The rotational movement of the hook 20 can be transmitted to the rotary damper 40 by the gear 42 and the rack 56 meshing with each other.

Further, when the hanger hook 10 is in an unused state (accommodated state) with the hook 20 upright, the tip 21 of the hook 20 extends further upward from the upper end of the case 2. Thereby, when the hook 20 is rotated by hooking the finger on the tip 21 of the hook 20 during use, the finger tip does not hit the case 2, resulting in excellent operability. In addition, when the hanger hook 10 is viewed from the front, the entire front surface of the case 2 is covered with the hook 20, so the level difference between the tip of the hook 20 and the case 2 is not exposed, creating a smooth appearance. It can give a clean impression.

The hook 20 has a distal end 21, a proximal end 22, a base portion 23, and both side wall portions 24 that stand up and extend rearward from the base portion 23. A rib 25 extending in the longitudinal direction of the hook 20 is formed at the center portion of the rear surface of the base portion 23 in the transverse direction X. Further, below the rib 25, a leg portion 26 that projects rearward is located. The leg portion 26 has a generally triangular cross section that protrudes rearward as it goes downward, and a through hole 27 through which a pin passes is located at the base end of the lower end portion, and a through hole 27 through which the pin passes is located at the tip of the lower end portion in the housed state. A locking portion 28 is located that comes into contact with the slider 50. Approximately triangular recesses 27a are formed on both sides of the locking portion 28.

The hook 20 further includes a protrusion 29 that protrudes rearward on the distal end 21 side of both side wall portions 24 . The protrusion 29 has a convex curved shape and is located opposite to the tip of the case 2 in the transverse direction X.

Case 2 includes a case body 60 and a blanket 70. The case body 60 has a curved upper end 61 and a lower end 62 that is thicker than the upper end 61. A through hole 63 through which the fixing bolt 6 passes is located on the upper end 61 side, and a front surface on the lower end 62 side. A groove 64 extending in the longitudinal direction Y is located therein. An insertion hole 65 through which the leg portion of the hook 20 is inserted is located in the groove 64 . A through hole 66 into which the pin 11 for connecting the hook 20 and the case body 60 is inserted is located in the pair of lower wall portions forming the groove 64 .

The case body 60 further includes a rear protrusion 80 that extends rearward in a stepped manner. The rear raised portion 80 includes a through hole 63, a centrally located arrangement recess 81 for arranging the rotary damper 40, and a guide protrusion 82 located below the arrangement recess 81 and further protrudes from the rear raised portion 80. It has a pair of support plates 83 located further below the guide protrusion 82 and facing each other in the transverse direction X. A flange 88 is formed on the outer periphery of the rear raised portion 80 .

The rotary damper 40 includes a damper rotation axis P, a disc-shaped main body 41, a gear 42 located on the rear surface of the main body 41, and a locking hole 43 located in an extending portion extending upward from the main body 41. The engagement recess 44 is located at a portion extending downward from the main body 41.

The arrangement recess 81 of the case body 60 has an upwardly convex shape, and a locking protrusion 84 into which the locking hole 43 of the rotary damper 40 is locked is located in the upper portion. The guide protrusion 82 has a shape bent downward into a U-shaped cross section, and includes an upright portion (stopper) 82a extending from the rear raised portion 80 and a locking piece 82b extending downward from the upright portion 82a. have Further, on the upper surface side of the upright portion 82a of the guide protrusion 82, an engagement protrusion 86 with which the engagement recess 44 of the rotary damper 40 is engaged is located.

Blanket 70 includes upper and lower ends, a bottom portion 71 , and an outer peripheral wall portion 72 that projects from bottom portion 71 toward case body 60 . An engagement hole 73 having a spiral groove on the inner peripheral surface into which the fixing bolt 6 is screwed is located on the upper end side of the bottom part 71, and an engagement hole 73 having a spiral groove into which the fixing bolt 6 is screwed is located on the lower end side of the bottom part 71. A lower opening 74 through which the pair of support plates 83 are exposed, and a substantially rectangular through hole 75 through which the guide protrusion 82 is exposed are located.

The slider 50 has a vertically long rectangular frame shape, and includes an upper wall 51, a lower wall 52, both side walls 53, an upper opening defined between the upper wall 51 and both side walls 53, and a lower wall 52. and a lower opening defined between the side walls 53 and the side walls 53. The front surfaces of both side walls 53 have a step, and the lower portion protrudes forward than the upper portion, and the upper portion of the front surface of the side wall has a plurality of teeth arranged in the vertical direction Y. A rack 56 is located there. A spring 8 is arranged in the lower opening. The spring 8 can be stably arranged in a state where the lower portions of the side walls 53 and the lower wall 52 are in contact with each other.

To assemble the hanger hook 10 from a disassembled state, first, the locking hole 43 of the rotary damper 40 is locked to the locking protrusion 84 of the arrangement recess 81, and the engaging recess 44 is connected to the engaging protrusion of the guide protrusion 82. The rotary damper 40 is stably placed in the placement recess 81 while being engaged with the portion 86. Next, the locking piece 82b of the guide protrusion 82 is inserted into the upper opening of the slider 50 in which the spring 8 is interposed. The upper opening has a shape that follows the guide protrusion 82, and the engaging convex portion 86 of the guide protrusion 82 comes into contact with the central convex curved portion 51a, so that the slider can be moved even when the operator releases his/her hand. 50 will not fall off from the case body 60.

Next, the operator grasps the upper side of the slider 50 with one hand and pulls it up, so that the slider 50 is moved upward while the lower portions of both side walls 53 of the slider 50 and the locking pieces 82b are in sliding contact. Moving. At this time, the upper end 8a of the spring 8 interposed in the slider 50 comes into contact with the upright portion 82a of the guide protrusion 82. In this state, the hook 20 is directed from the front side of the case body 60 and the locking part 28 of the leg part 26 is inserted through the groove 64 into a part of the insertion hole 65 located below the lower end of the slider 50. As a result, the locking portion 28 comes into contact with the lower end of the slider 50. As a result, the spring 8 is elastically loaded between the lower wall 52 and the upright portion 82a, and the hook 20 is always biased in the upright direction.

Next, the case body 60 and the hook 20 can be connected to each other by passing the pin 11 through the through hole 66 of the case body 60 and the through hole 27 of the hook 20, which communicate with each other in the transverse direction X. Furthermore, with the hook 20 laid down against the bias of the spring, the blanket 70 is placed on the rear surface of the case body 60, and the through hole 66 of the case body 60 and the blanket 70 communicate with each other in the front-rear direction Z. The blanket 70 is coupled by inserting the fixing bolt 6 into the engagement hole 73 and screwing it into the helical groove of the engagement hole 73 using a fastener such as a screwdriver.

In this way, no tools are required other than the process of fastening the fixing bolts 6, and the assembly operation can be performed relatively easily. Furthermore, when disassembling, all you have to do is remove the fixing bolts 6 and pins 11 and remove the rotating damper 40 and slider 50 from the case body 60. You can perform a replacement operation.

As shown in FIGS. 5(a) and 5(b), when attaching the hanger hook 10, a clearance CL is formed between the flange 88 of the case body 60 and the blanket 70 without completely tightening the fixing bolt 6. In this state, the hanger hook 10 is inserted into the mounting hole 4 of the wall plate 3 from the front with the hanger hook 10 slightly tilted down. At that time, the wall plate 3 is interposed in the clearance CL, and the hanger hook 10 is made to stand upright. Specifically, if the upper part of the opening edge of the mounting hole 4 is interposed in the clearance CL and raised, the lower part of the opening edge of the mounting hole 4 is also interposed between the case body 60 and the blanket 70. be in a state of being In this state, by tightening the fixing bolts 6 with the fasteners 9, the case body 60 and the blanket 70 approach each other, the clearance CL becomes smaller, and the wall plate 3 is pressed between them, and the hanger hook 10 is stably attached to the wall plate 3 (see FIG. 2).

In this way, the hanger hook 10 can be attached to the wall plate 3 from the front in the assembled state, and there is no need to operate the fastener 9 from the rear of the wall plate 3. Installation can be done only by operating from the side. Therefore, there is no need to attach components from the rear side of the wall board 3, so even if the installation operation cannot be performed from the rear side after the wall board 3 has been constructed, the hanger hook 10 can be installed. can be easily done.

Referring to FIG. 6, in the attached state of the hanger hook 10, the pair of protrusions 29 of the hook 20 are in contact with the wall plate 3. As described above, since the side wall portions 24 of the hook 20 come into contact with the wall plate 3 at the pair of protrusions 29, the hook 20 can maintain a stable upright state even when receiving an external impact. can.

Furthermore, as mentioned above, the tip 21 of the hook 20 extends upward from the case 2, making it easy to catch the fingertip. It can be said that the distance between the main body 60 and the upper end 61 is relatively large, making it easier to insert the fingertip. Moreover, since the front surface 61a of the upper end 61 of the case body 60 is an inclined surface that gradually extends backward from the bottom to the top, the tip 21 of the hook 20 and the case body It can be said that by increasing the distance between the upper end 61 of the 60 and the upper end 61, it becomes easier to insert the fingertip.

As described above, the strength of the hook 20 is increased by providing the rib 25 on the rear surface of the base portion 23 of the hook 20, and the rib 25 also extends to the tip 21 of the hook 20 extending from the case body 60. Since the rear surface of the tip of the hook 20 is smooth, it can be said that the operator's fingertip is less likely to slip and the fingertip can be stably hooked.

Referring to FIGS. 7 to 10, the operation of the opening/closing mechanism of the hook 20 from the unused state to the used state of the hanger hook 10 will be explained. First, in the unused state, the hook 20 is moved to the case body by the biasing force of the spring 8. It is in a standing state facing 60. The rack 56 of the slider 50 is engaged with the gear 42 of the rotary damper 40. In this state, when hanging clothing such as a coat on the hook 20, the operator lowers the hook 20 in the direction of arrow A (forward), so that the locking portion 28 of the leg portion 26 of the hook 20 locks the slider 50. When pushed up, the slider 50 moves upward and the rotary damper 40 connected thereto rotates. After the operator hangs clothes on the hook 20, the spring 8 is compressed by its own weight, and its upper end 8a comes into contact with the upright portion 82a of the guide protrusion 82, thereby restricting the upward movement of the slider 50. .

After use, when the clothes are removed from the hook 20, the spring 8 is released from the compressed state, and the slider 50 moves downward relatively slowly while rotating the rotary damper 40 due to its bias. As the slider 50 moves downward, the locking part 28 of the leg part 26 of the hook 20 is pushed down, and the hook 20 moves in the direction of arrow B and becomes in an upright state. Although not shown, by engaging the side walls 53 of the slider 50 with the recesses 27a of the legs 26 of the hook 20, force can be reliably transmitted.

By using a rotary damper 40 in the turning mechanism of the hook 20, the turning speed of the hook 20 is slowed down and the protrusion 29 located at the tip 21 of the hook 20 is prevented from strongly colliding with the wall board 3 when standing up. I can do it. Moreover, since the hook 20 rotates relatively slowly in the direction of the arrow B, clothes can be hung on the hook 20 in the laid down state even when the operator has released the hook 20.

As is clear from the illustrated embodiment, the rotary damper 40 is disposed in the arrangement recess 81 of the case body 60, and the rotation axis P of the rotary damper 40 extends in the front-rear direction Z. In the case of a conventional arrangement in which the rotary shaft of the rotary damper 40 extends in the transverse direction, the longitudinal dimension (thickness dimension) of the case itself needs to be at least larger than the diameter of the rotary damper 40. Therefore, it is relatively thick. In the present invention, unlike the arrangement of conventional rotary dampers, the rotation axis P thereof extends in the front-rear direction Z, so that the case 2 (case main body 60) can be made relatively thin. The hanger hook 10 can be made smart and compact as a whole.

Each component of the hanger hook 10 can be formed from a conventionally known material, but except for the rotary damper 40, it is preferably formed from a metal such as stainless steel, iron, copper, or aluminum. In particular, by forming the hook 20 from stainless steel and applying a mirror finish to the base portion 23 of the hook 20, it is possible to give a sharp impression when viewed from the front.
