Description

The present invention relates to a hanging tool and a sheet for forming a hanging tool.

When arranging products and the like on a store shelf, hanging devices are sometimes attached to the top of the products and packaging bags, and the products and packaging bags are sometimes displayed by being hung from a hanging rod, also called a display bar.

The hanging tools used for such hanging displays have a sickle-shaped locking part that can be hung on a hanging rod, or a locking part that has a through hole into which the hanging rod can be inserted. .

Conventionally, in this hanging device, a sheet material is folded back, and the flap has a shape in which an elongated connection hole is provided at the folded edge, and a hook member made of plastic or the like are separate parts. It is widely used that when the hook member is passed through the connection hole, only the hook portion at the top of the hook member is connected to the connection hole so as to protrude above the folded edge of the flap, thereby forming a locking part. (See Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 below).

Furthermore, instead of separating the opening paper and the hook member, by forming two hook-shaped cuts in one sheet material and bending the sheet material, the hook-shaped cuts protrude and overlap each other. A hanging tool in which one locking portion is formed is also known (see Patent Document 3 and Patent Document 4 below).

JP2011-098068A (Patent No. 5531534) JP2007-167138A (Patent No. 4955994) JP2015-003761A (Patent No. 6226416) Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2002-034743

Although these conventional hanging tools have a certain effect in allowing products to be hung and displayed, there is a need to improve the following problems.

In other words, in the case where the cap and the hook member are separate parts as seen in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, it is necessary to perform an operation to connect the cap and the hook member, so it is difficult to make it into a product form. It takes a lot of time. In the hanging tools of Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, the hook member can be inserted from the connection port even after the opening paper and the product are integrated, thereby reducing the effort of connection, but the connection operation is difficult. In addition, the connection method requires sliding the hook member onto the opening paper after passing the hook member through the connection port, so there is no risk of the connection port being deformed or damaged during connection. Another problem is that it is easy to do.

In addition, in the case where a hook member is passed through the connection hole of the opening paper, as seen in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, a person considering purchasing the product can pick up the product from the hanging rod and put it back. There is a risk that the hook member on the side connected to the opening sheet may be bent or the connecting opening of the opening sheet may be torn, and depending on the progress of the tear, there is also a risk that the hook member may fall off from the connecting opening.

On the other hand, stores that sell products sometimes change the display form or arrangement of products, such as changing a certain product from hanging display to horizontal display, or changing from horizontal display to horizontal display. The display may be changed to a hanging display.

However, in the hanging tools shown in Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, and Patent Document 3, the hook-shaped locking part always projects, so there is no space for the locking part when displayed horizontally. In addition, unnecessary locking portions are placed horizontally in a protruding state, resulting in an unsightly appearance. On the other hand, in the hanging tool shown in Patent Document 4, the locking part is formed by folding the sheet material and inserting the tip part into the stopper hole. Complicated operations are required to dismantle.

Furthermore, in particular, in the hanging devices shown in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, a portion of the hook member remains below the connection hole of the opening paper, so the hook member exists below the connection hole of the opening paper. The thickness increases only in the area where the For this reason, when displaying products in a more horizontal manner, more space is required in the height direction, and it is difficult to stack products stably. Further, such protrusion of the hook member and increase in partial thickness are undesirable when the product is transported before being displayed or stored in a stage case used during transportation, resulting in poor loading efficiency.

As described above, conventional hanging tools have problems such as the opening paper and the hook member being separate parts, or the locking part remaining in a protruding state, and it is difficult to solve these problems. desired.

Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems of the conventional hanging tools, eliminate the trouble of connecting the opening paper and the hook part, facilitate transportation and horizontal display, and further improve the ability to display hanging and horizontal displays. It is an object of the present invention to provide a hanging tool and a sheet for forming a hanging tool that can reduce the effort required to change the display format such as switching between display formats.

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 12. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. Further, in the present invention, there are no limitations on the articles to be hung.

The hanging tool 1 according to this embodiment is for displaying an article 3 made by bundling one or more cloth products such as socks and towels by hanging it from a hanging rod 4. In addition, regarding the hanging tool forming sheet 1A for forming this hanging tool 1, corresponding parts are given the same reference numerals and will be described together with the embodiment of the hanging tool 1. 2, 3, and 10 show a hanging tool forming sheet 1A that is a precursor of a hanging tool. 1 and 4 to 9 show a hanging tool 1 formed from the hanging tool forming sheet 1A shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, and FIG. 11 shows a hanging tool 1 formed from the hanging tool forming sheet 1A shown in FIG. The formed suspender 1 is shown. FIG. 12 shows a hanging tool 1 according to another embodiment in which the shape of the locking part is different from that shown in FIGS. 1 to 11.

The hanging tool 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 9 has parallel first ruled lines 11 and second ruled lines 12 that are bendably formed from one edge to the other edge of a single sheet material 10S. The base point P1 is the main body portion 20 which is approximately U-shaped in side view, in which the first surface portion 21, the upper surface portion 23, and the second surface portion 22 are connected, and two points separated from each other, particularly the first ruled line 11. , P2, and the locking portion forming portion 30A formed by the notches S are cut and raised from the first surface portion 21 of the main body portion 20 with the base end portion 31 between the base points P1 and P2. It has a section 30. The article 3 to be hung is interposed between the first surface part 21 and the second surface part 22 so as to be connected to each other, and can be suspended from the hanging rod 4 or the like via the locking part 30 . In addition, in FIG. 1, although the second surface part 22 is shown as the front (front), there is no limitation as to which of the first surface part 21 and the second surface part 22 is the front.

The hanging tool 1 shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 is a reference embodiment of the present invention, in which a first ruled line 11 is formed so as to be bendable from one edge to the other edge of a single sheet material 10S. The main body portion 20 is bent to have a first surface portion 21 and a second surface portion 22 connected to each other, and has a substantially V-shape in side view, and in particular, two separated points of the first ruled line 11 are defined as base points P1 and P2. The locking part 30 is formed by cutting and raising the locking part forming part 30A formed by the notch S between the base points P1 and P2 from the first surface part 21 of the main body part 20 with the base end part 31 as the base end part 31. have. That is, the main body section 20 shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 does not have the upper surface section 23. Similar to the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 to 9, the article 3 to be hung is interposed between the first surface part 21 and the second surface part 22 and connected to each other, and is suspended via the locking part 30. It can be hung from a hanging rod 4 or the like. Note that there is no limitation as to which of the first surface portion 21 and the second surface portion 22 is the front side. The specific shape of the main body in the embodiment of the present invention is the above-mentioned substantially U-shaped form, but a substantially V-shaped form will also be described.

The cut S for forming the locking part 30, which constitutes the locking part forming part 30A, may be a slit, a perforation, a half slit, or the like, as long as it can separate the part from other parts. Preferably, the slit is cut from the front surface to the back surface of the sheet material. Note that the shape drawn by the cut S and the shape of the locking portion 30 do not necessarily have to match. Therefore, the shape of the locking portion 30 and the remaining portion after cutting and raising the locking portion 30 does not need to match. It is desirable that they match because there are no unnecessary cut points and it is easy to maintain strength.

In this hanging tool 1, unlike the hanging tool according to the prior art, the opening paper and the hook member are not separate bodies, so the opening paper does not have a connection port with the hook member, and the opening paper does not have a connection port with the hook member. Problems such as the opening being unintentionally damaged or the hook member falling off from the connection port, which occur in conventional hanging devices in which the opening and the hook member are separate, do not occur.

In addition, this hanging tool 1 is characterized in that the locking part 30 can be hung and displayed on the hanging rod 4 by simply cutting and raising the base end 31 as an axis. The raised locking part 30 can be stored in the position before being cut and raised by simply laying down the base end 31 of the locking part 30 as a shaft part. Note that the angle at which the locking part 30 is cut and raised during use is not necessarily limited, but it can be hung on a hanging rod if it exceeds at least 90 degrees with respect to the first surface part 21, preferably 120 degrees or more, particularly If it is cut and raised at an angle of 175 degrees or more, it will be a hanging tool that can be easily hung on the hanging rod 4. Further, the retracted state of the locking portion is not limited to completely matching the state before being cut and raised, but may be returned to the position before being cut and raised by falling down.

In this hanging tool 1, as described above, the locking part 30 can be bent and extended using the base end part 31 as a shaft part, and the upright state and the collapsed state can be selected. In the retracted state, the locking portion 30 can be formed into a substantially U-shape or a substantially V-shape by simply bending a single sheet material 10S without any protruding portions. Therefore, even after the locking portion 30 is formed, it can be easily transformed into a form that is superior in space efficiency and appearance during horizontal display and transportation as shown in FIG. In addition, in FIG. 7, the first surface section 21 is displayed as the top surface (front surface), but as described above, either of the first surface section 21 and the second surface section 22 may be the front surface, and when displayed horizontally. In this case, it may be displayed with the second surface portion 22 facing upward.

Although the shape of the locking part 30 is not necessarily limited, it is set to a shape that can be locked to a hanging rod. The locking part 30 in the forms shown in FIGS. 1 to 11 has a hook shape with a partially open part, and in the form 1 shown in FIG. It has a shape in which a hole 32 is formed. Note that the form shown in FIG. 12 is similar to the form shown in FIGS. 1 to 9 except for the shape of the locking portion 30.

Note that a more preferable shape of the locking portion 30 is a partially open hook shape as shown in FIGS. 1 to 11. In the form having the through hole 32 shown in FIG. 12, when formed by punching or the like, an unnecessary portion with a circular diameter is formed, but the hook shape can be manufactured without forming such a portion.

Furthermore, if the display is partially open like a hook, the display can be hung and displayed by hooking it onto the hanging rod 4 from the open part, which facilitates the display operation. Furthermore, when multiple items are suspended from the hanging rod, it is possible to take out the item at the back of the front item or hang a new item at the back of the front item. It is. In addition, when it is set as a hook shape, there is no limitation as to whether the open position is on the right side or the left side.

On the other hand, especially in the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 to 9, the locking portion 30 is formed together with other portions cut and raised from the second surface portion 22 with the base end located between two distant points of the second ruled line 12. It is not something that will be done. In other words, the locking portion 30 is comprised only of a portion cut and raised from the first surface portion 21, which is a part of the thin sheet material 10S. Therefore, in order to form one locking portion 30, the locking portion can be formed more quickly than, for example, two portions cut and raised from the first surface portion 21 and the second surface portion 22. However, another completely unrelated locking part that does not cooperate with the locking part 30 cut and raised from the first surface part 21 is cut out from the second surface part 22 with the base end between two distant points of the second ruled line 12. The present invention does not exclude those that are cut up. In the case where separate locking portions can be formed from both the first surface portion 21 and the second surface portion 22, the first surface portion 21 and the second surface portion 22 have the same meaning.

This locking portion 30 has a thin plate shape that protrudes from the first ruled line 11 that is one edge of the upper surface portion 23, so when it is suspended from the hanging rod 4 via the locking portion 30, it is slightly tilted in the front and back direction. However, in stores that sell products, as shown in FIG. Therefore, even if it is hung at a slight angle, it has almost no effect on the appearance. In addition, the substantially V-shape does not have the upper surface portion 23 and is less likely to be in an inclined hanging state. Rather, since the locking part 30 is a thin plate type in which a part of the sheet material 10S is cut and raised, it is more efficient, such as making it easier to lock the product to the hanging rod 4 and quickly replenishing the product. functions occur.

The length L5 from the first ruled line 11 of the locking part 30 to the lower edge 21E of the first surface part 21 is preferably within 60% of the length L6 from the first ruled line 11 to the lower edge 21E of the first surface part. is preferably within 50%. It is easy to ensure the strength of the locking portion 30 and the first surface portion 21.

The ratio of the length L2 of the proximal end portion 31 to the length L1 of the first ruled line 11 is not limited, but is preferably 15 to 60%. Within this range, it is easy to maintain the necessary strength during use. Further, the position of the base end portion 31 is not limited, but since the locking portion 30 is cut and raised from the first surface portion 21, the locking portion 30 is positioned at the center thereof with the direction in which the first ruled line 11 extends as the left-right direction. It is desirable that the hanging characters be placed in a position that does not tilt excessively to the left or right. Note that the size and dimensions of the locking portion 30 in this embodiment are not limited.

Here, since this locking portion 30 can be stored after being cut and raised from the first surface portion 21, in particular, the locking portion 30 that has been cut and raised at one end is re-pressed with an appropriate load. It is desirable to have bending properties that allow it to be in a retracted state. Further, it is desirable that the locking portion has a bending characteristic that does not instantly return to the protruding state after being stored. From this point of view, it is desirable that the load for bringing the locking portion into the retracted state is preferably 0.3N or less. Further, after the cut and raised locking portion is placed in the retracted state, it is desirable that the return time until the tip of the locking portion is lifted by 10 mm is 1 second or more.

Measurement of the force for setting the retracted state and measurement of the return time are shown in FIG. To measure the force for setting the retracted state, first, as shown in FIG. The reference position is a position cut and raised by 180 degrees with respect to 21. Next, as shown in FIG. 8(B), from this reference position, the locking part 30 is supported within 50% of the distal end side and bent with the proximal end part 31 as the shaft part. Return it to its original position and measure the load at that time. Although the illustrated example shows a substantially U-shaped main body portion 20, the measurement method is the same for a substantially V-shaped main body portion 20. The same applies to the return time described below.

The return time is as follows: After the locking part 30 is brought into the state before being cut and raised from the position where it is cut and raised 180 degrees with respect to the first surface part 21, a weight W of 100 g with a smooth lower surface is moved 50% from the tip of the locking part 30. Place it in the area and let it stand for 10 seconds. Thereafter, the weight W is removed, and the time required for the tip 30t of the locking portion 30 to rise 10 mm (L7 in the figure) from the first surface portion 21 as shown in FIG. 8(C) is measured. Note that if the locking portion 30 does not rise by 10 mm or more even after 2 seconds or more, the measurement is terminated.

In the hanging device 1 having the locking portion 30 having such bending characteristics, the locking portion 30 can be easily formed in an upright state, and can also be stored in a collapsed state. Furthermore, when changing from the standing state to the stored state, the locking portion 30 does not immediately stand up, making it easier to change to a horizontal display.

Furthermore, in the hanging tool 1 of this embodiment, it is desirable that the bending strength at the base end portion 31 is 1.3 or more. With this bending strength, there is no fear that the locking portion will break even if the locking portion 30 is raised or laid down in a typical usage mode. This folding strength is a value based on JIS P 8115 (2001). Note that the bending angle is 135° and the clamp R is 0.38 mm.

Further, the load capacity when the locking part 30 is hung on the hanging rod 4 can be appropriately designed depending on the article to be hung, but it is preferably 1.7 N or less. If it is 1.7N or less, the locking portion 30 will break or bend significantly in a typical hanging display form, making it difficult to fall. Here, as shown in FIG. 4, after forming the locking portion 30, the lower end portion of the first surface portion 21 and the lower end portion of the second surface portion 22 are overlapped and a jig such as a clip is used. At the same time, the locking part 30 is hung on the hanging rod 4, and the weight is further suspended from the jig. This is the value measured as the weight of the item that has fallen from the hanging rod or damaged the hanging tool.

On the other hand, the first ruled line 11 is a line that serves as a trigger for folding the sheet material 10S from the hanging tool forming sheet 1A into the shape of the hanging tool 1 in a substantially U-shape or a substantially V-shape. The ruled line 12, along with the first ruled line, is a line that serves as a trigger for folding the sheet material 10S from the hanging tool forming sheet 1A into the shape of the hanging tool 1 in a substantially U-shape, and these lines are simply printed lines. However, the sheet material 10S may be easily folded along the first ruled line 11 and the second ruled line 12 with perforations, half slit lines, push creases, fold creases, embossing, etc. Preferably, it is a crease formed by processing to form a compression line in the material. These line types can be selected depending on the material of the sheet material 10S and the required strength. However, creases are particularly preferred since the strength of the ruled line portion is less reduced than that of perforations or half slits. Note that the fold line may be a solid line or a broken line.

In the hanging tool 1 and the hanging tool forming sheet 1A having the configurations shown in FIGS. 1 to 9, it is particularly preferable that both the first ruled line 11 and the second ruled line 12 have straight and solid fold lines pressed from the same surface. The first ruled line 11 and the second ruled line 12 are arranged in parallel. In this form, the first surface part 21 and the second surface part 22 can face each other in parallel, and the distance between the first ruled line 11 and the second ruled line 12 in the upper surface part 23 is constant, so the first It is easy to stably interpose the article 3 between the surface part 21 and the second surface part 22, and it is also easy to make it hang in a well-balanced manner without tilting when suspended from the hanging rod 4 via the locking part 30. .

However, in this embodiment, the first ruled line 11 and the second ruled line 12 do not need to be completely parallel, and the sheet material 10S is formed into a substantially U-shape so that a space in which the article 3 is interposed is formed. It is sufficient that the ends of the first ruled line 11 and the second ruled line 12 are spaced apart from each other to such an extent that bending is possible. Further, the first ruled line 11 and the second ruled line 12 do not need to be the same type of line; for example, the first ruled line 11 can be a perforation, and the second ruled line 12 can be a different line type, such as a crease. .

The first surface portion 21 and the second surface portion 22 are located so as to face each other or substantially face each other when used as the hanging tool 1, and the article 3 to be suspended between the first surface portion 21 and the second surface portion 22 is intervened. The areas of the first surface part 21 and the second surface part 22 do not need to be the same, and can be set to any appropriate area. In the first surface portion 21 and second surface portion 22 in the illustrated form, a connecting slit 41 is provided in a cross shape to facilitate connection of the article 3 and the hanging tool 1. The article 3 and the hanging tool 1 are connected by passing a fastener such as a thread through the connecting slit 41 with a cloth product such as a towel or socks interposed between the first surface part 21 and the second surface part 22. It is possible to connect. At this time, in the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 to 9, the article is arranged so that the distance L4 between the first surface part 21 and the second surface part 22 is shorter than the width L3 of the upper surface part 23 at the position of the connection slit 41, for example. When connected, the article 3 can be held between the first surface portion 21 and the second surface portion 22. However, this connecting slit 41 does not necessarily need to be formed. Further, its shape is not limited to a cross. Further, the present invention is not limited to fasteners such as threads or the like to hold the article 3 around the body.

Further, in the illustrated hanging tool 1, the first surface portion 21 and the second surface portion 22 are formed into a substantially rectangular shape, but are not limited to this shape. For example, the design may be enhanced by using an appropriate shape such as a human shape, a fish shape, an animal shape, or a geometric shape. Further, the shapes of the first surface portion 21 and the second surface portion 22 do not need to be the same. However, a substantially rectangular or substantially square shape has the advantage that it has an excellent yield when manufacturing by punching out a large sheet material, can reduce the generation of excess length, and can effectively utilize resources.

Furthermore, in the hanging device 1 of this embodiment, when it is hung from the hanging rod 4 or when it is displayed horizontally, it is displayed so that the first surface portion 21 or the second surface portion 22 faces the front. Therefore, appropriate information, such as product characteristics and product advertising information, may be printed, embossed, or foil-stamped on the inner and outer surfaces of the first surface portion 21 and the second surface portion 22.

On the other hand, since the upper surface portion 23 formed in the case of the substantially U-shaped main body portion 20 particularly shown in FIGS. 1 to 9 is located between the first ruled line 11 and the second ruled line 12, The distance L4 between the first surface portion 21 and the second surface portion 22 is approximately determined by this width. Therefore, if the width L3 of the upper surface part 23, that is, the distance between the first ruled line 11 and the second ruled line 12, is designed depending on the thickness of the article 3 interposed between the first surface part 21 and the second surface part 22, etc. good. In this design, it is possible to take into consideration the manner in which the article is held, for example, holding the article by wrapping it around the body or holding it with a fastener such as a thread. In addition, in this hanging tool 1, there is no need for a connection hole for the hook member in the top surface part 23, so similarly to the first surface part 21 and the second surface part 22, the top surface part 23 is also provided with appropriate printing, embossing, foil stamping, etc. It has the advantage of being easy to add information.

On the other hand, in the hanging tool 1, since the first surface part 21, the second surface part 22, and the upper surface part 23 can be made flat, any one of the first surface part 21, the second surface part 22, and the upper surface part 23 or Barcodes, RFIDs, and the like may be printed, pasted, or embedded across multiple surfaces for inventory management of the articles 3 to be hung. In addition, a pattern or information may be printed, engraved, or pasted using a known printing, embossing, or foil stamping method.

In the hanging tool 1 and the hanging tool forming sheet 1A according to the present invention, the material of the sheet material 10S is not necessarily limited. Examples include biodegradable plastics, plastics, paper, pulp molds, and vulganized fibers. From the standpoint of eliminating plastics and reducing plastics, it is desirable to use paper that does not use plastic materials.

Further, the sheet material 10S may have a single layer structure or a multilayer structure. It may be composed only of a single-layer resin sheet such as a film, or it may be a sheet composed of a fibrous material such as paper or nonwoven fabric. It may also be one in which a fibrous material such as paper or nonwoven fabric and a resin film are laminated and integrated by laminating or the like. It may be one in which metal such as aluminum is vapor-deposited, or it may be one in which metal foil is laminated and integrated. The thickness, basis weight, and basis weight of the sheet material 10S are not necessarily limited. In addition, when the sheet material 10S includes a layer of fibrous material such as paper, it is particularly preferable that the first ruled line 11 and the second ruled line 12 are fold lines formed by compression. The fibers in the ruled line area become denser, making it easier to bend and less likely to break.

Regardless of whether the material is paper, the sheet material 10S has a Taber stiffness of 5 to 60 mN・m measured in accordance with JIS P 8125 (2000), and measured in accordance with JIS P 8115 (2001). It is desirable that the folding durability is 1.3 or more. If the Taber stiffness is 5 to 60 mN・m and the folding durability is 1.3 or more, the strength of the first surface portion 21, second surface portion 22, and top surface portion 23 will be sufficient, and for example, The edges of the first surface portion 21 and the second surface portion 22 are less likely to break. Further, the first ruled line 11 and the second ruled line 12 can be easily formed into a substantially U-shape. Furthermore, the first ruled line formed on the sheet material 10S can be easily formed into a substantially V-shape. Further, the locking portion 30 can be easily cut and raised from the locking portion forming portion 30A, and the locking portion 30 can be easily stored in the state before being cut and raised. Then, the retracted locking portion 30 does not return instantaneously, and a sufficient retracted state is easily maintained.

Furthermore, this sheet material 10S is compliant with JAPAN TAPPI Paper Pulp Test Method No. 1, regardless of whether the material is paper or not. It is desirable that the Z-axis strength measured in accordance with 18-1:2000 is 400 kN/m ² or more. In this hanging tool 1, the locking portion 30 has a shape that can be cut and raised, and can be formed by punching such as Thomson processing or cutting using a cutting plotter or the like. With the above Z-axis strength, such punching and cutting can be easily performed, so manufacturing is easy.

Here, when the sheet material 10S is paper, its basis weight is preferably 250 g/m ² or more, more preferably 300 g/m ² or more, particularly preferably 350 g/m ² or more. Easy to obtain sufficient rigidity. In addition, there is no upper limit from the viewpoint of strength, but if the basis weight is too high, it will be easier to obtain sufficient rigidity, but the thickness will increase and there is a risk that folds and wrinkles will easily occur during paper making using calender rolls, etc. From this point of view, the upper limit is preferably 1470 g/m ² , more preferably 1240 g/m ² . Furthermore, the upper limit is preferably 1000 g/m ² , more preferably 450 g/m ² , since the usability of the locking portion, such as cutting and raising and retracting, is better. The paper thickness is preferably 250 μm or more and 2,000 μm or less. Note that the basis weight is a value measured in accordance with "Paper and paperboard - basis weight measurement method" described in JIS P 8124 (2011), and the paper thickness is a value measured in accordance with "Paper and paperboard - basis weight measurement method" described in JIS P 8118 (2014). This is a value measured in accordance with the "Thickness and Density Test Method for Paperboard and Paperboard".

When the sheet material 10S is paper, the constituent fibers can be pulp fibers or synthetic fibers. From the standpoint of eliminating plastics and reducing plastic use, it is desirable to use paper that does not use plastics, and it is desirable that the paper be made only of fibers derived from natural materials and do not contain synthetic fibers. Preferably, paper is made of only pulp fibers.

Preferred constituent pulp fibers when the sheet material 10S is paper include softwood kraft pulp such as softwood unbleached kraft pulp (NUKP), softwood semi-bleached kraft pulp (NSBKP), softwood bleached kraft pulp (NBKP), and hardwood unbleached kraft pulp. These are hardwood kraft pulps such as kraft pulp (LUKP), hardwood semi-bleached kraft pulp (LSBKP), and hardwood bleached kraft pulp (LBKP). In particular, it is particularly preferable to use bleached softwood kraft pulp and bleached hardwood kraft pulp, since it is easy to achieve both the appearance and strength of the product after processing. Other pulps include chemical pulps such as waste paper pulp, hardwood sulfite pulp, softwood sulfite pulp, and various known pulps such as chemically or mechanically produced pulps from non-wood fibers such as kenaf, hemp, and reeds. A suitable combination of pulps may be used.

In particular, when using paper as a material for the sheet material 10S, which is desirable in terms of plastic-free and plastic-reducing properties, the first ruled line 11 may be arranged along the longitudinal direction (MD direction) of the paper, although this is not necessarily limited. is desirable. In this way, the direction of bending and stretching of the locking portion 30 becomes perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the paper. Since the longitudinal direction of paper is the direction along which the fibers run, it tends to tear easily. In this hanging tool 1, when it is hung from the hanging rod 4 via the locking part 30, the base end 31 of the locking part 30 is pulled in the direction perpendicular to the first ruled line 11. However, when the first ruled line 11 is along the longitudinal direction of the paper as described above, even if the locking part 30 is pulled in the distal direction, tearing is difficult to occur, it is easy to stretch, and the range of motion is easy to expand. In this case, it is particularly desirable that the cuts for forming the locking portions 30 be directed in the lateral direction (CD direction) of the paper from the base points P1 and P2, which are the cut start positions of the first ruled line 11. . In particular, it is desirable to provide a portion perpendicular to the first ruled line 11. By doing so, it is easier to ensure the strength near the base end portion 31 of the locking portion 30. However, the present invention is not limited to this form. For example, from the viewpoint of imposition efficiency during processing, the first ruled line 11 and the second ruled line 12 may be arranged along the lateral direction (CD direction) of the paper.

When the material of the sheet material 10S is paper composed of pulp fibers, the tensile strength in the longitudinal direction measured in accordance with JIS P 8113 (2006) must be 40 kN/m or more and the tensile strength in the lateral direction be 10 kN. /m or more is desirable. If it has this tensile strength, it will not easily break or stretch even if a load is applied as a hanging tool for a long time.

Further, when the material of the sheet material 10S is paper, it is desirable to add at least one of a sizing agent and a paper strength enhancer as a paper manufacturing additive. Easy to adjust to desired strength.

Examples of the sizing agent include styrene sizing agents, alkyl ketene dimer (AKD), alkenyl succinic anhydride (ASA), neutral rosin sizing agents, rosin sizing agents, and modified rosin emulsion sizing agents. Among these, rosin sizing agents and modified rosin emulsion sizing agents are preferred. The rosin sizing agent is not particularly limited. Rosin-based substances include, for example, reinforced rosins such as gum rosin, wood rosin, tall oil rosin, etc., modified with α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids such as fumaric acid, maleic acid, and acrylic acid or their anhydrides; Examples include rosin esters obtained by reacting polyhydric alcohols such as glycerin, trimethylolethane, trimethylolpropane, pentaerythritol, and diglycerin. Further, rosin sizing agents include those obtained by emulsifying these alone or a mixture thereof, and those obtained by emulsifying them alone and then mixing them. Furthermore, it also includes emulsified products to which various polymers are added in order to further improve size development.

Various known paper strength enhancers can be used, such as polyacrylamide resins, polyamide resins, polyamine resins, acrylic resins, melamine resins, urea resins, and polyamide epichlorohydrin resins. Among these, it is preferable to use an amphoteric paper strength enhancer. Examples of the amphoteric polyacrylamide include copolymers of acrylamide and anionic monomers and cationic monomers, Mannich-modified copolymers of acrylamide and anionic monomers, and Hoffmann decomposition products. In particular, amphoteric polyacrylamide has a self-fixing function, so even if it is added to improve interpaper strength, it will not become excessively cationic, and by including it together with the modified rosin emulsion sizing agent, it will stabilize. can be fixed.

The amount of the sizing agent added is preferably 0.5 kg/t or more and 5.0 kg/t or less in terms of solid content. The amount of the paper strength enhancer added is preferably 12 kg/t or more and 30 kg/t or less in terms of solid content. Note that "kg/t" indicates the mass (kg) per 1 ton of pulp. By adjusting the amount of the sizing agent added within this range, water resistance can be improved.

Note that the sheet material 10S can contain various other additives within a range that does not impair the intended effects of the present invention.

Here, when the sheet material 10S is paper, it is particularly desirable to use multilayer paper having surface layers 51, 51 and a middle layer 60, as shown in a schematic cross-sectional view in FIG. It is difficult to increase the strength of a single-layer paper material compared to a plastic material, but it is easier to increase the strength of a multi-layer paper material. In addition, multilayer paper allows the characteristics of each layer to be changed, making it easy to ensure elasticity while maintaining high density. For example, by combining a pair of surface layers 51 that are hard but tend to break easily with a flexible middle layer 60, the locking portion 30 can be easily cut and raised, and it can be made to be foldable. It becomes easier. Note that multilayer paper can be manufactured by multilayer papermaking.

When the sheet material 10S is a multilayer paper, the number of layers is not limited, but it is preferably five to nine layers, with the middle layer 60 preferably having three or more layers, particularly five layers. The form shown in FIG. 9 has a three-layer middle layer 60. When the total number of middle layers 60 is three or more, the toughness and durability of the multilayer paper can be further improved. The upper limit of the total number of middle layers 60 is preferably seven layers or less from the viewpoint of maintaining interlayer strength. In addition, three to seven layers are easy to operate while maintaining interlayer strength when using a circular mesh multi-tube type paper machine.

Even in the case of multilayer paper, the basis weight of the sheet as a whole is preferably 300 g/m ² or more and 1470 g/m ² or less. The basis weight of the surface layer 51 and the middle layer 60 is not particularly limited, but the basis weight of the surface layer 51 is preferably 50.0 g/m ² or more and 260.0 g/m ² or less per layer. Further, the basis weight of the entire middle layer is preferably 200 g/m ² or more and 950 g/m ² or less. Further, the ratio of the total basis weight of the pair of surface layers 51, 51 to the basis weight of the entire multilayer paper is preferably 20.0% or more and 35.0% or less. The pair of surface layers have high rigidity, and the middle layer has excellent flexibility. Furthermore, in the multilayer paper, by setting the ratio of the total basis weight of the pair of surface layers within the above range, it is possible to impart properties that make it difficult to bend. In the case of multilayer paper, the paper thickness is also preferably 250 μm or more and 2,000 μm or less. When the paper thickness is within this range, peeling of the paper layer can be suppressed. The density is preferably 0.65 to 1.00 g/cm ³ , particularly 0.73 to 0.85 g/cm ³ . When the density of the multilayer paper is within this range, it has a high basis weight, excellent rigidity, and is difficult to break.

Further, when the sheet material 10S is a multilayer paper, it is preferable to add at least one of the above-mentioned sizing agent and paper strength enhancer as a papermaking additive to each of the surface layers 51, 51 and the middle layer. In this case, the amount of the sizing agent added to the surface layer is preferably 0.5 kg/t or more and 5.0 kg/t or less in terms of solid content. Further, the amount of the sizing agent added to the middle layer is preferably 2.0 kg/t or more and 5.0 kg/t or less in terms of solid content. Further, the amount of the paper strength enhancer added to each layer is preferably 12 kg/t or more and 30 kg/t or less in terms of solid content. By setting it within this range, it is easy to impart various paper strengths such as interlayer strength of multilayer paper.

Further, as for the pulp fibers constituting each layer, it is preferable that the pulp of the surface layer 51 and the middle layer 60 is a mixture of softwood kraft pulp and hardwood kraft pulp. The paper is thicker and has sufficient strength. In addition, by setting the mass ratio (%) of the softwood kraft pulp and the hardwood kraft pulp in the surface layer to 5/95 or more and 40/60 or less, a large amount of hardwood kraft pulp, which is rigid and easily densified, is contained, and the surface layer has a high density. It has a rigid characteristic due to its density, and tends to have excellent strength. As for the surface layer and the middle layer, it is desirable that the mass ratio (%) of the softwood kraft pulp and the hardwood kraft pulp be 20/80 or more and 40/60 or less. It contains a large amount of softwood kraft pulp, which is highly flexible, and has good flexibility.
