Description

The present invention relates to a mechanism for attaching a pinch attachment body to a clothes hanger frame.

The clothes hangers have a pinch to pinch the objects to be dried. The pinch is typically attached via a pinch fixture, rather than directly attached to the clothes hanger frame. The reason why the pinch is not attached directly to the frame is that it is desirable to place the object to be dried at a certain distance from the frame when the object is dried.

Various materials such as resin and stainless steel are used for the frame, the pinch and the pinch attachment of the clothes-hanging hanger. When the material is resin, there is an advantage that the shape can be freely controlled, but there is a problem that deterioration due to ultraviolet rays occurs in a short time. When the material is made of metal, there is a great advantage that deterioration due to ultraviolet rays does not easily occur, but there is a problem that the freedom of form does not work. In addition, when manufacturing clothes hangers, the work of attaching the pinch to the frame is often done manually even today with the progress of mechanization, and the time and difficulty of the installation work affect the labor cost during manufacturing. To do. As will be described later, in the case of a conventional metal pinch fixture, when the conventional attachment method is used, the product is inevitably expensive due to the time and labor required for the attachment.

When the pinch attachment is made of resin, the freedom of the shape is effective, so that the pinch attachment of the form that can be easily attached to the frame as shown in Patent Document 2, for example, can be obtained. On the other hand, when the pinch attachment is made of metal, it is general to use a chain-shaped member or a clip-shaped member. When the pinch attachment is a chain-shaped member, the pinch is attached to one end of the chain and the other end of the chain is attached to the frame of the clothes-hanger. The other end of the chain is composed of one ring that constitutes the chain, and is formed by bending a linear member into a ring shape. When attaching the other end of the chain to the clothes hanger frame, it was necessary to pry open the ring and fit it into a hole or the like provided in the frame. In the case of this method, it takes time to attach a large number of pinches, and this also causes the operator's fingers to be injured. Therefore, the cost for manufacturing becomes high. The case where the pinch attachment member is a chain-shaped member has been described, but the same applies when the pinch attachment member is a clip-shaped member.

Of the members constituting the clothes hanger, where the pinch is most likely to be damaged, if the damaged pinch can be replaced, the clothes hanger can be used continuously without being discarded. In this case, the pinch is replaced by the final consumer. Therefore, it is preferable that the work of attaching the pinch to the frame of the clothes-hanging hanger is easy not only for the manufacturing process but also for the final general consumer.

Patent Document 1 describes a mechanism in which a pinch attachment member has a shape in which an elongated loop-shaped body is folded back in the center, and a locking assisting tool having a locking projection is used. According to the mechanism described in Patent Document 1, the work of prying open the ring is unnecessary, but there is a problem that the number of parts is large. In addition, for attachment, it is necessary to pinch the elongated loop-shaped body and hook it on the locking protrusion of the locking assisting tool, and there is a problem that skill for performing this work is required. ..

Patent document 2 is a gazette of a registered design. The article related to the design is a pinch suspending tool for suspending a pinch on a frame frame of a clothes dryer. However, it is actually possible to manufacture a metal material having a shape as shown in Patent Document 2. Is hard to think of.

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 5-39494 Design Registration No. 1365570

An object of the present invention is to provide a mechanism capable of easily attaching a pinch attachment body to a frame of a clothes-hanging hanger.

(1) A pinch attachment body for attaching a pinch to a clothes-hanger and a U-shaped body having one end attached to the frame of the clothes-hanger and the other end being an open end, wherein the pinch-attachment body is the open end of the U-shaped body. The problem is solved by a pinch mount attachment mechanism of a clothes hanger that is inserted from a void formed between the frame and the frame and is attached to the U-shape.
(2) A guide plate of a cantilever beam extending from the frame toward the open end of the U-shaped body, the guide plate being for guiding the attachment of the pinch attachment body to the U-shaped body ( The problem is solved by the pinch mount attachment mechanism of the clothes-hanger described in 1).
(3) When the space is substantially closed by the guide plate, the guide plate prevents the pinch attachment body attached to the U-shaped body from coming off from the U-shaped body (1). Alternatively, the problem is solved by the pinch attachment body attachment mechanism of the clothes hanger described in (2).
(4) An object is provided by the pinch attachment body attachment mechanism of the clothes-hanger according to any one of (1) to (3), which is provided with an auxiliary plate that assists in firmly attaching the U-shaped body and the frame. To solve.
(5) A plurality of the U-shaped bodies are provided on the wall surface of the clothes-hanging hanger, and the plurality of U-shaped bodies are arranged such that the straight lines connecting one end and the other end of each U-shaped body are aligned in the same direction on the same straight line. The problem is solved by the pinch mount attachment mechanism of the clothes-hanger according to any one of (1) to (4).

The “U-shaped body” refers to a member having three parts, that is, a part that is one end, a part that is the other end, and a part that returns between one end and the other end. It suffices if there are such three portions, for example, the folded portion existing between one end and the other end is not rounded, and even if it is a V-shaped form, it is applicable. Further, for example, when the other end is an open end, the other end further has a portion to be bent over, and the “U-shaped body” may form a so-called S-shaped body as a whole. Since the other end is provided with a portion to be turned over again, it is possible to prevent the pinch engaged with the “U-shaped body” from coming off. When hanging clothes on the clothes-hanger, the U-shaped body hangs down by gravity, and the clip engages with the folded portion existing between one end and the other end.

In this specification, the "wall surface of the frame" refers to all the surfaces constituting the frame of the clothes hanger unless otherwise specified. For example, in the case where the frame is a frame whose cross section is in the shape of "U", the "wall surface of the frame" means all three surfaces including each side forming the "U" shape. ..

The U-shaped hook is made of a material that can be flexed to some extent. When the clip is attached, the hook is pushed by the clip and bends so that the clip can be inserted. When the clip is completely inserted, the hook returns to its original position, which makes it difficult for the clip to come off the hook.

The space between the open end of the hook and the frame is small, and when the hanger is in use, the pinch dangles and stays at the hook's "folding site". For this reason, the pinch is made hard to come off from the hook. Moreover, the guide plate near the void between the open end of the hook and the frame acts like a lid for the void, making the pinch more difficult to disengage from the hook.

The clip may be made of metal, resin, or the like.

According to the mechanism of the present application, the pinch attachment body can be easily attached to the frame of the clothes hanger.

The whole clothes-hanging hanger which concerns on Example 1 of this application is shown. The form of the hook which concerns on Example 1 of this application is shown. The attachment mechanism of the hook and the clip which concerns on Example 1 of this application is shown. 3 illustrates a frame and a hook according to the first embodiment of the present application. A conventional example is shown.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, the clothes-drying hanger 1 includes a frame 3 which is the body of the clothes-hanging hanger, and a pinch 6 for sandwiching an object to be dried. The pinch 6 is not directly attached to the frame 3, but is attached to the frame 3 via a clip 5 which is a pinch attachment body. The clip 5 is made of metal.

As shown in FIG. 4, the clothes drying hanger 1 includes a hook 10. In addition, in FIG. 4, the position of the open end of the hook is deformed and displayed with respect to the direction of the hook. When the clothes-hanging hanger 1 is viewed from the direction shown in FIG. 4, each hook looks like FIG. 2B. The hook 10 is made of resin and allows some bending when pushed by the force of a person. The clip 5 is attached to the hook 10 as shown in FIG. 3, and the pinch 6 is attached to the clip 5 as shown in FIG.

The configuration of the hook 10 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2(a) is an explanatory view of a portion of the clothes hanger where one hook 10 is seen from the side, and three walls (3b, 3a) forming a frame having a "U-shaped" cross section. In 3c), the wall of 3b is removed. FIG.2(b) is explanatory drawing which looked at the location with one hook 10 of the clothes-hanger from the bottom face.

The hook 10 is substantially U-shaped. One end of the hook 10 constitutes a base portion 11 and is fixed to the frame 3. The other end of the hook 10 constitutes an open end 12 that opens toward the frame 3, and a space 14 is provided between the open end 12 and the frame 3.

A cantilever guide plate 16 extending from the frame 3 is provided near the open end 12 of the hook 10. The guide plate 16 is made of resin and, like the hook 10, is pushed by a person to allow some bending. The guide plate 16 functions as a guide for the clip 5 when the clip 5 is attached to the hook 10 as described later.

A support plate 15 extending from the frame 3 is attached to the base portion 11 of the hook 10. The support plate 15 extends over the three wall surfaces (3a, 3b, 3c) of the U-shaped frame. The support plate 15 prevents the hook 10 from unnecessarily bending around the base 11.

A mechanism for attaching the clip 5 to the hook 10 will be described with reference to FIGS.

(A) The clip 5 is a ring-shaped member formed by bending a linear metal. First, the clip 5 is formed between the guide plate 16 and the hook 10 by orienting the clip 5 in the direction in which the ring engages with the hook 10. The clip 5 is inserted into the hook 10 through the clip introduction port 19.

(B) While inserting the clip 5 along the guide plate 16, the clip 5 is further inserted toward the guide wall 18 of the frame. At this time, the guide plate 16 and the hook 10 are pushed by the incoming clip 5 and slightly bend in the direction away from the clip 5 (the direction of the small arrow in the figure). At this time, the base portion 11 of the hook 10 needs to have a force capable of withstanding the bending of the hook. Therefore, the support plate 15 is provided on the base 11 side of the hook 10. The supporting slope 15 extends over the wall surface of the frame of the clothes hanger so as to firmly support the front, rear, left, and right of the hook 10.

(C) When the clip 5 reaches the guide wall 18, the tip of the clip 5 enters the space 14 formed between the open end 12 of the hook and the guide wall 18 of the frame, and at that moment, the guide plate 16 and the hook. The flexure of the hook 10 in the direction away from the clip 5 is eliminated, the open end 12 of the hook 10 moves in the direction of the small arrow in the figure, and returns to the original position before it is bent in the direction away from the clip 5.

(D) The open end 12 at the tip of the hook is inserted into the ring of the clip 5, and the clip 5 is moved toward the clip engaging portion 13 of the hook (the direction of the arrow in the drawing).

(E) When the clip 5 reaches the clip engaging portion 13 of the hook, the attachment of the clip 5 to the hook 10 is completed.

A mechanism for attaching a plurality of clips 5 to the clothes-hanging hanger 1 will be described with reference to FIG. 4. The clothes hangers 1 are provided with one hook 10 at each position where a pinch is attached. In the clothes-drying hanger 1 of FIG. 4, the hooks 10 are provided at 32 places. In order to explain the mechanism for attaching the pinch to the hooks, the hooks are numbered A1 to A16 and B1 to B16. The hooks A1 to A16 have the same opening direction of the open end 12 of the hook, and all of them are open downward in FIG. Further, the hooks B1 to B16 have the same opening direction of the open end portion 12 of the hook, and all of them are opened downward as shown in FIG.

In the clothes-drying hanger 1 shown in FIG. 4, the frame 3 is folded in two around a rotation axis (not marked) for bending the frame. That is, the frame 3 includes the frame in the upper half of the figure (that is, the side where the hooks A2 to A15, B16, and B1 are located) (referred to as the "upper frame") and the frame in the lower half of the figure (that is, the frame B2 To B15, A16, and A1) (referred to as the "lower frame"). The reason why B16 and B1 are present in the upper frame is that B16 and B1 are in the direction of the rotation axis for bending the frame, so when the rotation axis is in the same direction as the hooks of A2 to A15, Because it is difficult to attach. The reason why A16 and A1 are present in the lower frame is similar to this.

The clip 5 is attached to the clothes-hanging hanger 1 as follows. First, the worker holds the clothes-hanging hanger 1 by placing the clothes-hanging hanger 1 in such an orientation that the lower frame is located in front of the worker. Next, in the order of B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6,... B13, B14, B15, B16, the clip 10 is attached to the hook 10 by one operation in the same manner as described with reference to FIG. Install each one. At this time, since the open ends 12 of the hooks 10 face the same direction, the work efficiency is very good. Next, the worker holds the clothes-hanging hanger 1 by rotating the clothes-hanging hanger 1 by 180 degrees and placing the clothes-hanging hanger 1 in such an orientation that the upper frame is located in front. Next, in the order of A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6,... A13, A14, A15, A16, the clip 5 is attached to the hook 10 one by one by the operation described in FIG. Install each one. At this time, since the open ends 12 of the hooks 10 face the same direction, the work efficiency is very good.
