Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To turn bags, support paper and apparels or the like being hung by a hinge section, and greatly contribute to the promotion of sales by making a hook section and an engaging section relatively turnable through the hinge section. SOLUTION: This hook 10 is constituted of a hook-shaped hook section 11, a plate-form engaging section 12, and a thin hinge section 13 which is formed on the border part between both sections, and is integrally formed, e.g. of polypropylene. Then, the hook section 11 and the engaging section 12 can be relatively turned with the axis Y of the hinge section 13 as a pivot. Also, the hook 10 is for hanging a bag in which small articles are housed and a support paper, and has a protuberance 15 on both end sections of the engaging section 12. At the same time, the hook 10 has engaging pieces 17 which are connected by a thin hinge section 16, and on the engaging piece 17, a hole 18 which engages with the protuberance 15 is formed. A hole which is formed on a header is engaged with the protuberance 15, and the engaging pieces 17 are bent, and the holes 18 are engaged with the protuberances 15. Thus, the upper edge of the bag is pinched with the engaging section 12 and the engaging pieces 17.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hanger used as a hanging portion of a hanger or for displaying a hook and clothes used for hanging a bag or mount.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there has been provided a hook as shown in FIG. 7 for hanging small articles in a transparent plastic bag for hanging display. The hook 1 is formed by integrally molding a hook-shaped hook portion 2 and a locking portion 3 for locking to a header portion of a bag with a plastic material.

FIG. 8 shows a hanger for hanging and displaying clothes and the like. The hanger 5 is formed by integrally forming a hook-shaped hook portion 6 and a hanger body portion 7 with a plastic material.

[0004]

By the way, in the hanging display, it is necessary to turn the goods which are hung so as to overlap each other and turn them about 90 ° to face the front of the consumer.
It is effective in promoting sales. However, in the hook 1 and the hanger 5, since the hook portion 2 and the locking portion 3 or the hook portion 6 and the hanger main body portion 7 are rigidly connected, the product is turned to the front of the consumer while the product is suspended. I couldn't let it.

[0005] Therefore, a hook portion formed of a rod-shaped metal fitting is rotatably attached to the hanger main body, or the hook portion is molded separately from the hanger main body with plastic,
A hanger (or hook) in which the two are relatively rotatably connected is provided. However, molding and integrating the two parts increases the number of manufacturing steps, increases the cost, and is not preferable.

[0006] In recent years, in consideration of safety for consumers, there has been an increasing number of cases in which clothes are passed through a meter reader while being hung on a hanger to detect metal. However, as described above, the use of metal for rotation causes a malfunction of the meter reader.

An object of the present invention is to provide a hook and a hanger which can be manufactured by a simple process, are inexpensive, and are suitable for a rotatable hanging display.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above objects, the present invention relates to a hook in which a hook portion and a locking portion are integrally formed of a plastic material, and a boundary portion between the hook portion and the locking portion. A thin hinge portion, and the hook portion and the locking portion are relatively rotatable via the hinge portion. The locking portion is provided, for example, for hanging a bag or for locking the hanger body.

In the above hook, since the hook and the locking portion are integrally formed of a plastic material including the hinge portion at the boundary between the hook and the locking portion, no assembly process is required, and the hook is easily and inexpensively manufactured. it can. In addition, the suspended bag, backing paper, clothing, or the like can be rotated by the hinge portion, which greatly contributes to sales promotion. Also,
Since a metal object such as a wire is not used, there is no problem that the needle detector malfunctions.

Further, the present invention is a hanger in which a hook portion and a hanger body portion are integrally formed of a plastic material. The hanger has a thin hinge portion at a boundary between the hook portion and the hanger body portion. And the hanger body can be relatively rotated via a hinge. Also in the hanger according to the present invention, similarly to the hook, the hanger can be formed in one shot, and has an effect that the suspended garment or the like can be rotated by the hinge.

The thin hinge portion, which is a main part of the present invention, has a thickness of about 0.3 mm and a length of about 2 to 6 cm, for example, assuming polypropylene as a material. Thus, a hinge part having sufficient strength can be formed.

[0012]
