Abstract

The invention relates to a clamping device for long trousers, particularly in suitcases, with which rapid and secure clamping of long trousers and their crease-free transport are ensured. The clamping device comprises a hinged base plate with an elbow having a buffer and with two vertical spaced-apart hangers which are movable with the elbows relative to the buffer in guide bearings secured on the base plate. Further, a pressure block is provided with a flexible buffer disposed opposite the buffer, the flexible buffer being movable with locking mechanisms on rails toward the elbow of the base plate. A guide frame disposed between the hangers may be swung from a position in the plane of the base plate into a position vertical to the latter and receives a tension bracket which is movable toward the base plate in order to clamp the length of a pair of trousers placed between the hangers and whose waistband and legs are clamped fast between the buffers.
