Description

  The present invention relates to a hanger, and more particularly to a hanger that is foldable and used when finishing clothes such as shirts in a cleaning factory or apparel industry.

Conventionally, as a folding-type hanger, there exists a thing described in patent document 1, for example.
In this conventional product, the base ends of a pair of left and right rod-shaped members are connected to each other by a hinge so that the rod-shaped member can be folded on a horizontal plane around the longitudinal axis of the hinge.

Therefore, this conventional product can fold the rod-shaped material, and according to this, there is an advantage that it is easy to insert the rod-shaped material from the collar of the clothes.
Further, in the case of this conventional product, the length can be shortened by folding it in half, so that it is convenient to carry and store.

  By the way, for example, when a cleaning company finishes clothes such as shirts as laundry, before finishing with a press device, the clothes are hung on a hanger and put into an automatic spraying device, and the fabric is pre-moistened to easily remove wrinkles. There are things to do.

  In this type of work, the conventional product can only fold the rod-shaped material in half, so according to the conventional product, for example, the area around the neck hidden by the collar and the back side of the collar itself can be sufficiently steamed. As a result, there was a problem that wrinkles were likely to remain in this type of part.

  Conventionally, when an operator lifts a collar with fingers and sprays steam on this kind of portion by hand, the steam may hit the fingers and burn.

Further, in the conventional product, the rod-shaped material is usually only formed to a length capable of supporting the shoulder width of the clothes (the width of the shoulder portion of the clothes).
Therefore, when using conventional products to put clothes into the automatic spraying device, steam was sprayed with the sleeves of the clothes hanging down, so according to conventional products, the sleeves of the clothes could not be uniformly moistened with steam, As a result, there was a problem that the sleeve could not be finished beautifully.

In the case of the present invention, the opening angle of the arm 1, in other words, the protruding dimension (height) of the stopper 10 may be appropriately selected depending on the size of the opening around the neck of the clothes 5.

In the present invention, the pair of left and right arms are formed so as to be foldable into two.
Therefore, according to this, the arm can be quickly and easily passed through the sleeve of the garment, and the suspending operation of the garment can be simplified and expedited accordingly.

Further, according to the present invention, a collar presser for fixing the collar in an upright shape is provided in the central portion.
Therefore, according to this, it is possible to reliably spray steam on a portion around the neck which is hidden by the collar or on the back side of the collar itself.

The present invention also eliminates the task of lifting the collar with fingers and manually spraying steam onto this type of garment.
Therefore, according to this, the operator does not burn the fingers due to the steam.

According to the present invention, the pair of left and right arms are formed of a portion that supports the shoulder width of the garment and a sleeve support portion that is continuous downwardly from this portion.
Therefore, in the case of the present invention, the sleeves of the clothes can be arranged obliquely to the side of the body, and according to this, it is possible to spray the steam evenly and reliably on the sleeves.

  Therefore, if the product of the present invention is used to put into an automatic spraying device before finishing clothes such as shirts with a press finishing device equipped with a human body, for example, steam and finish can be uniformly distributed over the clothing. Moreover, it can be sprayed reliably, and the clothes can be cleaned cleanly.
