  As shown in FIGS. 4, 5, and 6, in the present embodiment, the hanger body 12 is provided with a stopper portion 38 that regulates the sliding movement range of the hook body 26. For example, the stopper portion 38 includes a protruding portion that is integrally fixed to an end portion into which the inner flange member 24 of the other bent rod 20 of each outer pipe 22 is inserted, and the slide sleeve portion 28 of the hook body 26. The hook body 26 is prevented from being detached from the outer pipe 22 at the end. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the stopper portion 38 is a stopper for the two outer pipes 22 when the bending rod 20 is advanced and retracted in the separation direction and the linear portion 18 is extended in the longitudinal direction. The portion 38 and the slide sleeve portion 28 are locked, and the further bending rod 20 is prevented from moving in the retracting direction. Thereby, it functions also as separation of the curved saddles 20, that is, as prevention of detachment of the interior saddle member 24 from the inside of the outer pipe 22.

  Next, the operation of the hanger device 10 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9. When the garment 102 such as a T-shirt is hung on the hanger device 10 according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, first, the support portion 14 is slid along the longitudinal direction of the hanger body 12 to support the support portion. The connection position of 14 is set on one end side in the longitudinal direction of the hanger body, for example, on the left end side. The hanger body 12 is inserted into the garment 102 through the neck opening 104 from the right end side, which is the end portion separated from the support portion 14, and then the other left end portion is inserted. At this time, since the length of the support portion 14 and the left end portion inserted into the garment after the hanger body 12 is relatively short, the neck portion opening can be inserted smoothly with little or no extension. Therefore, it is possible to satisfactorily prevent the stretch and shape deformation around the neck opening 104 of the garment 102. After the hanger body 12 is inserted into the garment 102, the support part 14 is slid to the center position of the hanger body 12 as shown in FIG. Support the shoulder. In this way, clothes such as T-shirts can be smoothly hung on the hanger device. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the length of the hanger body 12 can be expanded and contracted by moving the folding rods 20 forward and backward as necessary, and the size of the clothes for children to adults can be increased with one hanger device. It is possible to support a wide range of clothes of different sizes. On the other hand, when the hanger device 10 is detached from the garment 102, the support portion 14 is similarly slid to be connected to the end position of the hanger body 12, so that the neck opening 104 is not stretched smoothly. Can be removed. Of course, the hanger device 10 according to the present embodiment can also be used for hanging clothes such as shirts, coats, Japanese clothes, and yukata.

In the present embodiment, the outer pipe 22a and the inner collar member 24a of the bent collar 20a are provided in a substantially I-shaped longitudinal section. Therefore, for example, when a torsional force acting to twist in opposite directions is applied to both end sides of the two bent scissors 20a assembled, the outer pipe 22a and the interior scissor member 24a rotate around the longitudinal axis. In other words, the two straight portions 18 constituting them are prevented from being twisted and kept parallel to each other. That is, in the present embodiment, the anti-rotation structure 40 that prevents the rotation around the longitudinal axis is realized by the vertical cross-sectional shape of the interior collar member 24a that is inserted into the outer pipe 22a. Therefore, the linear extension and contraction of the length of the hanger body 12 in the longitudinal direction and the movement of the hook body 26 relative to the outer pipe 22a can always be maintained in a stable and smooth state. In addition, the vertical cross-sectional shape of the bending rod 20a is, for example, a triangular shape, a quadrangular shape, other polygonal shapes, rounded corners of those polygons, or a T-shaped, H-shaped or other irregular shape. It may be an arbitrary shape whose surface shape is non-circular.

  The hanger device of the present invention described above is not limited to the configuration of only the above-described embodiment, and may be arbitrarily modified without departing from the essence of the present invention described in the claims. .
