Description

  The present invention relates to a folding mechanism for a folding hanger.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a foldable multiple hanger composed of a foldable main body provided with a hook portion and a plurality of hanging portions (pinch, hanger) and a hanging strap connecting the main body portion and the hook portion has been known. (See Patent Document 1). Usually, in such a multi-layered clothes hanger, it is possible to fold as compactly as possible from the viewpoint of flexibility during folding (ease of folding), storage and storage after folding, or package form at the time of sale, etc. For example, a hanging string that is easy to bend using a relatively soft material such as polyethylene is used.

However, since polyethylene suspension straps are flexible, they are inferior in mechanical strength and weather resistance. Therefore, with multiple hangers that hang a large number of dried fish, they can withstand the hanging load of dried products when used for a long time. There was a problem that the hanging strap part was damaged without being broken. For this reason, some have used metal (stainless steel) wires instead of such resin straps, but metal wires have excellent mechanical strength but lack flexibility. For this reason, it is difficult to fold and bundle them, and in particular, since the hook portion is not foldable, it has been a hindrance at the time of packaging (packaging) and storing and storing at the time of sale.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a foldable hanger that can be folded compactly and is convenient for storage and storage.

  That is, the present invention described in claim 1 includes a hook portion, a foldable main body portion on which a plurality of hangers are suspended, and a suspension portion that connects the main body portion and the hook portion. The suspending portion is characterized in that it can be pivoted vertically and horizontally at each connecting portion.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the foldable hanger according to the first aspect, the suspension part is coupled to the joint part so as to be rotatable up and down, and the joint part is connected to each connecting part in the left and right direction. It is characterized by being connected in a rotatable manner.

  Further, according to a third aspect of the present invention, in the foldable hanger according to the first or second aspect, the stopper includes a stopper that regulates the rotation range of the main body side joint portion. It is said.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the foldable hanger according to any one of the first to third aspects, the hanging portion is made of a metal wire.

According to the present invention, the suspension portion is pivotally coupled to the respective connecting portions of the main body portion and the hook portion so that the main body portion can be pivoted up and down and left and right. The hook portion can be rotated downward while being shifted to the side of the main body portion, so that the disturbing hook portion can be stored on the main body side. Moreover, since the rotation range of the joint part on the main body part side is regulated by the stopper, the hanging part does not unintentionally greatly open outward after the hanger is folded, and a compact folded state can always be maintained.
Thus, if the foldable hanger can be folded compactly, the package at the time of sale can be made compact and convenient for storage and storage when not in use.

  In addition, even during use, even if the hanger is shaken by wind or the like, the joint part freely rotates, so the load applied to the joint part is greatly reduced, and the suspension part 3 has weather resistance and mechanical strength. Because excellent metal wire is used, the durability of the hanger is greatly improved.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of a folding hanger according to the present invention will be described based on the drawings.
FIG. 1 shows the configuration of the folding hanger of this embodiment, and FIGS. 2 and 3 show the folded state of the hanger.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the folding hanger (hereinafter simply referred to as a hanger) of the present embodiment includes a main body 1 in which a hook portion 2 and a plurality of hanger portions 4 are suspended at equal intervals, The main body part 1 and the hanging part 3 that connects the hook part 2 are configured. The main body part 1, the hook part 2, the hanger part 4 and the like are made of a relatively strong synthetic resin material such as polypropylene. The hanger part 4 can be folded by the hinge mechanism 15.

  The hook portion 2 includes a hook 5 in which a clip 5a and a clip 5b are connected to each other by a pin 6 so that the opening faces each other, and a box-shaped base 8 to which the hook 5 is rotatably coupled. Composed. The spring 9 interposed in the hook 5 urges the clips 5a and 5b to be normally closed.

  The main body 1 is composed of an elongated plate member, and can be folded in two outwards by a hinge mechanism 10 provided at the longitudinal center thereof.

  The suspension part 3 is made of a stainless steel frame wire, and both ends 3a thereof are coupled to the connection parts of the main body part 1 and the holder 13 via the joint part 11, respectively.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the joint portion 11 includes a half-cylindrical holder 13 having a fitting groove 12, and an engaging protrusion 14 protruding from the longitudinal center of the fitting groove 12. Yes. The end portion 3a of the frame-shaped wire described above is fitted in the fitting groove 12 so as to be rotatable with respect to the groove direction, and the engagement protrusion 14 is connected to each connection portion (on the upper surface of the end portion of the body portion 1 and the base 8 side). 1), the suspension part 3 can be rotated in the vertical and horizontal directions (that is, in any direction) as shown by arrows A and B in FIG. Made.

  A projecting portion 17 (stopper 17) that protrudes from a portion of the body portion 1 that is close to the joint portion 11 so that the rotation range of the joint portion 11 is restricted by contacting the holder 13 is provided.

When the hanger configured as described above is folded, first, as shown in FIG. 2, the main body 1 is folded into two by the hinge mechanism 10. In addition, since both ends of the suspension part 3 are rotatable up and down with respect to the joint part 11 as shown by an arrow A in FIG. 1, an unreasonable force is not applied to the joint part 11 by this folding operation. The main body 1 can be smoothly folded in half.
At this time, the suspending portion 3 is in a state of being overlapped with the folded main body portion 1, and the hook portion 2 is located immediately above the main body portion 1 and is in an upright state. . Therefore, in this state, the bent portion of the main body portion 1 cannot be rotated so that the hook portion 2 is directed downward due to the obstacle.

Therefore, with the hook portion 2 standing up, as shown by an arrow C in FIG. 3, the suspension portion 3 is slightly rotated so that the base 8 of the hook portion 2 is slightly displaced laterally from directly above the main body portion 1. After that, the hook part 2 is rotated about 180 degrees so that the tip part is directed downward, and the hook 5 of the hook part 2 is then stored in the gap of the folded main body part 1. In addition, since each joint part 11 of both ends of the suspension part 3 is rotatable in the left-right direction with respect to each connection part (fitting hole 16) as shown by the arrow B in FIG. In this case, the hanger can be folded without applying an excessive force to each joint portion 11 or its connecting portion.
By doing so, not only the body portion 1 but also the hook portion 2 that has conventionally been in the way of folding can be folded together. If necessary, each hanger part 4 may be folded.

  Moreover, since the rotation range of the joint part 11 on the main body part 1 side is regulated by the stopper 17, the hanging part 3 does not inadvertently open outward after the hanger is folded, and a compact folded state is always maintained. Can hold. In this way, if the hanger can be folded compactly, the package at the time of sale can also be made compact, and it can be displayed in the store without taking up space, and it can be stored and stored when not in use at home etc. Is also convenient.

  Further, even when the hanger is shaken by wind or the like when the hanger is used, the joint portion 11 freely rotates in response to the irregular swing, so that the load applied to the joint portion 11 is greatly reduced and the hanger is suspended. Since the stainless steel wire excellent in weather resistance and mechanical strength is used for the part 3, the durability of the hanger is greatly improved.

The figure which shows the structure of the folding-type hanger which concerns on this invention. The figure which shows the state which folded the main-body part of the folding hanger similarly. The figure which shows the state which folded the main-body part and the hook part of the folding-type hanger equally. The structure of the joint part of a folding-type hanger is shown, (a) is a side view, (b) is a front view, (c) is a back view.
