Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention is a hanger conveyor that includes a rail arranged along a work process line and a plurality of hangers that are suspended from the rail and transported. It belongs to the field of, in particular, the structure of the hanger.

[Prior Art] The applicant previously proposed, as Patent Application No. 16227 filed in 1982, that the proximal end moves in the horizontal direction and rotates at the moved position on one side of a vertically extending gap provided in the hanger main body. The holding claw is supported by the hanger main body, and the free end of the holding claw is pressed against the other side of the gap by a spring, and the object to be transported is pressed between the other side of the gap and the holding claw. A hanger was provided to hold it.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] In the above hanger, by changing the hanging state of the spring, the distance between the other side of the gap and the holding claw can be adjusted depending on the thickness and material of the transported object. Although the pressing force can be adjusted, the adjustment range of the pressing force is limited, so when carrying a particularly heavy object, such as jeans, the holding claw may resist the pressing force of the spring due to its weight. It had the disadvantage that it could be rotated downward and fall off.

[Purpose of the invention] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a hanger that can be widely used regardless of the thickness or material of the transported object.

[Means for Solving the Problems] Therefore, in the present invention, the hanger is detachably attached to the hanger body or movably mounted on the hanger body between an active position and a non-active position, and when attached or moved to the active position. A blocking member is provided which engages with the holding pawl during movement of the holding pawl and prevents a line segment connecting the free end of the holding pawl and the center of rotation from rotating downward beyond at least a horizontal position.

[Function] This restricts the downward rotation of the holding claw when the blocking member is installed or moved to the active position, and the rotation of the holding claw is restricted when the blocking member is removed or moved to the non-active position. is carried out freely.

[Embodiment] The details of an embodiment of the present invention will be explained below based on the drawings.

A rail 3 formed along a sewing process line is installed on a support arm 2 which is fixedly suspended from a frame 1.

The hanger 4 has wheels 5 which engage said rail 3 and transport the hanger 4 along said rail 3.
It is suspended from the rail 3 via.

The structure of the hanger 4 will be described in detail. Reference numeral 6 is a support rod hanging from the wheel 5, and a hanger main body 7 made of a synthetic resin material is attached to the lower end of the support rod.

At the lower end of the hanger main body 7, a plurality of gaps 8 for inserting parts P of clothes as objects to be transported are formed so as to extend in the vertical direction, and each gap is opened downward. A plurality of comb-like protrusions 9 are formed at the lower end of the hanger main body 7 by this gap 8.

At the lower end of each projection piece 9, a thick fitting part 10 is formed corresponding to one side of each gap 8, and a retaining wall part 11 is formed corresponding to the other side of each gap 8. ing. Furthermore, a long support hole 12 extending substantially horizontally is formed in the fitting portion 10 of each projecting piece 9 .

Furthermore, the fitting portion 10 is provided with a mounting portion 1 that is configured to become thinner as it approaches the gap 8.

An engaging portion 15 is provided at the lowermost end of each protruding piece 9 facing the
is formed protrudingly.

A plurality of holding claws 16 for holding clothing parts P between the holding wall portion 11 are formed of a flexible synthetic resin material, and as shown in FIG. It is formed as a two-pronged part 17 that fits into the fitting part 10 of the projecting piece 9, and this two-pronged part 17
A pair of pin-shaped portions 18 constituting a rotational fulcrum of the holding claw 16 are formed protrudingly on the opposing inner surfaces of the holding claw 16, and
Spring retaining grooves 19 are formed at the side edges of the forked portions 17, respectively. Then, the two-pronged portions 17 of each holding claw 16 are fitted into the fitting portion 10 from the mounting portion 13 while being expanded against their elasticity, and the pair of pin-shaped portions 18 are engaged with the support hole 12. By matching, each holding claw 16 is supported by the lower end of each projecting piece 9 so as to be able to move substantially horizontally and rotate at the moving position.

A pair of mounting pins 20 are provided on both sides of the proximal end of each projecting piece 9 in correspondence with each of the holding claws 16 . A spring 21 as a biasing means is wound around each mounting pin 20, and one end of the spring 21 is attached to the holding claw 1.

Corresponding to the other end of the spring 21, three spring hooks 22a, 22b, 22c are provided on both sides of the proximal end of each projecting piece 9.
are arranged vertically at intervals so that the other end of the spring 21 can be selectively hooked.

The spring 21 applies a pressing force to the retaining claw 16 in the direction toward the retaining wall portion 11 of the protruding piece 9 whose free end faces the retaining claw 16, thereby holding the protruding piece 9 facing the free end of the retaining claw 16. Parts P of clothing can be held between the wall part 11 and the wall part 11.

The plurality of blocking members 23 are made of a flexible synthetic resin material, and as shown in FIG. 24.

A pair of pin-shaped parts 25 that fit into the locking holes 14 are formed protruding from the opposing inner surfaces of the two pronged parts 24, and the free end sides of these pin-shaped parts 25 are provided with the left and right sides in FIG. Notched inclined surfaces 25a and 25b are formed at both ends.

In the hanger 4 configured as above,
When the clothing part P is inserted from below the gap 8 of the hanger body 7 between the retaining wall portion 11 of the projecting piece 9 and the free end of the retaining claw 16, the retaining claw 16 will move upward around the pin-shaped portion 18. After being rotated to position U, it is rotated to intermediate position M by the pressing force of spring 21,
Parts P of the clothing are held in place at that position.

Further, when the hanging part P of the garment is pulled downward, the holding claw 16 is rotated to the lower position L, and the part P can be removed.

If the thickness or material of the pearl P changes, the spring 2 for the spring hooks 22a to 22c
1 and adjust the pressing force of the spring 21.

On the other hand, if the part P is very heavy and cannot be held between the holding wall part 11 and the free end of the holding claw 16 by simply changing the hanging state, the blocking member 23 is removed from the mounting part 13. It is fitted into the fitting part 10 and attached to the projection piece 9 so that the pin-shaped part 25 is fitted into the latching hole 14. At this time, there is no particular need to widen the bifurcated portions 24 of the blocking member 23, and the blocking member 23 may be pushed in by pressing the inclined surface 25a of the pin-shaped portion 25 against the mounting portion 13.

In addition, the blocking member 23 is in the attached state,
Its lower end is engaged with the engaging portion 15 to prevent rotation.

The heavy clothing part P is held by the retaining wall 1 of the projecting piece 9.
1 and the free end of the retaining pawl 16, the retaining pawl 16 will move slightly beyond the intermediate position M due to the weight of the part P to the retaining pawl 1.
The part P is rotated to a locking position S where the lower end of the part P is brought into contact with the upper end of the blocking member 23, and the part P is clamped and held at that position. This latching position S is set at a position where the line segment connecting the free end of the holding claw 16 and the center of rotation is approximately horizontal. When removing the part P, pull the part P obliquely upward along the gap 8, rotate the holding claw 16 upward, and remove the space between the free end of the holding claw 16 and the holding wall 11. Pull out part P from.

Also, when holding parts P of light clothing,
The blocking member 23 is pulled out from the fitting part 10 of the projection piece 9. Note that since the notch of the locking hole 14 and the inclined surface 25b of the pin-shaped portion 25 of the blocking member 23 are provided, the blocking member 23 can be easily removed.

In the above embodiment, since the mounting portion 13 is provided, the holding claw 16 can be easily mounted, and
The pin-shaped portion 25 of the blocking member 23 has inclined surfaces 25a, 2.
5b, the blocking member 23 can be easily attached and detached.

In this embodiment, the blocking member 23 is attached to and detached from the protruding piece 9, but the blocking member 23 is movably attached to the protruding piece 9, and the blocking member 23 is moved to the locking position. Holding claw 1 only when
The rotation of 6 may be restricted.

[Effects of the Invention] As described in detail above, in the present invention, the blocking member is attached to the hanger main body so as to be removable or movable between the working position and the non-working position. Therefore, when carrying an object of normal weight while being held on a hanger, the blocking member is removed from the hanger main body or the blocking member is moved to the non-operating position so that the object is not covered by the hanger main body. Insert into the gap for inserting conveyed items. As a result, the object to be conveyed is held between the holding claws urged by the action of the urging means and the side walls of the gap. In this state, by pulling the conveyed object downward from the holding claw, the holding claw rotates downward against the biasing means (the line connecting the free end of the holding claw and the center of rotation is at the horizontal position). (rotate downward beyond the hanger), and the conveyed object can be easily removed from the hanger body.

On the other hand, in the case of heavy objects that cannot be held in the hanger body because the holding claws will rotate downward due to their own weight even if the object is not pulled downward, the blocking member When the hanger is attached to the hanger or the blocking member is moved from the inactive position to the active position, the holding claw engages with the blocking member and prevents the downward rotation. It can be held in the main body. still,
In this case, the object to be transported is removed from the hanger main body by, for example, an operator manually rotating the holding claw upward.

In other words, with the present invention, it is possible to hold the transported object regardless of its weight, and in the case of a light transported object, it can be removed from the hanger body by simply pulling the transported object downward. can be,
It has a very useful effect in practice.
