Description

La présente invention concerne un perfectionnement aux dispositifs contre le vol de vêtement sur cintre comprenant un organe antivol constitué d'une chaîne ou d'un câble relié audit cintre et apte à être enfilé à l'intérieur d'une partie tubulaire par exemple une manche d'un vêtement suspendu audit cintre. Ce dispositif trouvera de nombreuses applications notamment dans les surfaces de vente, les vestiaires de réception,... .The present invention relates to an improvement to devices against theft of garment hanger comprising an antitheft member consisting of a chain or cable connected to said hanger and adapted to be threaded inside a tubular portion for example a sleeve a garment suspended from the hanger. This device will find many applications including sales areas, reception lockers, ....

On connaît bien des dispositifs antivol pour protéger les vêtements vendus dans des magasins comprenant des moyens de projection d'une encre tachant irrémédiablement le vêtement en cas de retrait frauduleux dudit dispositif par un voleur, ce dispositif étant normalement retiré par des moyens appropriés lors du passage en caisse dans le magasin et après règlement de l'article.Anti-theft devices are well-known for protecting clothing sold in stores comprising means for projecting an ink irremediably staining the garment in the event of fraudulent withdrawal of said device by a thief, this device being normally removed by appropriate means during the passage in cash in the store and after payment of the article.

Ce type de dispositif ne présente pas une garantie contre le vol suffisante dès lors que le voleur peut sortir du magasin avec le vêtement volé muni de son dispositif antivol qu'il retire ultérieurement en évitant soigneusement les projections d'encre. De fait, on a constaté que ce type dispositif n'était pas suffisamment dissuasif contre le vol des vêtements de valeur tel que, par exemple, des blousons en cuir.This type of device does not have a guarantee against theft sufficient since the thief can leave the store with the stolen garment with its antitheft device it later removed carefully avoiding ink projections. In fact, it has been found that this type of device is not sufficiently dissuasive against the theft of valuable clothing such as, for example, leather jackets.

Afin de pallier ces inconvénients, on a déjà imaginé des dispositifs antivol solidaires du cintre portant les vêtements ; c'est le cas, par exemple, du brevet français FR 2.604.614 décrivant un cintre antivol pour vêtement. Le cintre antivol comprend un câble s'étendant depuis la partie centrale jusqu'à l'extrémité de la branche gauche dudit cintre, le câble étant engagé à coulissement dans la branche gauche. Une première partie extrême et une seconde partie extrême inférieure du câble pendent ainsi respectivement de l'extrémité de la branche gauche et de la partie centrale du cintre. Cette partie extrême est solidaire, à son extrémité libre, d'un organe mâle, d'un dispositif de verrouillage de sécurité tel qu'une serrure à clé ou à numéros, tandis que la partie extrême inférieure est solidaire de l'autre élément femelle du dispositif de verrouillage de sécurité, de sorte que lorsque les éléments mâle ou femelle du dispositif de verrouillage de sécurité sont engagés l'un dans l'autre, la chaîne forme une boucle fermée interdisant ainsi l'extraction du vêtement de son cintre.In order to overcome these disadvantages, it has already been devised anti-theft devices integral with the clothes hanger; this is the case, for example, of the French patent FR 2,604,614 describing an anti-theft hanger for clothing. The antitheft hanger comprises a cable extending from the central portion to the end of the left branch of said hanger, the cable being slidably engaged in the left branch. A first end portion and a second lower end portion of the cable thus hang respectively from the end of the left branch and the central portion of the hanger. This end portion is secured, at its free end, a male member, a security locking device such as a key lock or numbers, while the lower end portion is secured to the other female element of the safety locking device, so that when the male or female elements of the safety locking device are engaged with each other, the chain forms a closed loop thus preventing the extraction of the garment from its hanger.

Ce cintre antivol présente l'inconvénient d'être d'un usage excessivement contraignant pour les vendeuses qui doivent ouvrir le dispositif de verrouillage de sécurité qui s'étend à l'intérieur du vêtement rendant ainsi les essayages particulièrement fastidieux pour les clients mais aussi pour les vendeurs. De plus, la protection contre le vol reste illusoire car il suffit au voleur de dérober le vêtement avec son cintre puis ultérieurement et à l'abri des regards de couper le câble par tout moyen approprié (tel qu'une pince "Monseigneur" par exemple). L'un des buts de l'invention est donc de remédier à tous ces inconvénients en proposant un système antivol comprenant notamment un organe antivol, de conception simple, n'entravant pas l'essayage du vêtement par un client mais empêchant le vol du vêtement sur son cintre.This anti-theft hanger has the disadvantage of being of an excessively restrictive use for the salesgirls who must open the security locking device which extends inside the garment thus making the fitting particularly tedious for the customers but also for sellers. In addition, the protection against theft remains illusory because it is sufficient for the thief to steal the garment with its hanger and later and out of sight to cut the cable by any appropriate means (such as a clip "Monseigneur" for example ). One of the aims of the invention is therefore to remedy all these drawbacks by proposing an anti-theft system comprising in particular a burglar-proof device, of simple design, which does not interfere with the fitting of the garment by a client but prevents the theft of the garment. on his hanger.

A cet égard, et conformément à l'invention, il est proposé un système antivol comprenant un cintre constitué d'un crochet solidaire d'un corps central d'où s'étendent horizontalement ou légèrement vers le bas deux bras symétriquement depuis le corps central lorsque le cintre est suspendu par son crochet à un support afin de soutenir un vêtement tel qu'une veste, un pantalon ou similaire, ledit système comprenant un organe antivol constitué d'une chaîne ou d'un câble en matériau résistant relié audit cintre et apte à être enfilé à l'intérieur d'une pièce tubulaire du vêtement, telle que la manche d'une veste ou la jambe d'un pantalon ; ce cintre antivol est remarquable en ce qu'il comprend un organe antivol constitué, d'une part, d'une chaîne ou d'un premier câble muni à ses extrémités libres d'un anneau ou d'une boucle et respectivement un moyen de fermeture mâle ou femelle coopérant avec un moyen correspondant de fermeture femelle ou mâle solidaire du cintre, et d'autre part, d'un second câble apte à être introduit dans les anneaux ou les boucles des cintres contigus et muni à ses extrémités libres de butées d'arrêt empêchant le retrait des anneaux ou des boucles du second cable, dont une au moins est munie d'un moyen sécurisé de fermeture mâle ou femelle coopérant avec un moyen correspondant de fermeture femelle ou mâle solidaire de l'extrémité libre du second câble.In this regard, and according to the invention, there is provided an antitheft system comprising a hanger consisting of a hook integral with a central body from which extend horizontally or slightly downward two arms symmetrically from the central body when the hanger is suspended by its hook to a support in order to support a garment such as a jacket, trousers or the like, said system comprising an anti-theft member consisting of a chain or cable of resistant material connected to said hanger and adapted to be threaded inside a tubular piece of clothing, such as the sleeve of a jacket or the leg of a pair of trousers; this antitheft hanger is remarkable in that it comprises an anti-theft device consisting, on the one hand, of a chain or a first cable provided at its free ends with a ring or a loop and respectively a means of male or female closure cooperating with a corresponding means of female or male closure secured to the hanger, and other on the other hand, a second cable capable of being introduced into the rings or loops of the contiguous hangers and provided at its free ends with stoppers preventing the withdrawal of the rings or loops of the second cable, at least one of which is provided with secure male or female closure means cooperating with a corresponding female or male closure means integral with the free end of the second cable.

On comprend bien que le moyen sécurisé de fermeture, par exemple une serrure à clé, étant solidaire du cintre, le vêtement peut être aisément libéré de l'organe antivol constitué du câble afin qu'un client puisse l'essayer et que, à l'inverse lorsque le câble solidaire du cintre est relié à son extrémité inférieure au deuxième câble sur lequel sont enfilés les anneaux des cintres voisins, personne ne peut alors se saisir d'un vêtement sans devoir emporter l'ensemble des vêtements disposés côte à côte sur les cintres accrochés à la barre de suspension d'un rayon.It is well understood that the secure closure means, for example a key lock, being secured to the hanger, the garment can be easily released from the anti-theft device consisting of the cable so that a customer can try it and that, when the cable secured to the hanger is connected at its lower end to the second cable on which are threaded the rings of the neighboring hangers, no one can then grab a garment without having to take all the clothes arranged side by side on the hangers hooked to the suspension bar of a spoke.

D'autres avantages et caractéristiques ressortiront mieux de la description qui va suivre de plusieurs variantes d'exécution données à titre d'exemples non limitatifs, du cintre antivol conforme à l'invention en référence au dessin annexé sur lequel :

on décrira, en référence aux figures, un dispositif contre le vol de vêtement sur cintre particulièrement adapté pour la présentation de vestes, manteaux ou analogues.with reference to the figures, a device against the theft of clothes on clothes hanger will be described particularly suitable for the presentation of jackets, coats or the like.

A cet égard, en référence aux figures 1 et 2, le cintre 1 est constitué d'un crochet 2 solidaire d'un corps central 3 d'où s'étendent deux bras 4a et 4b. Lesdits bras 4a, 4b s'étendent symétriquement depuis le corps central 3 et sont légèrement inclinés vers le bas lorsque le cintre 1 est suspendu par son crochet 2 à une barre de suspension 5 d'un rayonnage 6. Ledit rayonnage 6 est classiquement constitué de deux montants 7a et 7b respectivement munis de pieds 8a et 8b et supportant par tout moyen connu la barre de suspension 5 sur laquelle sont accrochés contigument des vêtements V portés par des cintres 1. Accessoirement, le cintre comprend avantageusement une barre 9 solidaire des extrémités libres des bras 4a et 4b afin de suspendre un pantalon par exemple.In this regard, with reference to Figures 1 and 2, the hanger 1 comprises a bracket 2 secured to a central body 3 from which extend two arms 4a and 4b. Said arm 4 a, 4 b extend symmetrically from the central body 3 and are slightly inclined downwardly when the hanger 1 is suspended by its hook 2 in a hanger bar 5 of a rack 6. Said rack 6 is conventionally consisting of two uprights 7 a and 7 b respectively provided with feet 8a and 8b and supporting means by any known suspension bar 5 on which are hung contigument V clothes from hangers 1. Incidentally, the hanger preferably comprises a bar 9 integral with the free ends of the arms 4a and 4b for suspending pants for example.

En référence aux figures 1 à 3, le cintre 1 comprend un premier câble 10 muni à ses extrémités libres d'un anneau 11 et respectivement un moyen de fermeture mâle coopérant avec un moyen correspondant de fermeture femelle solidaire du cintre 1 comme il sera détaillé plus loin. Le premier câble 10 est apte à être enfilé à l'intérieur d'une pièce tubulaire d'un vêtement V telle que la manche d'une veste par exemple, de sorte que, l'extrémité du premier câble 10 comprenant le moyen de fermeture mâle étant solidarisé au cintre 1 par un moyen correspondant de fermeture femelle, l'anneau 11 solidaire de l'autre extrémité du premier câble 10 se trouve situé en dessous du bout de la manche du vêtement V à travers laquelle le premier câble 10 est enfilé, lorsqu'un vêtement V à manches est mis en place sur le cintre 1 (fig. 1).With reference to FIGS. 1 to 3, the hanger 1 comprises a first cable 10 provided at its free ends with a ring 11 and male closure means respectively cooperating with a corresponding means of female closure integral with the hanger 1 as will be detailed more far. The first cable 10 is adapted to be threaded inside a tubular part of a garment V such that the sleeve of a jacket for example, so that the end of the first cable 10 comprising the closing means male being secured to the hanger 1 by a corresponding means of female closure, the ring 11 integral with the other end of the first cable 10 is located below the end of the sleeve of the garment V through which the first cable 10 is threaded , when a sleeveless V garment is placed on the hanger 1 (Fig. 1).

Le premier câble 10 comprend, en référence à la figure 2, à son extrémité libre opposée à son extrémité munie de l'anneau 11 un moyen de fermeture mâle constitué d'une tête cylindrique 12 comprenant une gorge annulaire 13 concentrique. Ce moyen de fermeture mâle coopère avec un moyen de fermeture femelle solidaire de la partie centrale 3 du cintre 1 qui consiste dans un barillet 14 à clé 15 s'étendant avantageusement dans la partie centrale 3 du cintre 1 depuis l'une de ses faces frontales, ledit barillet 14 coopérant classiquement avec des moyens de blocage 16 (fig. 3) de la tête 12. Le corps central 3 du cintre 1 comprend, par ailleurs, un trou borgne 17 globalement cylindrique s'étendant globalement perpendiculairement au barillet 14 et débouchant sous la partie centrale 3 du cintre 1, en référence aux figures 3 et 4, ledit trou 17 étant apte à recevoir la tête 12 formant le moyen de fermeture mâle de l'une des extrémités du premier câble 10. La tête 12 munie de sa gorge annulaire concentrique 13 du premier câble 10 étant introduite dans le trou 17, les moyens de blocage 16 s'engagent dans ladite gorge annulaire 13 lorsque la clé 15 est actionnée dans le barillet 14 afin d'assurer la fixation sécurisée du premier câble 10 au cintre 1.The first cable 10 comprises, with reference to Figure 2, at its free end opposite its end provided with the ring 11 a male closure means consisting of a cylindrical head 12 comprising a concentric annular groove 13. This male closure means cooperates with a female closure means integral with the part central 3 hanger 1 which consists of a key cylinder 14 extending advantageously in the central portion 3 of the hanger 1 from one of its end faces, said cylinder 14 cooperating conventionally with locking means 16 (Figure 3 ) of the head 12. The central body 3 of the hanger 1 comprises, moreover, a globally cylindrical blind hole 17 extending generally perpendicularly to the barrel 14 and opening under the central part 3 of the hanger 1, with reference to FIGS. , said hole 17 being able to receive the head 12 forming the male closure means of one of the ends of the first cable 10. The head 12 provided with its concentric annular groove 13 of the first cable 10 being introduced into the hole 17, the locking means 16 engage in said annular groove 13 when the key 15 is actuated in the barrel 14 to ensure the secure attachment of the first cable 10 to the hanger 1.

Il va de soi que le premier câble 10 peut comprendre à son extrémité libre opposée à son extrémité munie d'un anneau 11 un moyen de fermeture femelle coopérant avec un moyen de fermeture mâle solidaire du cintre 1 et muni d'une clé 15 et que ledit anneau 11 peut consister dans une boucle sans pour autant sortir du cadre de l'invention.It goes without saying that the first cable 10 may comprise at its free end opposite its end provided with a ring 11 a female closure means cooperating with a male fastening means secured to the hanger 1 and provided with a key 15 and that said ring 11 may consist of a loop without departing from the scope of the invention.

Par ailleurs, les moyens antivol du cintre 1 sont constitués, en référence aux figures 1, 5 et 6, d'un second câble 18 apte à être introduit dans les anneaux 11 de cintres 1 contigus respectivement muni d'un premier câble 10 s'étendant à travers les manches des vêtements V qu'il porte de telle sorte que les anneaux 11 s'étendent en dessous du bout desdites manches, lesdits cintres 1 étant suspendus à la barre de suspension 5 du rayonnage 6 par exemple. Le second câble 18 est avantageusement muni à ses extrémités libres de butées d'arrêt 19a et 19b (fig. 1) qui présente une forme quelconque mais qui sont choisies de telle manière que leurs plus petites dimensions soient supérieures aux diamètres internes des anneaux 11 des premiers câbles 10 afin d'empêcher le retrait des anneaux 11 du câble 18. Les butées d'arrêt 19a,19b du second câble 18 peuvent être notamment constituées d'une barre de longueur supérieure ou égale au double du diamètre de l'anneau 11 du premier câble 10, le second câble 18 étant solidarisé dans la partie médiane des barres. Afin de permettre l'introduction du câble 18 à travers les anneaux 11 des cintres 1 suspendus à la barre de suspension 5 d'un rayonnage 6 lors de la mise en place des vêtements V dans ledit rayonnage 6, au moins une 19b des butées d'arrêt 19a, 19b est avantageusement munie d'un moyen sécurisé de fermeture femelle coopérant avec un moyen correspondant de fermeture mâle solidaire de l'extrémité libre du second câble 18 comme il sera détaillé plus loin. La butée d'arrêt 19b amovible peut avantageusement être constituée d'une barre cylindrique 20 munie d'un barillet 21 à clé 22 s'étendant coaxialement dans la barre 20 depuis l'une de ses extrémités libres et coopérant avec des moyens de blocage 23 positionnés à l'intérieur d'un trou borgne 24 globalement cylindrique qui s'étend perpendiculairelent à l'axe de la barre afin de bloquer une tête cylindrique 25 munie d'une gorge annulaire 26, ladite tête 25 étant solidaire de l'une des extrémités libres du second câble 18.Moreover, the anti-theft means of the hanger 1 are constituted, with reference to FIGS. 1, 5 and 6, of a second cable 18 adapted to be introduced into the rings 11 of contiguous hanger 1 respectively provided with a first cable 10 ' extending through the sleeves of the clothes V that it carries so that the rings 11 extend below the end of said sleeves, said hangers 1 being suspended from the suspension bar 5 of the rack 6 for example. The second cable 18 is advantageously provided at its free ends of stoppers 19 a and 19 b (Fig. 1) has any shape but are selected such that their smaller dimensions are greater than the inner diameters of rings 11 of the first cables 10 to prevent the withdrawal of the rings 11 of the cable 18. The stops 19 a , 19 b of the second cable 18 may consist in particular of a bar of length greater than or equal to twice the diameter of the ring 11 of the first cable 10, the second cable 18 being secured in the middle portion of the bars. In order to allow the introduction of the cable 18 through the rings 11 of the hangers 1 hanging from the suspension bar 5 of a rack 6 during the placement of the clothes V in said rack 6, at least one 19 b of the stops stop 19a, 19b is advantageously provided with a female closure secure means cooperating with a male integral closure means corresponding to the free end of the second cable 18 as will be detailed later. The stop 19 b releasable stop may advantageously be constituted by a cylindrical bar 20 provided with a cylinder 21 to key 22 extending coaxially in the bar 20 from one of its free ends and cooperating with locking means 23 positioned inside a globally cylindrical blind hole 24 which extends perpendicular to the axis of the bar in order to block a cylindrical head 25 provided with an annular groove 26, said head 25 being integral with one free ends of the second cable 18.

Selon une variante d'exécution du cintre antivol conforme à l'invention en référence à la figure 1, au moins l'une des butées 19a, 19b est constituée du montant 7b du rayonnage 6 muni d'un barillet 27 à clé 28 s'étendant horizontalement depuis l'une des faces du montant 7b et coopérant avec des moyens de blocage positionnés à l'intérieur d'un trou borgne 29 globalement cylindrique qui s'étend horizontalement et perpendiculairement au barillet 27 afin de bloquer la tête cylindrique 24 munie de la gorge annulaire 25 solidaire de l'extrémité libre du second câble 18 de manière à éviter le vol d'un unique vêtement V porté par un cintre 1 suspendu au rayonnage 6.According to the anti-theft hanger alternative embodiment according to the invention with reference to FIG 1, at least one of the stops 19a, 19b is made of the amount 7b of the rack 6 having a barrel 27 with key 28 extending horizontally from one of the faces of the upright 7b and cooperating with locking means positioned inside a globally cylindrical blind hole 29 which extends horizontally and perpendicularly to the barrel 27 to block the head cylindrical 24 provided with the annular groove 25 integral with the free end of the second cable 18 so as to prevent theft of a single garment V carried by a hanger 1 suspended from the rack 6.

Par ailleurs, les premier et second câbles 10 et 18 consistent de préférence dans des câbles formés de fils métalliques résistants à de fortes tensions et munis de gaines en matière plastique.Furthermore, the first and second cables 10 and 18 preferably consist of cables formed of metal wires resistant to high voltages and provided with plastic sheaths.

On expliquera maintenant le fonctionnement du dispositif antivol pour cintre conforme à l'invention, en référence aux figures 1, 3 et 5.We will now explain the operation of the hanger antitheft device according to the invention, with reference to Figures 1, 3 and 5.

Des vêtements V portés par des cintres 1 étant suspendus à la barre de suspension 5 du rayonnage 6, les premiers câbles 10 sont enfilés dans les pièces tubulaires des vêtements V de telle sorte que les anneaux 11 desdits premiers câbles 10 s'étendent sous les bouts desdites pièces tubulaires et que les extrémités des premiers câbles 10 opposés à leurs extrémités munies d'anneaux 11 soient solidarisées au cintre 1 comme nous l'avons décrit précédemment. La butée d'arrêt 19b amovible étant retirée, on enfile le second câble 18 dans les anneaux 11 qui pendent sous les pièces tubulaires des vêtements V du rayonnage 6 puis ladite butée d'arrêt 19b est solidarisée à l'extrémité libre du second câble 18. Ainsi, il est alors impossible de se saisir d'un vêtement V sans devoir emporter l'ensemble des vêtements V disposés côte à côte sur les cintres 1 accrochés à la barre de suspension 5 du rayonnage 6.V garments carried by hangers 1 being suspended from the suspension bar 5 of the rack 6, the first cables 10 are threaded into the tubular parts of clothing V so that the rings 11 of said first cables 10 extend under the ends said tubular pieces and that the ends of the first cables 10 opposite their ends provided with rings 11 are secured to the hanger 1 as described above. The stopper 19 removably b being withdrawn, is threaded the second wire 18 in the rings 11 that hang beneath the tubular parts of the V clothes rack 6 and said stopper 19 b is secured to the free end of second 18. Thus, it is impossible to grab a garment V without having to take all the clothing V arranged side by side on the hangers 1 attached to the suspension bar 5 of the rack 6.

Afin de permettre l'essayage du vêtement V par un client, la vendeuse s'occupant du rayon retire le premier câble 10 s'étendant dans la pièce tubulaire dudit vêtement V en ouvrant au moyen de sa clé 15 le barillet 14 qui libère la tête cylindrique 12 du premier câble 10. Après essayage, le vêtement V porté par le cintre 1 est replacé dans le rayonnage 6 et le premier câble 10 est réenfilé dans la pièce tubulaire du vêtement V et ressolidarisé audit cintre 1.In order to allow the fitting of the garment V by a customer, the saleswoman taking care of the spoke withdraws the first cable 10 extending into the tubular piece of said garment V by opening by means of its key 15 the barrel 14 which releases the head cylindrical 12 of the first cable 10. After fitting, the garment V worn by the hanger 1 is placed back in the rack 6 and the first cable 10 is re-threaded into the tubular part of the garment V and resealed to said hanger 1.

On notera, par ailleurs, que les vêtements V d'un rayonnage 6 peuvent être aisément déplacés vers un autre rayonnage sans avoir à manipuler les premier et second câbles 10,18 du cintre antivol.It will be noted, moreover, that the clothes V of a rack 6 can be easily moved to another rack without having to handle the first and second cables 10, 18 of the anti-theft hanger.

Lorsqu'il ne reste plus qu'un ou deux vêtements dans le rayonnage 6, lors de période de soldes par exemple, la butée d'arrêt 19b amovible est alors retirée et la tête cylindrique 25 du second câble 18 est alors solidarisé au montant 7b du rayonnage 6 en introduisant ladite tête cylindrique 25 dans le trou borgne 29 muni de moyens de blocage.When only one or two garments in the rack 6, when sales period for example, the stopper 19 b removable abutment is then removed and the cylindrical head 25 of the second cable 18 is then secured to the amount 7b of the rack 6 by introducing said head cylindrical 25 in the blind hole 29 provided with locking means.

Il va de soi que, les moyens de blocage 16 et 23 respectivement des barillets 14 et 21 positionnés dans le corps central 3 du cintre 1 et dans la butée d'arrêt 19b peuvent être avantageusement montés avec des moyens de rappel permettant de bloquer la tête cylindrique 12 et 25 dans les trous borgnes 17 et 24 sans aucune manipulation des clés respectivement 15 et 22, ces dernières n'étant actionnées que pour le déblocage desdites têtes cylindriques 12 et 25.It goes without saying that the locking means 16 and 23 respectively barrels 14 and 21 positioned in the central body 3 of the hanger 1 and in the stop 19 b can be advantageously mounted with biasing means to block the cylindrical head 12 and 25 in the blind holes 17 and 24 without any manipulation of the keys respectively 15 and 22, the latter being actuated only for the unblocking of said cylindrical heads 12 and 25.

Enfin, il est bien évident que les clés 15 et 22 peuvent consister dans une seule et unique clé apte à actionner les barillets 14 et 21 respectivement du cintre 1 et de la butée d'arrêt 19b.Finally, it is obvious that the keys 15 and 22 may consist of a single key capable of actuating the barrels 14 and 21 respectively of the hanger 1 and the stop 19 b .
