this invention is to to make a cardboard coat hanger, that has an adequate structure to support the weight of any type of clothing. Within this task, one aim of the The present invention is to create a coat hanger in which the hook is hanger is securely anchored to the hanger. Another purpose of this invention is to to make a coat hanger that is easily disposable, in an environmentally friendly way. Not least, the aim of this invention is to to make a coat hanger that is high reliability, relatively simple production and at competitive costs. This task, as well as these and other purposes which will appear better later, are achieved from a coat hanger, comprising a body internal suitable for being coupled internally to an external body, a hanging hook being expected coupled to the coupling between the inner body and the outer body, characterized by the fact that said internal body is provided with a central region defining its inside a groove to accommodate the stem of said hanging hook. Additional features and benefits of the found will result more from the description of preferred embodiments, but not exclusive, of the coat hanger according to the present invention, illustrated by way of example indicative and not limiting in the attached drawings, in which: Figure 1 illustrates in perspective view in exploded the hanger according to the present finding in agreement with its first form of implementation; Figure 2 illustrates the perspective view of the hanger of figure 1; Figure 3 shows a front view of longitudinal section, the hanger of figures 1- 2; Figure 4 shows a cross-sectional view longitudinal the hanger according to a variant of the first embodiment; Figure 5 shows a cross-sectional view longitudinal the hanger according to the variant illustrated in figure 4. Figure 6 illustrates in perspective view in exploded the hanger according to the present finding in agreement with a second form of realization; Figure 7 Figure 2 illustrates in view perspective view of the hanger in figure 6; Figures 8-10 illustrate in view perspective, partial, a detail of the hanger according to the present invention in accordance with its second embodiment; Figure 11 shows a front view of the longitudinal section, a detail of the hanger of figures 6-10; Figures 12a-12e illustrate in view perspective different forms of embodiment of hooks applicable to the hanger according to this found. With reference to the figures, the hanger coat hanger according to the present invention, in agreement with its first form of implementation, globally indicated by the reference number 1, comprises an internal body 2 suitable for being interlockingly coupled to an external body 3, the external body 3 has a hole 6 for the passage of a blocked hanging hook 5 internally from a 8 nut (or other systems of locking as you will see in figures 12a-12e). Conveniently, both the inner body 2 and the outer body 3 are made of pulp cellulose, paper, cardboard or other materials paper technicians. Conveniently, the inner body 2 is made as a closed box-shaped body that is is coupled (and / or glued) internally to the body external 3 which is a hollow body. The internal body 2 is suitably equipped with a central portion 2a which is provided with a T-shaped groove 2b, for the reception of the hanging hook shank 5. The T-slot partially affects the thickness of the central portion 2a of the body interior 2. Figure 2 illustrates the body coupling internal 2 within the external body 3, interlocking and / or gluing with hanging hook 5 inserted in hole 6, housed in the groove 2b and locked by nut 8 within groove 2b and possibly glued. Conveniently, the present finding can be equipped with an additional horizontal element 4, with the function of holding up trousers or other heads, this element can be made of paper or cardboard having different sections, and is glued or embedded in elements 2, 3 or both. It may be appropriate to provide for a closing element 15 which can be equipped with 15a holes for passage and anchoring of the horizontal element 4. Figure 3 illustrates a variant of the first embodiment illustrated above, in the which is expected to be the central portion 2a of the internal body 2 is provided with a flap 13 tipper, as illustrated in figure 5, such to occlude cavity 11 and thus allow keep hook 5 completely submerged in all the central portion 2a. Figure 4 illustrates the above variant described, with the flap 13 in condition of closing, that is, overturned when closing the groove 2b, while figure 5 illustrates the same variant with the 13 in flap opening condition, with therefore the hook 5 in evidence. Figure 6 illustrates a second form of making the coat hanger according to the present invention. This embodiment differs from the first embodiment for the fact of providing for an additional element 15 capable of being arranged for closure of the coupling between the internal body 2 and the external body 3, so as to create a shell completely closed. The element or body 15 can be equipped with 15a holes for passage and anchoring of the horizontal element 4. Element 15 is internally hollow and is suitable to accommodate the protruding portion 2c of the body interior 2. In this way, the internal body 2 combined with the body 15 becomes a closed shell that goes to to lodge entirely within the outer body 3 which is, as mentioned, hollow. The body 15 can be made in a single piece or two or more pieces. Figure 7 illustrates the second form of making the coat hanger according to the found in assembled condition. Figure 8 illustrates a first form of construction of the central portion 2a of the coat hanger according to the present invention, in accordance with what has already been illustrated in the first embodiment of figures 1-5 and in in accordance with what is illustrated in figure 6. The central portion of the hanger according to the found can also be made according to the variant illustrated in figures 9 and 10, i.e. with a foldable portion 20 which is internally equipped with a portion of groove 2b, with the remaining portion of groove 2b which is defined corresponding to the fixed part of the region central 2nd of the hanger. In this way, the hook 5 is housed within this groove, as in the previous one embodiment, with the portion 20-fold flipper, which is comparable to the flap 13 of the previous embodiment, which is closes on the fixed portion of the region central 2a, thus maintaining the hook 5 firmly anchored between the two portions of the central region 2a. Thus, the hook it is completely hidden and incorporated into possibly glued in the central region 2a. Figures 12a-12e illustrate different hook types 5, which differ in the particular type of hook fixing, obtained by means of a washer 21, as illustrated in figure 12a, a pair of washers 22 with stop 23, as illustrated in figure 12b, a pair of washers 22 with stops 23 in position below, as illustrated in the figure 12c, the die 8 already previously described in the other embodiments (figure 12d) and a single washer 24 locked by a catch 25 integrated into the hook 5 (figure 12e). These types of hooks can be used indifferently for both forms of the realization described above. In practice it has been found that the crutch coat hanger according to the present invention fulfills fully the task and the objectives set, as it allows it to be fully realized made of recyclable material and allows the hook to hanging to be coupled in a robust way to the body of the coat hanger. Furthermore, the hanger according to the invention is made to be a shell completely closed by virtue of the coupling between the various elements and components. The coat hanger thus conceived is susceptible to numerous modifications and variations, all falling within the scope of the attached Furthermore, all the details can be replaced by other technically elements equivalents. In practice, the materials used, as well as the contingent dimensions and shapes, may be any depending on the needs and the state of the technique.
