Connection device for items of clothing and the like. Patented in the German Empire on May 5, 1921.

The invention relates to a connection device For connecting items of clothing and the like, consisting of a chain provided with a lock and connector. Connectable are cloakroom items, suitcases, etc.

on existing hangers, coat hooks, etc.

Compared to similar locks, the present one has the innovation that the fastening chain loop simply there-

S62847

is formed by that the connection body before being inserted into the lock by a Link of the chain is guided.

The drawing illustrates the connection device, for example, in a Embodiment.

The Fig. Ι represents the connecting device in a front view,

Fig. 2 is a rear view; ίο Fig. 3 shows the inside of the lock according to Fig. r, Fig. 4 shows the inside of the lock according to Fig. 2, Fig. S shows the inside of the lock according to Fig. 2 spring raised by means of a key, which releases the connecting body in this position; Fig. 6 illustrates the loop formation;

Fig. 7 shows, for example, the application for coat hooks;

Fig. 8 shows a side view of a spring for locking the connector body. The locking device consists of the lock housing α with the openings b for inserting the connecting body, c for receiving the thinned part h and for guiding the connecting body, d for inserting the key; inside from the parts used to lock the connecting body, here for example a simple round steel spring e, which has the arrangement according to Fig. 3, 4 in the lock housing, and from the chain f with the connecting body g. The spring e is shown in Fig. 8 shown in a side view, one end of the spring running into an angle / which rests against the lock wall k in order to prevent the spring from retreating when the connector body is inserted. The chain / is firmly connected on the one hand to the lock body α and on the other hand to the connecting body g. The latter has a recess i. The links of the chain are chosen so that the connecting body g can be loosely passed through any link of the chain, as shown in Fig. 6. The key opening d is expediently opposite to the opening h in order to enable convenient unlocking. Various other embodiments are possible. The essence of the innovation, however, is that the connection body g is guided through a link of the chain before it is inserted into the lock to form the loop required in each case.

The use of the connection device is easy to see on the basis of the drawing. For example (according to Fig. 7) a coat should be attached to a cloakroom hook with a button. For this purpose, the connecting body g with chain f is pulled through one or two buttonholes ν , the end of the chain is placed around the cloakroom hook i * and the connecting body g is inserted into the lock body α after the relevant link of the chain has passed through, so that the Coat cannot be taken away. When the connector body g is pushed into the opening b , the spring e rises and, when the connector body is properly inserted, jumps into the recess i , thereby locking the lock. Opening the lock is just as quick and easy as locking. The key is inserted with the left hand holding the lock, slightly turned to the right, whereby the spring e is lifted out of the recess i and the connector body is free. A little pull on the lock is then sufficient and the connection device is loosened in your hand. A spring t arranged in the lock housing α can act on the connection body g in the sense of automatically stepping out.

In the case of the present connection device, in addition to the unlimited usability the advantage of the tasteful, delicate execution to be emphasized at low prices Manufacturing price.
