Description

The present invention relates to a hanger for hanging clothes and the like.

Clothes such as outerwear and jackets come in a wide variety of sizes and materials, and if you hang clothes that do not match the size of the hanger, they will lose their shape. If your hand touches it slightly, or if you touch the clothes on the hanger next to it, the clothes will slip off the hanger as it is.

In order to prevent this, a hanger in which the shoulder rest portion of the hanger can be expanded and contracted is known (see Patent Document 1). There, a movable shoulder rest portion that slides along the arm portion of the frame is provided, and the fixed position is slid stepwise by the locking hole. The user moves and fixes the movable shoulder rest according to the size of the garment, and then hangs the garment on the hanger.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2014-230646

With such a hanger that expands and contracts the shoulder portion, it is necessary to perform a positioning operation of the shoulder rest portion in advance according to the size of clothes and the like. In addition, it is difficult to determine the adjustment position at first glance, and there is a risk that the shoulder rest portion may be moved to a position that does not fit the clothes, and the simple work of hanging the clothes takes time.

Therefore, it is required to provide a hanger on which clothes and the like can be hung without any trouble so as not to slip off.

The hanger of the present invention is a hanger on which a hanging object such as clothing can be hung, and is located on the hook side of the hanger main body provided with a shoulder pad and the hanger main body, and moves relative to the hanger main body in the vertical direction. It is equipped with a possible movable member. Then, it is possible to sandwich the hanging object between the shoulder rest portion and the movable member. However, the "vertical direction" is the direction along the central base of the hook and the hanger, the hook side represents the upward direction, and the opposite represents the downward direction. The hanger may be provided with a pressing member facing the hanging rod of the hanger body on the movable member.

For example, by providing a slide mechanism between the hook and the central base of the hanger body, the movable member can be moved in the vertical direction. The slide mechanism is arbitrary. For example, the hanger body and the movable member may be made different in thickness while the guide member is provided, and one of them may be inserted into the inside. It is also possible for the movable member to provide a protruding member on the lower surface facing the hanger body.

The hanger can be provided with a holding mechanism, and a first holding member capable of hitting the thumb ball of the hand or its vicinity can be provided at the lower part of the hook. For example, a rod-shaped member extending in a direction opposite to the curved portion of the hook may be provided. At the same time, it is possible to provide a second holding member on which the fingers of the hand can be hung at the central base of the movable member or at other places. For example, a protruding member that can be hung with a finger may be provided on the surface of the movable member.

The hanger can be provided with a regulating member that exerts a downward force on the movable member. For example, an elastic member may be provided to urge the movable member downward.

The hanger in another aspect of the present invention includes a hanger body, a movable member that can move relative to the hanger body in the vertical direction, and a regulating member that exerts a force on the movable member toward the hanger body. The movable member has a pressing member facing the hanging rod of the hanger body. For example, it is possible to provide an elastic member that is attached to the hanging rod or arm of the hanger body and exerts a downward force on the movable member.

The hanger in another aspect of the present invention is provided on either the hanger main body, the movable member that can move relative to the hanger main body in the vertical direction, and the hanger main body or the movable member, and is provided with a thumb ball of the hand. Alternatively, it includes a first holding member that can be touched in the vicinity thereof, and a second holding member that is provided on the other side and can be hung with the fingers of the hand. For example, a projecting member extending in the direction opposite to the hook opening can be provided on the hook integrated with the hanger body, and a projecting member projecting from the front surface (front surface or back surface) of the movable member can be provided.

Considering that the hanger is prevented from detaching from the rod body and the clothes falling, an auxiliary hook that is movable in the vertical direction relative to the hook and is provided with a cover portion that closes the opening of the hook is further provided. It is possible to provide. In this case, it is not necessary to provide the movable member, the slide mechanism, the first and second holding members, and the regulating member. That is, it is provided with a hanger body, a hook, and an auxiliary hook that is vertically movable relative to the hook and is provided with a cover portion that closes the opening of the hook. Hangers can be provided. Unlike the conventional mechanism as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2010-240044, the hanger can be hung with a simple structure without troublesome operation because the auxiliary hook is hung on the rod body by the vertical slide mechanism. It becomes possible to hang. For example, it is possible to provide a groove on the inner surface of the hook, provide a linear hook tip portion and a linear hook base portion, and slide the hook vertically along the groove portion.

According to the present invention, a hanging object such as clothing can be hung on a hanger easily and without slipping off.

In the present embodiment, along with a movable member 30 capable of sandwiching clothing such as a jacket between the frame 12 and the frame 12, a slide mechanism 60 for moving the movable member 30 in the vertical direction is provided at the center of the hanger 10. .. Further, it is provided with a holding mechanism 70 (projection portion 52, protrusion members 42A, 42B (see FIG. 2)) that enables the user to move the movable member 30 while holding the hanger 10 with one hand. This will be described in detail below.

FIG. 2 is a side view of the hanger seen from the right direction (arm 22B side) of FIG. FIG. 3 is a partial perspective view of the auxiliary arm 32A. FIG. 4 is a schematic perspective view of the vicinity of the guide member 17 as seen from the back side of the paper surface of FIG. Here, the side of the hanger body 12 viewed from the paper surface is the front side, and the opposite side is the back side, with the opening MT of the hook 20 facing the left side of the paper surface as shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 2, the thickness T of the movable member 30 is larger than the thickness t of the frame 12, and the guide member 17 integrated with the frame 12 has the same thickness t as the frame 12. In FIG. 3, a region KS facing the arm 22B of the frame 12 on the lower surface 32S of the auxiliary arm 32B of the movable member 30 is shown by a broken line. On the other hand, in the pressing member 37, the thicknesses of both end portions 39A and 39B are equal to the thickness t of the frame 12, and the other suspension portions 37A and pressing portion 37B are defined as the thickness T of the movable member 30. Further, the thickness of the hook 20 has the same thickness T as that of the frame 12.

As shown in FIG. 4, the central base 31 of the movable member 30 is formed with internal spaces IS1 and IS2 through which the guide pieces 17A and 17B are inserted, respectively. That is, the guide member 17 integrated with the frame 12 passes through the inside of the central base 31 of the movable member 30 and is connected to the central base 13 of the frame 12. The width of the suspended portion 37A extending from the central base portion 31 is a width corresponding to the distance interval between the pair of guide pieces 17A and 17B, and the moving direction of the suspended portion 37A is guided in the vertical direction by the guide member 17.

On the other hand, the central base portion 13 of the frame 12 is provided with a pair of rectangular guide members 38A, 38B and 38C, 38D on both the front and back surfaces (see FIGS. 1, 2 and 4). The thickness of each of the guide members 38A to 38D is determined so that the thickness of the guide member 38A (38C) and the guide member 38B (38D) added to the frame 12 is equal to the thickness T of the movable member 30. (See Fig. 2).

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, the surface of the suspension portion 37A and the surface of the pair of guide members 38A, 38B (38C, 38D) are flush with each other, and the pair of guide members 38A, 38B (38C, 38D) are also suspended. The moving direction of the portion 37A is defined in the vertical direction.

Further, the pair of guide members 38A, 38B (38C, 38D) limits the moving range of the movable member 30, and the position where the central base 31 is in contact with the pair of guide members 38A, 38B (38C, 38D) is the movable member. It is the lower limit position of 30. At this time, the pressing portion 37B is urged toward the hanging rod 16 side by the elastic force of the rubber band W. At this time, a gap at a substantially constant interval is formed between the arms 22A and 22B of the frame 12 and the auxiliary arms 32A and 32B of the movable member 30. As shown in FIG. 3, since the plurality of rectangular protrusions 33 formed on the movable member 30 are arranged at distance intervals exceeding the facing regions KS with the arms 22A and 22B, the arms 22A and 22B Does not hit. On the other hand, since the thickness of the hook 20 has the same thickness T as that of the frame 12, the position where the movable member 30 hits the lower surface 20U of the hook 20 is the upper limit position of the movable member 30.

As shown in FIG. 2, the central base 31 of the movable member 30 is provided with rectangular protrusion members 42A and 42B so as to project from the front surface and the back surface, respectively, along the left-right direction (horizontal direction). On the other hand, the hook 20 integrated with the frame 12 is provided with a rod-shaped protrusion 52 extending toward the arm 22B in the direction opposite to the curved portion 21 of the hook 20 (see FIG. 1). In other words, the protrusion 52 extends in the direction opposite to the opening MT of the hook 20.

The distance between the protrusion 52 and the protrusion member 42B is defined as a distance that enables the hanger to be held by one hand, and the vertical length of the guide member 17 also follows the distance. The user can move the movable member 30 upward while holding the hanger 10 with one hand by putting the middle finger and / or the ring finger on the protrusion member 42 and moving it so as to pull it toward the thumb side. When holding the hanger with the left hand, the hanger 10 may be held by hooking a finger on the protrusion member 42A.

As described above, the rubber bands W are hung on the locking portions 38A'and 38B' of the pressing portion 37B and the protruding portions 16A and 16B of the hanging rod 16. The rubber band W exerts an elastic force in a state where the movable member 30 is in the lower limit position, and exerts a force on the pressing portion 37B, that is, the movable member 30 in the downward direction where the hanging rod 16 is located. Therefore, when the user tries to raise the movable member 30 upward, the restoring force of the rubber band W acts on the movable member 30, and the movable member 30 is strongly pulled toward the hanging rod 16 side (downward) as it moves upward. Be done. Therefore, when the user releases the finger from the protrusion member 42A or 42B, the movable member 30 returns to the lower limit position.

FIG. 5 is a plan view of the hanger when the movable member 30 is lifted to the upper limit position. For example, while holding the sleeve contact of the jacket with one hand and holding the hanger 10 with the other hand, the movable member 30 is lifted upward by the operation of a finger. As shown in FIG. 5, with the movable member 30 lifted to the upper limit position, the outerwear is passed through the arms 22A and 22B of the frame 12 through the shoulder portion of the outerwear, and at the same time when the outerwear is finished, the protrusion members 42A / 42B of the movable member 30 are passed. Release your finger from. As a result, the movable member 30 is lowered by the restoring force of the rubber band, and the jacket is sandwiched between the arms 22A and 22B of the frame 12 and the auxiliary arms 32A and 32B of the movable member 30.

As described above, the plurality of protrusions 33 formed on the auxiliary arms 32A and 32B are arranged so as to face each other at a distance that does not hit the arms 22A and 22B of the frame 12. Therefore, the protrusions 33 press both sides of the portion placed on the arms 22A and 22B of the garment. As a result, the outerwear is firmly sandwiched between the frame 12 and the movable member 30, and the outerwear is prevented from slipping off. In particular, even when the size of the hanger 10 does not match the size of the outerwear in the outerwear made of a slippery material, it is possible to prevent the outerwear from slipping off. Further, by providing the protrusion 33, a gap is formed between the frame 12 and the movable member 30, and the air permeability can be maintained.

Further, when not only the outerwear but also clothes such as trousers are hung on the hanging rod 16, it can be hung by one-handed operation. That is, the clothes are hung on the hanging rod 16 with the movable member 30 lifted, and when the hanging rod 16 is finished, the clothes are sandwiched between the pressing member 37B and the hanging rod 16 and are securely held. .. Further, since the movable member 30 is pulled by the rubber band W, a tie or the like can be hung on the hanging rod 16 when the movable member 30 is in the lower limit position.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the hanger 10 includes the frame 12 and the movable member 30, and the movable member 30 includes the guide members 17 (17A, 17B) integrated with the frame 12 and the guide members 38A to 38D.

Further, the holding mechanism 70 (projection portion 52, protrusion portion 42A / 42B) makes it possible for the movable member 30 to approach the hook 20 by one-handed operation. Then, the rubber band W regulates the movement of the pressing member 37 and exerts a downward force on the hanging rod 16, so that when the user releases the finger, the movable member 30 moves downward and the hanging rod is used. Pressed against 16. By providing the movable member 30, the slide mechanism 60, and the holding mechanism 70 on the hanger 10, clothes can be easily and quickly hung on the hanger 10 and slipping off can be prevented. In particular, when a large number of hangers are hung in a narrow space such as employee clothes, it is possible to prevent the surrounding clothes from hitting and slipping off. Further, even when the hanger 10 is hung on the rod body to dry the laundry, it is possible to prevent the clothes from being blown off by the wind or the like. Furthermore, clothes other than outerwear (socks, towels, etc.) can be sandwiched without using clothespins.

In the present embodiment, the auxiliary arms 32A and 32B are formed to serve as auxiliary shoulder rests, but they may be configured as members that only press a part of the arms 22A and 22B, and are fitted to the arms 22A and 22B. It does not have to be shaped like this. Further, it is not necessary to provide the movable member 30 with a plurality of protrusions 33, and the arms 22A and 22B and the auxiliary arms 32A and 32B may be brought into contact with each other at the lower limit position. As for the holding mechanism, only the protrusion 52 of the hook 20 may be provided, and an arbitrary portion of the movable member 30 may be hung on the finger. The regulating member may be formed of an elastic member other than the rubber band W, and for example, a spring or the like for applying a force from the hook side may be provided in the vicinity of the guide member. Further, the movable member 30 may be urged downward by a member other than the elastic member.

It should be noted that the restricting member may not be provided, and the movable member 30 may be moved downward by its own weight or by operating a finger. In this case, the guide member 17 and the movable member 30 may be slid so that the movable member 30 stops at a predetermined position even when the finger is released. On the other hand, considering holding with both hands, it is possible to configure a hanger without the holding mechanism 70. In this case, the movable member 30 can be prevented from slipping off by moving the movable member 30 with the regulating member. In the configuration in which these restricting members or holding mechanisms are removed, either the frame 12 or the movable member 30 may be relatively moved to the hook side, and the shoulder rest portion may be provided on either one. Further, considering that the movable member 30 moves downward due to its own weight and the shape of the movable member can be held by one hand without a holding mechanism, even if only the movable member 30 is provided, clothing can be easily hung. It is possible to prevent slipping off.

As the hanger for hanging the jacket, it is not necessary to provide the pressing member 37 for pressing the trousers or the like, and the hanger can be applied to a hanger consisting only of an arm and a hook without a hanging rod. On the other hand, if attention is paid to wearing trousers, a tie, or the like, the movable member 30 may be provided only for the purpose of moving the pressing member 37 up and down. In this case, a pressing member may be provided on a rod-shaped hanger body that does not have an arm and extends in the lateral direction.
