[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hanging device useful for hanging a clothes hanger or the like on a dwelling house or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When drying laundry or the like indoors using a clothes hanger, a hook portion of the hanger is hung on an end of a Kamoi. However, the hanging stability of the hook with the end of the Kamoi is small, so that the hanger tends to fall off frequently. In particular, when a sliding door, a sliding door, a sliding door, or the like is moved along the groove of the Kamoi, the hanger comes off easily due to contact.

In order to prevent the hanger from falling off, a hook having a hook is attached to the side of the dwelling of the dwelling using an adhesive or a screw, and the hook of the hanger is hung on the hook. It is also possible to do. However, since the hook is fixed, the mounting position of the hook cannot be freely changed. In addition, when the mounting position of the hook is changed, the adhesive and the screw hole remain on the side of the gate, which impairs the appearance.

Further, a pair of holding pieces rotatable about a shaft, a spring for urging one end of the holding piece in a closing direction, and a hook attached to an end of the one holding piece. Washing scissors composed of a part and the like are also known. However, when the convex portion of the gate is held by the washing scissors and the hanger is hung on the hook portion, the load of the hanger and the laundry is applied to one of the holding pieces. For this reason, a moment for tilting the hanging tool acts on the Kamoi, and the hanging tool easily falls off the Kamoi. Further, such washing scissors cannot hang many hangers at once.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a latch which can be easily and reliably attached to a dram and the like, and can be prevented from falling off from the dram and the like.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a latch which can prevent a moment of tilting the latch against a duck or the like and can stably lock a hanger or the like for a long period of time. .

It is still another object of the present invention to provide a hook which can stably hold a plurality of hangers at once.

[0008]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides (1) a pair of holding pieces rotatable around a shaft and a direction in which one end of each of these holding pieces is closed. Biasing means for biasing, extending from both sides of the shaft,

At least one of the at least two holding tools may be provided with a locking member which is capable of moving back and forth on the release side of at least one holding piece. Preferably, the connecting means is provided with at least one hook means.

[0010] The connecting means may be U-shaped, and both ends of the connecting means may be rotatably attached to a ring portion. Further, the connecting means may be constituted by a rotating member rotatably attached to the ring portion, and a connecting rod attached to the rotating member. In this case, the rotating member may include the hook piece, and the connecting rod may be attached to be rotatable around the axis of the rotating member.

[0011] In this hook, it is preferable that the connecting means is formed to be extendable and contractible.

[0012]

According to the hook having the above construction, one end of the pair of holding pieces rotatable about the shaft can be closed by the urging force of the urging means. For this reason, the stopper can be attached by clamping a convex portion formed on the lower surface of the headgate by the closed side of the pair of clamping pieces.

[0013] Further, since the holding member has a ring portion rotatable at least outside the opening side of the holding piece, when a hanger or the like is hooked on the connecting means connected to the ring portion, The direction of load by a hanger or the like and the direction in which the ring portion hangs can be matched. for that reason,
It is possible to prevent a moment in the direction in which the hook is tilted with respect to the gate from acting on the hook.

Further, since the connecting means is connected to the ring portions of the plurality of holding tools, a large number of hooks for holding the hanger or the like can be secured on the connecting means, and a large load can be provided by the plurality of holding tools. Can also withstand.

[0015] With the latch having a non-slip means on the inner surface on the closed side of the pair of gripping pieces, it is possible to further prevent falling off from the gripping portion such as a convex portion at the lower part of the gate.

[0016] In a latch having a locking member capable of moving back and forth laterally on a release side of at least one of the holding pieces of at least two holding tools, the locking member is attached to an end such as a gate. It can also be locked.

Further, in the case of a hook having hook means provided on the connecting means, a hanger or the like can be hooked on the hook means.

In the case where both ends of the U-shaped connecting means are rotatably mounted on the ring portion, or the connecting means is provided with a rotating member rotatably mounted on the ring portion. In the case where the connecting means is constituted by a connecting rod attached to the turning member, the connecting means can be turned around an axis orthogonal to the axis of the shaft. For this reason, even if the extending directions of the convex portions such as the gates clamped by a plurality of clamps are different from each other, such as a corner of a room, the plurality of clamps are connected to the end of the connecting means. By rotating the holding member with respect to each other and holding the holding portion sequentially or simultaneously, the hook can be attached. Further, since the connecting means is rotatable with respect to the ring portion, even when a force for rotating the connecting means acts, it is possible to prevent a moment of tilting the holding tool from acting on the holding tool.

Further, when the pivoting member has a hook piece and the connecting rod is rotatably attached to the pivoting member, a hanger or the like is also hung on the hook piece. The hook piece can be freely rotated around the axis of the rotating member and the hanger can be hooked.

In the case where the connecting means is formed to be extendable and contractable, the connecting means is appropriately extended and contracted according to the number of hangers or the like to be hooked, the distance between the parts to be clamped which are clamped by the clamps, and the like.

[0021]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of a latch according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the latch of FIG. 1 taken along the line II-II.

This hook has a pair of holding pieces 2a and 2b which can be rotated about the shaft 1, and these holding pieces 2a and 2b.
a leaf spring 6 for urging one end of b in the closing direction
And two ring members 10a and 12b extending from both ends of the shaft 1 and being rotatable at least on the opening side of the clamping piece.
U-shaped connecting rod 13 connected to the ring portions a and 12b
And a plurality of hooks 14 suspended from the connecting rod.

More specifically, the pair of holding pieces 2a, 2
At a substantially middle portion of the b, bulging portions 3a and 3b are formed facing each other. The shaft 1 can be slidably mounted on the bulging portions 3a and 3b, and holding pieces 2a and 2b are provided. Curved concave portions 4a and 4b for engagement so as to be relatively rotatable are formed. Therefore, the pair of holding pieces 2a and 2b are rotatable about the shaft 1 as a fulcrum.

On the closed side of the pair of holding pieces 2a, 2b, engaging projections 5a, 6b for engaging engaging portions 6a, 6b formed at both ends of a substantially arc-shaped leaf spring 6 are provided. 5b are formed. Engaging portions 6a, 6b at both ends of leaf spring 6
And the engaging projections 5a and 5b of the pair of holding pieces 2a and 2b are engaged with each other, thereby preventing displacement of both ends of the leaf spring 6. Therefore, one end of the pair of holding pieces 2a and 2b is urged in the closing direction and the other end is urged in the opening direction by the leaf spring 6.

The shaft 1, a pair of holding pieces 2a, 2b
The leaf spring 6 can be disassembled and assembled.

On the inner surfaces on the closed side of the pair of holding pieces 2a, 2b, non-slip members 7a, made of an elastic material such as rubber, are provided.
7b is attached. In addition, the non-slip members 7a, 7
A plurality of grooves 8a and 8b extending in the width direction are formed on the surface of b, and the opposing surface is formed to have a curved cross section bulging inward. Therefore, the pair of holding pieces 2
When the clamped portions such as the convex portions formed between the grooves of the gate are clamped from below at the closed-side ends of a and 2b, the non-slip members 7a and 7b are elastically deformed by the urging force of the leaf spring 6, and The clamping force can be increased by increasing the frictional resistance by the grooves 8a and 8b. Moreover, the non-slip members 7a,
Since the opposed surface of 7b is curved, even if the width of the convex portion of the duck is different, the non-slip members 7a and 7b can be brought into surface contact, and the contact area can be increased.

A locking member 11 is provided at the other end of one of the holding pieces 2a of the pair of holding pieces 2a, 2b, that is, at the end urged in the opening direction. In this example, the locking member 11 is formed in a rectangular plate shape, and is attached so as to be able to advance and retreat laterally from a slit-like through hole formed in the width direction of the holding piece 2a. Protrusions are provided on both left and right sides of the inner end of the locking member 11, and the locking member 1

The outer end of the movable locking member 11 is bent so as to prevent the locking member 11 from dropping inward, and the bent front end is formed on the side surface of the gate. It is formed in a saw-like shape in order to securely engage with a hooking portion such as an upper end portion.

On both sides of the shaft 1, flanges 9a and 9b are formed to prevent the shaft 1 from coming off.
From these flanges 9a and 9b, a pair of holding pieces 2
A U-shaped ring portion 10 rotatable outside of a and 2b extends. The ring 10 rotates in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the shaft 1.

At the lowermost end of the inner surface of the ring portion 10, the end of a U-shaped connecting rod 13 is provided with two holding members 12a.
And 12b. Therefore, the connecting rod 13 is rotatable outside the pair of holding pieces 2a and 2b together with the ring portion 10 and is rotatable around an axis perpendicular to the axis of the shaft 1. is there. The lowermost position of the inner surface of the ring portion 10 is located on a line orthogonal to the axis of the shaft 1 and passing through substantially the center of the pair of holding pieces 2a and 2b in the width direction. Therefore, even if a hanger or the like is hung on the connecting rod 13 or the hook 14, a moment in the direction of tilting the pair of holding pieces 2a, 2b does not act on the ring portion 10.

The end of the U-shaped connecting rod 13 is rotatably loosely fitted to the ring portions of the two clamps 12a and 12b, so that it is orthogonal to the axis of the shaft 1. The connecting means can be rotated about an axis in a direction in which the connecting means moves. For this reason, even when the extending directions of the convex portions such as the gates clamped by the two clamps 12a and 12b are different from each other, such as in the corner portion of the room, the clamp is connected to the connecting rod 13. By pivoting to the end and sequentially or simultaneously clamping the clamped parts,
Hooks can be installed. The ends of the U-shaped connecting rod 13 are connected to two holding members 12a and 12a, respectively.
Instead of loosely fitting loosely into the ring part of b,
A joint pipe or the like may be interposed at the bent portion of the U-shaped connecting rod 13 so that the horizontal portion of the connecting rod 13 can rotate around the axis of the vertical portion.

The connecting rod 13 is composed of two pipes 13a and 13b having different thicknesses, one end of which is connected to each ring portion 10 of the clamps 12a and 12b. It is inserted into the other pipe 13a so as to be able to move forward and backward. Therefore, the connecting rod 13 and the hook 1
The length of the connecting rod can be adjusted in accordance with the number of hangers and the like to be hooked on the four, the distance between the clamped parts such as the gates clamped by the two clamps 12a and 12b, and the like. When the hook is not used, the storage volume can be reduced by contracting the connecting rod.

The hook is provided with a hook 14 having a ring 14a loosely fitted to the connecting rod 13. Therefore, a hanger or the like can be hung on the hook 14 and the hook 14 can be freely slid to an appropriate position of the connecting rod 13 for use.

When a hook such as this example is used, even if a hanger or the like is hooked, the hook can be stably hooked to a duck or the like. Hereinafter, a method of using the hook will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 are schematic views showing a use state of the hook shown in FIG. 1 and FIG.

Of the lower surface of the device. Since the non-slip members 7a and 7b are attached to the inner surfaces of the closed-side ends of the pair of holding pieces 2a and 2b, the hook can be firmly attached to the convex portion 51 on the lower surface of the duck 50. . When the hook is attached in a hanging state from the convex portion 51, the ring portion 10 and the connecting rod 13 connected thereto can be suspended from the shaft 1. A hook 41 of a hanger 40 connected to a hanger body 43 via a rotary tether 42 is connected to the connecting rod 13.
, A load acts on the ring portion 10 and the shaft 1 of the hook.

However, as shown in FIG. 3, since the ring portion 10 extends from the shaft 1 and can swing, even if a load is applied from a direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the shaft 1,
It is possible to prevent the generation of the moment M1 of tilting the hook with respect to the convex portion 51 of the Kamoi 50. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the load by the hanger 40 is
It acts in the direction d connecting the substantially center in the width direction of a and 2b and the lowermost end E of the ring portion 10. In this case, even if a moment M2 in the axial direction of the shaft 1 acts on the hanger 40, the hanger 40 can swing with respect to the connecting rod 13 so that
The moment M for tilting the latch with respect to the convex portion 51
2 can be prevented from transmitting to the latch. For this reason, even if the hanger 40 is hung, it is possible to prevent the hook from dropping off from the gate 50.
