Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Mittel zum Bündeln von Hängern mit Haken gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a means for bundling hangers with hooks according to the preamble of claim 1.

Der Begriff "Hänger" bezieht sich auf Kleider- oder Wäschebügel, aufhängbare Schuhoder Gürtelträger oder beliebige andere Warenträger. Derartige Hänger mit Haken konnten bisher weitgehend nur durch Umschnüren der Hakenschäfte mit einem Garn, Draht oder ähnlichem zusammengefaßt, d.h. gebündelt werden.The term "hanger" refers to clothes or laundry hanger, suspension shoe or Belt carrier or any other goods carriers. Such hangers with hooks could until now largely only by strapping the hook shafts with a yarn, Wire or the like, i. be bundled.

Die Druckschrift US 4,296,959 zeigt eine Vorrichtung zum,Tragen und Bündeln von Wäschebügeln, die aus einem harten, unverformbaren Kunststoff hergestellt ist. Diese Vorrichtung weist eine ausgesteifte Kunststoffplatte mit hakenförmigem oberem Ende auf, das auf eine Tragstange aufhängbar ist. Am unteren Ende der Kunststoffplatte sind über zwei seitliche und einen mittleren Steg zwei Haltestangen angeformt, auf denen die Haken von Bügeln aufgehängt werden können. Diese Kunststoffvorrichtung ist durch Versteifungsrippen sehr stabil ausgebildet, um das gesamte Gewicht der an ihr aufgehängten Bügeln von den Haltestangen zu dem oberen hakenförmig gebogenen Abschnitt übertragen zu können. Sie ist daher sehr aufwendig und teuer in der Herstellung.The document US 4,296,959 shows an apparatus for carrying and bundling Laundry hanger, which is made of a hard, non-deformable plastic. These Device has a stiffened plastic plate with hook-shaped upper end which can be hung on a support rod. At the bottom of the plastic plate are Formed on two lateral and one central bridge two handrails on which the Hook can be hung by ironing. This plastic device is through Stiffening ribs designed to be very stable, to the full weight of the suspended on her Ironing from the handrails to the upper hook-shaped bent portion to be able to transfer. It is therefore very complicated and expensive to manufacture.

Die Druckschrift NL 71 00 085 zeigt eine ebene Bündellasche gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. Diese Bündellasche dient, anders als die Vorrichtung aus der US 4,296,959, nur zum Bündeln der Wäschebügel und nicht zum Tragen der Bügel. Die Laschen können daher sehr einfach ausgebildet, kostengünstig in der Herstellung und leicht zu handhaben sein. Sie erfüllen aber ausschließlich die Bündelfunktion. Nach dem Aufschieben auf die vertikalen Schäfte der Haken erstrecken sich diese Bündellaschen zu den Schäften im wesentlichen rechtwinklig und bieten dem Kunden nur eine sehr kleine sichtbare Fläche.The document NL 71 00 085 shows a flat bundle bag according to the preamble of claim 1. This bundle bag is, unlike the device from the No. 4,296,959, only for bundling the laundry hanger and not for carrying the hanger. The Tabs can therefore be made very simple, inexpensive to manufacture and easy to handle. But they only fulfill the bundle function. After this Sliding on the vertical shanks of the hook, these bundle straps extend to the shanks substantially at right angles and offer the customer only a very small visible area.

Aufgabe der Erfindung, ist es, ein leicht handhabbares Bündelmittel zu schaffen, welches neben dem Bündeln noch eine weitere Funktion erfüllen kann.The object of the invention is to provide an easily handled bundling means, which in addition to bundling can fulfill another function.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teils des Patentanspruchs 1 in Verbindung mit den Merkmalen seines Oberbegriffs gelöst.This object is achieved by the features of the characterizing part of claim 1 in conjunction with the features of its preamble.

Die erfindungsgemäße Bündellasche besteht aus einer Hauptlasche aus dünnwandigem, im wesentlichen formbeständigem Material, vorzugsweise Kunststoff, und aus einem Haltesteg, der sich an eine lange Kante der Hauptlasche anschließt und mit der Hauptlasche in den Randbereichen fest verbunden ist, so daß im mittleren Bereich der Bündellasche zwischen Hauptlasche und Haltesteg eine längliche Durchtrittsöffnung für den Durchtritt der Haken gebildet ist.The bundle bag according to the invention consists of a main flap made of thin-walled, essentially dimensionally stable material, preferably plastic, and from a Retaining tab, which connects to a long edge of the main tab and the main tab is firmly connected in the edge regions, so that in the central region of the bundle flap between the main plate and holding web an elongated passage opening for the Passage of the hook is formed.

Zum Bündeln mehrerer Hänger oder Bügel sind diese nebeneinander auf einer Tragstange aufzuhängen, wobei die freien Enden der Haken in die gleiche Richtung weisen. Die Bündellasche wird an der Hauptlasche ergriffen und mit ihrer Durchtrittsöffnung über die freien Enden der Haken geschoben. Anschließend wird sie durch Ziehen an der Hauptlasche um die Tragstange herumgezogen, wobei der Haltesteg unter den gekrümmten Abschnitten der Haken hindurchgleitet, bis die Hauptlasche auf dem Hänger oder Bügel aufliegt. In dieser Stellung verharrt die Bündellasche, wobei ihre Durchtrittsöffnung die Schäfte der Haken umfaßt und somit die Hänger zu einem Gebinde zusammenfaßt.To bundle several hangers or temples they are next to each other on a support bar hang with the free ends of the hook pointing in the same direction. The bundle flap is gripped on the main flap and with its passage opening pushed over the free ends of the hooks. She will then pull on the Main tab pulled around the support rod, with the retaining bar under the curved Slides sections of hooks until the main strap on the trailer or strap rests. In this position, the bundle lobe remains, with its passage opening the shanks of the hooks and thus the hangers to a container summarizes.

Eine Oberfläche der Hauptlasche, die von den Hakenschäften abgewandt ist, ist frei sichtbar und kann zur Beschriftung oder zur Aufnahme eines Etiketts verwendet werden. Die Beschriftung und das Etikett können vor oder nach dem Bündeln der Hänger angebracht werden. Die Bündellasche erfüllt in dieser Anordnung zur Lötung der erfindungsgemäßen Aufgabe eine doppelte Funktion, nämlich das Bündeln einer Anzahl von Hängern, deren Haken von der Durchtrittsöffnung umfaßt werden, und zweitens das Tragen einer Auszeichnung, die allen Waren dieses Gebindes gemeinsam zugeordnet ist. Damit eine Oberfläche der Hauptlasche für einen Betrachter gut sichtbar ist, ist der Haltesteg zur Ebene der Hauptlasche abgewinkelt.A surface of the main flap which faces away from the hook shafts is free visible and can be used to label or to receive a label. The label and label can be attached before or after bundling the hangers become. The bundle flap fulfills in this arrangement for soldering the inventive Task a dual function, namely bundling a number of Hangers whose hooks are covered by the passage opening, and secondly the Carrying an award that is assigned to all goods of this package together is. So that a surface of the main flap for a viewer is clearly visible, is the Angled stanchion to the plane of the main flap.

Üblicherweise werden mit einer Bündellasche, deren Hauptlasche eine Breite von etwa 9 cm aufweist, 5 bis 10 Kleiderbügel zusammengefaßt.Usually, with a bundle flap whose main flap has a width of about 9 cm, combined 5 to 10 hangers.

Insbesondere eignet sich die Bündellasche zur Verwendung in den Zwischenlagern größerer Handelsketten. Hier werden von den unterschiedlichen Waren Gebinde mit mehreren Einzelwaren zusammengestellt, welche jeweils an einen Empfänger gerichtet werden. Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Bündellasche kann das Gebinde mit mehreren Waren auf einfache Weise zusammengefügt werden und der Empfänger auf der Hauptlasche vermerkt werden. Selbstverständlich eignet sich die Bündellasche aber auch zum Auszeichnen eines Warengebindes in den Verkaufsräumen. In particular, the bundle bag is suitable for use in the intermediate storage larger retail chains. Here are from the different goods containers with several individual goods, each directed to a recipient become. With the bundle bag according to the invention, the container with several Goods are easily put together and the recipient on the Main tab be noted. Of course, the bundle bag is suitable also for distinguishing a goods container in the salesrooms.

Der Haltesteg ist ebenfalls flach ausgebildet und weist eine Wandstärke auf, die der Wandstärke der Hauptlasche im wesentlichen entspricht. Die Hauptebene des Haltesteges ist dabei wie erwähnt zur Ebene der Hauptlasche abgewinkelt. Die Bündellasche hat somit die Form einer dünnen abgewinkelten Platte, an deren Abwinklung die Durchtrittsöffnung angeordnet ist. Diese Bündellasche läßt sich besonders einfach über die an eine Stange gehängten Haken schieben, da der kurze flache Haltesteg, der zwischen den Haken und der Stange hindurchzuführen ist, einen geringen Gleitwiderstand aufweist. Bei dünnen Haken aus Metalldraht hat die Durchtrittsöffnung eine Breite von etwa 3 mm. The retaining bar is also flat and has a wall thickness on, which corresponds to the wall thickness of the main flap substantially. The main level of the retaining bar is angled as mentioned to the plane of the main flap. The Bunched bag thus has the form of a thin angled plate at the bend the passage opening is arranged. This bundle bag is particularly special simply slide over the hooks hung on a pole, as the short flat retaining bar, which is to be passed between the hook and the rod, a small one Has sliding resistance. For thin hooks made of metal wire has the passage opening a width of about 3 mm.

Der Winkel zwischen der Hauptebene des Haltestegs und der Hauptlasche sollte kleiner als 90° sein. Der im spitzen Winkel zur Hauptlasche stehende Haltesteg bildet dann einen Anschlag für die Schäfte der Haken der Hänger und hält die Hauptlasche im wesentlichen parallel zu den Hakenschäften, damit sie gut sichtbar ist.The angle between the main plane of the retaining bar and the main flap should be less than 90 °. The standing at an acute angle to the main lug Haltesteg then forms a stop for the shafts of the hooks of the trailer and holds the main flap substantially parallel to the hook stems, so that it is clearly visible.

Wenn die Bündellasche für das Bündeln von Hängern mit Kunststoffhaken vorgesehen ist, ist die Durchtrittsöffnung zur Aufnahme der im Vergleich zu Metallhaken dickeren Kunststoffhaken breiter auszubilden. Die notwendige Breite der Durchtrittsöffnung liegt meist zwischen 8 und 15 mm. In diesem Fall sollte die Hauptlasche der Bündellasche mit einem Übergangsradius, z.B. 5 bis 10 mm, in den Haltesteg übergehen. Die Durchtrittsöffnung kann sich bis in den gekrümmten Grenzbereich zwischen Hauptlasche und Haltesteg erstrecken.If the bundle bag for bundling hangers with plastic hooks is provided, the passage opening for receiving the in comparison to form metal hooks thicker plastic hook wider. The necessary Width of the passage opening is usually between 8 and 15 mm. In In this case, the main flap of the bundle flap should have a transition radius, e.g. 5 to 10 mm, go over into the retaining bar. The passage opening can get into the curved border area between main flap and holding bridge extend.

Um einen Verschleiß der Bündellasche insbesondere in dem mechanisch stark belasteten Bereich der Durchtrittsöffnung möglichst klein zu halten, können die an die Durchtrittsöffnung angrenzenden Bereiche der Hauptlasche bzw. des Haltestegs mit einer Verstärkungswulst versehen werden. Ebenfalls bietet es sich an, in den seitlichen Winkelbereichen zwischen dem Haltesteg und der Hauptlasche Verstärkungswände anzuordnen. Hierdurch wird ein unerwünschtes Aufbiegen der Bündellasche sowie ein Ausreißen der miteinander verbundenen Randbereiche zwischen Hauptlasche und Haltesteg vermieden.To wear the bundle bag especially in the mechanical heavily loaded area of the passage opening to keep as small as possible, can the adjacent to the passage opening areas of the main flap or the holding web are provided with a reinforcing bead. It also makes sense in the lateral angular ranges between the Retaining bar and the main strap reinforcing walls to arrange. hereby becomes an undesirable bending of the bundle bag and a tearing the interconnected edge regions between the main flap and Haltesteg avoided.

Eine mehrfach verwendbare Bündellasche besteht vorzugsweise aus spritzgegossenem Kunststoff-Material mit einer Materialstärke von etwa 1 mm. Sie kann aber auch aus einem dünnen Metallblech geformt werden. Diese relativ starren und widerstandsfähigen Bündellaschen bieten eine ebene Aufnahmefläche für maschinenlesbare Etiketten, z.B. Barcode-Etiketten. Derartige Etiketten können in der Regel auf einer unebenen Aufnahmefläche nicht maschinell gelesen werden. A reusable bundle bag is preferably injection molded Plastic material with a material thickness of about 1 mm. But it can also be formed from a thin metal sheet. These relatively rigid and resistant bundle pockets provide a level Pick-up area for machine-readable labels, e.g. Barcode labels. Such labels can usually be on a uneven receiving surface not be read by machine.

Ist die erfindungsgemäße Bündellasche nur für die einmalige Verwendung vorgesehen, so ist auch die Verwendung eines reißfesten Kartons möglich.Is the bundle bag according to the invention only for single use provided, so the use of a tear-resistant cardboard is possible.

Vorteilhafterweise beträgt die Länge der Bündellasche das Dreifache der Höhe der Bündellasche. Bei einer Bündellasche aus 1 mm starkem Kunststoffmaterial ist z.B. eine Länge von 90 mm und eine Höhe von 30 mm vorteilhaft. Es können auch zwei oder mehrere dieser Bündellaschen zur Bildung einer besonders langen Bündelvorrichtung aneinandergefügt sein. Besonders vorteilhaft ist das Aneinanderfügen mehrerer Bündellaschen über eine Sollbruchlinie. Der Benutzer kann durch Abbrechen der gewünschten Anzahl der Bündellaschen selbst bestimmen, wieviele der Hänger zu einem Gebinde zusammengefaßt werden sollen. Es muß darauf geachtet werden, daß die Sollbruchlinie widerstandsfähig genug ist, uni das zusammengefaßte Gebinde zusammenzuhalten.Advantageously, the length of the bundle flap is three times that of Height of the bundle bag. For a bundle bag made of 1 mm thick plastic material is e.g. a length of 90 mm and a height of 30 mm advantageous. It can also be two or more of these bundle pockets for Forming a particularly long bundling device be joined together. Particularly advantageous is the joining together of multiple bundle tabs over a predetermined breaking line. The user can cancel by canceling the desired Number of bundle tabs determine how many of the hangers to one Bundles should be summarized. Care must be taken that the predetermined breaking line is strong enough, and the combined one To hold containers together.

Wenn in der Durchtrittsöffnung weniger als die maximale Anzahl der Haken aufgenommen ist, besteht die Gefahr, daß die Bündellasche auf den Hakenschäften der Hänger verrutscht. Deshalb ist vorzugsweise ein Bereich der Durchtrittsöffnung, z.B. ihr mittlerer Bereich oder ihre beiden Endbereiche, mit einem Rastmittel versehen. Das elastisch verformbare Material der Bügellasche wird beim Einschieben eines Hakens, der etwas dicker ist als die Breite der Durchtrittsöffnung, zum Aufspreizen der Durchtrittsöffnung verformt. Beim Einschieben des Hakens in das Rastmittel federt das Materials der Bündellasche zurück, so daß das Rastmittel den Haken, insbesondere den Hakenschaft des Hängers hintergreift. Das Rastmittel kann entweder aus einer Rastausnehmung in mindestens einem Rand der Durchtrittsöffnung oder aus einem Rastvorsprung in der Nähe des Endes der Durchtrittsöffnung bestehen. Im mittleren Bereich der Durchtrittsöffnung können zwei mit Abstand nebeneinander angeordnete Rastvorsprünge das Rastmittel bilden.If in the passage opening less than the maximum number of hooks is included, there is a risk that the bundle luff on the Hakenschäften the trailer slips. Therefore, preferably, an area of Passage opening, e.g. their middle region or their two end regions, provided with a locking means. The elastically deformable material of Strap becomes when inserting a hook that is slightly thicker than the width of the passage opening, for spreading the passage opening deformed. When inserting the hook in the locking means the material springs the bundle flap back, so that the locking means the hook, in particular behind the hook shaft of the trailer. The locking means can either from a latching recess in at least one edge of the passage opening or from a locking projection in the vicinity of the end of the passage opening consist. In the central region of the passage opening two with Distance juxtaposed latching projections form the locking means.

Die Bündellasche sollte möglichst auch dann rechtwinklig zu der Erstrekkung der Hänger ausgerichtet sein, wenn nur ein oder wenige Haken durch die Durchtrittsöffnung geschoben sind. Dies ist insbesondere dann erforderlich, wenn auf der Hauptlasche Informationsträger, z.B. Barcode-Etiketten angebracht sind, die maschinell gelesen werden sollen. Zum Ausrichten der Bündellasche können dem Rastmittel zugeordnete Anschlagskörper vorgesehen werden, welche bei in dem Rastmittel gehaltenen Haken gegen die Flanke des Bügels dann anliegen, wenn sich diese rechtwinklig zu der Hauptlasche der Bündellasche erstreckt.If possible, the bundle flap should also be at right angles to the extension The trailer should be aligned if only one or a few hooks through the passage opening are pushed. This is especially necessary if information carrier, e.g. Barcode labels are attached, which should be read by machine. To align the Bundle bag can be provided to the locking means associated stop body which, when held in the locking means against the hook Flank of the bracket then lie, if this is perpendicular to the Main tab of the bundle flap extends.

Wie insbesondere aus den Fig. 1 und 2 erkennbar, besteht die Bündellasche zum größten Teil aus einer Hauptlasche 1, welche von einer rechtwinkligen Kunststoffplatte mit abgerundeten Kanten gebildet wird. Die Hauptlasche 1 hat eine Wandstärke von etwa 1 mm. Ihre Flächenmaße betragen 9 cm x 3 cm. Die Oberfläche der Hauptlasche 1, auf der das Etikett oder die Auszeichnung anzubringen ist, liegt in Fig. 1 links bzw. auf der Rückseite der in Fig. 2 dargestellten Seite der Hauptlasche 1. As can be seen in particular from FIGS. 1 and 2, the bundle lug exists for the most part of a main flap 1, which from a rectangular Plastic plate is formed with rounded edges. The main flap 1 has a wall thickness of about 1 mm. Their surface dimensions are 9 cm x 3 cm. The surface of the main flap 1, on the label or the award is to be attached, lies in Fig. 1 left or on the back of the in Fig. 2 side of the main tab. 1

An die obere Kante der Hauptlasche 1 schließt sich ein Haltesteg 2 an, der in den Randbereichen 3,4 fest mit der Hauptlasche 1 verbunden ist. Auf diese Weise wird eine von einer Längskante der Hauptlasche 1 und einer gegenüberliegenden Längskante des Haltesteges 2 sowie von den Randbereichen 3,4 eingeschlossene längliche Durchtrittsöffnung 5 ausgebildet.At the upper edge of the main flap 1, a holding web 2 connects to the in the edge regions 3,4 is firmly connected to the main flap 1. On This is one of a longitudinal edge of the main flap 1 and a opposite longitudinal edge of the retaining web 2 and of the edge regions 3.4 enclosed elongated passage opening 5 is formed.

Um die Verbindung zwischen Hauptlasche 1 und Haltesteg 2 zu verstärken, sind Versteifungswände 6 vorgesehen, die im äußeren Randbereich der Bündellasche einen Rand des Haltestegs 2 mit einem Rand der Hauptlasche 1 verbinden. Die Versteifungswände 6 erstrecken sich rechtwinklig zur Ebene der Hauptlasche 1 und des Haltestegs 2. Je nach Größe der auf den Haltesteg wirkenden Kräfte, kann die Versteifungswand 6 auch nur einen Teilbereich des Winkels zwischen Hauptlasche 1 und Haltesteg 2 abdecken oder ganz entfallen.To strengthen the connection between the main lug 1 and the lug 2, are stiffening walls 6 are provided, which in the outer edge region of Bundle bag one edge of the retaining bar 2 with an edge of the main flap 1 connect. The stiffening walls 6 extend at right angles to Level of the main lug 1 and the jetty 2. Depending on the size of the on the Haltesteg acting forces, the stiffening wall 6 can only one Cover part of the angle between the main lug 1 and the retaining bar 2 or completely omitted.

Als weiteres Verstärkungselement ist eine Verstärkungswulst 7 in dem an die Durchtrittsöffnung 5 angrenzenden Bereich des Haltestegs 2 angeordnet. Die durch die Verstärkungswulst gebildete Materialanhäufung verhindert ein vorzeitiges Ausreißen des Haltestegs im Bereich der Durchtrittsöffnung.As a further reinforcing element is a reinforcing bead 7 in the on arranged the passage opening 5 adjacent region of the retaining web 2. The accumulation of material formed by the reinforcing bead prevents premature tearing of the holding web in the region of the passage opening.

Die Verwendung der erfindungsgemäßen Bündellasche ist in der Fig. 3 schematisch zu erkennen. Auf einer Tragstange 8 sind drei Hänger bzw. Kleiderbügel 9 mit beliebigen Waren nebeneinander aufgehängt. Die Haken 10 der Hänger 9 umgreifen die Tragstange 8 und liegen im oberen Bereich auf ihr auf, wobei ihre freien Enden 12 in die gleiche Richtung weisen. Die erfindungsgemäße Bündellasche hält die drei Haken 10, welche die Durchtrittsöffnung 5 der Bündellasche durchragen, fest zusammen. Auf der den Hakenschäften 11 abgewandten Seite der Hauptlasche 1 kann entweder eine Produktinformation oder die Adreßangabe des Empfängers des durch die Bündellasche zusammengehaltenen Gebindes angebracht werden. The use of the bundle bag according to the invention is shown in FIG. 3 to recognize schematically. On a support rod 8 are three hangers or Hanger 9 with any goods hung side by side. The hooks 10 of the trailer 9 embrace the support rod 8 and are in the upper part on her, with their free ends 12 point in the same direction. The Bundle bag according to the invention holds the three hooks 10, which the passage opening 5 through the bundle flap, firmly together. On the Hakenschäften 11 facing away from the main flap 1 can either a Product information or the address of the recipient of the by the Bundle bag held together container.

Das Anbringen der Bündellasche an den Hakenschäften 11 ist denkbar einfach. Es muß lediglich der Haltesteg 2 unter die freien Enden 12 der Haken 10 geschoben werden, wobei die Hauptlasche 1 oberhalb der Hakenenden 12 liegt. Beim Weiterziehen der Bündellasche gleitet der Haltesteg 2 zwischen den Haken 10 und der Tragstange 8 hindurch, bis er die in Fig. 3 dargestellte Position erreicht. Da der Haltesteg 2 dünnwandig ausgebildet ist, erzeugt er keinen nennenswerten Widerstand gegen das Hindurchziehen zwischen Haken 10 und Tragstange 8.The attachment of the bundle lug on the hook shafts 11 is very simple. It only needs the retaining web 2 under the free ends 12 of the hook 10 are pushed, the main tab 1 above the hook ends 12th lies. When moving the bundle leash, the retaining bar 2 slides in between the hook 10 and the support rod 8 therethrough until it is shown in FIG Position reached. Since the retaining web 2 is thin-walled, it does not produce any significant resistance to pulling between hook 10 and support bar. 8

Bei der in den Fig. 4 und 5 dargestellten langen Bündellasche grenzen zwei Hauptlaschen 1 mit Haltesteg 2 aneinander. Zwischen den-beiden Hauptlaschen 1 und Haltestegen 2 ist eine Perforationslinie 13 in dem Kunststoffmaterial vorgesehen. An dieser Sollbruchlinie kann die doppelte Bündellasche in zwei einzelne getrennt werden. In den Fig. 4 und 5 sind keine seitlichen Versteifungswände vorgesehen, da die stabile abgewinkelte Stellung des Haltestegs 2 zu der Hauptlasche 1 durch eine ausreichend hohe Widerstandskraft des Kunststoffmaterials gewährleistet ist.In the long bundle luff shown in Figs. 4 and 5, there are two Main tabs 1 with holding web 2 together. Between the two main straps 1 and retaining webs 2 is a perforation line 13 in the plastic material intended. At this predetermined breaking line, the double bundle flap be separated into two individual. In Figs. 4 and 5 are no provided lateral stiffening walls, since the stable angled Position of the retaining web 2 to the main flap 1 by a sufficiently high Resistance of the plastic material is guaranteed.

Die Fig. 6 und 7 zeigen eine Bündellasche, welche durch Rastmittel an einem Hakenschaft eines in die Enbereiche der Durchtrittsöffnung 5 eingeschobenen Hakens festrastbar sind. Hierzu sind an dem unteren Rand der Durchtrittsöffnung 5 in deren Endbereichen Rastausnehmungen 14 angeordnet, welche aufgrund der Eigenelastizität der Bügellasche einen Hakenschaft elastisch federnd aufnehmen. Zusätzlich ist an der Innenwandung der Hauptlasche 1, d.h. an der dem Haltesteg 2 zugewandten Wandung, jeweils ein Rastvorsprung 15 in dem der Rastausnehmung 14 in dem Haltesteg 2 gegenüberliegenden Bereich angeordnet. Dieser Rastvorsprung 15 verrastet, wenn ein Hakenschaft in eine der Rastausnehmungen 14 eingeschoben wird, auf der der Rastausnehmung 14 gegenüberliegenden Seite mit dem Hakenschaft. Die seitlichen Endbereiche der Haltelasche 2 sind hier mit kurzen Verstärkungsrippen 16 neben den Enden der Durchtrittsöffnungen 5 verstärkt. Figs. 6 and 7 show a bundle lug, which by latching means a hook shank one inserted into the Enbereiche of the passage opening 5 Hooks are latched. These are at the bottom of the Passage opening 5 arranged in the end regions locking recesses 14, which due to the inherent elasticity of the strap a hook shank absorb resiliently. In addition, on the inner wall of the Main tab 1, i. on the holding web 2 facing wall, respectively a latching projection 15 in which the latching recess 14 in the retaining web. 2 arranged opposite area. This latching projection 15 latches, when a hook shank is inserted into one of the recesses 14, on the opposite side of the recess 14 with the hook shank. The lateral end portions of the retaining tab 2 are here with short Reinforcing ribs 16 reinforced adjacent to the ends of the openings 5.

In der Fig. 10 ist der Haken 10 des vordersten Hängers 9 durch die Rastausnehmung 14 und den Rastvorsprung 15 in dem linken Ende der Durchtrittsöffnung 5 der Bündellasche gehalten. Damit die Bündellasche sich rechtwinklig zu diesem Hänger 9 erstreckt, ist an dem unteren Rand der Hauptlasche 1 ein flossenartiger Anschlagskörper 17 angeformt, der sich in einer rechtwinklig zur Hauptlasche 1 verlaufenden Ebene erstreckt. Die Länge des flossenartigen Anschlagskörper 17 sollte mindestens 15 mm betragen, damit er über einen breiten Bereich gegen die sich rechtwinklig zur Hauptiasche 1 erstreckende Seitenflanke des Hängers 9 anliegt.In Fig. 10, the hook 10 of the foremost hanger 9 through the recess 14 and the locking projection 15 in the left end of the passage opening 5 held the bundle bag. So that the bundle bag itself extends at right angles to this trailer 9 is at the bottom of the Main tab 1, a fin-like abutment body 17 is formed, which is in extending at right angles to the main tab 1 extending plane. The Length of the fin-like abutment body 17 should be at least 15 mm amount to be over a wide area against the right angle for Hauptiasche 1 extending side edge of the trailer 9 is applied.
