Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a suspension mechanism and a suspension container provided with the mechanism.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As a suspended container, for example, a hook is erected from the upper surface of a container main body containing an insect repellent, a deodorant and the like, and the hook is used by being engaged with a rod at a suspension place for the hook. There is something.
[0003]
The conventional hooks in this type of container have an arc shape with an opening at one end of the ring, so the hooks often come off and fall due to external force in a specific direction, especially for clothes dance etc. In the case of an insect repellent container, it is easy to receive external force from all directions by the stored clothes and hangers, and the tendency is strong.
[0004]
Further, in consideration of such points, the hook can be elastically deformed, and when the hook is fitted to the rod for hanging the hook, the rod entrance / exit of the hook is elastically expanded to facilitate the fitting. On the other hand, it has been proposed that the hooks are made difficult to come off by narrowing the rod entrance and exit by elastic restoration (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-130081).
[0005]
The hook has a c-shape when viewed from the front, and the narrower the opening width of the entrance / exit, the more the rod once fitted can be prevented from being undesirably removed due to external force. There is a limit to making the opening width of the entrance / exit narrow so that the rod is difficult to pass due to the limit of elastic deformation.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and even if the opening width of the entrance / exit is the same, it is possible to better prevent an undesired drop due to an external force or the like after the suspension, and to easily attach / detach the suspension mechanism and A hanging container having the mechanism is proposed. In addition, the opening width of the entrance / exit can be made as narrow as possible to prevent inconvenient dropping due to external force, and even when it is suspended, it can be easily expanded even with a narrow opening width, and can be easily mounted. The present invention proposes a suspension mechanism that can be easily performed by taking a predetermined procedure even when it is detached, and a suspension container equipped with the mechanism.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0012]
As shown in FIG. 1, the suspension mechanism 1 of the present invention erects a hook 3 from the upper surface of a suspended body 2.
[0013]
The hook 3 has a saddle shape with an opening on one side, and is connected to one end by a free end a and a pair of outer elastic strips 5 having a clearance 4 as a clearance between them and an inner elastic band. What is comprised by the strip 6 and was formed in circular arc shape is used preferably.
[0014]
The inner elastic strip 6 has its distal end 6E ascending and extending in a circular arc shape below the free end a with the distal end 6E being separated, and the distal end b is connected to the upper surface of the suspended body 2. Further, the opening width d of the doorway 8 formed between the free end a and the terminal top c and through which the rod 7 for hanging the suspended body is taken in and out is formed smaller than the diameter of the rod 7.
[0015]
FIG. 2 shows an example in which the present suspension mechanism 1 is suspended from a cylindrical rod 7. As shown in FIG. 2 (a), when the inlet / outlet 8 is brought into contact with the rod 7 and the hook 3 is pushed in, the upper portion of each elastic band plate is elastically deformed and expanded, and the inlet / outlet 8 is expanded. As shown in FIG. 2 (b), the rod 7 can enter inward from the entrance 8. At this time, since the opening width d of the entrance / exit 8 is smaller than the diameter of the rod 7, the rod 7 presses the free end a and a force is applied to both the outer elastic strip 5 and the inner elastic strip 6, and as a result, both Expands easily due to elastic deformation.
[0016]
Next, when the hook 3 is further pushed in, the rod 7 is engaged in the hook 3 as shown in FIG. 2 (c). At that time, each elastic band plate is elastically restored to its original state, and the doorway 8 is opened. Return to the original narrow opening width. In such a suspended state, even when an external force is applied, the entrance / exit 8 is narrow, and the inner elastic band plate 6 serves as a cushioning material, and the elastic deformation of the outer elastic band plate 5 is reduced. It becomes difficult to come off.
[0017]
At the time of removal, the hook 3 is pushed in the opposite direction to the doorway 8 from this state to widen the opening width of the doorway 8 and then the hook 3 is pushed further, so that the hook 3 can be easily removed. At this time, the rod 7 abuts against the free end a and elastically deforms both elastic strips, so that the entrance 8 is easily expanded. Further, when the hook 3 is pushed in, the suspended body 2 may be used.
[0018]
FIG. 3 shows another embodiment, in which the end 6E of the inner elastic strip 6 is maximized below the hook free end a and the end b is on the upper surface of the suspended body 2 on the side of the free end a. They are connected to form a mountain shape that can be elastically deformed in a side view. Also in this case, the opening width d of the entrance / exit 8 is formed smaller than the diameter of the rod 7.
[0019]
Various chevron shapes of the end portion 6E of the inner elastic strip 6 can be adopted as long as the above requirements are satisfied. In the embodiment shown in FIG. Are formed in an arc shape and the end portion c to the end b are inclined to form a mountain shape at the end portion, and when the inclined portion is pressed by the rod when fitted to the rod 7, The portion can be reliably elastically deformed so as to widen the opening width of the entrance / exit 8, and is configured so that it can be easily attached to the rod. Moreover, since the peak portion is provided at a relatively acute angle, even if the rod 7 once fitted presses the arc-shaped portion toward the side, the mountain-shaped portion is not easily crushed in shape, and the doorway 8 is formed without permission. It is configured not to spread.
[0020]
An example in which the suspension mechanism 1 of the present embodiment is suspended from the cylindrical rod 7 will be described. When the entrance 8 is brought into contact with the rod 7 and the hook 3 is pushed in, the two-dot chain line in FIG. As shown in the figure, the rod 7 is elastically deformed so as to push down the inclined portion of the end portion 6E of the inner elastic band plate 6, and the upper elastic band plates are elastically deformed to widen the entrance / exit 8 so that the inner elastic band plate 6 is The rod 7 is pushed in the direction of the gap 4 as the outward clearance, and the rod 7 can enter inward from the entrance 8.
[0021]
Next, by further pushing the hook 3, the rod 7 is engaged in the hook 3, and at that time, each elastic band plate is elastically restored to its original state and the entrance / exit 8 is returned to the original narrow opening width. In such a suspended state, even when an external force is applied, the entrance / exit 8 is similarly narrow, and the inner elastic strip 6 serves as a cushioning material, and the elastic deformation of the outer elastic strip 5 is reduced. It becomes extremely difficult to come off.
[0022]
At the time of removal, the inclined portion of the inner elastic strip 6 is pushed down with a finger from this state to widen the opening width of the entrance / exit 8 and then the hook 3 is pushed in the direction opposite to the entrance / exit 8 so that it can be easily removed. . In this case as well, when the hook 3 is pushed in, the suspended body 2 may be used.
[0023]
The suspended body 2 can be used in various forms, and can correspond to a case-like or plate-like thing as shown in the drawing, or any other suspended object. Various materials such as synthetic resin, metal, and wood can be used as the material. However, it is convenient in terms of molding if the elastic band plates are integrally formed with the synthetic resin.
[0024]
FIG. 1 shows an example of a hanging container A of the present invention, and the container A includes the above-described hanging mechanism 1 of the present invention. The suspended container A employs a case-shaped container body 9 into which a stored item can be inserted as the suspended body 2. Examples of stored items include, but are not limited to, insect repellents and deodorants.
[0025]
The container body 9 of the illustrated example has a flat hollow case shape as a whole, and has a front container body with a peripheral wall extending rearward from the peripheral edge portion of the horizontally long rectangular shape, and a front portion of the peripheral edge portion of the horizontally long rectangular shape. The rear container body with the peripheral wall extending is firmly fixed by fixing means with the end faces of the peripheral walls abutting each other. The fixing means employs fitting of protrusions and fitting cylinders provided at a plurality of locations on the inner peripheral edge of the front wall and a plurality of locations on the inner peripheral periphery of the rear wall, but is not limited thereto. Absent. A large number of window holes 10 are formed in the front and rear walls of the container body to volatilize the insect repellent.
[0026]
In addition, a hook 3 having a lower left portion opened from the center of the upper surface of the front container body is erected. The outer elastic band plate 5 and the inner elastic band plate 6 constituting the hook 3 are erected from the upper surface of the front container body, and both are integrally formed of the front container body and the synthetic resin. Of course, the front container body and the rear container body can be integrally formed through hinges, and the whole can be integrally formed of synthetic resin.
[0027]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, in the suspension mechanism of the present invention, since the opening width d of the entrance / exit 8 is smaller than the diameter of the rod 7, the rod 7 presses the free end a, and the outer elastic strip 5 and the inner elastic strip 6 A force is exerted on both, and as a result, both of them are elastically deformed, so that they are easily expanded and can be easily suspended from the rod 7. In addition, once suspended, the opening width of the entrance / exit 8 is narrow and the inner elastic band plate 6 becomes a cushioning material. The state can be maintained. Further, the structure is simple and has the advantage of being easily formed.
[0028]
Further, the suspension mechanism of the third means is formed such that the end portion 6E of the elastic strip is formed into a mountain shape that can be elastically deformed, and a clearance 4 is provided as a clearance for the inner elastic strip 6. In combination with this, even if the opening width d of the entrance / exit 8 is made sufficiently narrow, the opening width d of the entrance / exit 8 can be narrowed after being suspended, and after being suspended, Combined with the fact that the inner elastic band plate 6 becomes a cushioning material, it is less likely to be inadvertently detached by an external force, and the suspended state can be reliably maintained.
[0029]
In addition, when the hanging container of the fourth means accommodates an insect repellent or the like and is suspended from a rod in the chiffon, the container may come off due to taking in and out of clothes, hangers, etc. It is possible to exhibit sufficient effectiveness of the contents of the container.
