DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hanger, and more particularly to a hanger suitably used in an automobile cabin.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a car, for example, a hanger is sometimes used to suspend a detached jacket. In this case, it is usual that a hanger is hung by hanging a hook portion on an assist grip (atley grip) or the like beside the upper surface of the rear seat. After use, the hanger is detached from the grip or the like, stored and stored, and is taken out again and hung on the grip or the like at the time of use.

[0003] However, if the hanger is suspended only during use, it is troublesome to attach and detach the hanger. It was also necessary to secure a storage place for the hanger when not in use.

[0004] Of course, by suspending the hanger on a grip or the like at all times, the above-mentioned disadvantages can be solved.
In this case, a new problem arises in that the hanger suspended in a vertical state obstructs the view, narrows the cabin space, or hinders getting on and off.

The hook and the hanger main body are pivotally mounted in the thickness direction of the hanger main body so that the hanger main body can be in a vertical use posture and a horizontal or oblique sideways non-use posture. There has been provided a hanger which is rotatable and urged by a biasing member in a direction in which the hanger body is turned from a use position to a non-use position (Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 1-129269).

According to this hanger, the hanger body can be turned to a vertical use posture during use by hooking the hook member to an assist grip or the like in a vehicle cabin so that the hanger exhibits its original function. On the other hand, when not in use, the hanger main body can be turned sideways or diagonally sideways, and this state can be maintained, so even if the hanger is not removed after use,
Inconveniences such as obstruction of view, narrowing of the cabin space, and disturbing getting on and off can be suppressed.

[0007]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional hanger, since the hanger main body is urged by the urging member in the direction of turning from the use posture to the non-use posture, clothes and the like are transferred from the hanger main body. At the same time, the hanger body jumps up to the non-use position in the horizontal or diagonal horizontal direction. For this reason, there has been a problem that the hanger body that jumps up is dangerous because it comes into contact with the user's face or the like.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and is directed to a hanger in which a hanger body is biased by a biasing member in a direction in which the hanger body is turned from a use position to a non-use position. An object of the present invention is to provide a highly safe hanger in which the hanger body is prevented from jumping up when clothes are removed and the danger of the hanger body coming into contact with a user's face or the like is reduced.

[0009]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention, referring to the reference numerals in the drawings, shows a hanger body (1) and a hanger body suspension connected to the hanger body (1). The hanger body (1) includes a holding hook member (3), and the hook member (3) and the hanger body (1) are pivotally mounted on the hanger body in a thickness direction of the hanger body. Rotation can be switched between a vertical use posture and a horizontal or oblique sideways non-use posture, and
In a hanger provided with an urging member (5) for urging the hanger body (1) in a direction of turning from a use posture to a non-use posture, the hanger body (1) is urged by the urging force of the urging member (5). ) Is provided with stopper mechanisms (26) and (35) for temporarily stopping the rotation of the hanger body (1) at a position in the middle of the turning from the use posture to the non-use posture. The hanger to do is the gist.

Preferably, the stopper mechanism is provided with a locking piece (26) provided on one of the hanger body (1) and the hook member (3) and an arc-shaped section provided on the other and extending in the rotation direction. Of the rocking piece (35), and the tip of the rocking piece (35) is formed as a thick portion (35a) with its outer surface bulging.
The rotation of the hanger body (1) is temporarily stopped by abuttingly locking the locking piece (26) and the distal end surface of the thick portion (35a) of the swinging piece (35). Good to be done.

[0011]

The hanger body (1) is turned by the stopper mechanisms (26) and (35) at the position where the hanger body (1) is being turned from the used posture to the non-used posture by the urging force of the urging member (5). Since the rotation of (1) is temporarily stopped, the danger or accident to the hanger user due to the large unintentional rotation of the hanger body (1) in the flipping-up direction at the same time when the clothes are removed is suppressed.

With the hook member (3) attached to the hanger body (1) via the connecting member (2) in this manner,
The hanger body (1) is rotatable with respect to the hook member (3) in the thickness direction of the hanger body (1), is provided with a rotation returning force, and has one end extending portion (5a). In (3), the hanger body (1) rotates in one direction (the direction of the arrow in FIG. 2) by the action of the coil spring (5) in which the other end extension (5b) is locked to the connecting member (2). The urging force is always applied.

Next, a method of using the hanger (A) for an automobile according to the illustrated embodiment will be described.

First, the hook (31) is hooked on the assist grip (B) in the vehicle compartment to mount the hanger body (1). In this case, when the width of the hooking space of the hook portion (31) is larger than the thickness of the assist grip (B), the hooking portion (31) is tightly engaged with the grip. It is also recommended to insert an inverted U-shaped spacer (7).

Next, when clothes such as outerwear are put on the hanger body (1), the hanger body (1) rotates against the constant biasing force of the coil spring (5) due to the weight of the clothes. The vertical posture is as shown in FIG.

Next, when the clothes are removed from the hanger body (1), the hanger body (1) is placed on one side in the thickness direction about the shaft (34) (FIG. 6) by the urging force of the coil spring (5). (Clockwise). However, the tip of the oscillating piece (35) of the hook member (3) bulges outward and becomes thicker (35).
a), when the hanger body (1) is slightly rotated, the tip of the locking piece (26) of the connecting member (2) can get over the rocking piece (35) as shown in FIG. Instead, the hanger body (1) stops in contact with the tip end surface of the swinging piece, and in that state, the hanger body (1) stops. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a danger of contact with the hanger user and an accident due to the large unintentional rotation of the hanger body at the same time that the clothes are removed from the hanger body (1).

Next, as shown by a chain line in FIG. 7, the rocking piece (35) is pressed inward in the thickness direction with a hand or the like, and the rocking piece (35) and the locking piece (26) are pressed. Release the engagement. Then, the hanger body (1) rotates again while the tip of the locking piece (26) slides on the peripheral surface of the swinging piece (35). A plurality of elongated dimples (36) are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the swinging piece (35) at intervals in the circumferential direction in order to suppress the rotation speed of the swing piece (35). Therefore, a frictional force is applied to the tip of the locking piece (26) by the unevenness of the dimple (36), so that the rotation speed of the hanger body (1) is reduced, and the safety is further improved. Become.

When the hanger main body (1) is rotated until the hanger main body (1) is in a horizontal or oblique horizontal state as shown in FIG. 8, the hanger main body (1) comes into contact with the ceiling in the vehicle, and further rotation is prevented. . Then, the lateral non-use posture is maintained thereafter by the urging force of the coil spring (5). Thus, when not in use, the hanger body (1) is horizontally or obliquely turned and held. Therefore, even if the hanger (A) is always attached to the assist grip (B) or the like, the hanger is not obstructed. There is no inconvenience such as a reduction in the cabin space and obstruction of getting on and off.

Next, when the hanger (A) is to be used again, the hanger body (1) is rotated in the opposite direction to that described above against the urging force of the coil spring (5). As the rotation progresses, the tip of the locking piece (26) comes into contact with the peripheral surface of the rocking piece (35), but the rocking piece (35) is automatically pushed inward and displaced, The hanger body (1) is smoothly changed to the vertical use posture without being hindered by (35).

[0028]

According to the present invention, as described above, the rotation of the hanger main body is temporarily stopped at the position where the rotation of the hanger main body from the use posture to the non-use posture is being performed by the urging force of the urging member. Since a stopper mechanism is provided to stop the danger, it is possible to prevent danger and accidents to the hanger user due to unintentional large swinging of the hanger body in the flipping-up direction at the same time that the clothes are removed. Can be a high hanger.

The stopper mechanism comprises a locking piece provided on one of the hanger body and the hook member, and a swinging piece provided on the other side and having an arc-shaped cross section extending in the rotation direction. The tip is formed as a thick portion whose outer surface is bulged, and the rotation of the hanger body is stopped by abutting engagement between the locking piece and the tip face of the thick portion of the swinging piece. In addition to the above-mentioned effects, in the case of turning, it is possible to certainly suspend the rotation in the flipping direction to the non-use position, while the rotation from the non-use position to the use position is possible. On the other hand, it is possible to switch to the use posture while automatically displacing the rocking piece in the thickness direction, and it is possible to provide a convenient hanger with a simple configuration.
