FR2719985A1 - Hook to suspend tool by its handle - Google Patents

Abstract

The hook is a sheet with two hexagonal holes (7) through which the handle of a tool is threaded, after the plate has been curved. The handle is held in place by projections (12) with non-slip studs in the holes. The sheet is moulded in plastics and has flaps (6) at each end to bend it. A rubber piece is inserted through a central hole (8) to hold the handle. A guide (9) allows the hook to be fixed to a rail, and has holes (10) for fixing to a support. Four tighteners (11) keep the sheet in place.

Description

UTILITY HOOK FOR GARDEN TOOLS,
OF DIY AND NIENAGERS UTENSILS.

FOR CARRYING OBJECTS WITH HANDLE,
SUCH AS SHOVEL, PICKAXE, HAMMER, BROOM ETC.

The present invention relates to a hook for hanging a tool with handle.

There are multiple patents relating to hanging devices, in particular hooks for hanging towels in kitchens or tools on grids or on perforated material.

All these devices do not allow to hang heavy objects and are generally suitable for hanging small objects or light objects.

Traditionally it is very difficult to store tools with handle, such as shovel, pickaxe, or broom. They are generally placed in a shed, in bulk, or there is a risk, for children, of being injured by the possible fall of these unsupported tools.

The device according to the invention overcomes these drawbacks. According to a first characteristic, it in fact comprises a plastic part having two orifices into which a wooden, plastic or metal handle is introduced.

The plastic part must be folded so that the handle of the tool can be inserted. This plastic piece takes up its memory and wedges the handle in the two holes.

A flexible, grooved rubber piece prevents the handle from slipping and keeps it strongly gripped.

Complementary devices such as fixing guides at the rear of the part, allow these to be adaptable on a rail.

Two holes provided in the room allow it to be fixed directly to the wall.

Folding flaps are also provided at the ends to facilitate handling of the hook so that it can be folded.

This hook device, which can be placed side by side by wall or rail mounting, allows tools to be stored on a wall and, therefore, a significant saving in space prevents accidents and eliminates all dangers for children.

The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention: - Figure I represents an assembled front view - Figure 2 represents a rear view of the support alone - Figure 3 represents an exploded part - assembled part - Figure 4 represents a side view with handle tool
With reference to these drawings, the device comprises
According to a variant not illustrated, the orifice can be round, square or of geometric shape.

The part may or may not include slide systems which can be adapted on a rail.

The part may include an attached rubber element serving as a brake so that the handle does not slip to a location other than that initially planned.

The part can be of larger or smaller dimensions.

The device according to the invention is 15 cm long by 7 cm wide.

The invention being set out in its general form, the detailed description with reference to the accompanying drawings (plates 1-2-3-4) will make it possible to identify its characteristics, its aims and its advantages.

In these drawings, an integral part of the description
Figure l shows the assembled front view mounted on its fixing rail (plate 1).

Figure 2 shows the element according to the invention in career view, support only. (plate 2).

FIG. 3 represents the element according to the invention in exploded part section, in assembled part section (plate 3).

FIG. 4 represents the element according to the invention viewed from the side with a tool handle explaining the use of the invention (plate 4).

The element according to the invention comprises
A plastic piece about 15 cm high by 7 cm wide with 2 hexagonal holes (7). These holes will be used to introduce a handle.

In these hexagonal holes you will find nipples with non-slip tips to keep the tool hooked (12).

To complete the attachment of the tool, it is necessary to introduce into the orifice 8 a rubber part.

To introduce the tool into the invention, it is necessary to bend the part. To facilitate this operation, folding ear cups (6) have been provided.

The invention can be introduced into a fixing rail. A fixing guide (9) has therefore been provided for this purpose.

If you do not want to fix the invention on a rail, you must be able to screw it on a support. Fixing holes for the support alone (1 O) have therefore been provided for this purpose.

In order to consolidate the part and to give it a memory allowing the folding back, it was designed 4 stiffeners (11).

The invention is normally fixed on a rail (4).

To maintain the handle in the invention, a flexible rubber pad (2) is provided which blocks the handle of the device.

To keep this patch in its housing, a blocking part (3) is provided.

The invention itself is made of injected plastic (1) and is used to hold a handle (5).

The main objectives of this invention are - To house in this element a metal, wooden or plastic handle.

- Keep a tool in the hook and be able to extract it easily at all times.

- Offer a storage system for bulky items.

- To be able to store a much larger number of objects.

- Offer significant space savings.

- Being able to adapt practically any object with handle.

- Offer practical and aesthetic storage.

- Being able to juxtapose a large number of hooks and adapt them in a number of forms
multiple.

Claims (10)

1) Hanging device for hanging a tool or utensil with handle characterized in that it comprises a part having 2 hexagonal orifices for inserting the handle after folding of the part so that the handle is stuck in the 2 orifices by bending return. 2) Device according to claim 1 characterized in that the hook allows the attachment of a tool of a certain weight, the rubber insert (2) and the pins injected into the hexagonal holes (12) allowing the handle not to slip. 3) The device according to claim 1, characterized in that the plastic molded part must be folded and therefore has folding ears (6). 4) The device according to claim 3, characterized by 2 fixing guides (10). 5) The device according to claim 3 comprises 4 stiffeners (11) allowing better bending back, consolidation of the part and better bending back memory. 6) The device according to any one of the preceding claims is characterized in that these fixing guides will be introduced into a rail (4). 7) The device according to any one of the preceding claims can be fixed directly to a support. Two fixing holes (10) have been provided for this purpose on the support (9). 8) The device according to any one of the preceding claims is characterized by a rubber part (2) which will keep the tool firmly gripped. 9) The device according to any one of the preceding claims comprises an orifice in the initial part (8). This hole will allow to introduce the rubber part (2). 10) The device according to any one of the preceding claims is characterized by a blocking piece (3) which will hold the rubber pad (2) in its housing. This blocking piece has a characteristic shape which prevents the rubber pad from being ejected from its housing. It is held by the rail or by the support.
