Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a hanging hook, and more particularly to a movable hanging hook having a movable portion that is pulled out to a use position by a manual operation and is retracted in an unused state.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, as a movable object hanging metal fitting, the portion for hanging an object is evacuated when not in use (initial state), and when the user tries to hang the object, the portion for hanging the object is pulled out and used. A strong spring is attached to the other end of the lever, which has a hook for hooking things on one end, and this spring exerts a strong spring force in the direction that the lever returns to the initial state (unused state). There is one that always puts the hook in the initial state even when the is hooked. A user who wants to hang an object on such an object-mounting metal fitting pulls out the lever with both hands against the strong spring force, and hangs the object on the hook part of the lever while holding the lever to return. , It is necessary to return the lever to the initial state while supporting the lever with both hands so that the lever does not suddenly return due to the strong spring force.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, the above-mentioned conventional metal fittings are constructed based on the design concept of always returning the lever with hook to the initial state even when used (when the material is hung). Therefore, a strong return spring is attached to the lever with hook. Therefore, in the above-mentioned conventional metal fitting, the user must always operate the lever with a heavy hook to oppose the strong spring force of this return spring which acts in the direction opposite to the intention of operation. However, there is a problem in that operation with both hands is required to operate the lever with hook safely and reliably. That is, for example, for a user who holds a lot of luggage with both hands, the conventional hanging hardware is very difficult to operate. Especially when trying to hang an object on the hook, if the user releases the lever, the lever will return due to the spring force.Therefore, the complicated operation of hanging the object on the hook provided on the lever while holding down the lever trying to return Therefore, the above-described conventional hanging bracket has poor operability.

Further, in the above-mentioned conventional hanging hardware, even when an object is hung on the hook, the lever with hook is pulled back to the initial state by the strong spring force. There is a problem that the hanging object (for example, the hand-held portion of the bag) may be damaged by being sandwiched between the metal fitting casing or the wall to which the metal fitting is attached. After the user pulls out the lever with hook from the initial state and hangs an object, the lever with hook is returned to the initial state by the spring force. The space between them is very narrow, and there is the problem that there is not enough space to hang objects.

In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide an object hanging bracket that can be lightly operated, has good operability when hanging an object, and is easy to hang an object.

[0006]

[Embodiment of the invention]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 to 3 are views for explaining a structure and an operating state of a material hanging bracket according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are top views of the object hanging bracket according to the present embodiment with the mounting casing open, FIG. 1 being the initial state (unused state, initial position of the lever 1), and FIG. The operating states of the metal fittings in the stopped state (used state, locked position of the lever 1) are shown respectively. FIG. 3 is a front view of the hanging bracket according to the present embodiment.

With reference to FIGS. 1 to 3, an object mounting bracket according to the present embodiment includes a mounting casing formed by fitting a lower lid 5a and an upper lid 5b to each other and screwing them together, and a flap for hanging an article. A lever 1 having a hook portion, a pivot 2, a coil spring (first elastic means) 3, and a plate spring (locking means, second elastic means) 4. In the mounting case, a part of the side wall of the lower lid 5a is cut off, and in a state where the lower lid 5a and the upper lid 5b are combined, the cut out portion becomes an opening of the mounting casing. The lever 1 projects from the outside of the mounting casing. The casing wall around the opening is locked by the coil spring 3 so that the lever 1 is not pivoted beyond the initial state (see FIG. 1) and the locked state (see FIG. 2). The pivot 2 is integrally provided with the lower lid 5a at a substantially central portion of the lower lid 5a, and pivotally supports the lever 1 with respect to the mounting casing. Further, the tip end of the pivot 2 is fitted to the upper lid 5b in a state where the mounting casing is closed. About half of the lever 1 is housed in the mounting casing, the tip of the lever 1 outside the mounting casing is a curved hook, and the end of this hook does not slip off the hung object. It is considered to be a large diameter spherical part. Further, the intermediate portion, which is a portion protruding from the opening portion of the mounting casing, is a slanted portion 1a extending in an oblique direction (see 1a shown by a shaded line in FIG. 3), so that the mounting casing and the lever are The space (clearance) between the hook portion and the hook portion 1 is enlarged, so that an object can be easily hooked on the hook portion. A plate is integrally formed on the inclined portion 1a, and "plate" is displayed on the plate surface. Further, an arrow or a display for explaining the operating direction of the lever 1 can be attached to a portion visible to the operator of the lever 1.

A circumferential groove for spring attachment is formed on the lever 1 on the side opposite to the hook portion with respect to the pivot 2, and one end of the coil spring 3 is wound and attached to the lever 1. The other end of the coil spring 3 is fixed to the lower lid 5a by being wound around a hole formed in the side wall (lower side wall in FIG. 1) of the lower lid 5a. In the unused state (initial state) shown in FIG. 1, the length of the coil spring 3 is slightly longer than its natural length, and gradually increases as the lever 1 is operated (pivoted) and gradually increases. It exerts a tensile force to return the lever 1 to the initial state shown in FIG. Also, in order to prevent the lever 1 from returning too much to the initial position side, in the initial state of the lever 1 (see FIG. 1), the opening surface of the mounting casing abuts the lever 1, and the lever 1 is on the left side in the figure It prevents further pivoting to the pivoting side.

The tip of the lever 1 has a triangular roof shape with slopes formed on both sides, and is pivoted by the operation of the lever 1 so that the slopes and the tips on both sides slide on the side surface of the spring portion of the plate spring 4, The leaf spring 4 is pressed and receives a spring force as a reaction.

The base of the plate-shaped spring 4 extends along the inner wall surface (the inner wall surface on the left side in FIG. 1) of the lower lid 5, and is bent to a bent spring portion before the corner portion (the upper left corner portion in FIG. 1). Transition. The spring portion extends toward the inner wall surface (the inner wall surface on the upper side in FIG. 1) substantially orthogonal to the inner wall surface, and further bends immediately before contacting the inner wall surface (the inner wall surface on the upper side in FIG. 1). It extends toward the lever 1 side, gradually separates from the inner wall surface (the inner wall surface on the upper side in FIG. 1), and intersects the pivot locus of the tip of the lever 1.

Further, the tip end of the spring portion of the plate-shaped spring 4 is bent to the lever 1 side, and then bent to a side opposite to the lever 1, that is, the inner wall surface (the inner wall surface on the upper side in FIG. 1) side in a substantially key shape. ing. The normal line of the outer side (lever 1 side) side surface of the keyed bent portion, that is, the locking surface is substantially coincident with the direction of the locus drawn by the tip of the lever 1, and the locked state (object) In a state where the metal fittings are used), this locking surface abuts against the tip end slope of the lever 1 (the slope on the left side in FIG. 2) and is pressed. As a reaction of this pressing, the lever 1 is in the initial position (state of FIG. Lever 1 is releasably locked (held or locked) under spring force so as not to return to the (used condition).

Next, the operation of the metal fitting for hanging according to the present embodiment will be described. When a user who wants to hang an object pulls the lever 1 of the object hanging metal fitting in the initial state (unused state) shown in FIG. 1 toward the front side, the lever 1 pivots about the pivot 2. As the lever 1 pivots, the coil spring 3 extends beyond its natural length and exerts a tensile force to restore the lever 1 to the initial state shown in FIG. As the lever 1 pivots, the one side slope (the right side slope in FIG. 2) of the tip of the lever 1 and the tip slide on the side of the spring of the plate spring 4 to press the spring. Then, as a reaction, a spring force is applied from the plate-shaped spring 4 in a direction to return the lever 1 to the initial position (the state shown in FIG. 1). When the operator pivots the lever 1 against the tensile force of the coil spring 3 and the spring force of the plate spring 4, the tip of the lever 1 and the tip of the spring portion of the plate spring 4 are bent. The sliding portion (the portion protruding toward the lever 1 side) slides, and the spring portion of the plate-shaped spring 4 is pressed most by the lever 1 in a state in which both slide. When the operator further pivots the lever 1 from this state, the other slope of the tip of the lever 1 (the slope on the left side in FIG. 1) is outside the tip of the spring of the plate spring 4 (lever 1). The side portion, that is, the locking surface, comes into contact with and presses the side surface, that is, the spring portion of the plate-shaped spring 4 slightly returns to the lever 1 side and the bending force is slightly reduced. Then, for the first time, the leaf spring 4 exerts a spring force in a direction in which the lever 1 does not return to the initial position (state in FIG. 1, unused state) and temporarily locks the lever 1 in the locked state shown in FIG. . Therefore, immediately before the state where the lever 1 is locked (the state shown in FIG. 2), the largest operating force against the spring force of the plate spring 4 is required. Since the spring force acts in the opposite direction, the movement of the lever 1 suddenly becomes lighter, so how much the operator should pivot the lever 1, that is, the locking position of the lever 1 (see FIG. 2), Can be clearly detected.

In a state where the lever 1 is temporarily held by the plate-shaped spring 4, the operator hooks an object on the hook portion of the lever 1.

When the operator returns the lever 1 from the locked state to the initial state, the operator removes an object from the hook portion of the lever 1 and pivots the lever 1 to the initial position side (left side in FIG. 2). By this pivoting operation, the other end slope of the lever 1 (left side in FIG. 2) and the outer side (lever 1 side) side of the spring end of the plate spring 4 (lever 1 side), that is, the locking surface, slides smoothly. After the tip of the lever 1 and the bent part of the spring of the plate spring 4 (the part protruding to the lever 1 side) slide further, the plate spring 4 reverses to the previous one. By urging the lever 1 toward the initial position like the coil spring 3, the article mounting bracket will pivot from the initial state shown in FIG. 1 to the locked state shown in FIG. By the action opposite to the case, the initial state is automatically restored smoothly even if the manual operation is stopped.

In order to release the locked state of the lever 1 lightly and easily by manual operation, the tip end portion of the lever 1 on the other side inclined surface (the left side in FIG. 2) and the tip end portion of the spring portion of the plate spring 4 are outside. The side (lever 1 side) side surface extends in the holding state shown in FIG. 2 substantially along the rotation direction of the lever 1.

In the object hanging metal fitting of the present embodiment having the above-described structure and operation, when the user pulls out the lever 1 and tries to hang the object, the lever 1 is automatically moved by the spring force of the plate spring 4. Since the lever 1 does not return even if you release your hand from the lever 1 by holding it on, the object can be hung on the hook part of the lever 1 in the stationary state, so that the object can be hung up very easily. ing. Then, in the locked state, the stationary (locked) state is easily released by pivoting the lever 1 slightly. In addition, the holding position of the lever 1 is clearly detected by the operator due to the change in the direction in which the spring force of the plate-shaped spring 4 tends to pivot the lever 1. Further, since it is configured that the lever 1 does not have to be returned in a use state in which an object is hung, even if the elastic force of the coil spring 3 for returning the lever 1 is weak, it is sufficient. Further, according to the present embodiment, there is provided an object hanging metal fitting which has a very small number of members and a simple structure and which can be lightly operated and has excellent operability and which allows an object to be easily hung.

Further, it can be easily attached to the hanging bracket, the pachinko machine, the shelf, the desk, the slight gap, etc. of the present embodiment by using screws, adhesion, magnetic force, etc. without taking up a space. Typically, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the mounting casing is mounted on the mounted material so that the pivot axis of the lever 1 substantially coincides with the direction of gravity (horizontally). Of course, it may be attached in the direction of. Alternatively, the lever 1, the coil spring 3, and the plate-shaped panel 4 may be directly attached to the attached material by forming a pivot on the attached material. In this case, the attached material serves as an attachment casing. The material of each member of this hanging bracket is not limited in any way. Further, instead of the coil spring and the plate spring of this embodiment, other elastic means (pinching spring, coiled spring, compression spring, tension spring, etc.) can be used. It can be arranged symmetrically with respect to the lever 1. It is also possible to drive the lever with a motor or the like. Further, the locking means of the lever may be a locking means that is fitted to the tip of the lever 1 (the tip on the upper side in FIG. 1) under spring force.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the embodiment of the present invention described above, and can be modified by those skilled in the art based on the basic principle of the present invention.

[Effect of the invention]

 As described above, according to the present invention, the lever is automatically held by the spring force of the plate spring when the user pulls out the lever and tries to hang an object. Since the lever does not move when you release it and you can hang an object on the hook part of the lever in a stationary state, it is configured to be very easy to hang. Then, the stationary state is easily released only by pivoting the lever. Further, since it is configured that the lever does not need to be returned in the use state in which an object is hung, even a weak elastic force of the elastic means for returning the lever is sufficient. In addition, according to the present invention, there is provided a metal hanging bracket with a very small number of members and a simple structure, which is light in weight, excellent in operability, and easy to hang an object. It does not matter where it is (claims 1-8). The invention of claim 6 has the same effect, and further, the coil spring and the plate spring are provided with respect to the pivot locus of the lever so that the pivot space of the lever is sufficiently secured in the mounting casing. It is arranged. Further, the locking and releasing operations are made smooth by using the locking means as elastic means (claim 2).

Further, since a plate spring can be used as the lever locking means, it is possible to provide a low-cost metal fitting for hanging the article (claim 3).

Further, in particular, by configuring the spring force of the plate spring to change the direction in which the lever is pivoted, the locking position of the lever is clearly detected by the operator, and the lever is excessively moved. It is prevented from being turned (Claim 4).

Further, by forming an inclined surface on one side of the lever at least on the initial position side with respect to the pivot direction of the lever, a wide contact area with the engaging surface of the plate spring is secured, and the engaging force acts. It becomes easier (Claim 5).

Also, preferably, the mounting casing of the lever is tilted with respect to the pivot axis direction of the lever between a portion protruding from the opening of the mounting casing of the lever and a hook portion formed on the tip side of the lever. The clearance between the hook portion to be operated and the hook portion to be operated is expanded, and it is easy to hold the bag between the attachment casing or the attached material and the hook portion (claim 7).

Further, preferably, the vicinity of the opening of the casing abuts against the lever to prevent the lever from rotating, whereby damage to the device due to excessive pivotal movement of the lever is prevented (claim 8).
