DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hanger used for hanging clothes, and more particularly to a folding hanger capable of folding an arm.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As is well known, a hanger has a structure in which a hook is provided at a central portion, and a pair of arms extend to both sides from the central portion while being slightly inclined downward. Here, the pair of arms usually cannot be folded downward in an integrated manner.

A conventional hanger, in which the arm cannot be folded downward, has a problem that it is bulky at the time of storage or transportation, and it is difficult to put on clothes that have a small neckline like a round neck shirt and do not open forward when used. .

As a solution to this problem, there is a folding hanger disclosed in Japanese Patent Application No. 2-283002.
The foldable hanger extends symmetrically from both sides of the frame having hooks at the upper end and from both sides of the frame, and tilts downward with each base end as a fulcrum.
Each base end has a pair of arms pivotally supported by the frame. Gears are provided so as to mesh with each other around the base fulcrum of each arm so that the pair of arms tilt in conjunction with each other. A pair of inverted L-shaped notches that form recesses that are opened downward when opened in a downward direction, and have, at the lower end, a convex portion that fits into the recess formed by each notch from below. An operation lever having an upper end protruding upward from the frame is disposed at a central portion in the frame so as to be vertically movable. The operation lever has an upward biasing force, and the pair of arms have a downward tilt. A coil spring is stretched between the base ends of the pair of arms via the lower end of the operation lever so as to be protruded downward so that power is applied to each of the arms.

[0005]

Problems to be Solved by the Invention
The folding hanger according to No. 83002 is capable of folding the arm, so that it is not bulky at the time of storage or transportation, and is suitable for hanging clothes with a small neckline such as a round neck shirt.

[0006] However, this folding hanger requires a gear portion to be formed on the arm and a spring to be stretched between the pair of arms, which is complicated as a whole, increases the number of manufacturing steps, and increases the cost. There was a problem of becoming.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and is not bulky at the time of storage or transportation, is suitable for hanging clothes with a small neckline such as a round neck shirt, and has a simple configuration and is inexpensive. It is intended to provide a simple folding hanger.

The foldable hanger according to the present embodiment has a pair of arms 100A and 100B which enter the shoulders of clothes.
A base member 200 for connecting the arms 100A and 100B symmetrically with hinge portions 211A and 211B, an operating rod 300 slidably penetrated by the base member 200, and an inner side of the arms 100A and 100B. A pair of opening / closing arms 400A, 400B connected to each other by hinges 111A, 111B;
Lock mechanism 500 that locks when pushed into 00
At the rear end of the operating rod 300, the open / close arms 400A and 400B are
A, 332B.

The pair of arms 100A and 100B are formed in a substantially round shape so that the distal ends correspond to the shape of the shoulder of the garment. The arms 100A and 100B are set to match the shoulder length of general clothes.

Connecting portions 110A and 110B are provided substantially inside the central portions of the pair of arms 100A and 100B. The connecting portions 110A and 110B include a pair of opening / closing arms 400A and 400B, which will be described later, having hinge portions 111A and 1B.
It is a part connected by 11B.

The pair of arms 100A, 100B
Base end connected symmetrically with hinges 211A and 211B
The member 200 is horizontally long enough to be gripped by hand.
It is formed in a substantially rectangular shape. Also, the base member 200
The connecting parts 210A and 210B are formed on the left and right sides of the lower end of the
Has been established. The connecting portions 210A and 210B are
A pair of arms 100A is formed by hinge portions 211A and 211B,
This is the part that connects 100B.

The arms 100A, 10B connected to the connecting parts 210A, 210B by the hinge parts 211A, 211B.
OB is bent around hinge portions 211A and 211B.

In addition, cuts 220 and 230 each having a substantially T-shape are formed at the center of the rear side of the upper side and the rear side of the lower side of the base end member 200. This cut 22
Reference numerals 0 and 230 are portions into which an operation rod 300 described later fits. At the upper end of the cut 220 on the back side of the upper side, FIG.
As shown in the figure, opposed ribs 221 are provided. The protruding vein 221 is for fitting the operating rod 300 into the cut 220. Therefore, this pair of ridges 22
As shown in FIG. 5, the dimension between 1 is set slightly smaller than the width dimension of the operating rod 300.

The notch 230 on the back side of the lower side of the base member 200 is provided with a pressing portion 510 of a lock mechanism 500 described later.
Is formed in the vicinity.

The base member 200 has a locking machine.
A structure 500 is provided. This locking mechanism 500
The central portion of the lower side of the base member 200, that is, the cut 23
0, the pair of connecting portions 210A, 210
B is provided in the middle. Such a lock mechanism 500
Pushes the operating rod 300 described later into the base end member 200.
It locks in the locked state.

As shown in FIG. 4 and the like, the lock mechanism 500 includes a pressing portion 510 provided on the lower surface of the base member 200 and a lock wall 520 provided on the lower surface of the lower surface. It is configured.

The pressing portion 510 makes it easy to perform a pressing operation.
The surface side is slightly raised as shown in FIG.
0 protrudes from the surface. In addition, the push

You.

In the longitudinal direction of the operating rod 300,
As shown in FIG. 3 and the like, a rib 320 is formed and has a substantially T-shaped cross section. The distal end of the operating rod 300 is formed as a hook portion 310 having a substantially C shape. The hook portion 310 includes an upper curved portion 311 for hanging the foldable hanger on a hanger or the like, and a lower curved portion 312 facing the upper curved portion 311. The lower curved portion 312 is provided with the operating rod 30.
This is the part where the thumb is applied when pushing 0.

When the operating rod 300 is pushed into the base member 200, a locking projection 340 is formed at a position beyond the lock wall 520 (see FIG. 4).
That is, this locking projection 340 is locked to the locking wall
The operating rod 300 is locked by overcoming the above.

When the pressing portion 510 is pressed, the projection 511 presses the rib 320 of the operating rod 300, and the locking projection 340 is pushed down to release the lock by the lock wall portion 520.

On the other hand, a connecting member 330 is provided at the rear end of the operating rod 300. The operating rod 300 is connected to a lower end of the connecting member 330 via a hinge portion 331.
It is fitted into 230.

The connecting member 330 has a pair of opening / closing arms 400A by hinges 332A and 332B.
400B are symmetrically connected.

When the foldable hanger constructed as described above is extended, as shown by a broken line in FIG. 3, the hangable hanger is hung on the lower curved portion 312 of the hook portion 310 with the thumb and the other four fingers are used as the base end. The member 200 is gripped, and the operating rod 300 is pushed down by the thumb. Then, the connecting member 330 moves downward, and the opening / closing arms 400A, 400B
Is expanded, and the pair of arms 100A and 100B is expanded.

At the same time, the locking projection 340 of the operating rod 300 gets over the lock wall 520 and
Locked when pushed to zero. by this,
The folding hanger is ready for hanging clothes as shown in FIG.

When closing the folding hanger, the pressing portion 510 of the lock mechanism 500 is pressed. Then, the projections 511 press the ribs 320 of the operating rod 300, and the locking projections 340 are pushed down, so that the locking wall 5 is pressed.
The lock by the hinge 20 is released.
A, 111B, 211A, 211B, 332A, 332
The operating rod 300 is returned upward by the restoring force of B, and at the same time, the arms 100A and 100B are closed.
