Description

[0001] The invention relates to a modular coat rack which is formed with a base and a stand part extending perpendicularly from the base, wherein a drawer is integrated into the base, and wherein the end of the stand part facing away from the base is formed with a head part for receiving a hat or a helmet or other headgear.

[0002] There are a number of devices known that can be used to hang clothes. Coat racks come in a wide variety of sizes and designs, for example, made of wood, metal, or plastic. These devices are either permanently attached to at least one wall and / or the floor and / or ceiling, or they are designed to be freely positioned anywhere. Stand bases with foldable and / or retractable legs, like tripods, are also known. These stand bases are elaborately equipped with hinges and guides.

[0003] DE 20 2004 004 259 U1 describes a variable storage stand for various utensils, consisting of at least one cross-shaped base, a multi-part, variably combinable center column, and a bracket and struts that can be inserted into the center column. The publications DE 297 06 597 U1, DE 20 2014 006 717 U1, DE 20 2010 002 073, and DE 20 2022 102 262 U1 concern a helmet holder.

[0004] DE 10 2018 115 636 A1 discloses a stand for supporting an object. The stand consists of a stand and a base attached to the stand. Documents CN 215 304 822 U and CN 107 684 317 A disclose telescopic, height-adjustable clothes racks that provide a drawer.

[0005] It is the object of the present invention to provide an improved coat rack that can be modified and / or expanded in a modular manner.

[0006] This object is achieved by a modular coat rack having the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments with expedient further developments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims.

[0007] The modular coat rack according to the invention is characterized in that a region of the base located away from the stand part and / or a region of the stand part located away from the base is formed from a magnetizable or magnetic material, and in that at least one magnetically connectable supplementary component is provided for magnetic coupling to the base and / or to the stand part. A particular advantage of this coat rack is that the individual components can be freely positioned using magnetic material, allowing the coat rack to be modularly adapted to individual needs.

[0008] Thanks to the drawer integrated in the invention, even smaller items, such as keys, can be stored directly on or in the coat rack without them getting lost or slipping around uncontrollably.

[0009] It is advantageous if a rail extending perpendicular to the stand is attached or magnetically attachable to the stand part, which includes at least two fastening elements for holding a pair of trousers. This allows the trousers to be hung independently of other garments, which is particularly advantageous for drying the trousers or for easier access to the trousers.

[0010] In the coat rack, the rail is preferably an additional component. The head section can preferably be designed as a ball head. This design is particularly preferred for storing motorcycle clothing. The use of a ball head allows for the safe storage of a crash helmet, motorcycle helmet, or other headgear.

[0011] It is possible, for example, if uniform trouser widths are required, to design the coat rack in such a way that the fastening elements are formed by protruding, fixed nipples on the rail, with the nipples being immovably attached to the rail. The nipples prevent the trousers from slipping off the rail or from the modular coat rack, to which the rail is magnetically connected. Welding the rail to the rack section is also possible.

[0012] However, for pants of varying widths, it's advantageous if the fastening elements are adjustable, at least in sections along the rail. This allows each person to adjust the coat rack to their individual clothing size.

[0013] An advantageous design of the modular coat rack is that the fastening elements are in the form of hooks, which prevents the trousers attached to the rail from slipping.

[0014] To hang up headgear, especially the helmet, and provide additional support if necessary, especially with heavy protective clothing such as a motorcycle helmet, it has proven advantageous to have a bracket attached to the stand. The bracket is multifunctional and can be used, for example, to hang a coat hanger, support a safety helmet, or secure a chin strap to prevent helmets from falling off.

[0015] In a further design, the hanger extends only on one side of the stand part, thus saving enormous space, especially when the modular coat rack is placed on or near a wall.

[0016] It's also advantageous if the stand section is height-adjustable without tools. This allows anyone to adjust the coat rack to the desired height without excessive effort or additional tools.

[0017] In this case, it is conceivable, for example, that the stand part is formed from a fixed part connected to the base and a movable part that is adjustable relative to the base, wherein the fixed part can be temporarily locked relative to the movable part by means of a locking element.

[0018] In order to enable tool-free locking of the stand part, locking bolts or other locking elements, in particular wing screws, star screws or toggle screws, can be used.

[0019] Another design option is to provide the fixed part with a hole pattern, and to provide the locking element with a locking pin associated with the movable part. This allows for easy adjustment without tools and without requiring significant force.

[0020] It is advantageous if the supplementary component is in the form of a support plate that extends perpendicularly to the stand part, and if the support plate is magnetically coupled to the stand part. This provides a freely positionable holder whose position can be changed according to requirements or the objects to be stored. It is also advantageous if the support plate is magnetically attached to the base.

[0021] It's also possible to design the base of the support plate with one or more raised edges. This allows, for example, several keys to be placed at once without them falling or sliding off.

[0022] The supplementary component is preferably—alternatively or additionally—in the form of a holder consisting of a base, a rear wall extending perpendicularly from the base, and a receiving plate extending perpendicularly from the rear wall, having at least one receiving opening. The rear wall of the holder is preferably provided with one or more magnets to magnetically couple the holder to the stand part.

[0023] An advantageous option is to have one or more raised edges on the base so that the cans have a secure stand and do not tip over.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment of the coat rack according to the invention, the holder is formed as a can holder, the receiving plate of which extends substantially congruently parallel to the standing surface and comprises at least two of the receiving openings.

[0025] In an advantageous further development of the coat rack according to the invention, the holder is designed as a care and / or cleaning agent holder, the receiving plate of which extends incompletely, only partially, parallel to the base and comprises only a single receiving opening. This allows the care and cleaning agent to be stored carefully without leakage.

[0026] For storing gloves, especially leather motorcycle gloves, it is advantageous if the additional component is in the form of a glove holder, either alternatively or in addition to the rack. This holder comprises a base that can be magnetically coupled to the rack and is formed by two V-shaped struts extending from the base. This allows the gloves to be well ventilated and, if necessary, also dried.

[0027] In order to also hang other parts, items of clothing, or objects on the coat rack, it is advantageous if the additional component is alternatively or additionally in the form of a backpack and / or bag holder, which comprises two offset base parts for magnetic coupling to the rack part. The base parts preferably each comprise one or more magnets. The base parts are connected to one another via a vertical strut, and a horizontal strut is arranged at a first end of the vertical strut, which comprises two opposite ends. At each end of the horizontal strut, a side strut is attached, which extends from a second end of the vertical strut.

[0028] Reliable storage is ensured if the side struts of this design of a backpack and / or bag holder extend towards each other in a V-shape.

[0029] For the storage of shoes, particularly leather shoes for motorcyclists, for example, the additional component is alternatively or additionally in the form of a shoe holder, which is designed in the manner of a rod. A first end of the rod is formed with a curved surface for magnetic coupling to the base and / or to the stand part, and a second end of the rod comprises a curved surface for holding a shoe. The curved surface is preferably realized by a magnet. The curved surface serves to gently hold a shoe. With the help of the shoe holder, a single shoe can be stored, whereby it retains its shape and can dry well when wet.

[0030] A preferred further development provides for an electrically operated heater integrated into the shoe rack, which is electrically powered when the non-curved surface is coupled to the base and / or the stand section. This allows the shoe to dry quickly when wet. It also remains pleasantly warm when the shoe is removed from the modular coat rack and put on.

[0031] To neatly hang ropes, straps, or cables, an advantageous design of the coat rack is that the additional component is alternatively or additionally in the form of a rope holder. The rope holder consists of a central part, which can be magnetically coupled to the base and / or the stand part, and a base plate. Two fingers protrude from the base plate, with each of the fingers protruding from the base plate at an angle of between 30 degrees and 50 degrees, in particular at an angle of 45 degrees.

[0032] It is also advantageous if the base is equipped with a plurality of casters on the side facing away from the stand part, at least one of which is equipped with a locking device. This allows the coat rack to be moved or rolled variably without requiring much force.

[0033] There is also the advantageous design option that the base is provided with a plurality of anti-slip rubber feet on the side facing away from the stand part, which gives the coat rack a firm footing.

[0034] The features and feature combinations mentioned above in the description, as well as the features and feature combinations mentioned below in the description of the figures and / or shown alone in the figures, can be used not only in the respective combinations specified, but also in other combinations or on their own, without departing from the scope of the invention. Thus, embodiments are also to be considered encompassed and disclosed by the invention that are not explicitly shown or explained in the figures, but which emerge and can be produced from the explained embodiments through separate feature combinations.

[0035] Further advantages, features, and details of the invention will become apparent from the claims, the following description of preferred embodiments, and the drawings. These show: Fig. 1 a perspective view of a modular coat rack; Fig. 2 a side view of the coat rack according to Figure 1 ; Fig. 3 a perspective view of a modular coat rack with castors; Fig. 4 a side view of the coat rack made of Figure 2; Fig. 5 a bottom view of a supplementary component in the form of a rail with a groove in which the fastening elements in the form of hooks (not shown) are guided; Fig. 6 a side view of a supplementary component in the form of a rail without a groove, in which the fastening elements are in the form of fixed nipples; Fig. 7 a perspective view of a supplementary component in the form of a support plate; Fig. 8 a perspective view of a supplementary component in the form of a can holder; Fig. 9 a perspective view of a supplementary component in the form of a care and / or cleaning agent holder; Fig. 10 a side view of a supplementary component in the form of a glove holder; Fig. 11 a side view of a supplementary component in the form of a backpack and / or bag holder; Fig. 12 a side view of two supplementary components in the form of shoe holders; Fig. 13 a perspective view of a supplementary component in the form of a rope holder; and Fig.14A side view of a modular coat rack on casters, to which additional components are attached in the form of a support plate, in the form of a bag and / or backpack holder, in the form of a can holder, in the form of two shoe holders, and in the form of a care and / or cleaning agent holder.

[0036] In the Figures 1 and 2 A modular coat rack 100 is shown, which is formed with a base 102 and a stand part 104 extending perpendicularly from the base 102. The stand part 104 can be permanently connected to the base 102, for example, welded. The stand part 104 can also be detachably connected to the base 104, for example, screwed. A drawer 106 is integrated into the base 102 and can be pulled out using a handle 184.

[0037] The end of the stand part 104 facing away from the base 102 is formed with a head part 108 for holding a hat, helmet, or other headgear. The head part 108 is designed, in particular, to hold a motorcycle helmet with a round ball head. A bracket 114 extending only on one side is additionally assigned to the stand part 104, which ensures that a helmet mounted on the ball head cannot slip off.

[0038] A region of the base 102 located away from the stand part 104 and a region of the stand part 104 located away from the stand foot are formed from a magnetizable or magnetic material.

[0039] The stand part 104 is designed to be vertically telescopic. To this end, the stand part 104 comprises a fixed part 116 connected to the base 102 and a movable part 118 that is adjustable relative to the base 102 and thus relative to the fixed part 116, to which the head part 108 is then attached. The fixed part 116 of the stand part 104 can then be permanently connected to the base 102, for example, welded. The fixed part 116 of the stand part 104 can also be detachably connected to the base 104, for example, screwed. To determine the size of the modular coat rack, the fixed part 116 can be temporarily fixed relative to the movable part 118 using a locking element 120. The change using the locking element 120 allows the user to use an individually adjustable coat rack that can be adapted to the user's needs.

[0040] The stand part 104 is height-adjustable without tools and can be adjusted to the desired height at any time. To achieve tool-free height adjustment of the stand part 104, the fixed part 116 has a hole pattern 122 ( Fig. 14 ), into whose holes a locking pin 124 assigned to the movable part 118 can engage to determine the height. The use of a different locking element 120, for example in the form of a wing screw, a star screw, or a toggle screw, is also possible. In all variants, a non-ratcheting locking by means of clamping with the screws is also possible. In this way, there is no discrete length change predetermined by the locking hole spacing, but rather a continuous length adjustment can be achieved.

[0041] From the point of view Figure 2It can be seen that the base 102 is provided with rubber feet 174 on its side facing away from the stand part 104. These reinforce the secure and non-displaceable position of the coat rack 100.

[0042] Instead of the rubber feet 174, castors 176 can also be used, as in the modular coat stand 100 of the Figures 3 and 4 This coat stand 100 has, with the exception of the castors 176, the same elements as the coat stand according to the Figures 1 and 2 By using the rollers 176, the coat rack 100 can be moved or rolled variably without exerting much force. In this case, at least one locking device 178 is assigned to the rollers 176 so that the desired position of the modular coat rack 100 can be determined.

[0043] The coat rack 100 achieves its modularity by having at least one magnetically connectable supplementary component 200 assigned to it for magnetic coupling to the base 102 and / or to the stand part 104. For this purpose, the modular coat rack 100 shown in the figures comprises a portion of the base 102 and a portion of the stand part 104, which is formed from a magnetizable or magnetic material.

[0044] For example, a rail 110 extending perpendicularly to the stand part 104 is attached to the stand part 104, in particular magnetically using a magnet 180. With a magnetic attachment, the rail 110 forms one of the supplementary components 200.

[0045] In the design of the modular coat rack according to the Figures 1 and 2 the rail 110 is as shown in Figure 5formed, providing a groove 188 in which at least two fastening elements 112, in this case in the form of hooks, are guided for receiving a pair of trousers. To accommodate trousers of different sizes, the distance between the fastening elements 112 can be changed; for this purpose, the fastening elements 112 are displaced in the rail 110.

[0046] The fastening elements 112 can be used in another possible design of the rail 110, as shown in Figure 6 As shown, they can be arranged as fixed nipples 186 on the rail 110 if, for example, trousers of a uniform size are to be hung. These nipples 186 are then immovably attached to the rail 110, preferably formed integrally with the rail 110, thereby preventing the trousers from slipping.

[0047] In Figure 7The supplementary component 200 is shown in the form of a support plate 126. The support plate 126 extends perpendicularly relative to the stand part 104, wherein the support plate 126 is magnetically coupled to the stand part 104. A magnet 180 is provided for this purpose. This provides a freely positionable support plate 126 on the base 102 and / or the stand part 104. In the present case, the support plate 126 has a plurality of upstands 140 to prevent deposited objects from sliding off the support plate 126.

[0048] The supplementary component 200 can also be in the form of a holder 128. This holder is in Figure 8shown in the form of a can holder 138. The can holder 138 comprises a rear wall 132 extending perpendicularly from a base 130, to which a magnet 180 is assigned. Furthermore, the can holder 138 comprises a receiving plate 134 extending perpendicularly from the rear wall 132 and having at least one receiving opening 136. The rear wall 132 can therefore be magnetically coupled to the stand part 104 and / or to the base 102. The base 130 also comprises one or more upstands 140. In the can holder 138 shown here, the receiving surface 136 is formed essentially congruently and parallel to the base 130. In the present case, two of the receiving openings 136 are present, but this number is purely exemplary, and a different number is possible. For example, there may also be three or more than three receiving openings 136. In some embodiments there are a maximum of six receiving openings 136.

[0049] A further embodiment of a holder 128 is shown in Figure 9 , where the holder 128 is a care and / or cleaning agent holder 142. There is only a single receiving opening 136, with the receiving plate 134 extending parallel to the base 130 only in some areas. This allows the care and cleaning agent to be carefully stored without spillage, while still leaving enough space to accommodate other items.

[0050] In Figure 10 A supplementary component 200 in the form of a glove holder 144 is shown, which comprises a base 146 that can be magnetically coupled to the stand part 104. In particular, a magnet 180 is assigned to the base 146. The glove holder 144 is formed from two struts 148 extending in a V shape from the base 146. This allows the gloves to be hung individually, well ventilated, and—if necessary—dried.

[0051] The Figure 11shows a supplementary component 200 in the form of a backpack and / or bag holder 150, wherein two base parts 152 are connected to a vertical strut 154. A horizontal strut 156 is arranged at a first end of the vertical strut 154, wherein a side strut 158 ​​is attached to each end of the horizontal strut 156, which side strut extends in a V-shape from a second end of the vertical strut 154. Here, too, nipples 182 are fixedly arranged on the horizontal strut 156 (at the end) to prevent a suspended bag or backpack from slipping off. These nipples 182 are designed analogously to the nipples 186 that are present in a non-displaceable solution of a rail 110 for a trouser holder.

[0052] In Figure 12A supplementary component 200 in the form of a shoe holder 160 is shown, which in this case is designed in the manner of a rod. A first end of the rod is formed with a non-curved surface 162 for magnetic coupling 180 to the base 102 and / or to the stand part 104. A magnet 180 is preferably assigned to the non-curved surface 162. A second end of the rod comprises a curved surface 164 for receiving a shoe. This allows the shoe to be stored individually, and the shoe holder 160 can be variably attached to the coat rack 100. Not shown in detail but advantageous is the electrically operated heater integrated into the shoe holder 160; it can be automatically supplied with power when the shoe holder 160 is magnetically coupled.

[0053] To hang ropes, straps or cables neatly, Figure 13A supplementary component 200 in the form of a cable holder 166 is shown. The cable holder 166 is formed from a central part 168, which can be magnetically coupled—again with a magnet 180—to the base 102 and / or to the column part 104. A hook 190 with a T-shaped cross-section is located on the central part 168. Furthermore, two fingers 172 protrude from the base plate 170, each of the fingers 172 being formed to protrude from the base plate 170 at an angle of between 30 degrees and 50 degrees, in this case at an angle of 45 degrees.

[0054] In Figure 14 Finally, a modular coat rack 100 is shown, which corresponds to the previously described coat racks 100 according to the Figures 3 and 4 However, it is provided with a plurality of additional components 200. It includes the support plate 126 made of Figure 5 on its stand part 104, the can holder 138 from Figure 6on its stand part 104, the care and / or cleaning agent holder made of Figure 7 on its base 102, the glove holder made of Figure 8 on its stand part 104, the backpack and / or bag holder 150 made of Figure 9 on its stand part 104 and two of the shoe holders 160 from Figure 10 on its base 102.
