Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a suspension mechanism and a suspension container provided with the mechanism.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As a suspended container, for example, a hook is erected from the upper surface of a container main body containing an insect repellent, a deodorant and the like, and the hook is used by being engaged with a rod at a suspension place for the hook. There is something.
[0003]
The conventional hook of this type of container has an arc shape with an opening at one end of the ring, so the hook often falls off due to an external force in a specific direction, especially for clothes dance etc. In the case of an insect repellent container, it is easy to receive external force from all directions by the stored clothes and hangers, and the tendency is strong.
[0004]
Further, in consideration of such points, the hook can be elastically deformed, and when the hook is fitted to the rod for hanging the hook, the rod entrance / exit of the hook is elastically expanded to facilitate the fitting. On the other hand, it has been proposed that the hooks are made difficult to come off by narrowing the rod entrance and exit by elastic restoration (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-130081).
[0005]
The hook has a C-shape when viewed from the front, and the narrower the opening width of the doorway, the more the rod once fitted can be prevented from being inadvertently removed by external force. In this case, there is a limit to make the opening width of the entrance / exit narrow so that it is difficult for the rod to pass through due to the limit of elastic deformation.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and the opening width of the entrance / exit can be made as narrow as possible so that an undesired drop due to an external force after the suspension hardly occurs, and the opening width is narrow when suspended. However, the present invention proposes a suspension mechanism that can be easily expanded and can be easily attached, and that can be easily removed by taking a predetermined procedure for removal, and a suspension container having the mechanism. .
[0007]
The first means is configured as follows. That is, a suspension mechanism in which a hook 3 having a lower opening on one side surface is erected from the upper surface of the suspended body 2, and the clearance between the free end a of the hook 3 along the hook inner surface and between the hook inner surface. The elastic band plate 4 is extended with a gap 5 as follows, and the elastic band plate end portion 4E is suspended at the lower end of the hook free end a and the end b is suspended on the side of the free end a. It is connected to the upper surface of the lower body 2 and is formed in a mountain shape that can be elastically deformed in front view, and an opening / closing port 7 of the hanging rod 6 formed between the free end a and the end crest c is opened. The width d is configured to be smaller than the diameter of the rod 6, the elastic band plate 4 is formed in an arc shape from the free end a to the end top c, and is inclined from the end top c to the end b, A mountain-shaped gap larger than the gap 5 was formed below the mountain-shaped portion.
[0008]
The second means is configured as follows. That is, in the first means, the elastic band plate 4 is formed in a circular arc shape from the free end a to the terminal top c, and from the terminal top c to the terminal b in an inclined shape .
[0009]
The third means is configured as follows. That is, in either the first means or the second means, the suspended body 2 is configured to be a case-like container body 8 into which a stored item can be inserted .
[0010]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0011]
As shown in FIG. 1, the suspension mechanism 1 of the present invention has a hook 3 erected from the upper surface of a suspended body 2, and an elastic band plate 4 is extended inside the hook 3.
[0012]
The hook 3 has a bowl shape with an opening at one side, and an inner peripheral edge formed in an arc shape is preferably used.
[0013]
The elastic band plate 4 extends from the free end a of the hook 3 along the hook inner surface and with a clearance 5 as a clearance between the hook inner surface and the end 4E. The terminal b is connected to the upper surface of the container body 8 on the side of the free end a so as to be maximized below the hook free end a and is formed in a mountain shape that can be elastically deformed in side view. Moreover, the opening width d of the entrance / exit 7 formed between the free end a and the terminal top c and allowing the rod 6 to suspend the suspended body 2 to be taken in and out is formed smaller than the diameter of the rod 6.
[0014]
As long as the above-mentioned requirements are satisfied, the mountain shape of the elastic band plate 4 end portion 4E can be variously adopted. However, in the embodiment shown in FIG. In the arc shape, the end portion c to the end b are formed in an inclined shape to form a mountain shape at the end portion. When the inclined portion is pressed by the rod when fitted to the rod 6, It can be reliably elastically deformed so as to widen the opening width of the doorway 7 and can be easily mounted on the rod. In addition, since the peak portion is provided at a relatively acute angle, even if the rod 6 once fitted presses the arc-shaped portion toward the side, the peak-shaped portion is hardly collapsed in shape, and the doorway 7 is formed without permission. It is configured not to spread.
[0015]
FIG. 3 shows another embodiment in which the peak shape of the end portion 4E makes it easier to push the rod 6 with the peak portion as a smooth curved surface. In this case, compared to the embodiment of FIG. 1, the mountain-shaped portion is easily deformed by an external force, but it can be dealt with if the opening width of the doorway 7 is made sufficiently narrow. In the present invention, since the gap 5 is provided as a clearance, the object can be achieved even if the opening width d of the entrance / exit 7 is narrowed.
[0016]
FIG. 2 shows an example in which the suspension mechanism 1 of the present invention is suspended from a cylindrical rod 6. As shown in FIG. 2 (a), when the inlet / outlet 7 is brought into contact with the rod 6 and the hook 3 is pushed in, the inclined portion at the end of the elastic band plate 4 is elastically deformed so as to push down, and the inlet / outlet 7 expands. At the same time, the other portion is pushed in the direction of the gap 5 as the outward clearance, and the rod 6 can enter inward from the entrance 7 as shown in FIG. 2 (b). Next, when the hook 3 is further pushed in, the rod 6 is engaged with the hook 3 as shown in FIG. 2 (c). At that time, the elastic band plate 4 is elastically restored to the original state and the entrance / exit 7 is opened. Return to the original narrow opening width.
[0017]
At the time of removal, it is possible to easily remove the hook 3 by pushing the inclined portion of the elastic band plate 4 with a finger from this state to widen the opening width of the entrance 7 and then pushing the hook 3 in the direction opposite to the entrance 7. In addition, when pushing in the hook 3, it is good to carry out with the suspended body 2.
[0018]
The suspended body 2 can be used in various forms, and can correspond to a case-like or plate-like thing as shown in the drawing, or any other suspended object. Various materials such as synthetic resin, metal, and wood can be used as the material, but it is convenient in molding if the hook 3 and the elastic band plate 4 are integrally formed of synthetic resin.
[0019]
FIG. 1 shows an example of a hanging container A according to the present invention. The container 1 includes the above-described hanging mechanism 1 according to the present invention. The suspended container A employs a case-shaped container body 8 into which a stored item can be inserted as the suspended body 2. Examples of stored items include, but are not limited to, insect repellents and deodorants.
[0020]
The container body 8 in the illustrated example has a flat hollow case as a whole, and has a front container body with a peripheral wall extending rearward from the peripheral edge of the horizontally long rectangular shape, and a front side of the peripheral edge of the horizontally long rectangular rear wall. The rear container body with the peripheral wall extending is firmly fixed by fixing means with the end faces of the peripheral walls abutting each other. The fixing means employs fitting of protrusions and fitting cylinders provided at a plurality of locations on the inner peripheral edge of the front wall and a plurality of locations on the inner peripheral periphery of the rear wall, but is not limited thereto. Absent. A large number of window holes 9 are formed in the front and rear walls of the container body to volatilize the insect repellent.
[0021]
In addition, a hook 3 and an elastic band plate 4 are erected with the lower left portion opened from the center of the upper surface of the front container body. The hook 3 and the elastic strip 4 are erected from the upper surface of the front container body, and both are integrally formed of the front container body and the synthetic resin. Of course, the front container body and the rear container body can be integrally formed through hinges, and the whole can be integrally formed of synthetic resin.
[0022]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, since the suspension mechanism of the first means has the above-described configuration, it can be easily suspended from the rod 6 or removed from the rod 6 by a simple operation. Moreover, the opening width d of the entrance / exit 7 is combined with the fact that the elastic band plate end portion 4E is formed in a mountain shape that can be elastically deformed and the clearance 5 is provided as a clearance for the elastic band plate 4. Can be expanded to a sufficient size when the rod is inserted, and after being suspended, the opening width d of the entrance / exit 7 is narrow and the elastic strip 4 can be a cushioning material. Together, it is less likely to be inadvertently detached by an external force, and the suspended state can be reliably maintained. Moreover, the structure is also simple and has the advantage that it can be easily formed.
[0023]
Further, the suspension mechanism of the second means is that the inclined portion of the elastic strip pressed by the rod when fitted to the rod 6 efficiently elastically deforms the mountain-shaped end portion while pushing the arc-shaped portion. And has the advantage that the opening of the entrance 7 can be made easier.
[0024]
In addition, the suspended container of the third means is not noticeable when an insect repellent or the like is stored and hung on the rod in the chiffon, and the container is removed by putting in or taking out clothes, hangers, etc. It is possible to exhibit sufficient effectiveness of the contents of the container.
