Description

The present invention is suitable for clothes tops / bottoms, size, shoulder width, waist / hip size, three-dimensional shape / flat shape, and does not slip off, prevent shape loss, and hanger marks. It is a clothes hanger that can be used without wearing clothes, and can be widely used for hanging towels, shoes, bags and other accessories in addition to clothes, and is suitable for multiple purposes that can also be used for outdoor drying of laundry. About clothes hangers.

With conventional hangers, traces of the tip of the hanger's shoulders are attached to the clothes on the shoulders and the opening of the bottoms, and the inclination of the shoulders of the clothes and the three-dimensional shape of the waist to the hips do not match the hanger, causing the shape to collapse. Is awakening.

Therefore, Patent Document 1 proposes a hanger in which the hanging portion can be freely deformed by a coil, and in particular, the shoulder tip is configured to be easily deformed from the neck so that the hanger follows the sewn shape of the garment and does not lose its shape. There is.
However, in the above hanger, since the coil is exposed, unevenness marks may be left on the portion in contact with the coil depending on the material of clothing such as a soft material or a thin material. In particular, when it is used as a clothesline, the traces of unevenness are likely to be fixed by the time the clothes are dried, which limits the range of use of the hanger.
In addition, adjacent coil rings may bite the clothes and damage the clothes.

In Patent Document 2, since the core material is not installed, the strength is inferior, and although it is suitable for lightweight clothes such as thin knits and shirts, the weight of what is hung is limited. When a relatively heavy garment such as a long coat is hung, the resin pipe is unintentionally deformed due to the weight of the garment, and it is difficult to adjust the shape to a desired shape.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2008-0866212 Actual Kaihei 03-051065

The present invention eliminates the traces and shape loss of the hanger that are attached when clothes and the like are hung on the hanger, can be used outdoors as a clothesline, and can freely hang clothes accessories other than clothes. It provides a flexible clothing hanger.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems by comprising a metal wire, a soft resin, a cushioning space, a long coil body or bellows, smoothing the surface of the bending material with the resin, and forming a shoulder portion. I decided to solve it.

The dressing hanger according to claim 1 is composed of a hook, a pair of shoulder portions provided on both sides of the hook, and a support portion that supports the hook and is arranged between the pair of shoulder portions. The shoulder portion is composed of a bendable material that can be freely bent, and the bendable material has a plastically deformable metal wire rod layer, a resin layer, and a buffer empty portion. It is inserted inside the resin layer in the longitudinal direction, and the cushioning space is provided between the wire rod layer and the resin layer.

The dressing hanger according to claim 2 is the dressing hanger according to claim 1, wherein the dressing hanger has a bending material and a coil body, and the coil body is covered with a resin layer. The layer is inserted inside the coil body in the longitudinal direction, and the shoulder portion is formed of a bending material provided with the cushioning space inside the coil body.

The clothing hanger according to claim 3 is the clothing hanger according to claim 2, wherein the coil body is replaced with a bellows.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, by bending the shoulders, the tops and bottoms of the clothes, the size, the width of the shoulders, the size of the waist and hips, the three-dimensional shape caused by the difference between the waist and the hips, etc. It fits any shape and can prevent hanger marks and shape loss.
Further, since the wire rod layer is covered with a resin layer, the shoulder portion has a tubular shape and a thick shape, which makes it difficult for hanger marks to be attached to slacks, stalls, etc. that are folded and hung according to the center press wire.
Since a buffer gap is provided between the wire layer and the resin layer, even if the wire is bent to cause undulations (distorted shape), the shape of the wire will be on the surface of the bend. It becomes difficult to appear. Therefore, the smooth shape of the surface of the resin layer is maintained, and it is possible to prevent hanger marks and loss of shape on all clothes including clothes made of soft materials and thin materials, clothing accessories, and laundry.
Further, the buffer empty portion can suppress the concentration of the force when bending the bent material at one point, and can suppress the disconnection of the wire due to repeated bending.
Since the outer layer of the bending material is a resin layer, the wire material layer can be protected from rain, direct sunlight, etc., so that it can be adapted to intense heat and cold regions and can be used for drying laundry. In addition, the resin layer prevents hanging items such as clothes from slipping off.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, even when the diameter of the wire rod is made smaller or the number of wire rods is reduced, the spiral shape of the coil body supports the resin layer, so that it can withstand the weight of the clothing. While ensuring the strength, the tubular shape can be maintained in the cross-sectional view in the direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the bent material, and the cushioning space can be more reliably secured between the bent material and the wire layer. Further, since the coil body itself is easily bent between adjacent rings (spirals), the bending material can be bent with a smaller force.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, as in the case of the coil body, the tubular shape is maintained in the cross-sectional view in the direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the bending material while ensuring the strength that can be withstood by the weight of the clothing. However, a buffering space can be more reliably secured between the wire and the wire layer. Further, the shape in which the peaks and valleys of the bellows are continuous makes it possible to ensure the ease of bending of the bending material. On the other hand, since there is no space between adjacent rings such as a coil body, even if the wire rod layer is wavy, its shape is less likely to appear on the surface of the bent material. Further, even if moisture such as rain permeates into the inside through the resin layer, the bellows can prevent the moisture from reaching the wire rod layer and adhering to the wire layer, so that the weather resistance is improved. Then, for example, when the metal coil body is replaced with a plastic bellows, the manufacturing cost and weight can be suppressed.

(Overview of the clothing hanger of the present invention)
The present invention is a clothes hanger that eliminates the shape loss that occurs when clothes and the like are hung on a hanger, can be used outdoors as a clothesline, and can freely hang clothes accessories other than clothes.

(Example 1)
As shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, the clothing hanger of the first embodiment has a support portion 6 having a hook 7 and a pair of shoulder portions 1 provided on both sides of the support portion. At least the shoulder portion 1 is made of the bending member 9. Details of the bending member 9 will be described later.
The support portion 6 is a tubular member formed of a hard metal such as stainless steel or aluminum, and a bending member 9 is inserted therein. A hook 7 is provided at the center of the support portion 6 in the longitudinal direction. The hook 7 is a portion to be locked to a pipe or the like, and may be rotatably attached to the support portion 6 or may be integrally fixed to the support portion 6.
The bending member 9 has, in order from the inside to the outside, a wire rod layer 2 composed of at least one plastically deformable metal wire rod, a buffer empty portion 4, and a soft resin layer 5. In this embodiment, an example in which the wire rod layer 2 is composed of two wire rods is shown, but the wire rod layer 2 may be composed of one or three or more wire rods.
Further, the bending member 9 is made of a rod-shaped member having a cross-sectional diameter of about several cm and a total length of about several tens of cm to 1 m, and is formed in advance in a shape as a clothing hanger.
Specifically, the bending members 9 extending from both sides of the support portion 6 are on the opposite side to the side on which the hook 7 is provided (lower side when the side on which the hook 7 is provided is on the upper side). Hereinafter, the same applies.), A portion corresponding to the collar of the garment (hereinafter, referred to as “collar portion 10”) is formed by inclining downward. The portion corresponding to the shoulder of the garment, which is ahead of the collar portion 10, is the shoulder portion 1, and in this embodiment, the inclination angle of the shoulder portion 1 is set to be gentler than the inclination angle of the collar portion 10. ..

As shown in FIG. 1B, the bending member 9 is curved so as to be inverted at the shoulder tip, and the tips on both sides face each other. Such a shape is the basic shape of the clothes hanger of this embodiment. Since the clothes hanger in this embodiment has the collar portion 10, the collar portion 10 can be quickly positioned inside the collar of the clothes when the clothes are hung, and the clothes can be misaligned. It is possible to suppress the dropout. In this embodiment, the configuration in which the inclination angle of the collar portion 10 and the inclination angle of the shoulder portion 1 are different is presented, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the bending member 9 extending from the support portion 6 generally extends to the shoulder tip. It is also possible to adopt a configuration that inclines at a constant inclination angle.
That is, the collar portion 10 may not be provided, and the portion from the support portion 6 to the shoulder tip may be the shoulder portion 1. In short, any shape may be used as long as it can function as a clothes hanger.
Further, the bending material 9 is configured so that the user can freely bend it by applying a force by hand to deform it into a desired shape. The wire rod of the wire rod layer 2 is made of a metal that can be plastically deformed, and as shown in FIGS. 1A and 1C, a buffer empty portion 4 is provided around the wire rod layer 2.
The buffer empty portion 4 includes the outer diameter of the wire rod layer 2 (when the wire rod layer 2 is composed of a plurality of wire rods, the outer diameter of a virtual circumscribed circle including each wire rod layer 2) and the inner diameter of the resin layer 5. It is a space formed by the difference between. That is, the buffer empty portion 4 is a space having a diameter larger than the outer diameter of the wire rod layer 2 (or the outer diameter of the circumscribed circle). In the buffer empty portion 4, the wire rod layer 2 is located at the center of the bent member 9 in a cross-sectional view, that is, the center of the wire rod layer 2 (when the wire rod layer 2 is composed of a plurality of wire rods, the above It is configured as a layer of about several mm between the wire rod layer 2 and the resin layer 5 when it is assumed that the center of the circumscribed circle) and the center of the cross section of the bent member 9 coincide with each other.

The periphery of the buffer air gap 4 is entirely covered with a resin layer 5, and is configured so that the wire rod layer 2 and the buffer air gap 4 are not exposed to the outside. That is, it can be said that the inner diameter of the resin layer 5 is the diameter of the buffer empty portion 4. However, regarding the buffer air portion 4, the thickness is not actually constant, and there may be a portion that is in contact with each other depending on the location.
The resin layer 5 is made of a synthetic resin having higher weather resistance than the wire rod layer 2 and the like, for example, a polyurethane resin and a silicone resin.
Further, up to the collar portion 10 may be composed of a metal support portion 6. By doing so, the shape of the collar portion 10 is maintained even if the bending material is deformed, and the deformation of the collar portion 10 is suppressed by the weight of the garment, so that the shape of the garment is suppressed. it can.

(Example 2)
As shown in FIGS. 2A and 2C, in the clothing hanger of the second embodiment, the coil body 3 is provided between the wire rod layer 2 and the resin layer 5 in the clothing hanger of the first embodiment. It is characterized by the above points. The outer diameter of the coil body 3 is smaller than the inner diameter of the resin layer 5, and the inner diameter of the coil body 3 is larger than the outer diameter of the wire rod layer 2 (or the outer diameter of the circumscribed circle). As a result, the buffer empty portion 4 is formed between the wire rod layer 2 and the coil body 3.
By adopting such a configuration, even if the diameter of the wire rod of the wire rod layer 2 is made smaller or the number of wire rods is reduced, the spiral shape of the coil body 3 supports the resin layer 5, so that the clothing is dressed. While ensuring the strength that can be withstood by the weight of the bending member 9, the tubular shape is maintained in the cross-sectional view in the direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the bending member 9, and the cushioning space 4 is more reliably secured between the bending member 9 and the wire layer 2. be able to. Further, since the coil body 3 itself is easily bent between adjacent rings (spirals), the bending member 9 can be bent with a smaller force.
The wire rod of the wire rod layer 2 is inserted inward in the longitudinal direction from the opening at one end to the opening at the other end of the long coil body 3. The coil body 3 is a coiled (spiral) wire rod made of metal or resin. The inside of the coil body 3 is a buffer empty portion 4.
Further, the coil body 3 in which the wire rod layer 2 is inserted is entirely covered with the resin layer 5 so as not to be exposed to the outside.

FIG. 2B is a diagram showing a modified example of the clothing hanger of the second embodiment. This modification is characterized in that a bellows 8 is provided between the wire rod layer 2 and the resin layer 5 instead of the coil body 3. Similar to the second embodiment, in this modified example, the buffer empty portion 4 is formed between the wire rod layer 2 and the bellows 8.
As in the case of the coil body 3, while ensuring the strength that can be withstood by the weight of the clothing, the tubular shape is maintained in the cross-sectional view in the direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the bending member 9, and is between the bending member 9 and the wire layer 2. The buffer empty portion 4 can be secured more reliably. Further, the shape in which the peaks and valleys of the bellows 8 are continuous makes it possible to ensure the ease of bending of the bending member 9. On the other hand, since there is no space between adjacent rings such as the coil body 3, even if the wire rod layer 2 is wavy, its shape is less likely to appear on the surface of the bent member 9. Further, even if moisture such as rain permeates into the inside through the resin layer 5, the bellows 8 can prevent the moisture from reaching and adhering to the wire rod layer 2, so that the weather resistance is improved. Then, for example, when the metal coil body 3 is replaced with the plastic bellows 8, the manufacturing cost and weight can be suppressed.

(Example 3)
FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of a clothing hanger according to a third embodiment. This embodiment is different from the above-described Examples 1 and 2 in that the shoulder portions 1 on both sides are seamlessly and continuously formed in an annular shape at the tip of the shoulder inverted portion. That is, both ends of the bending member 9 are arranged inside the support portion 6, and the annularly connected portions of the shoulder portion 1 are arranged inside the support portion 6 so that the appearance is seamless and smooth. It is configured in.
Further, by forming the shoulder portion 1 in an annular shape, the force that the shoulder portion 1 tends to deform downward due to the weight of clothes or the like can be suppressed as compared with the case of the first embodiment, and the shoulder portion 1 is more stable to withstand the weight. be able to.

According to the above configuration, by freely bending the shoulder portion 1 as described in the following usage example, the tops and bottoms of clothes, the size, the width of the shoulders, the size of the waist and hips, and the difference between the waist and hips. It can be adapted to clothes of any shape such as three-dimensional shape caused by such as, hanger marks are less likely to be left, and it can be used while suppressing shape loss. Further, since the wire rod layer 2 is covered with the resin layer 5, the shoulder portion 1 has a tubular shape and a thick shape, which makes it difficult for hanger marks to be attached to slacks, stalls, etc. that are folded and hung according to the center press wire. ..
Since the buffer empty portion 4 is provided between the wire rod layer 2 and the resin layer 5, even if the wire rod has a swell (distorted shape) due to bending of the bending material 9, the shape of the wire rod is bent. It is less likely to appear on the surface of the material 9. Therefore, the smooth shape of the surface of the resin layer 5 is maintained, and it is possible to prevent hanger marks from being left on all clothes including clothes made of soft materials and thin materials, clothing accessories, and laundry, and to prevent the resin layer 5 from losing its shape. ..
Further, the buffer empty portion 4 can prevent the force when bending the bending member 9 from being concentrated at one point, and can suppress the disconnection of the wire due to repeated bending.
Since the outer layer of the bending material 9 is the resin layer 5, the wire material layer 2 can be protected from rain, direct sunlight, and the like, so that it can be adapted to intense heat and cold regions and can be used for drying laundry. In addition, the resin layer 5 prevents hanging items such as clothes from slipping off.
According to the configuration of the second embodiment, even when the diameter of the wire rod is made smaller or the number of wire rods is reduced, the spiral shape of the coil body 3 supports the resin layer 5, so that it can withstand the weight of the clothing. While ensuring the strength, the tubular shape can be maintained in the cross-sectional view in the direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the bent member 9, and the buffer space 4 can be more reliably secured between the bent member 9 and the wire layer 2. Further, since the coil body 3 itself is easily bent between adjacent rings (spirals), the bending member 9 can be bent with a smaller force.
According to the configuration of the modified example of the second embodiment, as in the case of the coil body 3, the bending member 9 is tubular in a cross-sectional view in the direction intersecting the longitudinal direction while ensuring the strength that can be withstood by the weight of the clothing. The shape can be maintained, and the buffer space 4 can be more reliably secured between the wire rod layer 2 and the wire rod layer 2. Further, the shape in which the peaks and valleys of the bellows 8 are continuous makes it possible to ensure the ease of bending of the bending member 9. On the other hand, since there is no space between adjacent rings such as the coil body 3, even if the wire rod layer 2 is wavy, its shape is less likely to appear on the surface of the bent member 9. Further, even if moisture such as rain permeates into the inside through the resin layer 5, the bellows 8 can prevent the moisture from reaching and adhering to the wire rod layer 2, so that the weather resistance is improved. Then, for example, when the metal coil body 3 is replaced with the plastic bellows 8, the manufacturing cost and weight can be suppressed.
In addition, it can be used for various purposes because it can be adapted to accessories such as bags and shoes. It can be used for outdoor laundry drying of clothes and accessories, and can also be used for various purposes such as storage and display.
