2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various hangers for suspending and holding relatively long clothes such as pants, skirts, and towels have been used. The conventional clothes hanging clip (11) used for such a hanger is configured by using two vertically long synthetic resin clip members (12, hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as “clip members”). More specifically,
As shown in FIG. 1, the vertically long clip member (12) has a clothing holding portion (121) at a lower end portion, an operation portion (122) at an upper end portion for opening and closing the clothing holding portion (121), and a back surface (12B). ) Has two plate-shaped pivot portions (123) having a pivot shaft insertion hole (123a) in the operation portion (1) on the back surface (12B).
22) A spring locking portion (124) is provided in the vicinity thereof, and the back surfaces (12B) of the spring locking portions (124) face each other, and further, the two clip members (1) facing each other.
Between the two, the both ends are locked to the spring locking part (124) to sandwich the metal coil spring (13), and the two plate-like pivotal support parts (of the clip members (12) overlapped by this ( 1
23) and the coil of the coil spring (13) to the pivot shaft (1
4) is inserted therethrough.

The synthetic resin clip member (12) used for such a clothes hanging clip (11) is mass-produced by injecting a synthetic resin such as polystyrene into a mold corresponding to the above shape. There is. More specifically,
The metal mold for mass-producing the vertically elongated synthetic resin clip member (12) includes a front mold member that forms the clip member surface (12A) and two plates provided on the clip member back surface (12B). -Shaped die supporting member (123) forming a back side die member, and two rod-shaped die members forming pivot support shaft insertion holes (123a) provided in the two plate-like pivot supporting portions (123), total 4 points After the synthetic resin is injected from the resin injection hole provided in the front side mold member to cure the resin, the two rod-shaped mold members are first retracted laterally from the inside of the mold. Then, the remaining front-side mold member and the back-side mold member are opened so as to be separated from each other for mass production.

[0004]

However, in the above-mentioned mold, since it is necessary to move the rod-shaped mold member in the lateral direction, the mass production process is complicated. Further, when a plurality of clips are arranged side by side in one mold having a certain width in the lateral direction for mass production, when the rod-shaped mold member moves laterally between the molds corresponding to the respective clips, its retreat path Therefore, there is a problem that the number of clips that can be mass-produced in a mold having a constant width is reduced. Further, since the resin injection hole is provided in the front side mold member of the mold, the mass-produced clip member surface (12A) or the clip member side surface (1).
There was also a problem that the resin injection hole mark (15) remained in 2C) and the appearance was very bad.

Further, the spring used is a coil spring (1
3), when both ends are locked to the spring locking part (124) of the clip member, there is twisting of the spring due to the coil structure, and therefore the spring causes the vicinity of the operation part (122) at the upper end of the back surface. Spring locking part (124) provided on the
Is not only urged in the direction in which the operating parts are separated,
Even slightly, each clip member is biased so as to laterally slide in the opposite direction (see the arrow X direction in FIG. 1), which causes the pair of clip members (12) to twist, and as a result, the lower end portion There is also a problem that the clothes holding portion (121) is also twisted, which adversely affects the holding operation.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2 which is a side view of a conventional clothes hanging clip, a V-shaped clothes hanging side view using the above-described conventional vertically long flat plate-like clip member (12) is used. In a hanger with a lower clip (11),
In particular, when a large number of such hangers are hung on a hanger suspension rod such as a clothesline without a gap, the operation portion (122) at the upper end of each clip member is pressed by the adjacent clothes hanging clip, thereby holding the clothes. The part (111) was opened, and there was a problem that the hanging clothes fell off.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to make a synthetic resin clip member used for a clothes hanging clip into a specific structure, thereby making the synthetic resin clip member. The present invention aims to provide a clothes hanging clip which not only reduces the number of mold members to be mass-produced but also simplifies the structure of the mold, thereby increasing the manufacturing cost and productivity of the mold. Further, it is an object of the present invention to provide a clothes hanging clip that can hold clothes in a stable state without twisting of the spring and prevents the clothes holding portion from being opened carelessly. .

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the clothes hanging clip (1) according to the present invention. The clothes hanging clip (1) provided near both ends of the hanger includes a pair of vertically elongated synthetic resin clip members ( 2) and a spring (3). At the lower end of the clip member (2), a clothing holding part (2
1) has an operation part (22) for opening and closing the clothing holding part (21) at the upper end and a pivot shaft insertion hole (2) for the back surface (2B).
31) is provided, and two chevron-shaped pivot portions (23) having a chevron-shaped plate are provided, and a space (232) for die extraction is provided from the pivot shaft insertion hole (231) of the pivot portion (23) to the clip member surface (2A). ) Has been formed. The pivot shaft insertion hole (2
31) and the space (232) for extracting the mold are integrally formed.

The mold used for mass-producing such a clip member (2) is a front mold member forming the clip member surface (2A) and two chevron plates provided on the clip member back surface (2B). -Shaped pivotally supporting part (23) and a back side mold member, and the front side mold member has pivot support shaft insertion holes (23) formed in two chevron-shaped pivoting parts (23).
1) and plate-shaped projections corresponding to the space (232) for extracting the mold are provided.

When mass-producing the clip member (2) using such a mold, synthetic resin is injected into the mold from the tip of the plate-like projection corresponding to the pivotal shaft insertion hole (231). , Cure. Therefore, the resin injection hole traces formed on the mass-produced synthetic resin clip member (2) are formed on the U-shaped inner peripheral surface (233) of the pivot support portion (23) forming the pivot support shaft insertion hole (231). Therefore, when the clip member (2) is assembled to form a clothes hanging clip, the resin injection hole traces are very inconspicuous, so that the appearance of the clothes hanging clip is not impaired. .

When the clip member (2) produced from the inside of the mold after curing is taken out, the front side mold member and the back side mold member may be simply opened and separated from each other. In the conventional mold, the rod-shaped mold member is retracted in the lateral direction, and then the separation is performed. However, by using such a mold, the rod-shaped mold member is moved in the lateral direction and is inserted into the pivot shaft insertion hole (231). Since a corresponding rod-shaped die member is not required, the number of die members can be reduced, which not only reduces the manufacturing cost of the die, but also requires that the rod-shaped die member be moved laterally. Clip member (2) because it disappear
The mass production process can be simplified, and the productivity of the clip member (2) can be improved.

Further, since there is no need for a retreat path when the rod-shaped die lateral member moves in the lateral direction, and since the clips can be mass-produced in a very close state inside the die, such a retreat path is required, It is possible to increase the number of clips that can be mass-produced in a mold having the same width as compared with a conventional mold that is mass-produced in a state where the clips are separated from each other, which also improves the productivity of the clip member (2). Can be made.

Such a clip member (2) is assembled as a clothes hanging clip (1) on the side of the hanger body as follows. First, the U-shaped spring (3) is bent downward, and the tip end thereof is aligned with the spring engagement groove (24) provided in the vicinity of the operating portion (22) on the back surface (2B) of each clip member. Engage, the back surfaces (2B) of the pair of clip members face each other so as to sandwich the spring (3), and the pivotal support portions (23) are superposed.
The pivot shaft (4) of the hanger is inserted into the pivot shaft insertion hole (231) of each of the superimposed pivot parts (23). In this way, each clip member (2) is configured to be swingable about the pivot support shaft insertion hole (231), and the spring (3) is in a state of straddling the pivot support shaft (4). . The U-shaped spring presses and urges the spring engagement groove (24) so that the tip end portions engaged with the spring engagement groove (24) are separated from each other.
With the pivot shaft (4) as a fulcrum, the clothing holding portions (21) of the clip member (2) are elastically biased in a direction of being pressed against each other. Since the tip of the spring (3) presses the spring engaging groove (24) evenly, unlike the coil spring, there is no lateral twist of the spring, and therefore the twist does not adversely affect the clothing holding portion of the lower end. Instead, the clothes can be clamped in a stable state. In addition, a pivot support portion contact groove (25) that is recessed so as to be curved in the vertical direction is provided in the back surface portion of the clip member with which the top of the chevron support portion (23) of the chevron plate shape abuts, and a pair of clip members is provided. It is preferable that the back surfaces (2B) face each other so that the pivotally supporting portions (23) are surely overlapped with each other and that the clip member (2) swings smoothly. In this case, two chevron-shaped pivots (2
In 3), the abutment of the top portion with the pivot abutment groove (25) may be slightly larger than that without the groove. In the above description, two chevron-shaped pivot portions (23) are provided on the back surface (2) of the clip member, but three or more may be used if necessary.

The clip member (2) may have a flat plate shape, but as shown in FIG. 4, which is a side view of the clothes hanging clip (1) using the above-mentioned clip member (2). On the surface (2A) of the clip member, the clothing holding portion (2
It is preferable that a garment drop preventing protrusion (26, hereinafter simply referred to as “protrusion”) is formed in 1) so as to project outward from the operation unit (22) when the clothes are clamped. By providing such a raised portion (26), even when many hangers equipped with the clothing hanging clip (1) according to the present invention are hung on a clothesline or the like, a raised portion for preventing clothes from falling. Since the part (26) projects outward from the operating part (22), the operating part (22) provided at the upper end of each clip member (2) presses against the adjacent clothes hanging clip (1). Since it is not
1) does not open carelessly, and hanging clothes do not fall off. In addition, since the garment holding portions (21) of the clip member (2) are always elastically biased by the spring (3) in a direction of being in pressure contact with each other, the vertically long vertically long clip member (2) has its surface (2A) covered. Although it gradually warps as a back, provision of such a raised portion (26) makes such warping less likely to occur.
In addition, the operation portion (2) near the upper edge of the clip member (2).
2) may have a flat plate shape, but from the viewpoint of preventing the above warpage as much as possible, it is preferable to have a structure slightly curved in the short side direction as shown in FIG. Instead of such a curved structure, or together with the curved structure, the rib (not shown) may be formed by slightly increasing the thickness of the portion (the dotted line portion in FIG. 3) extending from the periphery of the operating portion (22) to the root of the raised portion (26). ) May be formed to prevent curling. The raised portion (26) as described above may be formed by providing a projection (not shown) on the clip member surface (2A).

Although the clip member (2) is made of synthetic resin, the other springs (3), the pivot shaft (4) of the hanger, etc. are all made of synthetic resin, and the clothes are hung on the hanger. It is preferable to prevent the needle detector from malfunctioning when the hanger is applied to the needle detector in order to confirm whether or not there is left.

Although the spring is U-shaped in the above description, it is disclosed in JP-A-8-205984 and JP-A-1.
As described in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 0-33351, an inverted U-shaped spring is used, and the clothing holding portion (2) of the clip member (2) is used.
1) You may elastically urge in a direction in which they are pressed against each other. In this case, the spring engagement groove (2
Instead of 4), a spring engaging portion (not shown) is provided.
