Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an optional member which can be attached to furniture or the like used in an office, a home or the like and which can be hooked with articles such as clothes.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when there are no clothes racks or lockers for hanging jackets at offices, there is no choice but to hang the jacket on the back of the chair and use it in the office. Even when I go to work, or when I am very busy coming back from the office, I often use the jacket on the back of a chair because of its simplicity.

[0003]

However, when the jacket is hung on the backrest of the chair as described above, there is a problem that the jacket is wrinkled or its shape is lost. Also, when the back of the chair is low, the hem of the jacket may reach the floor, and the hem and cuffs may become dirty. Further, depending on how to hang it, there is a risk that, for example, an item placed in the inner pocket may fall and be lost.

[0004] Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems by attaching an optional member to which a jacket or small articles can be hooked to the furniture main body.

That is, an option member for furniture according to the present invention supports at least one hooking portion having at least one hooking element capable of hooking articles such as clothes and hangers. And a mounting portion detachably mounted on the furniture body.

[0006] With such a structure, even if there is no clothes rack or locker, clothes and hangers can be attached to the hooking element of the hooking part of the optional furniture member attached to the furniture main body near the user. Since it is possible to hook and use other articles such as the above, it is possible to prevent the jacket hung on the chair from being pressed against the back to form wrinkles, and it is also possible to prevent the jacket from deforming.

[0007] In order to improve convenience and prevent the original use of the furniture body from being hindered, it is preferable that the hook portion be rotatable with respect to the furniture body.

In order to make effective use of the space, it is preferable that the mounting portion can be mounted at an arbitrary position on the furniture main body, and as the furniture main body, a top plate such as a desk or a desk can be cited. You can

In this case, as a specific embodiment, it is useful to use, as the mounting portion, a clamp that sandwiches the top plate and is detachably attached to the top plate.

In order to prevent the hem of the jacket from reaching the floor, the support portion interposed between the hook portion and the attachment portion supports the hook portion at a predetermined height position. It is preferable that

In order to allow the jacket or the like to be easily hooked, it is preferable that the hooking element is a projection protruding from the hooking portion.
