Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、高所に位置する係止部にハンガーを掛け外しする際等に使用されるハンガー支持棒の改良に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来、例えば実公平４−９８７９号公報に示されるように、高所に設けられた係止部に対してハンガーのフックを容易に掛け外しできるようにするために、ハンガーの下方に所定長さ突出してこのハンガーを支持するようにハンガーに直接取り付けられるハンガー支持棒において、この支持棒を、上部杆の下端と下部杆の上端とを回動可能に連結させた連結体とし、この相互の連結部には上部杆と下部杆の軸方向の連結状態を保持するロック装置を設けるとともに、この上部杆の上端をハンガーの上部前面にこれと平行に設けた係止軸に回動自在に嵌着させてなるハンガー支持棒が知られている。
【０００３】
上記ハンガー支持棒は、その不使用時に、ロック装置により直線状の展開状態にロックされた上部杆と下部杆とのロックを解除した後、連結軸を支点に下部杆を回動させて上部杆に重ね合わせることにより、コンパクトに折畳むことができるように構成されている。また、ハンガー支持棒の使用時には、上部杆と下部杆との折畳み状態を解除して上部杆と直線上に位置するように下部杆を回動させた後、この直線状態をロック装置によって維持することにより、ハンガーのフックを高所の係止部に引っ掛けるときにハンガーの支持状態を安定させることができるようになっている。
【０００４】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記公報に記載されたハンガー支持棒は、上部杆および下部杆の展開状態と、折畳み状態との二段階にしか長さを変化させることができないため、ハンガーを比較的低い位置にある係止部に吊下させた場合に、ハンガー支持棒の展開寸法が必要以上に長くなってこの支持棒が邪魔になることがある。このような事態を防止するために、ハンガー支持棒の展開寸法を短くするように上部杆および下部杆の長さをそれぞれ設定すると、ハンガーの係止部が高い位置にある場合に、上記ハンガ支持棒を使用しても係止部にハンガーのフックを容易に引っ掛けることができなくなるという問題がある。
【０００５】
また、上部杆の下端と下部杆の上端との連結部に設けられた軸部を支点に下部杆を回動変位させて展開状態から折畳み状態に移行させるように構成されているので、上記支持棒を使用してハンガーを係止部に引っ掛けた後に下部杆を折畳む場合には、下部杆を回動変位させるためのスペースを必要とし、多数の洋服が収納された収納部内において、上記下部杆を展開状態から折畳み状態に移行させることが困難であるという問題があった。
【０００６】
本発明は、このような事情に鑑み、簡単な構成で使用時にハンガー支持棒を必要な長さに調節することができるハンガー支持棒を提供するものである。
【０００７】
【課題を解決するための手段】
請求項１に係る発明は、ハンガーを高所に位置する係止部に掛け外しする際等に使用されるハンガー支持棒であって、ハンガー本体に取り付けられる上方部材と、この上方部材に沿ってスライド可能に連結される下方部材と、この下方部材を係止してスライド変位を規制する規制部材とを有し、この規制部材による下方部材の係止状態を解除可能なように構成し、かつ上方部材の下端部または下方部材の上端部のいずれか一方に、抜け止め用の舌片を設けるとともに、同他方に、上記舌片が当接する段部を設け、この段部に上記舌片を当接させることによって上方部材と下方部材との連結状態を維持するように構成したものである。
【０００８】
上記構成によれば、規制部材による下方部材の係止状態を解除して下方部材を下方にスライド変位させることにより、上方部材と下方部材とによって構成されるハンガー支持棒の全長が必要な長さに引き伸ばされるとともに、この状態で下方部材のスライド変位が規制部材によって規制されることにより、上記ハンガー支持棒が所定の長さに保持されることになる。また、下方部材を最下方位置にスライド変位させると、上方部材の下端部または下方部材の上端部のいずれか一方に設けられた上記舌片が、同他方に設けられた段部に当接して上方部材と下方部材との連結状態が維持され、下方部材が上方部材から引き抜かれることが防止されることになる。
【０００９】
請求項２に係る発明は、上記請求項１記載のハンガー支持棒において、上方部材または下方部材のいずれか一方に、係止用突片を有する規制部材を取り付けるとともに、同他方に、上記係止用突片が係合される複数の凹部を上下方向に一定間隔で形成し、この凹部に上記係止用突片を係合することによって上方部材と下方部材とのスライド変位を係止するように構成したものである。
【００１０】
上記構成によれば、上方部材または下方部材のいずれか一方に設けられた凹部に、規制部材の係止用突片が係合されることによって上方部材と下方部材とのスライド変位が規制されるとともに、上記凹部と係止用突片との係合を解除した状態で下方部材を上方部材に沿ってスライド変位させることにより、ハンガー支持棒の全長が必要な長さに伸縮されることになる。
【００１１】
請求項３に係る発明は、上記請求項２記載のハンガー支持棒において、規制部材の係止用突片を凹部に係合させる方向に付勢する付勢部材を備えるとともに、上記係止用突片の先端部および凹部の少なくとも一方に、先窄まり方向に傾斜した上下一対のテーパ面を設け、かつ上方側に位置するテーパ面が下方側のテーパ面に比べて急角度で起立するように、両テーパ面の傾斜角度をそれぞれ設定したものである。
【００１２】
上記構成によれば、付勢部材の付勢力に応じ、上記係止用突片が凹部の設置部側に押圧されてこの係止用突片と凹部との係合状態が安定して維持され、上方部材と下方部材とのスライド変位が効果的に抑制されるとともに、この状態で下方部材を下方に引っ張ると、下方のテーパ面が案内面となって上記凹部と係止用突片との係合状態が自動的に解除されることになる。
【００１５】
【発明の実施の形態】
図１は、本発明に係るハンガー支持棒の実施形態を示している。このハンガー支持棒は、プラスチック材等からなる上方部材１と、この上方部材１に沿ってスライド可能に支持される下方部材２と、この下方部材２を係止してそのスライド変位を規制する規制部材３とを有し、上方部材１の上端部がハンガー４に取り付けられるように構成されている。
【００１６】
上方部材１は、図２および図３に示すように、基板５と左右一対の側板６，６とからなる断面コ字状に形成され、その上端部には一部分が開口した筒状の係合部７が設けられている。上記基板５の表面には、基板５の幅方向に伸びる多数の凹部８が上下方向に一定間隔で配設され、各凹部８には、先窄まり方向に傾斜した上下一対のテーパ面８ａ，８ｂがそれぞれ形成されている。そして、凹部８の上方側に位置するテーパ面８ａが下方側のテーパ面８ｂに比べて急角度で起立するように、上方側のテーパ面８ａの傾斜角度αが、下方側のテーパ面８ｂの傾斜角度βよりも大きく設定されている。
【００１７】
また、図４および図５に示すように、上方部材１の下端部には、その底面を覆う底面板９が設けられるとともに、抜け止め用の舌片１０が基板５の下部に設けられている。この抜け止め用の舌片１０は、基板５が逆Ｕ字状に切り欠かれることによって形成されるとともに、その先端部が上方部材１の外方側に突出するように先上がり状態で傾斜している。
【００１８】
下方部材２は、図６〜図８に示すように、基板１１と、左右一対の側板１２，１２と、その先端部から内方側に突出する突条１３，１３とからなる断面Ｃ字状に形成され、この下方部材２が上方部材１に外嵌されることによりスライド可能に連結されるように構成され、下方部材２の上端部には、両側板１２，１２の先端部を互いに連結する連結板１４が設けられている。また、下方部材２の下端部には、その底面を覆う底面板１５が設けられている。
【００１９】
上記基板１１の上部には、その一部がＵ字状に切り欠かれることによって形成されたばね板１６からなる付勢部材が設けられている。このばね板１６は、その先端部が下方部材２の外方側に突出するように、先上がり状態で傾斜している。上記ばね板１６は、その板厚が上記基板１１よりも薄肉に形成されることにより、このばね板１６の裏面基端部に、下方部材２の内方側に突出する段部１６ａが形成されている。また、基板１１の上部には、円柱状のピン１７が外側面に突設された左右一対の起立板１８，１８が、上記ばね板１６の上部側方に突設されるとともに、このばね板１６の上方に長方形の窓孔１９が形成されている。
【００２０】
上記規制部材３は、図９および図１０に示すように、滑り止め部となる複数の突条２０が表面下部に形成された基板２１と、この基板２１の外周部に設けられた周壁板２２とを有し、この周壁部２２の左右両側辺部には、一対のスリット２３，２３がそれぞれ形成されるとともに、このスリット２３，２３の間に、下方部材２の起立板１８，１８に突設された上記ピン１７が嵌入される係合孔２４が形成されている。
【００２１】
また、上記基板２１の裏面上部には、下方部材２の基板１１に設けられた窓孔１９を挿通してその裏面側に進入する係止用突片２５が設けられている。この係止用突片２５の先端部には、先窄まり方向に傾斜した上下一対のテーパ面２５ａ，２５ｂが設けられている。上記両テーパ面２５ａ，２５ｂは、上方部材１の基板５に形成された上記凹部８のテーパ面８ａ，８ｂに対応して、上方側に位置するテーパ面２５ａが下方側のテーパ面２５ｂよりも急角度で起立するように、その傾斜角度がそれぞれ設定されている。
【００２２】
上記ハンガー４は、図１に示すように、上端部に吊下用フック２６が設けられたハンガー本体２７と、このハンガー本体２７の下端部に設けられたズボン支持用の支持棒２８とを備え、上記ハンガー本体２７の上部前面には、左右一対の起立板２９，２９が突設されるとともに、両起立板２９，２９の間に、上方部材１の係合部７が外嵌されて取り付けられる取付軸３０が固定されている。
【００２３】
上記構成において、上方部材１の下端部を、下方部材２の上端部開口部から下方部材２内に挿入することにより、上方部材１と下方部材２とをスライド可能に連結する。上記上方部材１の下端部を下方部材２内に挿入する際には、上方部材１の下端部に設けられた抜け止め用の舌片１０の先端部が、下方部材２の基板１１により押されて上方部材１内に没入するため、上記舌片１０に邪魔されることなく、上方部材１と下方部材２とを連結することができる。
【００２４】
また、上記規制部材３の周壁部２２を、下方部材２の基板１１に突設された上記起立板１８，１８の外側面に沿って外嵌し、上記ピン１７を周壁部２２の係合孔２４に挿入することにより、上記ピン１７を支点にして揺動可能な状態で上記規制部材３が下方部材２の上端部に取り付けられることになる。なお、規制部材３の周壁部２２には、一対のスリット２３，２３が形成されているため、周壁部２２を上記起立板１８，１８の外側面に沿って外嵌する際に、周壁部２２の左右両側辺部を弾性変形させることにより、上記係合孔２４に対するピン１７の挿入作業を容易に行うことができる。
【００２５】
上記規制部材３の取付状態では、図１１に示すように、下方部材２に設けられた上記ばね板１６の先端部が規制部材３の基板２１に当接し、このばね板１６により規制部材３の下端部が下方部材２の基板１１から離間する方向に付勢されるため、規制部材３の裏面上部に設けられた上記係止用突片２５が上方部材１の基板５側に押圧されて、この上方部材１に設けられた凹部８に上記係止用突片２５の先端部が係合される。この結果、上記規制部材３によって下方部材２が係止され、上方部材１と下方部材２とのスライド変位が効果的に規制されることになる。
【００２６】
そして、上方部材１の係合部７をハンガー本体２７の取付軸３０に外嵌してハンガー支持棒をハンガー本体２７に取り付けた状態で、下方部材２を下方に引っ張ると、上記係止用突片２５の先端部に設けられた下方側のテーパ面２５ｂが、上記凹部８のテーパ面８ｂに圧接されて、上記規制部材３による下方部材２の係止状態が自動的に解除され、下方部材２が上方部材１に沿って下方にスライド変位する。
【００２７】
すなわち、上記係止用突片２５のテーパ面２５ｂおよび凹部８のテーパ面８ｂが、それぞれ緩やかに起立するように傾斜しているので、上記下方部材２の引張り力に応じ、係止用突片２５のテーパ面２５ｂが凹部８のテーパ面８ｂに沿って摺動することにより、規制部材３がピン１７を支点に揺動変位するように駆動され、その係止用突片２５が下方部材２の凹部８外に導出されて上記規制部材３による下方部材２の係止状態が自動的に解除される結果、この下方部材２を下方にスライド変位させることが許容されることになる。
【００２８】
したがって、上記下方部材２を下方に引っ張って段階的にスライド変位させた後、上方部材１の所定位置に配設された凹部８に上記係止用突片２５を係合させることにより、上記ハンガー支持棒を必要な長さに引き伸ばした状態で、上記規制部材３によって下方部材２を係止することができる。また、図１２に示すように、下方部材２が最下方位置まで引き下げられると、下方部材２の上部に設けられた段部１６ａに、上方部材１の下部に設けられた舌片１０の先端部が当接して下方部材２のスライド変位が規制されるため、下方部材２が上方部材１から引き抜かれることが防止されることになる。
【００２９】
上記のようにしてスライド可能に連結された上方部材１と下方部材２とを有するハンガー支持棒を必要な長さに引き伸ばした後、このハンガー支持棒によって衣服が掛けられたハンガー４を持ち上げることにより、洋服ダンスや押し入れ内の上方部等に設けられた吊下用のバー等からなる係止部に、吊下用フック２６を容易に引っ掛けてハンガー４を吊下することができる。また、上記洋服ダンス内等に収容された衣服を取出す際には、上記ハンガー支持棒を持ってハンガー４を押し上げることにより、上記係止部から吊下用フック２６を容易に離脱させることができる。
【００３０】
そして、ハンガー支持棒の不使用時には、規制部材３の下部を図１１の矢印Ａに示す方向、つまり下方部材２の基板１１側に接近させる方向に押動し、上記ばね板１６の付勢力に抗して上記ピン１７を支点に規制部材３を揺動変位させることにより、上記係止用突片２５を凹部８外に退避させて、規制部材３による下方部材２の係止状態を強制的に解除する。この状態で、下方部材２を押上げ、上方部材１に沿って上方にスライド変位させることにより、ハンガー支持棒の全長をコンパクトに縮めるようにする。
【００３１】
このようにハンガー本体５に取り付けられる上方部材１と、この上方部材１に沿ってスライド可能に連結された下方部材２と、この下方部材２を係止してそのスライド変位を規制する規制部材３とを設け、この規制部材３による下方部材２の係止状態を解除可能なように構成したため、ハンガー支持棒の不使用時には、上記規制部材３による下方部材２の係止状態を解除し、下方部材２を上方部材１に沿って上方にスライド変位させることにより、ハンガー支持棒の全長をコンパクトに縮めることができる。したがって、上記支持棒が取り付けられたハンガー４の梱包または流通時等に、嵩張るのを防止して保管および搬送等を容易に行うことができる。
【００３２】
また、ハンガー支持棒の使用時には、下方部材２を引っ張って下方部材２を下方にスライド変位させることにより、上記支持棒を必要な長さに引き伸ばすことができるため、高所に位置する係止部にハンガー４の吊下用フック２６を容易に引っ掛けてハンガー４を吊下させることができる。そして、ハンガー４の係止位置に対応させて支持棒を任意の長さに調節することができるため、ハンガー４を比較的低い位置にある係止部に吊下させる場合に、従来技術のようにハンガー支持棒を展開することによってその全長が必要以上に長くなって支持棒が邪魔になる等の事態が生じるのを防止することができる。
【００３３】
さらに、上記のように下方部材２を上方部材１に沿って上方にスライド変位させることによりコンパクト化するように構成したため、多数の洋服が収納される等によりスペース的に余裕がない場合においても、洋服ダンス等に設けられた係止部にハンガー４を吊下させた状態で、ハンガー支持棒を伸長状態から収縮状態に容易に移行させることができる。
【００３４】
また、上記実施形態では、下方部材２に、係止用突片２５を有する規制部材３を設けるとともに、上方部材１に、上記係止用突片２５が係合される複数の凹部８を上下方向に一定間隔で配設したため、係止用突片２５の先端部を上記凹部８の一つに嵌入することにより、上方部材１と下方部材２とのスライド変位を効果的に規制することができるとともに、上記係止用突片２５を凹部８外に導出させることにより、上記規制部材３による下方部材２の係止状態を確実に解除して下方部材２をスムーズにスライド変位させることができる。なお、上記上方部材１構成と、下方部材２の構成とを逆転させ、ハンガー本体２７に取り付けられた上方部材に上記規制部材３を取り付けるとともに、下方部材に上記凹部８を設けた構造としてもよい。
【００３５】
さらに上記実施形態に示すように、規制部材３の係止用突片２５を凹部８に係合させる方向に付勢するばね板１６からなる付勢部材を下方部材２に設けるとともに、上記凹部８および係止用突片２５の先端部に、先窄まり方向に傾斜した上下一対のテーパ面８ａ，８ｂおよびテーパ面２５ａ，２５ｂをそれぞれ設けた場合には、このテーパ面８ａ，８ｂ，２５ａ，２５ｂを案内面として上記係止用突片２５を凹部８にスムーズに嵌入することができるとともに、上記ばね板１６の付勢力に応じて係止用突片２５と凹部８との係合状態を安定して維持することができる。また、ハンガー支持棒の不使用時には、上記ばね板１６の付勢力に抗して規制部材３を押動して、上記係止用突片２５と凹部８との係合状態を解除することにより、上記下方部材２の係止状態を強制的に解除することができる。
【００３６】
そして、上記一対のテーパ面８ａ，８ｂ，２５ａ，２５ｂのうち、上方側に位置するテーパ面８ａ，２５ａが、下方側のテーパ面８ｂ，２５ｂに比べて急角度で起立するように、その傾斜角度α，βをそれぞれ設定したため、ハンガー支持棒を引き伸ばす際に、下方部材２を下方に引っ張るだけで、緩やかに傾斜した下方側のテーパ面８ｂ，２５ｂを案内面として上記係止用突片２５を凹部８外にスムーズに導出させて、規制部材３による下方部材２の係止状態を自動的に解除することができる。
【００３７】
また、上記ハンガー支持棒の使用時には、ハンガー４から上方部材１に入力された荷重に応じ、急角度で起立した上方側のテーパ面８ａ，２５ａを互いに当接させることによって上記荷重を支持することができる。したがって、上記ハンガー支持棒によりハンガー４の吊下用フック２６を係止部に引っ掛ける際に大きな荷重が作用した場合においても、上記規制部材３による下方部材２の係止状態が解除されるのを防止し、上記ハンガー支持棒を伸長状態に安定して維持することができる。
【００３８】
なお、上記凹部８の前後に設けられた一対のテーパ面８ａ，８ｂまたは上記係止用突片２５の下端部に設けられた一対のテーパ面２５ａ，２５ｂの一方を省略した構造としてもよく、また上方側に位置するテーパ面８ａ，２５ａを省略し、上記凹部８および係止用突片２５の下方側にのみテーパ面８ｂ，２５ｂを設けた構造としてもよい。
【００３９】
さらに、上記実施形態では、抜け止め用の舌片１０を上方部材１の下端部に設けるとともに、上記舌片１０が当接する段部１６ａを下方部材２の上端部に設け、上記段部１６ａに舌片１０を当接させることによって上方部材１と下方部材２との連結状態を維持するように構成したため、下方部材２を引っ張って下方にスライド変位させる際に、図１２に示すように、下方部材２が最下方位置まで移動して、上記舌片１０が下方部材２に設けられたばね板１６の下方に導入された時点で、ばね板１６の裏面基端部に形成された段部１６ａと、上記舌片１０の先端部とが係合されて下方部材２のスライド変位が規制されることになる。
【００４０】
したがって、下方部材２を下方にスライド変位させてハンガー支持棒を引き伸ばす際に、下方部材２が最下方位置を越えて下降して上方部材１との連結状態が解除されることを、上記抜け止め用の舌片１０および段部１６ａによって効果的に防止することができる。なお、上記実施形態に代え、下方部材２の上端部に、抜け止め用の舌片１０を設けるとともに、この舌片１０の先端部等が当接する段部１６ａを上方部材１の下端部に設けた構造としてもよい。
【００４１】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように、請求項１に係る発明は、ハンガー本体に取り付けられる上方部材と、この上方部材に沿ってスライド可能に連結される下方部材と、この下方部材を係止してスライド変位を規制する規制部材とを設け、この規制部材による下方部材の係止状態を解除可能なように構成したため、ハンガー支持棒の不使用時には、上記規制部材による下方部材の係止状態を解除して下方部材を上方にスライド変位させることにより、ハンガー支持棒をコンパクト化してこの支持棒が取り付けられたハンガーの梱包または搬送等を容易に行うことができる。また、上方部材の下端部または下方部材の上端部のいずれか一方に、抜け止め用の舌片を設けるとともに、同他方に、上記舌片が当接する段部を設け、この段部に舌片を当接させることによって上方部材と下方部材との連結状態を維持するように構成したため、下方部材を引っ張って下方にスライド変位させる際に、下方部材が最下降位置に移動した時点で、上記段部に舌片の先端部が当接して上方部材と下方部材とのスライド変位が係止されることにより、この下方部材が最下方位置を越えて下降して上方部材との連結状態が解除されることを効果的に防止することができる。
【００４２】
そして、ハンガー支持棒の使用時には、下方部材を引っ張って下方にスライド変位させることにより、上記支持棒を必要な長さに引き伸ばすことができるため、高所に位置する係止部にハンガーの吊下用フックを容易に引っ掛けてハンガーを吊下させることができるとともに、多数の洋服が収納されるというによりスペース的に余裕がない場合においても、洋服ダンス等に設けられた係止部にハンガーを吊下させた状態で、ハンガー支持棒を伸長状態から収縮状態に容易に移行させることができる等の利点がある。
【００４３】
また、請求項２に係る発明は、上方部材または下方部材のいずれか一方に、係止用突片を有する規制部材を取り付けるとともに、同他方に、上記係止用突片が係合される複数の凹部を上下方向に一定間隔で形成し、この凹部に係止用突片を係合することによって上方部材と下方部材とのスライド変位を係止するように構成したため、上記係止用突片の先端部を凹部内に嵌入することにより、上方部材に沿って下方部材がスライド変位するのを効果的に規制することができるとともに、上記係止用突片を凹部外に導出させることにより、上記規制部材による下方部材の係止状態を確実に解除して下方部材をスムーズにスライド変位させることができる。
【００４４】
また、請求項３に係る発明は、規制部材の係止用突片を凹部に係合させる方向に付勢する付勢部材を備えるとともに、上記係止用突片の先端部および凹部の少なくとも一方に、先窄まり方向に傾斜した上下一対のテーパ面を設け、かつ上方側に位置するテーパ面が下方側のテーパ面に比べて急角度で起立するように、両テーパ面の傾斜角度をそれぞれ設定したため、このテーパ面を案内面として上記係止用突片を凹部にスムーズに嵌入することができるとともに、上記付勢部材の付勢力に応じて係止用突片と凹部との係合状態を安定して維持することができ、かつハンガー支持棒の不使用時には、上記付勢部材の付勢力に抗して規制部材を押動して上記係止用突片と凹部との係合状態を解除することにより、上記下方部材の係止状態を強制的に解除することができるという利点がある。
【００４５】
しかも上記ハンガー支持棒を引き伸ばす際に、下方部材を下方に引っ張るだけで、緩やかに傾斜した下方側のテーパ面を案内面として上記係止用突片を凹部外にスムーズに導出させて、規制部材による下方部材の係止状態を自動的に解除することができるとともに、上記ハンガー支持棒の使用時には、ハンガーから上方部材に入力された荷重を、急角度で起立した上方側のテーパ面の当接部において安定して支持することができるため、上記ハンガー支持棒を使用してハンガーの吊下用フックを係止部に引っ掛ける際等に、上記規制部材による下方部材の係止状態が解除されるのを防止し、ハンガー支持棒を伸長状態に安定して維持することができる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an improvement of a hanger support rod used when, for example, a hanger is hung on and off a locking portion located at a high place.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, as shown in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 4-9879, a predetermined length is provided below the hanger so that the hook of the hanger can be easily detached from the engaging portion provided at a high place. In the hanger support rod that is attached directly to the hanger so as to protrude and support the hanger, the support rod is a coupling body in which the lower end of the upper rod and the upper end of the lower rod are rotatably coupled, and this mutual coupling A locking device is provided on the part to hold the axial connection between the upper and lower rods, and the upper end of the upper rod is rotatably fitted on a locking shaft provided in parallel with the upper front surface of the hanger. A hanger support rod is known.
[0003]
When the hanger support bar is not in use, after unlocking the upper rod and the lower rod, which are locked in a linear state by a locking device, the lower rod is rotated about the connecting shaft as the upper rod. By being overlapped with each other, it can be folded compactly. Also, when using the hanger support rod, the folded state of the upper heel and the lower heel is released and the lower heel is rotated so as to be positioned on the straight line with the upper heel, and then this linear state is maintained by the lock device. Thus, the support state of the hanger can be stabilized when the hook of the hanger is hooked on the locking portion at a high place.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The hanger support bar described in the above publication can change the length only in two stages of the expanded state and the folded state of the upper and lower ridges, so that the hangers are in a relatively low position. When hung from the hanger, the unfolded dimension of the hanger support bar becomes longer than necessary, and this support bar may become an obstacle. In order to prevent such a situation, if the length of the upper hook and the lower hook are set so as to shorten the unfolded dimension of the hanger support rod, the hanger support is supported when the hanger locking portion is at a high position. There is a problem that even if a rod is used, the hook of the hanger cannot be easily hooked on the locking portion.
[0005]
Further, since the lower heel is pivotally displaced about the shaft portion provided at the connecting portion between the lower end of the upper heel and the upper end of the lower heel, the lower heel is shifted from the unfolded state to the folded state.
