Description

  The present invention relates to a hanging and aligning device that suspends and aligns products and clothes in stores and homes.

  A display fixture that displays products in a store is known as a hanging alignment device. This type of display fixture is generally composed of a square pipe-shaped first member (square bar) extending in the horizontal direction and a round bar-shaped second member (hook) extending perpendicularly to the first member. A commodity is hung on a hook for display (see Patent Document 1).

  However, as in Patent Document 1, when the base end portion of the hook is detachably held by the square bar, when the staff or the customer lifts the product at random, the base end portion of the hook May leave the corner bar, and all the remaining items may fall to the floor. In order to avoid such a situation, an invention is known in which the base end portion of the hook is lightly screwed and fixed to the square bar (see, for example, FIG. 4 of Patent Document 2).

  However, even if such a configuration is adopted, if the clerk forgets to tighten the screw, there is a problem of dropping similar to the case of Patent Document 1, and even if it is securely screwed, over time Since the screws are loosened, if an impact such as an earthquake is received in this state, the problem of dropping the product still occurs. Further, when it is desired to remove the hook from the square bar for goods movement, etc., it is necessary to loosen the screw and then tighten the screw, which is very complicated.

  In view of this, an invention considering such points has also been proposed (Patent Document 3). The invention described in Patent Document 3 includes an upper member in which a base end portion (base) of a hook is in contact with a square bar, a front member and a rear member, and a bending member that bends from a lower portion of the front member toward the square bar. The rear member forms a gap with respect to the corner bar, and the upper member and the bending member are formed with a gap for removing the base bar by inclining the base. Members are arranged.

Design Registration No. 1421685 JP 2004-225854 A JP 2006-246959 A

  However, the invention described in Patent Document 3 requires a gap formed by the front member or the rear member with respect to the square bar, and a gap formed by the upper member or the bent member with respect to the square bar. However, due to the structure, the left and right unevenness in the horizontal plane is large, and this poor sense of stability is a problem. For example, when a staff member or a customer lifts a target product at random, the hook becomes meaningless and this makes a bad impression on the customer.

  In addition, there is a problem that the shape of the base end portion (base) of the hook is complicated, and the size has to be increased to the extent that a gap with the square bar is required.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and has a hook base end portion that is reduced in size with a simple structure. It is an object of the present invention to provide a hanging and aligning device that does not have a risk that the hook is detached from the corner bar.

  In order to achieve the above object, a hanging alignment device according to the present invention includes a first member arranged in a horizontal direction, and a second member protruding from the first member and capable of hanging a necessary object. The second member is divided into a support base end portion that sandwiches the first member, a hanging portion that extends from the support base end portion and protrudes, and a movable portion that can be elastically moved, and the support base end portion Is configured to include an engaging portion formed so as to cover the upper surface and the side surface of the first member, and a connecting portion extending from the engaging portion, and the movable portion of the first member is in a steady state. An inner member having a base end abutted against the lower surface, an outer member having a connecting portion fixed to the distal end portion of the inner member, and elasticity for moving the inner member and the outer member constantly in response to an artificial operation. A through hole formed in the connecting portion is a part of the inner member and / or the outer member. The size of the outer member is not allowed to pass through all or part of the outer member, and when the movable part moves in response to an artificial operation, the contact state between the lower surface of the first member and the base end of the inner member is On the other hand, when the manual operation is released, the movable portion is elastically moved to the original state so that the contact state between the lower surface of the first member and the base end portion of the inner member is automatically recovered. It is configured.

  Since the present invention has a movable part that can be moved in a resilient manner, for example, even if the target product is lifted up in a casual manner, the second member does not become meaningless and the second member is detached from the first member. There is no risk of doing so.

  The elastic body is preferably a coil spring that is externally fitted to the inner member, and the base end portion of the inner member is configured to have a dimension and shape that prevents the elastic body from falling off. Moreover, it is preferable that the inner surface of the engaging portion of the second member is configured so that the entire inner surface thereof substantially contacts the outer surface of the first member.

  In the present invention, it is preferable that the single hanging portion extends from the support base end portion, or the pair of hanging portions extend from the support base end portion in the opposite direction.

  Further, the connecting portion of the outer member and the tip portion of the inner member are coupled by screwing of the screw thread and the screw groove, or the connecting portion of the outer member and the tip portion of the inner member are either or It is preferable that they are combined based on both pressure deformations.

  According to the present invention described above, since the support base end portion of the second member has a small and simple structure and has a movable portion that can be elastically moved, There is no meaning that the two members are not meaningless and the second member is not separated from the first member.
