BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hanging mechanism and a hanging container equipped with the hanging mechanism.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a hanging container, for example, a hook is erected from the upper surface of a container body containing insect repellent, deodorant, etc., and the hook is engaged with a rod at a hanging place. There are some that are used by hanging.

Since the hook in the conventional container of this kind has an arcuate shape with one end of the ring opened, the hook often comes off due to an external force in a specific direction. Especially, clothes dance and the like. In the case of the insect repellent container used for, it is easy to receive external force from all directions by the stored clothes and hangers, and the tendency is strong.

In consideration of these points, the hook is made elastically deformable, and when the hook is fitted to the rod for suspending the hook, the rod inlet / outlet of the hook is elastically expanded to fit the hook. On the other hand, it has been proposed that the hook is provided so as not to come off easily due to the narrowing due to the elastic restoration of the rod entrance and exit (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-130081).

The hook has a c-shape when viewed from the front, and the narrower the opening width of the inlet / outlet is, the more the rod once fitted can be prevented from being undesirably removed by an external force. With such a hook, there is a limit to elastic deformation, and there is a limit to making the opening width of the entrance and exit narrow so that the rod does not easily pass therethrough.

The hooks 3 are hook-shaped with one side lower part open, and each end is connected by a free end a, and a pair of outer elastic strips 5 are provided with a gap 4 as a clearance allowance between them. And an inner elastic strip 6 formed in an arc shape are preferably used.

The inner elastic strip 6 has its end portion 6E ascended and extended in an arc shape below the free end a with the end portion 6E thereof being separated from each other, and then connected to the upper end of the body 2 to be suspended. Further, the opening width d of the entrance / exit 8 formed between the free end a and the end top c and allowing the rod 7 for suspending the suspended object to be taken in and out.
Is formed smaller than the diameter of the rod 7.

FIG. 2 shows an example of suspending the suspension mechanism 1 of the present invention on a cylindrical rod 7. As shown in FIG. 2 (a), when the door 8 is brought into contact with the rod 7 perpendicularly and the hook 3 is pushed in, mainly the upper part of each elastic strip is elastically deformed and expanded, and the door 8 is expanded.
As shown in FIG. 2 (b), the rod 7 can enter the inside from the entrance / exit 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,
A force is applied to both the outer elastic strips 5 and the inner elastic strips 6, and as a result, both elastically deform and easily spread.

Then, by further pushing in the hook 3, the rod 7 is engaged in the hook 3 as shown in FIG. 2 (c), at which time each elastic strip is elastically restored to its original state. The doorway 8 is returned to the original narrow opening width. In such a suspended state, even if an external force is applied, the inlet / outlet 8 is narrow, and the inner elastic strip 6 serves as a cushioning material to reduce the elastic deformation of the outer elastic strip 5, which is extremely effective. Hard to come off.

At the time of removal, the doorway 8
It can be easily removed by pushing the hook 3 in the opposite direction to widen the opening width of the entrance / exit 8 and then pushing the hook 3 further. Also in this case, since the rod 7 contacts the free end a to elastically deform both elastic strips, the entrance / exit 8 easily expands. When the hook 3 is pushed in, the suspended body 2
It is good to do with.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment, wherein the inner elastic strip 6
The end portion 6E of the above is formed into a mountain shape that is elastically deformable in a side view by connecting the end portion b to the upper surface of the suspended body 2 on the side of the free end a so that it is maximized below the free end a of the hook. ing.
Also in this case, the opening width d of the entrance / exit 8 is formed smaller than the diameter of the rod 7.

The chevron shape of the end portion 6E of the inner elastic strip 6 is
Various types can be adopted as long as the above requirements are satisfied.
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the free end a of the inner elastic strip 6 to the end crest is formed in a circular arc shape, and the end apex c to the end b is formed in an inclined shape to form a chevron shape of the end part. And
When the slanted portion is pressed by the rod when it is fitted on the rod 7, the mountain-shaped portion can be elastically deformed surely so as to widen the opening width of the entrance / exit 8, and the rod can be easily mounted. Further, since the peak portion is provided at a relatively acute angle, even if the rod 7 once fitted pushes the arc-shaped portion laterally, the mountain-shaped portion is difficult to be crushed in terms of shape, and the entrance / exit 8 is arbitrarily formed. It is configured so that it does not spread.

The suspension mechanism 1 of this embodiment is provided with a cylindrical rod 7.
An example of the case where the hook 7 is hung in the direction of the rod 7 will be described.
As shown by the chain double-dashed line, the rod 7 elastically deforms so as to push down the inclined portion of the end portion 6E of the inner elastic strip 6, and the upper elastic strips elastically deform to widen the entrance / exit 8. The elastic strip plate 6 is pushed in the direction of the gap 4 as the outward clearance, and the rod 7 can enter the inside from the entrance / exit 8.

Then, by further pushing the hook 3, the rod 7 is engaged in the hook 3, and at this time, the elastic strips are elastically restored to the original state and the entrance 8 is returned to the original narrow opening width. . In such a suspended state, even if an external force acts, the entrance / exit 8 is also narrow, and the inner elastic strip 6 serves as a cushioning material, which reduces the elastic deformation of the outer elastic strip 5. , Very difficult to come off.

At the time of detachment, from this state, the inclined portion of the inner elastic strip 6 is pushed down with a finger 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 for easy removal. be able to. In this case as well, when the hook 3 is pushed in, the suspended body 2 may be used.

Various objects can be used as the suspended object 2, and it can be applied to a case-like object such as the illustrated example or a plate-like object, and any other suspended object. Further, various materials such as synthetic resin, metal and wood can be used, but it is convenient in terms of molding to integrally form each elastic band plate with synthetic resin.

FIG. 1 shows an example of the hanging container A of the present invention. The container A is equipped with the hanging mechanism 1 of the present invention described above. The hanging container A employs a case-shaped container body 9 into which a stored item can be inserted, as the suspended body 2. Examples of the stored items include, but are not limited to, insect repellents and deodorants.

The container body 9 of the illustrated example is in the form of a flat hollow case as a whole, and has a front container body having a peripheral wall extending rearward from a peripheral edge portion of a horizontally elongated rectangular shape and a rear wall peripheral edge of a horizontally elongated rectangular shape. The rear container body having the peripheral wall extending forward from the portion is abutted against the end faces of the peripheral walls and is firmly fixed by the fixing means. As the fixing means, the fitting between the projection and the fitting cylinder provided at a plurality of locations on the inner peripheral edge of the front wall and the plurality of locations on the inner peripheral edge of the rear wall is adopted, but the invention is not limited to this. Absent. In addition, a large number of window holes 10 are formed in the front and rear walls of the container body for volatilizing the insect repellent.

In addition, a hook 3 is erected from the central portion of the upper surface of the front container body to the lower left portion thereof. 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 with the front container body by a synthetic resin. It is of course possible to integrally form the front container body and the rear container body via the hinges and integrally form the whole body with a synthetic resin.
